Errr.. not sure about that one :/ It depends on how fast the truck is moving and what the incline is (as in how fast it is likely to stop moving once accelerator is released). Though i'd be interested to be proven wrong.

I don't talk to the enemy unless it directly assists my current plan to win the fight. I will also try to convince the enemy to talk to me so i can track his position easier when i can't see him, and also to take his mind off the fight as much as is possible. People aren't playing the game wrong by not talking to you. When i play the bandit my goal is to take what i need from you, secondarily to leave you alive. Saying people are playing wrong by not talking to you conveys a fundamental misunderstanding on your part of the tactical importance of communication to both sides.

What happened at the end was obvious. You should have landed the first shot (first 30 shots). Good vid i guess..

Not sure this aspect comes very high on the priority list right now, nor do i believe it should. Ability to adjust the driver height through some kind of seat adjustment control would be a nice finishing touch once literally everything else is dealt with tho. EDIT : Your other thread was likely closed because you can't communicate like a grown up. Try swearing less and sounding a bit less like a child throwing his toys out of the pram and your threads might have more chance to succeed. Butt-Hurt much?

I hope they add a timeout multiplier for every suicide. So first suicide you get the standard 1 Minute like when you change servers. 2nd within 15 minutes of first gets you a 5 minute timer getting back in. 3rd and all additional suicides within 15 minutes of the last get the full 15 minute timer before login. I see this kind of plan as the only way to wipe out people like the OP and make sure DayZ doesn't attract the CoD crowd for another reason. Even under this system people could still persuade others to kill them for quicker respawns but at least it would slow things down a lot.

Long as each RPG is like 2x4 sideways or vertical i don't anticipate much of an issue. I'll use em, but i'm not too worried about being killed very often by them.

Yeah dude i mean that 20 bucks coulda payed for a movie and some popcorn.. instead of the 1000 odd hours of massive enjoyment Bohemia tricked me into having. Boy do i feel duped. :rolleyes:

You got poisoned but didn't get the cannibal's brain disease. Brain disease consists of a weird laugh every 10 minutes or so and twitching every few seconds in a way that is semi disruptive to aim but not much else.

Well, the first time i encountered a ground swimmer me and my squad emptied around 200rds of ammo into him at close range to little effect that we could see. I thought i saw blood at one point but it could have been mine. He was enough of a distraction that all his friends ran in after him and wiped us while we were reloading. The second time was more interesting, i was in cherno fighting a guy. He had a P1 and a Blaze, i was a fresh spawn. I didn't have much to lose aside from a can or two so i had decided to try boxing him for his stuff. After losing the first round or two he started to run out of Cherno along the coast to the east until he arrived at a group of rocks that stick out from the shore. He climbed the rocks and jumped down to a lower rock about waist deep, then went from there into the water and swam back toward the shore. He kept right on swimming up onto the ground and started to come after me, taking pot shots at me with first the P1 and then the Blaze. I made fun of him for being such a poor player for a good 20 minutes as he missed every shot and followed me almost all the way through Cherno. Even had a go at getting close enough to take his pulse so i could mock him further, maybe even find out his clan name so i could mock them too but to no avail. Is there a known strategy for dealing with these twerps aside from just leave them behind you and go about your business elsewhere? It was fun to make fun of him and all, but i'd love to kill / ID him. Also i've heard on the grape vine that without hacks they cannot fire weapons while in the ground, is this correct? He was firing at me plenty.

+1 for video :D -1 for unsportmanly ending.. tut tut. Kiddin, beanz for you anyway.

Hopefully once player speed is properly reduced running zig zags away from a stick up won't be such a valid option :P Cool vid

In steam games, F12 is the screenshot button. Then you can just post links to the screenshots in your online steam gallery. Good find :)

buy a better pc and bla bla bla... Don't call a game trash because your hardware won't run it. Games not running when you bought them was WAAAAY more common back in the time of Duke Nukem actually ;) What are your PC specs? Does it meet the minimum requirements?

Actually, if your connection lagged right as someone sniped you, that's what you would get. A friend recently lost connection for a few seconds as he was running up to a guy to talk to him. All my friend saw was a guy running into a fence, looked like he was desyncing. My friend started to talk to the guy, then all of a sudden black screen and dead. We assume what happened is he lost connection and the guy guy he was trying to talk to who looked like he was just running into a wall actually shot him while he was timing out.

