Hey guys, since upgrading to the latest build, i can't seem to stay connected to any server (low ping EU) for more than about five minutes without losing connection, the old red chain followed by no message recieved etc then boot. Would have put it down to normal issues, but never had problem before and now it's constant?

"Defense methodology for naysayers: Simply respond to all blatantly valid criticisms and complaints with statements along the lines of "its an alpha shut up, I'm in charge" along with the followers of the mod who are stupid enough to believe that this is an acceptable form of logic. And label anyone with reasonable issues with the unrealistic difficulty curve as "carebears" and belittle them." Let's not beat around the bush here....you're an idiot!

Rule Britannia etc! I have to admit that as a Brit i have met just as many friendlies from the states as well as from certain parts of mainland europe....but those bloody germans though! :P

Chaotic Good Chaotic Good is known as the "Beatific," "Rebel," or "Cynic" alignment. A Chaotic Good character favors change for a greater good, disdains bureaucratic organizations that get in the way of social improvement, and places a high value on personal freedom, not only for oneself, but for others as well. They always intend to do the right thing, but their methods are generally disorganized and often out of alignment with the rest of society. They may create conflict in a team if they feel they are being pushed around, and often view extensive organization and planning as pointless, preferring to improvise. That's me!

I have never been shot as a starter survivor, i can only assume these people and the op complaining about being killed for nothing are venturing into the wrong areas for a quick buck! When you spawn on the coast, instead of running hell for leather at Cherno or Eleckto or Balota, try heading north into the wilderness! You are only making things difficult for yourself by giving yourself up to the douchebags who patrol those areas looking for a quick kill and a chance to spoil your day. It's a survival/social experiment mod not a FPS, i'm sorry but all these people complaining about being killed only have themselves to blame!

This is something that definitely needs addressing, one barn three zombies, on killing the last zombie, about twenty or so spawn from nowhere and completely fuck us! Closing doors did no good as the newly spawned magic zombies just teleported right through them :D Yes yes i know alpha blah blah :P

Obviously the OP's first language isn't english, but he does now go down as creating one of the most incomprehensible and quite frankly crazy ass posts i have read here! +1 for Utter Madness! :D

Sorry I am no bandit and refuse to turn to a life of crime just for entertainment value. Iv'e been beaten to it, but yes as others have mentioned...hunt bandits and pk'ers! Not only will you get the satisfaction and joy of playing paladin but knowing those scumbags are wailing like stuck pigs when you pop 'em is oh soooo sweeeeeet! :D

Damn that made my day! :D

As an experiment of sorts, i broke from my usual group and went solo for a few days, boy oh boy do you need the patience of a saint now! Out of twelve encounters with other "humans" nine ended in bloodshed and death (mine)...that's not a healthy statistic. On all occasions i have refused to fire and attempted communications through type and voice, of the three encounters that didn't end in a premature death two had the other survivors running like hell away and the third one the guy stopped and talked. We got on like a house on fire and successfully foraged some great gear (nice one Toxic77 if your reading this) I'm gonna stick out the "carebear" role from now on unless it's completely obvious the douche needs capping, making friends on DayZ is a helluva lot more fun than playing deathmatch or acting like a klutz!

Anyone In Cherno know where i can get one of these? http://southcoastbeanwars.com/day-z-news/anyone-in-cherno-rockets-new-dayz-tshirt-line/ :D

I'm watching a guy playing DayZ on a live stream, the guy has 560 viewers his modus operandi is, spawn log off, spawn log off, spawn log off, spawn log off, till he's at Cherno/Electro or Balota, he then charges in training zombies (absolutely not a care in the world) heading for obviously very rehearsed weapon spawn points! Under fire he logs out and does the same thing over and over again until he finds a gun, he then plays TDM.... All this with 500 odd viewers all cheering him on and braying about downloading Arma II etc, i'm not here to deride this idiots gameplay choice, but it's not giving out a good impression, and that's a lot of viewers, it depressed the hell out of me to be shot down in flames in his comment box when i asked him to " try and survive beyond five minutes" most of the comments went along the lines of "where's the fun in that" Each to their own obviously but something inside me kinda gave out. I know the tards have been playing like this for a while, but to watch it first hand is just grim, maybe cut half the loot spawns in the coastal towns and force these people into survival mode, is it any wonder you hardly ever see another person north of Cherno.

Was gonna reply with the usual "it's prolly lag" comment, but after the other night i'm not so sure, three friends open up on a prone guy, he's hit by AK rounds, shotgun shells and pistol rounds, all at close range and all in the head area... Prone guys shoots and kills all three survivors stands up and walks away!

Five servers in a row all blaring fuck awful techno with shitfaced assholes yelling and screaming over the comms! Try another. Waiting for host! Waiting for host! Waiting for host! Ad infinitum. I know we're getting popular but this is fecking ridiculous! :@

Maybe not from one of you DayZ kiddies sure. As a long time OPF/Arma player, you lost me there, obviously your not as honourable as you make out, if you have a serious grievance, email BIS or contact one of the DayZ team, or you can post in the ban appeals thread below! I know what hacked gear in game looks like but before i started playing i checked weapon lists and what gear/guns was in and what was out! I then refused to use anything i found not on the list. Your "friends" own ineptitude was his undoing (or was it?)

There needs to be more! At the moment it's stupidly easy to break a bone, last night three team members broke bones and we had a firefight with a guy who was also crippled with a broken bone :P We have found one morphine injector in over ten hours of playtime and suffered more fractures due to bugs and zombies than i can count. Here's a weird one,two of us enter a barn, we are making our way silently to the top (undetected) then "crack" "crack" we both break our legs!... It'll be fixed (shame our legs won't be) but in the meantime it's hilariously broken :D

This seems to be the general consensus now, our group has gone from a helpful band of survivors always willing to chip in and lay down arms to a bunch of cold blooded shoot on sight killers, something i and the gang regret immeasurably. Earlier in the game strangers were more inclined to help each other but lately something has definitely changed with 99.9% of people we encounter just opening up even if we state friendly intentions through voice comms. Maybe it's the larger population of deathmatch sprogs now getting involved due to the mods popularity or maybe it really is a chilling depiction of humanity at it's lowest!

Been trying this every which way and keep getting: Error creating direct 3D 9 graphical engine? Game then crashes...oh it's the retail version by the way and running on Vista :blush:
