  1. The ideal situation would be something like that, but you have to remember that the Chernarus map wasn't constructed specifically for DayZ and there are places on the map that players of a certain type would definately prefer to spawn close to. It is difficult to create a balanced set of spawn points that are both interesting and survivable without giving away to much advantage to one player over another. While currently we are still in the situation where some spawns do indeed have more advantages to others, I'd hope that there may be some more tweaking of these positions to try and alleviate the worst of those. Ideally, a new map designed specifically for DayZ where all these considerations can be taken into account would be great. Probably not on the todo list for the next few months, though.
  2. There is already a Russian Cheat Sheet in the books list, and I think there is one on teaching yourself Russian, but I can't recall the name of it ATM.

    My gear is starting to haunt my game.

    Berezino is the new Chernogorsk/Elektrozavodsk. Just saying...
  4. Actually America is the most culturally homogeneous country in the world. Anyway, that is a side issue and has no bearing on the OP. The in-game map is labeled in English. The map at http://dayzdb.com/map is labled in both Russian and English. There are multiple lists of the translations available on the net that you could print out and reference at will. I don't see what the problem is.
  5. accelerated.de are only a regional provider. Those IP numbers need to be reported to Vilayer.com as they are the top tier server provider.

    In-Game Golfing

    I'm all for this AFTER they implement the offshore Charter Big-Game Fishing minigame. And I don't want any back chat from all you 'Golf is better than fishing' fanboys. FU.

    do loots spawn at gas stations?

    As Frosti and others have said, Gas Stations seem to be the goto place for map pieces now.
  8. No there doesn't. It takes only a short time to become conversant in the limited number of place names within DayZ. Ignorance about anything outside ones own narrow nationalistic viewpoint is no excuse for outright xenophobia.

    Pro Tip: Always check your six

    My comment made no reference to the other players gender. Simply pointing out the irony in the situation. Your comment followed by 'You are dead!'

    As a new player...

    Hardcore servers. These tend to frighten off the ' I can only beat you by cheating' type of players. The only difference is you're restricted to 1PP. As you're a 'veteran' player that shouldn't be that big of a deal, really. Just saying...

    connecting/spawning mechanism

    Yes I understood what you posted. Sorry, I can't link to search result pages so you'll have to go to the search dialog and type in 'Combat logger', or 'logout timer', or just 'Timer'. Start reading! You'll have to wade through the sea of whingey whiney posts to get to the discussions, but they're all in there. Take special note of the posts from the Devs.

    How apropo: 'That's what you get, bitch!' Just saying....

    connecting/spawning mechanism

    Bad luck with that one. All of your other ideas are open to exploitation. I won't detail them here as they have been discussed to death in other threads, except to reiterate that the Devs tried all of these methods and found them to be inadequate. TBH, they overly complicate the serverside processing without much real benefit to the ligitimate player except in those 1-in-a-thousand cases. Yes it is frustrating to see the 'You are dead!' after being so carefull, but this is DayZ, and especially ATM, life and gear are cheap.

    What to expect from the Ruger 10/22

    No. We know guns work. Since this is the Alpha, I'd really like to see the framework put in place and a few examples of hand thrown weapons i.e. grenades and smoke. Both military (v. rare) and especially improvised.

    Why you should watch my livestream

    Yeah... NO! I want my minute back, please.

    why does my character eat so much?

    Drink til you're 'hydrated'. Eat til you're 'energised'. Eat and drink until these indicators are bright green. Run around for hours with a nice full belly.

    Luck is as important as skill

    There are NO 'friendly' servers in DayZ, and no good deed should go unpunished EVER! You're lucky you got a second chance at the freshie. It's a good time to remind everyone, when you put someone down, ffs make sure they're going to stay down!

    Admin Abuse No service provider listed

    Do you have the IP? Can't help you if we don't at least have that!

    What Do You Think About The Long Spawning Time ?

    100% correct. It needs to be 2x~6x longer. 10~30 mins. Either that, or exponentially increasing: 5 mins, 15 mins, 45 mins, etc. EDITED: Forgot the Bold & Underline. Sorry.

    Guns are really weak now

    Here's the problem! If you have to ask, you need to stay home with the kids and old men! Just saying...
  21. Server restarts don't invoke the relog delay, only clientside events and being kicked by admins. I think that would be the tail end of the standard 30 s logoff timer. I've managed to catch that a few times on restarts as well.

    Do people still server hop?

    Not so fast! The only gun that ONLY spawns at the airfields is the M4. At least, I've never encountered it anywhere else except on a body. It's military, where would you expect it to spawn? Every other gun spawns throughout the map. SKS, Mosin, Shottys spawn in virtually any town or village bigger than a 2~3 buildings. Same with ammo; everywhere. TBH, as others have stated, Server Hopping is here to stay at least until we get Private Hive servers. Or it is squashed with an exponential relog timer, which I think would create too many side issues (as we saw with the whole GPU bug thing recently!). In the mean time, I'd be all for an increase in the login timer to 10 mins or so. 5 mins worked to a point, 10 mins may be enough to get rid of everyone except the hardcore SH crowd.

    Server List empty after refreshing 2-3 times

    It may seem dumb, but change the server ping in the filter to >500. Had to do this recently to get the servers to show. FWIW the pings of the displayed servers are all <200 but just don't show with the lower ping filter.

    Set Launch Options - No main screen background images

    Correct. -world=Empty does that. Makes no sense, IMHO, when there is only one map used in DayZ. Only used to speed up loading of the main menu, but you're still eventually going to spend that time loading the world eventually.
