I think it was a very unlucky random character reset :/... As far as I know there's nothin that kicks you for having duped gear yet , although that would be awesome .

It's funny you bring this up , as I usually whisper quietly into my mic when I know someone is close , they expect me to be far away because it sounds as if they can barely hear me , so they search the houses thinking my voice is being blocked out by walls... I'm really watching them from a bush next to the house he checks and it gives me ample time to run outta town (unless I feel like talking to them). But it would be nice to be able to control our voice levels somehow besides actually changing the level of our voice in real life , but I don't think it's high priority really .

Wasn't able to attend due to damn call outs at work, but hell next time I'll do security with the others Tatanko ( if you'll let me)... Because it seems that there was a PM train going around by some of the "baddies" from both these forums and musty gaming forums organizing a party to raid yours :/ ... So next time , you should organize a certain outfit for the party goers via PM (or a specific armband color) so that no one can infiltrate without being incredibly noticeable ! And maybe make it at a castle next time (as they are usually up on a high hill with plenty of vantages!)... I think a security team of 6-10 would do nicely next time(it seems like a lot but it still gives at least 30 other slots for party goers) , two of which having LRS mosins, they will be broken into two squads with revolving shifts (team A scouts east and north team B scouts south and west and then they switch every 20 minutes to make sure they haven't missed anything in between) and they should coordinate and train for a week together before the party so they can be an unstoppable security team ! Next Tatanko party = death for all intruders. The security team will be maxed out with gear , all party goers will drop their guns and ammo (exception is a derringer to protect themselves if something does get past the security team) at the designated "armory" so that we know no one is trying to pretend to be a party goer, after the security team has strip-searched everyone for guns they hand them a derringer or other small arms (bring your own ammo) and give them a special colored arm band (it will be chosen by you Tatanko or the security team the night of the party to prevent bandits from knowing days in advanced the "dress code") .. After the party goer recieves the arm band they can enter the party , it will be almost impossible to prevent people from team speaking their friends and telling them the dress code but hey at least it prevent randoms from dropping in and blending in with us ready to attack .. Also the security team should be clad with medical supplies ( I always play medic so I'll have blood bags, salines, the works) and two cargo V3s's , just in case we need to get party goers out of dodge and quick .. I think the security aspect is the biggest to worry about especially with the people that get together to destroy parties like this ... Also it's just my opinion but I encounter little to no hackers on 1PP servers , where as whenever I join a 3PP server I usually see one , so maybe there's a correlation there or maybe I just don't play enough 3PP and I've just been unlucky ... Regardless it's great to see you organizing more parties despite stupid people that want to ruin it , maybe another party should be set up for April fools day / Easter extravaganza ! Also to prevent chaos when some deuche starts shooting , have everyone who isn't security head inside the castle or nearest building, basically security teams will have to make a head count at the start of the party and they will need to coordinate through TS if there is anyone missing when the shooting starts that way we can at least know if whoever is left outside is an infiltrator or not , because if they try and run inside with the party goers the security will recognize and shoot , if they try to stay outdoors , after all party goers are accounted for the security team will search for the outside intruder , instructing everyone inside to pull their side arms out , at this point anyone who tries to comes inside will be shot on aight by the party goers , if the security deems outside safe enough then they will go to where the party goers are hiding and say the " safe word" meaning it's all good to come out ... This is just a safety protocol because when shit goes down it's almost impossible to identify people unless they are all in a safe room together wearing identical armbands !

1.) Is there really a ghost at green mountain? 2.) Is senchis first in-game body buried under that "triangle glitch" that was removed some time ago and replaced with a sign ? 3.) are there truly UFO's hundreds of kilometers outside of the map? 3a.) also is it true you will eventually cross over into Chernarus ++ if you walk far enough ? 4.) can you become the black bird still? 5.) kamenka triangle - the area where all submarine v3s' disappear on their journey to the kamenka island 6.) zluta cola , is it truly gone ? Or just in hiding !! 7.) is shrub rocketeer foreign (to the United States) ? 8.) is steak and potatoes' name foreshadowing the most common meal of the average survivor of chernarus when the advanced cooking system is in? 9.) the cow that can fight the undead - does he exist and how do you befriend him ? 10.) is dean halls likeness pictured in the skyrim moutain between elektro and Cherno? 11.) does anyone know that elektrozavodsk is spelt that way ? 12.) Is kichilron technically The Dayz devil(because he's always bringing down the hammer) ? If so does that make Eugen Harton Jesus (because he's saved our asses from rapture a number of times, and most likely has a set of shredded abs ) and dean hall subsequently God (because although he's always making us think of him we never get actual proof that he's real and/or listening to our prayers)? Where does that leave the rest of the devs/mods at the "Last Supper" in terms of their "forum personality" 13.) why is suzie crabgrass in the walking dead ? 14.) why is there not more myths to dayz lore? 15.) is Brian hicks from America ? If so does he speak czech , if not, does he ever feel awkward when the rest of the dev boys start slanging the czech? Thank you for considering my myths and long awaited questions, while some of them are unrelated some of these myths need to be addressed lol . Especially the real ones.