It's actually still a really fun game if you're willing to temporarily change your playstyle. You don't have to change your view of what it should one day be, to enjoy the fun parts of what it is now. I'm just using this "PvP only" vibe to get my PvP game well on point, while also remembering that one day things should be much more deep and survival based. Also, it's a sandbox so part of the experience will always be creating content of your own, and setting your own goals.

It's actually still really easy to find gear and food, which is why everyone is running around fully geared like a commando. Lack of meaningful zombies has effected the game and made it a little thin on entertainment but they'll be back in next patch we're told. It's an alpha and the game was always going to change a bunch of times for better and for worse as they play with settings and make it right. No, AI soldiers are a bad idea in my opinion. I'd just wait for zombies and new vehicles, new weapons and stuff. As far as food it's incredibly easy to stay alive to the point nobody worries about starving or dehydration anymore. I think they need to fix the Apple glitch, the Officer glitch and add hard ass zombies to the mix, all the while slightly reducing military grade weapon spawns. Then we'd have a monster on our hands ;)

Mine's fairly high end and i still use that method, it gives me noticeable FPS increase in big cities that really helps my aim.

Admins have no such capability. The being shot through walls could be a glitch rather than a hack but still just as irritating. Infinite ammo mags / bullets seem fairly common these days so hopefully they might be looked at one day soon. Was recently squad wiped by a guy swimming in the floorboards too <_<

Never heard of this happening before.

Haha interesting :) though i have never come across a wrong one that i noticed. Any chance you could help me find one? Maybe mark it on a map or just tell me which way to walk from a landmark or something? Cheers.

Basically it seems items protect you somewhat from the "bleeding" status, but if you do get the bleeding status then having many items in your bag will make that bleed worse. Shock as i can work out, is just worse the more items you carry. Either way, protector cases good. Ugg.

It's really a % increase of around 5-10% frame rate, it works on any system running windows. Bill Gates thought it would be a great laugh to with-hold some of your precious processing power, it makes windows "seem" faster when you do things like open another program while running one etc but the real noticeable effect is that you're missing out on some of the processing power you deserve :rolleyes: It's also wprth checking your computers Power Options (search Power Options in start menu search thingy) and setting your computer to a high performance profile, instead of the Balanced one it is likely set to. Used fractionally more electricity, makes your computer do what it's damn well meant to do <_< Hope it helps , u think it's worth making a separate thread if many don't know this stuff?

It's a confusing subject to be fair mate but i'll outline my thinking to better clarify. WOBO did a whole heap of tests to work out exactly the effect of items in a backpack and i'll link the video at the end. He discovered that each item stored in a backpack increased blood loss from a standard projectile by around 0.65% meaning that 35 slots (mountain backpack) filled with 1 slot items increases blood loss by approx 22.75%. He also discovered in a previous video that shock damage is increased in a similar way. His findings show that reducing the number of items in storage increases the number of hits a player can sustain. Moving on to protector cases and ammo boxes, even full of items a protector case is viewed as 1 object. This means that assuming you are going to fill more than one slot in a piece of clothing or bag you are better off grouping them into a protective case / cases purely to reduce the number of items taken into account when calculating blood and shock damage. He did discover as well that having items in your clothing reduces the chance of bleeding occurring at all, but showed that this reduced chance of bleed is of very little concern when compared to the extra shock amount and bleed amount produced by the item quantity. It's possible this has changed given the test is over a year old, however as far as i'm aware the devs have not updated the damage system since. Here's the link because i'm tired and can't explain as well as him : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iu6FfGlQi0 What dya think Mookie?

One decent FPS fix is : ○ ALT-TAB out of DayZ once it's loaded to menu screen ○ Hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE ○ Click Task Manager ○ Find "DayZ.exe *32" in process list Then : (if using windows 7, if not skip to next step) Right click "DayZ *32" process, got to Set Priority and click HIGH. You are now done. Then : (If using windows 10) Right click "DayZ *32" go to "Go To Details". Then in the Details tab that opens, click the already highlighted "DayZ *32" and go to Set Priority, set priority to HIGH. You are now done. You should see a noticeable improvement in FPS immediately. There are edits you can make in the games text files to improve FPS also but this is a quick easy fix with decent effect you can perform at any time. You must however set this priority every time you start DayZ. Beware if you are running other programs as well as DayZ such as OBS or other recording software, or you are streaming, this may effect those programs. EDIT : Re-read OP and realised this was nothing to do with FPS :blush:

Not so sure about that either.
