Is there a SVD Dragonov in the 1.7.2? I found an ammobox near a heli that had 10 clips of SVD Dragonov ammo along with 10 clips of DMR. No dragonov though so I didn't touch it.

Sucks. Though I suppose that's preferable to being part of a mass hacker teleportation 50ft above a mountain top or in the middle of the ocean. Unless you like sharing misery with others in which case it would be sad they didn't off everyone else before they could enter.

Heard it from a podcast: http://roosterteeth....sode.php?id=171 Edit: Meant this one: http://roosterteeth....sode.php?id=170 (-> 85 minutes in)

After reading this topic I've changed my stance on not starting with a weapon. You should start with a weapon. I'd prefer it be a stick (with leaves attached that sway in the wind) that does approximately 1/4 the damage of the crowbar.

I'm in favor of a clean wipe as soon as they fix the hacker/script kiddy problem.

Nice!

I do like DayZed due to zed sounding like a reference to pulp fiction but daisy is just as likable too. :>

Hi! Stealth is your greatest weapon and best defense IMO. Or having awesome friends watching your back.

I've never had this happen to me but there's a few stories about group shootouts that go on for 15 to 45 minutes where there's enough time for someone you've killed to randomly spawn then run all the way back to where they died, loot their own body, attempt to kill you again, and so on. I feel the rules of disconnecting don't apply if someone has enough time to get killed by you and travel all the way back to try again. Then again, not actual rules. More like guidelines.

I thought the problem from the modder standpoint was that you can't get a player to continue to exist after the connection is terminated. But other than the sleep animation how's this different from a time delay that is so the current seemingly most popular suggestion?

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Is this some kinda trollbot that found its way here instead of some crappy d3 forum? KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Maybe they had a traumatic experience as a child involving a urinal cake and couldn't help but ban that person with extreme prejudice. Wedgehoe and pussyflaps on the other hand...

Pics please. And let us know if you see some sexy swimsuits.

5. Pack up the good stuff then ride off and pretend to be an early Santa Claus!

4. Take what you can carry then get in the car, run everything over, get out of the car, set it on fire, leave.

Stealth is actually your best weapon. Starting with a gun is problematic as the initial response for new players tends to be shoot it till it stops, which in dayz translates into 'HEY ZOMBIES I'M A BIG TASTY NOOB COME AND EAT MEEEE!' not to mention the bandits who may take one look at you and decided to shoot you in the legs then sit back and eat popcorn while watching you die. To clarify: Zombies respawn rather quickly so even if you shoot them they will just keep coming with their spaz attacks until you run away and hide. Check Griff's index of helpful threads at the top of this forum. Knowledge is power, abuse it well.

Same. I've been on my life attempt #12 for about 10 times longer than all my previous lives put together. I think I'll just wait until things settle down or get patched.

Pics or video please we want to seeeeee it!!! I mean see it without risking going on a hacked server. :>

I bet the hackers have a the same response plus something along the lines of ' i noplay tis game I piraaartitied it & it took mes less time 2 hacks then it took u to make ur petty zombie nerd herder l-o-l get un lifo n00b'

I've always wondered about rifles with nv scopes. Currently the trick with nighttime settings is to turn your contrast and brightness all the way up with hdr on and you can see even on the darkest nights (although it can still get pretty dark). Wouldn't the opposite be true for nv scope weapons/L85 thermo optics rifle? Of course that would still be a pain to switch settings everytime you need to scope someplace out unless you're being one of those pesky camping bandit hoes.

I guess its really obvious when you just think about it. In xmen2 nightcrawler appeared outa nowhere, kicked ass, and vanished at will. That's obviously that server admin's opinion of jdotjdot7. EDIT: Damnit you beat me to it.

Maybe its like minecraft (pc version) and if you go out far enough things start to get fucked up.

Don't forget to include chem flares. Would love it if it used road flares and chemlights as ammo.
