You'll see them everywhere 'cause they're teleporting around... so many hackers on that server.

I dunno, I can snap shot a rifle up to about 20 meters and hit a small paint can hanging from a tree 9 times out of 10. It's not that hard to aim your gun at something, fire, and hit it within a certain range.

I've actually run into quite a few people in the north/west sides of the map in recent weeks.. a lot of fresh spawns around vybor especially. My buddies and I actually found the dead body of a guy who died to a zombie (gasp!) in a red house to the south of vybor.. Never seen anyone in that town before. This guy was carrying a bunch of M4 stuff, so it looked like he had just logged in after not playing for several months.

Sounds like that's probably the argument you see in a lot of threads. I play on both. I prefer Hardcore, but I play 3rd person a lot with my friends. 3rd person adds additional considerations that need to be made when entering and navigating a situation. It takes it's own skills. There ARE hardcore servers for you to play out there and nobody is stopping you from playing on them, so please let's avoid the 3rd person shaming that happens on these forums. It's ridiculous and stupid.

Just so you know, people who play on "babycore" servers, as you call them, often times also play on "hardcore" servers... And just so you know, people who play on "babycore" servers, some of them played the mod for a very long time and were quite good at it, and they play "babycore" because that's what the mod originally was... Also, just so you know, some people who play "babycore" servers were competitive counter-strike players that made money playing video games... on LAN no less.. Against some of the best FPS gamers in the world.. So please, instead of lazily insulting every player who plays on a specific kind of server, insinuating that you are somehow a "better" player for playing a different kind of server, maybe you should consider that it's just a matter of preference and actually doesn't say anything about someones skill level. Edit: In response to the topic at hand, 50m is probably a bit of an exaggeration. I think 50m may be the upper limit of what I would consider "possible" to shoot from the hip at.. Basically, any time someone ISN'T in CQC with me, I ADS. Though I have been known to shoot even Mosins from the hip, just to make quick "snap shots" down a corridor or around a tree..

I just see that as inherent advantages/disadvantages of hip fire vs ADS.. At 50+ meters, ADS is preferable, but you have to control your recoil more to see the person so your gun doesn't obstruct them.. At >50 meters, ADS gets way too much in the way and is far too slow, so hip firing is preferable..

Yes, Green Mountain is another one that you can't really snipe the top level from.. but as you mentioned, it only slightly complicates matters and doesn't make it "impossible".. The camping spots are all still similar and predictable. As far as 3rd person goes, it doesn't bother me... If I am in 1st person, I have the advantage of better accuracy and I can instantly get headshots the moment I see someone. If they are using 3rd person they are sacrificing their accuracy, and if they decide to pop around the corner at me we have 2 people trained on them.. If they get 1 of us they'd be extremely lucky. Also, I get all of this from having gone through the motions several times and knowing what the usual outcome is.. Honestly, once you start peeling the layers of the onion back and the defender realizes they'll soon be fucked since they're outnumbered, they often log out behind the stairs

Yeah.. I'd even be happy with starting at Sunrise, and ending at .. ohh.. about midnight? That way you get mostly day, some dusk, some dawn, and a little bit of night.

The ease of controlling your recoil and aim is completely dependent upon your mouse sensitivity... Unless I'm not understanding what you're talking about here..

Yeah, it all seems pretty obvious to me... CQC - Hip firing is just fine.. Anything outside of 100 meters, and you should probably ADS.. You should probably ADS as close as 50m out, for that matter.

Yeah.. I wouldn't mind longer day/night cycle, but my idea is that I would like to start a play session and be able to experience an entire day in 1 session.

