Priceless

Word G-Unit, where can one acquire a donkey these days?

Avoid electro, cherno and ballots airstrips, when you spawn in head north to berenzino and riff. Avoid airfields and gear up in hidden military bases (utilize dayzdb.com map) If you stay north your survival time will increase by about 400%. Most players head to electro and the Bambi spawns when they are geared and bored. ALT is your best friend. Need a weapon? 3rd floor of office buildings. Most major city have at least one building of this type. Avoid fire stations, they are usually camped by snipers. Just some tips for ya.

Silly question what's the button to change fire modes on an m4?

When the initial combat log patch came out they bodies would disappear if they logged, it was a bug. they corrected it with a hot fix so now if you kill someone when they log the body sits there for ten minutes just like a normal kill.

When you are unconscious and click respawn what the game does is kill you. This results on the "you are dead" screen when you click respawn. As far as please wait this is typically a connection issues on your end or occasionally the server cannot contact the backend servers which results on LNG load times. I am sorry these minor issues cause the game to be unplayable to you but this is alpha and in time, all these issues will be addressed.

Assuming you were joining a regular server here is the issue: Occasionally (more often than I would like) server providers such as gameservers.com, vilayer.com, etch have issues communicating with the backend servers. these backend servers are basically the developers servers where your character data is stored and where the server you join pulls your toon information and loads it onto the server. As a server admin my only course of action when my server is having this issue is to report it and they will hot fix it or begin to work with the development team to correct the issue. During the last patch they had a significant issue with backend server communication which they addressed. This is why you have issues like this occasionally.

Damaging gear is incentive enough. Most people KOS because they are bored with the game or that is simply how they went to play it. I have no problem surviving in towns like electro and cherno, even balota airstrip with the amount of KOS'ers in the game. It really isn't hard to avoid death if you care that much. There are no rules in this game, but to avoid turning this into another KOS gripe thread lets stay on topic. When someone KOS's they typically don't care for the gear are damaging, a lot of people will try and kill to gear up as well resulting in useless gear. Once they implement base construction, hunting and more survival aspects into the game you'll see a decrease in KOS as people will have a lot more options to occupy their time rather than kill Bambi on the coast.

Server providers typically run on a "3 strike" type rule. For going against the terms t by the DayZ team the server will warn the individual, typically with a server shutdown for 24-48 hours. After a second and third report they will then shut down the server. The simple solution to this is to join a server that is defaulted or join one that doesn't say "join and insta-ban". There are plenty of servers put there which allow for solid gameplay. While I agree that we need private hives I dont think we will see them until beta or close to release. Keeping the hives restricted to third/first person allows the development team to get good feedback on patches, changes, etch.

Do what I do, make your rounds from Balota to Kamyshovo and help the innocent and kill the guilty, I have met a lot of people this way. I like ot call myself the "Guardian of bambi's" on my server.

Zombie ponies FTW

My definition of a "hero bandit" is a person who only kills to defend themselves or others and will only take from others what they need to survive but wont leave someone for dead. A bandit lacks that form of morale and a hero should never take what is not offered to them (and only if they need it).

I have found that people not wearing military fatigues tend to be good more often than not. I myself choose not to wear cammo and usually only carry a pistol to reduce my "threat level". As a hero it is hard to determine who legitimately needs help and who is waiting to shoot you in the back.

Dagnome here, I provide protective/aid services to players on my server. This cause is worth offering my military skills to, I will go to your TS and help where I can. Keep it up, us legitimate survivors must stick together.

"Use the search function blahblah blah" Depending on which provider your currently renting with the issue is the ability for their servers to contact the "Backend" (AKA DayZ servers) to load character information. This results in a fresh spawn every time a player joins or rejoins your server. Currently approx 2% of the servers are still afflicted with this issue and the providers are still working with the DayZ team to resolve it for good.

The kind of conversations I usually have in DayZ that draw attention from my girlfriend is when I say to someone "Lets take off our clothes and run around naked".

So he knew who you were, whats the big deal again? Even if it was some form of hack it obviously tells him who is who, not a HUGE game breaking hack. My guess is he found everyone else on the server and asked them the same question and you just happened to be last, simple process of elimination really.

All I need is my SKS. Mosin parts can be found pretty much anywhere, i've had the best luck in Radio towers on airstrips.

I have a great map, I call it DayZDB, works great with a dual monitor setup. ;p

As someone else suggested, the server name alone cannot be an accurate account for reporting. Usually I will go off what the MOTD says. If the MOTD (Which is typed by the server admin) has "No kill policys" or "Private server" rules I report them accordingly.

You can't compare DayZ Standalone to a movie. Unless you meant to compare it to "Infestation: Survivor stories" ya you must have meant THAT game, couldn't be the WarZ.

As far as the guy not dying it is more than likley a lag/server issue not so much a "Hack". As for the 58 rounds of 556 in a ammo box thats simple, take a double Stagg mag (60 rounds) and empty that mag and you'll have a set of 60 5.56 rounds. Admin's as of now have no powers to do anything other than kick people from their servers, we cannot "admin in" items.

You guys wish you could pull this look off.

No, only one person may be logged into Admin in-game at a time. It isn't a "noob question" you know how the saying goes: "The only dumb question is the one not asked"