Can't wait til the hordes operate properly and without lag, this game will seriously be an amazing adventure when fighting humans OR zombies instead of how it is now where the zombies are just an annoyance !

This Is too accurate lol. Since the new iteration of the prison island basically everyone tries to go there at least once per life , so they eventually find themselves floating up to dichina military base ... I've had multiple fire fights there recently , and a truck chase lol !

Shaboom bitches !! This should be in a survival guide :) ... But yes it's very tough trying to figure out who you are in chernarus , at one point I said to myself "fuck it I'll just be a koser it's so much easier" .. Well I realized yes it is easier but it's not as much fun as being a hero (or a sophisticated bandit). The real fun in this game comes from interaction so like ColdAtrophy said, it all comes down to finding a middle ground, only kill when it really comes down to it and don't put yourself in stupid situations and always take cover ... It takes time to figure out proper approaches to all types of scenarios but don't be deterred if you keep getting killed just keep trying and try to make progress at being stealthier and better each life !

Please stop comparing this game to others lol , and fast travel ? What the hell are you talking about ? Oh and you do realize we can already get across the map in less than ten minutes in a v3s? And have you ever been out to any of the fields in the middle or outskirts or north of the map ? They all have huge flat areas that would be easy enough to land it, also if you had read my post I also suggested planes with water wings that could land safely on certain bodies of water , increasing the amount of areas you could land (most lakes are too small so basically you could land anywhere on or off the coast ).... And you have got to be kidding me implying it doesn't fit into the setting , in a rural farm area like this with plenty of big cities around there would be no reason why some of the bigger , more wealthy farmers wouldn't have airplanes to air dust their crops! It's much more realistic than a helicopter lol , and your random talk about GTA has no correlation to this game , you would have to work REALLY hard to get a plane up and running in dayz so stop with this "it only fits in mindless games that require no work" because you damn well know it's not going to be as easy as it is in other games , so Again stop comparing games because it does nothing positive for your argument ! Why not just get a truck you say ? Well because if you're a survivor like me you would realize people don't want to be on the ground all the time , sure a flying airplane is an easy target but that's a challenge some of us hardcore dayz fans want to take, and considering so many people want to make this game all about civilian gear , a civilian Cessna would make more sense than any other aircraft... So please don't compare this game to gta and don't think just because you think it's a bad idea that it is , because more than half of the dayz community has already voiced their opinion that they want planes and even choppers , and to be honest this game would be rather unrealistic and boring with just land vehicles and no air by the time 1.0 is released , maybe I'm biased because I've played the mod and loved the aircraft battles (which I think should be lessened in standalone , less aircraft battles but still the same amount of aircrafts) but I think everybody should know just how awesome aircraft survival is in a game like dayz.

We definitely need airplanes , helicopters I can see being overpowered but still we should have personal helicopters (with hardly any weight capacity , and they would be large gas consumers, also it would have NO weapons) and we definitely need to have airplanes(sorry for spamming that but people don't realize how well airplanes fit into standalone !!!). Both regular airplanes and those airplanes that land on water , they should be Loud as fuck and need a lot of room to land (and most likely be only 2-3 person seater) , this would balance out the "invincibility" aspect everyone assumes someone in an aircraft would have; they would have to be so stealthy whenever they wanted to land somewhere , and would more than often have to land on fields outside of airstrips because airstrips would be too dangerous based on zombies and pvp ... And since there is truly no "safe place" in chernarus , the ones flying the airplane or helicopter wouldn't ever be able to just fly away from the apocalypse to an island and be sAfe, as there are Zeds (or will be) everywhere . No gun ships please that's what makes people say no to the aircraft idea , and make sure that the aircraft are so old (1970's Cessnas everywhere !) that there is usually one mechanical issue every couple of times you go flying (I only say this so that upkeeping the aircraft will take up most of your time so you're not a flying pvp master). But we need aircraft , first of all think of how fun the mod was with aircraft , now take away the guns from the aircraft , then think of the movie day of the dead , or dawn of the dead , those heads had a plane and a helicopter but had to be very careful with them because as mentioned in dawn of the dead the chopper takes a certain skill to fly , takes up a ton of gas , and is easily spotted and heard by bandits... So ya dawn of the dead pretty much set up the balance that standalone needs to interpret for it's aerial vehicle balance lol ! Tl;Dr: Standalone needs aerial vehicles (mostly planes) but there needs to be a huge disadvantage to driving them that it almost makes it an impossibility unless you want to upkeep its constant problems and gas issues , not to mention the issues of stealth when landing.

Can't wait for .55 experimental :) please come today or tomorrow , I'm almost out of work today and have no work tomorrow ! ;)

I have great expectations for our fps when full release comes, and im sure beta will be solid just not 100% optimized ... Honestly the engine is already more reliable than the arma 2 mods, and certainly has less lag spikes (on certain dayz patches ) than it's mod predecessors , I remember playing dayz epidemic and having constant fps stutters because the engine was based off of scripts (like all arma/dayz mods) and dayz standalone engine isn't , that alone gives me high hopes .

