Because getting hit with a high powered .30 caliber bullet going at speeds in excess of 2000 feet per second is exactly like getting slapped with a piece of paper.

As others have said, you can find a hatchet so quickly it's really not needed.

No. Why should people be able to immediately spawn in all their buddies to them when they get into a firefight or trouble?

Lord Sergei Siminov wants the SKS in the game!

Jesus Christ. So I get back in after I filed the report on this happening on another server, and I wait for my friend Buket to reach me to the TP'd location. Then all the sudden, the whole server teleports to somewhere in what I think was the top of the International Hotel in Cherno and people started dying and killing each other. I logged, and so did my friend. This happened just before I posted this. This is the second time within a couple hours this has happened to me... (~3:50 AM Eastern is the time this happened) EDIT: It seems me and my friend both made a report. Is there a way to consolidate it into one thread?

I have no idea how to counter it, but it seems to be happening a lot, both from personal experience and what I'm seeing on this forum.

No. This is a video game for one, and this is Day Z. You will lose your gear, do not get attached. Not to mention this is an ALPHA test.

Well, I was on 1128 outside Berezino, when all the sudden the whole server teleports to the underwater area (Where we could still run somehow) and then a few seconds later the server turns from bright daylight to a completely black moonless night. All I could hear were people laughing about how "They made us mad" and I disconnected before the shooting started. This happened just before I posted this.

I spawned into the game in another server and got out of the water. The hackers teleported everyone to Pobeda Dam.

Yeah, I remember seeing it in the chat. And in no way is this your fault, you arn't the one that did the hacking, they are. All you did was make them butthurt by killing them and taking their stuff.

You guys can't seem to grasp that this is an idiotic concept. I'm done argueing with you, posting, and basically bumping this thread.

Doesn't that eliminate the (retarded) point of the feature then? Noone would ever choose sleep logout because it's exactly that; retarded.

It could be a neat feature, but I think it should only log people who "Carve" their name into the stock of a gun, or write their name on a backpack, ect, so that if you don't want your item attributed to you, it isn't. Not really a priority feature though.

You realize the game world is only 225 sq kilometers right. There will be disconnected people everywhere, and people WILL stumble across you constantly no matter where you hide. The Arma 2 map is big, but even if this feature wasn't totally fucking retarded it's waaaay to small for a feature like this. Edit: Shark, same thing I said about bodies. There would be underground bases literally everywhere, there's too many players and the world is waaay too small.

I don't know about you, but waiting 5 minutes after I log into the game to play would be ridiculous. Especially when every other server I join is either A. Super laggy and in need of a restart and/or B. So dark I can't see anything. Not to mention, logging in would be like waking up, I don't take 5 minutes to be able to get up after I wake up.

Shark even if they're instanced, they're still somewhere on the server and take up memory, and in addition to that, where do the people without underground bases go? And if everyone does have a secret underground base noone can get to, what's the point of this feature anyway, since noone will ever find you?

Agreed, some US weapons should be present given Arma 2's backstory, but the stuff like British guns being at American chopper wrecks that are in a post-Soviet nation makes no sense at all.

You realize every object that isn't a part of the world (Static buildings) takes up server processing power and memory, right? Hell even buildings do. This is literally the worst suggestion I've ever heard, and I really hope you're a troll and not just a fucking idiot.

In addition to this, you'd have 700k people on spread throughout the servers asleep. You'd constantly be finding sleeping people. How is that at ALL realistic? Not to mention, it'd overload all the servers from people being on it. Add in the fact that all the servers would have to constantly communicate to see if someone logged in on another server so that the sleeping body can despawn. Also, when you sleep in real life, if something comes to kill you, you wake up. You can't do that if you're out and about doing stuff in life and arn't on the computer 24/7.

First of all, you shouldn't be running up to people and trying to chat. Noone is going to trust you. You should be evading them or hiding from them, if not shooting them yourself. Secondly, why the hell is this in suggestions? One more thing, find a group to play with. As Bukethead already said "Welcome to Day Z".

And for anyone that didn't play Arma 2, Chernarus' backround is that it's a former Soviet Sattelite state that is in civil war between Communist, terrorist guerillas and Russia, vs. the USMC, the CDF (Chernarus' army, uses a mix of former Soviet and US weapons), and local guerillas.

I also might want to add that the "New production" AK's here in the states are often made of parts kits from old military rifles. They have to cut away the barrel and reciever, and can only import the parts to the rifles, in which they put the parts in a new US made reciever with a new US made barrel. So really most of these guns arn't even "New".

You've got to be kidding me, right? If only current production guns were in the game, there would be no Lee-Enfields, M16A2's (Only A4s), and there wouldn't be very many (if any) FAL's, AKM's, no wood, non DMR M14's, ect as most of these are made for the US civilian market. Oh, and by the way, the SKS is still in production at the MOLOT plant in Russia. Besides that, military-issue SKS's were made by the millions in Russia, China, Yugoslavia, Romania, North Korea, Vietnam, East Germany, and Albania. These guns were handed out, similary to the AKM, Mosin Nagant, ect. to just about every country that said they were communist. These rifles are still in warehouses all over the place, and many were surplused and sold to civilians. Also, I've just as many SKS's as I have AK's here in the states, and I often find the two together. All in all your arguement doesn't hold much weight. You saying you own a custom AK shop doesn't mean much either, as I'm a collector of communist-bloc military surplus weapons.

Agree one hundred percent. I can find an AK (Usually multiple) and ammo within 5-10 minutes spawning, tops. Access to a fully automatic, high powered weapon should not be so easy, especially not when you spawn. The SKS would have similar damage, just not full auto, only semi, and only a 10 round mag as it's fed by stripper clips like the Enfield. I also agree with the Mosin making more sense than an Enfield. The Soviets handed the things like candy to other sattelite nations, and they held on to all the millions they had made after WW2. Not to mention the guns made outside of the Russian arsenals. Same thing with the Tokarev.

So I logged on Day Z today, one of the Chicago servers I think, and start walking around. I needed a transfusion. So I find a guy to help me unarmed, and give me a couple packs and bandages as a thank you. We then run off to avoid a sniper, and we go our separate ways after a bit. However, I then ran into his friend with an M16, and we met again. The unarmed helper ran into the city, and M16 guy and I went off to loot stuff. He gave me a makarov as well. We escaped zombies, snipers, and death, until ultimately we got killed with someone by a .50 cal in a barn. Our co-operation was short, but if either of you see this, I would like to thank you both. You renewed my hope in this game that was lost by being shot on sight over and over again. I now have hope that this game CAN succeed thanks to you.
