Death By Crowbar

Maybe they're introducing bikes for PAX? Ok, likely not, but hey, we can dream can't we? :lol:

First - panty hose, tank tops, and boxers with starts? I don't think they exist. Was it a female toon or a male avatar? Way to discriminate against survivors not as fortunate with loot as you are. He was probably someone who just bought the game and was trying to deal with an inventory bug/quirk and you went and killed him! Murderer!... did you loot the boxers with the stars?

When will then be now? Soon...

Torturing and / or killing captives, it's a part of the experience. However, as you can see there's not a consensus on what's the right way to do it and what's acceptable vs what's not. The fact that the game allows for taking hostages and holding people it is a large part of what makes it fun. The type of stuff that people are like, "Don't KOS!" because of. It's more interesting interacting more towards how a human IRL would rather than what a twitch reaction hair trigger player in Quake, Half Life, CoD, Halo, etc would do. That being said, the threat of getting your brains blown out is also part of the fun, the game needs people who pull the trigger (even though people who always ONLY pull the trigger are frowned upon - no matter how they attempt to justify it, that's the teenager CoD style of play).

Don't get too happy... all it takes is some stairs in either an aircraft control tower or fire station, OR some sniper or crazy ax man to quickly take away those shiny new things! Enjoy them while they last! :P

This thread will 99% certainty get noticed by one of the mods and merged into the stickied hacking status thread pinned at the top of the forum FYI. But until then, by 2 cp: I was running towards Novo, and heard an M4 firing. Rythmic firing, as if he was doing a drum beat from a rock song. After the 200th shot I realized I was up against someone with a hacked unlimited mag and I simply turned around and headed the other direction. I was in Cernaya Polana when I heard loud shots going off near me. I snuck around a building to see what was happening and saw 2 guys teleporting across the field between CP and Novo chasing 2-3 other people. I immediately ran into the nearest 2 story building and logged out and back into another server hoping the hackers weren't into server hopping.Moral of the story - I avoid them at all costs (and report them when I can). I cannot WAIT until the server wipe with .49 and item duping being fixed, and I also cannot wait until the teleporters are dealt with. Until then, I just deal with it and when I know I'm up against cheaters I either avoid the situation or simply log and try another server in hopes that there aren't hackers there as well.

It should sound like a really really positive thing! I for one am totally in support of and looking forward to it!

Here's the bottom line - Rocket/Dean is to DayZ as Bill Gates is to Microsoft, as Steve Jobs is to Apple/Pixar, as Elon Musk is to Tesla/SpaceX. He's the face of it that everyone is most familiar with, from a community standpoint having him around as long as possible is good, regardless of what his hands on role is. The community doesn't really need to be up Bohemia's ass about how much coding Dean does or what Dean's role is from a direction or lead standpoint. it's been well discussed how there's been handoffs of many things as the team has grown and matured, and everyone expects that to continue. Thus my opinion: Rocket going sooner is ridiculous and obviously not preferable to him staying on as long as possible (in whatever role that is). A criticism - I would like to see Rocket visit the community (this one, the forums) again. Don't think he's logged in since March. A compliment - I do like that I see dev team members such as accolyte here engaging with the community regularly.

This is spot on, because everyone knows that Shrub Rocketeer ™ is the protector of pigs!

One or two devblogs ago they said yes, for .49 they'd be wiping along with the patch that stops duping. Thus the world (apparently) will be cleansed of hacked mags and duped items. Here's what they actually said about it. Here's the Devblog where it's talked about: http://dayz.com/blog/status-report-week-of-18-august-14

Straight from the mouth of Dean himself. Listen, learn, enjoy.

