emigrates

I understand where you're coming from, but personally I've always got more ammo than I ever need and I don't think trading will ever work on DayZ. If I want something someone else has got, I tend to kill them for it.

It's a good idea no doubt, however it sounds like an awful lot of work. Unless they change the actual spawn rate of ammo then I personally believe people will get sick of it and just go to the nearest police station or airfield.

Sun rises from the East and sets on the West. Judging by the time of day you SHOULD be able to decide which way the sun is facing and which way is N/E/S/W from that. If all that fails, use land marks. If you can see a certain city, village, etc. You can often make out the outline of the actual airfield depending on your computer specs. As long as you don't run towards the Black Mountain, you're bound to run into a village to find supplies to eat and drink anyway.

Isn't that just South of NEAF? Travel North and you'll walk right onto the airfield itself

This. Using a player list allows me to do exactly what OP said- see how many players there are in that server. I'm part of a large group who regularly raids Berezino (Hate me or love me) and after a bit of playing about and getting some kills, people start to leave the server because they know we're there. Checking to see who's playing allows us to know if we can continue kicking ass or if we need to find another high pop :)

Does this work? I assumed Zoom and Hold breath were theoretically the same action, therefore it's not just a keybind but an actual requirement to hold breath to zoom in while using the LRS. I'm not able to try it since the big move is tomorrow and I won't be online for a while, but thank you if it does!

So come on folks, any of you has an embarrassing or awkward moment? I think I reached a new low today, and I need to share the trauma with someone. I play bandit mostly, unless we have a new guy in the clan who needs equipment, I'll happily take them to NE/NWAF. On this occasion we all had everything we need and decided to make a move in Berezino for some good old fashioned PvP. We all ran from the school in Berezino, to the docks and we encountered a fresh spawn, we invited him in, gave him a pistol and told him to be on his way. This pistol was chambered with one round, so we were pretty relaxed about it. On his exit, I attempted to knee cap him, unsuccessfully. He turned around and aimed the gun at a team mate, he was instantly blown away with M4 & Mosin fire. We travelled around the docks and I moved up to the Gas station. I suddenly heard a wave of M4 fire towards me and a team mate reported someone standing above him, he was made unconscious pretty shortly afterwards, the second team mate who was to the right of unconscious fellow saw this mysterious M4 man disappear and I decided to relocate back to the docks to take refuge. I saw a man without any trousers and wearing a cowboy style hat, shot him once and he suddenly vanished. We knew it was a hacker and all logged out inside on the hangers on the docks asap. I logged back in after an hour or two and decided to head to the pub just opposite medic centre with my friends, who reported to be 2-3 houses down from pub. I ran him, ran upstairs and got to the top floor and knelt down besides two characters I thought was my team mates. I confirmed I was next to them and I didn't see anyone else. They asked me over Teamspeak "We don't see you, we must be desyncing. I saw one of the characters pull out a sawn off and slot me between the eyes. My team mates were in the house next door. It was all good in the end, 4 of their friends logged in with them, we slot them all and revelled in our freshly laden M4's and hunter backpacks, but the motto of the story - make sure it's the right house.

We were in Berezino recently, we had our main task force inside of the gas station near docks and myself on smoke stack. We had movement near police station and 2 of the lads moved towards the L shaped wall near the cream house on railroad. I saw them walk up, get in position but didn't realise one of them had a blue back pack, for some reason I asked if anyone had a blue back pack and with no reply put a round into the back of him. I didn't have the balls to admit it was me who took the shot and blamed it on a sniper from cranes until a few days later. More recently 2 of us were packed into piano house in Berezino, we had two of the doors covered and I was covered by the closet so anyone walked in would get lit up. I saw someone walk in, put a Mosin into his chest and then heard TS rage from the person I shot and shouting "fucking friendly, fucking friendly!". I've had more than 4 blue on blue incidents now :(

Yeah that'd be better than the current system - but what about moving and when you're not aiming down sight?

Yes, always camping in a bush. Forever camping \o/ Personal? I'm just wondering why you say you're in your 30's but act no older than 14. In BF4, I play on Sniper Limited servers because I don't like DMR's, which are usually categorized under snipers.

The eggs? Okay, you know why I don't post my real photo or my birthday? Because no one cares. Because you can google a photo and make up a date, it doesn't mean it's factual. Which, like I said - is why I think you're lying. All I want at the moment is to stop the forums being full of the tears of kids bawhahawhawing over getting shot by a Mosin, leg broken or killed in Berezino. It would appear, I'm not on the winning team.

