god, yes please. I love armas mission editor.Ive probably spent more time in it than the game itself

I agree. i was like, shocked when i read "EA" :lol: Codemasters and the whole OPF tm thingy are like a perfect example how to ruin good games when you have a greedy publisher. Or C&C series if you wanna talk EA. Im just so glad BiS went on their own.

It seems like you tried everything. I guess you also tried to reconnect. I once sunk into the floor, but after reconecting i was back on the road again, next to my dead body. If reconecting didnt work, send a ticket http://feedback.dayzgame.com/ In my case they were super fast. Ive sent the ticket on sunday nite, problem was solved monday morning.

Yeah Imonna call pure BS on that. I guess anyone who kills you is cheating. I've met my first cheater after 300 hrs of gameplay on SA and even than i left with a small possibility it was just desync. Arma2 & addons? Seriously? I stopped playing Arma2&addons MP altogether after getting tired of login into servers, just to find myself flying with a rocket launcher nuking entire server & getting banned.But hey, i loved every second in mission editor so all good. This was going on years ago, i dont even want to know how it is now when the game costs like 3 bucks. Keep playing your cheatless mod lol.

Few things i cannot interract with wont ruin my dayz experience.Neither will current bugs.I think the whole game athmosphere is developing in the right direction. I also must be one of the rare people who like the whole clumsy 1pp. As far as the HUD/UI goes i wish it was completely gone. If you wanna ruin dayz in one move..placing player icons above their heads would be that one move. This actualy made me laugh.They made cheap fps shooters and attempted to quantify money. EA would realease dayz half a year ago, selling 0.52 as a brand new premium DLC. v3s not included, thats another DLC. Shut down servers after 2 years Release Dayz 2 (dayz beta) -prepurchase with premium & pso scope DLC & FOV setting DLC

ohhh :) noice, i tottaly missed that one out! If that's the plan...different wind types at different weather would be helluva awesome.I just hope it wont be too random. Anyway, Im no meteorologist, so time for me to shut up :x

so.. any chance of giving us the ball & catchers glove?

i generaly agree with the gun values but wind effects? I highly doubt they would add "wind" in the game as such, sounds like something they would need to put a huge deal of work and resources into. and the only cheap way of doing it would be... RNG. No, thanks. If anything, this belongs more into arma series. It's DayZ, survivor game, not cold war crisis where it was all about "check this awesome sound delay after my rpg missile hits that hill, how accurate!". I for certain dont need wind and 15 different calculations when i fire my gun and I've always been a fan of hardcore recoil fps shooters like dod 1.3, RO series etc. It's just that to me it seems like a huge waste of resources.Resources they could use for so many other things. You already need to keep your character dry, not cold nor hot. It's really not that easy in a full ghillie suit.And devs said that's only the beggining. I overheated in NWEAF by lying in grass and got freezing status an hr later in myshkino that i still havent got rid off,even tho i sat by two fires and grilled 3 boars (guts in jacket) in the meantime. Weather can easily bring down the fog and and decreases visability. It rains allot so good luck staying motionless for 20 minutes without getting cold. And good luck not overheating if you're wearing gorka+high capacity. Same goes for CQC. you have no backpack so its either (in my case) trusty revolver, or low on ammo 74 short/mp5 that takes the full vest (unless you're smersh lucky). That is if you dont put vests into vests into vests into hunting backpack two trees behind you.All the ghillie dudes i encountered *coughs*killed*coughs* died 'cause they came back to civilisation for one reason only, they were lacking on something badly. Either food, water, bullets. A bush in the middle of hospital hallway??? WAAAAIT A MOMMENT O.o Whoever kills me with a mosin deserved it and i wont call it EZ OP wep. Like some1 above me said (sorry for not quoting) it takes allot of patience, so cuddos; you deserved my scalp.Some people treat mosin like its a weapon that gives out free kills.. I find assault rifles allot more powerful if the player can burst fire properly. You can prefire in cqc, spray and you will still come ontop.Fusillade for the win. Now that's something that requires absolutely no skill. Add 3pp and you get APB; Chernarus P.S.. yea i wub it...

