Heh you ALMOST had the URAL if you had only shot the driver, instead of that badass wheel :-D. Anyway funny ending...ambushing ural only to be driven over by it :-D.

If your vehicle was stolen, then its kinda fair game if you ask me. If it was eaten by server restart then it would be more of a pain. Anyway see you in standalone, let's hope that it will be polished a lot more then mod is. edit: your story brings up memory when me and 2 other buds saw some guys parking their car (white pickup) near NW airfield. We hid in bushes and waited for them.....but those rascals came back from different direction then we expected and killed me and my bud, our surviving sniper cowardly ran away. Perfect ambush going hillariously bad :-D.

It's well known fact that greed destroys everything beautifull (check how human race fucks up our planet in quest of making zillions). If I am not mistaken, developing of DayZ was very cheap compared to AAA titles that cots like 100mil USD or so. Because of this, there is no reason why DayZ team should not be content with having only PC version. If they sell million copies of Dayz for lets say 20 EUR, isn't it enough? They could also sell some kind of DLC in far future or even sequel, so there is a potential for future gains even if staying PC exclusive. Also Bohemia Interactive was PC exclusive company and they managed to survive all these years making hardcore games that were too complex even for many PC players. Stupid games like Call of Duty can be ported with ease, because those are simple games with small maps and shallow mechanics. Do you really think that DayZ is the same case?

If this is real story then I applaud to you! Bandits will be always there (game needs them anyway), but it would be so nice if their numbers dwindle somehow. I really so hate when DayZ turns to deathmatch and all those trigger happy fools proclaims that this is how the apocalypse look like....while they wield duped AS50 and expend ammo like it was growing on trees, killing people that dont have anything valuable. I have to show my respect to bandits that actually try to mug you without killing you! You Sirs, are brave men trying to play this game, in somehow realistic, but more risky bandit way.

I once found 2x AS50 at the same heli crash so for me the AS50 was not that uber rare. Anyway I dislike that weapon as its the favourite tool of bushwookies and other bandits. I hope that DayZ standalone will exterminate duping and make some weapons really rare. To find AS50,it should be like christmass and same for ammo. To answer to OP>no, I have never found M4 holo with m203 but other then that I think I had every weapon atleast once except that rocket launcher thingie.

Since consoles have shitloads of exclusive games, why should not PC have some? DayZ is perfect example of PC only game, wast map, lots of players and not dumbed down gameplay. As OP has stated, Crysis series became absolute garbage after they moved to consoles. I believed their lies and bought Crysis 2 only to get weak console port which got hires textures some month after release! If DayZ should become Crysis 2 fiasco, I would curse Rocket and never buy anything that he has made and probably also boycot Bohemia Interactive which I have considered lonely beacon of PC playing.

I think that stable DayZ mod is of the same or bigger importance as promoting of the standalone. What I'm trying to say is, that once we have hopefully bug free 1.7.3, it should give Devs more breathing space for work of standalone. Pitty that duping, hacking and combat disconnect can not be sorted out in mod and have to wait for standalone...

You might be mistaking Chernarus (fictional country that DayZ map represents) for a Chernogorsk (city). Btw I would love to see some proper fog, Is it in game at all?

I wish we had only this type of hackers in DayZ...not those assholes that kills whole server and shit like that. But ofc the best solution would be to not have hackers at all if possible.

I would think that getting a bit more stable version of DayZ mod would appease the hungry crowd and give Devs more breathing space for DayZ standalone. Anyway I'm holding my breath hoping that DayZ standalone will : 1. crush item duplication and other exploits giving infinite ammo 2. curb hacking to acceptable levels 3. eliminate combat disconnecting 4. provide more content continuously 5. that Devs will remember how to communicate with players here on forums and provide some update

Hmm I've had several friendly encounters but most of them were rather brief. I've also helped several guys but they were mostly unarmed so that might have played role in their friendliness as well. Sad story was when I met unarmed guy near cherno hospital and apartment buildings. I asked him if he had transfusion, he gave it to me, so I foolishly thought he is friendly person. I helped him to find Lee Enfield in one of the houses. We fended off some zombies and once we cleared them, he shot me in the head from behind. He also mumbled something before I died, not sure what that ment though. Last time I met friendly player was in Cherno where me and my buddy were causing ruckuss in the neighbourhood as we were shooting zombies with winchester and enfield. Then this guy in ghillie came and asked us, if we need some help. I almost freaked out and shoot him, since I am very suspicious toward ghillies with M4SD,but good thing I did not do it. Most funny encounter I had was finding unconscious guy in on of the houses in Elektro, near the beach. Gave him epipen and blood, also some cans of food. I guess we must have been quite surprised by my generosity :-D.

Why not to try using it yourself? I bet your clan has some vehicle or tent city to stash stuff into so its not like you have to ditch your good ole DMR. Now I remember some peeps reported that vehicles and tents does not save properly (I would not know, because my playstyle is more of sticking to south then hoarding stuff up north) so maybe its a dilemma.

