I joined two days ago and just brought in two of my Dayz-friends and so far my stay has been enjoyable. Friendly talkative people and a sidechat(!) makes for a more social experience. The relatively strict admissions policy and policing of alt+f4 will definitely relieve some of my frustrations from the 'public' servers. As stated above - all we need now is a bigger player pool, so don't be shy and come on in ;)

sent an application. Hope to play Dayz like in the days before flying busses, a50s and alt+f4 became the norm

I've killed 10+ players during the last week or so, but only one had decent gear. Every time I engage a player in camo/ghilie they alt+f4 within seconds. Thinking back on my months of play time, I've only killed camo/ghilie guys with m14/AS50 - simply because these weapons 1-2 shot. - Spot a camo and a newbie in electro. Stalk them to Stary (1hr+) and lie in wait kill the newbie, but only one enfield shot hits the camo guy before he disconnects. - Sneak around for 15 min following the sound/zombies of a balota-sniper. Jump his pine tree. he disconnects while i reload having wounded him. It pisses me off that automatic weapons or anything that isn't a onehit kill has so little use in PvP. I want to hit/be hit and survive, i want people to bandage mid fight, i want strategy and patience to pay off. The only lenghty gunfights i've had with geared players have been when clans have clashed and fought over dead bodies or vehicles. TO HELL with all you camo/ghilie guys and your cat like disconnect-reflexes. Sorry for whining.. But this has been driving me crazy lately

My past five deaths: #1 pine tree #2 thunderdome #3 legit kill by player #4 kill all 36 players on ther server-command #5 player equipped with aimbotting helicopter gun mowing my friend down (who shot him in the back) and then me and another friendfrom 600 m away ...but I soldier on and launch the game again today. Spawn near Cherno, run north and in the hills just above I find one tent full of bloodbags, one with backpacks, map and an AKM. Great! Back on track! Then i find a fourth and a fifth tent 500 m further up parked in pinetrees. The first is empty.. the scond one removes all land and drops me off 300 m above the sea and then I fall to my death. I don't think I have the patience for this game anymore...................... tents hacker hacker tents sandbags hacker

So I tried playing on the private server. Problem was I only managed to get in once. Then spent 1-1½ hours "loading". Gave up and went back to play on my friends' public server that untill recently has been relatively clean. Here I got: - sniped 3 times in and out of cherno - killed along with the other 36 players on the server - finally killed by a guy in camo suit and who had a fully automatic crossbow (at least it said 'tin-tin-tin-tin-tin-tink') aand then I died. Waiting for standalone. Sigh..

Im trying to join this hive http://www.reddit.co...t_to_be_played/ I've got 1.62.96895, but it says i cannot join because "Required: 1.62.96895" How do i get around that? EDIT: restart was needed to make it work

You're a good man! :) Occasionally I find survivors who put up a fight regardless of the odds. I always appreciate that spirit regardless of the outcome of fight!

The one well geared player I killed this week was actually around Gvodzno (m14, aks, m9 sd etc), but then again that was six m14 shots to the chest. I don't know if he qualfies as a REAL survivor?

No. Grass only shows at close range. If you prone in a field 200m from me, you have grass in your face while i see you as a big dark blob in the middle of a barren grassless field... Sacriel42 has a video in which a sniper does exactly this.. lemme see if I can find it

1. ALWAYS bring one more mag - even if you travel light. 4 mags is a new minimum for me (ask yourself: do I have enough ammor to shoot out the tires/driver of a moving vehicle). Yesterday I spent 60 shots with my semiautomatic M14 in a lengthy squad firefight w. vehicles. 2. COVERING CORPSES. If you have killed part of your enemies' squad or your friends have been killed, find a vantage point to cover the corpses and wait for your enemies to come loot. They WILL come sooner or later, and when they do, wait for them to sit and take the 100% shot(s). Keep in mind that they are likely to ghost in next to the corpses, so stay very alert. 3. GRENADES. Hold the button when firering a handgrenade to give it range. Remember handgrenades will bounce off the thinnest coniffer branches and kill you or your teammates more often than your enemies. 4. SNIPER HILL. You best chance of finding good gear on a new spawn is on the sniper hill by Elektro. Get a gun and make your way up there from behind. On high population servers, snipers will very often be lying in wait there. Shoot them in the back and take their loot. You'll find corpses there too (sometimes not looted).

