but..but..but.. didnt they say december, april and june.. and now JUNE is gone ? oh man.. :|

I think many many guys dont really understand the KOS moaners.. its not about death. death happens and should happen in a survival game. bandits are ok as well.. I love enemies I love hunting the bad guys. I complain because fucking EVERYONE SHOOTS FIRST !!!! not the bandit.. its EVERYONE.. and this means there are no suprises, no betrayal, no communication in game, nothing.. because.. you know EVERYONE is going to shoot first. this means there are no bandits anymore either. did I explain this the right way ?

hi there! I started to play the mod when it was pretty new. I still experienced teamwork and helping each other.. then came a time when people started to KoS without any reason. Then the hacker came and the game died for me personally. As many said before, Day Z is special because it gives us a tension when we meet another player.. what will he do.. will he trade or attack ? When you can expect other players are attacking 99% of the time there is no point in playing Day Z. There are better shooters out there or you can play Arma 3 wasteland. Day Z is dead with this KoS aspect. Just leaving the CoD kids and hackers behind. Todays servers with 500 vehicles and guns show that. Thats not a game I want to play. BUT I just tried 1.7.7 and have 2 stories for you: 1. I was followed by Zs and was runnung into a building killing one after the other at the entrance.. as I was done I turned around and there was another player, he must have watched me for a while. He didnt attack.. we both saluted and went on doing our thing. I was suprised. 2. I met a guy in a barn.. the long hallway kind of barn. He came closer.. I backed off.. he came closer.. I backed off and stopped, decided to attack if he came into the range of my machete. I heard him cough and he asked if I had antibiotica. I just had 1, but for the sake of the old Day Z spirit I told him: Ok wanna trade ? .. he gave me soda and I gave him antibiotics. Not a good deal.. but the point is, he thanked me, telling me I saved his live.. and left. No attack,, no stabbing me in the back. Im sure he would have killed me if I wouldnt have been careful.. or if he would have a gun.. but in the end I thought this meeting was much cooler than a simple KoS meeting. I just hope standalone is able to revive the spirit of the old days. We need bandits sure.. but if everyone is a bandit its just a simple shooter. Nothing special about it. There are shooters out there with better graphics and better gameplay. I want the survival aspect and the interaction with other players.

hi guys! Im an old player who stopped playing a few months ago because of the increasing number of hackers ruining everyones fun in this mod. I just wanted to ask: Is the Hacker/cheater situation better or worse nowadays ? Is it worth it to play again ? greets

thanks for the quick answer, maybe I should just wait for the standalone.. hopefully there wont be any hacks :0(

Just a quick question to the nice guys here.. Im not playing that much anymore but yesterday I found 8 tents next to each other in a barn, tents were full of assault rifles and equipment. Hack or no hack ?

hm yeah.. the tents, clipping into each other, hidden in a barn doesnt seem to be legit. yeah sure I grabbed 2 rifles and ammo.. will destroy it then.

no 8 tents.. partially sticking into each other in the small barn, 1 entrance, wooden and closed back door.. and Marius.. they were INSIDE the building.

SAME HERE AS WELL! 2 hours of gameplay on 10th july wasnt saved. Where you were: Devils Castle What you were doing: Looting Devils Castle Current installed version: 1.7.2 Server(s) you were on: EU ? Timeline of events before/after error: I spawned and looted Devils Castle - tried putting on civ clothes, checked the area north and looted a heli crash site. I logged out and in again to test if my used mags would vanish and noticed I was all over Devils castle again, without the new looted stuff I managed to find

I dont have a problem with hardcore.. difficult is fine, it motivates me. What doesnt motivate me is when I die without having any chance to fight back or when I didnt make any mistakes. (There are the bugs.. ok, this is an alpha.) Stary Sobor.. Im prone, checking the hills for snipers.. I crawl around.. YOURE DEAD! NE Airfield.. Im watching the damn airfield for 10 minutes, no movement no zombie spawn. I move from one bush to another.. YOURE DEAD! NW airfield.. its night, again Im checking the sw bushes for snipers.. Im sitting in a bush myself in fucking DARKNESS.. YOURE DEAD! no idea if those were snipers or hacking snipers or guys with thermo googles and NV stuff.. playing like this is completely pointless, no fun at all and a waste of time. shootouts with assault rifles, pistols are fun.. REMOVE sniper rifles and NV thermo optics. till then Ill play something different.

I need about 30 minutes to get my standard equipment: akm, M1911, survival stuff.. thats no problem, the very best items I found in 4 fucking weeks are: 1 M24.. lost it 20mins laters didnt even shoot once 1 GPS.. had that 2 days 1 camo suit thats it.. nothing else, Aks or M16 variants are easy to find.. but Im talking about the thermo scope rifles, the NVGs, the 50 Cal, DMR, M24 and ghillie suit. I checked NW airfield about 10 times, NE airfield 5 times, balota 20 times, devils castle 10 times, berezino 10 times.. and nothing.. just crap.. and you are telling me to get good gear ? yeah.. send me a link where I can download your cheat !

can anyone ban that integ3r guy since hes one of those loot hoppers..

yeah well.. my last 3 deaths happened because of snipers. thats what they obviously do.. server hopping or duping till they have sniper rifles with nvg or thermal and then they camp. man.. this must be fun, sitting there for hours and hours till they can one shot a player.

