First off Rocket has explicitly said that metagaming such as streamsniping is perfectly valid gameplay. Second, if you stream your game session live then you are accepting the inherent risk that people will watch it and use that to find you. This is axiomatic, and should come as no surprise to anyone. Thirdly, don't come onto the forums whining about a death and expect anything other than derision.

And I recommend that you pay more attention to playing the game the way you want to and less to how other people are playing it, especially if it in no way affects you.

Thanks HSM, though I can't claim credit for it. Credit goes to Nine Inch Nails. But I loved it so I stole it :)

Are you certain that chart is accurate? It lists the Crossbow as being louder than the Bizon, MP5SD, and M4SD. And that just doesnt seem right, because the crossbow has always seemed to be as close to completely silent as is possible.

I get this also on quite a few servers. Most of the time I give it a min or so and then back out to server select screen and try to find a new server. I know of no fix or workaround, but would love it if there is one.

Don't know that I would participate personally, not really what Im looking for in the game. But at the same time I fully support the idea, in fact I fully support any and all player run events like this. Day Z is supposed to be completely sandbox, you make of the game what you want it to be. So if people want to run organized events, then that is exactly what the game should be for them. Doesnt matter if a specific event isn't for me. The fact of people getting together to run the event in the first place means that the game is a success on that front.

I find a tree to hide in also. Dieing doesnt bother me overly much, but I hate being killed while I am still logging in and cant even see the game screen yet (it's happened more than once when I first started playing).

Changing your firing mode is "F". I would also say AK over shotgun, and personally I would trade up to an AKM if possible. As for the pistol the 1911. M9SD is nice for the silencer but you will come across ammo so rarely that it will be next to useless, whereas the 1911 has probably the most commonly found ammo in the game. The 1911 is normally my Zed killing weapon even if I have a great primary weapon because it is a 1 shot kill with relatively low noise.

Then you have not participated in many real testing phases. I have been in multiple alpha tests, and more betas than I can count. I can tell you from experience that the Beta's that really deserve to be called such (as opposed to "betas" that are just used as free previews of a game) do in fact have a tendency to have "miracle patches" that come out within the last week or last few days of the beta. This is the final patch that includes everything that has been worked on up to the last minute so that it is as polished as possible. But even that aside, I fail to see the point of your OP. Just wanting to gripe? Offer up something to help make the game better in some way or don't bother at all. Even a concrete complaint is of value at this stage in a games development, but this type of "I feel impotent anger because the game is not perfect right now" post has no value.

Not only is the meme "In before xxx" beyond played out, you used it wrong. Obviously your opening post is "in before" any other post, it's axiomatic. And I for one would not want to play as a zombie. Boring, and not what the mod is about.

“One should not be envious of someone who has prospered by unjust deeds. Nor should he disdain someone who has fallen while adhering to the path of righteousness.” Imagawa Sadayo (1325-1420)

So in short: You can rely on them to be somewhat unreliable ;D

Personally I love the idea of this type of occurence. Make the world a little more dynamic while still keeping it completely sandbox.

That would be pretty much the opposite of what he said. So if you are still opperating on "It's opposite Day", then yes someone took your bear trap.

My most pointless death happened after I found a van parked in the woods. I was all excited and hopped in to run around until I noticed that it was in the red on everything, engine, hull, gas, wheels. I was near one of the large cities (think it was Berezino), so I decided to drive over and park the van in a field across from some apartment buildings. I hop out and run over to the apartments and climb to the top. The plan was to set up shop and snipe at people who came to investigate the van (I had just picked up my first CZ550). Well when I get to the roof I creep near the edge and hit "Z" to go prone, only I dont go prone. Instead my character runs forward about 5 steps before dropping to prone (this seems to be a bug I encounter from time to time but can't replicate). The problem is that I was only about 3 steps from the edge and went flying off of the three story aparment building to a rather ignominous death.

A wipe for the sake of cleaning out duped gear is meaningless unless the exploits/hacks are removed prior to the wipe. Once those holes are fixed then 100% a wipe should occur. Before that happens *shrug* it will only hurt legitimate players and not really the cheaters.

Quoted for truth. Pre-built machines will give you things like nice sound cards that you don't need (because most motherboards have integrated sound that is all you will realisticly need for gaming), but will give you crappy video cards and cheap ram. If you need to get an opperating system Newegg also has OEM systems that will save you some cash at the cost of phone in tech support (who uses this anyway?).

Because this hasn't been talked about before.

I was in a server just like that about two days ago Stuffnthings. It was rediculous. I don't mind the periphreal dots so much when they are just on the sde of your screen and only show up in a small radius around you, but even then I don't mind servers without them. But this server had them turned on to a crazy extreme. Showed dots a good half mile or more away, even straight ahead of me and through hills, and once something got on screen the dots stayed there so you couldnt hide in a bush anymore.

My favorite tent spot is in the middle of Cherno, in an open field between buildings with good sight lines from a nearby multistory building w/ attached ladder.

I agree that these are bugs that need to be fixed, and should be a priority. But what I don't understand is people saying "The tent duping bugs ruin the game for me because when I die I can just go back ad get re-geared".... just don't do that then. Until the bugs/exploits are fixed don't use them. Seems pretty simple to me.

If you resort to hack and cheating then you become part of the problem. Plus you devalue yourself. Not only will other people not respect you, but you wont really be able to respect yourself. And at that point you might as well just be Paris Hilton minus the money.

edited for wrong area

Really? I had assumed it was just Day "Z" because you are always having to hit Z in order to go prone to get around most everywhere.