If you get a cherno spawn, run for dubky& novoselky than continue Chapevsk prison->Balota AF->Pavlovo mil Base->Start looking for heli spawns->Zeleno mil base->Green mountain Prison->Vybor mil Base->NWEAF If you're not doing it on an empty server, this should do the trick. You might add the far north mil base aswell. Thx to the new little NW towns, the base is not so lonely anymore. This is another option.I find Novi pretty KOSish aswell.You're almost guaranteed to see people travelling if you monitor the popular beach route cherno<->elektro<->kamyshovo<->solnichy<->Berezino

walkie + a batterie could be a much more fun experience as a fresh spawn.global or not, i like the idea :)

Sorry :) By training zeds(mobs) i ment aggroing entire place of zombies in order to follow you. I find churches huge enough to lock in entire city population of zeds.From my observation, they start glitching thru walls drastically at 7+ zeds so it takes allot of retries. Bonus points if someone fires at you; run/lure them back to church and open up the doors. Zombies love gunshots.

Murphy is strong with DayZ People are like loot in this game. Got .357 ammo ? no magnum for the next 5 villages. Remember that Makarov you dropped 10 minutes ago? Say hi to makarov magazines in every piano house you will enter. Want to meet some people by going thru middle of cherno,berezino and novi? Sorry, everyone is at stary jar. Dont want to meet anyone ? Most of encounters i ever had were completely unexpected.

joined a random private shard i havent visited before. met a really nice freshspawn and we head together towards berezino. It's nice having someone to talk random stuff when you're walking down the road, careless. Soon after we encountered another freshy who joined us. It didnt take us 5 minutes untill we bumped into an armed group who acted friendly, just so they could kill the other two bambies, who were naive enough to stop moving. I ran in a bush and started stalking them all the way back to solnichy. They encounter another freshspawn. two start hunting him and the third was keeping it back to provide cover with his firearm. im only some 5 metres away from him now. He gives me a perfect chance as he starts eating. I rush in his face and start punching his face. "remember me, bitch??" sadly, those punches werent enough to knock him down, so i ran off the second i saw switching weapon animation. They loose a track of me.Again.God damn newbie lamers, i always encounter them as a freshy. I start stalking them again. I ambush them a few times more, but now they're all wearing helmets and firearms. I decide to just annoy them and run around them like the most annoying mosquito you ever encountered. They shoot like crazy bt fail to hit me every single time. One of them actualy starts begging me to gtfo. "that's what you get for killing newspawns" I annoyed them for a couple more minutes than let them kill me. They start speaking german as im uncouncious. Im not really goot at deutsch but i defenately understood that they will be heading back north. Server restart. I call up my buddy and we decide to it's time for some peeveepee. Got myself a bow and gave my friend a trusty Magnum.We ran all the way from elektro and finaly met the fuckers in svetlo square. I immidietely caught their attention but unfortunately my fps dropped to a marvel comic rate so i could only draw fire. They all focus on me as my friend flanks them.I died. But so did they. 30 seconds, 5 dead bodies. 1 bow for 1PSU SKS, repeater and two shotties. was satisfied looking at all those 4 ruined drybags. Worth dying. The sight of all the bodies at square was horrifying tho :D

