I'm pretty sure this started in .52. My theory is your avatar is slightly above cold status temp, so it can happen without seeing cold bar. I fire will get rid of it, but takes a few minutes. That's what got rid of mine.

Do as you wish, play how ever you like.But I sure am not doing that. I close doors behind me, been doing that for a long time. That way if I come back and the door is open. I know some one has been there.

I don't care how you play, hero, bandit, survivor, sniper, lone wolf, or devout clan member....whatever.I don't care whether you make contact 1st or just kos people. Its all part of the game, it has its place. But clear hacking and exploitation of the game is just low, to wreck peoples fun is pretty lame.

Its such a fail tactic to try to punch someone and take there stuff. When I 1st started playing, like were talking like my 1st couple of nights, I would try doing that. Its was because I really didn't know what I wad doing at the time.Last night I was with 3 people on top a hill. A random fresh spawn spawned in right next to us, he then attempted to attack one of our team mates. He as quickly shot dead. I had a ghillie and hidden in a bush. Suddenly I heard thump...knocked out. My team mates then killed him again sent him tumbling down the hill. At this point I said lets log out and leave this server. As we logged out the person spawned in again and killed one of our teammates as he was logging out. What a ass hat who ever that was. Not even a good hacker, and horrible player. Even with hacks this person died twice. He did succeed at wrecking our fun and causing me to lose confidence in the game. But we just kept playing. Not sure why people feel they need to do that. It ruins the game for anyone who really try's to play. My theory is they do it out of frustration and desperation. So they resort to hacking and fail tactics. They are sub par players that are legitimately resentful towards players that take the time to learn. Similar to a person who smashes out a window on a nice car. Its player hate n at its worst lol

WTF are you talking about? You taking to me? LOL good lord

Pretty fucking low regardless......really??

Is it case shut...could it be aliens.......well someone's spawning in right on my pos and getting lit up...2 times one night lol nice try fuck face.....not kidding..some weird spawning in hack going around now. Somehow I lived lol that's sad can't even kill me with a hack

About 3 weeks ago I was down at bolota/cherno high rises shooting out of the top floor all by my self on a high pop....I mean way the fuck up high hehe. I heard foot steps and pulled out my pistol, and low a behold it was a freshy he ran up to me swatting I shot him almost at point blank. WTF! Its was really weird why was he even there. Maybe he was really pissed off he was shot and decided to come up and try to kill whom ever killed him 1 st. I logged out about 2 minutes after, it was really suspect and weird, what if he was scouting for someone else or hacking. People do weird shit in day z. LOL Wonder if that was the same guy lol. Maybe he does that because every blue moon he really does kill other players and gets all there gear...kind of a desperate tactic lol. But if you can pull it off holy shit, no need to gear up lol who the fuck knows hahaha Anyways next time shoot him instead turning around, don't trust randoms for shit.

I understand its part of the road map, but really outside of weather effects how much harder has it really gotten? To me once you get over the 1st weeks of playing, the survival mechanics is almost a secondary part for many who play the game and not totally the primary focus what so ever.

Interesting bringing up H1Z1. Same thing goes for ARMA as well in some ways. DayZ needs to really start setting it self apart now more then ever.Were we going with this? Do we want it to be more hard core pvp, and keep it with kind not medium to easy level survival. Or just go balls out in a much more gritty world and really turn up the heat on the survival aspect of the game. A world were pvp is more out of desperation or for the pure sake survival and group survival. If that's the way we wanna go there's still work to be done. What do you guys think? To be honest ARMA already has allot of the same elements of pvp...and more really. So really if this is to be a pvp focused game, with some survival its nothing more then ARMA, with some easy to medium level survival mechanics in a different setting. Realism I want to see but the mech of it needs to work well.

What I would like to see is more immersion, and the game it self steer away from "the ARMA feel" and more towards a gritty post apocalyptic feel. I wanna see everything look a bit more run down like buildings and so forth. Overgrown vegetation, a look that know one has been around in several months. A real eastern European post apocalyptic shit hole feel. Lets get some un kept looking avatar's too. Avatar customization. As far as loot spawning goes its not really all that realistic at this point, almost seems just like a random thing. I would like to see loot spawning make little more RL logical since. Also I'm not apposed to having military gear in game, but I think it should be hard to get, and players should have to risk everything to get it. I want players to really have to earn it. I want realism but it has to be balanced in with fun, more immersion. More survival as well. I think right now many players play simply to pvp, that's it. They do the min to survive long enough just for a quick pvp thrill then do it all again. Weres the stats and pvp leader board again? lol I thought the game fancys it self a survival simulation were pvp is something you do to survive one way or the other. Interesting to see this thread is still going.

