You should pay attention to the first two post below your OP. I will add some insight into some things you should start immediately thinking about. General Rules: 1) Never spawn in a city (towns are ok but personally I never do when alone), always log out somewhere with the best view of the area 2) GET OFF THE COAST 3) Elecktro and Cherno are NOT friendly places. The only time you should be there is if you spawned there (leave), or you are well kitted, with a team and prepared to die. 4) Find some people to play with, the game is SOOOO much more fun and there are plenty of communities recruiting. This is good, if you learn from your mistakes. EVERY time you die, you should analysis why, how and what you should have done better. From your post it seems you are struggling to identify those and it is happening way too often. Good you learned something, never go in them again.... EVER! This is probably the most infamous hill in Chernarus, you are ill-equipped, you are out manned, your situational awareness needs work, you deserved to die. As AtomQuark states they probably saw you run there. Just don't go there. I really want to drive home NinjaTurkey's post here. Running around on low pop servers gives you a false sense of security, it really is a very bad training ground. Hit high pop servers as much as you can, slow your game down, scout out towns and villages before looting them and get in and get out as quick as possible. Secondly NEVER snipe from tops of buildings, I never go on tops of buildings ever and here's why. - Ladders, too easy to fall and die or break your legs - Totally vulnerable while climbing up and down - You aint as hidden as you think you are. - It is the first place most experienced places look at from high vantage points cause we all know scrubs like to snipe from there. We will kill you before you even know we are there. I have killed more people on roofs than in other spot and I won't even loot your body cause it is too bloody risky - If you get into a fire fight you are screwed. You can't go down the ladder as you are vulnerable and you can't log out as you will stand up. Either way resulting in your death. So to recap: - Stay away from ladders, roofs, cherno, elektro, low pop servers, green guard towers - Pick better log out points. Under trees, outside of towns with a good vantage point overlooking your area. - Look around you more, you should be constantly looking 360 around you. Stay in tree lines, never run on roads and paths. - GET OFF THE COAST Then work out how they are seeing you. Retrace your steps and one of the golden rules of DayZ is to act you are being watched the entire time, make it hard for people to follow you. Don't be predictable. Anyway that is enough out of me, Watch some of my videos and you will see how often people think they aren't being watched and how some teams have multiple overwatch positions covering all angles, team members in other strategic areas. If you watch what we do you can see what to avoid. Hope that helps and good luck

The heating mechanic has definitely changed since the upgrade of .51 to .52. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature In .51 it would take 1-3 minutes to go from soaking cold to hot In .52 it now takes much much longer. I was unable to get to hot status after 30 mins sitting next to the fire. My clothes did completely dry in that time though. From soaking -> wet -> Damp and then no status. Points to note (May or may not have been tested): Take gloves off when sitting next to fire Do not have gun in hands when sitting next to fire Do not drink from ponds, lakes, streams as you get wet far to easily and then trying to remove the shaking is a nightmare. Always drink from fountains. All clothes have a heat comfort value assigned to them so you will heat up faster/slower depending on what you are wearing. Morphine does nothing to fix shaking so don't waste it but I do suspect antibiotics or pain killers might.

I bet there won't be underground bases so don't get your hopes up.

Not at all. I am suggesting that it take 2 raiders equivalent of 25hrs each to DESTROY the whole fortress/base. To raid people only need to break portions of the base. Raiding a well thought out and constructed base should be no easy task, otherwise you are saying that the game should benefit casual players, thats BS. Again NO! That is not equal is it. Think about it. 5 hrs for a complete base = 5 hrs to complete destruction. To breach would be far far less as you only need to destroy one segment of a wall. My point is you don't need to completely destroy a base to raid it the only people who want to completely destroy is griefers (or pissed off admins) and if they want to do that (cool) but it should be just as hard as building it or you will get mass people leaving the game. I have seen it happen many a time. They might as well have no base building at all, if that is the case.

