Yep! Lost easier to see when i have a proken leg visually rather than squint at the chat :)

Enjoy!

What servers are you joining? There is always at least one full hardcore server at any time of the day.

Well break you sort of don't have a leg to stand on in regards to 1pp considering you steam third person. There are 6 full 1pp servers right now as I'm posting this, and the probability of a stream sniper is rather low if your up north and they don't know which of the six servers you are playing in. It would be rather difficult for someone to have a character well geared all the way up there on all the servers. But it is true the game is tailored to the younger crowd. I've yet to die of either dehydration or starvation in standalone since day 1. Water is in every well and food is in every house, survival is currently a joke. And dayz can't appeal to the majority, or it won't be dayz anymore. 99% of the mod sure as hell isn't dayz with indestructabke sky bases and millions of vehicles and guns. The most popular games are ones like call of duty, so if dayz appeals to the masses, we won't have dayz anymore. Just like it happened in the mod.

Rather interesting encounter at the pavlovo / kamenka military base on dayz standalone hardcore. Recorded on the UN private hive. If your wondering how they knew my name, the guy in the red with the cowboy hat met me earlier on the Prison and I told him I was headed here, he was clearly a spy.

Cross post from reddit, but I thought it should be here since more dev's are lurking around these parts. So, im not exactly sure if this just slipped by as an oversight or if it is intentional that you can somehow learn a players name through ancient magic by checking their heartrate. While this isnt some huge gamebreaking ordeal it is rather 'gamey' feeling. If a player wants to lie about their in game name and conceal their identity in direct chat when meeting someone new, they cant. Recently /u/Ayzerr posted a video on the subreddit where we attempted to blend into a larger group. However, he was ever so slightly too far away to see how they were able to verify I was not part of the group. Mid sprint, one of the members check pulsed me and immediately called me by my name in direct chat. You can watch what im talking about here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMzEHf4dUDo?t=1m50s (yay self promotion) It felt slightly ridiculous that they didn't have to do any sort of check internally, and immediately knew who I was. So my question is, is check pulse (especially while someone is conscious) intentional? I personally don't think you should be able to gain so much information just by scroll wheeling on somebody. It leaves out a lot of times where you could attempt to impersonate someone else, when meeting someone in direct chat.

Finally had a extremely large gunfight in the middle of the woods not near any major pvp hotspot, something ive always wanted to happen!

Sobieski posted this video to the forums a few days ago, and he generously allowed me to parts of his footage to create this video. Its incredible to see what was going on behind the scenes, and how much of it he caught on to.

Thats true for groups but when you meet someone in direct chat you lose the option to lie about who you are becasue of the check pulse feature, which is a bit strange for a post apocalyptic sandbox. Deception should definitly be one of the best parts of the game. And an alternative idea - there is none. Uou can throw your ID on the ground, and then introduce yourself under whatever name you wish.

Being captured :P

Backstory: Forced into the first murder of the night because of the darkness inside the barn concealing if a weapon was in his hands or if he was aiming, paranoia took hold. The body returned no name when studying it, yet there were four large clans roaming the north, and only a handful of independent players with no tags. Knowing that we had just alerted a large group, we took no chances moving forward. From checking the player list before and after the fight, we believe it was the CMW clan we fought. Props to them playing fairly, nobody combat logged or anything like that :) Enjoy.

Definitly vouch for these guys. Best servers there are. No lag, first person, whitelisted. Everything you could hope and dream for.
