Lumberjack (DayZ)

For me it's been half and half, to be honest i am over it if they want to dc so be it, it's kinda annoying when I am short on loot and needed their stuff but it's only a game. No point getting upset by it. I hate to say it but I,ve dc,d to, I like the ability to choose that, in the same breath I,ve been sniping on some guys had someone creep up behind me, I tried to escape and switch weapons but he with the Enfield got me, it was karma for sniping. So for me it's 50/50 if I'll stay and fight or not. Another example I spawned in behind two players, I had a Fal I would of said it was in my favour I thought for a second was spotted and dc,d. Was I a coward? I could of taken one maybe both down with my lucky spawn.

Finding the loot will probably do you no good as you'll just die and lose it if your new to the game. I suggest learning to find it through spawn spots or hunting those players with high tier kit if that's your thing, sure keep moving around those outskirts and if you find a tent then that's a bonus, using this as a means to get high tier loot doesn't, seem like a good tactic as your just relying on luck.

I enjoy the brutality of the game, it should be hard to find a weapon and the basic supplies. Seems some people think we should have it all in under half an hour of searching. I am part of a large group of players, when one of us dies or more it fractures our group, sometimes that'll be it for the night as it'll take hours for us to meet up again, sometimes for days we can be in groups of 2-3 or even solo before we meet up again. It is for me what makes the game great, and the no gun spawn is genius and I now love it. I am all for groups, it what makes us stronger, but if we spawned together in groups this would be to unbalanced and give us a huge advantage.

I,ve shot guys long distance with a 50.cal and seen the red mist with no kill, but sometImes I think it's like a ricochet or something, as follow up shots do the job. And yes there is a god mode to.

All I can say is stick with Rocket give him sometime, hopefully when this game goes retail the hacking situation will be under control. I myself have been lucky enough, I,ve met friendly cheaters offering me anything I want (long story), a couple of times I managed to disconnect and change server before anything bad happenend. And yeah I have been unfortunate to die by cheater to, I just got to swallow that pill and remind myself this is alpha this is test.

We meet a group of you in a heli recently at Starry Sobor some US server?

While zombies are still not perfect I think this is an improvement over 1.5, I think it's right it should be line of site dependent over sound as let's face it they are mindless things so sound unless they can relate it to something to attack should not aggro them, line of site on the other hand,,, if they see you expect to get attacked. The nice improvement is it seems easy to lose them running but you risk yourself getting exposed to murderous players, so I feel it's an improvement in the right direction.

One simply cannot kill a hacker who goes by the name Rocket.

Rocket is on UK 117 now running round in god mode with custom skins and hatchet spamming VoIP.

I'm pretty sure people are looking here, but you got to be realistic at this stage. There are a lot of active server admins that look for reports on their servers, I know ours for instance if anything is mentioned here about hackers on the server we will take a proactive approach to dealing with the issue and we are not unique. So keep on reporting.

Damn man your a legend I wish all the best to you and your mod.

Had problems joining with beta patch 94945 (stuck on waiting for host), went back to patch 94876 (just got it down from the patch site and installed it over 94945) joined no problems on one server not tried any others as yet. I did not play on 1.7.2 (i did join accidentally some and it wiped my ghillie luckly found another but have been keeping it in my backpack) so came straight from 1.7.1.5 in civilians still had all my gear in same spot i last logged out from, switched to my ghillie still had all my gear, so far so good. Thanks for the efforts Rocket look forward to some more time in game soon.

Prey tell the clan and the server, although i reckon you placing a lot on assumption here. But let it be known here and i bet you there will be a lot out looking for them and if your right some admin rage server closing will commence. I think vehicle balance is fine, I do not use vehicles much finding them is hard and repairing them harder as it should be. Now the vehicles are being swept of the plains keeping them within map boundaries and deleting if unused for a few days will help more in the long run.

I,m all warm and fuzzy inside nice one 7cav.

So many are now playing this game, and many are turning to camp/vehicle hunting as an easy way to find good kit. Gone are the easy days now you got to fight hard to hang on to your kit so it may not always be hacking. Its a bit of a shame it used to be nice to have camps for a weeks at a time before being found, just these days everyone is looking for them and no matter how clever you think you hide them its those same clever places people look. So maybe there is no foul play? Or maybe there is, either way we have given up on tent cities and hoarding vehicles its so much work only to be easily lost. We've just had to change our tactics to reflect the expanding population and fact that everyone is now looking for tents and vehicles in the wilds and on the plains.

I know the tactics and use them myself, Just be happy you beat them in a fight you do not need their kit, I,d be interested in screens from the rest of your crew probably all on day zero with best kit. If you were some guys with lee enfields and civilian clothes I,d probably feel more sympathetic. As for the admin if you did rage close the server it's cheap, we run our own server losing our stuff is just the game so to say all admins use this tactic is not true besides most of our camps are on other servers not our own and are there to be found if you can find them.

4 gillie suited players all with high end kit probably decked to the nines with the best stuff, gps range finders, nvg,s etc etc with zero kills?????? Admin may of raged the server closed I think in this circumstance maybe they had good reason to. At the end of the day why complain you,ve obviously got a great reserve of all the best kit in the game happy days surely? So why waste your time on this.

Be patient specsniper and never give up, people are seeing this. Personally I,d just stay away from us23 Find a server where your camps stay for a few days before being found. But rest assured camps and vehicles are never safe. For me us23 is a dangerous place these days but there are a wealth of servers to choose from and many with good proactive admin.

I was on day 14, good amount of kills all the best kit as I had looted several heli crash sites, today I was killed by an invisible guy with a hack gun well I,m pretty sure it was a hack gun as I,ve never heard anything like it. Anyway I was gutted a couple of weeks with this char, but you know shit happens, if it was not this hacker it would of been a bug or other player maybe even zombies. The fact is you will die sooner or later, but I do agree the cheating-exploiting is getting rife lets just give the developers time to hopefully reduce this to acceptable levels.

As per title anyone know if its possible to reverse the invisible bug?

O.k nvm i think we got it fixed Thanks to LVG for pointing us in the right direction. What we did was delete the @Dayz folder Re-download it and put it back, roll back to an older patch and this restored things, took a couple of attempts but now seems to be ok.

Well I deleted the Dayz folder, re downloaded it, re-installed latest beta patch ending 209. Some progress I can now see my character, but not the debug monitor and the drink and food status is empty i.e still bugged. Anyone else have further suggestions?

Funboy for a start you cannot get your money back because your unhappy that there are cheaters in an online game, and this is not a retail game think of it as a free pass to test out a potential future game. But i do feel for you, our little group of survivors have also encountered these type of cheaters a few times in the past few weeks it is very depressing. We'd make a post here but unfortunately lack the needed evidence hopefully as this game progresses these type of cheaters will get caught. In the mean time we will not let these gaming trolls ruin our fun of this great mod and I hope this Paolo guy if he is cheating gets a ban.

L85A2 TWS as far as I know is illegal to just a heads up! Be carefull what you post.