get in as many conversations you can. from my experience less than half of encounters ended up with someone dead. learn to communicate with other survivors without making them feel threatened and without exposing yourself for an easy kill. I think being able to interact with players without ending it in a bloodshed is defenately one of the best skills you can conquer in this game, unless you're all about KOSing. with 30 hrs ingame you couldnt explore the whole map at all. Also, from my experience, if you havent played any arma games before SA, id say the game requires quite a bit of "eye training". After you will be running the woods for some xxx hrs, you can be sure you will notice every pixel that doesnt belong there. Go check all the easter eggs (statue, pyramide sign, blairwitch reference, naked dude etc). Check all the military installations (could take you a few lifes). Check the shipwreck just outside berezino towards svetlo. Wildlife(from tuna&rabbit to goats,chickens & boars) ponds (did you know a few updates ago, we had all the pipes bugged out, not working?) crafting/planting...so much stuff try every gun in game try every melee snipe zombies from 800m+ fist fight zombies untill you get the melee system and you can knock them out with one punch most of the time.without getting hit ofcrs. try drinking alcohol try puking it all out try desinfectant no,pls,dont try desinfectant Get a truck, drive around cherno with ice cream van melody playing Search for trucks, helicrashes. memmorise locations, make your own fastest route. fill a mountainbackpack with glowsticks and light up a city & droll at the pretty lights train zombies like its a MMORPG Get yourself a Brian teddy before it's too late. Make a party in cherno untill a group of armed guys KOS you all. already mastered it all? get a gillie & bow, go back down to the beach, protect newspawns, robin hood style. get a longsowrd and go konnan on their asses. RP the sky is the limit

i actualy often hold onto my old box of 9 matches instead of switching it for a full 80+ box. i kno. i kno i like to live dangerously.

I enjoyed exploring the new towns up in the north. The Kamensk bridge and stary jar are awesome eye candies. would love to get a spawn up there ! Zaprudnoe is ok, it looks different. Ratnoe and Polesovo could use a bit of polishing up tho. yes please.

I play on 15'' monitor atm whilst my buddy gets the luxury of 26''. The difference is not even funny. I obviously play with FoV allot since i see on my friends monitor at just how much disadvantage i am if i dont do it. the far zoom out and far zoom in is a bit extreeme tho.Abuse would be a harsh word. Cant afford a bigger monitor would be more suitable lol Dont waste time removing the dot in the middle unless you want it gone for purely cosmetic purposes.It doesnt really serve well anyway and whoever will want the dot back will get it back by a simple shader. Everytime i read increase scatter/dispersion i think of wot 25% +/- RNG. No thanks.I rather get shot in the head 10 out of 10 times than to have my character played by dice rolls.Im perfectly fine missing after long run, but not randomly because "RNG" helps with those random elements that are not in the game such as butterfly landing on tip of your nose when you try to headshot someone...

I usualy play as a lonewolf, but lately ive been playing with a friend who i successfuly infected with dayz (yay). *The more we play, the more i notice our characters often gets in levitating motion. Now if this was only happening when i run or walk, i wouldnt mind (that much), but what ive noticed is a bit shocking and i would love to know if there is a way of "restarting" this characters bugged levitating animation.Or, at least what's causing it so i can avoid doing it in the future. *The thing is, even if i lay down in a bush, my friend still sees me standing, constantly playing with my axe,moving. Ive also noticed our characters often lie about its position. Not by much, 1-5m at max, but, it makes me wonder how the hell can you hit something that is there on your client but isnt on his. Does the server simply accept what your client tells it; if im shot on friends pc, will his client send "i hit player X in his torso" and the server will "accept" this and send me dead screen. Or is character positioning & firing completely server sided ? *There are momments one of us desyncs, and when his character(server?) is catching on his real (client?) position...well, you get to see stuff people usualy mark as cheats if they see it. He was already running twice my speed..10m above me up in the air, teleporting up to 50m and so on. Is there any way of knowing this is happening to you when you play alone? Apart from obvious rubber banding. Any insights on this are welcome :)

Awesome stuff, thanks for your time, makes it allot more clear to me :) As for the connection, we are both using 100/10mbps optics, wired. I tend to pick low latency servers and i cant really complain about my ping ( 20-40 ).I will try running tracert. Im mostly worried about my character doing stuff im not doing. Like pulling out a gun infront of other survivors when i just try to be friendly or standing in the middle of a field when im actualy lying on the ground.

