Jesus Christ. The paid hacks literally have more updates than the multi million dollar stand alone game.

Wait, you have kids and you are training them for a real life scenario with a video game? You do realize that the chances of society falling apart like you see on TV and in the Movies is not realistic, right? Please don't teach your kids to be paranoid. It often doesn't end well. The gun lobbysists (NRA) and so in love with people like you who fall for all the movies and TV shows about society falling apart. By the way, I own guns as well, but I don't fall for the lies and paranoia that seems to be popular these days. But welcome to the DayZ forums.

While we are making requests, can I please have a super lite Mini-Gun that I can wheel around behind me? Just have them spawn in any building and with infinite ammo. Thanks,

Also, isn't it possible someone sniped him from far away and that broke his leg and arm? There is a lot of noise glitches where you don't here a gun shot. But I'm not sure if one single round can break both an arm and a leg. I have not seen that. Running up or down the fire station stairs has broken a lot of legs in the past, but I have never broken both an arm and a leg at the same time. Is this a new thing?

Watch out, we got oursevles a bad ass here! So you can harness the mysteries of netcode when you fire a round at an impossibly sprinting target outside of 400M? If the game was consistent enough, I may see your point. But since the netcode is so bad after the last update, there is no consistency in leading bullet rounds at good distances. Furthermore... But it's so fake how fast we can sprint and for unending distances. Do you want Dayz which focuses on survival, choices, and limited toon's skills and inventory/weapons? Or do you want Battlefield, Counter Strike, or Call of Duty where every player's toon is an elite and magical soldier that would make Kurt Russell from "Soldier" look like a little bitch? I don't get you enjoy DayZ but also enjoy the fakeness of how we sprint. And because of this sprinting, even after shot with a high powered mosin round, it makes killing people over 400M near impossible. Which is equally fake.

That's what I thought too, that selecting "hide body" just makes it unlootable. However, bodies are not staying longer than 10 minutes no matter what right now. So that's why you didn't see your body. The game engine is maxed out, especially with persistent loot and loot respawning. That's why zombies are now magical and can hit you 3 seconds after their death animation from you shooting them. As awesome as this game concept is that I love, the alpha as it is right now is utterly broken. At least bodies stay 10 minutes now. Remember a few patches ago when bodies disappeared within 30 seconds? My god, that was really bad because every kill was useless since you could not loot anyone in time. But it's alpha so it's all good. Have fun guys.

Uh, oh. So anyone can escape long distance death if they simply never stand still. This makes the game boring. Cars will be another 12 months methinks. So speedy gonzalez is here to stay.

If that's the case than they better improve the qualilty of gameplay mechanics. Because right now, close quarter combat even with weapons really brings out how bad the controls and netcode is. The last 3 times I got in a firefight with less than 20 feet between us, we both died because of the seconds delay after getting shot.So it's counterproductive to make distance killing difficult. Killing at a distance is the only enjoyable part of Dayz right now because when it happens, you don't notice the problems or frustrations with the netcode or terrible melee.

So you are saying that Bohemia and Valve knowingly have the game rigged where cheaters are more than welcome to purchase another copy of the game? That means game companies don't really give a shit aobut legit players. This is disheartening.

Can I ask a very basic question for people who know a lot about PC's and the internet? Is it possible for Steam/Valve or even DayZ Stand Alone to have a very simple way to check an operating systems "finger print" so that when some piece of shit cheater trys to buy another copy of Steam and Dayz, when they try to install it again, Valve or Dayz can simply see that it's the same exact copy of the operating system or PC finger print and then not allow the piece of shit cheater to purchase the game again? If this is very simple and possible, but DayZ and Steam refuse to do it.... then they obviously don't give a flying shit about honest players and don't mind if cheater purchase another copy of the game.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL Dayz devs are not even told to place a simple name tracking system in the game, but you expect them to be able to handle all the anti cheat measures? You are funny.

I agree. And many many posts have been talking about all this. It makes no sense to me about how they have no problem adding 100 round drum magazine for m4, we have the 75 round drum mag for AK....... and close quarter combat is an awful, freaking.... mess with the bad netcode. As the OP states, every single time I've been in close combat with someone, we both end up dead, many times from just one bullet each meaning it's fake that his bullet or my bullet didn't kill one of us first before the other could fire it. I think it's so stupid how fake the dispersion is after 400 M. I really wonder if it's just harder to make the gun mechanics work better and things will improve later on. But my god, PVP combat is generally an awful mess in this game. There is only frustration when you PVP, so it amazes me that so many people like to do it. It's obvious that it's only because there is nothing else to do.

The layered clothing armor is ridiculous..... To PVP at least. But a weakened 130 pound zombie bitch can break your legs with one swipe.

Ive been trying to prove this all along.

Yeah why would they nerf us with layers of clothing but then add 100 round drum magazines? Wtf?

Its 100% hacking. It only happens on full servers (where scumbag hackers spread their misery ). And numerous reports say that some of the hackers taunted people about it just before doing the hack. Plus..... The current patch has been out almost a month but they didnt create the hack until 8 days ago. So its no glitch.

This is a hack.. Its been common for 8 days now.

Is it not silly that you believe there is something they can learn from us testing utterly broken zombies? If they put in decent zombies to test that would be more valid.

Jesus. You got us beat man. Thats the worst dayz alpha shit I have ever heard. When will zombies stop getting worse? i still love the game I just am amazed and confused.

Yeah. Now I promised to be more positive so I will watch myself here. However, I'm extremely frustrated as well with how bad the zombies hit detection reach, and the desync lag of when you shoot them and yet, they still get a hit on you. I'm really hoping to see a newly re-vamped engine that will address how broken zombie combat and pvp combat is. It's just really, really bad like the OP is saying. It's ridiculous that after you shoot a zombie dead, they still finish their attack with full force. When will we honestly see a difference in combat mechanics? It's getting ridiculous.

Yeah. Good idea.

Lol. Thanks man. Love it. The dayz irony is... We have amazing armor from clothes if a bullet hits us..... But 135 pound weakened female zombie. ( i assume being sick weakens you)..... These zombies can break your bones from a swipe? Why is this?

Yeah. But its not the bullet coding upin game. I think its the amazing armor we get from layers of clothing. If we put a condom on, its like plate steel. Got to love dayz. I can wait till ayear from now. The game will be much better I hope.

See. I told you guys when fuckers get global banned they are more than ready to pony up more cash to bohemia. This guys friend owns 80 games on steam. Thats almost 3,000 dollars in games. You think 30 more dollars in rockets pockets are going to get hacks to ever be addressed? Steam/valve should have a say in the lack of quality control.

I wanted to let the dayz fans, the dayz project staff, and the admins to know I feel bad about being so negative lately. I don't think it's helpful for what I've been saying. I have been thinking about how I want the game to be successful since it's so potentially fun when we are not getting hacked, etc. So anyways, my bad guys. I will make a huge effort to change my negativity and perhaps frequent the suggestion thread more so I will be more inclined to add positive things. I don't want to spread more negativity and hinder other players from enjoying the alpha. Mad love for all, and sorry about being a dick.
