    Tent Duplication

    I can confirm this dupe and another method: on a placed tent, rapidly clicking "Pack Tent" while in the packing animation will cause multiple packed tents to drop.

    Icons on the map that look like forest's?

    Those black marks are cliffs. If you go there you'll find large, 30 foot or so rock formations that will break your legs if you look at 'em funny.

    [UPDATED] Weekly Stats, PvP Trends

    And I think the sun is square, but that doesn't change the empirical data.

    Where to camp in Elecktro?

    On top of one of the cranes. No one ever looks there. (Ninja'd by "Breaking Bad") ...obvious troll got too obvious.

    Ghillie Suit DayZ vs. CoD

    No, we wouldn't have. He's bitching that the boots are the wrong shade and there aren't gloves on a skin that comes with the game engine, not the mod. He just made it worse by trying to justify his point by saying CoD did it "right."

    M4A1 CCO SD on US 669

    You know, there's a special way to tell if it's hacked. You mind meeting up with me so I could have a look at it? #notatrap

    Infected need advice.

    Infected as in sick with the flu. You can get infected from zombie hits (extremely rare) or exposure (temp <32). Will slowly decrease your health to 6000 until cured by antibiotics and makes you very audible to other players by means of coughing and sneezing.

    Do zombies respawn

    Yes. They respawn every 15 minutes or so, which is a reason you don't want to aggro in cities unless you're ready to fight a horde.

    What *Isn't* allowed besides hacking?

    1) Disconnecting to avoid death - AVOID being very liberal in its definition. If you DC to avoid someone you hear outside your building, even if they are unaware of you, you are using an exploit. If you DC when you aggro a zombie, you're exploiting. If you DC as you're shot, you're exploiting. Get to a safe location before logging out. 2) Racism / blatant offensiveness isn't okay. While it's not disallowed by in-game rules, you will probably be banned by any server admin with a sense of decency and it's fully within their rights to do so. Other than that, go ahead. Shoot the unarmed noob on the beach. Blow up the car you found so someone else can't use it. Trap a guy in a cycle of shoot/bloodpack/shoot/bloodpack like you're a sodomist needing a fix. Hide a guy's body so he can't get his gear back.

    Idea to reduce combat/zombie logging

    That excuse is like saying you started a fire on your carpet because you didn't know how to use the stove.
  11. The M9's loading breach is through the grip, so the entire magazine must fit inside. Combined with the internal structure of the grip (guiding rails for the mag), only M9 magazines will fit. Try fitting a curved magazine into a straight slot. However, an MP5 has an open loading breach (see picture). The entire magazine doesn't need to fit into any predetermined space, only for the top of the mag, which is universal in size for all 9mm weapons. Therefore, an MP5 can use almost any size magazine, from its curved 30 round magazine to its straight (and M9-esque) 15 round magazine to its drum 100 round magazine.

    Zombie Ideas

    1) USE THE FUCKING SEARCH BAR. 2) The zombies in Walking Dead were not Romero Zombies. They are clearly seen sprinting and moving quickly when disturbed, only showing "shambling" behavior when survivors are undetected (see Rick's foray into Atlanta, Season 1). 3) The game cannot handle "10 times as many" zombies. The ArmA engine is already being pushed to the limit with 50 players and 500 zombies.

    Quick thought: Smoke nade/Water

    Idea #1: Suggested to hell and back. Idea #2: Actually pretty good, I've wanted to do something like that myself.. +1

    Warning: Boundries

    Actually, the in-game map does go far out of bounds (where the numbers wrap around into the 999s). People who stash off-map use the in-game map or a GPS to navigate.

    respawn

    Yep. Respawn should be relabelled as "suicide."

    Infected need advice.

    Don't take the pansy way out! Keep this character alive, find or trade for antibiotics. Sure, it's a bitch to live with, but the satisfaction of surviving and beating a cold will be worth it.

    Tents?

    Tents spawn in residential areas - shacks, apartments, houses, supermarkets. Markets have the highest drop rates / loot points, so check there - a friend and I found four tents in Berezino today. For some reason I always find them two at a time. As for placement, it's very buggy. A good thing to try is the "running placement" - open up gear, right click and hover over "Place Tent." Then, start moving forward (without closing the screen) and hit "Place Tent" after about 6m (when the screen closes itself). If you time it right, you'll place it in front of you. Warning - you still need a flat, open area - attempting to place inside of objects or on steep inclines will cause it to warp, sometimes on top of you. This fix only helps get over the "There's a tree 50m away so you can't place it here" bug.

    Well there's your problem.

    Short break without disconnecting

    I have to go to the bathroom a lot. Here's my "break" method: 1) Find tree 2) Go prone 3) ??? 4) Profit Making a break mechanic where you'd literally disappear from the game is bad for three reasons: 1) This already exists. Abort, but stay in lobby. You remain in the server, your character disappears, and your load time is cut in half. 2) Too easy to exploit. Hear a player shooting outside your supermarket? *Poof* Wait a bit *Poof* shoot guy in back. 3) Superfluous. If you're taking a 5 minute break, you won't be taking in while in danger (aka zombie attacks, PvP) in the first place. When you're in a safe zone, you don't need your character to disappear (hence the "safe").

    Consumable fluids etc

    1) Suggested multiple times 2) The canteen is already extremely useful. The fact that it can be refilled makes it an extremely valuable water source. Making it multi-use would just be a tad OP, especially since the current mechanic makes any drinch quench 100% of thirst, meaning that one bottle is good for 45 minutes. Hell, I carry two and never use them. I'm always up to my balls in soda that I just drink it on the spot nowadays, and I'm not even touching any big towns.

    Crafting

    SEARCH. BAR. 1) Crafting has been suggested, splints in particular 2) Fishing poles have been suggested many, many times 3) Don't split your topic with unrelated, rambling lists of "brilliant ideas" 4) Putting "lol" in your tag line doesn't exactly make me respect your suggestions.
