Coast sniped? I dont believe there will be people that will be sitting on a specific coast location FOR HOURS and hours just for a slim chance that some player MAY be there ( especially when there are pvp grounds like elektro and cherno ). And for the server - as i told, the servers need to be stable for this solution to work, but they are pretty stable at the moment in my opinion. I never had a problem when i can join and a friend cant...

I dont believe so. There is a SLIM chance a player even will change a server, there is even a slimmer chance that he will spawn somewhere where the some guy is camping due to the ammount of spawning locations in the game. No, its a very very very slim chance.

I don't see whats so bad about it - most of people spend their time in one server already, they join another server for two reasons and those are: 1) They are going server hopping to get some free kills on a vantage location 2) The server really sucks Yes, i do know this will require major server stability, but i dont see how " wait 5 min until you can join another server " will fix the issue.

There is one big issue that affects DayZ's pvp and the challenge to collect items(people find a military item spawner and collect items from it by hopping from server to server). That is server hopping. People most of the times get their hunting gear out, go to a vantage point with their weapons and server hop to a more populated server to get some free kills. They also server hop when they are getting fired at and they know the location where somebody is shooting them - all it takes is to find another server, get to the location where they were fired from and server hop back to the initial server to get a free kill. This really plague's dayz's pvp. My idea is this - whenever you join a diffrent server your spawning point gets reset. Here's an example: If a player logged out with his gear inside Chernogorsk in a server A and he joins server B, he doesn't spawn/log back to his initial location(for this example thats Chernogorsk), but he spawns with his full gear in one of the many coastal locations where people respawn after death. Let's say the player reaches Electro, logs out and joins back to server A. The player then doesn't spawn back inside Chernogorsk(where he first left of in server A) or Electro ( where he left server B ), but he spawns again on the coast with his full gear. Pretty much, every time you join a diffrent server - your spawn location gets reset, but you dont lose gear. Also, to avoid confusion, if you leave server A in Chernogorsk with your gear and after a while get back to server A, you spawn back in Chernogorsk with your full gear. Personally, i think this feature can fix the hopping server exploit, because most of the people are already pretty static when it comes to servers due to the things like finding a closest server to you, your tents and vehicles you share with your friends save only in one of the servers. Yes, this will make people a little bit more static when it comes to servers, but not by much - people constantly move around the map, not staying inside one location for too long, so resetted spawning location feature won't damage the game.

Thank you very much for the video, it is for sure that the admin's are doing something shady and abusing their powers.

*Doesn't matter, delete this*

My battle eye is fine. I'm able to join every server as are my friends. I was able to play with my friends at this server until the admin showed up...

Server Name: DayZ - LU168 (1.7.2.4/93965) (Regular|3D:ON|CH:ON) dayzmod.com - frspawnix | Vilayer.com (Your) Timezone: GMT + 3 Date/Time : 22:00, Thursday, August 2nd, 2012. Server Administrator('s): Spawnix What happened: Me,my friends and the majority of people in the server are getting constantly kicked out of the game with an exception of a few people. Evidence/Proof: Youtube video - http://youtu.be/YmC8twP4lWQ Photos:

But it doesnt matter if you manage to "Save old camping tent " in the period of the two or more days after death, right?

Hello, I was wondering if you are able to properly save a camping tent after your death? You do get the function "Save old camping tent" regardless. Thank you in advance.

Heh, maybe i followed the wrong tutorial. I strictly followed this one http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2717901 And downloaded arma 2 free from steam. Could you give me the link of the tutorial you followed? I tryed another one, now i get into game, but as soon as i join a match, i get kicked out and an error in the chatbox appears, something about deleted chernarus map... SO yeah.

Doesn't seem to work. I would buy arma 2, i just want to be sure that this is strictly arma 2 free problem which will be fixed in retail arma 2.

Hey there, I have found a lot of videos on youtube and tutorials in general on installing DayZ with "Arma 2 free" and Arma 2 OA on steam. I can post the links if you ask on those tutorials, but i believe you are well familiar with these guides. The things is, whenever i try to launch the arma 2 OA shortcut with the "D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ -nosplash target wrote into it, i receive an error saying" Error creating Direct3D 9 Graphical engine". My question is, am i doing something wrong? Or is it just that arma 2 free isn't compatible anymore? Thank you for you answers, Flydie
