My favorite type of kill is shooting someone in the legs in a city or town nothing better than zombies finishing your job and watching *creepy laugh*

its meant to be that way, you can only navigate reliable with a compass and map, or a GPS in the beginning of dayz, i had problems finding ANYthing, once i found a map, i at least could look at village signs and landmarks to tell where i am finding a compass was something really great but when you play dayZ for some time, and can use the shift+click method to set marks, the compass loses its usefullness

countersniping is easy, just ide somewhere where no one can see you, and wait for as50/M107 shots to ring out, then wait until they take a few shots to pin their direction down, and try to approach them from the side or from behind cherno silos are very easy to snipe from the northern/western woods, or barricade an apartment you can see the towers from in elektro, try going to the north hill (not the north east) and see if there is someone on the north hill, but keep being out of sight from the north east hill the eletro north east hill can best be countered by coming from the north

i just use the stuff because when i dont... everyone calls me a noob and i have a serious disadvantage if everyone would be kept from playing with the brightness and gamma, i'd run around with a flashlight, because then not everyone will see me five kilometers away

not if you want to snipe at night without a DMR

TF2 is a team game, in cod i dont see any perks giving teamplay an advantage argumenting with cod having two teams and you cant shoot one of the teams is not applicable here because a splitsecond is enough to see who to shoot and who not to shoot in cod since no one is on "your team" in dayz, cod kiddies shoot everyone they see so yes, cod kiddie IS valid for this, it only describes players playing the game like a normal shooter, wich by any means DayZ isn't this topic is completely useless, just like the topics argumenting that "hackers" is no a valid term (which "hacker" really isnt, since people mean "cheaters" not "hackers" when saying "hacker", still the term has become valid through the community using it) the community made these terms valid, if you like them or not is completely unimportant

sure, choppers tend to either get people somewhere and do "touch and go" missions, or fly around searching for camps and with the bugged out trees, finding hidden stuff is just too easy, once someone on a server gets a chopper and has one or two people with him, in a day there will be only one HUGE camp, because all others were found and until you find that camp, no one will find vehicles, or be able to place a tent safely, or hide a repaired vehicle they should either fix the trees and remove the indicators on the screen side, or make a server option to remove choppers from a server

yeah, kind of sad... any good ideas go under because five hundred people yell and forget what the thread originally was about

someone modded dayz so it has no .50 rifles, less high tech gear and no sd weaponry, gonna try it if i can find a server with it

yeah, zed detection is a huge problem, if someone is 1000 meters away from a city, ALL the city zeds should spawn its to easy to snipe and to detect snipers the way it is atm

you have my respect, sir though i bet you wouldn't even have considered it if there wouldnt have been legal issues gonna think twice before using dayzcommander again

if someone takes a map made by another person, and mods it, and then makes a deal to only use the version used by a certain server provider, that is not illegal(afaik), but a so-called "Dickmove" just like warz says they were the first zombie survival guys, its not ilegal, but a dickmove

Wow, and i wondered why i only found villayer servers for panthera, which basically suck and get restartet when you shoot the admin every time.... going to deinstall DayZ Commander, sad they turned the wrong way... awesome tool, but i wont be using it, since i can write my own batches and dont really need it

0.99^6= 0.94 0.94^5= 0.73 a 27% chance that an as50 spawns (with 5 crash sites each with 6 spawns) thats not at all rare in my terms

Rocket says something about changing zombies, and you feel like it's been overlooked? wut? edit: I agree though, zombies should be ALL over the map, harder, and be able to run in houses (which they plan to fix anyway) pathing needs also a fix, and then everyone will be happy

i dont think snipers are a problem, but the high end rifles, not even the M107, but the AS50.. really? they had to make a one-shot weapon no matter where you hit the target, okay, but SEMI-AUTOMATIC? WTF? The M107 and AS50 are just to no-skill f*cking easy, you only need to hit your enemy, anywhere, dead i love all other sniper rifles, but the AS50 is just ridiculous to the spawn snipers, yeah... they are just funny^^ being douches and all... >>>Sniping should at least take skill<<<