So I'm in Polana (had just ran into a bunch of teleporters on "Grey Matter LOOT LOOT LOOT 24/7 DAY 124737" and logged instead into "#Royal22e.com Serveur [R22R] Quebec/Montreal", another high pop server, think it was 38/40 when I joined). I'm around the fire station dealing with a zed and I run into the invisible zed issue, it's beating me senseless and I can't see it so I retreat up both ladders on the fire station to the top and bandage then go prone and start eating (my vision had gone a little fuzzy). I eat and I eat, and after a bit I'm healing. Good. I take a second to check something on my phone when I hear that gun go off that sounds like a glorified potato gun (I've never found one, for the life of me I don't know what it's called either, no gun I've found sounds like that). Pah-ching! Misses! Holy hell, I'm on the top of the firestation prone, there's no other buildings in Polana high enough to snipe me from! ... errr, wait, there's the industrial / grain towers in Novo that someone might be able to reach from with an LRS. F! I scramble down the first ladder dancing up and down as I go, he keeps missing, by what seems just a foot here or there. I get down the top ladder, race across the roof, and get down the second ladder. He must not be able to see me anymore. Phew! ... but I've gotta know, where exactly IS he? I wait a bit, then navigate to where I have a vantage that's unsuspecting and break out my binoculars. I'm looking, looking, looking. Then I see someone on the rocks, WAAAAAY out to the right of Novo. It's gotta be the sniper (wish i'd gotten a screenshot through the binoculars of him). The Mosin with LRS can reach 800 meters, can it not? This guy put in an epic attempt if I'm looking at this correctly. If only I had an LRS for my Mosin to make a game out of it... Moral of the story is, I always say never assume you're alone, and apparently when someone has an LRS never assume there's not cross hairs on you from another TOWN!

Yeah you're right. I call half the things the wrong name. It is Cernaya Polana, The CP, you're right, not the plain "Polana".

Well, a detail I neglected to mention was to deal with the invisible zed I had to get behind a closed door and on a 2nd floor and camp and re-join the server. He could have moved in the minute that took but I doubt it. It was the only person I could see in a location where they could see me on the firestation roof.

Happens a lot when it's cloudy out I've found, and early morning late afternoon.

Teleporters in Polana right now! lastMPServerName="Grey Matter LOOT LOOT LOOT 24/7 DAY 124737";"08/22/2014 11:23 AM"

Just ran into a few on Grey Matter, they're logged in right now glitching all over in Polana. lastMPServerName="Grey Matter LOOT LOOT LOOT 24/7 DAY 124737"; "08/22/2014 11:23 AM" (EST of course)

Oh yeah, powdered milk! You can eat that stuff! Although come to think of it I've not looted any in quite some time. Hmmm...

Well DayZ seems lacking in the dairy department as well. Beggers can't be choosers in the apocalypse.... I'm still looking for that last Twinkie.

Yeah - this, and the fun/risk of it. When someone tries to hold me up and cuff me or something I respect the effort and balls that takes and am more likely to submit than run or fight. Sometimes I just want to see what the guy is going to say or do. I've managed to cuff someone twice, and both times was hilarious. One time I left the key in front of him and another time I force fed him some rotten fruit and ran off laughing (after taking whatever gear I needed). It's ok if some people are KOS or COD style of that's how they prefer to play, but it's gotten so rampant the last time someone tried to hold me up or cuff me was over 3 months ago, the game is so infested with dupers, hackers, and COD fans and everyone is now like that South Park episode, "He's coming right for us!" and shooting anything that moves, which is ruining the game. I'm so happy the roadmap to .49 includes removal of bugged mags and duped items as well as fixing duping.

That's your opinion, and it's incorrect. From the website directly: If this was just PvP there wouldn't be zombies, there wouldn't be various survival elements (fishing, hunting, crafting), there wouldn't be items and mechanics that ENCOURAGE interaction and not PvP (F key animations, handcuffs, burlap sacks, etc). And this, my friend, is why people say it's not COD, it's not KOS, and exactly the reason why people who claim otherwise are laughably and utterly incorrect.

That's why they implemented the ability to cut down trees. Cut them down, cut them all down! Ax is ruined, crap, get me another ax! Oh, there's another survivor, he has one... *BOOM* Great, looted a pristine ax! ... continue chopping trees down!

Macs are for MP3's and movies, not games. :blush:

There's no link or way to tell their steam ID / name from their in game name. Your best bet is to post their names here and hope they see it and keep an eye out for them in game. To be honest it's going to be an uphill battle to find them because there is no global chat or way to contact them in game other than seeing them in the player list and somehow locating them as you blindly fumble from city to city. Your chances are better of getting struck my lightning. There should be a way to do it though... maybe on the forums there could be a "Have you seen me?" kinda like they put the kids on the milk cartons.
