Unfortunately it has to do with the map itself. Massive map, long distances between players.... Sniper rifles should in themselves be extremely rare. Eg. You have a team of 5, the fact that one of you even have a CZ should be like 'Fucken aya we got a sniper!' Not ok lets hit up NW, we got a 2 DMR, a M107, and a BAF. The other guy with the Bizons go search the barracks. While we cover. This is not fun game play.

Here is a example.

Want to know the truth about pvp? It's a sniper fest. Simple as that. The only place you have a chance of a real gunfight is electro or cherno. You want to survive up north? Find yourself at least a CZ. Anyone who responds to this saying "oh i killed a guy in stary with a akm and he had a enfield" yeah congrats. You killed a noob on his first time in stary. The real pvp players all use sniper rifles. Yeah i have tents up north with heaps of gear but am not using them. I have resorted to running around electro/cherno trying to find a tier 1 weapon to have some fun. Sniping needs to be niche not the mainsteam.

I have found this issue of spawning unconscious constantly on a single server. I am not shocked, and it only happens on my home server. I have waited it out multiple times, aborted and happens again. I have edited my player profile, i have joined another server for hours then come back to my home server and its still happening. I've had friend use epipens on me aswell. I dont know what to do next to solve this, any suggestions?

Dude as multiple people have already confirmed.... SATCHEL CHARGES ARE IN GAME ITEMS. Well now you have heard with a BANG they have arrived.

Ive got a Mk 48 at the moment. Epic gun. Dead on accurate, packs a hell of a punch, fast ROF and a 100 bullet clip....to bad its not silenced lol. But to bring this back on topic, did you guys enjoy the vid? Has anyone seen any similar vids of blowing up cities? Or anyone seen anything like it in game? Also would love to hear comments from people on the server at the time.

Two simple solutions to fix the 2 big issues in this game. Server hopping and Aborting. Firstly if you join said server you can not join another for 10 mins. Yes you might join a night server but want a day time one...bad luck have fun with your torch light for 10 mins. This will stop server hopping pvp and slow down loot hoppers. Secondly make aborting leave you in game for 10-15 seconds. But this time make it so you can't loot yourself....

So to diminish our hard work of locking down NW airfield for days you throw a comment out like that? Weak.

I cant find it on the wiki. But i know for sure it spawns in the two places everyone looks for loot.

Due to server restarts....

This was the first time, and certainly not the last. The Independent Republic of the North has declared war on city dwellers!

I think it does take the fun out of the game when you kill one player then his friend alt f4's out joins another server get up behind you then snipes you...is not a intended or fun thing in this game. It needs fixing. P.S. I have not resorted to pressing P constantly to see if certain names rejoin servers.....this is fun.......

it wasnt luck... This was in a remote area near our camp. Two guys raided out camp i killed one with a LMG the other hid behind one of our vehicles i saw him log out. I repositioned myself under another tree around 200m from my orginal position as i knew he would server hop. Then 4 mintures late. I got DMR'd. Also sorry i didnt look at posts, i was raging a little to hard.

Going down to electro in the dead of night, with a swaud of team mates to set up satchel charges all over the city. Then going BOOOM. Seeing the main loot points collapse and people dying... Captured in fraps will be uploaded in the next day or two.

I didnt have a single friend playing DayZ, when i started i meet people in electro and cherno for the first few days. Some experienced some not, we didnt shoot on sight we called out friendly and grouped up on TS. The group expanded day by day, by the third day we had probably around 4-6 people. At this stage we started heading north a lot and quickly realized, up north its SOS. So we adapted and learned to survive. The group did expand to about 10 people in a week. Now we are dirty dirty bandits. We have what we want, introducing new people to the group is just a risk to our camp. Have we taken pot shots at fresh spawns at the cities...yes. For shits and giggle. But very rarely. Mostly just trying to take people out who are threats to any of us. We still PK but in more fun ways, eg. Setting up Satchel charges all over Electro. Lighting it up in the dead of night... Yes people were in the buildings...but just collateral damage to our fun.

