    300+ Hours of DayZ

    Burn Baby burn!

    Why the hell are there so many guns?

    Dupeing, hacking and Hopping Servers no doubt.
  4. How would a player see I'm not a bandit? Fresh spawns can be bandits! Bandits are a main focus on the MOD, some players need to read the main page on Dayzmod.com (Step2) Fighting back is Part of the learning process IMO. If you want to feel special and hardcore in a game, buy a t shirt. no, seriously, the minute you add special features for a certain play style you make the Mod mainstream, would you like doctors clothing for medics? perhaps a red stick of dynamite for engineers?, and the tension of meeting players is a huge part of the MOD. You know he feeling "Oh shit" Some things do not need to be added to the MOD, or you'll turn it into a clone of something else. DayZ is unique, let it stay that way. No offence meant.
  5. I want to be a survivor, what benefits do I get? trust is earned even in game, You don't willy nilly with new players without watching your back.
  6. Your new to the game? You'll find them annoying compared to other features of the game, try running in and out of buildings as they walk allowing easier kills or losing them up steep hills. In 1 week you'll be more worried about hackers and Bandits. here are lots of bandages in game, where are you looking? they are working on Zed movenment all the time.

    I died 3 times today!!!

    It is, I find it better than Killing Innocents. and It is a lot harder. Nice to meet a fellow Humanitarian.

    so, hacking is here to stay apparently

    I for one find it facinating the phennomenon DayZ is, No other game I know of has had the effect this MOD has. I hope something can be taken from it to improve the situation for future releases. BE replied to a message from a fellow poster, who was kind enough to share. Something is going to happen by the sound of it and they insist something is being done. I won't be expecting a standalone anytime soon either, there are too many issues with the current MOD, and I dare not hazzard a guess the damage this will do. It would make sense for Rocket to cease support for this MOD, if they are even seriously planning a standalone, I rememeber a mention of September. Sorry very muchly but in this time we have been informed of Dogs, Underground base building and a fix for Graphical glitches, September is not far away, your Dev team must be locked away in a bunker 24/7 inorder to deliver this. Mix this with the Military contract bidding, It aint happening soon, one line of code change can take a month to repair. (I understand not everything was promised in stone nor in Sept') (Last I heard Dogs could not run uphills, this will take ages to fix / create) I don't play Lingor but I watch a load of videos for it, I havent seen one fence / soldier glitch, I would play this but with no official support I aint risking a "bad day" because I am on the verge of dropping this wonderful MOD. But unlike so many I would be dropping it because atm I am Bored of Chernaurus, not hackers, not glitches, just Bored of the map. and for Dogs??? why? I could not see the point of Dogs in this format (Look at videos / reports of hackers with dogs), something more usefull would be radios' this would add a greater element to the MOD. I for one LOVE this MOD, it is the first game in years i can genuinely enjoy. I hope "very soon" is going to happen bacause people are leaving the MOD in droves or in anticipation for WarZ or Hacking, it would be a shame to lose your fanbase because of promises not delivered on time. What we know: BE working on Hacking issue. Rocket and co working on DayZ, Dogs, graphical glitching, current updates, Standalone. BI working to bid on new contract, Inroducing required points stated in requirements from Military needs, New ARMA 3 (that won't include the military req's). Promotion of Arma 3. Patches. It is going to be a long wait, and all I can offer is understanding.

    What Has Changed The Dayz Player Mentality

    Could you get anymore offensive?
  13. Michaelvoodoo25

    Rocket: Anything you need to tell us?

    It won't surprise me if DayZ goes dead until final release. Dev team will want to close test it.
  14. Michaelvoodoo25

    Dead Villages?

    Hills and buildings are your friends when Zeds chase, lose LOS (line of sight) and your O.K. up steep hills they will walk slower. do a zig zag maneuver up hills and you'll lose them. Go and find a map online and study the areas and buildings, if you know what to look for you'll have a weapon real quick. I did a lot of reading and looking stuff up when I started, watching Youtube vid's is great for tips and tricks. Asking for info can dull the game sometimes, I found it more fun to run around and get my own bearings (You wouldn't believe my joy when i found an in game map for the first time)

    Lingor Island Chit Chat.

