vile.

It really is not, if you use the term exploit in a video game connotation, which i think we all are. But yea, should just stop arguing because 3rd person will never get removed, and first person servers will be added soonish anyway. Everybody's happy!

Actually sounds like a great idea. Make them very slow to reload, with fairly short range and bad accuracy to keep them balanced. Could help to reduce KoS since you could just tranq someone, then cuff them. It would remove alot of the risk of having to shoot people whom you just want to rob but who then panic and do something stupid forcing you to kill them.

No it's not an exploit, it's a different gameplay mechanic from first person, and since everybody can use it, it gives no player an advantage over another player. It only becomes and issue when some people prefer not to use that mechanic (which is totally fine by me, i get why some players will prefer first person only) and are therefore at a disadvantage to those who do. This issue is going to get solved once first person only servers are introduced. There, nobody will be at a disadvantage for using first person only. But saying that people who are using third person are exploiters because they are using a legitimate gameplay mechanic, just because you voluntarily restrict yourself by not using said mechanic, is complete nonsense. And then trying to even the grounds by forcing everyone to play the game the way you prefer is even more ridiculous...

So according to your logic, in every competitive multiplayer game that uses third person instead of first person everybody is exploiting all the time...?

Thats why you are going to get first person only servers soon enough. And the majority of players will keep playing the game the way they prefer, on third-person servers. Like they have been for almost 2 years... Everybody's happy! Worked in the mod, and will work in the SA.

My group and me went on an elektro raid on saturday and killed about 7-8 people there, and all of their corpses disappeared after about a minute or so. Same thing happened when one of my mates got killed. Pretty sure this bug is high on the devs priority list though.

Thats not true. Saline IVs restore most, if not all of your blood. Tried this out many times with my group.

3rd person will never be taken out, and for a very simple reason: The vast majority of players prefers it. This discussion has been around forever, and eventually there will be first-person only servers, just like in the mod. There have been many many votes about this issue over the years, and rocket himself has acknowledged that most people just prefer to play in third person. If you really think rocket is going to piss of the vast majority of the player base by forcing them to play in first-person you're delusional...

Apparently it can spawn in the shipwreck north of Berezino.

How the hell do you have an M4 equipped and a Mosin on your back?!?

Never encountered a single hacker in the SA so far, and neither have of any the 6 friends i play with. The last two times i tried to play the mod in a public server it took about 30 minutes until one of them teleported next to me in the middle of the forest and spawned boxes with all the arma2 weapons and 500 mags for each one. Not to mention the countless times i got killed in the mod by nukes, thunderdomes or teleporting the whole server 1000 meters into the air...

Actually the of the capacities of the backpacks are fine imo. What needs to be changed is the spawn rates, especially the 35 slot mountain backpacks are all over the place and actually more common than the two other types.

Cleaning your wounds with alcohol tincture makes you sick, even if you were fine before. But you will not lose any health and after 15 minutes or so the "sickness" will go away. Probably just a bug.

This.

Most people in DayZ are terrible, bandit or not.

It's bad enough hackers are running wild in this game, but even worse is that people are actually making videos using a hacked weapons or giving out hacked soldier suits... It's retarded that there is no punishment for using these items and even promoting them on the forums. As far as we know most of them might have been scripted in by themselves...

Ok, so i could really use some feedback cause this game is trolling us like never before... I had a fully stashed ATV on one server for weeks now, and I've been using it a lot since 2.5 and a tent close by. Earlier today i checked everything out, used the ATV to raid for vehicle parts in Berezino and parked it again in its orignal spot after i was done. Now after a server restart the tent had reset to the status it had WEEKS ago (one pile of wood instead of everything that was actually in it) and the ATVs DUPLICATED and its stash was reset to a fresh spawned ATV (1 tent, 5 heat packs and 2 cans of beans). Now a few hours later i was picking up my friend in Solnichny with another ATV i fixed up today on another server and after we arrived North the server restarted shortly after i parked and saved the ATV, and AGAIN its contents were reset to one tent, 5 heat packs and 2 cans of beans... We lost a huge amount of items to bugs neither of us has ever experienced before (and we have been playing 1.7.2.5 since Saturday) so we're not sure if its worth playing if tents and vehicles just randomly reset now. Would really appreciate it if someone has some info on what is going on...

Nobody cares about the gear you lost or the gear i lost, i just came here for information about a bug. How hard is it to understand that?

I was asking a question about a bug and you were posting the same tired old phrase that idiots on this forum tend to spam in every single thread that sounds like remotely like complaining without even reading it, which is what i assume you did. And yea, we lost 3 AS50s, 2 M107s, an Mk48, tons of ammo, tools, vehicle parts including 3 engine parts i spent 3 hours getting earlier today among tons of other stuff, otherwise i wouldn't have bothered posting here at all...

@ Prez: You're a tard. Read the post next time. @sp86: thx for the info... very weird that it worked so well for us until today.

Fixing vehicles works fine, you should only repair the parts that show up yellow/red in the context menu. If you want basic vehicles i suggest you fix up a few ATVs. They are small (aka easy to hide), fast both on- and off-road, have the same amount of storage space as larger vehicles like the UAZ or Bus and easy to find. There are spawnpoints on a mountain between cherno and elektro, west of khelm, and near a house north of NEAF, all of which can spawn up to 2 ATVs. Checking these spawnpoints should net you one pretty fast. The only downside is that they sometimes flip over and it takes some practice to get them back up again, but theres plenty of how-to videos on youtube. Also never ever drive into harbors or over bridges with an ATV...

Could have been. I just ran through the forests north of NEAF and suddenly heard footsteps very close behind me. I couldn't see anyone and when i stopped for a second i got shot by a m4sd at very close range. At least i was able to alt-f4 before he killed me...but yea, hackers can go invisible and teleport next to anyone on the server apparently.

Best zombie killing gun in the game. Smaller mags than the Bizon but the much higher damage is great for when you have to kill crawlers or hoppers that are facing away from you. Also has a red-dot sight which is 10x better than the Bizons iron sights. It's decent for PvP as well doing the same amount of dmg ast he AK variants and it makes up for the reduced range with the suppressor. Also ammo for the m4sd is MUCH easier to find than bizon mags.

Well said. Have some beans.
