I'll just stay with 1.7.1.5 for now, I'll check 1.7.2 out again in a few days (That's why you always back up your previous patch files, kiddies!). I tried 1.7.2 last night, but I kept getting stuck on the chracter screen on had to be close to ten different servers (But from the sounds of it, it was a server side issue). Plus my crews server is still running 1.7.1.5, just because we need stability for now. Hopefully 1.7.2 gets it's kinks worked out in the next few days, I've been looking forward to checking out this patch for some time now. As long as zombie aggro isn't off the charts, like it was with 1.7.1, which are what some people are saying ;)

One word: Alpha al·pha [al-fuh] noun 1. the first letter of the greek alphabet (A, α). 2. the vowel sound represented by this letter. 3. the first; beginning. Alpha See also: Alpha release Alpha is the stage when key gameplay functionality is implemented, and assets are partially finished. A game in alpha is feature complete, that is, game is playable and contains all the major features. These features may be further revised based on testing and feedback. Additional small, new features may be added, similarly planned, but unimplemented features may be dropped. Programmers focus mainly on finishing the codebase, rather than implementing additions. Alpha occurs eight to ten months before code release.

Haters gon' hate.

We were just minding our own buisness, when something emerged from the water...

Yeaaa I think I'll stick with 1.7.1.5 for now. I'm a little hurt that the L85 has been removed (if it has been in fact), it was a fun gun to play with (and one of my many favorites) but I gave it up a week ago for some true snipers/rifles, seeing in color constantly really gets to me after awhile. But it's a great support weapon for over watching a group or giving support to a sniper, if your playing mid-field (which is where it shines). Guess I'll just have to throw the DMR or M14 back over my shoulder :P I do fully and overly support rockets decision in going after hackers with a nuke, if it means losing gear and such in the process by all means. Stop acting like you guys are going to hold that gear for three months anyway, it's just a sneaky bandit bullet away from losing it all. I also apologise to all those hardcore elitiests who "never die", sorry guys luv ya all <3 Over the past two to three weeks, my group has been hit multiple times by hackers. It's just plain annoying and just about game breaking. I did just get reports that my groups stash of tents has all been wiped, a bit disheartning considering we spent the better part of a week gathering a ginormous cache of weapons/ammo/supplies, but we've rose from the ashes before and nothing has changed yet (other than us not having a cache now). Keep knocking those hackers down dev team!

They just keep on coming! The facepalms that is :blush: To see the other three facepalm videos (Four in total) check out my youtube channel here or click on the links below to be brought to each respective thread/video on the DayZ Fourms. The Original Facepalm The Facepalm Part Deux The Facepalm 2.5

With this many Facepalms, I may have to make it into a weekly series! Click here for The Facepalm Respawn Part Deux Click here for The Original Facepalm I may get The Facepalm 3 up today...I already have three new vids up on youtube today, so I'm happy. Not sure if I'll get it up today, since I have to re-gear from The Facepalm 2.5 and 3 yesterday :P

/nocomment The original Facepalm can be found here.... or on my youtube channel. I also didn't realise what 'enhance' did on youtube and just noticed that the original Facepalm video has been like that since I realeased it. It's in the process of reverting back to a normal video...stupid youtube and their features. Also as sad as it is...I have a Facepalm 2.5 and 3 coming soon :D

Key part of this hacker has been left out, most likely because it was my personal experience. Our group was in two seperate TS channels. I was on top of Devils Castle and logged in (I logged for a bio), as I was proning around up there, I heard foot steps...very close. I figured someone was coming up the stairs and went to them to investigate. As I came close to the top of the stairs at the top tower, I hit a small 'invisible block'. I could walk around it, so it wasn't a wall. After a few seconds of circling it, a M4A3 CCO (at least thats what the graphic looked like) along with probably 6+ mags and 6+ green satchels spawned in the 'invisible block'. It wasn't targetable and after a few seconds of spawning... it de-spawned (I assumed we had a hacker on the server at the time) and the handful of people in the TS channel I was in, was telling me to log...I didn't yet. A few seconds after the loot pile de-spawning, a chracter in guilie and some sort of assault rifle with the name "asdfnwuidk" spawned, at the previously mentioned loot pile. I was startled and went full auto into his back with my L85 (he spawned directly in front of me with his back to me). After putting 30 rounds into his back, waiting a few seconds and seeing he didn't budge, I logged. Right after that, the few that were with me in the TS channel heard that, they told me to go a channel down and tell the server admin (Turbo). As soon as I dropped into the channel, I heard craziness. People were talking about a guy who took a stupid amount of shots and didn't die, people were dropping dead randomly and a Ural was insta-popped, with the same name "asdfnwuidk". This group was a very long distance away from Devils Castle.

For a game that tries to follow the "realistic" route...I don't think lighting one up when your hungry or hurt to counter those effects makes a whole lot of sense.

