Jesus Christ The Goblin

Last night I gave my friends most of my public gear, The idea was that if I have nothing good I wouldn't care about dying and I would have hours and hours of fun........ That lasted an hour and now I have a mp5 + 3 magazines, M4 + 4 magazines, Enough ammo to start a small war and I even had to get a friend online to help pick up the rest of the crap and tents that I kept coming across. I'm either blessed or cursed

I'm not sure where I found each clip some were probably found in police stations and military bases but the houses I search are Piano houses, Yellow houses with pink roof, Log/wood cabins and Big brick houses. If I search all of those types of houses on my way to a destination I generally end up with lots of ammo and guns. I think I found Cr75 clips at tent city in the NW Air field but I'm so tired that I'm having trouble using my memory. Makarov clips are ridiculously abundant at the new military base near Myshkino. I've found more than a few 10Rnd .22 Magazines at police stations. Fast forwarded through my own gameplay footage and I definitely found a 1911 clip in a piano house. I tend to move quite quickly across the map since I almost exclusively loot those houses and police stations while on my way to military bases so maybe I find lot's simply because I travel long distances and go all over the map

It isn't hard to get pistol clips you must be looking in the wrong places. In the last two days I have found clips for the P1, 1911, CR75, Amphibia and many speed loaders for the magnum. I haven't just found one either, I have found a minimum of two for each of these pistols.

It sounds as though they are waiting until things are finished and ready for release rather than releasing incomplete updates.

You are probably right but I haven't had trouble with most of the servers I play and the ones that have these issues always have these issues, At least that's my personal experience. Generally if I find a server that plays well I stick to those servers. Also I crashed 4 different servers when I placed my military tents, Not sure if that's still happening this patch but it might be part of the issue.

Am I the only person who notices that zombies don't all behave in the same way anymore and there is actually a variety? Yes zombies are still annoying when the server desyncs but there have been massive improvements and there will continue to be improvements.... I'll have to remember to quote this when zombies are improved further. I hate that they added new villages, Mechanics, guns, clothing and engine updates, THOSE BASTARDS! They should clearly stop adding new content so we can say the development is dead. Oh too late. I wish people would actually view the Change log

Not sure about my first kill but the first time I shot a player was with a Mosin I was still really new to the game so I spent long periods of time scouting each town before I enter. I saw a player, His character had a rifle and he turned to face me, Being a noob I instantly thought that he had seen me so I shot him. He then put his gun away and started screaming "FRIENDLY FRIENDLY FRIENDLY OH MY GOD I'M FRIENDLY", I then came running out of the forest said sorry I wont shoot you again and ran away. As stupid as it sounds most of my player kills are with melee. I don't mean that I seek out other unarmed players and have a stupid strafe battle, I mean that when people try and rob me I run away 99.99% of the time. Then I normally end up hiding around a corner and melee the bandit to death when they give chase. My favourite anti bandit tactic is seem to cooperate then when they say "GET ON THE GROUND" I generally say "Ok I will get on the" and run mid sentence, Or ask them a question and run while they are mid sentence

Are you on the ground with full vision or does your character say you are unconscious? If you are on the ground but can still see everything, Log off, Log back on. It is a glitch when you throw certain items.

I have only ever had these problems on completely full servers and I've also noticed that the server lags tends to correspond with messages saying that a player has been kicked for having a ping too high or their connection isn't responding. When I play on half full servers (20 people) I have encountered none of these issues but that's just what I've noticed. I have noticed improvements each update. If you are standing still and your legs break it is generally related to server desync, Pick a different server with less people and you will be less likely to encounter this. Zombies going through walls is related to server desync and not their path finding, So once again pick a different server. Hot keys not responding isn't that there is something wrong with it's programming it is a server issue again. Or at least this is what I read or imagined that I read somewhere. Some servers are hosted on such crap hardware I'm not surprised the server crashes every 15minutes when put under load.

They actually are improving zombies, I can't seem to find the post but somewhere on the forum is a post which explains how they have been improving zombies and how the number of them will increase. They also explained that the path finding works fine but were working to make zombies more aware of their surroundings and the wall glitches were actually due to server lag not a lack of path finding. They also stated the number of zombies was going to be boosted up to 3000? without performance issues but these changes were still being tested. Wish I could find that post.... ^^^ Everything above is as close to accurate as I can remember without actually finding the post, So i apologize if I got something wrong I did only read the post once and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a dream?

