Outside of being on players I have never had a ghillie suit. Not really sure I care all that much. I mean it is cool to have a suit that pretty much makes you invisible on grass, but I like my camo suit more. Guess I'm strange like that. But I would wear a ghillie if I found one. Provided the bugs with it are mostly fixed.

M1911, but I'll take a revolver if I can't have an M1911. I've never liked the 9mm pistols due to the total lack of damage, and the PDW Uzi is nearly as worthless even with the larger magazine. Until they do more damage, I won't even use them to kill zombies, which includes the M9SD, unless I have nothing else. 9mm rounds need a damage boost in my opinion.

10-15 seconds DC timer works for me. Or insta-kill anyone that tries to disconnect after taking a bullet, or firing a bullet. I've lost tons of kills because I took the player down, but they DC unconscious and get away without enough health to survive, but steal away my potential loot and my kill. Had a friend get killed by 3 players. He found them again a few minutes later, and was unarmed, and died again. Luckily I was in the area and sped towards that spot to find the 3 players crawling away. I fired on them, hit 2 and they all DC'd without even trying to return fire. Thier fine with killing people, but couldn't take it when someone fought back. Cowards.

Had a friend run out of ammunition and take a trip back to his group's camp to refill. When he approached, he spotted someone there and tried to ask who it was. Due to him using mumble and not directional chat and a total lack of identification methods (like ingame tags) he was unable to tell who the player was. That same player didn't know the person he seen, and without time to grab a weapon, proceeded to equip his hatchet and chase off the 'invader'. They were both apart of the same group, but were in different channels of mumble, so my buddy was chased around by his own teammate and unable to defend himself, nor tell him he was friendly. Pretty great, you should have been there.

But that's the thing. I've had servers not save information. Location and everything I've done for a certain period of time is reverted back. Like when TX20 was reset like 3 times, I lost 2 hours of information and kept popping back to the place I had last logged off. But this isn't what happened here. Only the gear I took was gone. My location, thirst meter and even the gear I had left behind were all saved. Like the items I picked up disappeared, and the items I traded to carry them were gone as well. So this isn't the issue of servers not saving. Instead, I only lost the gear I had taken from his body. My logged off location was the same when I logged back in. Thirst was the same. All my items that had originally been mine were still there. But the items I took off the sniper were gone. My friend also lost nothing, no items or anything and appeared where he logged out. So this wasn't an issue of the server not saving, but only select items not transfering off server.

Hayabusa does tend to be defensive when people seemingly mock him with some of the posts above your's. I believe one of those is yours, too. The guy wasn't in a group. He would have killed me on the first engagement if he was, and instead I stood up and ran off, to come back later and try to kill him. He logged. Then he came back on in a tree, and fired at someone in the distance, which gave away his position nearby and led me to kill him for the .50 rifle we heard going off. He wasn't in a group. I checked around and there were no nearby tents before we left and logged into another server to test the NVGs, as well as get distance from potential snipers camping on another server. Hayabusa asked because the items in his inventory and backpack were odd, seeing as most people don't drag around such important and rare items and do rarely newbie-style things (not continue trying to kill someone you see, combat logging and then attempting to ghost and failing horribly when he gave his position away to kill some random far off player). I mean, I can understand a lot of meat or canteens, as those are renewable. But no food and ONLY pepsi? Multiple NVGs on a DAYTIME server, and a pack of rare items (Rangefinder, M107, M4A1 CCO SD, 2x NVG, Coyote Backpack). He wasn't your normal sniper setting up a camp to snipe people in the cities. This guy even had the resources to actively hunt, so he wasn't there to loot a store for food. And when we logged, everything but the items taken off his corpse remained the same. Our location, health, thirst, and other items did not reverted, ONLY HIS ITEMS DISAPPEARED. And to the Moderator, sorry.

ITS A TRAP!

