    An-2 Colt (Large Biplane)

    A small biplane would fit in just fine in DayZ. I support this.

    8300 blood, died from a SINGLE zombie hit.

    I believe the unconscious mechanic was intended for you to work with a teammate or a group of people. You have to remember that you took the chance to go solo with low blood and paid the price. However, I do agree that 9,000 blood is a little high to be one-shot KO'd. It should be lowered to around 6,000.

    HOW DO I STOP INFECTION? HELP ASAP

    Antibiotics. Gogogogogo. Just as an aside: I'm not a fan of PC Gamer. I once played with a group of employees from there and they were all aimbotting on a different game. It saddened me greatly. Anyway, it is interesting to see how a simple bug can steamroll your entire game.

    I'm not a server admin. You shouldn't link co-ordinates in your posts. Send it via PM to a server admin when they post here.
  5. You should really check evidence before you just randomly ban someone... He could be completely innocent for all you know. Imagine what would happen if I e-mailed Rocket saying you were doing something illegal with your DayZ server and he just believed it?

    10 Reasons To Avoid Cherno/Elektro!

    I think Cherno and Elektro are great places to be. The tension is amazing. You should try it at dawn or dusk when it's still a little dark. But yeah, if you're new: it's best to avoid those places as you will definitely get shot.

    Teleporting back to a previous position

    I've had this bug about twice in I think around 2 weeks of playing. It seems to be random and not related to latency. I can't remember the first occurence but the second one was at the apartments in the northern part of Berezino. I ran out into the field northwest and when I reached the treeline, I was teleported back into the very northwest apartment on the first floor.

    MERGED: Everything about DOGS

    I know there were dogs before Fallout, but Fallout was the first game that came to my mind that has a dog companion in a post-apocalyptic world. It's odd how everyone on the forums jumps into a negative stance.

    Be aware, I'm going to start banning.

    Bandits hunting survivors is for some reason morally wrong, but it doesn't break any rules. Exploiting a bug breaks a rule. One party gets hated, the other gets hated AND banned.

    Mother of all fixes (semi-permanent living)

    A great idea. I support this idea.

    MERGED: Everything about DOGS

    Someone's been playing Fallout! Would be a cool idea. Not sure how hard it would be to implement. Dogmeat ftw.

    Unlock new skins by staying alive longer

    I promote any and all ideas to attain new skins. Even if this one would turn you into a walking bullseye.

    Uh, did he just link the co-ordinates to his camp or am I seeing things? Ambush or troll. Lastly, don't get attached to your gear. Welcome to DayZ.
  14. ^^ i dont understand that too. but its verry common for online games' date=' especially racers and fps games. this social disability to have fun out of ruining the game for others is really kind of sick. ^^ especially if you go on a server to hunt ppl who have retreated there to play alone. [/quote'] DayZ isn't to be played alone. In fact playing alone ruins the game for everyone else when they decide to join other players due to no risk as they collect their loot.
  15. Abuse to find other players (Player probably shoots back) VS you not being able to kill him anyway because he logs. You not being able to log after a DC for 5minutes VS That guy logging in right next to you as you're looting. I know which I'd prefer.

    lost 3 bizon mags :(

    A member of my team lost 2 GPS's due to this bug. It seems to be when you place things into your backpack shortly before logging off. However if someone has evidence to the contrary, feel free to post. The more information we provide, the faster the bug is found and fixed.
  17. Don't be such a drama queen. That goes for everyone in the thread. Third-person isn't an exploit. The loot is the same everywhere. There is no massive gain in wealth due to using third-person. The only advantage it gives is the ability to see around you a bit more. Any ArmA vet will have already checked the places in first-person that a person using third-person would be keeping an eye on anyway.
  18. Alot of good points are touched in this thread. In my opinion, NVGs should be extremely rare. To the point of you'd be lucky to see a guy wearing them. Secondly, less military loot. More civilian loot. Military loot SHOULD be present and it SHOULD be 'end-game' or high-tier but you shouldn't see everyone running around with weapons with an M203 slung underneath. Saying that, alot of the weapons need 're-balancing' in terms of the PvE goal Rocket is aiming for. I mean I consider the G17 to be higher tier than a Revolver or M1911 (it's certainly rarer!) and yet it's considerably weaker than both of those. And no, the flashlight does not make up for the gun requiring 3-4 shots to put down a zombie in comparison to the 1 shot Revolver/M1911. EDIT: Typographicals EVERYWHERE.

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2

    It may be possible to add the Steel Bolt(s) to the loot table if it impacts the zed. I'm not sure how difficult that would be to implement on ArmA's engine.

    Family Mechanic[Serious Thread]

    I like the idea of rewarding co-operative gameplay, but I feel your idea doesn't fit into DayZ very well.

    No guns. Glitch?

    It's bad luck. Search barns for a primary like the Winchester, Double-Barrel Shotgun, Crossbow or Lee Enfield. Secondaries such as the Makarov, M1911 and Revolver can be found in any enterable house. Supermarkets share spawns of all three handguns I mentioned as well as Lee Enfields, Winchester and possibly even Crossbows. For higher grade weaponry such as assault rifles or SMGs, you're best off checking the wiki. Some spawn at military spawns whilst others are only from heli crashes. If you're close by the Balota area, there are some medical tents set up that provide good early-game weaponry if you're lucky (Remember to check the deer stands / watchtowers there too!).

    101 Servers violating slot requirement

    How many staff members? About 5 or so? How many servers? About 100? More? How many players? 10,000? More? How many bugs and exploits are in the game? Without people and testers 'policing', the DayZ staff are at a major disadvantage. Look how the British Police go about it. They have the special constables to help them out. However, I think any server created before the slot rule is exempt from the rule.

    DayZ/ARMA Causing Framerate issues.

    I'm not sure if you've tried but keep an eye on your CPU whilst you're playing ARMA 2 and then again whilst playing other games. I'm not sure what this will achieve, but if you're adamant it's not your GPU then it's possibly your CPU. I've noticed myself that ARMA 2 loves to stress out my CPU.

    Anyone know where Alice packs spawn?

    Berezino is a top place for anything residential or supermarket-worthy. Also, about the buggy backpacks: you have to clear the ground underneath them of items before you can interact with the pack itself.
  25. Orphen (DayZ)

    Babies! (Well, society)

    What the OP is suggesting is basically a reward for working co-operatively (Something most friendly people have been asking for in DayZ). The way he proposed his idea however was pretty silly considering the setting of DayZ. Read inbetween the lines and don't jump on the hate wagon, guys.
