Orphen (DayZ)

It's annoying as hell* If you're going to correct someone atleast say the sentance properly lmfao0o0opfo0fosd0fo. *sentence

The central database for all DayZ characters was DDoS'd by a bunch of butthurt script kiddies. That's what is causing the 'Waiting for character to create' error. Rocket and the team are working on restoring the service so until then, you will just have to wait.

I would say for new people to be persistant and continue trying to make friends and find a group to play with. It makes surviving alot easier and death is alot more tolerable! Your friends can pick up your gear and set you back on the path to success. You will get shot in the face alot. There's alot of paranoia now that side chat is gone, but hang in there, not everyone shoots on sight! Just remember: try not to get up in someones face until you know they're friendly! Even friendlies might fire if you sneak up on them!

I've always loved the OTs-14 Groza. But I'm a giant S.T.A.L.K.E.R fanboy.

Alpha TESTING. If he's pointing the finger, it means you've done a good job finding the loopholes. That is unless you're exploiting them. Sort of like those EVE players did before reporting the bug. It was in the news lately.

I love how you people always find the negative in some guys looking for a group. Just for your information, young people play more games than CoD or GTA.

They probably aren't allowed, but no matter how hard you try you can't stop them.

Pointless thread. Inb4 lock.

After reading this thread, I have to salute the way the admin of this server has responded to this appeal. Very rarely do we see professionalism and unbiased admin work on these forums. Good job, Strikes.

Hey there, there is a locked DayZ server on the list with slots for only 8 players. The player who I'm assuming hosted the server has named it after himself. Server Name: lu15 Falkon (Unrelated to the actual LU15 server as far as I know). It's locked and has space for only 8 players. Currently a player named 'Falkon' is online as is a player with a Russian name (I can't recreate his name here, sadly.). EDIT: Just to add a little more information. Falkon has originally played on LU15. Me and my group found a member of his group using a duplication exploit to spam wire and traps in areas. I believe that member is no longer allowed to play there. Perhaps he made this private server as an attempt to circumvent his friend's ban or to avoid all other players for an easy ride which defeats the spirit of the mod.

Falkon has switched it to a TDM mod now. I guess that means it's legit until he switches it back.

Whilst changing your brightness and gamma isn't an exploit per se, it sort of defeats one of the aspects of surviving in the game. It's pretty much the same as duping or disconnecting in combat, just that the option is in-game and blatantly obvious.

Weight and fatigue sound good. Pretty much perfect for DayZ's setting. I'm also all for more skins.

Does anyone have a transcript of the stream? I'd rather not sit there and listen to some moron from PC Gamer even if it does mean listening to Rocket's awesome accent.

If this is real, you should be banned for exploiting the wire/trap dupe glitch. If this is fake, you should be banned for exploiting the wire/trap dupe glitch.

I don't like the idea of permanent storage. Nothing in this game should be permanent. Even vehicles are a little too permanent for my liking.

There are scripts to find vehicles. Admin's aren't some super good guys who wouldn't stoop that low, remember.

Longer it takes, better it'll be. Besides, developing isn't easy.

Sniping is in game. Just like sniping is in reality. Logging out to avoid dying is an exploit. You can't log out in real life unless you let that sniper remove your face.

I'm inclined to agree, sadly.

I'd be very impressed if they came forward if what you're saying is true.

I'd suggest limiting the town liberated to a single town at a time else you may end up with some very resourceful groups removing spawns in all small cities via liberation.

I agree that something needs to change to encourage people to use their vehicles instead of hoarde them off map. I would definitely want off-map entity's positions to not be saved. That seems like the most obvious thing to stop vehicles being hidden in a place they can never be found. I'd probably increase fuel consumption (or lower fuel storage in each vehicle) as well so you have to make frequent trips to a gas station. It may also be a good idea to make vehicle wheels take slow periodic damage based on distance travelled whilst they're offroad or in a forest. Make the damage less if it's an off-road vehicle like the ATV or land rover.

I'm all for regular database wipes. As long as everything goes, including vehicles, tents etc. (Not sure if servers would need to do some form of reset to remove tents etc?)
