Not implying cheating but have you checked your VAC status on Steam. Could possibly be firewall blocking it. Is it a wireless connection and what is the ping showing on the servers you're trying to join?

I presume Kedde cared hence asking the question. You seem to have not read the thread but I can give you the highllights. We went back and forth then we came to an agreement he didn't combat log and a new phrase was coined by Stoutale that he fearlogged. We didn't lower the tone by making insults or accusing people of being kids, it's called a mature discussion in wait for it......... the new player discussion. Maybe you showed who the kid was by your reply. Third paragraph for the hell of it.

edit. Got the wrong end of the stick and jumped to a conclusion. Deleted to save face

As you said in your post that you ate and drank it is most prob a bug, I get it from time to time. go to options, click video and it resets.

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154048-bug-reports/ The bug you mentioned has been reported many times though. Is it a bug or just that your sights sits above yor gun and the convergence point is somewhat further than where you are positioned, not experienced myself so can only offer my guess.

I like this idea, maybe with tranquiliser darts. They got a little time to get the antidote otherwise they're knocked out. Jesus that things for real M99 Anzio 20mm model, as they strive for realism it couldnt throw you back 20 feet though,otherwise the shooter would also have to be flung 20 feet as well. Wouldn't matter if you're prone or not Newtons 3rd law wouldn't be bothered by your stance.

I dont regret it, paid £20 and had over 300 hours of game time. That's around about 0.06p an hour great value and if I walk away from it now still got my monies worth.

So my idea is if you initiate combat or you are shot then log out this is recorded somehow by the server. The amount of times you do this is then put out there for everyone to see. The top ten combat loggers are forced to wearing until they leave the top ten. This will not harm the occasional errors/accidents that happen from time to time but the ones that persist in such cowardly actions should be named and shamed.

Not sure on what times you get on but if it's the same time as me I can show you around.

At present neither deer stands or heli crash sites spawn anything. It's quite possible the places where already looted so try further inland. As you where near Kelm you should have travelled a little further north to Svetlojarsk. Good source for weapons are these houses Also have a look here http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus

I wasnt on about you man. To Stoutale, fair point well made. Fearlogging I like it, hopefully you wont mind if I start throwing that phrase around.

So if there team consisted of four people with the fourth outside trying to work out where his team was shot from or where the shooter had retreated to, would that in essence mean Kedde was still in combat albeit without him knowing. Maybe when your team members die you run in blindly but a minute to me seems reasonable enough time to scope out the building whilst also, as you mention, worrying about bandits that heard the gunfire has to be taken into consideration. So you waste your time and possible threat of death only to find the person logged to avoid combat. Ergo why my opinion is it is combat logging. I appreciate that your view is different, your entitled to it but I think you're just trying to bait an argument from me so shall so adieu. Anyways he takes the risk of logging back into a high traffic area.

Sorry thought i'd clearly explained it already, his sole intention for logging was to avoid combat. Also said that is just my opinion seems you have a different opinion, thats odd two different opinions on the same subject maybe I should change mine to better suit yours. Na cant do it so shall we leave it at I think it is and you think it's not. Anyways Kedde forgot to mention good going on taking them down and surviving the encounter.

Suppose it comes down to ones perspective, logging to avoid combat to me is combat logging. At least Kedde asked the question which was honourable enough and it must have crossed his mind if it was to pose such a question. I had a friend do it to me leaving me alone in Elecktra fire station, whilst bullets whizzed all around. Needless to say I died from an ambush outside some minutes afterwards but the joy of finding out when he logged onto another server he was hit with the your character didn't load message and he was back naked on the beach provided me with much amusement.

No problems I can handle criticism, it also 30 sec log timer and there is nothing to prevent them doing it over and over because there is very little in the way of consequences. Having the whole forum know just how cowardly you are is far more impacting than the slight possibility you may die from logging, regearing aint that big of a problem, hell it even gives me something to do. The costume was more of joke than anything else but now I come to think of it would be a good ingame indication as well, maybe not the lion but a big yellow raincoat would suffice. Good point Knock, sure a time limit could be imposed.

If you wished to get to safety then exit through a door and run for the hills. Sounds like in the heat of the moment you just made the wrong decision, when you are approaching a building looking for the best way to get in and done your scouting which takes time it's a real let down to find out they logged. Edit: sorry meant to make one response but somehow managed to make two separate posts

He asked an open question to the forum and I gave him my perspective as an answer, I did not abuse, criticise or call him out just an honest response. From the words he wrote his sole reason for logging was he feared combat (or read it as I feared losing my gear you choose) so regardless of the timing whether it be prior, during or after combat he logged for one reason only.

Yes you are.

I reckon this may have been translated incorrectly, should it be "My Friend, this topic....." but even with the incorrect translation it dont matter one bit whether the topic has been discussed. You said it made no sense I said it did. Never really joined forums in the many years I've played games, it's just that this game has so much potential thought I would get involved but after a while I've come to realise some people read a post then go off half-cocked and make something else out it. Going back to hiding in the background because I fail to understand the lack of comprehension and fear that I could be infected by stupidity.

Got trapped in the camo building at NWAF by two guys, 5 mins of smack talk from the dastardly duo ensued. When they final got the nerve to come in after me one shot the other and the survivor run like Forest. Couldn't chase him due to the tears rolling down my face.

Makes perfect sense, when you run through trees you are spammed with "you are getting wet" "you are not getting wet" "you are getting wet" " you are not getting wet"

Sure I read somewhere this is a feature but I cannot see the effect in game. I travel light usually with child backpack at most, a little food and just enough ammo (1 extra 40 clip and under 100 rounds). few med supplies. My mate is a hoarder so largest backpack stuffed to the brim with protector cases stuffed full. We both run at the same speed and can turn on the spot at same speed. Surely with him carrying more weight and such a large backpack should have an effect and these things. I understand it is my choice to equip as little as possible and I'm not asking to be super speedy compared to a weighted character but I should have more maneuverability and turn quicker surely.

I tend not to go up ladders/steep stairs at the minute but if I have to, just double tap shift and walk slowly. Not fallen through going slowly so far, fingers crossed. Less than a minute to read so your grammar did not pose a problem then again I havn't got the attention span of a gnat.

What times/timezone are you on. Can show you how to navigate, avoid being KoS, how to loot(not low pop server looting) or high risk looting.
