I find it funny that over 50% of the forum regs know the correct answer but are keeping quiet. What's that saying.. Your silence is deafening.. The answer is pretty obvious. Just gota hope someone sacks up and admits it.

I placed a marker on the map and I want to remove it.. Is this possible and how do you do it?

Wow is it idiot day on the forums? DCing to avoid DEATH is an exploit. Op is fine. Boarderline unethical at most.

I am about 18 for 20 on raiding the barracks solo. I've only been shot at twice, got away once and killed the other guy. Both my deaths have come from zombies, and that was in my first few days playing. In fact, I blame topics like this because at the time I was too worried about other players to deal with the zombies correctly. Yesterday, I killed a animal and cooked his meat on the runway on my way to raid the 2nd barracks.

I don't think locking your server is considered any worse than banning everyone because of 1 hacker. Sounds like you do what you want anyway, just go ahead and lock it..

1- play until your bored then go back to CoD. 2- play until your bored then go back to Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Running it on: i7 2630QM gtx 560m 8gb ram I actually think this game looks awesome on medium settings (720 res). I do get some slowdown when I zoom in, but the game runs pretty good. I've been able to max every other game I've tried on this laptop with 1080 res besides this and Skyrim. I think this is plenty of power but the HD is what is holding most back.. A SSD would probably help a lot, and is very nice to have anyway. Maybe that Ramdisk program will help, still haven't tried it out yet.

Got my first bandit kill last night. Well, it should of been my 3rd but apparently if they suck at shooting it becomes a murder. Anyway I'm leaving the NW airfield after a nice quite raid on the Northern barracks. No signs of other survivors, no zombie aggro, a nice little perfect run. After about 5 minutes of running though the forest I spot another player heading the opposite direction, which pretty much means we are running towards each other. I dive down and he keeps running, somehow he didn't notice me. I decided to let him go because I was full of decent gear already and saw no reason to kill him. He only had a pistol on him. Plus hes obviously going to the airfield and is just going to raid an empty barracks, maybe after he is done I can go back and get some freshly spawned gear. After hitting a few deer stands. I make my way back to the barracks, no sign of anyone, so I start looting and once again I'm in the middle of another perfect run. I'm crawling/rolling around to avoid the zombies, getting close to the barracks, when suddenly a Z makes a dash at me. I'm sitting there thinking how the * did he spot me and my confusion only grows when he runs right past me. I glance over my shoulder to see another survivor sprinting right at me with a pistol, and the zombie sprinting towards him. He lands 1 shot and I have 2 broken bones. Then the zombie starts hitting him and he is forced to unload the rest of his clip on him. By that time I've already got him down the sights of my M16, and I unloaded half a clip into him. I take care of a couple Zs who heard the shots, including the only one that attacked him and saved my life. He never even took him down, I can't help but think what an epic fail all around. I go to check his body. 3 morphine, bandages, and enough food to get be back up to 8k health. I walk away feeling like DayZ superman. I was killing animals and starting fires on the runway after that, then the adrenaline wore off and I went back to hide in the woods.

Lol then every clan out there must be spawning stuff in. -You can have a tent with extra gear, you die you just run back to it and your fully geared up -You can have a friend come pick you up after death, and give you gear from his person or the car Anyone with more than 2 weeks experience in this game should of figured this out unless they are slow. "Cheating" in this game is as easy as finding a friend or a good hiding spot for your tent.

LULZ @ the alienware noobs. /End 13yo mode.. OP, he probably has a 660m or something close.. Have your tried searching for a Nvidia control panel? Going to their webpage and getting the latest drivers (see if it tells you the card)? I find it hard to believe you are messing with BIOS and stuff but you couldn't find the video card if it was that simple.. Then again I find it hard to believe there is no easy way to find it in the first place.

These forums really need some ban happy mods.

Not sure if trolling or not.. Hes not saying killing people for their stuff is a good/nice thing to do, just that it is a legit reason to kill someone. Sure its a dbag move, but at least there is reason behind it even if that reason is selfish. That is a long way off from someone who kills you because they know it will piss you off, because they want to inflate a little number on their screen, or because they are bored with the same crappy FPS every year and want to keep it fresh. . Those are selfish reasons to ruin the game for their own amusement. Which I think was the point OP was trying to get at.. Killing people for selfish reasons IN GAME is 100% fine and encouraged. Killing people for selfish personal reasons (your bored with zombies, you miss CoD) are the type of players we need out of this game.

You are 100% correct. I think this is what people don't understand. Most of us don't want to hold hands around a compfire, we want the danger of PVP/bandits too.. If we didn't, then we would go play a co op game. What the other side doesn't understand is that people coming into the game just to see how high of a killstreak they can get is not any different, if anything they are worse. That is not Dayz, there is nothing PVP about that and never has been, that is called Deathmatch. I'm not sure how many posts I have read about "I get 50-60 kills before I die" while I have never read a post that says "me and my co op group killed 600 zombies before we died". Both groups are wrong, but only 1 group can really be a problem in the game.

Would a nuke in the game realistic?

Isn't that how DayZ started? I thought the zombie mod thing had been done with Arma and the reason this mod took off was because you can save your progress.

I guess someone finally took the "If you don't like it make your own mod" comments personally and did just that..

Next time a noob on the coast begs you not to shoot, you better make him clean out some buildings... Before you shot him.

Who's pretending what now? I'm saying that this gun was the Anti-sniper weapon of choice. You had the chance to see them before they can get the drop on you. Balance. Sorry I didn't realize snipers were not allowed to use them also, because you know something can't be "anti-sniper" if its also a very useful tool for the snipers.

Can we all stop pretending that snipers are not the main group of people who use these things.

Wow so they really removed this? That's awesome! The "hardcore" vets of this game are crying again, great, that means the game just got better!

99% of the time I only have a couple open spots in my inventory.. I try to do it when I can, but if I only have 1 open spots I'm not making 10 trips. Also, not many people are going to clear out popular spots with 24 different loot spawns. I wish there was another way. I'm sick of risking my life to get to a top military loot spot, just to feel like I'm getting someones leftovers.

I'm sorry but after you have played the game for a few days its so obvious when loot is the exact same as it was before. I really doubt people are getting confused. The odds of the same exact loot spawning in a high yield building has to be in the billions.

I was going to say the same thing, first person does the trick for me.

They should really add a topic just for stories like this, they could even sticky it so anyone with a brain would know to post it there.