Why to completely misunderstand :thumbsup: Why should game mechanics be built around you're sensitivity to griefers? - Im not sensitive to griefers at all, if you had seen any of my videos you would know I am one. Why is griefing a problem? - It's not, it can be though. Imbalanced game mechanics make people stop playing the game and therefore leaving me with less people to kill.... i don't like having less people to kill Bases are end game. - There is no such thing in DayZ If you finish your base and it never gets destroyed, you've essentially ended the game. - See above When your base gets fucked with, you have more to do. - Einstein over here :thumbsup: What doesn't make sense is clans being able to put 100s of man hours into a base which makes it impossible for less... dedicated players (or newer to the hive) to breach their fortifications. - What doesn't make sense is your entire sentence. Try again.

I have no problem with building what ever you like, You want to build big fuck off sky buildings then be prepared to be targeted by 90% of the population, especially when heli's come into effect. I just pray for the following - NO domes of protection, like epoch, if you can find a way in undetected then you should be able to raid peoples bases. - Craft time should be near or equal to destruction time/resources eg If a wall can be knocked down in 3 seconds then the wall should take 3 seconds to build otherwise you get griefers whose sole purpose is just to go around destroy peoples hard work. If a wall needs c4 to be destroyed then the craft time of the c4 should be similar to the craft time of the wall etc etc - You should be able to camouflage your building with paint nets etc

Bro's before... - probably someone

My pleasure :thumbsup: Agreed and if you have a team you can use it to name positions and locate exactly where your other guys are. Not sure dayzDB does that now but it never used to.

After further research it is only happening on HC servers not reg. It is not at server restarts, I haven't experienced one of those since coming back to the game after a LONG time away. I will play for 5-10 minutes then get disconnected from server. But I will try waiting a little bit longer next time when it happens to see if your advice works for me, thanks.

Yup same here. I get the message and sometimes my character resets and sometimes it doesn't.

No that is a mod of a mod. There was no humanity system in Dean Halls DayZ. Plus when the humanity system was introduced, there was plenty to do in the game. In this stage of the alpha KoS is really the only thing to do.

1) This game has always been like this. ALWAYS. 2) Buy 7D2D, it sounds perfect for you people not wanting so much KoS. It is a really enjoyable game too.

This, so much this. The game "allows" your suggestion to happen without forcing it and when base building is introduced (afaik) ZOmbies won't spawn inside of it.

Wow, I thought Australia was immature and racist. Can't say I have experienced any of that in the 480 odd hours I have played the SA or the 1000's of hours I played the mod. Geez with hackers, racists, sexist and immature players you guys deal with in Europe, I am surprised anyone plays. lol However in saying all that, the player interaction in this game is 95% KoS and people will make up any excuse to justify to themselves that shooting you was the right thing to do. "Oh you were wearing a mask, oh you were wearing camo, oh you were a pink tutu, oh you had a backpack, oh you are black, oh you are a girl, oh you were breathing". I am sorry you feel that way about leaving as I enjoy playing with girls as they bring another element to the game and all I can say is don't take it personal and find a group to play with. The game is soooo much better playing as a group than lone wolfing. GL

MP hand guard is what you want.

Yup and it never gets boring lol http://youtu.be/uSy7o48J0ys?t=1m52s

I duel face to face with everyone, hundreds and hundreds of kills, double death less than 5%. Seems about right to me.

I DONT LIKE HOW EVERYONE IS PLAYING THE GAME SO I WANT TO CHANGE TO HOW I WANT TO PLAY IT.

They wouldn't even be stupid enough to implement in the first place. A stupid solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

This is will not happen as discussed by the Dev's multiple times. However there will be some balancing during BETA phase but you will be disappointed as it is not going to be anywhere near what you hope for. Just on that, if you make mil spec weapons super rare then what will happen is one or two people will rule the server.

Mostly yes. In this situation abso-fucking-lutely If you had watched anyone of the countless interviews you would already know the dev's view on the. KoS is NOT a problem, bandditry is NOT a problem, Death matching is NOT a problem (however will be reduced when the balance the spawns). If you paid attention then you would know that Dean would never reward NICENESS. Fucking LOL! You should listen to General Zod below.

Thank god the dev's are ignoring these ridiculous suggestions.

It would not be dayZ without this lol

There's no way (as far as I know) to know who killed who. Unless of course it was a low pop server. Sounds suspect as hell though and you should report it even if nothing comes from it.