Prepare for me to blow your fucking minds... The Jail is a deathtrap for campers, and is easily breached by a group of 3, and capable of being breached by 1 or 2 skilled players. It's very simple, and I will now demonstrate in a step by step manner when considering grenades and not having grenades. Anyone who rushes a single camper is a fool.. Step 1: Player 1 sets up in a sniper position capable of viewing the upstairs corridor so he can see the top of the stairs. Step 2: Player 2 sets up in a position where he can peek the Jail cell window Step 3: Player 3 runs in the FOV of the jail cell into to behind cover, hopefully baiting out anyone who's camping there using 3rd person view Step 4: The Top rooms, and the Jail cell are now cleared. Players 2 and 3 move into positions to view the back hallway of the first floor by looking through the cell door.. If there's anyone standing at the back you can see a SLIVER of them, and potentially kill them if they are not behind cover. Step 5: Player 2 sets up on the left side of the CLOSED front doors, backs up until he can see where the corner of the wall adjacent to the Cell connects to the ceiling. Many people camp on this corner to shoot anyone who opens the door.. Line up your shot at approximately head level, and spam bullets through the door to that corner, then reload. Step 6: Player 3 lays prone and crawls up to the door, opening it to give Player 2 a view of the back of the hallway.. Player 2 keeps his crosshair trained on the corner. Step 7: Player 3 stands up, sticks to the right wall, and keeps his crosshair trained on the corner at the base of the stairs... At this point, if you have grenades, you safely and easily finish this encounter by throwing a grenade around the corner and walking away... If not, proceed to step 8 (AKA - The tricky part) Currently, the Jail Cell, the top floor, and the entryway are all cleared.. There are only 2 places anyone could be hiding 1. Behind the stairs 2. On the stairs themselves. Step 8: Player 2 moves up slowly, keeping his crosshair trained on the corner, and sticking to the left wall.. Step 9: Player 3 stays in position, as near to the corner as possible without exposing himself, but out of the LOF of his teammate Step 10: Player 2 peeks around the corner and checks the staircase.. If he starts firing, Player 3 pops around the corner from a crouched position and fires up the stairs.. Step 11: If the Stairs are cleared, only behind the stairs remains.. Player 2 continues slowly walking and peeking to the left until he spots the defender, and if Player 2 gets dropped, player 3 comes around the corner to finish the defender off knowing exactly where he was shooting from. Killing campers is all about anticipating where they will be.. Being an attacker requires patience and slow, methodical movement.. you must be vigilant to clear EVERY possible nook and cranny that someone could be hiding.. In this case, you know there are only 2 places the person could be hiding, and you have 3 people to work with.. If you reduce your numbers and increase theirs it becomes increasingly more difficult to clear the building, but it can still be done with some skill.

Thanks for the info.. Misunderstanding on my part.

Yeah man, with that attitude and some time you'll do fine.. And yes, I'm aware of chopping down a tree and making a splint. I just figured my friends either had a splint or a morphine on them, and they did, I just cut it off before I got medical attention. :)

Yeah, I totally understand where you're coming from, just thought it was worth mentioning. I think a lot of people start doing youtube videos thinking they're going to be an instant hit and then when they get 20 views on their first 10 videos or so they get tired of putting the work in and give up..They don't realize that a lot of the guys who are "big" made it big by putting in a lot of work and have some of the following things going for them, either they have other games they've played where they got views/subs, or they stream every day or several times a week so their subs/followers on twitch will sub them on youtube, or they have a team of people supporting them by making graphics, animations, thumbnails, splash screens, and other cool stuff for them. I'd also recommend using Reddit, DayZ forums, and DayzTV to your advantage, but don't stop there. Post your videos on Steam and be sure to make them public. If you meet people in-game and have a friendly encounter, give them your youtube channel. Little things. Every subscriber counts, especially if you're making good quality videos. I'm still working on the science of properly naming/advertising videos so that people will want to watch them. Also, don't pigeon-hole yourself into 1 type of video. Don't misunderstand what I put in my last post ... Definitely learn from other youtubers and watch what they're doing right and what they're doing wrong... But don't live and die by their example. A lot of what will make you big fast is doing something that others simply aren't doing. Look at Merino's video on the Health/Blood Food/Drink system. He only made 9 videos, but they are all very well done and informative. He has between 15k - 100k views on each video. He got >6000 subscribers in the short time he was making videos, and with 332000 views, he probably made about 300 USD.. He hasn't been active in 5 months.. Imagine where he would be if he had stayed active for the last 5 months? The reason he got so big so fast is because he was providing information (and GOOD information) that nobody else knew/had, and he was providing it in a simple/clean format .. Everybody could use it.. It wasn't controversial.. It wasn't a matter of "opinion" or "taste".. Some people like my videos, some people don't.. but everyone liked Merinos videos because they were good information for everyone and you learn something from them. I'm not saying make tutorials, although that wouldn't be a bad idea.. I'm just saying that to get subs you're gonna have to give people something they can't find elsewhere. If subs aren't your goal and you just want to make videos for your own enjoyment I recommend just making them as good of quality as possible and doing whatever you enjoy, keep it simple and clean.

