Updated the first post, thanks for the *really* useful response :rolleyes:

The video describes it, but we were in a gunfight so retreated to a building to bandage and recover. After being there a couple of minutes someone starting glitching through the walls and shooting at us, our guns were put away so we ran. The hacker then sped to us and shot us, we both tried to get our guns out when we were on the beach but they were put away again.

The last one was, that's why I shot his back through the wall!

Only ones I've seen are after killing someone that had one.

What exploit? My FoV is always sat at the same value, I don't change it to try and gain an advantage, I play with it on a setting that feels comfortable and gives me a good range of vision.

Exactly this.

You need to be the one in control of the situation and be aware of your surroundings. You've already picked up on the main error you made which was backing yourself in to a corner, especially with a slow fire rate weapon such as a Mosin. The game closing and glitching unfortunately happens, alpha etc etc, so not much you can do there. I was being chased by a few bandits a couple of weeks back, rather than turning and firing regularly at them I kept running until I got far enough away to be able to pick them off, video link below:

There are plenty of servers using hardcore rules, I think I've got 7 or 8 in my favourites list with plenty more active in the main server list, so really don't know what you're moaning about.

Couple of different ones. Back when Elektro was the place to be in DayZ, I went on to sniper hill as we'd seen people shooting from the firestation nearby. I lay down behind my friends when one of them turned around and shot me in the face. Turned out they weren't my friends as they were actually in a completely different place looking at the other fire station. and then: 2 of us were on the coast near Kamy, my friend had a mosin and an M4 on him running around near the road, I was looting the houses. A bambi ran up and started talking to my friend, so my friend tried to handcuff him. Obviously as he had 2 primary weapons he dropped the M4 in front of the bambi, who took advantage, grabbed it and ran off. I managed to kill him with my pistol but not before he'd ruined my backpack.

We tend to take the ammo, then hide the body and then dump the ammo randomly in places that people won't look for it.

It's the petrol station. If you blow it up, there are explosions every few minutes.

Funniest moment for me was when myself and a friend were messing around as new spawns on the construction site near Berezinho. Someone started shooting at us, so we tracked him down and ran after him for 25 minutes whilst stripped off. Here's a video of it, sped up 6 times just so it's not a ridiculous length:

We found around 4 billion M4 rounds. So we just split them down and dumped them across various backpacks/bodies as we come across them and let the server reboot remove them from the game.

Dean did say fireplaces would be in by end of April, however that wasn't a promise date, it was an hopeful date. Unfortunately the more people want new things faster, the more likely things are to break.

That graphics card isn't going to be helping you at all. I've got a 7950HD and still only get 30-40 FPS in some of the cities.

The *game* hasn't been released. Simple as that.

We're a small group of friends that play DayZ in various styles, some like to be friendly, some like to be bandits. All styles are welcome. Come join in and don't forget to BARK if you're friendly

Hey, yeah I recognise your name from in-game. Unfortunately we're likely to be getting rid of our server in a few weeks, it's too expensive for 2 people to keep going really.

Just to back up my previous post, DayZ is at this moment the 9th most played game today on Steam http://store.steampowered.com/stats/?snr=1_steam_4__110

Really it's not dead at all, there are plenty of full servers out there still and lots of players. The silent majority understand that development takes time and that they can't just suddenly release everything that people want.

Really? You think that they are taking 'holidays'? In fact, no. I'm not even bothering now. I'm out and will stop feeding the trolls.

You didn't play it for more than 2 months, you had it uninstalled, it's your favourite game, it's bullshit.... which one? Even with all the money from people buying this game, you can't just instantly have a finished game. Development takes time.

Do you have a link to the stream?

Where has I said swearing is bannedin my world? What I have said is that I prefer to convey a message without resorting to petty exchanges that a pre-teen could get involved in. If the situation calls for it, then yeah, swear your fucking heart out. Anyway, going completely off-topic here. Sorry mods.

It doesn't upset me, it's just a very poor way of conveying a message. Also shows quite a childish outlook. Constructive posts will nearly always get more attention that those where someone is just acting a tool. *post edited
