"ghosting" in most games refers to a spectating player communicating with people in-game

yeah, but we're this post-apocalyptic situation, so that should be an item you have to find plus the specific scenario he laid out dealt with a dead player talking to his friends. I don't think they have head sets that word like that

so why not just use direct communication?

it's not preventable, but they could offer better alternatives ingame. I know rocket has talked about radios. I think that would be cool. and I think direct chat could work a little better

did that happen right before this started happening?

the problem with that is it's not your own character. sure you can hijack someone else character, but then they take it right back when they play. I imagine that could lead to some funny shenanigans, but ultimately you're not gonna be able to build your character

but what is your goal ultimately? would you do it if you couldn't leave that server with your gear? the game gets pretty boring without the threat of other players IMO edit: and a lot of the 'top-tier' gear is just overkill for killing zeds. if you're just killing zeds, you'd probably be better off with a winchester, rather than a m107

that's besides the point. you're taking a chance by breaking the rules it's like getting pulled over for speeding and telling the cop "b-b-but everyone speeds down this road"

it's called an analogy. the point is something that reduces the chances of something happening is better than "nothing" now that I realize what you're talking about, I don't wanna know how. but your first post implied that it was simple and easy. there actually is a simple way anyone can do it: you buy another copy of the game

well lets go back to what you originally said: sure, there may be a way around it. but that doesn't mean it'll be "easy" or that database bans will do "nothing" it's like saying you shouldn't lock your car because someone could just use a 'slim-jim' or break the window you do what you can to prevent these things

those are all threads from before the forum transferred to this new software. I think all those threads got transferred, but the links google has aren't correct

so how could you change it?

I changed my name and face, but nothing else changed about my DayZ character

it doesn't require a unique playerID, so I don't know how that would work

I hope so. otherwise it's bad news for mark, tyler, owner, and everyone else that didn't bother to change it from the name on their windows account

USA>>>>> :D

silly me for thinking center-of-mass was the place to shoot in a 'simulator' can I also get a cool voice that says "headshot!" every time it happens?

I was looking around lastnight on the BIS forums, but didn't see anything. honestly most of the newer posts there are all about Day Z anyway

can anyone confirm that weapons not used in DayZ have been changed?

that's what I was thinking. and not just a "tweak", some guns have have 1/3 of their former damage can anyone confirm that weapons not in DayZ have been changed?

maybe with a 22. but a 45, point blank, right into your chest? the other thing that's missing is the stopping power. you're shooting a zed at point blank range, and he's still hitting you like nothing happened. they should at least be knocked back or stunned for a moment. but I'm not sure how easy it would be to work those mechanics into the game

damnit they got me too >:(

just lower the zed's health but there's still issues with how it effects pvp. players health could be reduced too, but then you'd also have to balance the zed damage

the problem is a lot of time those times aren't accurate the best way seems to be just looking for severs that are full

also in real life, when I run face first into a tree, I get hurt. I just tested it :)
