If you hit them in the head with your fists they go down at once! Since the patch I don't bother with a fireaxe any more since fists do the job really well and can't get stuck in walls like the axes.

FFS desync... What is happening there is that a hacker ports in. As soon as anybody collides with your "Networkbubble" yxou will get the red chain since entities will have to be synchronised (So if you encounter a red chain in game chances are good there is another player entering your networking bubble.) Not to speak of the havoc a teleporting hacker will wreak on the interpolation of the engine so of course there will be constant synchronising. But... yeah that had to be desync...

Yeah I must admit the headline suggested something else :)

First of all I refrain from slander. (And you would be well advised to refrain from that even on the web - once in a while someone might decide to sue and your statement could cost you dearly if the judge is a 70ish old with no idea of online gaming) If you call it a lie when he creates a fictional story from bits of videogame - well that is your opinion. For all I care he could stage all of it - it is not real to begin with. He produces entertaining videos and if he manages to make a living on that what do I care? (I just watch it - I do not pay anything for it)

Frankie produces entertainment. That is all there is. He never claimed to do documentaries. In a way people winding themselves up about this is like taking "reality shows" or a movie for real. You all need to calm down and see it for what is is - intended and edited to tell a story and entertain the viewer. Given the source materials he works with he does a proper job in my opinion.

Sorry, but that is why frankie's vids are entertaining while your video is a 2 hour - mostly boring - monstrosity. ( Sich darüber aufzuregen, das Frankie seine Videos nachbearbeitet ist doch eh quatsch - da kannst Du Dich genauso über nen Kinofilm aufregen Editier Dein Video doch auch auf 20 min mir Voiceover und stell es hier ein - es sind ja echt einige witzige Stellen drin. )

Since they source turned up on the web and information was out without BI being the ones to release it that point is moot. It is bad enough reputation wise to be (or appear to) informed about the breach by the press. So all you should do is to be as transparent as possible to be able to channel the rumours and to be as much on top of the situation as you still can be.

I do think it does not matter if someone will spawn in a million battleships or just spawns in his gear or uses a speedhack for that matter. it is the same thing: cheating.

i am sorry I did not mean to offend you. Me calling people ignorant was not aimed at you but at the nay-sayers in the forums who will tell you say have seen no hacking in 200+ hours of dayz. The point you are making: When my buddy and I go "looting" we match outfits (friend/foe ident) so we usually do not grab camo since every bandit looks like that. We end up with grey/blue/black cargo pants and pressvest and maybe riders jackets to match. - So it is not always duped equipment (but I think very often it is) All in all at some point we have kitted firearms and are stocked and the outfit is complete - so what is there to do? We go to Elektro/Berezino and PVP or try to interact (which will result in PVP) and when we die we start over. The spawning of items is another thing. You can see bambis in Berezino that hide in a house or in the woods and magically a mosin or a backpack appears on the toon. I happened to come across one yesterday when I was in Berezino for fun - trying to Mike Tyson some gear from snipers. So I come across that bambi that suddenly spawns in all that equipment. Of course I knocked him out - but he had not spawned in ammo yet :( so I could not shoot him. Then I was shot by someone else while I was pummeling his unconscious body :D Later on we saw him again just before the server restarted. So we relogged the server and ran up to where he was before. Sure enough he comes in again and we were able to witness the "miracle" of gear from thin air again. (this time we killed him) I don't know how they spawn their gear.

Hi, yesterday a friend and me tried to work out new angles of attack on airfields etc. As part of that we seek out overwatch positions and take notes for ranging. While trying to do that yesterday we encountered a problem: While shooting at approx. 600m I was not able to see the impact of the bullet on a building. (I took the height of the frame and approximated mildots to guess the range and then started to range the scope) Even my buddy with binocs could not see the bullet impact. I tried it prone, kneeling, standing. (While kneeling and standing I could not see the impact because of the recoil but my spotter should have been able to) My settings are very high expect for bloom, clouds, shadows. It was a while since I used a Mosin with LRS but I was able see bullet impact at much further ranges a while back. Any ideas? Edit: I did not mess with my configs manually.

Just enter a 40/40 server, go to Berezino and open your eyes... People standing in the hills or in houses and you can see when they spawn in their equipment and so on... those who still think hacking is not rampant in the game are either ignorant or only play on low pop servers and hide in the woods.

I would disconnect from the voip server because your communication is messed up - total chaos. You should employ a system for combat situations.

You can look the types of slugs up here for example: http://www.brennekeusa.com/cms/ko_sabot1.html Brenneke is a german slug manufacturer. On some slugs they say the range is up to 100 yards.

Thank you very much and Beans for you!

Nope, but if you know mildots you can "approximate" them in mind.

In that instance I was just ranging my gun without anyone around - but that does not change the fact that it is problematic if you come under sniper fire and you cannot dial in your shots under pressure because you cannot see your bullets impacting...

Thanks a bunch!

Sure that would push 'em over or kick their legs out from under them depending where they are hit. (Given that they are not running and are dead on impact since then there would be a lot of momentum that has to be overcome/changed in direction) Don't get me wrong: For all I care they could somersault back on being hit 'cause that would add spectacle. But I doubt the Devs will add it in because of "reasons" (*realism*)

Is it a bug that now exits generally or only on specific surfaces that do not display impact? Also is there a workaround? Thank you for your answers so far.

That does not suffice sadly. Shooting down from elevations you cannot rely on 2D point A to B measurements. When in a jiffy (being shot at that is) I do not have time to access the map - so a educated guess must do that then will be refined by seeing if I under- or overshot. But with not being able to see bullet impact I cannot correct my aim :(

The force of impact is never higher than the force of recoil. So if someone would fly back from impact the shooter would do the same. With high powered rifles people might fall in the direction of the shooter when the bullet exits the body and creates a jet of blood and tissue that can push a lifeless body over. (sorry to burst your bubble ;) )

Since BE is handling that end of "business" we can only hope the data written is sufficient (and not modified).

I experienced it often enough with or without sawn off barrel. Point blank -> nothing happens. Sometimes bang - guy dead. Sometimes poof - nothing happened. (All happened inside of houses/corridors) On how many server did you try it? What was your range in ping? What was the range of ping for your 'victims'? Or did you just connect to a server tried it there and then thought: "Yeah that will do it enough data has been created for significant results."?

Holy shi... they are killing again in DayZ ????!?!?? I'm even more shocked than last time :o

Why so bitter? No friends that want to share VOIP with you? Probably because you try bossing people around all the time... Edit: It is a flipping game... get over it. It is your opinion and you may handle it that way but leave others to their opinion. Thank god you are impotent to force your opinion on others!
