Death By Crowbar

I ran into my first teleporter in CP a week or so ago, he was chasing a few people across that field between CP and Novo. It looked just like the many youtube videos where people have documented their experiences, and from the number of shots the guy had taken I'm assuming he had an unlimited ammo glitched mag as well. I immediately logged and went to another server, wasn't going to deal with it. Also maybe a week or so ago on another occasion I was headed towards Novo again and I heard rythmic shots, as if someone was doing it to a drum beat - definitely M4 rounds. After hearing about the 200th shot it was obvious he must have an unlimited glitched mag so I turned right around and headed back south again. I cannot WAIT until the greatly hyped ".49 global wipe" that is anticipated to rid the world of duped item stashes and glitched mags of unlimited ammo.

It's a known issue, vote it up! http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=15591

40+ servers WILL happen. x64 brings a lot more options into play as it opens pandora's box in regards to memory and processing bandwidth. We're dealing with unoptimized alpha (early access alpha, not even official alpha) type issues, and the server architecture is about to move from toddler to JJ Watt level power (if you don't know who he is, imagine Hafþór Júlíus "Thor" Björnsson from Game of Thrones). If you don't know who either of them are, stop watching soccer (aka. Football to the world other than the USA) and understand what pansies vs men means. It's a monumental leap that isn't fully appreciated from the client (aka PC) side of things.

At 14:25, when he hits the female zed, that looks exactly how I look when I use the hammer against zeds, omg LOL

Here's what DayZ SA does to an Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Desktop Processor and GIGABYTE GV-N65TOC-2GI GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready. I've got 16GB or RAM mind you. The CPU requirements of this unoptimized game are immense.

The fact that you applaud challenge and the ever present zed threat vs whining about it like a little bitch gives me hopes in humanity again. Kudos my friend, you earned some beans. Keep up the good fight! I'm just curious why you didn't circle meelee them to death rather than kiting them across the world? For grins? It's a waste of ammo to shoot a zed. This is also a good thread for people who spawn naked to read - those who run my zeds thinking, "LOLZ slow zeds see you NEVAR BYE BITCHES!!!" and then log and spawn back the next day naked are so laughable because zed aggro in DayZ SA is epic at this point, and little understood. Moral of the story - don't be a bitch and run - take a pick ax or whatever the good lord allowed you to find and KILL ZEDS DEAD, KILL THEM, KILL THEM HARD!!!!

Whatever you're describing is either a bug I've never experienced nor seen discussed, or you're blowing this way out of proportion and didn't double tap W to run fast, OR you're not playing DayZ Standalone and messing with the mod. There are no zeds in SA that run anywhere near that fast nor that swarm that big... yet. Are you new to the game? There's tutorials we can link you to that might help with strategy on how to deal with the zeds, it's all strategy... you can't beat them via force, it's tactics and understanding how stupid they are coupled with dealing with a hitbox alignment bug (best way to describe it???) that renders them a non-issue. But when I say "non-issue" that's only if you understand the mechanics of how they work and how to deal with them, if you stand there toe to toe and try to fight them or try to run without running FAST you'll get big P PWNED each time.

Was it under the bridge in Vybor? Check this ticket out, if that sounds like you it's a known issue - no need to enter a new ticket, but certainly add to the notes on the existing ticket and/or vote it up. http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=14663

This is - an interesting poll. Here's some things to consider. Would DayZ feel and play differently? Bohemia had the luxury of the Arma engine and successful mod to start with as a base, but it's almost like "Pimp my ride" on Mtv where they take a run of the mill vehicle and try to pimp it out for another purpose. Some things get removed, some things get completely replaced, some things just get some lipstick and a paint job, and some of the framework that works might just stay in place. That's what they're doing, so even what we're used to now will still change considerably as things are tweaked, tuned, fixed, etc. The answer is yes it would be different, but not better, certainly not at this point in the dev cycle. Would DayZ have more or less glitches? Would the base systems such as movement feel less clunky? Likely not at this point in the early alpha dev cycle. Most people don't even get access to a game at this early unfinished stage unless you're a paid tester. Most games don't even let the outside world see it until it's proclaimed at least "beta". Do you think DayZ would have any different features, such as destructable world, easter eggs etc? Of course, but there's still a lot coming, I'm not sure how to guess a measure on features and content completed by I would have to venture a guess that they're not even half way there yet. Barricades, vehicles, all coming, and the mod had destructable buildings and I see no reason why they couldn't/wouldn't add that to standalone as well. Heck, I can already chop down any tree in the world!Early Access Alpha - it's glitchy, buggy, many features not implemented yet, etc by design because it's Early Access Alpha. Many companies wouldn't even take the risk of doing an early access alpha, it's a fairly new phenomena. I'm not defending Bohemia, but as I've gotten engaged in the community, tried to read up and understand the history of what's happened and keep an ear into what's going on, it all makes sense and I can tell you that I've already gotten my money's worth out of the game. I certainly look forward to each Wednesday to find out what's been fixed, added, tweaked, etc. It's a work in progress and ever changing which keeps things interesting. I'm almost concerned about a final stable product that doesn't change keeping me engaged!

