Seen this for months. Nothing new. The other guys are just a little but more subtile here and there. But I had people teleport right infront of me, then i shoot at them, they teleport 30 meters to the left, then behind me, then behind me again after I turn towards them. And after looting my, they ran off the THE FLASH over the elektro hills. This is why you should avoid elektro. I happened to play with a Hacker for a couple days, and after a few minutes only, I thought he is fishy somehow. It took me like 4 days or so to get really in a fight with him about things he cannot know, and he insisted he does not hack, as he always did when I hinted that he is hacking. Two minutes later, BE banned him globally for hacking. Its good to see that BE does indeed work. Our concern shouldn't be banning this one guy, but to get Battleeye to detect this hack. And we really need more means to find out names. Its sad that we can't trace anyone really now that you can change your Ingame name anytime, you can not trace them back to Steam.

Dissapearing corpses hardly have anything to do with permadeath. Other players will likley loot or hide your corpse (there you have your permadeath), so you might take whats left. And if you have friends there, there are still and will always be ways to get all the gear back, if they can hold the position. I suggest 20-45min until corspes dissapear, but they should dissapear after 5-10min when there is less than 8 Items or so on them. Why? To help the server handle all those corpses who commited suicide. So I agree with Rauchsauger there. Seriously guys, get your fanboism under control. The OP didn't make the best post, but he has a point. Everyone I played with so far thought that the 10min timer is hillariously short. Also doctor3d, to answer your question, but speaking for myself: I'm here for pvp aswell, but nothing is as intense as dayz, not arma2 or whatever. And why? Because of permadeath. Also on flies: NO WAY. We got rid of that and that's good. It was like that for a long time in dayz and everyone hated the annoying loud flies on the corpses you can't get rid of. Also corpses would hardly decay in 2 hours or so.

First of all. Let me get to Carryhandle or BUIS. You will notice that any reddot sight has a seemingly slight zoom. Thats the same soon as if you'd press + (or double + to toggle zoom). With Ironsights this is not possible. Meaning red dot sight has a slight disadvantage over BUIS, very close up, but is better for most other situations. Most of the time though, very close up I'd just spray like insane with the white dot while I'm strafing. BUT this is not counterstrike. Avoid such very close up encounters whenever possible. You need to seize any advantage available, and usually this close up it just comes down to who has the bigger magazine. I had such a battle very recently. We both had M4s and stood basicly right infront of eachother, strafing and spraying. Somehow we both lasted about 3-4 seconds (which is extremly long) and then both fell to the ground unconscious, getting eaten by zombies. The CQB Buttstock might have helped there to reduce the white dot's dancing around my screen while i was strafing. For me aiming with the white dot has a better performance in therms of frames per second. When I scope in, the framerate drops and I can hardly hit a moving target.

Look. I fixed that for you :)

Why did i do this to myself... I hate watching noobs. I think I saw you today at berenzino habour.

Yea its true, conditions don't seem to matter at all. I never care for conditions and my weapon hits on-spot as it should.The only condition to matter is ruined ofc. That basicly treats any part/clothing as if it was not even there...ever tried shooting an M4 without a handguard or a buttstock? It's hillarious.

To sum it up: Magpul handguard and Buttstock make the accuracy. NOTHING else, not even partconditions. You can have a badly damaged handguard and it won't differ from a pristine one. Check this http://www.dayzdb.com/items?type=27-attachment -minus dispersion is always what you want.

In the Submod I played there was action on NWAF and inland, esp near Stary Sobor and Kabanino :o I blame the spawns and the nature of the lootspawns. If you can get everything you want at Balota and NEAF, why bother walk all the way? That's what people might think. I also prefered the "more effective loot" that used to be in Hospitals or Barracks. Back in the Mod, when you made the dangerous journey to a hospital, it was certain you could obtain massive quantities of highvalue medical loot. Now most abudant stuff in the hospital are rotten fruit. Its not effective. We also used to have handguns in supermarkets and basic backpacks, leading to alot of player contacts near supermarkets and core-cities. That's gone too, also way too many new supermarkets near Cherno dilute any hotspots near the city, in addition to the added hospital. Barracks, now there are many of those and anything can spawn in them. They aren't espacially valuable, except in the case where you might find a weaponupgrade there, instead of broken shoes. I'd like to see Barracks removed from Balotta again, or cut to 1, and make them very effective and dangerous Lootspawns once again. But then again, with the limited amount of weaponry, the abundance of rifles in SA in comparison to the handguns, i can't tell WHAT we would place in there. Maybe unique, SKS-only Long-range scopes rarely, and other badass stuff, like nades, binoculars and such?

