I hope it becomes more survival based. It'll make gathering food and ammo from other survivors even more important. There will be a laser focus on making sure people get head-shots, so gear and goods aren't ruined in the acquisition process.

The Gorka PautRev Camo is my current favorite.

Wolf-mask, or any mask for that matter, is instant KoS by me.

It's a problem with the handling of audio, in general. It's not only zombie sounds that are sometimes heard globally. It's also item sounds, like opening soda. Action sounds, like eating food or drinking. Player sounds, like in-game voice communication. Working with other team-mates on Vent, we all heard all of these types of global sounds at the same time. The most entertaining being a random player telling the entire server he's heading to Berezino. It's really annoying and consistent on full servers.

In a post-apocalyptic world, the prevailing survival tactic will be banditry. If you really want to know what it will be like, search Anthony-Kongphan on youtube and watch his PVP videos. Not only is it the best DayZ PVP to watch, but it will also give those that do not wish to survive in this fashion a keen look into the world of banditry. Think about it. It will be easier for survivors to hunt others that collect items than to collect the items themselves. Don’t get me wrong, I understand Escape-and-Evade. The desire to live is a powerful! I can appreciate being friendly and have ran across many players that were friendly. But after being killed countless times, I’ve come to accept the reality of banditry. The best way to understand this is to watch those that are the best at it. You will see their tactics and learn how to avoid these types of survivors: Stay away from the cities! Besides, watching his Twitch Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/anthony_kongphan/ is pretty damn entertaining. It’s mostly large clan-versus-clan PVP, but the Hunter-Prey aspect of DayZ Standalone is all there. It really is the best PVP I’ve seen.

Don't worry. Death comes easy in this game. I think I've died more to fire station ladders than any single player. It's just harder the longer your character lives. That's for sure!

Check out http://www.dayztv.com/news/2014/07/dayz-turning-bohemia-interactive-studios-giant/ written by Pitstop Head. Bohemia Interactive is a giant thanks in part to DayZ Standalone and will continue to develope this game. So, don't fret and smack your friend for spreading terrible rumors.

It sounds like you're actually hitting tree like you would a Zombie by swinging your axe. You need to scroll over tree and hit your "Use" key, which for me is the "F" key. You should not hear any sounds when you chop a tree this way.

I had my very geared out Hardcore character die to a camper. No problem. Respawn. Spend a few hours gearing up followup character. KOS as an unarmed bambi. Died. No problem. Respawn. Spend many more hours gearing up another character and then have a hacker on the server remove all of my gear and ammo with-in a few seconds. Now we have a huge issue. This issue drives me crazy! Where's Bohemia Interactive on this? There are so many great examples on these forums and videos on youtube you can watch all day. What's the point of paying and playing for an Alpha-stage game, yes I understand and completely accept that it's still being developed, when these hackers wipe your progress instantly? All of the hours spent designing every aspect of this beautiful game will be wasted away when you have these hackers ruining the gaming experince. Here's the kicker! The player I suspect, since the server was pretty empty, has their Steam Profile avatar blantently displaying the hacking application. Unreal. Please provide of method to report suspected hackers, since it doesn't seem proper posting their Steam profile here publicly.

No. Not the same person. The video was just used as a very recent example I pulled from youtube of what's been harming the game I love playing. I don't record my playing, but have encountered these issues in-game and needed a fresh example. Like I said, the bugs I can deal with since we all know this is in early alpha stages. But the hacking... Who wants to login and have your gear completely removed remotely by some hacker? No chance at seeing your enemy. No chance at retaliation. No chance to PVP and let the mutual exchange of bullets be the deciding factor. Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just saw the thread title, "What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?", and wanted to have a little input.

I don't mind all of the bugs in this Alpha, but the hacking will ruin this game before it's ever released.

If zombies are being designed with more stamina, then zombies should be able to suffer from broken arms and legs when being damaged by players. When zombies take damage to their legs, they too should be limited to crawling just as players when their legs are broken. Zombies should lose their main arm thrusting attacks when their arms are broken.

1. Like the faster zombies. 2. Dislike immediaite respawning of zombie in same vicinity of a zombie I just killed. 3. Wall glitching zombies is still a huge problem and would love for these type of issues to be fixed before more aggressive zombies are implemented. 4. We should be able to easily lose zombie by Line of Sight, like ditching around many tall fances, walls, and buildings. 5. Rooftop spawning zombies? I still find it funny every time I see one on a rooftop. 6. We should be able to damage the zombie arms and legs. Why shouldn't I be able to disable one from chasing me around by shooting or axing their legs off?

I like hardcore zombies that are a real threat. I dislike zombies immediately spawning in my immediate area after just killing a freaking zombie like an endless supply of spawning zombies. Extremely annoying.