Ok i respwaned on my 'home' server (server with cars) due to getting ill....and lack of antibiotic spawns. Now it has happened on another server... Again any updates on this bug would be helpful. Thanks

Not taking anything away from Eve at all, its a fantastic game. And has many differences to DayZ, their are the obvious ones eg zombies, fps etc etc. But their was three things that made eve different to me than any other game. 1.Single Server. This cant be understated, it is awesome knowing you are in the same universe as everyone else. Not worrying about joining different servers to see friends etc. 2.The never ending level cap. The fact that no matter how much sp you have they will jsut release new ships, mods and tasks in game to keep you constantly training and checking evemon. 3. The risk/reward of pvp. Now this is what were debating in this thread. Its hard to calculate the risk in eve though, due to it being dependent on what ship your flying at said time etc. Of course if you have a cap ship (that insured by the corp/alliance) and you paid for it. Yes its a high risk situation to take that into a fleet fight. But again you will have a back up ship! You dont start from scratch. There has been deaths in this game where people have had weeks (not sure about month/s) on their character with all the best loot in the game, and have lost it all to start again with a flashlight. Yes if you spawn in the right place you can get decent gear within sometimes 5 mintues, but the chances of finding night vision googles, gps, m107 and a scoped FN FAL etc etc. Is extremely unlikely to get within a couple of days. Also when you think about it the reward for pvp in eve was minimal! Mostly it was just for the rush and bragging rights on kb's. At least in DayZ loot isnt destroyed, which gives more incentive to pew pew.

Yes eve and Dayz are two very different games, we are talking about the similar aspects both games share. Yes one is a shooter and one is a spaceship mmo/spreadsheet internet game. When a person says that DayZ is way easier than eve, your wrong and right at the same time. They Learning curve in eve is much higher, it takes months/years to master different aspects in eve. But where DayZ triumphs eve is in the risk/reward area, everything is much higher risk in DayZ. Here is a example that eve players would understand. Imagine in eve starting in a frigate, then slowly working your way up to a crusier, BC, BS, etc. etc. Killing npc's and collecting ammo and guns and mods from them (no npc's in dayz or trade system) Then when your in your titan, fully decked out with officer gear or what ever you manage to come across. You dont pay attention for 5 seconds and a newb character in his frigate with his starter guns kills you in a couple shots. And you must restart the cycle again. That is DayZ.

Ex eve player. Have to say Day z is more brutal. Very hard to stash stuff properly (tents and vehicles) other than that when you die in pvp or pve you lose everything. At least with eve you would have x amount of pve ships and x amount of pvp ships. And easily replace said ships with isk. None of that in day z lol Also no empire space. Its like if all of day z is nullsec.

Thanks! Yes i had some mad stuff in my inventory... But as others have said. Better to play than not to play! Cheers Rocket.

Thanks Zog. At least we know the problem is known, and will be fixed. Lets hope for the hotfix to the hotfix's hotfix will be sooner rather than later. :P

Yeap, ive done a range of similar things. And nothing has worked, a lot of people seem to having this issue and im sure there are hundreds of people trying to figure out some combination to get things to work again. But as time goes on i think the chances of the community fixing this issue is dwindling. We need some attention to this issue from staff.

This had to be somewhere in the suggestion forum, but i cant find it. A infection stat. Most people who are solo'ing do get hit every once in awhile by zombies and they just bandage up after killing them and move along. Would be good to see that when you are hit by a zombie you have a high chance of being infected. This would create a countdown of lets say 30 minutes to which you would need the 'antidote'. In which only another player can administer to you. If you do not get the antidote in the 30 minutes or what ever time seems balanced then you obviously die, but then a zombie with 10X the hitpoints or so is spawned. This would create drama in teams already and force more player interaction. The antidote should only be found in large quantities at hospitals or medical supply boxes. I think it would be cool being at the NW airfield and not having any 'antidotes' on you or your friends. The friends having the choice on if they should kill you (not counted as a murder) or try to get a antidote asap. Yes this would create a extra level of difficulty to the game, but isnt that what we all want? P.S. Anyone who says if there is a antidote why are there any zombies, this would ruin the story line etc etc etc. I'm not going to bother replying due to there being 100 retorts on a story level on why this would be deemed 'cannon'

Thats good to know. So it seems its tied to our player id. Which either means we all need rollbacks to our last save, or to give us fresh player data. At the moment i would take either. Unless they can hotfix this somehow, which i dont see happening.

You are in the debug wildlands. You can try running south east, if you have enough food/water and patience for a 1+ hour run. Or respawn. Before you bitch ive had two characters stuck there that were over 2 days old in the past week.
