TigerEye (DayZ)

Try hunting with an unsilenced weapon and see if anyone finds you. I've been shot while gutting a goat and I've found players who have shot animals as well (didn't kill them though just let them run on by).

225 square kilometers and only 50 players. That means if there is only one player in each square kilometer you have a 1 in 4.5 chance of being in that square if there are actually 50 players. However, just because you are in the same square doesn't mean you can see them. I rarely see players myself. Part of it is taking the time to sit and wait and watch for players. Usually I am traveling and exploring and I'm not always looking side to side and behind me to see what's going on. The more crowded the server the more I do that but it's still easy to miss something.

Not that they'll do anything but you need the time, timezone, any screen shots and all the player names on the server. Still they won't do anything but they can't do anything with the info you've provided. They don't even post here to give the illusion that they are doing something.

* Server this happened on.--NL 17 * Time that it happened including your timezone. About 4:30 AM EST * What happened during the incident.-- When I logged into the game I had a AS50 TWS in my hand. Further inspection of my inventory revealed a 1911 as secondary weapon and an empty Coyote pack. I also had a Range Finder. After notifying my friends they told me I would have spawned with a ghillie suit and night vision but I already had those. Further inspection of my surrounding revealed my original pack on the ground under me. It contained the original contents from previous play. However my M4SD was gone as well as my M9SD, Grenades, and other items. Since it seems a screenshot of names isn't proof I guess there is nothing else I can do about it. I'm not giving up the AS50 TWS. If everyone is getting them then discarding it would put me at a severe disadvantage.

It's 1:00 am EST, and my friend was killed by a guy who spawned next to him. At first he talked to the guy and said he was friendly but then the guy shot him. By the time he was done telling me about it a guy spawned in next to me with a kind of yell "aahh!" and then he started talking to me in direct chat singing the song "Eye of the Tiger". This could only be a hacker. This guy had camo clothing and a helmet on. He knew my name even though tags aren't enabled and obviously he spawned right next to me. Since my friend said he was invincible I combat logged before anything happened. As I write this my friend is talking to him. He respawned and the guy teleported next to him. There are about 12 people on there now. [LR] Brian--is my fried--KIA repeatedly Brelando--KIA OP CGKkap-KIA Bubbadubz Hyperionforge Papasmurf--in the Lobby Pimp C. McBig Dick Ryukago S--KIA Santini Swinder TRBO I figure that it's probably not one of the KIA's. Probably not the guy in the lobby but I don't really know how hacks work. Anyway it's probably useless to write anything about this. As I understand it you are impotent to do anything about it. But whatever.

And now YOU have a AS50 TWS!

Nothing will happen.

First come first serve. If your clan members were hard core they'd already be on the game instead of waiting for someone to leave.

Possessing those weapons is not a bannable offense. You should only ban them for spawning those weapons into the game. If they kill someone and take those weapons then that is fair play and they come by those weapons honestly. If you ban people for possessing those weapons then you have to ban yourself since you possess a AS50 TWS. I was just on NL 17 and when I spawned into the game I had a AS50 TWS in my inventory and my coyote pack was empty. When I got up and looked around my other pack was on the ground and contained my actual AS50 but my M4sd that was in my inventory was gone. I'd rather have my M4sd back and if I hadn't found my pack I would be without a main weapon and only have a 1911 (my M9sd was gone as well). By your logic I should be banned after suffering a hacker attack.

I saved the bike and came back in the morning after the server restart. It was standing up in the road where it was left and I got on and took it away into the woods. I guess whoever wrecked it made it unusable for a time but the server fixed it.

There are two ways to get this gun. 1. You hack and spawn the gun into the game. This is bannable offense if caught. 2. You kill the guy who hacked the gun into the game. This is not a bannable offense. You can possess the gun. You just can't spawn it into the game. If they banned everyone with the gun then they would ban people who came by it honestly.

I'm having a similar problem right now. My friend got hit by a car and when he tried to get back on the bike it wouldn't let him. All it says is "save old bicycle". I've got a tire and scrap metal in my inventory and it gives me an option to repair those parts but both parts show green on the list. I can't figure out how to board the bicycle. I've saved it. Will a server restart fix things or is there something magical I can do? I love the bicycle. I think it is the best vehicle in the game.

I've noticed that if I put something in my inventory and I log out just after that my item will be gone when I log back in later (or right away). I've tried to get in the habit of waiting a minute or two to log if I've pulled something from my tent and want to move to another server to play with friends. I'm not really sure how long I should wait though. Does anyone have any idea of when it is safe to disconnect? I'm going to be doing some trading soon and I'd like to disconnect as soon as the trade is over but I don't want to lose my trade either.

The hatchet is the quietest and strongest. Usually one hit. Second is the M4SD with CCO. Good optics make for easier head shots than Bizon. Mags are easier to find and the muzzle flash is less. 1 to head 2 to body after last patch. Bizon is next. 3 or 4 to body (not sure after last patch), 1 to head. It lights up the night especially if you use NVG. Not a good weapon to use at night because of the muzzle flash. It not only reveals position but can blind you if you go full auto. M9sd--best handgun right now IMHO. Secondary weapon, 1 to head, 3 to body--same as bizon. Mags easy to find, and can use a more powerful primary weapon if you want to go loud.