Bandits are bandits and they will always come up with some silly "arguments" supporting their dbag behavior.

I think you have previously failed to mention, that he fired at you first. That kinda changes the whole situation since even heroes should defend themselves with extreme prejudice.

That must be karma man. You were clearly using hacked weapons and act like that is a virtue. No wonder that your mobo decided to explode to your face.

Hmm it does not seem as that you are cut out of "hero" material. Real non bandit player would let this guy just leave,not threaten with grenades and ofc not shooting him in the face for just being cautious. I hope you had taken huge humanity loss for such behavior. Pitty that to get hero skin you need just 5K humanity of which 2500 will come to you just for not murdering folks. Too easy if you ask me.

He is obviously too evil with hacked gun. I bet that he is also server hopper of biblical proportions. I think that ban would be more appropriate then just -1 mil humanity for such crimes.

You say that if I "bandage and blood bag you" you will give me ghillie. I wonder what the reward is for "bondaging you and tea bagging you" instead?

What irks me some is, that even bandit of Adolf Hitler's proportions can hide behind ghillie suit or DMP camo clothing :-(.

I have left frenetic loot wh*ring behind me. I still like to find stuff, I woun't deny, but these days I roam mostly around Cherno / Elektro and interact with people. By interacting I do not mean to shoot them on sight,but rather observe and talk to them,if they seem ok. I am still a bit undecided about "towel head" bandits though, if I should kill them on sight or not. I'm slowly deciding to KOS them, because they have killed some people in the past + there is always rather high probablity of them wanting to kill me compared to basic survivor (although I was killed by both types). So by doing this I do not live that long (few days max),but it is fun and more intense at the same moment. Smaller chance to get bored this way, unlike when you have tents full of stuff (hopefully not duped as many would) and becoming one of the bushwookies killing folks for fun with their shiny AS50.

You see, all you are saying is,that bandit skin make it harder for you, bandit guys. But did you actually think a moment, what this change ment to friendly survivors? With addition of hero / bandit skin the honest folks have atleast a shred of chance to evaluate the chance of getting killed when meeting somebody. Before they just did not have a clue and unlike bandits, who were killing and will kill no matter what, the friendly survivor many times resorted to kill on sight as a precaution. I am not saying ingame skin change is realistic. But as many has pointed out, this is still game and even though it has a bit of realism (compared to COD or BF3 for sure), it can not and never be completely realistic. Have to agree that the mechanics of getting hero / bandit skin is a bit flawed though. Sometimes I lose humanity for killing a dude who attacked me first or if player runs directly at me swinging an axe, I can not shoot him or I lose humanity. Also stats are resetting, backpacks are lost, all due to skin changes.

I am affraid...that you are gravely mistaken. Never heard of duping items or other exploiting that brings you infinite ammo? If ammo could not be replenished and had to be actually found, it would be much much better game experience. Oh well,let's wait for standalone to see that happen.

Well I like coop play with buddies as well. You have someone to watch your back, to talk to, to help you if zombies swarm you or such. On the other hand there always will be lonewolfs avoiding contact or preying on others and that is perfectly fine. It is their playstyle, it brings a lot of tense to the game, I love it, DayZ needs that people as well. What DayZ does not need are killers with duped rifles (AS50 preferably),with duped ammo which they glitch making it infinite. This is robbing the game of any resemblance of realism it might have, these guys are basicaly cheaters and cheating always ruins the gameplay (mostly for their victims). So all in all I have my hopes up for the standalone. If Devs studied any data from this mod, they must be 100% aware of what is wrong with it now and they must do all they can to avoid these things in standalone.

I belive that only standalone can tone down idiotic killing on sight. Imagine if weapons or ammo CAN NOT be duplicated&glitched and you have to actually find it. Then the guy who finds AS50 will have like 3x5 bullets and maybe he will think twice before spending them on random n00bs with axes. And he would have to actively search through the map to find more ammo meaning less time spent in the bush sniping folks. The situation now is stupidly crazy because almost everyone of these idiotic snipers has ton of duped stuff with basically infinite ammo so they keep happily squeezing the trigger all day long. I really can't wait for standalone, only then the game will show it's true quallity and hopefully Rocket will add faction support, base construction and many more, then people would have ton of stuff to do other then bushwooking. EDIT:I think most of people agree we need PvP in DayZ. But then there needs to be consequence for killing in a form of spending precious and hard to get ammo. .50 cal snipers should be very rare and so should be their ammo and at the moment the opposite is the truth. Thinking about it I really can see the standalone DayZ be VERY different game experience from the mod, if they curb duping & glitching and get hacking to acceptable levels.

well yeah just buy new Arma2 combined operations and consider it as an atonement for your previous sinfull playstyle!!