A few tips from a fellow youtuber 1. Don't do what others are doing, do what you want to do, what you will enjoy, and what you think you are good at. 2. Most people will say they want 1 thing when in reality they don't know what they want and you will build a subscriber base off of people who enjoy YOU regardless of what you're doing. I've released 3-4 videos of nothing but player interactions and helping people. They were among my lowest view count videos. Even though people will bitch and moan about you KOSing someone and argue with you insisting youre a bandit and the scum of the earth the reality is those videos get decent viewa. Highest view count = me accidentally shooting 2 of my friends, a test, a guide, and a test. Middle ground views = typical action and squad play stuff. 3. Production quality goes a long way but don't overdo it. Make sure your mic sounds good and your video is high quality and don't over OR under edit the videos. You want the viewer to be engaged and informed without getting bored. And finally - be patient. Don't expect yourself to become an overnight sensation. Editing is a lot of work with very very little reward initially.

If you need more than 60 ammo to kill anyone or anything in this game then you're doing it wrong. /thread Glad it's being cleaned up.. Let's hope they run a BE/VAC ban wave the same time.

The results may surprise you... ...We used a Mosin in testing because it's the highest caliber and should have the most penetration.

Adding a bunch of civilian weapons just means people will seek out and kill others for the best civilian weapon... I think, currently, there's a pretty good balance of civilian vs military. We don't currently have any LMG's, no DMR's, and no full fledged sniper rifles. Hence, those are the 3 things I'd like to see.. Keep adding civilian weapons, but don't NOT add military weapons. For LMG -> I like the Saw.. Fires 5.56, 200 rounds, fast ROF, decent accuracy, capable of mounting a bipod and RDS.. For DMR -> M14 as I stated above. For sniper rifle -> The Dragunov is on it's way.. can't wait.

This isn't true at all.. It happens to everyone and it's just a bug with certain clothing items not refreshing. It can even happen on your person with certain containers like Medikits. As stated above: Attempt to put an item in it.. Attempt to pick it up and put it back down.. if neither of those work, try relogging.. Also happens with weapon attachments.

M14 with the following attachments available: Red Dot Sight Long Range/Sniper Scope Bipod Compensator Muzzle flash Suppressor Variety of buttstocks Variety of handguards Paint camo/black/green Grass camo

That's basically what I have been saying... The storm is coming, and BI better baton down the hatches and start doing something about it, or the community will be overwhelmed. Right now, the hacking is rampant.. and it's escalating. It's getting worse, not better. Karma, as much as I'd love to believe that everything will be okay in the end, I just don't share your enthusiasm.. I am a very patient and rational person, but I can only tolerate so much of someone cheating to ruin my enjoyment of a game. I've already put up (and continue to put up with) buggy game-play.. I can handle that. I can handle the dupers and wall glitchers.. I can handle the character resets and the crashes.. I can handle that stuff because it's EXPECTED in the Alpha... I expected cheaters, too.. but I also expected BI/BE/VAC to keep the cheating to a minimum by doing regular ban waves and by keeping their Anti-hack software up to date to detect and punish the latest cheats. The source code being stolen was a set back.. I understand this. Whether what you say is true or not, Karma, it does not change the reality - Players will get fed up with dealing with hackers and they will either resort to hacking themselves, quit the game, or be miserable for months on end.. And keep in mind, MOST players in this game are NOT hardcore fans who post on these forums or play 2-5 hours every day. MOST people log in for 20 minutes, maybe an hour or two.. maybe a few days a week.. They don't check the forums, they don't make youtube videos, they don't post bug reports.. All they see is people doing things they cannot, and they will get frustrated, say to themselves "this is bullshit", and they will close the game and many of them may never open it back up again because the game will forever be remembered as a "bad experience". The more rampant hacking is, the more often that scenario happens, the more fans/players this community loses.. If I, as a hardcore fan and long-time player of this game am getting fed up, frustrated, and impatient with the current status of the game, then the average casual player is already LONG gone... This is why this issue is so critical, and while I do not expect cheating to be 100% "solved" in the next month, or two, or 6, or 12.. I expect BI, BE, and VAC to take the necessary steps required to ensure that this game does not become a cesspool of hackers, dupers, and glitchers - Which is currently what it is.

When you say "Feedback tracker" are you referring to the BUG tracker?

BE is not run by Bohemia... It's a completely separate entity. Furthermore, as far as I understand, BE only checks scripts/pbo's, etc. It does not protect vs all hacks. VAC is not run by Bohemia, and it protects vs other hacks.. I'm sure there is probably some crossover between BE and VAC in what they protect. Neither have anything to do with Bohemia's development cycle. Hacks are third party programs.. they do not care where DayZ SA is in the development cycle and neither does BE/VAC.

I was directed to this thread by you.. Now you're telling me to go to the feedback tracker? Once I get to the feedback tracker, will I be told to go complain to battleye? Edit: Sorry, I was told to come here by boneboys.. My bad.
