Good amount of rubberbanding for me on the experimental server. The worst is that all zombies are invisible. Either that or they are beating on a different version of me somewhere on the server.

If weapons are given the wrong calibers for the sake of reducing database bloat, I would rather the amount of different weapons, or oddball caliber weapons, was reduced. I don't want a Rust situation where the guns fire 'bullets' and the 'blue armor' is better than the 'green armor' or whatever. Please, for the love of all that is holy, we need authenticity.

That's not the problem. The problem is the development time that would be required to make more landmass that is the size of this map, and the quality+detail level of Chernarus.

This map is amazing, but at the same time, look at the scale of this map. I don't imagine we will get it in our lifetime if they're going to expand Chernarus to that size. I'd rather they just carved a riverbed in the current map, because that could actually be done in a decent time frame.

This would actually be a good feature if the magazine could actually be picked up again. Maybe eventually let us choose between a fast reload that ditches the mag, and a slow reload that stows the used magazine.

This is the kind of weapon I miss the most in the standalone. My DMR served me well, as did the M14. I hope to see European battle rifles like the FAL or G3 make an appearance as soon as possible. The M14 is a very cool gun but very uncommon outside of America, and no longer in service in the military, so I don't think it would make sense in DayZ.

I do this whenever I have the time or opportunity. Mags and boxes get emptied if I don't need them, and I also take valuable loot like ACOGS and MP stocks that my group doesn't need and place them in the middle of nowhere. If I find an M4 I take it apart and throw the parts around in random places. I enjoy doing this too much.

'Surprising'? How is this surprising? It's like the place you can most reliably expect to be attacked, aside from stupid places like the ATC tower roof in Balota or something.

Oh no, I have to wait 5 minutes or less! Also, taking a look in the server browser to see if a server is 'regular' or 'hardcore' will save you from playing properly (first person).

Get out. Servers are all connected to the central hive. If people enforce different rule sets on certain servers it pollutes the hive.

I play both, but my friends play regular so that's where I spend most of my time. Playing this game solo is like masturbating (and not in a good way).

Substitute Elektro with any good loot spot, Elektro was the example in this particular topic.

Low pop servers are the most dangerous because the other people are all in the good loot spots, which presumably you also are since you're on a low pop server to begin with. Yeah, gee, let's go loot Elektro on a full pop server. Here's a hint for you, master gamer: it's all already looted, and you're just going to get killed endlessly. Until the loot spawning mechanics are unfucked, this is what the game is like.

I am getting a lot of 'session lost' personally.

Not technically, no. I want there to be more firearms and more different types of ammunitions and magazines, so that it'll be way harder to actually get a complete kit. Once this happens you'll see people running around with weapons that have rounds chambered, or just one magazine, and very little ammo, just because they can't find enough of the correct types of items for it. As it stands we have three different rifles with many common attachments and 3 types of ammo. As a new spawn you can already start to sense what the game would be like if there were 20 different rifles instead.

The part where I have a fire axe but pretty much nothing else. Everything after that is a good find.

It's a game. I treat it like a game. If you can't separate the game and real life you should probably not play it, I don't think that's healthy.

It is a one shot kill on freshly spawned players with low blood and health that have no clothing. I suppose some people have never tried their gun on well-fed players with lots of kit. :emptycan: Confirming that while a Mosin shot made my screen grey, so I did lose a lot of blood, I managed to finish the fight, bandage up and heal up all by myself in maybe half an hour to an hour.

Painting of default attachments. http://i.imgur.com/Jnd1tOl.png http://i.imgur.com/rFYRgHc.png Good feature. Now we can only hope for painting of suppressors, bipods, RIS and scopes. Maybe make scope painting a recipe that requires duct tape to mask the glass?

You can do the slow vault animation with a broken leg. If you crawl as close to the stairs as you get, get upright, and then vault you will glitch past the stairs to the next floor. I figured this out in frustration.. after eating a ton of rotten fruit in order to die and respawn. Of course, the morphine was then literally right in fucking front of me.

This happens when someone logs off with zombie aggro. The aggro'd zombie will just stay wherever the person logged off, which could be in the middle of the woods. The others could have just stopped because he got out of their LOS earlier than the last one, and then swarmed you once they heard you.

It's only rare when you're looking for it.

There are no servers with different rules or anything. DayZ is DayZ, and it's always a free-for-all. The only distinction is hardcore and regular, which is first-person-only and third-person-allowed respectively. These servers save different characters, so you have a hardcore character and a regular character. Some servers ban people for playing ways they don't like, but those are actually breaching terms of service and should be reported. And no, you can't see 'humanity level' or anything like that, because it's unrealistic. You have to choose whether it's worth the risk to trust or contact someone.

1) no 2) logical in itself, but in dayz it makes no difference where an item is on your person if you get shot, the clothes get ruined, and the way it works is anything in the clothes gets ruined once they're ruined, so it's a zero-sum game. They're supposed to be fixing this, not sure if they've done anything yet. 99% of the time you get shot in the chest, not the legs. Good luck keeping up your return fire when all your mags are ruined. Personally I spread out my magazines and saline bags so I know I always have some. Why do you play DayZ, so you can sit in the woods and eat beans?

100 hours, never seen one. For sure. Please read the OP. Hackers only, no exploiters. This guy was, at worst, a duper, but more likely he was just a loot farmer. I have 3 cases full of 5.56 stacks, I've never duped or exploited.
