Hehe sounds familiar, the first few days are as intense as they are frustrating ;) Good to see someone willing to give night a go as well ^_^. Hope you find some friendlies and some weapons, you've got a lot to see experience.

Yeah it's really bad at the moment but hopefully there will be a fix soon. Apparently it's caused primarily by the latest ARMA2 Patch but exaberated by elements in DayZ. There are some temporary fixes but thinging permenant at the moment. Mostly it's a case of just reboot the client and pray it stays bug free for more than 20 minutes =/

Grats =p lol for a moment I thought this was us but we had a similar incident in the NE airfield vehicle hunting not Cherno factories. Me and my buddy just managed to get ourselves Ghille suits (Traded a fortune for them but worth the lolz). As we leave the airfield my buddy falls over dead and I neither of us heard a damn thing. I hit the deck and roll behind a building ......and I simply die....never knew who where or what hit us. I'm considering dumping the Ghille as while it's nice it makes you a hell of a target if you are seen... Assuming they bothered to loot us they got Coyote pack, NVG, GPS, M4 CCO SD, BAF50, and a bunch of car parts =p In a way it's kind of liberating to start over as I've died 4 in the next day while trying to loot up again where as before I'd been alive with all that gear for over a week =p That said whoever got us clearly had a silenced sniper of some form so doubt they needed the gear and given we were leaving the strip they were problably just trollig and doubt they even bothered to loot us.

I just want to be able to kick/ban people since they updated battleEye to stop us getting to the admin panel! Logging in via the chat line then #Exec kick/ban "name" doesn't work and our hosting company doesn't seem to support BER :(

Well the problem is you can't seriously expect everyone to know what weapons are legal and ban anyone who picks up one that is hacked in. Sure you could get your friend to hack you one in, then your friend will get global banned and that hacked gun cost you £20 so yeah go for it...XD

*shooting from the hip* IRL which is the equivelant of shooting in game without Ironsight or "Scope" is notoriously inaccurate no matter how good you think you are. Sure some gun slingers make a show of rapid accurate pistol shooting from the hip but outside of a few godlike (Sorry I'm now going to go watch Bob Munden again....OK I'm back) examples most people would be lucky to hit shit from the hip in a fast moving encounter ;) I also found that CH encourage death match idiots. You can shoot from the hip and it's accurate enough at the right range but is almost worthless at long range, as it SHOULD be imho...but each to their own *PS: Srs...this guy is INSANE.

OMG I thought that exactly last night w a tractor, the last one I got into was red and blew up shortly after I got out, would LOVE to be able to check them out BEFORE getting into the drivers seat....

They say the sign of a great game is one that actually makes you stop and think about a decision or feel/question an action in game. For many DeusX:HR's final decision was a tough one they had to really agonize only. Getting into a game to the point where you really feel things and think about your actions/consequence is a great release so don't think all people who post about things like that are nuts, it's quite common. That said anyone who actually gets REALLY upset / Kicks their cat / punches their wife or rages for days about in game stuff probably does need help yes, but don't lump them together XD :) I felt Guilty almost everytime I dropped a player even a couple of times when THEY were the aggressor and spent some time pondering on humanity and the roll trust/fear plays in our shallow veneer we call humanity. But I'm not going to call in sick from work because I'm bedbound with guilt or punch my child because someone killed me ;)

It's hacked in, we've had a few we took of script kiddies we killed. It IS theoretically possible to be global banned for it but as far as I'm aware that's unlikely and appealable if you do as you didn't script it. That said you WILL likely be banned from any server you use it on as I doubt you'll have much luck appealing those. We sure as hell will warn you to drop it then ban you if you go around using it. Shame really as yes...we LOVE it XD, but the fact no one else can get one (unless they kill you) isn't really fair....

You don't and shouldn't. Yes some people abuse graphic options but what can you do, Gamma settings for one machine would screw over someone else with different drivers or monitor. You have to allow people to change settings and accept some people will abuse this. To say otherwise you'd also have to insist DayZ comes bundled with Spyware that makes sure Display brighness isn't set up too high or that the Graphics driver allow Gamma control outside of DayZ etc and you can go to silly lengths here that are well beyond dayz's already very limited develepment resources. At the end of the day I don't think these "advantages" are nearly as earth shattering "imbalanced" as some people seem to work themselves into beliving. Obvious troll is obvious

The only semi logical argument I seem to see against having Less than ZOMG I'M SO HARDCOREEEEEEEEEE! options is: It's too easy to farm up and give an advantage against people on VET Servers! Sorry STRAWMAN falicy. Anything that makes it easier for you, makes it easier for the other survivors to KILL YOU, and will logically DECREASE life expectancy and therfore farm potential and increase the risk of loosing what you already have. Lets face it, the only real challange for players trying to kit up is OTHER players, zombies unless you SERIOUSLY screw up are little more than inconvenient. You'd get closer to your apparent goals of removing ANY advantage one player has over another with t Battlefield 3 style Minimum players so the game Freezes if there are less than 10 players online and kick/ban any players who only play at night because it's easier for them vs people who only play daytime etc...

