Hey lith - been on hols. Thanks for the thought :D Im good tho 150 is my max I think.

Yeh I had died so wanted to play about down south. You ended the fun :P Today I kept getting spawned back to electro for no reason. Ran north, logged out for a bit, logged back in and I was in electro. Tried again, ran for an hour, logged back in - electro. Heh frustrating stuff!!!

Hah at balota air strip?

Nice work man!!! Good blood pump levels. Ignore all these people telling you how to be and how bad you are, I doubt any of them would have come out on top. Calm down?? The man was in a fire fight!!!?!

Weird bug - not sure if server or hacker. Suddenly all our guns, in our group, changed to an AKM with ammo. In gear menu it shows akm - but in top right it shows m14 and when i reload it reloads with DMR mags. It also fire likes a m14 with the aim scope still attached. I changed server and it still shows the same. Off to work now though :( Maybe someone logged on an did some hacking stuff and it screwed everyone over??

nice one mate

any idea when you might get a chance to update to 1.7.2.2? thanks lith

25 bucks... for hours of entertainment. Or 5 beers! easy choice. Get both and be happy

Niceone lith,,the desyncs were kinda querky. Server went down, i ended up in krasnostav, tabor at the factor and angus was dead. Haha!

niceone

Did we get you in the hospital? Did you get us runnning out of berezino?

Loving your server bud. :)

nice - our group are joining you

I agree. On top of that I would also like to see an enforced respawn timer. Its would be another mechanic to make it feel more important not to die. If I had to wait an hour before I could start playing again I think i'd be less reckless.

Haha cant believe that stuff was legit. We were convincing ourselves the crash was no big deal because it was probably a spawned vehicle.... Oh well hah. Nice to see this server has an active community.

You guys had the truck with all the weapons in it??? Looked like a hacked truck to us - too much stuff parked in cherno. Lucky for us one of our guys cant drive for shit and crashed it, exploding him and all the contents. Im pretty sure xtinction wouldnt of been ghosting. We just joined this server because we had our base hack bombed by some idiots last night. It looked like you guys had some well established groups fighting each other, based on this thread, and we wanted to get involved. I'll let him defend himself though.

I'd like it if speed was affected by the weight of what you are carrying and perhaps even your energy levels (food). I started thinking about this after a recent encounter. I was caught unaware by two guys and it ended up in a chase, they came across me while I was in a bit of a bad spot - . I was down to 6k health, out of bandages, had no food and I was starving to the point of losing life. I had looted my friend after a gunfight at the airfield and had his SAW in my backpack while carry an MK in my hands. The rest of my alice and inventory were filled with ammo. They should have been able to catch up to me and take me down but because I could run at the same speed I was eventually able to juke them in the trees. I feel as though my options should have been limited to either dropping some stuff, hiding in a bush or taking them on.

I'm not disputing this. Perhaps being shot at should increase you run speed "for short bursts of time" if over burdened and running slower than usual.

I'm not sure what you mean about running forever... I'm not so concerned about the ability to keep running. More so in the speed in which I can maintain regardless of what I'm carrying. While I'm sure adrenaline would play its bit, eventually being over burdened by weight would slow me down.

I think as the game fleshes out a bit more, in terms of what there is to do, and the balance of difficulty is adjusted we will see less mindless violence. I know its a bit of a catch phrase but "its in alpha" comes to mind. Personally, I doubt we're going to see any drastic changes in the management of the players in this game/social experiment until a lot later down the lines, if at all.

Don't you think having items have a higher drop percentage with groups would be going against the open sandbox experience? I don't think you should reward or punish people for playing in groups or solo. Surely being in a group would be advantage enough without suddenly being rewarded with extra loot; and surviving in dayz alone should be hard enough a punishment then having less items about to survive from.

Even so I dont think friendly fire will ever be disabled. Personally the only way I see people being more willing to cooperate is by making the game harder to be solo or introduce fun game concepts which are almost impossible to achieve solo.

The problem with this idea is that it kind of goes against whats going on here. This game about immersion and people being people. If you listen/watch to the PCgamer interview with rocket. He talks about wanting to not even have a hud - and it seems the only reason he didn't do it was because it became difficult to show if you were hungry, thirsty, cold etc.. A pop up disabling friendly fire is too much interference with the basic concept of the game.
