My wife, asking me to 'Come here for a minute', 'Can you put one of the dogs out', 'OMG IT'S A SPIDER'.......

Why does everyone want to water down what makes DayZ great, and oh so unique?

Part of the appeal to this game is the RISK of loosing EVERYTHING at any moment. If you want to protect your camps, maybe you should physically guard them, recruit clan members in different time zones, and form a 'watch' rotation? All the wiretraps, towers, etc, they just make your camp easier to spot anyway. Ultimately, I like the idea of survivors banding together to retake towns or form settlements. But those settlements will ALWAYS be a target for bandits, and a smart bandit group will wait till the wee hours of the night, when defenses are at a minimum, then strike. Don't put false hope in walls, towers, and wire fencing. Keep what is dear to you on your back, and keep moving.

Look at their whole post..., the old title is by the name of the person replying. RE: List of Ghosters

If you still need help getting started and understanding the basics of this game, add me on Steam. My Steam ID is in my sig.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=19358 I already made a suggestion about making the vest pouches tool slot items. Good idea though, great minds think alike :cool:

Add me on Steam, my user ID can be found in my sig. I'd be glad to show you around the game and help you get your feet wet. My first tip. Be prepared to die, and to die alot. Secondly, Be patient, this is not your typical 'shooter'. The controls can be difficult at first, play the training missions for ArmA II. I have seen alot of frustrated players who are expecting to be behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang with an automatic transmission and find themselves driving a Ferarri 458 Italia. Lastly, grab the two DLC packs for Operation Arrowhead if you don't already have them. Don't get me wrong, DayZ is a great mod, but there are so many other great mods for this game. Alot of them do however require the DLC. DayZ does not.

10 or so Including my boss, and HIS boss. I wonder if it improves the likelyhood of a better raise in the next few months....

Welcome to DayZ! Now dive in a little deeper, grab the two DLC packs for Operation Arrowhead! There are some MASSIVE co-op 'Domination' servers and several other solid mods like Project Reality.

I'll have to try this fabled 'looking through walls' thing when I get home from work later. Last time I checked the camera collides with the wall and actually prevents you from seeing through it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_camera_system#Third-person_view http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploit_(video_gaming) Your arguement invalidates itself. Third person is a mechanic that is built into the game. The whole purpose of 'third person' is to allow you a broader view of your character and the environment. Can someone just channel the spirit of the Exhalted One (aka Rocket), to tell this numbskull that this is part of the games design. Rage less, play more. Furthermore, how would you even KNOW if you were killed by a player who 'server hopped' between 1st and 3rd person servers just to grab loot? Do you see black helicopters everywhere you go too?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARMA_2 Not an FPS TACTICAL SHOOTER, MILITARY SIMULATION, OPEN WORLD Your opinion, is in fact, not fact. Wrap your feeble little mind around that.

You owe me 5 min of my live back...

It's not an exploit..... your opinion does not make it so. It is a server side option, plain and simple.

Free "Bonus" DLC if you Pre-Order ArmA III !!! Studio Developed I refuse to play any subscription based games, and the 'free 2 play' model where you 'buy' your gear doesn't feel like a good fit for DayZ.

No. Leave it optional. If I wanna have fun, I pick a 3P enabled server. If I feel like a suicidal maniac, I pick a 3P disabled server w/ no player nametags. Variety is the spice of life...

Add me on Steam FedEx Ninja I have a website/forums that are still a WIP, ethumb.net, as well as a semi-private TS3 server. I'd like to get a little clan together for DayZ, ArmA II, Planetside 2, GRO, etc. I work 60+ hours during the week, and usually play Sat. & Sun. nights from approx. 10 PM CST to 2 am CST, after the wife and baby are settled and in bed.

#1. As many others have already stated, once 'server hopping' and the other exploits, (definition of exploit to follow), are nerfed/patched/fixed the 'high loot' zones will be hard enough to loot in small groups or solo. #2. This should have been posted in the Suggestions area.... not General Discussion #3. Zombies/Infected should never have firearms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploit_(video_gaming)

Having a 'spawn point' close to gear you've stashed contradicts the term permadeath.

They can be found in Supermarkets. Place it wisely, anyone can loot it after you put it down. Some bandit groups make a whole game of server hopping, looting tents, and hording things away like friggen squirrels. Me..., I prefer to live out of my backpack. Tents just aren't a reliable means to safely store items for later use. I would like to 'bury' a cache of weapons in a backpack. A whole meta-game of geocaching would result from that too though. Carry what you need, leave what you don't behind for the next fella.
