They need to fix some descriptions of jackets. the hunting jacket " be out for hours" yet you get soaked - maybe hunters don't go hunting when it rains? The quilted jacket I think says something like, "For all weather when ur hiking it'll protect you" except is doesn't lol

Just give us the ability to collect foliage and stick on our clothes. Rubber bands hold em good or elastic ties.

wEllies.... LOL ;)

So I'm up in the NW airfield with only my mate and 2 other random players on the server. I'm in a D-hut that literally has gear all over it. So I'm picking my way through, trying to find stuff for myself and my friend when I hear footsteps. So I patiently make my way to the door and I'm there for only a few seconds before he runs in. He wasn't expecting me and my M4 blasts the crap out of him. I check his body, everything is ruined (though I only hit him center mass). OK I got his M4 so now I have one for me, one for my friend. I feel sorry for the guy too - we've all been there and lost everything but when you're on top of each other that's the way things go down and the NW airfield is shoot on sight. So I go back to searching when a few minutes later, I hear more footsteps. I turn and see through the gap in the door a player and I shoot him down too. One of the players leave the server - I guess they had enough for the night This is the annoying part. I can't get out. the first players body is blocking the door and I can't jump over it so I'm trapped. Whatever - I'll grab a few more things and try harder in a sec. Only a few minutes after that, I hear more footsteps and I'm like, WTF? How did one of these players get up here so fast? So the 3rd fight ends in me dying - I made a rookie mistake but I was also on a 3rd person server which gave my attacker all the advantage and I still had the issue of trying to get out the hut - the player that left is back on the server again. What I thought was a hacker turned out to be a combat logger/server hopper. I guess I didn't kill him though I couldn't get out to check or take any gear. He must have server hopped, patched up and come back. I call that cheating myself but until BIS sort their server hopping shit out, it's going to happen. They also need to sort out stepping over bodies as this is just ridiculous. On a plus note, we left the noob 3rd person server behind and joined a first person only one so my death was a good thing :)

You know a willie is a penis right? So you're going to arrange dicks all over yourself in some kind of cocksuit? hehehe :P

This sounds so much sadder than it actually is :(

FFS this BIS! In a week I bet one person would have cleaned up a shit load of servers. given a month I bet the problem will be over. The person would be looking out for shitty admins or stupid names. However, I don't care how much money they have, they break the rules, they get a few warnings and then they are gone. Having the person here on the forums would be even better. It would incentivise the community to report shitty servers and when they get reported, this is who we send....

Maybe but I haven't had my PC or DayZ Crash at all. The days of windows crashing are pretty much gone - I can't remember the last time it even did and DayZ hasn't crashed in the last 15 hours I played. Also, you shouldn't get penalised if you crash and rejoin the same server - the time should only affect joining new servers. Maybe after the 2nd or 3rd hop in a certain time period (30 mins say), you respawn back on the coast with your 4th hop? Would that work better? Who's going to server hop if they just respawn back at the coast?

LOL I wouldn't be that mean. 15 minutes for the top tier jump I think is plenty enough but I think BIS are doing a dis-service to their customers with the way it is now. So if I stick to a server, which I mostly do, and I make my way from cherno to the NW airfield, stopping along the way to see the new stuff they put in and explore and I get to the NW airfield - will there be anything there for me and my friends to find? Will it have already been picked clean. Why is it I'm getting shat on by the game and why are people allowed to jump, jump, jump, jump and grab all the best gear? There should be no reason to be jumping to a new server every few minutes though now I've written this, I see a major floor in my 15 minute mark. It takes a lot longer than 15 minutes to loot the entire NW airfield.

This is why they need to implement a "drought" system which we've talked about before, Why. One where water and animals become scarce for myabe days or weeks at a time. That would really screw people over "What do you mean the water pump isn't working, that's the 3rd town in a row", "Maybe it's a bug?" LOL nope. They'd have to sort out the berry bushes and apple trees too otherwise people would just eat those and be fine. With a sudden shortage of food and water, people will be forced to seek out camps and either barter or fight for survival which sounds great in my book!

I spent 3 hours looking yesterday, any ideas?

Nobody needs a truck but as they're in the game, it's fun to give them a go. Another thing you should know is they respawn back to where you found them it seems - maybe after a server restart so even more annoying!

LOL no I was just messing around though Trucks are annoying as hell right now. As for snipers, I've never had an issue with them personally. Once the game nears release I'll need to remember how to move again but really, if you're stationary in a hotspot and in the open you deserve a bullet in the head. Any other place and they're easy to avoid.

A post pointing out a stupid post generally is. If you had bothered to read though, you may not have made the foolish error that you did.

The new rendering engine please!

I find a scope then go looking for trucks to take the wheels off which I then hide together in the woods. :P

Oh look, another idiotic post.

Having a different character on every server is never going to happen. The current mechanic is entirely useless and unfit for purpose. All that needs to do is increase the time for hopping. Each new server you join you wait 5 for the first one, 10 for the next one 15 for the next one. People have no issue waiting to play World of tanks/warships but the amount of crap server hopping causes is enough to warrant something being done about it.

Well you need to find a group of players you can be comfortable with. Girls get loads more shit than guys do and there was a recent study that was interesting. They found that in a game such a COD, the players who did worse in a round would often pick on any girls that were also playing but, they also found that the bottom players were nice to the top players, treating them like they were royalty. This indicates a rather pathetic trait unfortunately. Find a decent group of players and gaming becomes a lot more fun when you can talk to each other. I couldn't imagine playing DayZ without TeamSpeak :)

How on Earth does a server owner have the power to kill your character in the first place? Server hoppers deserve to die afaic but not in such a quick and painless way - make them suffer! LOL

OK you two with your dumb as ass posts - I'll play where the fuck I like and only an idiot would come out with something like "playing on low pop servers is like server hopping" Oh please. Having played the mod for 2 years and been in more fights than I can remember, I need a couple of noobs showing up telling me how I should play a game? LMFAO! And now we're supposing it's ok if it's the ONLY server I play on after I make a post calling for server hopping to be fixed??? Seriously??? Oh, the irony! ;)

It happens to me too. I can be the only other person on the server and I run passed him. My mate too. Trying to meet up he was leaving Electro and crossing along those walk-boards over the marsh when he sees the only other player on the server (except me) running on the boards towards him. They just run passed each other..... So after that I was talking to him and I asked him why he didn't stop and say hi. He said "I don't know!" Oddly, both of them just ran on by each other whereas at any other time you'd be wary of being attacked. DayZ is a weird game. Loot spawns just to troll you and people show up in places you'd never expect.

Never going to log out to avoid a problem though didn't know about 1 and 3 - it doesn't resolve the issues though. Player bodies shouldn't be impassable and something needs to be done about server hopping.

LOL you can cut up bodies???

Doesn't really matter how long it takes, does it? It could be a feature added at a later date perhaps though it would be cool and I'm pretty sure it's been done before. It's all about putting in the little touches that make a great game....legendary.
