RaviN (DayZ)

I play dayz every day... I turn my pc on and launch dayz... I close this window and click "play" again on steam and steam says "preparing to launch dayz" the steam window disappears and nothing happens (no dayz.exe in task manager)... I open properties for dayz in steam then check integrity of the game cache Steam then starts downloading... When download complete i click play Steam then starts downloading 1 file again (which is 4.1mb)... When download complete i click play.. again.. Steam then starts downloading 1 file again!... Stuck in this continuous loop now and cant play :( * had to redownload/reinstall the entire game to fi this problem.. nothing i tried could fix it.. fml

good job :) but overhearting too much :'(

OVERHEATING TOO OFTEN :( also some dupe happened to my 1911. i had 1911 and wanted to drop it for Amphibia Amphibia in my inventory turned into 1911 :O right clicked duped 1911 in my inventory and selected "take 1911" hmm then in my inventory the 1911 turned into Amphibia :D no ammo's yet though :'(

yeah i got this, found some random guy that had no weapon (thats when they say they are friendly) rolled with him to meet his friend and started rolling with his friend too.. we all got crappy guns now and when his friend done a noob mistake in a barn and fell off the edge he died.. they must of spoken in ts and the first guy i met turned and shot me.. if you get the feeling that someone random is gona kill you, they probably are!

imo private servers are the best - no ones can log, move position and come rape you from behind.. how about just adjusting the night settings to have no moon at all?.. this is the problem, you remove the light source which is exploitable through the gamma settings and you wont be able to see fuck all at night - even with the gamma settings changed it would make no difference.. there was a few servers on the mod that did this, i did play on them to add the realism back into the game.. night vision goggles actually became extremely useful not to mention rare but other light source items were used because without them the game was unplayable..

no point in this as you can change gamma settings on your PC control panel.. i agree it would make the game more intense at night forcing people to use a light source and giving their locations away but people can and will use the pc settings for it if the setting for this is removed in game.. yes i do use the gamma trick, im not proud of it but everyone else does it too at night so why not right..?? i remember the first times i played dayz "mod" at night and i must say the rush from the game was incredible, i couldnt see shit without a torch, chemlight or flare!.. litterally i could not see fuck all.. it would be good if dayz could auto adjust the game gamma, and/or somehow check the pc system gamma setting..

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for #item#, I can tell you I don't have #item# but what I do have is an ak101 pointed at you. An ak101 I have acquired over a very long career. An ak101 that makes me a nightmare for people like you. If you let me go now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.

lol. send him in first as bait :P haha

so.. i get to the military base just north west of stary trying to get a better gun than the one i had (CR527 Carbine).. i peek around the corner and see a dude just running into the south barracks, i waited for him to get further into the barracks before making my way to the doorway.. i peek around the door and aim down the corridor, he pops out looking at loot so i say down the mic "DROP YOUR FUCKING GUN!!".. he shit himself and tried turning around while raising his gun, i took the first shot while he sprayed his sks at me, i leaned back out and nailed him braking his bones.. i now say through the mic "drop your fucking gun or me and my friend will come in and kill you".. he says ""dropped" in chat message.. so i go to the window and check and sure as shit he has dropped his gun and lay on the ground with his hands on his head.. i now say "im coming in, my friend is outside covering me if you try anything he will kill you".. i head in and he starts taking his clothes off, i say to him "im not a bandit i dont want to steel your stuff im just looking for a better gun".. i asked him to come outside where my friend can cover me in a better position, i told him to pick his things up including his gun.. he crawled out and he didnt have the supplies to make a splint to fix his legs so i helped him make a splint and we talked for about 20 mins.. he told me he had no more ammo in his gun which is what he was doing here, he was looking for a new gun, so i switched to my secondary weapon (Repeater) and gave him my ammo for his sks which was not much and also gave him some food and water and even my 1911 with lots of ammo as a token of saying sorry for almost killing him (i felt bad).. i later let him into a little secret that i had no friend watching over me and that i was on my own, i just said that so he would feel out numbered and comply with my requests.. i asked him if he wanted to roll with me and loot together to which he said yes and just as we were about to set off.. the server restarted.. when i joined back in he wasnt there.. goodbye my scottish "friend" :) http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/537387075191939955/ED8EC87C4935318655A97728356BAA1A274EF07A/ http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/537387075191943009/C87344CA2B7998F8E5D107D80C752BD7237383E9/

so because i say hackers are noob faggot kids with no skills that automaticly means i am a 10 year old with no decent vocabular? who said i wanted to beat people with my words anyway? i posted a brief opinion of hackers. (An opinion is a belief or judgment, an intellectual judgment)

@ covance btw mods do delete posts and shut down threads with no reason given (no pm or post). common courtesy realy :/

seen as the standalone is not out yet and no definate release date (that i know of) you should get arma2 w/ operation arrowhead >> one of the best fucking games(/mod) i have played <<<

we usually just fly a chopper over them to make them agro and follow the chopper while ppl bail out and get the loot :D or if were on foot just wait for them to walk away.. (if we have shit loot we just go loud andkill everything) if the zombies are respawning at the chopper while your looting it your taking the piss to loot it. only stay there for 1-2 mins max coz someone will probably soon have you in their scope.

