actually there is nothing special there but the military office. Everything else is just wild imagination from players who play not enough and therefore spend their times otherwise....with spinning stories.

I kill them regardless if they are armed or not, shouting friendly or whatever. Everyone hiding his face will die, esp clown masks I also may add to your guide that the number of players in a group make a diffrence too. The larger the group, the more likley it is that it has someone going astray from a group*s "no kos"-policy or atleast "no-bambi-kos". Also its more likley they will have a member thats trying to convince the others to kill you. A single player or a duo is less likley to kill you.

Yea there is a point. If you are very close up you can kill an AKM guy more quickly and reliably than with a mosin or SKS. They extra turning speed and stability can mean everything. Also the rate of fire is high. The only real problem is the bug with pistols, that keeps your character putting away your pistol. That can kill you. Ive been quite successful with the FNX inside of buildings.

The game killed your config and will do so often enough in this patch. Go to your dayz config folder and make it "read-only" In my case: C:\Users\Alexander\Documents\DayZ rightclick the file with your computername and check "read only". If you do that, none of the changes you make to gamesettings will be saved (If you close the game, it will be like you never changed anything). So do this after you set everything up the way you want to. Anyway, once you did that the game can not destroy your config again.

"hard working" blablabla, have you taken your statement directly from a politician? How do you know that guy contributed nothing, maybe he just went crazy this one time. German police would have never shot this guy. They also fired another time when he was down already. However he has a good chance of surviving this if they helped him....

Thats not true. If there are no dupers there the server will work fine. THere are some vids out there where 40 players meet in one place, and I myself have been in a meeting with 15 players and we traded stuff.

clearly need it and it will come once x64 servers are in place. If not, this game has no future Imo. Im fucking tired taking on the eventual solo scrub at the NWAF.

Yes it is. The fallingdamage is a mess, avoid falling from anything more than 10 cm.

The sun is fine and I always nav with it. Check the time on the server. If it's morning the sun is slightly to the east, if its afternoon, its southwest. If you are at the coast and the sun is to your right, you failed. The sun is always more aligned to the south, so if you go west, it's always left of you,

Wrong attribution. Look, yesterday someone stormed my building. He kind of bumped into me, he was armed to the teeth but he said he needed help. I put my gun down and we talked, apparently he had food poisoning (his name was bear gylls.. he tried eating raw meat..like bear gylls does :D ) and I could advice him to drink so much water until he vormits. It worked at first but the foodpoisoning was too long ago already so it entered his bloodstream and we needed charcoal. That said: We had something to do, we had a task at hand, trying to save his life fighting the sickness and I could actually help him without supplies by just providing the knowledge about the vormiting and a nearby well. If your friendlyness is not experienced as being effective, people will stop doing it. People are opportunists and the psychological reward of accomplishment can be achieved by being friendly, but you need an opportunity for your help to feel effective...like helping someone poisoned. But you and I know that no experienced player will ever get foodpoisoned, thus the opportunity for helpful behaviour is diminished, This may change once they reintroduce true sicknesses and viruses. ------------ Note that before this friendly encounter I killed 3 people with headshots and took their shit. I was low on equipment and having a team of 3 potentially hostile guys around is too risky. In my defense: they wore gasmasks (= KILL THE MASKS!) Note also that I recently neglected this rule, was feeling to good with my MP5k and shitloads of mags for it, found someone, he said he was friendly. He didn't harm me, but he went to the well and drank something, i covered him. We talked shortly before that, he said his english was bad. I asked if he was french, he said yes. I told him I'm german. Anyway, then when I drank from the well, he headshotted me and told me how he hates germans. I never really trusted him because he seemed overexicted about my weapon and I wanted to bait him...i just forgot you can't cancel the drinking animation >.<

No doubt about that Hombre, but in most players that hope is weak.

Would be kind of cool but...I dunno, will THAT make you take the risks of being friendly? I really doubt it. Any ingame system that rates your behaviour is doomed imo, as it can not distinguish true interactions or just you exploiting the system together with your friends. Also the potential complex friendly behaviour can never be statisfactory covered by an ingame system :/ If its spotting bandits, saving hostages, sharing food, giving advice or more stuff I can't think of now. An ingame system will never statisfy.