Not really sure what to think of all of this, seem a little over the top. As far as military gear in game goes, well it should be available in game. It should be not as easy to get as civilian gear either due to rarity or danger one must face to get it. Now the way day z is now, good gear is is only going to give you so much of an advantage anyways. Say for example a player with a high cap, G helmet ECT vs a player with civ gear, really may only be able to take a couple of additional direct hits AT BEST. So really it only gives little extra protection period. As far as guns go yes an akm with a 70 round drum has an edge in close quarters to medium range fight vs a civ geared player armed with say a blaze or what ever. Skill is everything though and knowledge of the game. As far as clans treating the game like ARMA goes, I really think it just comes down to player preference more then anything. If the group is really good they can hold down an area and have kind of a un fair advantage for a while, BUT from what I have seen time and time again it always short lived. Also one thing I have noticed playing in groups is how quick things go south. A complete utter train wreck were everyone dies, someone leads you into a complete death trap. Honestly from what I have seen in a few groups I played, it happens more often then one would think. The reason is the thrill of pvp, and group players intentionally putting them selves in really risky spots to get it. Its not tactically sound what so ever. To me its almost like someone grinding there nails on a chalk board. But it sure as hell is a thrill somtimes and its fun I have to admit. But it makes no logical since to me in a survival game. You should have self preservation and group preservation in mind during pvp. This ain't COD. The reason I bring all this up is because some on this thead make sound groups have some kind of unfair advantage, I say maybe sometimes, but not always. I have seen times were at a complete disadvantage and become pined down. I played lone wolf and grouped up. Its really just player preference at the end of the day. There is enough pros and cons to even it out to were its not even really an issue. I also will say organized groups only in some cases dominate pvp lol. If that's the case why do I live so long playing lone wolf? Its just not all the way true. So what is this the new "KOS" this and that now. People need to except this game has complete game play freedom. Quit knocking other peoples play styles. I played lone wolf for months and never once pissed a complained about clans having some sort of advantage over me not once.

I noticed kind of a similar were I just don't live as long grouped. I think once you play solo for a while you master it. You learn the does and don'ts, what gets you trouble and what doesn't. Now with groups much the time there pvp oriented, that's the goal. So they will seek it out, and place them selves in more dangerous areas the you otherwise probably either avoid or be much more careful about solo. So almost instantly your risk level goes up. Its a game and if you have the means to do it, why the hell not.Its a different mindset for sure. I think the cost of losing is also much higher solo as well. You don't have anyone to help you. So I think when I lone wolf I'm survival oriented, and the reason for pvp is different then grouped. I want to do it with a better hand cards then the other guy or just leave. Maximize on getting the drop on them 1 st. We all know that that's all just in theory, and day z has a way and players have a way of catching us off guard. Groups offer a support system in way, so the cost death of during is less. Which of course leads to taking more risks. The truth is its a thrill to take risks in game. It can lead to allot of action and if you live through there is a since of group accomplishment, which is great. Train wrecks happen too, which is really not fun. So really playing both, I know its really it really just comes down to play style and how you feel like playing that given day. Day z has pretty cool sand box game play freedom in that way. There really is no right or wrong way to play. Play how ever the hell you want

Currently it all depends on how I'm playing. If I'm grouped pvping on high pops, a week sometimes longer. I tend to die more grouped then solo, which to me would seem to be the other way around. The reason is pvp, and just looking for trouble. Now days I have been getting back into group pvp, but on a private server. Which means what ever happens if I die I still have my public avatar still alive. My current semi solo public avatar has been alive for 2 months, Nov 12 to be exact. I think the reason for it is I am much more cautious playing solo then grouped. I almost have an opposite mentality playing solo. Everything is about stealth. Were shooting players is more of something I do if someone is my way. Its also sometimes hard to change my play style to suit group game play. But its all part of the game and the challenge of it. That's what makes it fun.