I had a similar thing happen yesterday (July 30) in Vybor on NL 22 about 2pm EST. I was leaving a brick house, I was crouched and walking slowly, I swept left and saw a guy crouch down and I unloaded a clip from an M4CCO. He was only about 5 meters away so I should have hit him but instead he shot once and I was dead. I had fired at least 20 rounds before he fired.

I'm looking to trade for a Ghillie Suit. Willing to trade NVG, GPS, and a M4a1 Holo with M203 Grenade Laungher. Also willing to give Bison and mags. Name your price and we'll work something out. I found one yesterday and 2 seconds after I put it into my inventory the server went down. When I relogged it was gone. Tired of looking and willing to make a deal.

Hopeless I don't have skype. I'll pm you though.

I just saw this thread and I'm sorry I missed the event. I'm wondering if you have a price list or barter list? Things that you have to offer for trade or things that you are looking for. I'd like to get a ghillie suit and maybe a m4sd with holo and M203. What would you want for either of those? Range finders are nice too.

To tent or not to tent that is the question. The answer is to tent. Most people don't have vehicles so the vehicle storage option is not useful. Also, unless you are parking your vehicle way off map then someone will likely stumble onto it and drive off with all your gear. Sometimes tents don't work. Not always sure of the variables as to why. For instance I set up a tent last night and put some items in it and saved it and today the tent is there but the items are gone. Could have been someone stole them. Could have been the server lost them. Could have been I was de-synced at the time and the items weren't saved. So what is the answer? If you put stuff in a tent there is a chance you will lose it. If you don't put stuff in a tent then you will either never pick it up in the first place or eventually someone will shoot you and you will lose it. Tents are a chance to lose. No tents are guaranteed to lose. Vehicles can be blown up, stolen, pilfered, run into trees, moved to an unknown location, etc. etc. If I were you I'd go with the tent. Find a nice out of the way place to put it and store a few things you might need later after you die. All this said, there is no way I would trade for a freakin' tent. They aren't too rare and can be found in many civilian and residential buildings. The items you offer are also common and not worth risking your neck for. If I'm going to trade with someone it's going to be for something big to make it worth bringing my crew along with me for back up. You go into a trade for a stupid tent you are just begging to get murdered. Thems the hard facts brother.

I was just playing on US208 at about 3:30 am EST and everyone on the server died at the same time. I was nearly Mishkino when and running towards my tent. I simply fell dead and every one on the server died too.

I played on several servers just fine last night and this morning, but then they did a server restart and I can't get on. For us208 I was getting to the "loading" page with a full bar and never beyond that but today I either get that or it says I'm kicked because "battleye client not responding". What has changed in the few hours since I played last night?

This server should be avoided. Tents and saved vehicles disappear one day and reappear the next. Characters often aren't saved even after several hours of play. I played several hours yesterday and found two military offroad vehicles. After driving them around for an hour me and my friend stashed them in the woods. Today they are gone as well as 4 tents at 4 locations. Also when I spawned into the game I was at the Northwest Airbase in pitch dark and was shot before I could find my way out (lost some prime gear too). The server resets every 160 minutes and whether your tents or vehicles will reappear when it restarts is anyone's guess. Oh yes, and there is hacking. Lots of it. My friends are abandoning this server and as soon as I can find a new server that works and doesn't disappear on me ( I mean US 509 Atlanta here) I'll move my tents over (if they ever reappear again).

Cheating is cheating. This guy was using a glitch to get extra ammo in game. If Dayz is serious about banning cheaters then this guy should go.

I like the idea of slain survivors becoming zombies. Killing them will allow you to access their loot. Of course, the "zombies" are apparently living humans infected with a pathogen that makes them nuts. Of course that doesn't explain the ashen face and rotting skin. Anyway, I like the idea of survivors turning into zombies. In fact, I like the idea of player controlled zombies (was that suggested or did I just make that up?). After a few seconds you wake up as a zombie. You wander around half blind, capable of running really fast, and wanting to beat the tar out of whoever you can find. Maybe even get a little revenge on the bandit that shot you.

NW airfield is definitely worth it. After all, the primary goal of this game is to have fun. If all you do is play it safe then you are just killing time. But raiding the NW airfield, especially when there are lots of people on the server, is a great time. That said, you should behave reasonably. Use cover when it's available even if it takes longer to get where you want to go. I like to circle around the entire airfield and approach the tower and fire station from behind. If anyone is camped in there I can kill them. From there, I make my way to the hangars making sure to scan the area with my binoculars to see if any snipers are visible. Since Gillie suits don't work right now that job is made easier. It's best to go to the airfield with a group. One person as sniper and overwatch, two assault weapons, and at least one suppressed weapon to take out zombies. One guy checks the loot while the rest set up a perimeter and keep an eye out for bandits (bandits are anyone who are not you and your group). I also recommend not bringing your best gear and come with your backpacks empty. That way you can get more stuff and decide what you want to keep later. One important thing is to not stick around. Get what you want and get out. Worry about trading clips and equipment later on. Safety is the primary goal here. And last of all, try to find out when the server restarts. Some servers reboot every 160 minutes and others do it once a day. If you can find out when that restart happens you can show up at that time grab the prime loot and get out quick. All loot, vehicles, and helicopter crashes respawn when the server resets (except for saved vehicles).