I wish I had your self control. To give an example, I was playing a private server character last night. This character has 5 guns, It had 6 but I chucked the pump shotgun when I got sick of running slow. Does the character need a CR75 and a 1911 on top of a magnum and Longhorn. No. Will I throw them away as long as I have clips? No. He also has two pristine first aid kits. Do I need two? No. Will I throw either of them away? No, One of them is filled with Epinephrine and morphine because once again I couldn't pass it up.

I found two on separate occasions, while on the way to the tent that I found after searching for hours. I can't remember how I got the other tent? At that point I didn't pay much attention to tents because I already had enough storage.

I'm playing as a hoarder and having trouble stopping myself. Thank God I lost my 4 military tents or I would be hoarding even more stuff that I wont end up using. If they try and kill you they don't deserve your stuff, However you could attempt to shoot people in the leg, Handcuff them and then force your gear upon them.

At least you learned what not to do, That's almost as good as learning what to do.

This video deserves to be here. Also after viewing this I think we should be able to move with the bow drawn, Even if it's one of those soft skills I've heard so little about.

1) The first time I played dayz I encountered a female character so I yelled out "Friendly" and she waved. Then I hear "DIE BITCH" and this guy runs out from behind a building and starts hitting her. I was already injured from zombies (I was a complete noob) so when he turned his attention on me it only took one hit to knock me out. Then while unconconsious I hear the guy saying "CHAMPION CHAMPION, No one can take me on I'm the best" When I woke up he was bandaging so I ran at him and he started swearing, After knocking him out the female character runs over and helped me to beat him to death, We then looted his corpse and ran seperate ways because neither of us trusted each other after that. 2) Many months later I had an M4 and I saw someone who didn't have very much so I started shooting near him, I wasn't aiming at him just around him. He started running around in a panic screaming "FRIENDLY FRIENDLY, I AM FRIENDLY! I AM THE MOST FRIENDLY PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I AM FRIENDLY" I stopped shooting and said "I guess you get to live then" and ran away. 3) Another time I was a fresh spawn looting a piano house and I saw someone enter the building. I didn't know what to do so I ran into the corner, The player entered the room ran up to the desk and stood there with his back to me. I screamed into my mic "BOOOOOO" the poor guy almost had a heart attack. His character turned to face me but he couldn't really speak...... It was all "Ohwhehaea Wha-Whaa-Whatttt ttheee heelll aree you doing, what the? where the hell?", It sounded like the poor guy was having trouble breathing and couldn't really string together a sentence so i started running away he shot but missed every shot and I got away. 4) I came accross three players on the coast, One just ran along and instantly started trying to kill the other two so I asked if they wanted help, They said ok and I helped to kill the guy trying to melee them. The two players sounded young but said they were friendly so we looted a few houses together but once one of them got ammo they came and asked me if I knew the "F11 trick".... I told them that I'm not that stupid and one of the kids shot near me and said "That is a warning shot, Press F11", I straight away pulled out my improvised knife and stabbed them both. I was running around aiming for their gear because each piece of their gear was changing to a ruined state very quickly. After I died I could hear them saying "OH MY GOD HE RUINED EVERYTHING" That was the day that I learned improvised knives ruin clothes and bags fast.

What are your computer specs and version of windows? I just googled your problem and a few solutions that I found were 1) Launch Steam2) Right click on DayZ3) Go to Properties4) Go to Set Launch Options5) Type "-window" (without quotation marks) 6)Click ok and launch dayz If that fails 1) Launch Steam2) Right click on DayZ3) Go to Properties 4) Go to local files 5) Click on browse local files 6) Go into the folders _CommonRedist > DirectX > Jun2010 7) Run DXSETUP.exe 8) After going through the setup launch dayz You may also have a virus scanner of firewall that is interfering, Disable them temporarly and try dayz again. If that fails update your graphics card drivers and do some windows updates as someone reported their problems went away after doing that. Sorry if my google magic didn't help.

You moved suddenly before saying a word? People that do that tend to be hostile so I'm not surprised he shot you, You could have been trying to run away so you could pull a weapon out of your backpack. He probably should have given you a few more seconds but in this game there are two types of people, The quick and the dead.

Because dayz is a game created for entertainment and that's what some people find entertaining. 80% of the people I encounter on dayz try and kill me, I have been killed many times by people that I could have shot before they ever saw me. I have even had people scream friendly while trying to shoot me. I used to try and be friendly and I still am most of the time but I also shoot people who have their gun out because I've been shot enough to learn my lesson. After experiences like mine I'm not surprised everyone tries to shoot each other without asking questions.