A friend o mine, who likes to alt+tab in the middle of a road to check the map, wanted to check the new NW locations, so we joined a low pop (around 10 players) private shard. We were heading towards the abondoned mil. base. As we arrive there, i park myself in one of the spots i find quite OP, when it comes to cover and camo. My friend continues looting the base untill we head for the small pound to have a drink. Obviously, just when we do that, i notice a guy entering a prison. Im thinking of rushing and closing the prison doors, trying to talk it out, when i see another guy entering the prison. Alright, at least two of them. This is gonna be harder to negotiate,plus, shortly after i lost the track of the 2nd guy and i know he's not inside anymore. I hope for the best; that they will magicaly not go towards water to drink an refill. Im thinking what to type in global chat, so we can all come out alive. I finaly see them regroup infront of the prison as im hidding in the concrete small corner next to the lake in my ghillie. Well...fml they're heading towards water. Its only a couple of metres between me and the first guy.I was seconds before standing up with my magnum aiming at them telling them to freeze.But... All the sudden he stops and starts walking backwards behind the trees. He might have seen my compensator sticking out, idk, his movement didnt seem natural. At this point im certain he knows something is wrong.Too late to make friends now, i wield my magnum and wait. I see the other guy immidiately trying to make a flanking maneuver. i knew if he comes too far on my right he will get a perfect shot on me - if he spots me. I pre-aim the corner and wait. Not being proud of it, but i take him down immidiately i felt like he spotted me - he went prone and pulled out his primary in my direction, idk if he actualy saw me, bu his intentions could not be harmless. I dont move a muscle.Now i know the 2nd guy is either infront of me or tried flanking his side. Somehow, i hope he will try to go for the friends body, so i can just disarm him instead of killing. As long as i could provide us a safe exit, he can keep everything.And you never know if there's a third guy either. As im reloading my magnum i get that laggy magazine/drum thing and cant really reload... this is really bad timing -.- Im trying to explain my friend where to keep an eye out for him ,as i tried to make my magnum work again. The 2nd guy indeed tried to flank us from the other side as I expected (very good job man, it might have been ingame sound bugs or you actualy rolled all around and we failed to spot u). He kills my friend but fails to spot me. I look at him and notice he doesn't even know im here.what.the.hell. -why did he run away from the lake if he didnt know im there. You dont mistake a gilie sniper for an sks helmet guy either. i raise my magnum and aim at his head. he looks down my friends body.I give him a second to realise the mistake & to look up at me... i was genuinely sorry when i pulled the trigger. It was just me left in the middle of three bodies. the wind blowing breaks the silence, i hide bury my friends body & move out of this deserted place. Sorry guys, i tried to make contact, but once u ran right into my direction, ran off and started flanking the ruins i was hidding in, i felt really endengared. Im sure you didnt flank my position in the middle of mil base just to talk either, but, just in case you did; sowwy. P.S.S one of you was dressed exactly like the dude who was sniping on vybor military base a day earlier on the same server. We got in a little hilarious fight ontop of the hill spotting each other 5m apart just minutes before server restart :)

You can bug the cannister.

edit: Aw, at first i thought u found 250 matches, than i saw there's only 100 remaining. It was defenately over 100, don't have the pic, but im sure people will start posting higher numbers than mine anyway. afai remember it was around 101-105. P.S. love the challange idea.

i either hit the target in first shot like a pro or miss it all 5 15 times and die like a newbie.

+1. i love post ww2, cold war setting and all the relics from that era. http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2014/12/12-abandoned-cold-war-airfields-soviet-union-russia/ combine the overgrown vegetation on NW mil base and put that on balota... nailed it? I think BIS knows what they're doing :)

So sorry for missleading, i didnt know that. I must have been extreemly lucky to find them, but, the thing is, im pretty sure it wasnt wednesday... Is this the case for both types of helis or just US ones ? Edit: ok, my, bad, i just checked the server and noticed the persistance isn't on anymore.That would explain it. Again, sorry for false info.
