LaughingJack (DayZ)

Searched, found no similar issue, reported it. (Issue # 0009706) The bugtracker issue *may* come from not accepting cookies/other brower security options... Had to guess your OS config btw (win 7, 64 bit?)

Really? You got crooked burn you like hell in another thread an now you want to mess with me? No chance, I'm not in the mood for trolling right now. Go search johnny, crooked, DayZForumer or grimey rick to troll with you.

Ah damn, sry, sometimes I am blind. Want me to put it in for you? If yes, just leave here the description that you want me to post (if it should differ from the OP)) and I'll do it for ya...least thign I could do after that moronic-non-reader-answer from me ^^

Ahm. Yeah. So....what do you want us now to do? Zombie-one-hit is reported, the shoes issue...well...i don't know. Never heard or seen it....report it in the bugtracker (what is the "+bugtracker problem"?) please... Edit: And the glitchy ship of death (© BI) has found another victim... ;)

Sure it's my point of view. What should it be otherwise? A can of milk? *shrugs* And there is one vote (from a troll I think ;) that differs by now... Edit: I'm in charge of the bad jokes.

That gave me an awesome idea.... Instead of letting 2 freshspawn fight to their deaths, throw them a small backpack, a down jacket and a lot of stuff (both the same things) that will fit exactly into it (pro mode. With protective cases; ubermode: with ammoboxes where you have to make 60 rnd stacks) but require some fiddeling to match into... First one to get everything in is declared winner and can go with his new stuff, all others will be shot XD

That's a...well...useless poll, sry. KoS is a feature, combat logging is an exploit. Just look at it from an immersive point of view: You can shoot in such a situation always,but you can't magically disappear...

3 Questions: Empty server?Pants on or not?Anyone in cherno?

You are a monster.

True, but as I said "from what I've heard", didn't stated that it is that way^^ And I heard the same about russian servers, but...shhhhhh....don't bring KoS to this thread, he will destroy us :D And I can only speak from the german servers I was on, but normally there are a lot of nice people there (and a solid amount of chars that are played as psychos, killers, etc. like on every dayZ server in the whole world ;)). Just don't say that you are from the US. They will think you are a triggerhappy cowboy (aaaaah the prejudices again ;)) And as I said, I have been KoSd and PoSd a lot, no matter which country the server was from....and on the UK server I met 2 germans, one from latvia and one from france ;) Maybe...hm...canadian servers as friendly alternative? :) But my ping would suck there... Edit: NOooooooooooooooooooooooooo KoS is here....damn! XD Hopefully he doesn't see our posts....

Yay I can quote his Hickness: Read more here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/179198-from-hicks-206-reddit-on-development/

btw...when crawling at the feet off someone you should have the option "try to tuck legs" to throw him down...or even "bite in his calf" ;) I have never heard from the devs somethign in that direction (using trees as a source for firewood & splints)...or have I forgotten? Does anyone remember something like that being said? Why do people ask for specific guns in Q&A sessions but not for something like that?

No splints, sticks or morphine. That guy is screwed big time. But still set the (gone) flasdhlight to 1 on the quickbar instead of the axe, the gun or somethign else. And wtf does the headtorch in the backpack does there? Or the chest holster?

This needs to be pinned, printed out and glued above (or even ON) every monitor of people complaining about the nature of an alpha. Announcement sub of the forum, their Twitter accounts are official. And for major updates they make a devblog at tumblr (which is also official) or a video at twitch.tv (which is, you guessed it) also official. For reddit see the answer below. Rocket is a reddit guy. Was before the SA will always be I guess. And for the rest of the team: The Up/Downvote function of reddit. In this forum they would have to crawl through 150 bullshit KoS threads, complainthreads about charwipes/lost stuff or glitches and bugs that are known for weeks, trollthreads, discussions about how to wear pants and boots together, threads with heavy insults against them etc. etc. etc. to find something useful. If I were a dev on that team, I'd also NEVER ever go to this forum. That place is hell. On reddit? Useful threads get voted up by the users, so the team can see them fast and react to them. This forum is mainly for 3 things: User discussions"Announcement" subDevTracker Sub Edit: I can't type -.-

What do mean "becoming"? Inventory tetris is a major part of the game ;) And btw. thanks, now i got the freakin' tetris melody in my head all day -.- Edit: To add something useful: I hope the weight+volume based system that hicks spoke about is worked on and will come soon... Edit2: Oooooh didn't notice that. Beans for grimey! Edit3: That thread is becoming an instant classic.