Care to explain what is so bugged about them? We've been using them and love them so far, would love for them to be more fuel efficient and not flip so easily but other than that they work just as well as any other vehicle.... If it's the hitting a rock and 'sploding or flipping, any vehicle will do that pretty much, it's a bug in general they need to work out :(

*sigh* as an Admin who's taken far too much crap from freeloading entitled little brats recently I have to educate somewhere here.... You do realise that Difficulty is entirely configurable via the server config file. Just because one server says Regular does not make it the same as another that says Regular as each server admin can customise what their "Regular/Vetran" actually means. Our Server has a Regular that is Name tags OFF, CH OFF, Auto Aim OFF, Super AI OFF, 3Rd Person On. Our Vetran simple turns 3rd Off and increases the Zombie skill slightly, but is otherwise identical to Regular. Not Being funny but as you are complaining about this clearly you don't host your own and rely on others to pay for or otherwise host servers for you to freeload off. Where did you get the gall to take a pop of the Admins paying their own money to host servers for YOU to play on for not having the exact settings you want when you clearly don't even understand what you are complaining about as the tags Regular/Vetran mean nothing....My Regular could be more hardcore than your Vetran server if I wanted it to be and it IS more hardcore than some Vet servers as I've tweaked the Zombie Damage up. I actually dislike the 3rd person myself as a lot of people use it and have supernatual seeming periphal vision as a result but we just can't the a lot of the video/screen shots we want without it so it's a trade off, and one we pay a substatial amount of money out of our own pockets to make. You don't like it, go pay for your own server or just go find one of the hundreds of servers out there that have the settings you like. Don't go moaning that people PAYING for YOU to play aren't doing it right. *rant off

Oddly some regulars on my server are having these issues despite us on the same server being fine. The tents randomly get their content back after a few reboots but.... The most recent patch (we just applied it today) is meant to fix this If I understand correctly

Bwahahaha excellent Have my beans :)

OMFG HAX!! You are using the flashlight one handed, everyone that plays dayZ knows this is physically impossible!!!

I suppose in the spirit of DayZ I would start at: Then go to

See my Avatar ^_^

XD Serves him right =p Similar to the supprise our boat theif had one night as we came back from a raid to see him trying to chug off in our boat. 2 Snipers and M240 Machine Gun and an Axe Weilding maniac were probably not what he was expecting ;)

What time zone are you in and what sort of play times are you looking at :)

Wow Haters gonna hate! I've been explaining loot mechanics to the guys on my server who ask and they do the same now. Empty the trash to a dump then go back and repeat, it's not an exploit it is litteraly spending time, exposure risk time and effort to farm for your Items. Don't understand the hate, god forbid you rely on hard work rather than dumb luck.....

As far as i'm aware the day night cycle is linked to the server time so it should be a real day/night cycle. DE 188 has a steady population for 18 or so through to about 3am GMT most days at which point it trails off to 3 or 4 users We love to play at night now as it really is so much easier to get around and get stuff done =p, not just because the population halves but it's easier to remain undetected and tactical planning starts giving exponential rewards :)

Well once per server reboot yes =p And even then the buggy nature of tents means there is a chance on each reboot the tents will just spawn empty and stuff is gone forever. Same if someone drives over them etc. But next patch will fix them.

Or is an old one but thats unlikely :)

Hey Fellah, I understand how you feel and we are the same but looking for a way to reduce the cycle and make our server a little more social. Without enabling Global side chat the best way we can think to do this is to reduce the fear factor of dying and so reduce the shoot first mentality. Failing that our philosophy is even if we don't shoot first, there will be enough of us with enough fire power to make sure we finish the fight with our enemies little more than stains ;) http://gcorpz.freeforums.org GCorpz are on every evening on DE 188 from about 6:30PM GMT Onwards. Our server starts to get dark about then and we have an evening population of about 8 or 9 players so it's a fairly relaxed way to tool up before popping onto higher pop servers if you want more interaction. If I'm online I can come down to you with some spare kit to tool you up and either go Vehicle/Tent hunting or go try our luck on a higher pop server ;) Our ATV's vanished last night (stupid bug...) so I'm planning on vehicle hunting mostly but can scrap that for some social hunting =p I'll be on about 7:30GMT tonight as I have some shopping to do first lol ^_^
