Urm not really wrong, but posting about it on the forums about the game that you are trying to spy on people in might not be the best tactic as perhaps one of them might read it and realize that they are compromised.

- That zombies are nothing once you get an axe - How shit the M4 is - Not knowing whether to pick something up cause it may or may not actually have a use yet (do vitamins do anything yet? etc) - How rare can openers are (every household in the civilized world has one, why are there hardly any in Chernarus?)

I dunno if it was a scripter. I was playing with a friend today and he went invisible - it might have been the same thing

Calling built-in options that everyone can change 'cheating' is ridiculous. Its like saying using a gun is cheating because they can kill me and its not fair cause I don't want to die. If PP was always on and people found a hack to remove it, then yes you could say its cheating. You might wish to say it's exploitable---which we can debate here. But to say it's cheating is stupid. I turned mine off cause I wanted the game to run smoother, until it runs smoothly with PP on then I shall keep it off.

Probably no where, unless its a low population server, or you got in just after restart. Head in land, I found two B95s in barns.

People who fall for the whole 'I'm friendly' canard are the worst thing in DayZ that's for sure.

Basically you get 100 points per zombie, and 1000 points per player that you kill. Once you earn enough points you can unlock new weapons such as rocket launchers and tanks. At the end of every level you get a boss, which is usually some mutated super zombie monster. If you beat all the bosses you unlock the golden sniper rifle which makes it a lot easier on hard mode. Of course none of this is in the game yet cause its still early access, but just you wait :)

That last image gives away the server for anyone interested :) *exits topic swiftly*

I wouldn't necessarily chalk this up to hacking. I have been attacked by invisible zombies since the recent patch... May have been a similar issue with a player.

I think the solution is really simple. You can't log out near another player

Berezino is where a lot of people spawn, give me a gun and I could kill loads of people there. Not really much worth bragging about.

I kinda think base building is a bit silly beyond a certain rudimentary level. I mean if you think about it, what are you more likely to do in a survival situation; waste a fuckload of time building a rickety wooden base from scratch, or use the valuable materials that you have to fortify an existing structure? I think fortification would be cool, but wooden structures built from scratch is stupid and makes no sense, I dunno why people value the concept so much.

Notice how much harder it is to see someone in woodland? Try to navigate in cover of trees as you will be a lot harder to see. This might mean going the long way around, rather than running in as the crow flies, but you'll be much less visible. If you have to cross any open places you need to bear in mind that movement stands out, and the faster it is the more it stands out. Therefore if you are not under fire, try moving slowly across open ground, maybe even go prone and crawl it. Spread out and use communication to keep track of each other. If you are really close to each other a sniper will have seen you both if they see one of you. You want it to be so that if the sniper sees one of you, there's a chance that the other is not seen. Look at the landscape and try to think where you'd be hiding if you were a sniper. There's probably more, but being aware of this kind of thing will help.

I like the idea of community based player-made events on DayZ Someone should organize a Chernarus charity marathon

The problem is if you say freeze, that person knows where you are and can complicate the situation by running away, shooting you etc. It's much less complicated for a bandit to take the shot when they have it in their sights. Don't get me wrong, it frustrates me a bit when I get killed on sight, but I can understand it. Also I think you'll find it doesn't happen all the time, I've had way more non-hostile encounters.

You just have to use the same procedure when logging out as you do when you have a wee in the woods in real life.

Grats to Dean and co. Rust can suck my left one. Not that I care which is a top seller, but it can still suck my salty ball. EDIT: I do have two testicles, but I only let people suck the right one on special occaisions

Urm try not going to the same places that EVERYONE else goes?? Seriously all you have to do is go inland a bit and you'll find whole towns that nobody has looted

I'd prefer the timer to allow you to observe what is happening prior to your char logging off, i.e. the abort button is unclickable for 30 seconds. That way you still have to wait still to log out, but if someone comes at you in that time you stand a chance of getting away.

Maybe set vsync to off?

I play on hardcore, but I really think DayZ could benefit from the stance adjust system that is in Arma 3, as it allows for much more fluid movement and effective cover etc.

30 - 50 fps is playable for DayZ :) I wouldn't invest in anything expensive for an fps boost if you don't really think you need it. I get about the same framerate, but I don't feel the need to get an SSD, I'd rather save the money for other games (or rent lol). Does the frame rate actually cause problems for your experience playing? If it doesn't then you're probably just being hung up on a number that doesn't actually mean anything for you.

A fucking massive beard is all the reward I could ever want or need.

When the game is finished, I'm sure modders will be able to bring in existing maps quite easily Altis etc.

Well you can't get a refund through Steam. You can try, but you won't be that successful. Take a look at their refunds policy EDIT: Also you didn't just ask for a refund you were complaining that an unfinished game was, well unfinished, which in my opinion is absurd.
