Foogals (DayZ)

Fair enough, could be certain Beta/ Beta patches with certain computers. ARMA updates are almost always trouble.

^this.. This is why you can't always be mad at bandits.

Could be ARMA acting up, hence why computer restarts help it. But it also might be the servers being weird. Happened to me too, even at ranges of 15-30 ms/ping.

This is jackassery beyond compare... though it is funny since I wasn't hurt.

@ Albatross: That's very odd... I really do hope it's just 'privating' servers and not your game. I'll try and look into it though. Might try my above suggestion yourself, seems to be a cure all for a lot of Mod related bugs. @daze23: Can you please expand upon that? Does it stick on that screen at all servers? Does it happen whenver you try to respawn?

you know it's funny, I found Antibiotics at the same time my buddy got infected. That was a good laugh.

Honestly? I kinda wanna just wander.. Meet friendlies... Explore and scavenge cool stuff. And just survive. I might drifit off to another game in time, but i'll bet you dollars to donuts that I'll be back... hehe 'I'll be back'

Now this is respectable, Kudos... You know, the funny part is that i've almost never come across any strangers. I think... 2 times people have seen me. and on 4 occasions I've heard/seen people without them knowing. Weird, considering I hang by the big boy cities pretty often. Ah well, I'm sure that'll change one day, hopefully for the better without me jumping out of my chair and my heart exploding out of my chest.

Okay, I'll put this here for anyone who might still be uninformed. ARMA OA beta patch V. 94545 reeeally screwed things up. So what you want to do is uninstall the Beta (Or Operation Arrowhead if needed). Reinstall an older beta (Above V. 94444) and refresh your @DayZ folder (Redownload)... Hopefully that'll work, aside from that it may be certain servers causing these problems. Thanks and Have fun.

I will do my damndest, day in and day out, to not shoot... Yeah, i'm gonna die a lot. But then again i'm not terribly attached to most of my gear and a new life can let me try a new playstyle (Melee, Enfield, Shotgun, Crossbow, stuff I haven't tried.). So while I find shooting someone before you can even begin to assume their intentions to be in poor taste, I'm not entirely bothered because well... Who am I to tell someone how to have fun?.. ...Even if it does involve being a psychopath or an asshat.

Many thanks! Good ideas, need a bit of rethinking so as to fit the immersion better. But I like it because I have very serious doubts that in a Real-Life apocalypse 9/10 people would shoot first... it'd be more like 7/10. Darned internet anonymity brings out the evil psychopath in most of us.

First of all, Burn. Second off, I've been having the same issuses. At this point I think the best thing to do is wait for proper fixes... I'll keep trying to get it work though, and if I find a work around i'll let you know.

Think you need to fix the link... Not working as far as I can tell.

I like this one, he/she has a sense of humor alongside being an asshat.

An interesting post, I'd love to see things in these manners put into the game!

Went well actually, I didn't go NEAR a city until I got a skype group and the server we were on had nobody in Elektro. :D

I got corrupted memory #0 myself, can't get into any server now.

Well, not too long back I was in Electro. Server was mostly empty and so I took the oprotunity to loot and what not. The server time was night so I did the usual turn gamma up thing, though in retrospect I kinda wanted to use my flashlight. But as I was going about my buisness I noticed a really weird shadow, like a dark silhouette of a person. I didn't really bother and thought it was a zombie and just moved on. Then when I turn around it's in the doorway... I panic and switch my flashlight on, but as soon as it goes on the shadow is gone. So I start getting paranoid, and as soon as I find an 1911 I keep it on hand at all times... A little while later it pops up again and I squeeze off four rounds. The thing doesn't flinch, doesn't even show it's been hit. So I run my ass out of there and it dissapears again, and I get kicked because of too high ping (Was playing on PL server by friends request.) Haven't been on a server during the night since...

Well, i've been playing DayZ for about a week now. I'd like to start by saying this game is great even though it's an Alpha. Alongside that I see a whole lot of potential and wish Rocket and the Dev team for DayZ the best luck in this Mod. You've gotta love these kinda games. Games that feel open and feel like every little personal touch of yours can come back to haunt or reward you. Plus the extreme tension created by meeting people, other players is something i've never seen before. Everyone has their stories and (With given consent) I'm hoping people can share some of their seemingly random experiances on this thread. For my two cents, I've never ever found a sniper rifle with a scope (Not sure what the Enfield counts as) but i've tripped over 3 tents, an AK, and two Ghille suits in my short time. This is intrestingly weird in my mind, but also awesome that stuff like this can happen. Aside from that I got shot up by some people I passed who I thought I yelled 'friendly' at, and it turned out my microphone was switched to mute. TLDR: Share some of your better or worse experiances! I'm gonna try to read 'em all. Also, gotta love it when a graphical glitch makes it look like the NW airfield is on fire :3

Yeah, that's what happened when I accidently left my mic off and got in a fight :o

First of all, good job indeed! Secondly: I'm a bit sad that he did that to you but I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles... I'll try to grin and bear it though, offer a friendly voice to anyone in Chernarus. Even if I might not get one back...

The axe has been an intresting experiance for me. At first I thought it was a broken peice of crap only useful for campfires. But after I played with a bit (Considering it was the only weapon I could find for a while) I found it was fun and brought an intresting edge to the game. As afore mentioned, the hitboxes can be wonky at times is an issue, but one that can and i'm sure is being fixed or at least smoothed out. So yeah, I really do want to play around with the axe more and just keep a pistol on me for range if I need it.

Hey there, I've been introduced to DayZ for a bit and still getting the swing of things. (just about an hour or so of gameplay) I'm learning quick, but was wondering if anyone might be interested in surviving with me? I'm hoping to use Skype voice communication to talk in-game, I also have Teamspeak as well. Just reply down below with your Steam/Skype name; Timezone; and general time that you play. My information: Pacific Timezone (GMT +5 I believe) Can play most hours of the day, evenings work better though.(Noon onwards Steam: Foogals Skype: Gruntman01 I'm not actually using steam to run ARMA so it won't show me playing it, just an FYI Thanks and have fun. :)

Yeah sure, just add me on Skype. The name is above ^
