Good luck with that.
-
Highest kill count I've gotten so far is only around 40 zeds. Was doing pretty well until the entire server and I got killed by a hacker.
-
If you had to fight for it, you earned it :P Hell, you even died for it. It might have ended in completely mutual destruction had your friend not had connection issues.

That's... actually a good idea... A non-lethal gun that only knocks people unconscious!
-
RGO Frag grenades are legit! They're extremely rare! Don't dump them!
-
Follow the roads while scanning the fields and you will come across some fresh game soon enough. Although good luck spotting one at 2000 blood.

Not sure if its the same guy, but Seattle 112 was hacked about an hour ago. Ported every player to the same spot and then dropped us all from the air.
-
So dead bodies will immediately disappear if the player whom the body belongs to exits the server?
-
You know who you are. The one who teleported us all into one place and then dropped us from 50 feet in the air. COME ON! Have some creativity! Dropping us from the air? That's dull! Do something creative. Like... machine gun us all, carpet bomb us, run us over with a tank, drop a boat on us. Hell, you could've put a satchel charge under us and blow us up! You could've done ANYTHING, and yet you simply chose to drop us?

Whoever it was who just haxxed Seattle 112
vanchrian replied to vanchrian's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It was in an area I'm unfamiliar with. And he did it a second time. I'm not sure if I can find my stuff, even IF he teleported us to the same place. It looked like an airfield though, surrounded by trees. I could see some hangars/barracks. But since I've yet to visit any airfields, I have no idea which one it was. -
How do you throw a grenade?
vanchrian replied to Jayke (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
But the last time I pressed 'F' with a grenade in my inventory, my character immediately took it out and threw it, eventhough I had Road Flares and he didn't throw them when I pressed 'F'. -

lol. I've been reading some of the horror stories and I was wondering when it was gonna happen to me since I usually join the servers with a higher population. I just hoped that it would be something more dramatic... -
I call it DayZee... just so I can pretend I'm talking about daisies :P
-
Do note that while the servers tend to try to keep to local time, they're sometimes completely off. Like, once I was in a Seattle server that was at sunset, eventhough it should technically be a sunrise. Sometimes you get lucky that way. Your best bet in finding daytime servers eventhough it should be nighttime is to just keep an eye out for servers with high populations.
-
Also the Walkers tend to run AROUND you and end up behind you, instead of straight at you. If they do this indoors its gonna make it impossible to hit them without spraying.
-
Hmmmm... Well... if you play at around 9PM your time, some of the Seattle servers should be in daylight. Try to go for ones with high population. Chances are, those servers are in daylight. Other than that, you could try servers from New Zealand, but I'm not sure how's the ping between Aussieland and NZ.
-
Try some West US servers. Seattle has loads of servers, and they're easy to find by typing the name in the search bar if you use the Six Launcher. You will get higher ping thought, in and around the 150 to 200 range. But its pretty manageable since this game is so slow going.
-
Yeah, its hard to shoot zombies in close quarters because the attack animation often makes the model go THROUGH you, and you have no idea where the hit box is. Also, zombies will often walk through doors and indoor barriers, which makes it even harder to shoot them.
-
Indications of banditry might reassure survivors to not shoot on sight.

DayZ used to have a morality system, but it was disabled. Rocket has said that he wants to reimplement somesort of morality system in the future, but the current one he has isn't what he wants for the mod. -
Exaggerated or no, that was a fun read.
-
More players means a better mod for us in the long run. You think that people are gonna run out, buy Arma, and play this mod just because of ONE video? I myself bought ARMA just for this mod a week ago, but only after watching several videos, reading about it, following it for a few months, and so on. If people get the game and this mod after this video, they would've known about this for a while already. They'll either get the mod and enjoy it, or they won't. Either way, it means an influx of players, which is always good for the mod.

You gotta nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Servers being overloaded in 3... 2... 1...