Rocket himself said in an interview, his inspiration for the infected came from the movies 28 Days/Weeks Later. So just think of them as THOSE infected...not zombies.

Wow...has this thread really gained 100 pages in the past day or two, to people bitching about "when the patch is coming out?/please lock this thread!" First off, do you really want another 1.7.1 patch and have 4 hotfixes within a week or so? Let the devs work out the bugs and put out a solid 1.7.2 patch, seriously stfu, stop bitching and go kill some zeds, n00bs or bandits. Secondly, why complain about locking the thread? Your just showing your ignorance and adding fuel to the fire. Leave it open for constructive criticism (for something thats not even out yet -.-) and legit dev posts. /endrant

I'll be ready and able for today and as you guys know, I pretty much always have Fraps running. If there was no footage to be had, I just delete the record. But if something eventful, funny or in the case of the hacker, serious pops up it's already on my HD. I really want to get some footage for/from our OPs and perhaps put together a FS montage/intro video. But that does require a bit of good footage (not just us hanging around in a hanger ;P) Plus considering all I have is a sniper, idk how much 'good' footage I can get on a hill.

Yeaaa...don't lie, you know you've done it at least once!

You know you just jinx'd yourself...right? :P

At least I aplogised....

I'll be there tomorrow to lend sniper support. Yesterday and today I've worked late, I guess it was kind of a blessing I missed yesterdays Op...even though I was still ticked off that I missed it. At least the AS50 is safe and I'll probably be on extremely late tonight since I'm off Sundays. So if any groups need sniper cover, give me a shout on Steam. I'll probably be getting on TS/Mumble soon to see what everyone is up to. I need more footage too =P I only have one kind of long car ride to edit, but it was a lulfest, should make for a good video.

So here it is...for now. This is a shit low quality version, hopefully I'll be able to get a legit HD version converted tomorrow. This is the first unofficial Freeside Raid, read the youtube video description for info about what went down, there's no reason to type it here as well. ***Edit*** Video removed from DayZ related fourms due to people in said video not wanting to be noticed. -Xyro

I haven't even been on DayZ today, so I can't say. I've been editing and trying to re-learn which convert options to use to get a HD video output from Fraps footage from last night. Sorry bud.

Just about done editing my Fraps from a tent city we raided yesterday. I wasn't with the main party, but I went in afterwards solo to "clean up", spec ops style. It was going quite well until, some how, the server got mysteriously shut down. We still walked away with a very very nice chunk. I'll upload it to youtube within the next hour or so. Converting this 30min video is gonna take time -.-

It was good fun, even though an axe found its was into my back...literally =P Got some nice loot too, to people trying to flank out wonderful look out. After hours a few of us decided to group up and head up north. Unfortunatly when I logged back in after a small hiatis, I was spawned 10-15 off the ground and killed instantly....really quite shit. I don't mind dieing to a bandit or zeds, but to die on log in...wtf man! Either way, still good fun, wish there would be more of these meets through out the week and not just on weekends.

Hey guys, I'm twenty five and from the US...Eastern to be more specific. I'd like to join up with you guys if possible, although I work mornings to afternoon/late afternoon, I do occasionally stay up late. I've been trying to find a decent and active group to roll with, but so far all I've got were false hopes and let downs. I've been running solo as much as I can, but just when the going is getting good I'll either get ambushed by a bandit gang or picked off from a sniper from east bumblefuck (and it's not like I'm running around fields with no cover, I just have that luck). I use to play Eve and was in a large EU/US null sec alliance, so I have an idea of the activity when joining an EU group. It seemed to work for me most of the time and if your constantly growing, I'm sure there will be people on when I'm able to play. If your willing to give me a shot...give me a shout, my steam name is Pardon My Paradox.

Hey, I know you guys are doing this tonight or are already under way. But I've been trying to find someone to be a part of so far in DayZ. Most clans say they want you, but when I contact them they're quite slow in response, just give you generalities or aren't even close to being as active as they make themselves out to be. This sounds like it could be a great idea and very enjoyable. Count me in... Steam Name - Pardon My Paradox TS3 Name - Xyro (Pronounced Zi-Row, not zero) In-Game Name - Xyro Forum Name - Xyro Timezone (UTC) -05 (US Eastern) Roles you would like to fill: Mercenary, Guard, Pilot. I'd like to be part of keeping order or fending off bandits/zeds. I'm a decent driver and pretty good with a chopper, not amazing, but I have made many roof landings to drop/pick people up if that says anything.

Hey guys, I like the sound of how you operate. I've been trying to find a new group to run with, the guys I met back when I first started playing DayZ seemed to have stopped (there were only about 3-4 of us). But the game has become quite boring without communication and just to have someone at your back. I mostly stay solo in the game right now, just because, well you know you can't trust anyone lol. My steam name is Pardon My Paradox.
