real meatshield

If you look at the steam stats of currently playing, dayz has never passed more than 10k online at one time (that I have ever seen.) personally I know several people who have bought it, installed it and never played it. They are the type of people who think, OMG big title for cheap! and grab it solely because of the hype. then I know a bunch more who also bought it over the hype, but actually *did* play for a little while, til the bugs, or clunky mechanics, or some other "broken" facet of the game made them put it down...but they still have intent to play as alpha progresses, albeit not daily. then there are some of us who have made this alpha our #1 game. sales are great, from their accountants POV, but really arent an indicator of just how many actually play the game.

anonymous troll post is full of butthurt.

And sounds really sweet when its well tuned.

My sig, son. Look at the link and banner in my sig. Bring friends.

Shit happens. Regear and hit a different server.

I kill bambis because i dont give a fuck what you people think, and i hope some of you have been victims of my wanton, asshole playstyle. in fact, i hope it really pissed you off that i took a giant shit on your parade by gunning you down for no reason at all. in fact, i hope you bring your kitted-out friends to come exact some justice on the asshole bambi killer- because im gonna try my damnedest to kill them too, and make them try the respawn run back to their gear, only to get popped again as they get back to their bodies.hell i may even waste a full mag on your dead body, just to make sure all your shit is ruined when you get back to it. in fact, i encourage you to come to my server with your holier-than-thou carebear attitudes, and attempt to bring some of that apocalyptic frontier justice to me and my crew. ill be the guy fully kitted in ttsko with a black beret, and you'll be able to be sure its me because i have a bucket hanging on my backpack i keep to collect all your tears that i use to water my unicorn tree.

No. This is NOT the mod.

Not to defend the guys in the firehouse, but more to shoot down the OP's 'OMGWTFHACKERS' post... My crew is known for camping various buildings in major areas, and when the hapless player enters and is subsequently dispatched, the guys will take their gear and make a big clusterfuck of a pile in the area. A pile of bait. Noob chum, if you will. It never fails to draw in the dumb ones, who end up as contributors to the pile. Thats what the mess of random loot resembles to me. The OP, being glitched into the room, however... THAT seems far more suspect.

Yeah clearly you are not among the enlightened who happen to know exactly where his "hacking" assailant was. Your no-clip script would be useless because it is somewhere accessible to anyone, at any time, without even trying. I found it accidentally, and it took no effort at all to find several youtube vids of people exploiting it. I really dont know how anyone who has played long enough to make a couple of trips around NEAF couldn't know about this glitch, and be extra aware when they go there. So yeah, OP is just whining, as are you.

Punctuation is key. If I recall, it was taught sometime back in around, oh, 2nd grade? You weren't hacked, you were glitched. NEAF I am sure. Go back to CoD until the game is out of alpha, please.

demo-friendly= similar in demographics to the median. essentially, that because x% of women play video games overall, that will not be the percentage in DayZ.

no, you STILL arent going to find a girlfriend in game.

Yeah, solnichny is where we usually hang, but may drift down to kamy if things are quiet. we are hosted by gameservers in chicago.

From a former 0311, I salute you. OHHRAH!

THIS is what the anti-kos crowd ought to be rallying behind. As someone who engages vigorously in kos, seeing that horde would make me rethink my plans. Not change my plans, mind you, but having that horde in the mix would definitely require some strategizing beyond camp and kill.

I will have to review the footage of my stream from last night, but I know I killed upwards of 15 people and wounded at least a half dozen in about 3 hours time in and around Kamyshovo. Only 2 were fully geared; the rest were in varying states of gearing, and several freshies were gunned down in the process. As a matter of fact, at least 3 of those freshies were killed as soon as they spawned. Not my fault they got the shitty roll on the respawn location dice. Dont get me wrong, I wasnt camping the spawns. We were in the midst of a large clan war, with well over a dozen between both sides, and it went for every bit of 3 hours. From the sunflower guy billboard to sniper rocks, and north past the barn up the hill to the warehouse on the docks...2 clans battling it out, everyone respawning and racing back to try to recover their gear. Bloodlust doesnt quite cover it, and I was the one on overwatch. I went into the battle thinking that over 100 mosin rounds would be more than enough, and ended up getting resupplied twice throughout the battle by teammates. The only reason I logged was because I saw the sky outside my window starting to lighten up and I knew I had to get to bed, lol. That, and the fact I am out of food and water and in need of serious resupply, not to mention a bunch of replacement gear for the shit that got ruined when I was shot.

So I havent played for a day and a half, been busy, but have been trying to stay in the loop with these forums, reddit, twitter... and have yet to hear of anything remotely involving this crap. So, my server was renamed without my consent, nor without notification, and certain elements of my MOTD were removed, again without my consent nor notification. Did I miss the memo, or was this snuck in without any notification? Kinda pissed off about this... crybabies bitching about server names usually whined about everything *BUT* servers with KOS in the name, so I fail to see why that would be grouped in with it- despite the fact a server name often had no direct relation on the actual server operation. Really pisses me off because I can no longer have my crew's tag in our server title without getting clever.

I don't feel like buying more domain names, or having to tell the crew that we have to change because some uptight crybabies forced a blanket judgement on us, just because of our clan tag. I want to know why they cant implement a whitelist. I want to know why there is no official announcement of this decision, despite gameservers own forum admin claiming that this was mandated by Bohemia. I want to know why he lied and said that there were emails sent, but wont even copy/paste the contents of the email for those of us who never got the alleged email. To me the whole situation smells of bullshit and butthurt.

Tried and denied. They said a whitelist is not possible.

Actually I did.

As a clan leader, I can tell you that we have NEVER done that. We are a merry band of KoSers, but we would never invite someone to our group with the sole intent of robiing and killing them. Thats cheap, and takes away from the KoS fun we like to have. Initially getting someone into the group is sometimes challenging, but its kind of a bit of honor amongst thieves, if you will, that once you join us in teamspeak, its just not cool to kill the person.

Go afk for a while. Someone will come by and kill you, or you will starve to death. Either way, you can respawn fresh. Don't jump out windows, this aint COD.

Thats sad, because being able to verbally communicate is a huge part in the game. Whether its in teamspeak or in direct comms in the game, most people expect it- even if its just to taunt your victim or defy your assailant. I suppose you could try to find a voice synth program that you could macro with specific things to say, or (the most likely to be effective) develop a playstyle that requires no verbalization at all- the classic lone wolf. Kill everyone you see, and keep to yourself. I wouldnt give up on the game just because you are mute, but I would expect to continue to be treated just as you were, should you find yourself interacting with other players. You might get lucky and run into someone willing to take the time and read what you have to type, but to be honest they will be the smallest minority of players. No offense, but I wouldn't wait for you to type out your pleas for mercy. I would shoot you and move on. Good luck!

My server was named [KoS] Kill on Sight Crew, Always Midday. Our website was spammed in the MOTD- kill-on-sight.net/forum. Our motto is No Negotiations - No Prisoners - No Remorse. Aside from the fact that what you posted is entirely inaccurate and false, where in my squad name, or server name, do I alludeto the fact that we kick for clan members, or allow no pvp, or infer that it is a private loot farm? Jesus H fucking Christ some of you people are entirely lacking in reading comprehension.

Gameservers says, via their forums, that this is in response to a request by BI. If that is the case, why has there been no announcement made, or an update to the server hosting guidelines been made? At the time I( rented the server, there was no stipulation on hostname conventions other than having regular/hardcore in the title as well as version number. To this day, there still isn't. If it is coming officially from Bohemia, then I would assume they would also accompany this mandate with an announcement. Otherwise, it feels like gameservers is blowing smoke up my ass.
