Death By Crowbar

I was on a server with 1 other person, so I assumed it was safe to trek to Balota airfield. Got there, noone around, started looting. Omw out of the control tower I see the ONLY other guy on the server trotting up to the door. Just dumb luck (even for a hot place).

That was amusing... trolling the dude with broken legs who actually HAD friends and wasn't lying made for a good watch.

Compatible games? You can't find any servers to log into or?

THAT one is known and you can find it if you search the bug tracker. There's a way to duplicate items by exploiting high ping servers and spamming escape as you log in. That's one of my main pet peeves, there are snipers with essentially endless ammo out there. But there are also "bugged' ammo/items that are unlimited, I'm not sure how that happens, but you see it on the youtube videos sometimes - Frankie's have had some and it shows him looting them off scumbags and dumping them in the woods so other people don't pick them up and use them.

Has there been any official statement on known hacking capabilities and what to watch out for? One of the things I struggle with is there's a lot of reports of near super powers type abilities and it's unclear how many or which of those are completely true or not. By volume I'm guessing there's more truth than myth, but it would be nice to know what "known" hacker capabilities are so the average player at least knows what they're up against.

Am I the only person who, as I'm scanning the landscape for movement, out of the corner of my eye think I see someone only to look and see that stupid bird flying around? That bird throws me off or spooks me all the time. I wish I could shoot that bird!

Oh and two more: 4. Just the tip, just for a minute, just to see how it feels. 5. Avoid the "worn" zuccini.

Tips I have: 1. Keep up the good work! 2. Take a day or two and randomly explore, then use online maps or in-game maps you've found and systematically plan to explore a few places, including Elektro and Berezino, as well as all 3 airfields. Something else fun - try to find a castle or some of the other neat things out there. 3. Carry spare can openers and screw drivers - those are solid gold to fresh spawns, ultimate good guy gifts.

LOL, SWEET!!! The mod looks amazing... is that building destruction too? Maybe I should be playing that instead!

You're inside a building, and you hear someone say, "Hello?" You're melee weapon only geared. What do you do? Hide inside and don't give away your position? Run out the nearest exit and zig zag for your life? Come out and say / chat "Hello!" with one hand up (a friendly sign)?I'd say I'm 50/50, well lately maybe 75/25 chances that the "Hello?" is not from someone interested in letting me live. Lately I've been running for my life.

Always channel your inner Kobayashi. Being full goes away!

I took it a step further and store that information to a log file I can go back and check.

So paid customers are idiots, huh? The reason there's idiocy here and a lot of the same questions over and over again is because 50% or more of the DayZ SA community doesn't go to Reddit nor do they care about it, they're expecting everything to be on the official forums. You go to the DayZ Standalone website (http://dayzgame.com/) and where does it send you? Not at all to Reddit, it sends you here. That's a significant MAJOR community and information management problem.

As it stands now - try for head shots, you're less likely to deal with ruined gear. If you pray and spray (especially pumping extra bullets into him, it's tough/impossible to immediately tell if someone is dead, the animations and such are too slow) you're going to end up with a lot of ruined items. Unfortunately the latter is often the way it goes and that's probably ok for now - if you pump 5 bullets into someone everything is going to have holes in it and be covered in blood anyway, likely something not lootable. Under the current system I'd like to see items likely to survive (bullets, etc) be less likely to be ruined, but that's probably wishful thinking. I'm sure that will be re-worked and improved eventually, but for now it's a deturrent against blatant KOS which is ok with me and I actually fully support.

Actually - this is a kudos moment. Great recovery to a misunderstanding!

I want to be able to set hostages a flame. Burn this place to the ground...

If his face looked like this would it be more realistic?

When you walk on them do the do damage? Like, if a guy is unconscious or restrained via cuffs as a hostage can I just start a fire on him to finish him off?

"I don't really know what to do with it"... LOL. :P

My sig. Rule #1.

Well, a couple of things on the video: You've got a couple of parts where the screen is blank and you're just talking. Fill in those parts with an image or something so people don't think the video is broken. Maybe add some suspense music/noise back in for fun in some parts (if you can).Game play thoughts: You seem to always manually grab items and put them into your inventory. To be quicker you can also simply double click them. I notice at one part in the hospital you grabbed the cereal but you missed an "empty icon" piece of loot next to it - that was probably a can of tuna. The red house with the stairs (has the piano downstairs) where you went upstairs and all 4 doors were locked - you missed the 5th door directly in the back, that's the main loot room in those houses. I think you were just turning too quickly and somehow didn't see it. When fighting zombies, don't just stand there and take a beating. Run around them in a circle while keeping a bead on them, you'll have to use your a and d keys more to strafe, but if you do that while hitting them at the same time you'll beat them up and they'll likely not even be able to hit you at all. If you only play daytime, the very first thing you should do after spawning is drop your flashlight and battery - save those 2 inventory slots if you're not playing night.

Watching you put the backpack in the backpack as you're talking is hilarious. "I don't even know what the hell I'm doing!" you said, lol.

Anyone else been getting this lately? What's even more strange is that this seems to only pop up when a player gets near me that has a motorcycle helmet on. If what appears to be happening is actually happening I'm going to stop wearing motorcycle helmets, I don't want to alert others that I'm around! Looks like it's a known bug, but it happens a lot for me: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=11429

White people don't call each other the N word, and if they do, they're in high school and don't understand what they're saying - either because they're living in ignorant areas or don't have parents who're raising them properly.

Wait, and I reading this right? TonyMahony Sokak Ben_uk cuweYou've never killed anyone? At what looked like 30+, 40+, and 100+ range hours played? Wow, that's impressive. And I thought I played rather passive. I think there's a few groups out there that are heroes only you might fit in well with, kudos! It's not a bad thing, people who aren't solely KOS are what helps make DayZ tolerable.