Or as someone here to help/kill you!

Obviously the last person who assumed I was trying to make out as a programming god didn't understand that at all. There's also multiple people on this thread who have tried explaining to you and others who agree that the character is there for less than 5 seconds until you have fully loaded in. Not even being able to load in completely with the ability to look around and fight may have saved him. For all he knows someone could have been right besides him with a rifle at his head, the moment he pressed anything, he could have been dead. The problem is not with the fact that the server places your character visibly in-game, it's about logging out in low-pop areas or areas that are difficult to target someone within. Like a tree line. Not in a open-doored building that's a few metres from one of, if not the most popular areas within the game right now. It's like logging out and logging in the middle of Berezino, Cherno or Elektro in their hay day and expecting it to end well.

When did I mention anything about programming? I haven't the first clue and never stated it. I'm basing my "It's a game, they need to load" on years of experience. Load up anything, you'll notice it will load while it generates the surroundings. But yeah, what a surprise another person on a forum who can't read.

The problem is, games load and render. It's nothing new, it just happens. Hell, if even if he didn't have "Please wait" then the person who attacked him might have killed him in the 3 minutes it takes to render the game once you can see anyway. Just deal with it, don't log out in silly areas. Even if a survival game this would be a completely inappropriate place to log out. What you're asking for it, you want everything to be there the moment the Press connect. Sorry folks, it doesn't work like that.

Game loading = bug? I'm sorry not everything is spontaneous. Some things do take time, such as rendering and loading.

Mind telling me more about this F L U S H command? I'm sick of not hearing gunshots! This video was great though, thank you for the translation :)

Fully kitted out.. 4 Days of work Keeping an M4 and a Mosin on one character.. Lots of avoiding ladders, contact and eating Getting axed to death for logging out in a high pop area... priceless For everything else, there's the treeline.

If you're looking something else, you're playing the wrong game. I'm not asking for Tanks, or Battlehelicopters (whatever they are) and Nuclear Submarines. We're asking for some camouflage. Massive difference my friend, it would appear once again you've gone back to exaggerating. If you can't set yourself the task of providing a good argument, don't bother. I've already got my mind set that you're lying about your age.

If you continue waiting you will spawn in, the longest I've had to wait is probably 2 minutes and this usually only happens after a spawn timer. The only time I give up and look for a server is if I get 'Wait for Host' and no server messages on the left hand corner. This usually means the server has frozen and a simple server restart fixes it.

Quantum2k6 doesn't agree. He feels snipers with ghillies would be just too overpowered. Pretty much, no matter how much people try to explain to you, you still can't grasp the concept of covert. For a start, the person he shoot was in plane view. You can do that with an M4 with an ACOG. Hell, you could have rushed him from behind and got him with a fire axe. The fact that this guy was standing in the window for the world to see is just idiocy. I'm speechless that he was running around the front of hangars like that. This game is based on a milsim. You need to be tactical, if you want out in the front of things, stand in windows like you can't be shot.. you're going to get shot.

Evidently.

Let's just try and keep the thread on track without exaggerating a little. 9000 meter shot? What are you playing at? You sound like a typical whining Battlefield 4 bitch. Try grabbing an M4, getting indoors and complete the objective. Use cover from areas which could possibly inhabited by scouts and snipers. Stay within treelines and check the treelines for any movement. A ghillie suit doesn't make someone invisible, it just helps. You achieve the same effect with some TTsKo camo, take your bag off and getting close to a tree with some cover. The problem is also, if a sniper misses his first shot - his location is revealed. You have an M4 with up to 60 rounds, you can suppress that area like no tomorrow, flank him and take him out with ease. Not to mention how you expect a sniper to storm a building, spraying everywhere. Each rifle has it's own use and ability, learn to use your own weapons ability. While playing DayZ, I tend to carry a Mosin with a LRS & a PU Scope, most of the time I carry an M4 on my back so I can suppress anyone or even come with my team mates into a building and clear it. If you want a handicap for someone using a higher powered rifle than you, you're making yourself out to be a bad player.

I've got a cracking photo of one of our lads taking up a firing position and an ANP just sat there squatting trying to aim down sight when his AK is pretty much resting on his hip. We tried, we gave up.

I see them all the time in Fire Stations