+1

Achievements, can't think of something less useful. In former times you'd be given a vid sequence that you unlocked or similar, now you get a lousy "hey you actually did this! gz!"-badge. Waste of time for a dev, imo.

This story: I am dissapoint.

+1. They are so broken atm, that they should be disabled entirely. I watched a stream the other day where a sniper was standing on a hill. She had to fight Zeds most of the time and had to walk away from her position because they kept coming endlessly, even though she hardly moved in the first place (on a grass underground => barely hearable) Zeds remain unchallenging. They are annoying. I consider their runspeed all right though! But not the new Axe animations. Those broken animations make it impossible to fight Zeds in smaller Rooms and hallways, and its unpredictable where you might hit your target. Please revert the changes for the axehandling. Sorry for the effort you put in that, but right now it is not working. Also...please change their soundeffects :D Their high-pitch sounds are killing my ears, accustomed to hear for footsteps.

Zeds need to be disabled for the time being, since you can't sneak around them, unlike in the mod. They'll spot you from 400 meters range ocassionally. And no matter how hard you try to sneak around them, its impossible. They aren't "hard" or "a threat" as you stated. They are just annoying right now.

at OP: Loot does not respawn.Therefore, if you can't find foot, switch to a server that isn't utterly looted yet (restarted in the last 20min). How to spot those? Usually fresh restarts have 9 am o clock on em, or various similar times, like 11am, 1pm etc. NOT 9:44 or such. If you watch streams with people almost starving, don't watch em :p those are newbs...

Na untrue, there are countless submods...i played that one i linked before and this one which adds tons of content. never touched epoch or overwatch. heard those are a blast.

Mod's still better :/ this is why: action starts at 2:00 min

I rather would like a balaclava than this, or let me put a scarf around my mouth and nose. Gasmask = Noobindicator. Why would you wear a white mask in your all-green outfit... "PLEASE HEADSHOT ME!"

Well...he seems kinda an expert on that, so that does invalidate some claims :P He called you on climbing up on arrows, which is fine. Dayz strifes for realism. Also you linked that grapplinghook thing, unrelated to archery, as he pointed out... Also how is it unrealistic that madmen run around in a zombie apocalypse? (That's what your statement implies I believe) Many people would go nuts then, those guys are the lower end of the foodchain, just like in dayz. But I agree he didn't respond to you very politely ("steelarrows are nonesense" without further elaboration and without considering that you meant steelarrowheads), you didn't either by bringing up his job and such then. This does not relate to his job imo.

Yea its a map from the mod...the SA version should be basicly: Balota Airstrip orange, NE-Airfield and Krastostav Orange. Electro red, rest of the map utterly dead :( In the mod, the promise of the best weaponry that can spawn in a static place called players to the NW Airstrip in the first place, now on all military facilities there is the same loot, and since the militarytents don't spawn weapon upgrades anymore, its hardly worth hiking all the way up to the NWAF, with the only promise being Hangars mostly containing boots :D The best map changes Ive seen for the mod so far (and the best sub-mod in general Imo) is DAYZERO they added a hospital to zelenogorsk, balanced weapons and gave them high-res ironsights, aswell as building interiors. Also that community seems somewhat good at this game, (no bases though, sorry guys :D) Their SA servers are the most lethal servers Ive played in so far (with 200h of playtime). I heard that the devs add some more medicalstations now, let's see how that turns out. I hope those will be smaller ones. Concerning Hospitals I'd really like to see the old concept of crates of med supplies spawning there, instead of rotten fruit, and remove the new hospital near Cherno, to create hotspots once again. Imo that's the mainproblem of SA atm, no real hotspots.

I try to kill people but if they survive the engagement being unconscious, I bring them back up and let them leave. And I never deceive. Had an interesting encounter between KoSers today. I'll make very short what was a 15min encounter: Someone tried shooting me, i returned fire and landed a headshot, i ran like insane to the building he was laying in, assuming he would be unconscious. (noobish mistake yea) Unfortunatly there was another guy in the same building and i got shot as soon as I opened the door, becoming unconscious. My mate was still outside deciding what to do. After a while of threatening, talking and negotiation and asking for honor, the guys inside let my buddy patch me up and let us leave, after admitting that they are 4 guys in that building and the one I shot was infact still alive. The guy I was talking to was lying about that at first, but my friend saw atleast two diffrent guys up there, so I could call him on his bullshit. They had an interest of leaving the building, which they couldn't do with my friend waiting outside. We had an interest in saving my life and both sides kept their word. Later the guy i talked to while being unconscious added me to steamfriends, we all then met in the nearby church to discuss what just happened. So 6 honorable KoSers in one chruch, but it seems the circumstances and time spend promoted this.
