Btw, this is an alpha.... Getting stuck is kinda part of the deal... Lol so i always carry a rotten fruit, just in case i get stuck, i can commit "suicide"

Heres a theory i have, do you know that error when you see a zombie in the middle of the field just hitting nothing? That means someone logged out there, now in my understanding, thats how they fixed the desync lag/rubberband of .42, they made it that one side is predominant than the other, so every player is in sync, but the problem is, youre running, you see yourself running, everyone sees you running, but the server still sees you standing still, the zombies sees you standing still, so thats why you die or lose your gear... You think youre safe up the building, but what the server sees is you standing in the middle of the road 3 mins behind, thats why you sometimes just get hit, bleed then die... Even tho youre alone

It sounds like two snipers shot at you the same time... You were bandaging... So most probably you were crouched, first bullet from sniper 1 got your legs, first bullet from sniper two past above your head... Second bullets from both snipers killed you... From 400 plus meters, you barely hear the sound of the mosin, just bullet impact and whisp... Its actually very common, two snipers shooting at one target... Insta kill even if its not a headshot

Once loot respawning is fixed... People will start joining high pop servers.... Atm, in this game, you really need to server hop, unless u want to go around looted cities, or jump into an airfield full of campers and not the good kind... If you remember in the mod, people would plant their "flags" on high pop servers... Most of them atleast. Coz its just stupid to build a base that rarely gets full. IMHO, if people wanna server hop, let them... If they wanna gear up and join a full server geared and looking for a fight? Let them... As long as theyll die by the same weapons that i have... Let them do the hard looting from different servers only to bring it to one full server??? You know whats that called? A jackpot. People who play on low pop will always be at a disadvantaged, they dont know the routes, where people usually hide, theyre used to running at the middle of the roads... If people wanna play on low pop servers... Let them... They paid for the game just as you did

Sniping is quite hard actually, with the lag, bullet range... Shaking of the gun.... Specially at more than 400 m where there will be about a 1-1.5 sec delay to your bullet... There are good snipers who will fire once and relocate, or fire five quick successions then relocate... Then there are the sniper wanna be who will sit under a tree at elektro and shoot at people all day... And a fresh spawn running to elektro or a mil base without care in the world needs to be shot... Why? Coz most likely, he is rushing to his dead body...lets be honest, a fresh spawn who wants to survive wont run to elektro on a full 40 man server... Ive had a fresh spawn hit me with a fire extinguisher then shout friendly after we open up on him... My ROE i guess is if you dont talk, or respond, you get shot, if i catch you sneaking up on my position you get shot, if you stay after ive told you to go, you get shot... If i tell you to stop and you dont, i shoot... Why? Coz if i see a guy running away from the direction im going, i would like to know why he is running..you can tell alot about a guy from their gear, if he has used up bandages or odd number of rags, half empty mags or un even bullets or If he goes down quick from my fire despite being geared... Then he was in a firefight running away...reason enough to change directions

Sorry, im typing this on my phone... "No ammo" was just a quicker way to say "scarcity of ammo" Well my bad, since it was top of the list, i assumed it was the number one reason. Ok... Depth of looting... Got ya. It will be pretty deep.... Looting someones dead body for ammo. Make it scarce, and it gains value... If it has value, more people will want it... In my opinion... They should give a perk for surviving... Like growing a beard... Growing long hair... Sewing better... Eating quicker...

I agree, kos is a legitimate play style.... And i think people will still kill each other.... This time not for weapon attachments or scopes.... But for ammo, your just gonna make ammo valuable.... Valuable enough to kill for

@OP yup.... I read it... "-This would deter KOS. Not eliminate, but "deter" (water it down). I believe KOS will never be eliminated, ever. But I absolutely do believe that it can be reduced. Now I'm not one to complain about KOS as it's truly a part of the game & I believe that it's the victims fault for getting into the shooters sight in the first place (this is survival), but I do believe that it's not the concept that drives this game. DayZ (the finished game on paper) is not a shooter. If ammo were a true rarity, players would think twice before wasting 1 of their 7 FXN45 rounds that took them a week to find on a worthless fresh spawn, or would try to apprehend a geared player by outplaying them. Not by gunning them down because they have 100+ rounds to waste because they're a dime a dozen. Every shot must count." It actually was your number one reason... Next was lessen firefights or make shots count???(by product of no ammo).... Hehehe then something to do??? Farming.... Hoarding of equip for your vehicles.... Hopefully, farming too. Base building... :) (:

Scarce ammo? So we will be going at each other with wrenches and bows? And axes? Pitch forks? Hoes? They should increase crafting too... I wanna max out my dual wield and my sneak, then craft myself a two handed dragon axe.... Hahaha But seriously.... I think dayz is dayz coz of the guns.... Theres no way to lessen kos... Even in the mods.... Just deal with it.... Its just like being in a playground when you were little, there were bullies and push overs.... You cant play with everyone... Dont stand in the open doing the friendly dance waiting for the other guy to do the same.... Talk to someone from cover with your gun up... If he doesnt wanna play nice, kill him or avoif him... If he plays nice then kills you when you turn your back, then he was a douche and theres no cure for that

I agree with you... The game is about survival and scavenging.... So survive and scavenge... If people wanna kos, let them, if they wanna dupe, let them, this is a game that they paid for from their pockets,for me, as long as they dont teleport, use aimbots, use god mode, spawn in guns and helis, infinite ammo and i can still kill them with my gun, then i say game on... At the end of the day, they can only use one gun, one scope and their m4 still needs to reload no matter how many times they dupe their mags and ammo. Saying youll quit on the internet just makes you look like a *meooowwww*.... Just learn to deal with it and play on.... :)

I hope persistent containers will be stuck to one server.... But your character and his back pack will still carry over to different servers.... It would be nice to travel the map on different servers checking out bases and not start over on every server...

Yeah.... But the problem with the mod tho is, you if for say my base is on A server, but A server suddenly loses most of its players, or dont have that many players during the week, so i wanna hop and play on B server, B server is always full but has 4 clans in them, i experienced this in the mod, fresh spawn in a bike being chased by a heli, killed, then chased to the coast by the same heli.... The base should be tied down to one server, as well as the persistent containers, but let the gear on the player travel with the player? Lol

The game is not yet finished, besides, there are hackers on every platform, on every multiplayer game.... Life aint fair, so why expect a game to be any different? And as for kos, its very simple, if u dont wanna be a victim, dont stand in the open doing the friendly dance, approach other people from cover... Talk to them from cover, u can tell alot about a person from talking to them for a few minutes.... All in all, this game has a lot of potential in my opinion, it has the longevity of an mmorpg, yet the excitement of an fps... And its not even on beta yet... Just imagine when half the stuff they planned for are in game... A good way to lessen hackers is... To put in a monthly subscription... Like xbox gold membership... So there will be active admins monitoring and banning hackers... If you have to pay for the game, and an additional 60 bucks a year to play it, id think people would think twice about hacking and getting banned.

Yup, i thought so.... So what i wanna know is... A fix for it.... As the OP posted... Most of the time theres like simple fixes for stuff like this, like getting stuck in a wall or lagging like hell coz you have ruined containers or stuff....

This just happened to me too... I dont know whats going on, i can see all my attachments in my inventory, i can deploy the bipod, change up my attachments from the acog to a red dot... But as soon as i ads, all i see is my iron sights, i got shot by a shotgun yesterday and ruined my vest and shirt.... But no bleeding... May be the shotgun ruined my gun too? Ive changed m4s but still the same thing

So i played hc today, couldnt find any full servers so i just joined a half filled server... Spawned in and went to elektro.... I looted the 2 firestations first since i always go through sniper hill first to check for snipers... As i went to the hospital, i heard people speaking in russian, i followede the sound and figured they were in the police station... It sounded like there was only two of them but i couldnt understand russian so i wasnt sure...As i peak the stairs, i see a dead fresh spawn at the stairs by the cell, so i figured these were bandits, i took out my axe then i heard toons eating and drinking!! The axe gods has been gracious, i figured i can kill them before they get their weapons out.... I run up the stairs with my axe shouting on direct chat "suprise bitches" then i stop, there was like 4 or 5 of them in the corridor of the second floor, i guess i caught them by surprise coz one of them starts shouting friendly on direct chat.... I shout friendly too hahaha but i guess they understand enough english coz they sarted taking out their guns while laughing and saying friendly on direct chat.... One takes out a crow bar and hits me and i just started running hahaha i didnt even look back

I just watched "vikings" and i figured i would go skyrim on them.... It was very funny The thread is the product of not being able to play atm due to desync