Just out of curiosity: Which one do you mean? Except for the slow vault that IS a pain in the ass most of the times, in my opinion, there's no other animation that would fit your words..

Maybe there are still servers that are not connected properly to the main hive... If you land on such a server two things will happen 1) You get a freshspawn 2) everything you do with this char will not be saved in the main hive, which means if you play some time and join afterweards another server (that is connected to the main hive) you won't see that char again.

I have to add the DF equotation here. You can't "Win" dayZ. There is no victory screen, there is no "end", but you can lose it, That means: Every char you spawn is determined to die. hat means: DayZ = losing. But DayZ is also fun (sometimes even when you die ;)). (If not to you: Wrong game for you. Really.) So we can say: Losing= fun. And with that stated, how can you say that it's no fun to have fun

+ firewood. Totally on your side.

Well...Play hardcore. Most (not all) of the people there are either nice or at least try to bandit and not to KoS. You will die as well, but heck, it's fun. And...I hate to say that, but are you from the US? Because an US servers KoS, PoS etc. is worse from what I've heard than on european servers (I tend to UK servers. Brits are nice in this game ;) One said "Please don't shoot me, Sir. Thank you." when he bumped into me. I never told him, that I had not a single shell for my shotgun... ) Yes, I get attacked sometimes, I got KoSd, I got PoSd, I got handcuffed and robbed, stripped down to my underwear and shot in the head afterwards. I got handcuffed and given a 15 seconds timer to hide, If they don't find me in 2 minutes, they wouldn't kill me. (But they found me. And said "sorry, but that are the rules of the game" and shot me) I got stripped of everything and given a 10 second timer before they start hunt me. (and their sniper got me with a mosin shot, breaking my leg) I got caught and forced into a deadly fight with another freshspawn, I was travelling along with, ending up with him dropping the knife they gave him for the fight with me and saying "I can't do that. I know this guy for some minutes. He is nice. Shoot me, let him live." (they shot me as well afterwards, but heck, that guy...if I only knew his steam name...buddy from hungary, if you are out there, I'm the white chick that is a man (well my char at that time was a white girl...don't get confused^^), wearing rocket aviators because "Sun is brighter at night"...i think you remember that words^^) And everything that I wrote has happened to me and some other weird shit (like a guy in underpants, a tactical vest and a dallas mask holding a magnum to my head, blasting real bad techno through direct chat and yelled "DANCE! DANCE FOR ME!" and shoot next to my feet o.O), or also some very intensive shootouts (the factory north/west of the NWAF. Me and a buddy are there looting, carelessly, because no one EVER goes there....and it was a night server...and suddenly the shootout started, edning up with me and my buddy dead, but it was one of the most awesome PvP things I encountered in ALL games ever. Made my heart pump wild, my pulse goe up and my hands shake after it was over. There is only ONE thing that is important to remember when you play DayZ: IT IS NOT ABOUT GEARING UP, IT IS NOT ABOUT PVP. These are things that are IN the game and that are IMPORTANT for the game, but you play DayZ just to PLAY. Don't hop. Don't run only to high loot spots. Just play.

