ZomboWTF

Next time someone safes your life, wait until they loot your attacker and give them a nice and clean headshot

A player with a sniper rifle, 38 kills and no box of matches? WTF? Ah wait, i get it, you're one of those sitting on a hill killing people and not looting them Well, grow some balls and get someone to loot them, a good sniper team has three members: Sniper, Spotter, Looter

Dont cry about it, it's what these people want to hear I got shot today at Balota Tower, right after spawn spawning again, grabbing an AKM from the military camps, and nailed that guy with some good old AKM rounds don't play as the victim, and if you're getting shot, dont cry, it's a game ffs

When playing on public servers, where my gear is not important for me at all and i run around like a crazy mad man, i hear Disturbed etc. However, on the hacker-free private server i play on with my group, i never hear music, its just too important to hear people when they shoot or attract zombies or even crawl right next to you

The last month i almost stopped playing DayZ forever, when i got fed up on TF2 one day and logged in into my home server and started playing with some random guys in Teamspeak A few days after playing with them, they were making a small group of people they thought they'd be able to kick some ass with and i happened to get in It's day four of my current character, after getting killed with all the guys at NWAF, i hooked up with someone from our group wanting to snipe everywhere imagineable, playing as his spotter and second sniper (having two main weapons is awesome), and we got 9 kills in three days, all but one without getting noticed or being shot back at, and not one victim being freshly spawned or unarmed (of course we never sniped elektro or cherno) I found a completely new side of dayZ, other than the constant "Die, get gear, die, get gear, die, get gear" in elektor cherno etc., being a very small organized group that kicks ass is fun without end and extremely addictive In short, DayZ is awesome, can't wait for the Standalone, especially with new houses enterable^^

Nice one, DayZ is so awesome when nobody Alt+F4s, which is why i play on a private server where the admin bans people for it^^

maybe you should learn how to play, if you are getting killed all day long you are playing wrong dont expect to run around like a retard and not get shot, DayZ is not you average fast paced FPS, run'n'gun is not even possible for various reasons like shaking after running and not being able to fire at full speed running look carefully at your surroundings, listen for shots, or look for zombies, since they only spawn when players are near, dont rush in somewhere and dont give your position away with loud noises or zombies aggro

The FN FAL is actually not rare at all, heli crash sites arent hard to find, and usually FN FALs and Bizons spawn there like crazy The DMR is clearly better for long range combat, the FN FAL only exceeds in medium to close range combat because of full auto (or burst, dont remember), which is negated by the scope though Also, note that you can't turn of Nightvision on the FN FAL ANPVS which makes the gun completely useless at day

I just found out that there is a tool for the map showing everything on servers, who makes such thngs, and why? It's really a high temptation to use it yself if i find it, but that ruins gameplay I often hide tents at locations NO ONE ever found for months in earlier dayZ stages, and now they are found in a matter of hours... and i am wondering, well, no more

idiot, every hacker can use the admin channel please someone delete this, the op is misinformed and denouncing a servers reputation for no reason

yup, i knew that loot spawns only when moving closer to a building, never found the programmed code though, thanks for clearing that up also: zombies spawning at 200 meters is a real issue on servers, you can basically never hide in a city or other zombie infested areas

Also, you can basically get back everything achieved in two to three days, even high end stuff i cant remember one time i left my cherno->elektro->Rog->Berezino tour without finding a ghillie suit, nvgs can be loote off player or deer stands most of the time, and high end weapons are EVERYWHERE camps arent that good anyway, i'd say the tents should be deleted completely until duping is fixed

This should be stickied

wipe it, duping has gotten out of hand

or maybe some hackers are 14 year old kids, you cant tell if people hacking are all under bad life conditions, and i dont think it's an excuse either, i hope with the standalone those people get banned, as they seem to be when Battleye rolls out ban waves most younger hackers cry afterwards for being banned and want a second chance, though they've been told there isn't any second chance after hacking you can say their parents didn't educate them well enough, or they had a hard childhood or whatever, still some things are socialy unacceptable and must be punished there have to be rules, else it will be no fun for anyone

this would explain something i encountered lately, i was hiding a pickup truck (tube frame) in a really dense forrest west of zeleno, near THAT MOUNTAIN, next day, car was gone, someone seems to have spotted it, but no one told me who found it... after fixing a car later that day, we hid it near Myshkino, which is also west of green mountain, and the next day, the car was gone again! Someone mentioned he found the car near myshkino, just with the lights on, but i was sure i turned them off, and everyone helping to fix it logged off before me

Sadly, no hacker will have the attention span to read through this, since even a game like dayZ seems to get old for them... I agree with you, but getting your luck out of computer games solely isn't going to help on the long run, people on the internet just have too much anonymitie and too little consequenses, and no one seems to be able to stop them from being jerks I currently am on a server with no hackers whatsoever, just send me a PM and i will tell you the name of the server, you only need to join up in TS and ask someone for the password Since official servers don't give admins the might to punish those hacking themselfes legaly, i joined up with people to have a private hive server Of course there are jerks, but without them the game wouldn't be thrilling, at least the jerks on our server don't hack, or get banned directly after

many people play this style of "endgame" without understanding that there really isn't any end game at all vehicles just let you get around faster, the real endgame though is pvp, and no other game besides DayZ (only exception eve online) gets me this excited in pvp

seasons could add higher risk of freezing to death, especially in winter, god, imagine being out in a night in chernarus when its snowing while having minus 30 degrees

would be great, though i dont think the makers of this mod would give their work to another game for nothing

get your shit right before posting nonsense

Seasons would be awesome, imagine all the fields you are normally far visible on having corn or wheat growing on them, making them a great hiding spot, having piles of fallen leafes in the fall you can hide in, trees becoming leafeless except for the pine trees etc. i absolutely and wholeheartedly approve of this idea :thumbsup: :beans:

Used the search function, found nothing regarding the spawn mechanics though: Ok, so at the time the zombie spawning mechanics work as follows: When a certain player enters a 200-300 meter radius of a zombie spawn, zombies are spawned just like the loot When zombies aggro a player, or are spawned by him, and he logs out, all the zombies disappear this is due to the fact that zombie AI is calculated by the player spawning them, not the server The Problem about this is: 1)You can see where players are in a big city or if any players are near you by checking for zombies walking around 2)Aborting the game makes you and your friends safe from zombies for a time, its like a "despawn bomb" I think it would be better to let the zombies spawn either outside of players visibility range, or with a different spawning type: Placing a minimum of zombies in every city and building with server start, though to the fact that servers cant handle the AI, let the zombies be totally passive, maybe roam around a bit if thats possible When a player enters the area, the zombies become active and calculated by the player, also, now additional zombies could spawn When the player aborts, just let the zombies be passive again, until a player is at a certain range again Any Opinions/Additions?

i just thought that using zombies as a player indicator makes the game feel too safe, this along with the despawning when logging off makes the game too easy and predictable If this isn't possible in the mod, okay, but i think that a new spawning mechanic is needed and hope it will be considered for the standalone

1) You bought Arma 2, not DayZ 2) The mod is still developed, not abandoned Conclusion 1)+2) : You have no right to get a new game for free, as the old one you bought still exists Additionaly, the standalone will be lower on price at the beginning