its hard to say how many players have cheated to get their ultra rare stuff. but when I read other topics in this forum.. and think about how many NVGs and sniper rifles I found in 100h playtime Id say cheating.. (and I count server hopping for loot as cheat as well) is pretty popular.

when people stop playing the mod and you have your 6 servers.. do you really think Bohemia will pay Rocket to improve it ? Bohemia wants to create a product which can be sold in the long run.. no players - no day z. very easy. I didnt say anything about PvP.. I just said: Remove the sniper rifles and NVG /thermo crap. I know this will hurt the campers but will improve overall gameplay.. a 700 meters one shot kill without any risk for the sniper who doesnt even have to fear zombies ? thats not balanced.

thanks for the few tipps.. (I hope you guys win in the lottery) thanks for the many insults.. (I hope something bad will happen in your RL) p.s. no one said "Can I have your stuff ?" Im suprised.. :0/

see.. you wrote: "you are without military grade gear and are getting killed by people who have military grade gear" do you find the flaw in your logic ? I was there to obtain said military grade gear.. but guess what I cant get it. I played for 4 weeks.. I never found any of that magical gear, because I dont hack or server hop. my point is.. the mod or even a standalone version in the far future wont work because people will stop playing sooner or later. It will be a niche game with empty servers sooner or later when the hype is over.. it is necessary to change the weapon/equipment balance. just my opinion.

Thats a very good question man.. interesting. Id say it does matter who you are in real life. Those so called bandits who kill for "fun" do have some mental issues - or are very young, but they wouldnt believe me anyways - haha! I have a BA in communication science, soon it will be a MA. Im an audio technician for many years. I served 8 months in the army of my country. 1) I shoot when a weapon is pointed at me or when I cant avoid people. 2) I dont play in a team and I dont trust anyone since I personally believe humans are scum. 3) If someone is obviously suprised to see me and runs away I wont follow or kill them. 4) If someone talks I wont betray.. but I wont help I will leave. 5) Sniping others in an airfield goes against my personality. I dont have any fun ruining the fun of an unknown person.

just kill everyone you see.. dont talk just shoot those fucks!

I play like this: Rule 1. avoid people.. if I cant avoid them I kill them. Rule 3. never talk to people.. only talk when they talked first. Rule 4. if someone had the drop on me but didnt kill me I salute and leave. 3 friendly situations I had: -NW airfield.. barracks, Im inside and loot.. checking the door every 10 secs. Suddenly a guy stands at the outside and salutes. I salute as well.. retreat into a room, switch to full auto and wait. He enters.. weapon is lowered, he enters the room next to me.. I ran out and head into the woods. -Im at Stary Sobor, killing an aggroed Zed. "Who shot in Stary ?" I answer "Me" He said "Frienldy group of 2 here" I say "The miltents are yours.. I leave" -Castle ruins.. again I shoot an aggroed Zed. "Whos there ?" I answer "Me - killing a few additional Zeds." He says. "You friendly.. " I say "Yes.. if you are in tower, stay there I will leave now.." 3 hostile situations I had: -Castle ruins, I hear silenced shots - I am in the small room at the entrance, I cant flee so I point my weapon at the door and wait. If he enters I shoot if he doenst I leave. He entered. -Deer stand. I start killing Zeds and hide in a bush for a few minutes.. checking if another player is near. 5 mins later a guy comes running.. sneaks around and enters the deer stand. Shot him without warning, I guessed he was coming because of my gunshots. -I sneak in the darkness of NW airfield. Suddenly, 5 meters away I see a guy prone - pistol out, sniper rifle at his back. We both shot at the same time. My assault rifle beat his pistol.

I personally always had the opinion that humans are shit. A plague to the universe. This game proves that I am right. Guns or no guns when you spawn.. you will always be killed, in this game.. and in a real apocalypse as well.

Your Mom sure is proud of you :0)

no one will read this anymore.. but I personally liked the flying crows far above bandit heads much better.

hi! Ill make it quick: -) lag, player rubberbanding/teleporting is making PvP pointless. I have a ping of 30ms. (Saw a guy at the stairs in the castle tower. Fired a whole mag at him while I saw his walking animation but he didnt move. 5 seconds later I dropped dead/Waited for a guy to enter a building, saw him at the door - began to shoot, no obvious damage. Followed him, he teleported 10 meters, back to old postion, again 20 meters. I fired 3 mags AKM ammo in his general direction, till he finally dropped. this should be fixed) -) crossbow is a cool weapon but useless atm. Increase damage and range, add a better targeting device. make bolts stackable. -) add a compound bow to the game. -) new player skins having a low texture. pls high rez texture. -) player disconnecting to avoid death. when logging out, players should stay in the game for at least 3 minutes. -) add a warning in game. ATTENTION player logged in near to your position. and or - player logged out near to your position. -) handgrenades sometimes make no damage in buildings, dropped a grenade downstairs which should have wiped the whole room - no effect. -) closed a door, broke my bones - lost 8K blood. -) debug monitor resetted when wearing new skin - on the next day my actual debug monitor info was back. greets clown

people are getting better: Im at a 4 day char atm and this is my best run so far and Im NOT avoiding the PvP hotspots. Shot one guy in Devil Castle, a second one in NW airfield who disconnected and avoided 2 others at the airfield, cuz I was in a bad tactical situation. I like it that I started to make the decision when to NOT engange. But please, post some server statistics.. 32 minutes.. thats bad for your reputation Rocket, people will think this game is for softies now hrhr