Damn, this thread is eating all my beans...but not because the OP got them ;) FU I even had to give pacific_coast beans.....whats going on? O.o @OP: I don't fall in any of these categories. What am I? WHAT KIND OF MONSTER AM I? I spawn, start playing, never kill myself and don't only run around in the woods (but maybe I will start when huinting is implemented ;)). Sometimes I even go to electro. With my pants on. I meet people, which try to kill me, I meet people with whom I trade, I meet people with whom I scavenge together, I meet people which I start to like and end up adding them to my friendslist on steam because we had an awesome time together... Like 2 days agon on exp: Char got wiped, spawned nord of Solnichnyi. Met two germans that were really nice (Shout out to Timo and Simon! ;) ) and a creepy dude with a black motorcycle helmet and an axe, but lost them somewhere. Went north to the factory, suddenly, attracted two Zs, had no weapon, so punch them down and run for it, suddenly I'm cornered between 3 Zs, but the creepy dude with the black motorcycle helmet comes again, hacking away the Zs. As I say "Thanks", he starts attacking me - I guess he wanted my backpack, because it was literally the only thing I had on my char. I ran heavily bleeing away and made him lose me, but my vision was blurry & black/white, so I took the risk and run into the next houses, inevitable got cornered in a house by Zeds and eaten alive, but I went down with an awesome fistfight with the infected^^ Spawned again, this time further south and thought, what the heck, I NEVER go to electro, why not try the noob route? Two guys were hunting me with SKS (I guess), even before I got there, but they missed all shots and lost me in the town. Minutes later I met a guy from Latvia, travelled with him around electro, had a lot of fun, avoiding other players and killing Zs with Pitchfork and Hoe - we named ourself the farming buddies and made it our mission to find crops and to till a field XD - and a french guy (Quote: "I am french" Answer: "Well, we all have our problems" ...made my buddy from Latvia unable to play for some minutes due to laughing, and the french guy also, by trying to speak french (that I learned in school and forgot nearly everything)) but went seperate ways since he didn't trust us really. But we met him later on again "oh, it's you again!" "well, hello, Mr French." "Are you friendly?" "Well..." char turns to one another, latvian buddy and I exchange a glance at each other, then laugh "Most of the time." Asked him for crops XD and he lead us to a pace where he found ammounition for my shotgun... Played time: 5 hours. Running through woods: 10 minutes, maybe 15 Fun in this time: 5 hours Spawned: 2 times Server hopped: 0 times PvP: 2 times (without any attack from me due the lack of weapons ;)) New friends: 2 New friends on steam: 1 Suicide:0 .................well............... Yeah. Tell people with 100+ hours that they are in their honeymoon period. Smart move ;) Wut? 1 Years, 10 months in the Mod and 2 months in the SA? because if you play for 2 years the SA you are...Dean Hall. Other possible answers: Open your eyes, it's hard to see when they are closed Try to turn on your monitor Set Gamma not to +/- 10000000000 etc. For real: Maybe the game is in its current state nothing for you. Maybe play something else and give it a try after some patches.

Did you have fun in this hours? If yes, they were well spent. If no, and you can only have fun with an outgeared char, wrong game for you. Gearing up is part of the game but not it's gaol. Oh my. See that? Now my pristine white leather shoes are damp. DAMP! Because of your tears! No, that part of you post doesn't deserve an normal answer. Possible solution for you if you get so annoyed when this happens: Wait until the game hits Beta. Chances are good that there will be less char wipes.

...if you really want to keep it as a sidearm for indoor missions? Can't think of another reason...well..."style"...but that's it^^

Well the DayZ team is not in charge for that, only the server hosters. And they want to make money...and shutting down servers of a paying customer (who will get no refunds) is a really good way to ensure, that this customer will go to another server hoster. On the other hand, they DayZ team has already stated, that, if too many complains come about a hoster that does not shut down servers when they violate the rules, the hoster will be left out for DayZ. So yeah, a "report" tool in the server browser list, that reports to the hoster AND the dayZ team will be necessary at least when DayZ hits Beta... Well, they have to pay again, and if they violate again, they will be cut off again and their money is gone again etc...IF the system would work Yep. This. A note WHY you were kicked would be very nice, at best with some automated info (screenshot?) of the latency etc. 4) Send it to the hoster(s) @DJPorter: Since this is a discussion about Servers that kick in general and not a complain against a specific one, you could only claim "wrong sub"...

Report the crap out of them, really. It is forbidden by the server rules. Look at that (rules and how to report) : http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/
