I'm pretty sure I hit my head going down the stairs in the fireman building. Got a good laugh and a 15 min run back :p Alpha beeing tested I quess...

I still see some snipers, camping outside of cities mostly, sit on their back after getting shot at.. I have no idea if they don't know about the combat-log patch or not, but I find it hillarious everytime. That beeing said, I could see it working out of the guy shooting at them either is rushing to get the finnishing blow or if they are semi-behind cover. Seen a few disapear after going unconcious atleast. I think this game has changed, atleast a little when it comes to combat loggers. You have those that used to do it, who now never does it, seeing they might loose their stuff as a consequence. And you have those that "risk" it or don't know about it. So after engaging, like you did, theres 50/50 chance that those people you were chasing had combat-logged, making fighting alot more fun IMO. People who once could sit outside for however long they wanted, covering exit paths etc, now have to take this into consideration. Either you try to go in after your target, or you stayoutside in relativ safety, and hope he isn't sitting on his arse disconnecting inside. So if you want to make sure to kill someone, you can't really just stay outside and "camp" anymore. Before when combatloggers just disapeared, there was no point in going in after them, seeing how they could vanish at any moment (high risk no reward). This unsure element of safety/glory makes both side consider how they want to play an engage out, balls or no balls. I've seen both since the patch. Those who play the engage out and those who sit around corners inside, logging out. I find both equally entertaining, as I either get "free" loot or a proper fight.

I just tried to respawn on a server after I died, not getting past "please wait", left the server and got 300 seconds respawn timer.. What's that all about? I was on the same server for about 40-50 minutes...

I don't really believe in the consept of a "innocent" player in DayZ anymore. There are those who probably woulnd't harm a fly, but often the case is quite different (atleast according to my experience). A fresh spawn is simply "friendly" untill he has a better opportunity of making you regret you left him alive. That beeing said I don't really kill ungeared people unless I either think; he's a spotter for a group of bandits (which there are alot of), or if he is blatanly trying to harm me in any form. So trusting someone of beeing mr.friendly-peace-lover, could often get you killed. Which is why, I assume, so many start KoSing which leads to more people doing the same. Hopefully I havn't made the same point as everyone else has, I apologize if this is the case. PS; Humanity is a thing you find offline, generally. Cheers for reading.

Have you tried scrolling the view bar inside configure? The one changing how wide you can see (can't remember what it's called).. If you scroll it to 0 you'll see further, I had to do this to see far enough with PU scopes.

I had the same issue before, I simply entered video settings and went out of it again. After which the blur was gone and I was rdy to go again. Hopefully this might work for you too, if it doesn't I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Gl finding a solution! - Have a nice day. :)

Just experienced the same thing, but I think it's an exploit. Some walls can be jumped into, and shot out from. "My guy" logged (or teleported) in first floor watchtower, right next to my friends. They unloaded their ammo at him however nothing seemd to hit. They both died soon after. Relentlessy I walked in to try to save one of them who were unconcious, However I got shot at through the stairs, so I ran away from him. Little did I know that he could shoot through the back wall and he finally kill me. I don't know how it works, but the ONLY other guy on our server was called "Nightb*itch" (insert i into *), servername: "Vikingz DayZ - Best server EU Regular 115188" The incident happend around 0.50 - 1.00 tonight the 20th feb. PS: I don't neccesarly believe the server is at fault, but I feel it's appropriate to mention both Char name, server and timeperiod to see if this could be avoided in the future. - Thanks for reading.
