OMG I FOUND THE SWAMP MONSTERS, IS THIS BECAUSE OF THE NEW UPDATE?!??! OR IS IT HAX LOL?

Location?

Sigh. It is battleye we all need to rage at. Battleye is NOT IN ALPHA and neither is Arma 2. DayZ isnt the problemn, dayZ is great. Its what its built on, and the software it uses to prevent hackers which is dare i say it, POOR.

+1 beans.

Spent two hours gathering parts for our helicopter, had a guy on berezino docks factory roof on US217 kill us. He magically absorbed 5 AS50 bullets to the head and chest. So we respawn and server hop to US 1070 (where the heli we found is located). Gather the parts, run to the heli, patch it up. One last thing to repair...and then boom. Im swimming out and see a guy we just killed swimming across with full gear after 5 mins...DMR, ghillie suit, all the goodies. We hid his body earlier so there us NO WAY that he got it all back. needless to say he shoots and kills two of us while i stay on the mainland and watch someone else who is geared up swim across...i shoot at him (player name panda_de),and then POOF. He disconnects and ghosts onto the island where he promptly absorbs TWO DIRECT CHEST HITS from the M1014 with slug rounds. Good bye hard work... This mod (even for an alpha) is too broken to play. And most of the blame lies with the super duper all singing all dancing piece of bull shit software that is battleye. Poorly designed, poorly executed, poorly updated. Rocket I actually feel sorry for you as your mod is being destroyed inch by inch because of another company's incompetence. Just as a final note, two of my friends who were equally annoyed done an experiment to see just how long it takes to hack arma. The result? 10 minutes. For any game, that is absoloutly disgusting. The only thing that compares to the number of holes in arma's defences is an Abrahms tank with swiss cheese for armor.

Had my legs broken at 11k blood, one hit by one zombie. POOF. Legs gone and i have no morphine, same happened to my friend so we crawled to Stary Sobor millitary tents for morphine only to find i couldnt look at the tents due to the graphical issues DayZ is experiencing. Still, it was quite fun in a way. Hahaha.

Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear.

Ok so this is merely a spontaneous off the top of my head suggestion that I had this morning when i got up, and it has been brewing ever since! I hope it is well received although you are all, of course, entitled to your opinions! So here it is. Helicopter crash sites are littered across chernarus, we've mostly all seen them by now - Downed heli, zombies, beans. It is one of many things that could quite easily be spruced up and given more awesomeness and atmosphere with randomisation and scripts. Why not have helicopters ( rarely, very rarely!) fly low over chernarus, low on fuel, damaged and just ripe for crashing. Upon nearing a predefined crash location ( after flying over some towns and such to grab survivors attention) it will go down, and taa daa, heli crash site as usual ( with some touch ups such as bodies in the cockpit etc). Normal loot, usual large zombie group you know the deal. So, i hear you ask, what IS different and dynamic about this? what is the point? Well lets deal with the attraction factor first. You see the helicopter limping over that ridge, and you hear the explosion, you see the smoke belows rise. Your curiosity is immediately hit, you're drawn to the helicopter, you must investigate! But, whats this? Bandits and survivors alike who also spotted it, all running to the site for the goodies? Instant immersion, adreneline, and possibly a PvP bonanza. I am NOT SUGGESTING THESE WILL REPLACE NORMAL CRASHED HELICOPTERS BUT RATHER SUPPLEMENT THEM! I believe this would add a new layer of authenticity ( I know your all about authenticity Rocket!) and a really potentially fun aspect to the game, even for those decked out bandits! But to sum up; * Random helicopter crashes in addition to the current static sites. * Same loot, same zeds. * More fun! * Better immersion. Thanks for reading and sorry for gaps/typos and poor structure ( i'm nearly sleeping and on a phone haha)

I'm not sure you understand...the helicopter that leads you will crash and spawn the loot, but there will also be the normal ones that haven't been flown in.

I am currently in a small clan, but I will keep my eye on this clan for the next couple of weeks. Are you planning on getting a website ?

It really is just luck, but heres a good way to improve your chances! 1. Firstly as said earlier, get a mic.Talk to people, they are more likely to be friendly if they are speaking to you. If they are armed AND do not have a mic then assume they are hostile. 2. Play some regular arma multiplayer damnit!!! Get your arse on a co-op server and meet people! Arma has a FANTASTIC community, and you might be able to find some new mates to play DayZ with. I have used both to great effect, and have a small clan of my own.

I now have an m14 aswell, i would be willing to trade both.

On normal arma 2 servers i've seen this. It was always caused by a destroyed vehicle, the fire animation scale had been grossly increased so i think perhaps it is a bug? If there was a destroyed vehicle then it could be, if not then yeah your right - hacks.

Hello. I am interested in trading an MP5SD with mags for one of the following rifles ( with atleast 3 mags.) * SVD camo * M107/AS50 ( with 2 mags as these are high power) * M24. Would you be able to facilitate me?

And yes we got your rifle, but it bugged up and dissapeared mate

Aye thats wht we thought, there were two bandits inside. I got the first with my M16 and when the other one turned round my squad opened fire on the barn, we all ran inside and then you got two of us haha! We killed your buddy when he came looking for loot, and then decided to use a decoy and smoke tactic to draw your fire while our 50 cal looked for you haha! It worked atleast. If its any consolation - we all died an hour later after getting ambushed haha. Might see you again today anyway lads if your on UK80!

Hey liquidator, My group killed you today, after you got me and William haha. was that your clan in the barn? 2 in a red barn, and one outside who came looking? then we picked you off with a .50cal...happened this afternoon? (19/7/12)

Hey everyone, Just thought i'd share this with all you other survivors ( and bandits alike ). So i was wandering up near the Bay ( north east ) and found a boat. Unfortunately it was glitched. Running low on food and water i decided it was time to start heading back and loop round to krasnostav for supplies, I found this along the way!!

Happy hunting! Just be cautious, incase they are still around!

Ok. Go into arma and practice on pvp severs. Take your group and learn how to deal with sniper fire, being suppressed, coming under fire from seemingly everywhere. YOU have to adapt. The mod does not need to change. You're in a group which is an instant advantage, just stay clear of high traffic areas until you and your members are comfortable with what to do in if you do make contact. And in all situations maintain the following; Be alert. Be clever. Be swift.
