    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    This is not World of Warcraft. If you die while logging out of World of Warcraft, you lose nothing. I doubt you see logic on any level.

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    This is certainly a serious issue, however, I promise you the gear doesn't lose it's value. People who can't find this stuff, won't find this stuff. Duping makes it no less common for everyone else. It just makes it so those who have it have no fear of losing it, since they have duped copies at a camp somewhere. Essentially, the only people the gear becomes common for is dupers, so you might want to ask your clan to stop ruining the game for you.
  3. I doubt you were using the script for that, considering you can A.) go into the armory and test any and every vehicle and weapon in ArmA 2 and B.) you can use the editor to create a map with any weapon or vehicle in the game to test them out. I don't understand why people would 'test scripts on private servers'. In fact, I challenge that they do not. They may play on private servers, but I don't think they're testing anything, except how much hacking players can take before they rage.

    Holy god that is terrible. Is that why i've seen people connecting with errors like "blah blah blah different from server rocks.pbo"?

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    I'm not really in love with the respawn button being removed as people don't want to spend hours re-connecting with their friends. Unless this is causing an issue with servers? Otherwise, without being able to respawn, it's going to take an extra 3 minutes to find some zombies to kill me and let me respawn. Much less time than actually walking across the gigantic map.

    This is to all the Bandits out there!

    And people wonder why we just kill people we want loot from...
  7. I actually had two empty bottles disappear on me yesterday. Got pretty annoying. Wasn't doing anything differently than I normally do, and they didn't disappear immediately. I just went into my gear and they were no longer there(main inventory, not backpack. I had full ones in my backpack and those remained.)

    Forum Z

    Go to the new player forum if you are expecting help. General discussion is not for 'how do I..." threads. This sounds like somebody died in PVP.

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    The answer is obvious. It should affect them the same as everybody else. Server hopping to loot or server hopping to 'medic'. Still server hopping. I'd be mightily pissed if I just knocked someone unconscious at range with an M4 and then some random server hopping medic gets him up while i'm trying to get closer, allowing him to escape/return fire. Server hopping is server hopping and shouldn't be condoned for any reason.
  10. This question has been answered before and there was no reason to make a new thread about it. It's a stupid idea. Move on.
  11. The frequency of events on these servers lead me to believe it's only one guy. I imagine eventually he'll get a global ban and then it'll be a question of how much he wants to spend to keep hacking.

    Breaking Point <.<

    You know, the reality of the situation is everybody becomes a bandit the moment they see somebody with better gear than them. Oh sure, you convince yourself you're not a bad guy by helping noobs and whatnot, but you guys don't fool anybody. There is no such thing as friendly in DayZ. It's just friendly for now.

    Anyone else feel that .50 cals....

    The weapon wasn't added by accident. There is a very specific list of weapons in this game. They aren't going anywhere. Quit your bitching and get used to it.
  14. Confirmed, this happened to me at 9:00. Got some serious FPS loss, looked around, saw about 10 survivors that looked identical wielding hatchets so I disconnected immediately.

    Possible hacking on US 5 (unrepentant)

    Well, hard to say with the admin being in the process of moving. I'm not quite ready to give up on US 5(Seemed to finally be running smooth last time I checked it), and as you mentioned, we're quite established there. Naturally we'll be setting ourselves up on other servers, but still hoping US 5 gets sorted out and gets regular attention.

    Safe Zone Idea

    Use VOIP. Tell them to disarm, leave, or die. See? The tools exist. Just use them.
  17. I think the AS50 does somewhere in the vicinity of 100,000 damage. So yeah, it was probably a sniper.
  18. Being a generic survivor is easymode. Zombies are easy. Get some real guns and hunt players who also have real guns. Then tell me it's easy mode when you get spotted by a thermal scope and murdered by a .50 cal sniper rifle. You're bad and your thread is bad. You should feel bad. Do it somewhere else, and quietly, please.

    "Endgame" and my story.

    Old meme is old. Stop saying them in every thread. -1 internets.

    Safe Zone Idea

    No, there aren't safe zones in apocalyptic movies. You're confusing what you are asking for(artificial safe zones) for what is ALREADY possible in DayZ- survivor established gathering areas that are only as safe as people make them. You want a safe zone? Make one. Defend it yourself. Invite people to join you there. I don't care. Don't expect the game to do it for you.
  21. I was fine before the last beta, but then experienced annoying fps lag/microstuttering. Adjusted the config as per your post and now everything is silky smooth. Good find, sir!

    Low FPS after patch

    Same problem. Core i7 920, GTX 470. After the latest patch, low FPS on all settings. Ran fine before. Hasn't effected my friends so no idea what the cause could be.

    Safe Zone Idea

    No. If you want a safe zone, you want to play a different game.
  24. Terrible thread. I declare trollbait.
  25. Went a little delete happy there, didn't you, buddy?