I don't play dayz because its the same as real life, If I get the urge to play real life I will load up real life and go play that. I play dayz because its fun. I absolutely love the realistic elements and feel they do add to the fun but at the end of the day I play Dayz because it's a game that I find fun. If the game was based entirely on realism rather than what I find fun, Then I would simply play a different game. There will always be a trade off between what is real and what is enjoyable to play (Although everyone finds different things enjoyable), As long as there is some balance I will continue to play and continue to have fun. I Love you Dayz.

After a few bans the hacker might get sick of wasting their money and move onto other games which are similar but will be free..... Short of hunting them down and doing things to them in real life what do you honestly expect them to do to prevent people from making a new account on a new ip address using new financial details to purchase a new copy? Come on be reasonable. This is a step in a positive direction, Is it the ultimate solution? NO Will it improve with time? Most likely. Some of you expect miracles. After reading these forums and getting to know this community I'm not sure about the report system. People are such whiners here I wouldn't be surprised if 100% of kills are reported as "hacks". PS: My frustrations towards the community aren't directed at you, I actually like some of your posts, I just quoted you because it was convenient.

All? My group doesn't. If you have a well organized group you don't need to go loot hunting everyday. I know most of the people I play Dayz with personally so we are always sharing items, If someone has a clip for a gun someone else uses they normally give it up without even being asked unless they also want the same gun. Each person has different preferences on what they wear, Some prefer civillian clothes, Some prefer military gear. Some of us even wear grey as urban camo or black to look like a zombie at a distance, Even when everyone appears to be wearing the same stuff we generally have very different items inside the gear. I'm sure there are lot's of groups who do duplicate but saying all of them do is a ridiculous claim. At one point I had a M4 with two ammo boxes totally full of clips, I didn't collect them all in one go. I had to raid a tent for clips then found the M4 with a backpack hidden on the coast and killed someone else for the other clips. If someone had killed me they would have assumed that I duped the items just because it was ridiculous but over time you can horde amazing things on dayz, Especially when you have a tent to store the crap you aren't currently using. I ended up giving the M4 to my brother because I couldn't enjoy Dayz anymore, I had everything I needed and instead of enjoyment I simply had fear of dying. I don't mind dying with gear but the idea of someone killing me and recovering my gear.... That makes me sad inside. My brother had the same problem so he ended up giving it all away to some random person who seemed nice and tried to give him food. Also worth mentioning is that we don't always group up, We often play solo so when we do next meet up we generally have to spend time swapping items.

This is the main part I have problems with. Some people hate human contact. Perhaps my character despises humans and believes that the infection was deserved due to their sins. Perhaps my character is a vegan who loves all animals but sees humans as lying untrustworthy scum and zombies are Gods way of cleansing the earth of the evil that is humanity. Perhaps my character has been abused his entire life and has social anxiety. Perhaps my character doesn't crave social contact because it's my character and I should decide whether I'm going to be a lunatic or someone who needs as much attention as a 4 year old. Just because some people are needy doesn't mean my dayz character should be forced to be. This has nothing to do with it hurting the lone wolf and more to do with the fact that while some people can't last 5 minutes alone others can do just fine so it should be an individual thing rather than a forced thing. I really really hope they don't start adding psychological disorders unless they are the players choice and then I would try each and every one. Imagine your character is hungry but you can't eat because your character is anorexic. Imagine your character has an irrational fear of heights and you climb a building then your character refuses to move because he is terrified. Imagine having a character that refuses to run because they are too depressed and doesn't see the point of trying to survive in such a terrible world. Imagine your character refusing to stay still for more than a minute because you have ADHD. Imagine having to clean your wounds 10x and open and shut doors an even number of times because your character is obsessive compulsive.

With a sledgehammer or axe I can easily take out up to 8 zombies without getting hit. Using a shovel I can take down 2-3 without getting hit most of the time, The key with shovel is aiming above where you think it will hit them in head because it drops as you swing. If I have a crowbar, Screwdriver or some other crap melee I don't even bother killing zombies, I simply lead them around town making sure that I jump fences and zig zag around crap that blocks their vision and ability to run in a straight line, After losing sight of me and not being in my immediate area the zombies deagro and leave me alone. I think you just need to play a bit more and get used to how to control zombies because they are way too easy when you do.

If someone aims their gun in my general direction I have a tendency to shoot them. I used to be nice but after having someone try blast me with a shotgun while they were saying friendly between their shots I don't trust anyone. If I told someone to leave and they didn't do it fast enough I would have shot them, Not necessarily to death but I would have shot them to show that when I say leave I mean that you should be running.
