My friend and I were in the woods far into the north talking about where to head to next when we hear a gunshot. We run a bit and hide to look around when another shot rings out and hits the ground at my feet. We then book it deeper into the woods all the time shots being fired at us. Probably about 6 in all. Not one landed and we lost whoever was firing at us. Crappy sniper or not, the adrenaline was pumping.

Good idea, who needs to make any money on the first 1 million + coppies of a new game?

Same way you know your hunger or thirst is too high.

First of all you'd be paying for Arma2 not dayz. dayz is free. Second I've never seen a game where so many people asked if their computer could actually play it. Does everyone have a bargain basement laptop without a dedicated grapics card? http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx

There was an update that actually sped them up a little. There are designed to be like the 28 days later "infected".

Search and read the forums.

I don't think I've ever seen that many servers on the list.

I'm thinking that was a glitch. The new changelog doesn't say anything other than it's monitoring logs now.

Every character adds to the database and clogs it up especially when people just want a good spawn place. Finding eachother on the coast is prety easy. Look at the name of your spawn location, check a map online and run the corrisponding direction. It will take you at most 10 mins to find each other.

Yeah start with a map. That will help you read crylic and navigate by the stars/sun.

I have never done any greifing in this game at all but I may have to "attend" this event.... But in reality I probably won't even have time. :(

Ummm... YOU gave them the right to download updates without asking. Check your update settings.

I think there are legitimate reasons someones game would quit like an alt f4 such as a power outage or internet dropped or computer froze but the amount of times that happens is far far less than the "I'm in trouble, better alt+f4" mentality force quits. All the other mmo's I've played have a logout timer. I know rocket is aware of the problem and is looking or at least thinking of a solution. I just hope the final release of Dayz has some protection against it. If for nothing else than to reduce the amount of posts on the forums.

Because someone had a truck they were hackers?

Then it should be ok for me to force quit because my imaginary dog is "turtle heading". I'm sure rocket has his reasons for not implementing a logout timer but I sure wish he would get around to it.

That's not an excuse. You should never Alt+F4.

Just get the cheapest computer with the best video card you can find. Don't worry about the proccessor. Todays games are way more reliant on gpu than cpu. An i3 or any amd will suite you just fine.

the fuck???

I though the way to id a hacked weapon was that it had no icon in your inventory. I could be wrong though.

I don't know how you guys keep missing this but Rocket hansn't global banned anyone. Battle Eye is the one doing the banning.

Choose the male model. Problem solved.

really? this is what you worry about? You'd rather have different clothes on your character than having security holes plugged so hackers can't nuke or fixing the whole deadly doorways thing or any other of the many many bugs that kill you on a daily basis fixed?

yes..

A while ago a friend and I stumbled across an area we hadn't seen before while heading toward the NE air field from Devils Castle. It was a downed plane with military tents around it and military crates strewn about. You could go into the plane from the rear and the crates didn't have much in them. I did find an m203 and some ammo. There was also a very tall industrial looking tower with various loot piles on it. Also there was what looked like a crumbled castle tower nearby that looked out of place. Yesterday we decided to go there again and we couldn't find it. Also, we couldn't find any mention of it on the forums. I then loaded up AO and flew around the area in a helicopter and couldn't find it. Has anyone else seen this mythical place or did we both hallucinate it? Can buildings be spawned in by script kiddies? We didn't think it was spawned in since it had loot piles. I wish I had taken a screen cap of it but niether of us thought to do so.

I've nothing to gain or lose telling this. All I did was share something I ran into.
