So I logged in this afternoon and 1st server is the 'fly me to the moon Alice' hack fun but still I move onto the next one and it's 'thunderdome' now I dont mind hacking doesn't bother me I play casually so never have anything too epic to loose and it allows the 'cod kids who got killed and got their panties in a bunch' to vent some of that if i get killed I'll kill you all anger etc... If they were a bit more creative like pulling everyone to nwaf and giving them akm's and flooding it with zombies that would atleast be more fun and the community would be less likely to care.. My opinion ofc. Last log is to UK22 I start afresh left side of cherno, surprisingly close to the supermarket so I run in make it to the supermarket trailing 5 zeds that's when I see you lying prone, aks kobra in hand aiming at the door my heart sinks and the 'ah well hopefully I'll spawn in balota' thoughts kick in when to my surprise he doesn't pull the trigger, but instead kills the zeds then direct chat pops up 'friendly' the first dude I'd found in 30 hours of playing who won't shoot me down we build an uneasy trust me and 'player 1' and he covers me while I loot the supermarket when then make it to the fire station and I find a remington and akm I move to the church, stand bad wire blocking the way and aggroing 4 zeds I bolt for the pub revolver in hand I put each zed down but loose my comrade in the process, eventually I make it to the treeline lie under a line tree and boom teleported to zelenegorsk pitch black and stuck on the back of an atv - 6 L85 shots and I'm dead, not too peeved at this got my gear really easy logged back in a kamenka deciding I'd hit the first northern deer stand I get teleported again this time though... I was ready I was auto running which allowed me to run away and collapse (aparantly the fall of teleporting broke my legs) but wait its dark I'm lying surrounded by server full of corpses and I start looting I grab an Alice pack of a dead guy, an akm and then you stand in front of me like a ninja your coyote backpack opens up and gives me nvgs, mp5sd and an as50 all this lying down waiting to hear the L85 put me out when I then see morphine looting it I wait 1 min and log I'll log back in tomorrow when I don't have work repair my leg and carry on north, so to you 'player 1' thank you for your help and showing me that dayz has less trigger happy people in it, and to the hillbillies hackers with the atv thanks for setting me up with enough gear to keep me alive for dayz (pun intended)

So after battling the horrific glitches of 1.7.5 and the chaos of 1.7.2 finally managed to log on for 45mins straight - on this journey started in the small area outside three valleys crawling through the undergrowth towards a building managed to aggro some walkers - only one thing to run for it I thought - running through the woods managed to make it up a steep hill and loose the walkers - found a tower climbed it and looking around discovered a hidden tractor packed in some bushes - so after so careful and tactical crawling made it to the tractor. Awesome I thought as I looted it finding beans binoculars and a Winchester with plenty of ammo, finally the dreaded beach hatchet deaths would be behind me. Or so I thought, why not drive a tractor I said, it'll be fun I thought so testing my luck I jump in start it up and boom I'm off down the hillside tearing towards the city... When all of a sudden boom and I'm out of the tractor on the floor and 200....150....85... Dead. So long tractor, hello hatchet beach... Was fun while it lasted and what an amazing experience and fantastic game until next time tractor, until next time....

Just logged into a server no 3rd person - still ok but really laggy perhaps just hit and miss with the patch 1.7.1.5?

ok so managed to get on a server but I am invisible fml if i downloaded 16gb for this not to work any ideas...?

Alright guys must be something im doing wrong - have downloaded arma 2 and arma 2 arrowhead (CO) downloaded sixupdater - did the file transfer and update double checked files are in the right folder - also downloaded the beta patch however on every launch all I get is - a black screen with loading when I join a server = I can join BLUFOR and select 'survivor' but it then just goes to a black screen with mundane 'loading' writing. Also I have checked the files all seems correct is there something I am missing? *checked the internet and done the modification to the steam launcher - updated all the files as well only thing I get other than the black loading screen is 'bad version, connection rejected' when i try to join servers through steam launch any help would be much appreciated.