    Cheers, I know how to install it (3 minute version) what I meant was until the Hacking, Fencing and other issues are sorted I don't want anything to put me off DayZ because it really is beginning to piss me off. There is nothing worse than starting a new relationship when there is baggage. I know the Respawn is Kinda working in it also, which is a bit Unfair for re-spawn point's The hackers are gonna have a field day On Lingor, hopefully it will take some of them away from Chernaurus.

    Curiousity from a fellow DayZ player

    His scripts create a crate, full of weapons, He leaves it there for others, Other players find it and take a custom weapon not on the allowed list. Players get banned. (A possible scenario) New players are given stuff they would not have if they played game properly and are given a huge advantage. (Rendering the point of the game pointless) Cheating is cheating, I am astounded!

    Dead Villages?

    Go further inland, some of the coastal villages don't spawn much and there's about 2 enterable buildings in most. Get familiar with the building types and you'll be collecting stuff pretty quickly.

    How to best destroy an enemy camp

    It's a bit hit and miss, some servers respawn them each time and some don't, I drove over some like you and they never came back (I played said server each day, they must have moved tents?!) Grenades have helped me wipe a few out at once, and I've seen other videos shooting them. As I don't use tents I cannot give you an answer to restarting.
  19. You sure it wasn't a hacker with his posse of Bots?
  20. I've only seen Santa tower, what more is there?
  21. I find post's like this offensive to my intelligence, Games are only as dull as the players imagination. Point 1. There are a load of playing styles, it isn't about collecting stuff, snipers, bandits, camp destroyers,hatchet killers. medics, pains in the arses. murderers. logistics, traders. Co-operation is down to the players not Rocket. Point 2. This is about losing kit again. Anything with the popularity of DayZ will attract the hackers, You remember it's alpha, this can be exploited and abused. I have never found a hacker in game (perhaps it is due to low player servers i am on?) I go around looting and depleting other players camps, I am no hacker. If you leave your camps and vehicles in out of place areas, I will look for it every time i play, the only way I wont loot it is if You guard it all around the clock. I do like the sound of private servers where me and my friends can play in a secure place free from Hackers, it is the apocalypse I'm here to play not I've got more than you. Point 3. I do believe admin need more control over servers, but being an admin is also being abused by some. I have been kicked because I stole a vehicle of an admin member. That's not the reason for being an admin is it? Yes mistakes happen because info is hard to prove. I do not know much about hosting servers but come on this is Alpha these things happen, I believe its down to the community to do something about it and raising it is the first hurdle. Point 4. I play solo, if i consider a situation as a threat I get out of there, if the players tell me they are friendly I watch them closely and play along with them, you can tell a sincere player after 10 mins. I'm a part time medic and judge players on my encounters with them. After patching up a player I have never been shot at by them or felt threatened by them. I have been shot by snipers and that is fine, it's their playing preference. I can stand over a town and offer support via sniping to new players with no kit. each to his own. There are clans out there they recruit all the time there is plenty of co-op going on, some players don't want to play that way. Point 5. This is about kit again, I never owned a tent, but I have destroyed many even if I know it may or may not re-spawn later. Every player starts off with a few items and then they take it about themselves to find all the goodies they want. If you didn't build camp sites then you wouldn't be able to duplicate stuff on a faster scale. I have all my kit from you campers, cheers you made it possible. I believe Rocket and Co are working on this issue, so patience is a must. I have never owned N.V.G, rangefinder, as50, any S.D weapon, Mountain Dew, big Coyote backpack or satchel explosives But I search every tent I come across because it's easier than finding them the good old fasioned way. It all boils down to how you play the Mod and I believe you understand it is in Alpha and this is where many players forget it isn't a finished product, there will be issues after each update until it is finally sorted. Just grin and bare it, you make the game what it is. All those who are taking a break, come back and play the game you love, because you will miss it and if you don't, fine it is not for you, but the community is moving ahead Look at Lingor, more to play and explore. (Whether Rocket allows this or not it is making His baby more fun and enjoyable) My 2p

    5 loaded tent locations

    Hoarding players, You build your stock pile, you should be prepared to lose your stuff. 1st rule of DayZ club, never get attached to your kit. 2nd rule of DayZ club, Bring plenty of popcorn.

    1 makarov shot brings down a helicopter...

    Aw this thread! I wondered what happened. Green mountain stories.
  24. Michaelvoodoo25

    Some $@^$*!! has been in me tent!

    I usually take all the stuff and drop it under trees, then flatten the tents and walk away with a new kit set up each time. Serves the camping hoarders right.