Nope, never affected my behaviour in DayZero and I'm glad its gone. I don't wanna be forced to wear some ugly crap. edit: It kind of freakes me out that I can't even come up with a suggestion, being the wiseass that I am.

Playing on regular obviously...btw, the hacker infestation is worse there,

The problem of mostly pointless friendly behaviour persists. Imagine Id have met you and I was friendly and unarmed but not interested in teaming up (just like those guys, it seems). How boring would this meeting be? It would have all components of what you described, but no reward. You wouldn't tell anyone about our amazing friendly encounter. This game needs a reason to be friendly to strangers. There currently is none except for grouping up. But when you are acompanied by your friends, there really is no convincing reason to be friendly to strangers.

This fucking carebear, fanboi forum XD perfectly fine vid. Everytime reminding me why the devs don't post here :D Obviously all those guns they keep implementing are for adorning players so they just LOOK dangerous!

Gasmasks conceal your face and many people, including myself, have a "KOS gasmasks and clownmasks without mercy, even if they have a showel only." So, don't conceal your face if you do not have sinister intent. Make improvised Backpacks for low profile silhouettes and that badass survival look. Wear Chestholders if you can't find a vest for extra protection. Avoid people with bad english. If the communication fails too often, people will get bored with your presence and shoot you. Look for cues in their voice (comes with experience). If you have a shiny weapon, say "look what I got here, isnt it awesome?" and watch their reaction. If they are overly fascinated, they want your gun and will kill you the second you look the other way. Another tip: If you want to avoid your attachment for now, play hardcore or experimental. You'll start out as a freshspawn there and can play, while your shiny character is still there, laying in wait, ready for your friends to come online and play together.

If you have a ton of gear but you arent going to hunt people down, next time you might consider just not looting as much. Less attachment to your stuff and less desirable for other players to kill you. If you want interaction, i suggest using pistols or MP5 only, since you can conceal them easily and wear only civilian clothing. Also, everyone has felt this way and occasionally the feeling comes back. Esp when you lived a long live. And sidenote: You may soon find that this game alone is not only boring, but frustrating. Whenever you fight someone, it's almost always two people. And the extra pair of eyes is worth everything in DayZ.

I couldnt even find regular experimental servers that are full anymore

All good moments in dayz end with a hacker taking all the shit you just obtained in a hard battle.

They do have diffrent hives, unless you mean something diffrent by private servers or Im horribly mistaken. (which generally is unlikley :D )

And certainly glasses shouldn't save from headshots. If the damagereductionsystem wouldnt be so complicated...who knows, maybe we would have faster damageprocessing then to avoid situations like the typical closequarters double KO. My most recent situation. AKM guy and I shoot at eachother from 5 meters distance. He went down and stopped shooting. Then his dead corpse released one more bullet...right into my head. When i came back for my equipment, only my hat was ruined...say what? All hail the FNX though. He shot at me first, surprised me, incredible how I came out on top..until the undead-headshot....

I think the damage is inconsistent in general. I had similar issues, but since the AKM is more common now, mostly with the AKM. Or atleast thats the cause I attribute it to so far. I heard many reports from friends who said that "this guy survived 16 shots of my AKM", so maybe you are on to something. Before my M4 was taken from me by hackers, I had similar issues though when I thought "How the hell is he still alive?". Seems to be the case since the infamous .45 patch. Maybe its an illusion though. You mightve hit the arms, doing almost no damage, but showing bleeding.

Saw 3 kids yesterday with duped infinite ammo M4s. Also, Invisibility hack, instant knockout and speedhacking are still there. Encountered two hackers yesterday within 3 hours of play, I believe, one ACT wallglitcher and said 3 infinite ammo kids. So far I didnt encounter the stripping of a conscious player-hack. It may be that the infinite ammo mags are made before your countermeasures and are duped since. If you empty one of those mags, the ammo vanishes into the warp. That was on stable 0.46, regular.

Weaponpart conditions are irrelevant.
