I haven't really asked but I would assume it's because we really enjoy the aspects of PvP.

My apologies for the delay. I don't check for updates as often as I normally do these days. Well, I can't speak from personal experience. But the host who is paying for the current server we play on (my real life friend) told me straight out that he, as well as other server owners will have these discussions with the devs about hacking trends and things that affect server stability and such. According to him, after speaking with devs, not a lot can be done in terms of stopping hackers outright for good or even long enough to make it logical for him to continue paying to keep the server up. Since then he killed the server in regards to DayZ and turned it into A.C.E. mod server. It's fun but it defeats the purpose on why I joined ARMA 2 which was for DayZ. I love the game and it just makes me sad to see/hear people leaving DayZ due to hackers. Don't get me wrong. I for one will not be leaving but then again, I'm not paying to play, i.e. paying to own/rent a server. When you put yourself into the shoes of the people that actually are paying, I guess it only makes sense for them to leave. :(

Nothing new or insightful to say. I recently lost my entire group of real life buddies who refuse to continue playing this game as well as hosting a server because so far, nothing can or will be done any time soon regarding hackers. Can we please please please address the hacker issue? If you run or have ran a DayZ server, you know what I'm talking about. -TY

I have actually recently started using DayZ Commander instead of SixLauncher and Steam and it's amazing. DayZ Commander not only works much better and faster but it's less of a resource hog than SixLauncher and it has a beautiful interface. Check it out: http://www.dayzcommander.com/

1st, how old are you? 2nd, have you heard of a thing called Google.com? 3rd, use your brain. If you don't have the answer/knowledge you're looking for uhh... do some research instead of lashing out like an idiot. -GL

Listen, I don't care what kind of games you play and if you think the games he or she plays or doesn't play is stupid, that's your business. If it bothers you, then ignore it. What is a bit irritating... is having someone make a clearly uneducated aggressive post even titled in unnecessary aggressive way that isn't a good start when you're asking the community for help. "FIRST IMPRESSION: THIS SUCKS." That's not going to get you some intelligent and detailed responses helping you overcome your hurdles with the game. I agree with a lot of ppl saying that the internet can be filled with a lot of hatred and that rings true for ALL forums. When I see those type of posts or responses the best thing to do is ignore them because trying to have a conversation with such a person is never going to end the way you want it to (CoD vs BF vs ......). The above though does not relate to this person who clearly came out guns blazing stinking of ignorance then wants to play the victim card trying to convince people he came here with good intentions and only wanted to share his so called educated opinion. Anyone with half a mind can read his original post and can make the clear assumption that he did zero homework before he purchased the game then wants to shit all over that which he doesn't understand when ANYONE can google how to insert anything here in DayZ and not only will you find articles but videos as well.... ^ That's more than enough evidence To Summarize: It's all about wording and conveying your feelings and opinions in a proper method. If people are just flaming you because that's the nature of the internet then so be it, ignore those people. If however, you try and lash out at a community for something that you have no knowledge of then expect backlash.

Look dude. You formed your post in the worst way possible that you cannot blame others for flaming you. Your entire post sums up the fact that you did absolutely zero research in the game before and even after playing it. I could fill an entire page in this thread posting different videos of tutorials on DayZ, how to play, how to survive, how to manage your inventory etc etc... Do some research and try again. I hope you were just in a low emotional rut when you posted this because I'd like to hope in this day and age with the technology at hand that you have a decent idea on how to search for answers instead of hating everything you don't understand.

M14, the FAL actually is a subpar weapon against players.

I've been playing games since 1988. I've owned almost every console that has ever existed (I was spoiled) and have a huge collection of PC games as well. This game has given me an experience that I have never before felt in any other game ever, period. It's a post apocalyptic world in which you live to survive and surviving is the game. The realism in this game is so amazing and intense that the immersion was instant for me. Yes you may die, in fact, I can guarantee that you will; However, dying will teach you life lessons in the game like no other. Every time I have died in this game I can pinpoint the reason as to why I died, what I did wrong, being too careless or aggressive etc etc.. The battles in the game are also like something I have never experienced before. I have played many FPS but unlike this game, in other FPS', you die and you just come right back, it's no big deal. You can run head into danger like some super hero, die and respawn and do it again, no biggie. In this game you actually fear for your life in battle because the death is permanent and the resulting effects and emotions are amazing. I highly recommend this game to anyone and everyone. Also note, that this game teaches you real life application. Almost everything done in this game can be related to real life skills. You will learn combat tactics, sneaky maneuvers, the importance of rationing supplies. You'll learn how to read a map properly, always being aware of your surroundings. You'll learn how to navigate through the world using the sun, shadows and the stars when you don't have a map and compass. I could go on and on, the point is.... Just play it ;p.

You can reduce the size to make it so tiny the information within is hardly visible but no, you cannot remove it entirely. However... quite often you will see it disappear, this happens when you start desyncing.

You didn't include a link to your stream...

For general supplies such as the one's you are looking for there is no better source than the Supermarket/Grocery stores in the game. They are risky to visit if you aren't that familiarized with the game and combat tactics but they have what you're looking for and more. Risk vs Reward :).

Your contributions are great, good job sir. I have a little thing to note here though. On your keymapping/control layout file, I found an error. If you hold shift while moving this is actually the key for moving slower to make less noise. Shift doesn't make you run, it makes you move in a slower/sneak mode.

Your dead corpse will only hand around for 15 minutes if I am recalling correctly. I hope you found it but the odds of spawning close enough to run there is going to be highly difficult. Hit up any and all deer stands you can and you will find a better weapon within 30 minutes, I promise you. -Good luck!
