Stupid payday masks and anything else useless in the game right now (like the video suggests).

Get back to work! lol j/k. PBO's make up a core part of the games files don't they? So you may not "hack" that actual PBO but the files within and then re-compress the files back to the pbo and thus have a hacked game. So what files are getting hacked that allow hackers to work their crap and is their anything u can do to stop that? Also, I didn't know you Dev's read the forums so glad to hear it :)

A quick google search suggests you're incorrect?

In towns always stick close and cover each other. In the open spread out. When you get engaged be aggressive and call out what you're doing. If you have 300 rounds of ammo each, everyone fire off 100 rounds at the enemy location. You can't fire bullets if your dead and the more rounds you put on the target, the more chance of getting a kill (and remember bullets go through some things). I wouldn't worry too much about tactics or id'ing ur mates right away. You're learning right now so just go for it. Be aggressive, if ur mates shoot you or you shoot them you'll learn more so now you need to start making mistakes but the most important thing you'll learn doing this is exactly how each of you play and move and fight. This will allow you to make subconscious predictions about your mates, what they're likely to do, where they're likely to be. The more you practice the more you'll your brain will start to expand on what information it holds. Lot's of things happen so experience needs to be built. Once you have that you should naturally know where your mates are and you'll gel as a squad and move and fight as one. Also, don't be afraid to send one guy on a long ass loop to come around behind them. You can cover a lot of ground sprinting quickly. That being said coincidence is a big killer in Dayz. A mate and I were looting the NW airfield and had come from the ATC, heading north to the barracks. I went down the taxiway keeping to the outside of the construction site whilst he went through it. When I got to the other side I saw him run through the fence just ahead of me which I thought was quite weird since he route was longer. So he runs inside, turns around and shoots me dead. It wasn't my mate, just another player who just happened to have not noticed us and was literally running through at the same time as we were and would have been almost in exactly the right spot my mate would have been running out of the construction site lol.

I would love to see the argument on how you are able to see over a wall your stood behind and it not be an exploit. Let me try.... I'm behind the wall, or I'm outside a door. To look around the wall or look through the door I need to move my body. Since I am a person on game, I can look down at my body and see myself, I must conclude that this isn't really my real body since I spend most of it astral projecting and having an out of body experience. Since I am L337 at Astral Projection, it is not an exploit because it's my astral self that's doing it, not my actual body.

Operation Flashpoint was made on the back of VBS which was sold to the US marines as a virtual training program. From that we had Armed Assault after Codemasters decided to be a bunch of dicks. The 3rd person view was implemented to enable commanding of the AI troops under your command easier. As Dayz has no AI, we no longer need the 3rd person view. The clunky feeling of Arma is to simulate how things move in reality. This means that ur not a camera floating above the earth with zero gravity and can't spin 360 degrees in under half a second. Granted this makes for a less smooth experience and I personally don't think it works that well in game but I barely notice it anymore and it's improved since OFP days which would drive you up the wall at times.

So I convinced my mate to come to the top of Klen and both of us down an alcoholic tinkture each. Not the best idea I had but after we both puked, we're now about to pass out. I think we found some charcoal and ate that but haven't logged in for over a week and can't remember. Will that save us? Will we pass out and never wake up. Oh we're also having serious trouble walking in a straight line and we can't stop singing "what shall we do with the drunken sailor" at the top of our voices even though Svestapol and berezino are miles away. What's the fix for this it's not in the wiki anywhere??

hahaha!

In b4 "You need to contact battle eye at www.battleeye.com". So how did you get hacked?

You woke up today full of beans didn't you! :) An FOV key would be good so we didn't need to change it via a menu and could do it on the fly.

Nice one :) I think a game like this needs events like this. Something fairly rare and random to keep the players on their toes. When u have forever to play a game, you need a few things thrown in to keep things interesting. A dev team coming up with new things to throw in every few months would be good too. :)

I ate my crayons... *burp*

Or a mysterious fog that rolls in, meaning you have to get to high ground like a hill or a tall building or you die and turn into a zed. You would know the fog was coming because you'd see animals running passed you trying to get away from it.

I'll shoot anyone with those stupid masks just because I hate the masks,

Changing the FOV slider works for me and looks like every other FPS i've ever played. It's a sight, it zooms in, you can adjust that - what's the issue? edit: we need some pictures STAT! lol

Have you had the feeling of knowing exactly where you are but feeling entirely lost at the same time because they changed the way a hill looked or some other geographic feature?

I have the opposite view of the map. AFAIK, they brought in some guy who is an artist at map making and I think they've done a stunning job! From 3 valleys, to the burnt out village, to the farmlands of the north, the brick bridge by Vibor, Pobeba Dam (or whatever it's called), black lake, those little wooden bridges, the secret underground military base...... the list goes on and if anything,I wish the map was 4 times the size. I do think they could add more static things in like a creepy cabin in the woods or a campsite that survivors had made before running off or being eaten alive in their tents, their bones still in them. More story elements to the map like that a big yes but the map as it stands is brilliant - they did amazing work with it.

No it wouldn't. Gilgamesh is an epic, my post and a subsequent explanation would amount to trivial I think? ;)

This should be only in cases where it would be logical. For instance, backpacks spawning in shops should be pristine and empty, just like you'd find if you went into a shop today to buy a backpack (Devs take note - add in a camping shop model and make camping loot spawn there?). This needs to go into suggestions thread too.

They have a similar style in Red Orchestra I think and also, can they add in the animation of your hand cycling the bolt. Movement gives you away, even an arm moving but right now the bolt has your pet ghost doing it for you.

Yes! Whilst they will be worked on, it's debatable whether they thought to make two textures for them but yes, being able to recognise at a glance and also, being able to pin them to anything is a must. But move this to the suggestions thread :)

There was content, and a point being made. I can draw it in crayon if you like?

ADD THIS MOD NOW! Seriously this would do away with so many issues and make the game fair as long as it was done right.

It's weird as I have yet to encounter this aggro other people talk about. All my zed encounters involve me killing them with an axe and I'm clear. The most zeds I had on me was about 6 or 7, some of which respawned but when they do respawn, they're msotly facing away from me and I just walk behind them. Remember that just because they put in a stupid mechanic from your point of you, how do you know they're not testing how servers handle the extra load and are collecting data and making predictions based off those for the next update? It may be annoying but it's tough. We all agreed to play a game that might play out like this and nobody has any right to complain. Be thankful it's even being made - there's always Ripoff!!: The Sergey Titov Diaries ;)

As much as I love the inclusion of campsites, I wish they had made a new tent with not so shitty textures. I've always hated the Dayz tents and there's better ones in arma anyway!