Worth a visit for sure .. I recommend just getting to know the lay out of the area when you first go , there's an area with a prison barracks on one side and connected to that via a bridge is the actual prison itself ... Getting to know the inside of the prison , where the food spawns and where the highest chance for ak/mp5s is essential on full pop servers , everytime I go there it's a pvp fest so that's why I quickly learned the areas... Don't forget to loot the sniper tower it got very good lootzzzz (I've found 2 ak74s an mp5 and 2 clips for each gun on the top balcony of that tower alone) and there's two food rooms that are worth checking out for water or food if you don't have any ! Never waste time with the cells unless you need handcuffs or knives .

Hmmm lemme guess , the dead guy is you , you were attacked by many a Zeds , so you decided it was too much to handle .. You decide to log off in the ensuing pressure , when you log back in you notice you still have all your stuff and your dead clone is getting beat by that lawyer zombie bitch so you quickly take her out and take said screenshot ?

I'm down Tatanko ... Work and family will not stop me from attending this one, I'm all for playing my guitar over voice chat. Maybe someone will sing to my riffs :) .

I agree , unless you know there's an enemy base inside said city or town , you really should only check out the situation for a minute or two because like you said the longer you wait the better the chance that someone else is doing the same thing on the other side of the city , but quicker :0!

All sports when they get professional can get extreme; let's not allow some to cast insecurities on others -_-.(Rick lol) .. If you watch any sport unbiased you will see they all have their rough times , and it seems by a google search that over the past five years the top five most injury prone seem to be : boxing, football , soccer, rugby , hockey ... And apparently it seems in 2013/14 the most dangerous sport was biking (I'm not sure what kind Of biking and if it was professional or not, maybe mountain biking ?) . So it's all tough shit if you make it , hell I could think of a way to make berry picking extreme, so let's stop with "this is better that is better" lol!

I lie about my name all the time , just don't let them get close ... In real life there's no possible way you could integrate into a group unbeknownst to the group simply because we all have identifiable faces .. In the game unfortunately we do not have unique faces, so as long as it helps the devs gather info on hackers or what not id say keep it in the game for now .. But yes I agree I would eventually love to see this removed , also I would really love for the SCROLL WHEEL Options in general to be removed , I know it doesn't have much to do with this topic but I had to squeeze that in there , I hate the scroll wheel options menu !!! :0 !

I would love to see boats , both engine based and rowing boats !!!

This has been talked about a couple of times recently I want to say , people suggested all the usual stuff i think : verify integrity of game cache in steam , reinstall game, update graphics drivers, play with existing startup parameters, but I'm honestly not sure what fixes it to be honest ... Maybe try and switch over to experimental branch and see If it does the same thing there? Sorry mate I know it's been talked about but I don't know the fix for sure .

I think servers are having a tough time updating statuses such as "hungry" or "stuffed" as I had to eat like 4 cans of beans to no satisfaction, I then finally found out that a quick relog updated my statuses ... Weird .

Well there's the "remote" tab when you open the server browser that *sometimes* works , I would try that but unfortunately I have run into this problem once before and I couldn't find the server again .. But id try entering the IP and Port into the remote section of the server browser.

Sometimes the servers changes it's name or it's hive (switching from 1person perspective to 1/3rd person perspective) and sometimes unfortunately they stop getting paid for (if it's a user owned server) which it then removes itself from your favorites list. Unfortunately all you can do is keep searching for it everyday and make sure your ping filter is set to 0 or 99,999 so you can see the server just in case it has insanely high ping and was being filtered out because of that .

It's so we don't have elite snipzorZ all over the map like in dayz mod , the devs have talked about their stance on this and basically until a real stamina system is introduced (which is soon) they have removed the bipod for the moisin simply for the fact that there was absolutely no sway when you lie down and had a bipod making it unrealistically easy to snipe with a mid-low range rifle .

I can tell you that sometimes the zombies truly are invisible , mostly because of massive Desync .. I was once raiding the northern firestation of elektro , I turned to run out of the big fire doors and I received a hit from what sounded to be a melee .. confused I ran to the street , I recieved another two hits although there was no one around , and decided to attack the air over and over again ... When I stopped attacking the air a minute later, I quickly logged out and logged back in (I was no longer taking hits).. After the logging timer I logged in and saw a dead zombie body approximately next to where I was swinging blindly. Long story short I believe that on some instances the zombies are truly invisible because of massive Desync between client and server, and a relog is usually the best way to make them visible again (if running for a few hundred yards doesn't make them appear again try and relog quickly).

I actually don't mind this sound , when I get really baked and play I sometimes slap my neck when I hear the sound, out of reflex ... Then I just laugh at how I truly thought a mosquito was biting my neck whilst there's ten foot snowbanks outside irl ..
