Yeah, I saw this coming when they instigated that to protect twitchers from the big, mean stream snipers. :rolleyes: Protecting a tiny portion of the player base from another tiny portion of the player base, who hadn't violated the ToS anyway is not worth making it impossible to identify and report abuse.

His parents said no? Then he's too young to play DayZ and chances are, so are you. Respect his parents wishes & respect the wishes of the DayZ community, who don't want to act as childcare: Go play something else.

Don't be silly, everyone knows you run faster with a knife. edit: someone beat me to it.

Drag some 45acp ammo into the weapon and select chamber round, that will let you load a single round of ammo, which is the best you can do till you find a magazine. Piano houses, Office building, hospital, Police station and building site are my main targets in berezino when gearing up in that town, I normally then head north and hit the train station on the way to the shipwreck. Edit: Drag the magazine onto the gun and select attach magazine.. Note, you can't attach a ruined magazine to a firearm.

tactical vests got removed. UK assault vests didn't. If he and his friends are all using tac.vests Alot of clan players and twitchers/youtube streamers are of questionable moral character and see duping gear as fair game, not saying that's what happened but 3 players all using an item that was removed from the game some time ago, and wasn't that common in the first place makes me a tad suspicious.

My system is pretty meh, midrange graphics card bolted onto a 5 year old 955BE build and the only setting that really effects my framerates is object detail. This game is really strange like that.

Why not? I find love killing them while they're airfield farming and watching the rage and if I can help get a teenager with admin to lose their server hosting, then all the better.

Absolutely not. Would only add to the deathmatch mentality we're struggling with.

This thread confuses the hell out of me, looks like a guy arguing with himself. That said, It's against the ToS already.. but more could be done to combat it, I'd like to see a unified and simple method for reporting server and admin abuse. If it's our responsibility as players to police the community by reporting violations, the least the development team can do is give us the tools to do the job effectively.

Avoid them, the chances of winning are slim, they have all the advantages.

I don't know, I'd imagine all the wildlife in Chernarus would be pretty fearful of being eaten alive by a hoard of hungry Zeds and since Zeds are just infected humans, I'd imagine anything with a pulse would be just as fearful of us as they are of the hoards.

True, but that's just working around the problem by abusing the FoV, it's not a proper solution. I agree with the OP on this one, however he might have better luck posting this in the suggestion board.

Totally agree. Admin abuse, hacking and glitching are the 3 biggest problems with dayZ right now and giving us an easy, function and unified way to report a server quickly and the with minimum of fuss would help combat at least one of these. You have my beans sir.

I'm not sure I can say what I want to say here without getting a ban. :D But rest assured, it was extremely amusing. Also; wrong board OP, this belongs in media.

Topic header says it all really, but what's the point of placing .22 (or any civilian weapon, for that matter) magazines inside military bases? Nobody is going to run all the way to Balota or NE/NW airfields just to find a 10 round sportster magazine and there'd be no reason for a military barracks to contain one in the first place. The current spawn locations mean that not only are these weapons going unused, but also are forcing players using civilian equipment to venture into military locations to make their civilian weapons useful, defeating the purpose of having civilian caliber weapons in the first place. It would make more sense to spawn the magazines for these weapons in civilian and industrial loot pools, so you'd have a low chance of finding one in houses and barns, places like that.

I like it when they shoot at you, miss then get wounded by your return fire and start crying about being friendly.

They need to give us a proper, unified method for reporting admin abuse, hacking and glitching honestly.

You glitched through a wall and fell to your death. Happens to me all the damn time.

I let on live once, and he followed me to the next town over; I didn't let him live a second time. They're pretty much always CoD kiddies who think this is a great new deathmatch game. I don't even feel bad about shooting them anymore, normally if I'm forced to put someone down I feel that little twang of guilt, that maybe I could have done it another way.. but not with payday masked players.

I use an FNX45 or CZ75 when breaching if I'm playing with a Mosin Nagant setup. If I'm using an SKS or on the very rare occasions I use an M4, I tend to have either a 357 magnum revolver as a backup, due to its high per shot damage and not requiring magazines or an Amphibia S for the utility of having a suppressed weapon. If you try and storm a building with a Mosin, you'll quickly find out just how limited bolt action rifles are in close combat, so yes.. depending on what weapon you use, there are several good reasons to carry a pistol or revolver.

It's great for slaughtering freshly spawned players with assault weaponry. Assuming you're the type of player who feels the need to compensate for the micropenis in their trousers, that is. :rolleyes:

I doubt it will run with acceptable performance honestly. A dual core 2.1ghz AMD cpu is not going to give you decent framerates even with dedicated graphics, which you also lack. If you're interested in doing more PC gaming, I'd highly recommend building a budget desktop gaming system, you'll get much better performance for your money.

Yep, they need to spread out the spawns more, force people to use the whole map, rather than find a gun on a low pop sever then play electro/berizino DM.

If you kept your weapons in good repair, it was very unlikely to happen so it's hardly surprising that you didn't notice it. In farcry 2 it was very poorly done, to the point where enemy weapons would never jam regardless of condition, until you picked them up and they'd explode in your hand. In stalker, it was better applied and gave you a good reason to avoid certain weapons and select weapons in good states of repair. For example the trs 301 and l85a1 would begin at a higher state of repair than an ak74. http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Durability for more info on the durability and misfire mechanics in stalker games.

Only time I ever found a magazine for one, I glitched through a wall and plummeted to my death before I could fire a single shot in anger. :blush: Normally If I'm using a Mosin I like to use an FNX or cz75 as a backup, just because it's more got more DAKKA-DAKKA for mag dumping if I happen to bump into someone unexpectedly. If I'm using the SKS or M4 I tend to prefer the magnum, since it's more of a backup and doesn't require magazines, the lack of rapid fire for breaching isn't so much of an issue if you're using a rapid fire primary, too. Hopefully I find another 1911 mag sooner or later, so I can give it a proper test.
