I find this satisfactory... Have some beans.

Awwww....... Your problems are exactly what was supposed to accomplish.... delaying the continuous respawn spam to get an optimal spawn. Just be glad you can respawn with a broken leg... The trolling/revenge potential would be over 9000 otherwise.

Waaa... no tents for you.... Seriously... Was it mentioned in the patch notes? No.... So it probably wasn't fixed. Assume it wasn't. If by some magic it was part of the undocumented changes... Enjoy.

Try setting your Video Memory to Default and Post-Processing to disabled. This will sometimes fix the issue... I've had about 50/50 results with it. It seems to work if you have been in game less than hour or so. *Edit: Someone beat me to it....*

Other than a potential teleport hack to appear at the players location, the custom skin and sound are legit things in Arma 2, if a bit annoying to setup.

Laughing so very hard... Co-workers think that I am crazy.

Never seen anything odd there... day or night... Might risk it again after looking up the stories.

Such honorable tactics.......Showing your clan's true colors..... May such failures follow you the rest of your DayZ career as long as you engage in such behavior.

Are you sure you're playing the right game? You gave him a gun and you left alive.....

It is entirely possible.. OP is a new player. OP likely jumped right into gameplay like most, finding a system with similar elements to many other games, but with its own unique quirks. Unfortunately, DayZ/Arma plays a bit differently than many other FPS/MMO type games, and is not always the most intuitive. I admit to doing the same for most games... reading the manual/help is only for when you get stuck. Most games are nothing but the same basic controls with a different skin/ui on top. Even after reading some guides, it takes a few attempts to get the timings right to bypass the zombies/players and hopefully get loot. It can be rage inducing spending 10 minutes avoiding players/zeds to find 5 tin cans for a new player.

Fear not OP..... Most of the negatives you have received are by players who think they are God's gift to gaming and think they could play the game blindfolded with their toes. It simply takes time to learn which buildings actually have loot, and a fair amount of luck to find loot in those buildings. Most of the decent spots mentioned have often been picked clean only a few minutes before you arrive. Sometimes you get lucky and get a weapon within a few minutes, other times it could take a few hours depending on your playstyle. Get used to the weird bugs and aggro ranges. Once you can work around them, you can get in, get your loot, and get out. If you want the best loot spots though, you simply need to look at your fellow player. Be careful about putting down another player in a city... you can cause your own death when you get 30 zombies on you in an instant.

I used to, then I took a bullet to the knee. Now, if they don't respond in a reasonable manner within a reasonable time frame (which is quite short), they get shot.

Fanboy trolls are out in force today.

Roulette-level Zombie vision. Will he see you? Will he not? Zombie 2 meters away is blind, but the zombie across town is hauling ass to get you. Breaking your leg by crawling over a pebble. A one degree incline? Broken leg.

I disagree... DMR mags are only rare AFTER you find the gun. When defenseless on the coast, every deer stand seems to have one. Can never seem to get a life where I can find the gun AND the ammo.

Funny x10... Couldn't breathe for bit... beans for you.

Someone needs their nap..... While a simple google search would have solved their problem, you do not need to behave as if this were a Blizzard Forum

Unarmed... I'll attempt to team up. Within the first few exchanges of conversation, you can generally tell the motive. I then either play and have fun... or break their leg, and run off to a secure spot to watch their actions.

Alpha... the ultimate fanboy excuse for not fixing any bug... ever. Rocket has even stated that it is GOOD for us to bring up what we view as bugs. Even though they are boring to fix and don't gain the attention like new features, the game is only as good as its worst bug. You're the type who would justify a bug that had a 50/50 chance to kill you on login as, "It's only in alpha... you should expect bugs, just ignore it."

Potential Consequence of the "No Respawn"... Griefers run up and down the coast breaking the legs of new players... Run across an unarmed individual? Break their legs.. Solution? Respawn timer. Lets you use the respawn button once every X minutes/hours/days. Not sure if possible, but I can imagine all new sorts of hell, especially as legs are broke in the middle of the woods, where even crawling to town to get killed by Zeds could take a while.

Ran across another player who was a dog in the power plant... Player wouldn't die after multiple Enfield shots to the mid body... Dog layed there and poof... instant human form... proceded to break both legs... where they just layed there again and got up and attempted to run away. Broke legs again. Only after about 10 Enfield shots to the stationary player chest did they finally die. If they were going to hack... why run around unarmed and in dog form, albeit with large life?

Hacker or victim of hacker.... Doesn't matter.... First few shots were mostly of WTF.... snuck up on me... after I saw it refused to die... I realized it MUST die.

+1 But.... but... but..... the game doesn't stop me from doing it so it must be legit..... you're just trying to be a carebear ruining MY fun......... Too many people simply take the stupid path here... if the game doesn't specifically prevent me from doing so, I'm going to do it. I understand the intent of Rocket not wanting to purposefully limit pvp as it could create a cool balance of survivor vs bandit, but he seems to have failed to consider that the anonymity of the internets turn people into self-absorbed monsters.

Does anyone else have a problem with the load time to actually get into a server and play? Is there local video settings causing my game to take forever to load? I'm new and attempting to learn. Which means I die more often than I probably should. I expect that, but when respawns take 5 to 10 minutes, I end up fearing the respawn more than death. And when I do end up getting into a server, I'm met with Pitch Black Night Time. Not playing the night game until I can actually survive day time for a while. So it is back to the loading or waiting for character screens while I play Angry Birds on the tablet.... I've tried servers with low ping, dropping my settings to minimum, Gozerian rituals to Zuul, nothing works.. Am I suffering alone needlessly?

Can someone give me some tricks to killing zeds with the axe without getting hit? Where is the sweet spot for swinging the axe... Excellent weapon, but I do need practice at it to get it right. By the time I find an axe (my luck is horrid), I don't really feel like wasting a life or two attempting to get the timing correct. Swing too early, zed closes distance and you bleed. I seem to miss that spot most of the time and end up taking blood loss on new characters until i get a firearm. Also, STAIRS... is there an effective way to use the axe on stairs? Zeds go slow on stairs... but they seem to have a longer range, while the Axe feels shorter range on stairs...