Server hopping is always gonna be issue... Until loot respawns and constant containers comes in.., then people will stick to one server and start hording. Gahaha

I once shot a guy with an m4 at less than 50 meters, i shot him 3 times, one to the head and two on the chest...he went down, when i came to loot his body, i shot him one more time to the head(he had a motorcyle helmet) when it came time to hide his body, i couldnt, so i shot him two more times in the head..., tried to hide his body and i still cant, so i took the helmet off of his head and shot his head 4 more times. The bullet damage of the m4 is really low... It should be a one hit kill to the head at atleast 150 -200m(without helmet) and give it some beef on the range without the mp parts

Why not try playing skyrim? Theres no zombies there... But a lot bandits, vampires and dragons.... Oh.... Your gonna love the dragons..... They fly and breath fire and all that good stuff.... You can use magic.... They have axes.... Bows..., u know... All the stuff you want..,, and no guns.

Lol, cmon! Most of you would do the same as op! And you know it. And when op advanced with his gun drawn against the unresponsive player, he didnt escalate the situation, he controlled it. It would have been pretty stupid if he stayed out in the open doing the friendly dance infront of a unresponsive kitted player. One thing i learned about this game is, if you communicate with someone, and they dont answer or type to you, after you declared yourself friendly.... Thats reason enough to shoot... Because they could be talking on ts.... The guy might have gotten that 300 sec timer when you log in...

Op made the right call, he gave enough warning, most probably, the guy was afk, i dont think he was logging out, op gave several and was able to loot the body after... Most probably the guy got an important call or had to pee really bad. I got one ques tho, did you kill him? Coz the sks isnt a one shot kill, specially if hes all decked out and healthy... Or did you leave him unconscious?

Theres more aholes in regular coz it has a bigger demographic.... More people play it, so more aholes there.... Lol i dont mind getting killed, but using an epipen, saline bag, then gainin my trust only to fuck me over better.... Haha thats some real "villain" shit right there.... But thats why i play this game.... Hahaha

Well, its all about your approach, if you want to meet friendly people, always have the advantage... 3pp or hardcore.... I was playing hardcore on a full server, i knocked out(i got axed a ques) by bandits, who took all my stuff, i was unconcious, they brought me back, bandaged me, gave me saline, fed me cereal and gave me drinks, i was thinking oh well theyre good players... When i was back to full health, we ran on the tracks from solnichny to kamyshobo, half way, we stopped, they tell me to get on the road, then one guy pulls out a sawn off and shoots me in the legs, bandaged me up again, left me naked and with a broken leg and healthy. Two bambis ran past by me and neither one wanted to help. Theres no difference between the players on hardcore and normal, there are good players and aholes on both.... You just met the good players and i met the aholes :)

The zombies in experimental are a bit tougher, one hit and your bleeding, plus with the new melee stance, it makes killing zombies with an axe a bit harder... Now, the other day, last week to be exact, i shot a zombie in the head with the .22 rifle, it went down, i turn around and bandage... I look back and see it got up and went after me again.... Now this is a good way to toughen up the Zs... Keep their current speed, but make it so that a players "inventory weight" affect his running speed, the more shit you have, the slower you are, then a headshot should be the only thing that kills a Z, 2-3 body shots puts it down, but will rise again after a pre determined time, u dont really need tons of zombies, what u need is a good respawn system that makes em look like theyre infinite...have some pre determined num on a location then the moment one sees a person, depending on how that person is seen will determine how many goes after him, loke gun shots in cities spawn 10 or so coming from different directions... It will make sneaking around part of the gameplay again. And as for the night.... I agree nvg and thermals shouldnt be put in, if youre a fresh spawn playing a night server, well thats just asking to get shot... Make brightness and gamma adjustable only at the main menu screen, before entering a server... But make the nights playable... Its just too dark.... I understand that sometimes it is that dark... But only when theres a storm....Then make a good system for logging in and logging out.... Lets say 300 secs to login and 300 secs to log out... Both times your character just sits there, killable.... I bet this will lessen ghosting and server hopping... Right now, when someone logs out, he can log put instantly and then gets the 300 secs when logging back in... He should also get a 300 sec logging out where his toon just sits there, you can make an animation like the toon is sleeping for falling asleep.... Oh yeah, and bring back global chat, make it so that you can toggle it on and off.... I kinda liked having global chat....