wow, forums wars ftw you guys could as well reduce your posts to "Yes it is!" and "No it isn't!", that would make it way easier to ignore

ok, my fault, just tried it with http://www.myglobalip.com/ reconneting your router does reset your IP, though the whole rebuy-your-CD-Key thing is a reason as well anyway, even IF the IP would be static, there are proxy servers, VPNs, IP-Spoofing, GUID banning is way safer and brings more money edit: the only thing that gets me worried sometime is if my cd-key and guid with it are safe, since more and more people seem to be victims of cd-key theft but as long as only people trying to download cheats are affected, i guess its okay would be great to have a password+username protection with the cd-key though

"it's not what you put into a game that makes it great, it's what you leave out of it" Of course we could add jetpacksand lazorguns and all that shit to dayZ, but that wont make it a better game, dayz in fact is way too easy it is right now, and balance is important in EVERY game, even if rocket calls it an anti-game without balance, everyone will run around with the best shit example: every duper runs around with L85 and AS50, guess why, they are OP as shit in comparison to other stuff, just like NVGs have no downside at all, it isnt even irritated by rain, which in RL is a huge problem, and things without downsides are never good for a game, at least not if those things are so common i'm not a fan of the L85, AS50 and NVG awesomeness, with the standalone they wil require much more care and batterys, which is awesome, i hope they reconsider the shoot-your-toe-drop-dead-oneshot stuff as well with the .50s however, back to the helo, its just THE anti-camp thing there is, its not especially good in fights, nor bad, and risky since .50s tear it apart, but the bugged view of tents and vehicles and the big white indicators for cars and other hueys when flying a day makes it just to much to easy lets just make it the servers choice if they want to have a huey or not, and be good with it

you get a new local ip, however your internet provider will give your connection an ip+mac combination thats static

theres only one reason: money people with a banned ip wont buy the game a second time

the problem with choppers is, that they leave so f*cking big white marks on the screen at day, so that more than one is just stupid, the frst one to find a helo wil find the others in a matter of minutes also, finding vehicles and tents in woodland is way to easy with a helicopter, because of the bugged out trees which show next to no leaves at all when looked at from directly above knowing gameplay from before and after the helo patch, i think it should be a setting serverwise if there should be a helo or not, and if, only without screen-indicators

also, the engine wont be just arma2 ripoff, its from Take on Helicopters, which gives us nice volumetric clouds and sky^^ Zombies can be real zombies and not just remodelled pigs with a AoE damage effect around them, providing new ways of pathing possible The client to server stuff can be fixed, so that dll hooking and general cheating will be harder to do, also the hive system can be optimized to reduce duping through that And the best of all: We get a new chernarus map with a lot of enterable buildings AND a new inventory system with weigth AND space, which will be just awesome i have high hopes for the standalone, and from the things gathered in the standalone ideas thread from rocket (especially the stuff about more detailed medical stuff) seems to be way more awesome than all my expectations

firstoff, zombies will RUN in the standalone, even in buildings, making them much harder, and there will be more of them also, rocket statet that community maps will be possible in the standalone and that they will add more than one map over time

AS50 at 500m, not really that great to be honest You guys know that chopper down near a long barn at Stary? i once went there, and saw someone in the barn at about 600 meters I also heard AS50 shots ringing out, looking to the chopper down, i see a lot of blood sprinkling and general deadness I tried to pick a shot on him from one side of the barn where you can look in, missed, and saw him walking more into the barn I repositioned myself, took about 2 minutes, i had a ghillie so guess he couldnt spot me As i took a look at the barn again, i can see him looking through a window, looking at me and just at that time i hear a shot ringing out and hitting right next to me i shot out of pure reaction, way above him, but i forgot that my rifle was still zeroed to 600, and i was 700 away, when he took the second shot and killed me, i also saw a message "Qwords was kiled", and soon after he flamed side channel about me being a cheater and headshotting him through a window with a CZ
