    Close range aiming is screwed up.

    From what I have gathered, the bullet starts in the chamber as it goes down the barrel, out to the target, and hits. BUT, if the target is standing directly in front of you, and your weapon has a long barrel (Lee Enfield, M16, etc) the barrel passes through them. Even worse, it seems the bullet travelling down the barrel does not do damage, so in a sense it is waiting until it gets down the tunnel (barrel) to come out the back of the zombie, doing no damage. The same way a train goes down a mountain-side tunnel and doesn't explode from hitting an invisible wall that doesn't exist. I can't really explain it any better. ................... XXXXXXXX [chamber]0====barrel=====0 <Bullet Exits down the tunnel, never touching the target. Simply goes through them. bullet...........XXzombieXX start.............XXXXXXXXX Visual representation. Sucks, sure, but the best I could do.

    1.7.3 - Lets Wipe the Hive

    I agree with a wipe. Too many hacked in weapons are floating around, and dupers are just making a bad situation far, far worse. M4A3 ACOG GL. It's an M4A3 camo, with an ACOG sight and a grenade launcher. I seen this yesterday and popped the guy using it, plus his buddy. Also got killed by a group of five in Electro, three using G36C SDs, one with an AS50 TWS, and the last being the only legit-ish guy was using a hatchet with his makarov. Plus, I'm starting to find tents packed with these weapons, as well as satchel charges. Worse yet, they are poorly hidden near electro and cherno. These people now have so many of these, they no longer care to hide their tents because they can just dupe more.
  3. The real problem with this is the AS50 TWS going around. It is starting to replace the normal AS50 with most snipers, and can spot you through most concealment. Outside of solid cover (hiding in a building with no windows, or on the otherside of a hill/large rock) there is nothing you can really do. Zig-Zagging just gives them a slower target, and poor judgement on turning time could literally mean you are just dancing in place as you slowly edge forward, providing a slow upright target. I so wish the Devs would wipe the servers. You can't stop the dupers from duping more good gear, but you can stop them from using hacked gear for a time.

    Will I get a ban ?

    As said, you won't be banned for doing that. The server admin just has a defense in place to stop people from putting their nose where it doesn't belong.

    Fucking Humanity...

    I played for over 2 months, racked up nearly a kill every other day (sometimes I got 5 kills a day, sometimes I went a week without) but my humanity is positive. So if your humanity is under -10,000, you killed a lot of players, and I highly doubt most of those were self-defense. God, I kill people I see for holding a weapon, but I don't camp coastal cities with a .50 cal.

    DayZ Connecting and Hackers

    Yep, I've encountered a massive decrease in hackers (not at pre-July levels, but much lower than early August). And remember. As long as software is created to serve humans, hackers will always exist.

    has the as50 tws been added back in?

    US264 (or was it US246? I think the former), I killed 3 people and died at close range to another to find they had AS50 TWSs. The three I killed I hid the bodies, leaving the weapons on them. The one that killed me was so close I was able to see the sight and even get two rounds off from my M16 before taking a .50cal round for my inability to get off those last two needed for a kill. One of those I killed was nice enough to tell me that his clan was giving them out for free, supposedly duped to extremes after one of their members killed a scripter and took his rifle. Although, this same person did not tell me the clan name, nor did he have it in his own name. Side Chat on this server was helpful. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been readded, instead people are hacking it in, and then clans are duping it once they have their hands on it. I will continue to thin the numbers and hide bodies with such weapons.

    Dear Hackers,

    One, don't make threads yelling at or whining about hackers. Report them, move on. Otherwise, you are actually doing EXACTLY what they want, making your rage known to them. (Hint: They will never get laid, so their angst flows freely through games) Two, that video was awesome.

    Tips for successfully being a medic?

    Use Stealth to close gaps, don't run in the open. Put MEDIC in your name, so people on nametagged servers are less likely to shoot you (many won't care and will anyhow). Do not hold a weapon. There is a small minority out there that does not track and kill unarmed players unless they do something wrong (zombie train, stare, etc), but most will kill you anyhow. Do not wear camo or ghillies. People won't even check to see if you are a medic, they'll believe you are an aggressive traveler from the north and put you down hoping for an AS50 or M4A1 CCO SD. Use cover, don't start communications in their sightlines. If they don't respond or respond with a monotonous "Friendly" without any feeling or emotion in their voice, they are just busy... Lining up their sights with your head. If someone tells you to run away, do it. I feel those are just fairly common sense, but I added them to the thread anyhow. Have fun and good luck.

    Weapon Poll

    G17- has 17 rounds per magazine, as well as a flashlight for trolling friends, or lighting up people on very dark nights. 9mm sucks versus players, but the 17 rounds can down a lot of zombies. FN FAL- 8k damage per round, rate of fire that matches trigger pulls, and decent iron sights. I usually play for medium range (200-400 meter range), so this weapon really fits well for its purpose. The night vision one is useless in the daytime, so I perfer the one without it. M24- Really, not my favorite, and not even one that you find often. But it seems that I have the uncanny ability to find nearly the exact range (down to ~25 meters) of a target, and can zero in on them for an easy shot. When I need a sniper rifle, I find one that fits the role AND lets me zero. So the DMR is out, as well as the M14, and the .50cals are just too loud/bulky for my taste.

    Did I get trolled by a hacker?

    Hacker had his way with you.

    Can Someone Explain WTF Happened???????

    I think the noise at the end of the video isn't actually a gunshot, but the sound of the second guy's character groaning as he died. Rewatch the first video at around 2:02, "I just died" *awh* From what I see, which is nothing, and what I hear, which is pretty much nothing, it was either an EXTREMELY far away guy with the AS50 Nato rounds loaded into a magazine, and managed to hit the engine in the first shot. Or it was a hacker that insta-killed you. My money is on AS50 from a long distance. EDIT: My first post wouldn't save.
  14. Tents out in the open are usually traps, so people are not likely to go to them thinking a sniper might have set them up as bait. Also, trying to chase people down to give them stuff looks more like you are trying to kill them. I would suggest placing a tent inside of the back of a store, or inside a school building, where there is less chance a sniper might set up to watch them, and place the items inside. Schoolbuilding in Electro would be great. Many people hit that before they leave to the powerplant, which tends to be their final resting place anyhow.
  15. I haven't played in 3 days. But nice try. But no, you didn't do enough damage to kill him. You didn't do enough to knock him down. And as you said, you didn't even accurately see his gun, so you don't know what he was using. So all we know now is that you tried to shoot a ghillie-suited man 4 times with an extremely nerfed pistol. Then lost and proceeded to the forums to call him a hacker. 0/10. You lost, try again.