In his defense, he probably didn't know if you were 'lol'ing with him or at him. So he was defensive about it. Reading comprehension doesn't help when you have to guess someone's online prosidy and general emotion at the time of typing the message. A general smile might have helped, :)

If it becomes a full standalone game, I think it would be best as a purchase of just the game and no montly fee. BUT, if you go with a system that allows players to buy things with real money you might make more cash, allowing other players to continue playing for free. BUT, there might be a problem with any kind of balance between those with spending money and those without. But I perfer a single purchase to play. Just my opinion. I'd probably pay a montly fee if it wasn't insane.

He obvious is only killing zombies. In any case, I was there. 2 servers, tons of barns, no real loot of worth (not even any M16/M4 variants or AKMs. No scoped weapons of any kind, and the few pistols we found were makarovs). We even hit balota and berezino just to be sure. Oh, and he had 14 free slots, which was more than enough for either his AKM with 2 mags, or CZ550 with 1 mag. He didn't make that part very clear, and instead said the ALICE has 14 slots, he meant he HAD 14 slots available. I double checked, as I was the one taking his items to make room so he could pick it up. Oh and to the guy that says killing newbies on the coast is easy... Newbies don't pack DMRs, M107s, or similar high powered weapons. They don't pack NVGs, they don't pack M4A1 SDs, or anything else. So shut up before you have any proof that newbies are being killed by either of us. (I have shot an unarmed player, but he was leading a zombie train at me) But seriously, what is up with crashed helios? Bugged servers or is the crashes not spawning?

The server numbers have easily doubled in the last two weeks, but player numbers have not. So you see twice as many servers, but what seems to be half the population, when in reality the player numbers are increasing, but not at the rate that servers are coming up. So 1000 spread over 100 is 10 each, whereas 1500 spread over 200 is only 7 or 8 per server. Seems lower than it really is. Add more servers, and you get a great amount of players spread out. Like it is now: 17800, over 1300 servers, means only 13 players per server. But you can find numbers closer to 30 or 40 on a server. Think of it this way, 2 weeks ago, on a weekend, I seen 10000 players on 600 servers. That's a 78% increase of players, but a doubling of servers.

I've never run off of anything. I have ran into friendlies and been pushed into the wall and fell to my death from that, or started to climb down a ladder, just to instantly fall to my death a second later. And I've never fired on anyone I didn't mean to, either. But I have seen people run off buildings trying to escape me or others. I've also fired on a group of 5 to see one fire on another and kill him. That was funny. But generally, my actions are more tactical and planned out before I take fire, so I don't fall off buildings unless I'm pushed (on other games) and don't need to worry about accidentally killing people. But my lack of positional updates makes my teammates abit weary of moving around. I know where they are, but my chaotic and pretty unpredictable patterns tend to have me cross their vision when they least expect it.

Yeah, hunting the snipers hunting for fresh spawns is better. We are here for their gear, YOU go to sniper hill to kill fresh spawns. Just because the only reason you can think of being on that hill is to kill newbies, doesn't mean others are. Plus, you don't snipe with an AKM, even if you can. You pwn cowards at medium range and take their 1337 gear.

No. Your core sucks. Sorry.

Person lagged into the game as they logged, then tried going prone and crawling. Possibly lagged out, and their model continued crawling until Battleye disconnected them for being away.

I love my Lee Enfield. 1-hit kill, no matter the odds.

AKM, 3 rounds and a dead player. Although the AK74 trades ammo between all of it's varients, which might be better if ammunition is an issue. But the AKM has great range (semi-auto) and excellent damage, with 1-hit per zombie. The AK74 takes 2 for a zombie, and a lot more for players. But it is easily found ammo. My money is on the AKM for power, AK74 for easy-to-find ammo. (Do the math, you spend less ammunition per target with the AKM, so 3 AKM magazines is like 5 AK74 5.45 mags)

And I thought I had the worst ideas on this forum...

