I've done it in about 45 minutes. Don't recall if it was non stop. I may have stopped for water. My suggestion...just do it. Then you'll know for sure.

A small police force for large cities. Purpose, shoot at people with high kos for that server session. Killing a cop gives up your position each time you enter a new city and all police hunt you. Escaped prisoners for all areas of map. Purpose- kos everyone they see.

Understood.

Police force and bad guys to balance the effect of each. This would at least slice up low population servers. Police or military our any rag tag group of lawful survivors. Along with unlawful ones of course.

I see you have more slots available for more beans. Hear you go....

Best of luck to you.

Basic way to find yourself. Punch run South East until you hit a coast or major road. Find south east by movement of clouds if you don't have compass. Once you hit a major road, follow it south easterly until it brings you to a town with a sign. You should hit a road before you hit any cost but in case you are off map, follow coast east or south until you find civilization. Which ever way the coast seems to be oriented.

So last night one of my companions had a 45 that wouldn't fire. Pristine magazine and bullets. Nothing but click click click. I traded weapons with her to test myself and sure enough her 45 was defective. I was able to use the magazine and bullets in another 45 no problem. First time ever seeing this. Without a weapons condition indicator, it's very dangerous to enter into an armed conflict without test firing. I'm just wondering if it was defective at spawn? Can be rendered defective in game by something (like what)? Or was this some bug/glitch?

Absolutely testing the weapon is essential. I believe a said that in my OP.

It would fall short on so many levels. Like the control scheme mentioned above. Also, number of player will be reduced. BF4 supports 64 players max on pc. Same exact game on console? 20 players max. DayZ would suck with only 20 max unless there were a million zombies. Sure there are many other reasons too. Especially the mention of the game engine used.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure how this can really be fixed because there are definite reasons to be able to disconnect and log out immediately. Perhaps, logging out from within a large city, base our other large town will result in death (loss of goods). Implement a timed log out when other players are near (sit down, lay down to take a nap then close eyes). If outside a named location and away from other players, instant log out without death. The instant log out should always be an option but if in a named location or close to other players it will result in death causing a coastal respawn.. Just some ideas off the top of my head.

Last night in Elektro was intense. After several fire fights and survivors killed, 3 pals and myself hold up in a building across from the church. That's where you and your buddies come in. First you use pantless freaks to try and lure us out. Not gonna happen. We are hunkered down and ready for a fight out of here. Yes we are patient. We were discussing plans to carry their fight to the end until you did something stupid. You or one of your pals tried to ghost us and got killed immediately. This seemed to puss you both off because that's when the insults started. At that moment you lost all credibility with us.but we decided to stick it out even further. We wet considering ghosting you back but decided to see if we had another way out. One of us runs across the street to close the church doors. He does so and attempts to return when one of you guns him down. Then you verbally assault us about his loot. We are discussing what to do next. That's when you ghost into the church. I suppose you thought one of us hiding in there or something. I even let you leave the church unscathed. You continue your verbal abuse and antagonizing demeanor. When we stop responding you start calling out our positions and guns we are holding saying over and over how you can see us. We are on the 3rd floor, you are street level. How you knew all this I cannot say but at that point we wrote you guys off as hacking ghosting losers. The only thing we could do is cover ourselves against another ghost attempt and not respond to you which obviously pissed you off. Is a hail of gun fire you took out one of us. This is not the experience we wanted. We wanted fair clean fights to the death. Your cheating ways will not be satisfied with the test of our gear. We combat log out because that's all you deserved. I'm on the same server still. No longer in the heart of Elektro. I will work my way in about the same time as last night's ordeal. I hope to find you pantless again. Gonna shove a bullet up yer pooper.

Also try pressing "V" allot near where you glitched in.

.nope nope nope. I avoid ladders, rooves, stairs above 3 stories and large boulders. Kill me once.....I'll never do it again (game gkitch kills).

They ghosted twice. We killed one as he loaded in. The second ghost was across the street. The church wad empty when we closed the doors, then one guy comes out begging us not to shoot. It was a ploy. They had the window covered so as soon as he ran out, bullets came flying in the window. Perhaps his view gave him an advantage but him and his buddies were definitely ghosting us more than once. That's why we simply left.

The guy hacking already has 2 VAC bans on Steam. I don't hack and I try not to ghost or combat log. What I mean by try is this.... If you give me a legit fight I am all in win or lose. If you try to ghost me I will return the favor or more likely combat log out because at that point you no longer qualify for the prize of killing me and looting me. I can't wait until these types of things are no longer possible in game. I would never resort to 3rd party applications ever.

Last night, some night server. Running from Bolata to Cherno. Me (HbH_Sinphaltimus_Exmortus) and two clan members enjoying a romp in an empty server. Just us 3 and you. My mates run up ahead. I attempt to catch up and come under fire. Had to drop my M4 so I could punch run. I got away. Attempted to return for my m4. You opened fire again. I can't find you so I retreat to the power station before Chemo where my 2 buddies are waiting on the roof. You open fire on them. My buddy with an m4 spots you and opens fire. Poor accuracy overt long distance. Our sniper pal can't find you. I attempt to sneak out and flank you. You spot me and open fire. I'm hit twice but not dead. Unconscious. You hit one pal on the roof. She bandages herself up. My two buddies circle around and attempt to flank you. You seem to have moved. Still just us and you on the server. Can't find you. One comes and revives me with epi and saline. You open fire on the other. He sticks behind a tree to keep you busy. I'm revived, all 3 of us survive. You left the server. Dear Kaostick- that was great. I don't know who you are or if you'll ever see this. Thanks for a great fire fight. We all wished you'd have stayed to see it through. Maybe next time.

Only follow the white one.

Done. I guess my Steam Name displayed can be different from my actual Steam Name.

43. I play almost daily after work EST. Use teamspeak for coms. Steam ID: HbH_Sinphaltimus_Exmortus.

Haha. Every DayZ story should come with an animated clip. That was great. Lol !

I'd like to see spawning in the nearest city of a friend I am trying to join in with. Who cares if others kill themselves.

I often sneak around zombies when logging. They've saved my @55 a few times acting like an early warning system when other players approached. I think there is room to creatively use them for more. Forget training but crafting a pack nuke zombie with handcuffs, rope and teeth removing equipment sounds great. Even tying them to a pole nearby as you loot or eat or rest sounds like a good idea.

Try disabling antivirus. I've read a lot of posts about battleeye and antivirus together causing really bad performance issues.