If you don't die once in a while you're not really trying to live... ... you're a hermit in the woods, or not logging in. Neither of those are fun. So be a man, and take a risk and die today! It's better than having not lived and getting wiped tomorrow. This message is brought to you by our sponsors: Tactical Bacon, Pipsi, and a Zed chasing a pig to spite Shrub Rocketeer ™

In general, there's 2 public hives for the Stable branch - Regular or Hardcore (forget the new names for these?). You log into a Regular server on Stable and then into anther one and your character should be right where you left it with the gear you had. If you then log into a Hardcore server on Stable you're on a different hive, meaning you have a different character (different location, different gear). So your Regular follows your Regular and your Hardcore follows your Hardcore. I'm not sure if there are private hives yet? But there will be, and those will be different/separate.

Apparently in Russia you can also ride bears.

Also - if you spawned under a bridge near an ocean inlet or small pond or something - there was a bugged spawn location that would cause you to spawn naked in your undies with absolutely no gear. I don't know if they fixed that yet or not. I'm sure some people can chime in about that one, I also experienced that one once and it totally threw me for a loop.

Couple of things here. There are known issues with hives/databases/etc that can cause your character to wipe. Doesn't happen often, but people report it happening. There's a big global wipe coming up in a few releases anyway (allegedly with .49 build) so don't get too attached to that gear! Zeds keep aggro for an unbelievably long time and will follow you a lot longer than you think. You could very well have camped and had a zed you ran from earlier (or one that simply wandered by) come up and kill you in the 40ish seconds your avatar exists in the world after camping. As Warhoax said, a player may have noticed you camping and came along and ended you and/or stolen your stuff.On #1 - I've had an issue happen 2 times where I logged out of server A and later into server B, and after logging into server B I was right where I logged out by my gear was all missing (all my item slots were empty, but I had my containers). I then proceeded to log back into server A and like magic all of my items were back again. I think I reported this, or found a report someone else made and voted and chimed in on the Feedback Tracker. So in summary - your account is likely fine. This Early Access Alpha has a lot of quirks above and beyond normal game mechanics that might not be obvious that can cause what you experienced to happen. You likely did nothing wrong.

When someone says something like, "I'm a friendly" on an airbase... ... your only option is to open fire, retreat, or generally be like:

Maybe our avatars are all taller northern European or generally well fed and not to the same scale of those who were malnourished or living off vodka during the communist regime? Could always shrink our avatars rather than grow all the buildings. On the topic of buildings the other day I started to take screenshots of pictures hanging in them. There's some interesting ones. There's a lot of touches from an artistic standpoint that I think most of us simply run right by and take for granted or don't notice. Also, every time I'm in a bedroom where there's blood smeared all over the floor I just think of that one Frankie episode where the guy in the mask with the voice changer is like, "Oh no, somebody forgot to use a tampon" and I start laughing. LOL...

Oh wow... they were removed for now!? I swear I'd seen some last night? Maybe that was what I already had in my bag or something... I totally stand corrected.

They should be spawning, but I see them less often. Since they've added worms those are more fun to force feed people than rotten fruit. :) The loot tables and respawning loot, persistence, etc have sorta changed a lot of the loot dynamics you were used to. But to answer you, they should still spawn.

With the respawning loot I seem to find the bare necessities on even high pop servers. A lot of time when I don't have many inventory slots I'll pass up the Pipsi type cans (or drink them immediately if I don't think there's anyone around). I'm all about the tactical bacon and peaches, mmmm.

Wow, my hardcore guy was down in Kamyshovo (sp?). Had a run up to Berezino and eyes were shutting. Beware, I'm coming.. but another night!

This server is Hardcore! Headed north towards Berezino.. I see some FOG online, beware!

Whether or not (or when) Rocket goes we still get to see him on the back of ammo, right?

Irish... ... I'm coming for you!

Shameless self plug. :beans:

Oh, so captain 1 post OP was in the wrong forum?