Day Z SA at its best is a challenging fun game, an adventure and a real thrill even more so for a newer player. At its worst its extremely unforgiving, buggy, at times down right not fun and annoying game. Lets face it we have all had really bad game play sessions. For me during from bugs or lucky for me the rare game wrecking hacker is the worst. What I have got in the habit of doing is researching what bugs are what and basically what can cause me to have a less enjoyable game play experience. Then well I do my vary best to avoid the issues period. What I found is a number of issues that happen are server related. Not all but a great deal. If I'm playing public, I find the quicker I get off a glitchy high ping server the better. Most of my really bad experiences I have happened on bad servers, were I just kept playing on them. I totally agree with steak were he said sometimes its really just a good idea to take a break for a while. Its a game. If your just having bad time playing its simply not worth it. Drama is another thing. Its just not worth or worthwhile. I'm a busy man in RL, and spend my free time playing games as a leisure activity. Why and the hell do I want to get stressed out even more about a game, just not worth it. I will admit there have been a bit worked up. But I walk away feeling really stupid and figuring its kind of not worth it. I will simply take break. Its so much better.

Regardless of how far you can see it, its not idea or tactical. Normally I will lite fires unless I am far away from were I think players will be or in a safe location. There are other options to stay warm heat pads, or animal guts. What really want to see is for the devs to correct the gas stove, and heating to it. Currently all it does is burn food. Even though fires look cool, I def want to see more options.

I'm normally will be the one that will quickly say don't trust anyone and do everything short saying out right KOS. Only cause I don't feel like debating with the anti this and that crowd. With that said I for once met a friendly random player a couple days ago. Ended up running with till server restart. Little did he know I was trying to gather Intel and figure out if he was in a clan or not lol Regardless it was completely friendly and honestly nice to see every blue moon. Which is a rarity for me.

Well if it is taking longer the normal I'm ok with that. Same thing with GTA getting put on hold again. Day Z dev team has not been misleading to me anyways. The road map was pretty clear on when things are going to added roughly and when issues are being addressed. Intact it looks like there going to go even more heavy handed on hacking in the next few months. Zombie are also getting addressed in next months as well.To me its just a matter of patients, and not expecting much overnight. If were still saying the same thing next year...then it will be a different story.

I read the road map report for the SA today, and there's going to be some cool change's coming. Also the SA will not be in beta for a year. So we might as well be patient. GTA 5 is coming anyways. I don't know about you guys, but that's sure to keep me busy anyways. Its got online and heists too. Not even worried about day z, not going to rant about it. They got it under control. People need to understand this alpha, which most the time gamers don't even see alpha stage of a game. All considering its doing pretty good seeing its in alpha. Here's the thing, if there were hiding stuff from us or being misleading I would be pist off. There not though. There pretty up front for better or worse and pretty transparent. They also are very clear it is early access and alpha, and that it will have glitches. They get some slack from me cause of this, so long as they stick to the road map. So I'm not concerned at all really. Look we got a whole year before it even close full release...A year! Just take break if the game bugging you, play something else and come back in a while. Cause its going to be while lol no amount of forums bitching will change that.

Only one vest per player and one bullit each! emmmm k! :beans: LOL Otherwise xhiril will come a look n!

I think what you will hear on the forums regarding server hopping will be one thing and what really goes on in game another. Server hopping is something that goes on quite abit ingame. Its the "I have to have the best gear posible" and the collector player mind set that causes it. The thing about dayz is there is no god like items. None of it is going to help you if your not all that good at the game...It seems to happen on public servers low pops mainly. Timers cut down on it but it still goes on. People on the forums tend to frown on stuff like, KOS, server hopping, "Hackers", 1pp vs 3pp and even recently the use of team speak lol.....not kidding...Yet minus the hacker part, there is a whole lot of KOSing and server hoping going on in game.........Something has to give here, whos doing it? :o lol So If you serously are anti server hopping then your vary best bet is to play on private servers.

Persist still kind of wishy washy. Only for a week so theres really no reason to try to store that many items yet. But yes a few times I have found player made gardens, looked doors at a prison with tons of loot inside and stashed items. Nothing that major yet though. Mostly to me it just told a player was in the area and to keep my guard up.

DUUUUUUDE.....Dont ever admit to that on the forums, now your going to be hounded and trolled by all the ANTI this and that folks :huh: Oh well....

I agree it is cool and a bit experience playing private shard. Also like you said you can have multiple avatars. So if you die, your other avatar on different sever types are still alive and well. Also its appears much of the same people play all the time.