Yeah, everything I had in my ALICE pack is there, but the items I traded into the coyote backpack are out of it and gone. Thought it was strange that he had a ton of pepsi's, no cokes and no food of any kind. But didn't think anything of it until we logged into a different server and I tried to use the nightvision to find it was gone. My old ALICE pack had returned (missing items I had placed into the coyote) and everything that was in my inventory stayed. I didn't appear anywhere else from when I logged off, my thirst was normal as I had drank the pepsi's, and my health remained the same. So pretty much the gear I took from him disappeared and I got my old ALICE back missing the items I took with me. All his items I placed in my inventory are gone, and the tools and NVGs I picked up are gone as well. Rangefinder, too. TL:DR- My stuff reverted to what I had on before I killed him, minus what I took out of my backpack (means I lost medical supplies). I gain a kill, though, so it wasn't a complete loss. EDIT: Reverted the items, somewhat, not my location, health, thirst or stats for kills and whatnot. SECOND EDIT: I think it was duped gear, and possibly corrected itself on logging into another server. Hunting him took time, as he would log off and relog a few minutes later.

Okay, YOU CAN GET BANNED FOR HACKING IT IN. You won't get banned from DayZ for having it, only hacking it in. BUT server admins can ban you from thier server if they find you using hacked weapons. That player that you looted might not have hacked it in himself, but that weapon is pretty much hacked in. BUT, without official words from the dev team, we really can't be sure as it has an Icon in the mod, so there is the possibility that it is okay. One of the guys I used to run with found an Mk 16 CCO (SCAR-L without camo) in the barracks. As he found it on the ground with ammo, we supposed that there could be a chance that there are indeed weapons we don't know about in the loot tables, but are so rare many will never see them. We don't know for sure, and he died the next day, never getting a chance to fire a round off. We left the gun on his body.

It's because they ask for a removal or extreme punishment system for PvP, but want guns, PvE, co-op gameplay, difficult zombies and the ability to change difficult, as well as base the game around the zombies, not survival. That means L4D. And those that want melee instead of firearms, or an extreme reduction of firearms, with Co-op and no PvP, are pointed at Dead Island. Those that want melee, no co-op, no PvP, but want the zombies to be super-easy and to add slapstick or parody-style humor can have Dead Rising. To those that want a single player shooter against zombies and super-zombies get Resident Evil games until 4 and 5, which are parasites (GAH! I want my zombies back!) People with more than 3 friends, and a love of co-op and hatred of PvP can still play Dead Frontier. Those that hate that, or dislike top-down views or guns also have the zombie minecraft mod based off DayZ. So that's about it. Many of us here don't want a watered down game, melee vs zombie game, or a game with restricted PvP. WE WANT A SURVIVAL SANDBOX MOD+Zombies. That includes PvP and zombies, with interactions with strangers (PvP or not) and the feeling you have when hunting or being hunted that not many other games can give you. We don't want WoW with zombies, or we'd go to WoW and stand around the zombies in the plaguelands. And to those telling us we are agenda pursuing COD whores or Battlefields brats, we can play that game, but I'm not lowering myself to that. Instead, I could add a suggestion to pull out zombies and the survival part and force people to ONLY PvP. I don't want that either, though. I want DAYZ, and I don't care if I have to play through the bugs to enjoy it, because I do. I enjoy DayZ. I want it to stay that way and evolve into bigger and better things, not get sucked into a PvE only game, or a restricted watered down cuddly hippyfest. Yeah. Take it or leave it. I'll take DayZ and see where Rocket and his team takes it. They have their own picture for DayZ and I like how it is coming along.

SA80! L85! Whatever, I want more guns ingame. MORE MORE MORE! So I support.

This. +100

Name those servers and their admins in the correct forum, they are abusing their power.

With a group of friends, zombies are little more than an annoyance. Knock you down? Friends kill them, bandage you. Get a broken bone? Same thing. The threat comes from players that might end your life and take your stuff. Or not, maybe they killed you for fun. But without players more and more players would have the best gear in the game and slowly it would be like most MMOs, the "Haves" and "Have-nots". And the latter would be quickly catching up. Games become competitive until there is nothing left but to mindlessly kill each other. Or grind the same boring junk all day. So you can't be bored of those other zombie games, because it sounds like this is what you want. You say you want to play DayZ, well DayZ comes with PvP. Either you don't want to play DayZ, or you are unsure of what you want. I hear there is a minecraft mod that is similar, though even that supports PvP to a limited extent. End the end, either play with limited amounts of players, or don't play at all. Don't be afraid of humans.