*JERRY CANS AND BROKEN LEGS* Artifacting forced me to close the game and log back in. When I cam back in my jerry can had copied itself and replaced my MORPHINE and PAIN KILLERS. 10 minutes later a zombie knocks breaks my legs and gives me the shakes in one hit......... I was on 12k blood, alone near Kamenka with the best gear you can get... BUT I FOUND A BICYCLE and rode all the way back to my base (with broken leg) HAH!

My group and I found a chopper with an AS50 among other things. It's my first sniper (having played a month though) and I wanted to try it out at the NW airfield. I get one kill as a player is running away from me at 700? m distance out in the open. First shot misses, but the second hits just after he leaves my viewdistance :) It starts raining and i change to a new server, lie and wait 10 minutes without anything happening then all of a sudden i hear the grunting of a zombie. I look behind me in 3pd-view and see one zed crawling like 10 m behind me towards Vybor. We're 300m from the nearest building and I had yet to fire a single shot, so I can only assume that another player must have run right past me trailing a slow moving zombie. That got my heart going and it makes me try to piece together the scenario that went before this :P I really appreciate those 'what-on-earth-happened-here-moments'

This was my playthrough today: 1. spawn at castle agro one zombie, sound agroed another 10ish, get out, agro 10 more seemingly endlessly respawning, get shot by accident by friend. 2. restart, run with hidious HDR and 3 fps inland agroeing 8 zombies, finding no weapons. Checked 2 dearstands once i got rid of some zombies, but only a few mags. Tried to check a barn but there were 2 zombies outside and 2-3 inside it. 3. Met with friend, but most of my gear had disappeared from his bags since we switched servers 4. get one AK with 1 mag from a dearstand but a random agro zombie breaks my legs (due to lag making it impossible to kill anything that's not hitting you) 5. we have 3 mags left the two of us combined now. Since I have no morphine im forced to crawl for literally 20 minutes to the nearest supermarket. As I crawl away from the deerstand I count 13 zombies. THIRTEEN ZOMBIES AROUND A DEERSTAND!? 6. I scour two houses for supplies, but only magazines no weapons and definitely no morphine. 7. friend loots supermarket, I crawl to it, but somehow some agroed zombies somewhere in the darkness hears/him and attacks me on my way in. Im still crawling, but kill around 6-10 zombies, my friend does the same... but there were probably over 20 and we don't know how we agroed them. So that was my experienced with 1.71. I think it's shit. I did not see a single weapon. I wasn't able to enter barns and only barely deerstands. Long range agro combined with quadroupled zombie numbers, lag and no morphine means that the game has gone from fun to very unpleasant. YES ZOMBIES ARE A THREAT NOW... but it's more fun to play fearing players than lagging, hitting through walls, respawning, rangeagroing zombies without any weapons

SOLVED. I added the parameters to steam and right clicked to run as "COMBINED OPERATIONS". Ran as admin and had also reinstalled battleeye, but i think the combined oprations trick was what made it work :)

I too am experiencing this problem. I have shot some pictures of my screen (oldskool) - maybe it'll help show exactly what happens When joining a server http://i47.tinypic.com/6ru13t.jpg loading http://i46.tinypic.com/1hekp.jpg receiving data http://i49.tinypic.com/nnr253.jpg This is where I get stuck, though sometimes I get the following message or something similar about a cfg glasses something. http://i48.tinypic.com/2il1tt.jpg … and then I’m back at the server screen with a waiting for character to create message. Any help that could solve my problem would be very very welcome. PS. I’m running a clean install of Arma and Arrowhead with the parameters… -mod=@dayz -nosplash -world=empty …in my shortcut.
