I really look forward to active whiteshitlist scanner on server - if you have illegal shit, skin etc. you drop dead - like a police sniper killed ya and judge standing by and nodding IRL... That would really made my day! Why is not everyone using scripts to allow commands only from server and players that are visible and have legal stuff? That would leave only noobtubers. I could see this as a firewall (droping shit packets or modifying them) that can be used for server and client. Is someone up for the task?

These thugs don't mess around! Watch out for plenty of lollipops and shorty's.

Player has 12k life one revolver shot anywhere except the body does 1.389k of damage. So you need nearly two mags for kill or aim for head ;) Zombie has around 4k of health. Use weapon chart for comparison.

RLY since when they spawn in game?

Noob? Playing on server with names + range and shooting everyone in ghillie? Sniper or Man is not related to ghillie or at least might not be (tested with buddies last week) If you want to do justice to them report their names to server admins so they can ban their ids.

If self defence will be introduced eq. when killing player I am in his/hers line of fire or player that was stalking me for some time then hurray :) But running week without killing anyone is impossible without sitting in deep forrest and hunting for game and swimming in pond. I for one think skin is powerful incentive to behave differently - like menu in McDonalds - nobody needs that menu option but why not to buy it ;) when it brings customer value - in sense of presumption of hero/baddie skin something like chick skin at which some people refuse to shoot :D

Killing zombies, surviving with comrades, killing hostile survivors, bandits and game poopers, burying their bodies, helping survivors, baiting survivors, scaring shit of survivors. Once I and 4-7 buddies maintained for 2-3 hours security for all peaceful survivors in Elektro by overwatch from towers and helping them on ground. It was amazing experience and I think not expected from your point of view (first post). It wouldn't happen if we have not got bored from all "team work" securing our camps vehicles and stuff. We just picked sniper rifles and rest hatchets and went to city. I think beauty of DayZ and not playing DayZ is in that nobody knows how to play DayZ IMO not even Rocket. And scenes and scenearios, roles and relations that emerge are fascinating and beautiful. Just please don't categorize everyone by momentary behavior.

I snipe a lot but M107 or AS50 is not my weapon of choice mainly due to nearly no noise (the latter one - don't take me wrong but when I want to shoot group of people I want them to scared shitless run to nearest cover) and disabling whole right portion of my vision because of these weapons is not worth it. Mostly I take DMR but using bolt action system makes the game better, cause you are forced to plan your shots and cannot switch to adrenalin spree and waste precious ammo. Still shooting on more then 750m with DMR is like rolling a dice and wishing for 6. Personally I like M24 cause of DMR mag = 4x M24 mag (ultimate ammo storage) and accuracy of this rifle. IMO any .50 cal is perfect anti-sniper weapon just its for longer range than any other weapons and of course for shooting down Huey. But still how many of you had to calm yourself down before placing first shot on multiple targets when you are alone in the tree line? :) Anyway with spotter holding L85A2 AWS you are dead no matter what sniping system I can get my hands on. Its infamous accuracy makes him cry every time. In reality this weapon is supposted to be precise but in DayZ further than 500m it is just random. I still wish for bolt action .50 cal sniping system in DayZ :) M95 (my favorite BF3 weapon)

Wolf packs 3-5 and bears alone. Probably using fire or torch to keep them away.

What about wolf packs? And you have to use torch to keep distance from them? That would add to scare factor cause of their 10min lifespan. Also wolves lived in such woods just hundred years ago and some bears to. (Czech rep.)

Ok this is mine confession: With group of guys I hang out for month or so now things are getting bit boring except for Huey hunts. Most fun thing to do is plant traps and bury people in buildings and sometimes road races. Some of them you can see on . Latest prank was really fun.One of our guys died and spawned near Cherno. By chance he found naive survivor which shared guns and stuff with him. Then they wandered to Elektro. I ran down to power plant and undermined chimney. With some lame excuse of need to cover his ass while looting forced survivor to climb up that chimney. When he started doubting and moving back down I . (vid should be up today)Yesterday or so we placed charges in office and hospital in Elektro. Some guy run into us at office so we told him to get hell out. He did. But not for long that stupid brought another one with him and ran into building while we were setting up to blow up those charges. We decided one warning should be enough so trigger was pulled and .Man I love DayZ!

After restart of PC and first disconnect seems to be working, just one infected saw me from far away others behave ok. Count of infected in cities and their movement adds to better feeling of being surrounded and will prevent more players from just running from buildings. :)

Where can i get 94705 beta? Servers have this but only available on Arma II beta downloading site is 94700.

If i had read access I would create and host polite API proxy. But there is one issue with API, players with high value items could be targeted. Fetching info about all players on server and getting api results could lead to really useful intel and thus changing meta game - hunting players. Bad in my opinion because of out of game provided information is simply out of game. Just alive time alone, zombies killed or murder count could be hinting how valuable stuff player has or help to decide if is worth hunting. So i really don't know if API is even desired. Probably public html profiles for players to boast as i saw on Rezzed video but these could be scraped and used against player so privacy/only trusted survivors option will be necessary public option for noobs would be ok i guess.

Any 1.7.2.1 server i try to log into immediately disconnects me from game. I suspect BattlEye