*more melee weapons! (replica katana/machete, more damage and more range than an axe, also with a higher chance of breaking bones.. also hunting knife... would be cool to use the guns as melee weapons when we have no ammo instead of switching to axe etc. (knocks zombie back but takes 3-4 hits to kill a zombie - a lot more to kill a player ofc) *FLAMETHROWER!!!! IMG ~ hopeforzombies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/flamethrower-at-night.jpg (removes backpack, but ability to carry X amount of jerry cans inside FF, kills any zombie after X seconds of burning, kills enimy player after X seconds of burning, alerts zombies within X distance, raises temperature of player by X amount per second in use, if player is shot directly in the back he will explode!) *bloodbag could be thrown as well as used?? - the bag obviously destroyed when thrown but used to draw zombies to it, they smell the blood! (exactly the way zombies are drawn to smoke grenades etc) *MOAR SKINS!!! *spray paint. ability to spray your picture on buildings (like counter strike <3) removes the image on server reset IMG ~ i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/topic-frontend/3/5/3/78353_v1.jpg *ability to fill water bottle at a cow (changes name to milk bottle untill empty, then reverts back to water bottle) *dust bin lid shields, riot shields. replaces your PRIMARY weapon but can duel wield with a pistol. shield has a health bar just like a vehicle does. can be repaired with scrap metal. IMG ~ i126.photobucket.com/albums/p109/yomommassis/1-4-1.jpg IMG ~ i126.photobucket.com/albums/p109/yomommassis/3-2-1.jpg can also be used to slide down hills for a quick escape: IMG ~ i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/01/07/article-1241199-07C67785000005DC-510_634x413.jpg *GUITARS!!! IMG ~ images.wikia.com/stalker/images/7/7a/SCS_Guitar_Loner.png * football/balls. lootable items. can be dropped on the ground and if colision with player it moves. <<< this will be soo funny at base/camp... can be thrown like a smoke grenade to attract zombies.. can be destroyed when shot and makes a loud bang.

As we all know there are dodgy servers with dodgy people playing on them, i wanted to create a thread just to get a list of private server names that we can avoid playing on due to hacking/bad admins.. Dude, where's my car?: The server id like to mention is, UK 5555 - If the admin see's you in a car, he will kick you from the game and steal your car before you have chance to log back in.. I thought this was funny but without the lols.. Now please post the name of the server you would like people to avoid and why..

Seems to me that there is hackers EVERYWERE on EVERY fucking server now, may it be private or not, last night each random server we went on had hackers in them. Rocket... please SORT your shit out!

this should be added to the game for when you have no ammo in your weapon = melee with your weapon funny bug tho xD

what you gotta do is repair the only option that shows up, then after you repair it the other options will show. eg we broke a wheel but the option didnt show, the only option that shown was to repair fuel tank, we spent an hour finding a fuel tank, then we were able to fix the wheel

UK 25 - (not private hive) definatly hackers in this server, while in chat people were talking about hackers, i was in a remote location so i decided to chat, so i said "hacks are for faggot kids with no skills". within seconds of me saying that someone teleported directly behind me, lucky enough i had 3rd person view on and seen him spawn, i jumped up and put a whole clip of stanag into his chest.. and when i say a full clip i mean a full clip, this dude spawned into my location and was standing within breathing distance, i could smell the shit lingering from this kid. yet he did not die :/ i have been told that the hackers name is: abdullah i cannot comfirm this as i was too busy to notice his name while clicking franticly at his head. @Woodland Warrior i duno who did it dude, im pretty sure it was admin, but saying that i guess it could of been a hacker i suppose. i definatly got kicked for my uaz tho. when i logged back in i heard people taking on mic, very quiet, then heard shots from near the s/barracks so i investigate and there was my uaz next to a blue van with 2 people looting from one to the other. they drove off so i took the blue van.

Usually i play in PVP/other servers. I tried this server tonight and it was supprisingly good, a nice change. Teamwork was great, If you needed help, if you needed a ride, If you needed a gun, if you needed ammo... you got it. If there is one suggestion i could make.... make a base inside one of the hangers at the nwaf... shiiiit, just turn the whole nwaf into a base... have cars/trucks/etc which are full of differant types of loot... ammo, meds, guns, food, tools, misc... use sandbags, wire fence and tank traps to sepirate the differant loot cars, maybe do something usefull with the loot you have collected. it would be nice to just go and get ammo and meds instead of chasing it all across the map to get it. anyway, nuff said. make a good base with the shit you collect :D

[EDIT] thanks, ive spawned at the coast with all my loot.[/EDIT] yup, NVG's, Range Finder, GPS, Cayote Backpack and Silenced M4A1 :(

you say there is no convincing argument for keeping the NVG, yet there is no convincing argument for removing the NVG. "because its alpha and we should" is bullshit. ...you get killed at night so he MUST have NVG's.. but he probably just has his gamma turned up! there is only 2.6% of all players that have NVG's. (those players that actually go ond scout the map looking for loot and eventually find NVG or the players that play in a team and are given a spare set of NVG's.) also if you are too stupid enough to go into somewhere like NWAF, you deserve to die, or come out of it alive with GOOD LOOT = NVG's, cool guns etc! these still RARE items are a REWARD for exploring and SURVIVING, so why should we REWARD the ones that dont explore.. with removing the NVG's? People can and will play at night because you can sneak around, that is the point in playing at night. next you will be saying to remove all guns to stop player killing :D i suggest you carebares go play ~MineZ instead of ~Dayz because it seems to me ~Dayz is too hardcore for you.

Ander from the Dayz Staff posted this: 2.6% ..... Nuff said!
