    if you dont agree to the EULA that server "owners" (actually, just wallets that fund the hosting of the server... which the devs see nothing of!), dont rent a server. passwords, not allowed. locking servers is allowed but only in specific instances and for specific time frames. if you think that shelling the money out entitles you to loot up undisturbed or whatever you are after doing, think again. there will be private hives for that eventually, but for now there arent. if you think shelling the money out entitles you to something special, then you did not read the contract you agreed to abide by when you shelled that money out. your server will not be allowed to join the hive if you are caught breaking the EULA. which, if you rent a server, you have agreed to and is a legal contract. that i doubt you read.
  2. there are a few more differences that where pointed out in the recent facebook post by the devs as well... for instance, all "hardcore" servers are to be synced to the same time. no more server jumping to get back to the light! they also run on a 19.5 hour day/night cycle so that if you play at a consistent time daily, your experience will be a little different each day as the time will be slightly different each day. this makes using the sun/moon to navigate a little (but not much, really) more difficult as well, as the time wont sync with the previous day. the post also stated that there will be more varied weather, from beautiful, blinding, annoyingly low sunlight to a heavy downpour. in future, i speculate this may lead to needing to have rain gear or getting sick. these are things that can be configured by the servers owner too. i cant find the original post, maybe ill edit it in after work. heres the link to their fb page tho (as if yall didnt like it already!) https://www.facebook.com/pages/DayZ-Standalone/409612809086014

    What exactly is ghosting?

    i think that ghosting is the primary reason our toons make the reloading noise when we log into a server, to make it more difficult. i will admit ive done it several times to get a position on a sniper thats plaguing noob.

    Alcohol tincture and sick?

    CONFIRMED: you will appear sick after using tincture to clean wounds, but as stated (several times) above once you get the "your wounds are clean" message, you will no longer be sick. provided you take no additional damage or have anything happen that turns you sick normally.

    Tactical Town Raiding and Inventory Drops

    you touch it with a needle! sometimes, i dont wanna be running around with my orange backpack on while looting... sometimes i just wanna be more nimble and fit through doors better. and i NEVER wanna supply the guy that kills me with the few hundred rounds ive collected along the way. maybe 50.
  7. people still listen to skrewdriver? guess we're all bound for glory in one way or another...
  8. So, im a huge fan of this game so far. but i have a few questions, cause like many people i am sick of losing all my stuff every time some hidden sniper decides to take me out on a town raid for food and water... The biggest question that i would like to know about is how long do items i drop stay in the world for? I would love to be able to stop outside town, clear my backpack of all the stuff i dont need to loot that town in a small pile somewhere i would be able to easily find again once i am finished with the town. This way i would both have room for the more stuff im certain that i would find useful in that town, and i would not be feeding the person that decided i was worthy of their hot lead. Mostly all i would like to have with me when i go into a town is the weapon i favor for defending myself and an empty backpack to loot up with. And, ofc, some ammo. But not all of it. I know that bodies disapear from the world 10 mins after being killed (i actually think it would be way cooler if they turned into zombies that took more than 1 shot to kill of they had good enough gear to armor themselves, as i often do) so does that apply to the things i drop as well? Hopefully someone will know! I think it would be handy to be able to retrieve this pile of stuff too if i where killed in the town while i was looting it.

    Just blackscreen if I join a server

    when you join a server that is currently in the night time mode, you will have to wait for your char's eyes to adjust to the light as well, this can take a minute at times... i usually HOLD Z to lie down immediately upon joining a server, then try TAB to see if my inventory comes up. if it does, then i know that after a short pause stuff will start becomming visible to me, usually light sources first (ie. stars and the moon, if its out). hope this helps!

    Cannot Load Material File ???

    im getting the same error, except it seems to come up for me at a random time shortly after starting the game or switching servers... i have also seen 1 beret in the game so far, it was in a police station in the north airfield on one of the beds on the second floor. im assuming that since when i saw the beret it had the same texture on it as the ballistics helmet (it really looked like it was a helmet when i first saw it) that the texture file itself was accidentally ommited from the last patch, but since the game seems to function as well as it ever did im not overly concerned about it.
