    Us 443

    My friends and I call 443 home, let me know of any other possible hacks and hackers you encounter. To die legit, well that is just the way it goes in DayZ; but to die by hack is frustrating, to say the least.
  2. I have to say, I have played online games since the first Doom, yeah, I am old I know, so I guess it is not a shocker that I missed it as a joke since the majority of players out their are not very bright or very funny. Yet they are as imature as any other group of people on this earth. It seemed believable considering that, but do not get me wrong, I am not calling you stupid or imature yourself, just a comment on some gamers.
  3. Joke? really, wow what passes for humor is realitive I guess. keep your day job.
  4. The kool thing about DayZ is that you can just do the same ole run and gun, though after a while that gets old for some of us; or you can go for longterm survival, or you can do nothing but hatchet murder people. There is no right or wrong way to play, that is what seperates this from all other shooters. I play BF3, COD though, man that franchise has flogged the dead horse on its gameplay to the point that it is a parody of itself. To each his own, I think the idea of saying you will leave the game unless it is fixed is pointless. There almost a million playing and most like it enough to keep playing it.
  5. You want it realistic, go out in the woods and scavenge a few days and see how it goes. From what Rocket has said, his intent is not on realism or being accurate. If you want it realistic, then you must want the zombies removed, and the idea that just anyone could find the parts and repair a chopper. I assume you are just wanting people to flame on the post, since I assume you can not be serious about grill marks on a steak. If you are serious, then I doubt you will be content with anything in life..

    population on the decline?

    The hackers are frustrating. I wish you could only use one name, that way the average player could report these bastards better. If they did this and hooked your cd key to your forum account, then the hackers could be delt with better, at least after the fact.

    population on the decline?

    If you just wait for the new update, you may be waiting for a whole new set of glitches, in this stage of development, if you really like the game, you should play anyway to help test....unless you are bored.

    population on the decline?

    There are just more servers, I have been playing since late MAy and the amount of servers has grown as fast as the player count. Plus more servers seem to be using ping limits more, which cuts down on playing on servers outside one's own country to an extent. Look at how many played in the last 24 hours and you can see little decline in actual amount of players playing.

    Player with 15ms connection....

    It is also a way to get rid of the graphical glitch with wire fences and such, DC and RC and they go away most times, or maybe glitch refill of his amo maybe.
  10. In the end, it may make gameplay evolve quicker with tents duping; yet people camp loot spots to collect loot. Camp a chopper crash site for a while and you can get a truckload of top shelf loot at little risk, and you can do it faster than someone waiting for a tent to dupe. Yes it will be good when tents are fixed, but it is not hurting the game that bad. Hackers are a larger impact in gameplay in a negative way than duping tents. Also the groups that just collect multible vehicles, yet move or drive them very little, they dampen gameplay more than duping tents. I wish vehicles would respawn after 3 days of non use. I mean really, if a big group of players are not driving a vehicle in a 3 day time period. they do not need it in the first place. We need more vehicles moving around the map, we need more vehicle chases in the game. As well as the ability to mount guns on some, a way to take out a chasing chopper. I know many may see it different, this is just my 2 cents.

    Our first ever camp find, and it was a biggie!

    If that camp was around the NE airfield, that was a very poor place to put a camp.
  12. Strawcrow

    Anyone else think tents should go?

    They are great for killing people, when people are not moving and looking at tent inventory. That is what tents are good for.

    Hacking, an analysis

    Because only small amount of players play on a small amount of private hives compared to the DayZ hive, there are no more safer than the others.
  14. You have spawned off map. Try to login again.

    US61 NY2 - 45+ players killed instantly

    What areas are unplayable? I have yet to find anything like that.

    US61 NY2 - 45+ players killed instantly

    I was on our server yesterday, when I was teleported to a army tent somewhere with others spawing all around me saying "WTF". I have had such things happen before, so I hit abort as quick as I could, waited a few minutes and went to another server that had just a few people. It spawned me, with my gear, in the middle of the nw airfield. A good 6 to 8 kilometers from my last location. I was lucky no one was at the airfield, so I hit the road to my last location. The last time this happened I was turned into a cow, then they teleported me, but I aborted then as well. Amazingly I spawned walking around the bottom of a pond. Walked to the surface and still had my gear. Even so, I wish they could keep people from doing such, it does make it hard for those who lose gear and lives to these hacks.

    Seriously pissed

    If you leave a server injured, it will always make you come in next time passed out. I think this is done on purpose to help deal with DCs to avoid death. Never DC when you are injured. If you are a bit desynced when you leave, you may not even see the bleeding till you come in next time.

    Optional PVP

    You can not have a true, no rules, sandbox game if you restrict human interaction. If you do not like PvP, then stay away from people and places that are high risk. Not that you will not ever encounter people doing such, but if you go to the hot lootspots you know you will find people.

    Tents!

    What he said.
  20. From what I have seen, destroy a tent and it comes back on next restart, with all its gear, well that is older tents. Newer tents will not save and anything in them gets lost. It will give you the option to save, and you can save, but next restart it is just an empty tent.

    WarZ much better game then DayZ

    WarZ, from what little I have read, is just making a game that is not much different than all the other games out there: safe zones, towns to spend money in(that is such a joke) and saving you char to avoid losing gear. Been there, played that for over a decade now. It may be flashier, maybe, but I want a different experience than the same ole same ole. I am sure the kids will dig it, sounds like a console hit, but not for me.

    Deer Stands

    In the real world you sit, wait and shoot game from them....thus the name dear stand. All sorts of stuff spawns in them, weapons, ammo, bandages and I found an entrenchment tool in one yesterday.

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    I may be alone here on this, but I think every time you come in a server you should have a amount of time you can not move or shoot a weapon, not just multible DCs or RCs. This would make people think more about safe places to log out from as well as way to reduce loothops and DCs from Zombie or firefights. Many people DC and RC just to get Zombies to despawn, this would help with that as well.

    Our First Rescue.

    Even though I would likely not do this for anyone outside my clan and friends I DayZ with...it is none the less, very kool.
  25. I used to get shot all the time when bandit skins were in the mod, yet I never was killed by bandits, just survivors. I die less now because I do not go into high risk places like the NW Airfield. I cross the countryside at night searching for downed helicopters and camps/bases. Much safer that most other activities.
