Ha, I love this thread, I'm nearly the same way now. I played on less populated servers until that became easy, no murders, no pvp deaths. Once i got my DayZ wings, I began playing on 45+ servers, like Dallas 44, which is an awesome server! PvP is nuts there. So, being the noob I was, I'm running along with a hatchet and a makarov, and a guy is running from zeds on the outskirts of elektro, so, being the good christian man that I am...sometimes...I lend an assist. Pick off his zombie problem and caps out a conversation. We take cover, and I give the guy my Makarov, and equip my mad hatchet, and begin to head the other way. I really didnt want to team up. The guy shot me in the back of the head. With my makarov. burnt. lesson learned. I still lend a hand, but, i dont remove my sightpost from players. For the record, I now run with a team of about 12, weve all met on dayz except 3 of us from the real world, and we do very well togethor. Not everyone is a threat...all the time.

What capture software are you using, that was clean footage. If you don't mind, or anyone for that matter, hit me with some suggestions in my inbox. I'm torn on which one to pick. I'm running a heavy pc. 6100 hex core and 16g ddr3 gskill sniper ram Asus m990x motherboard 560ti oc. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!

Way to take to Em, bro.

Combat disco is for pussies. Sucks your stuff got hack jacked, but you can't really complain if you abuse the system too. I hope someone finds all these videos, and bans everyone who combat logs and hacks. You can hate me if you want to, but you know I'm right. Haters gonna hate...Ching Ching. I will miss smoking loggers though, I love it when they disco, wait ten, and come back in behind where they think I am. With all their sweet gear and weapons, I still smoke them with a m1017 slug. Children shouldn't play adult games.

I can't believe this is still an issue. What happened to the quick patch? That was stated in may.

To look for a fight...that's all I ever get If I go to Cherno or elektro...

Lost my nod (nvg's) whilst swimming after a boat off the coast of Nizhi. lost to the ocean gods. Complete bullshit by the way. Soldiers dont let gear fall out of their bags, and these guys dont spawn dressed as golfers, if you know what i mean. Lost my Bino's. Lost My M16a2 with 5mags Lost my medical supplies and my alice pack with food and drink in it for days. Managed to hold onto my pdw, secondary mags, and toolbelt gear. So, i used to be well geared. I now have an: FN FAL with basic combat load. PDW with G17 and MP5 mags Binos A.L.I.C.E. pack NO NOD! ARRRR Med supplies and food for days. Camp is set up with 7 tents with multiple weapons, vehicles, medical supplies, and food. and believe it or not, I am not a bandit. I just choose not to die. haters gonna hate...ching ching.

Hilarious! I love this game!

You'll def need to update your six launcher to get day z version 1.7.2.3 Also, you'll need to go to google and find the newest arma beta patch. You can dl it and it will auto hook into your game for you after you install it...fairly simple. after yesterdays update, i had trouble logging into most servers with the new beta, so i reverted back to an older patch that most servers are compatible with. 94876 i think. Just look around the forums for that. But, yeah, thats what you need. Hope all is well from the fire. I love colorado! Beautiful. 4th Infantry division here, Ft Carson, CO.

Tip: You can place tents by walking with your gear menu open, and spamming pitch tent. Seen that on youtube. Works for me every time. Good luck!

Ended up just staying with old patch and new six version. now im in most all servers. i dunno. Good luck!

++Update++ Went to launch the patch and got a wrong cd key error. any ideas? It says it installs afterwards, though. But when i launch, i cant join servers... Open for suggestions.

Hey, just took the patch, had to listen to a friend. DL firefox if you dont already use it and spam the link with your lmb. that worked for me. my friend had to open the link in a new tab. that worked for him. for some reason, iexplore and chrome ask for ftp server perms. and firefox doesnt. So yeah.,l the download should be something like 8-9 mb in a zip. Good luck!

Yeah, im a fan of the wire. Don't remove it, Dont do anything to it. Whoever said finding a toolbox has a point, if there is a cumbersome set of wire, just take it down. Toolboxes are fairly easy to find. All 12 of my teamates have one, and we refuse to server hop...So, weve had to find replacements along the way. Check industrial buildings. That being said, wire fencing as it is called in game, (looks a lot like concertina wire to me) is intensely damaging to personnel, and vehicles realistically. Its razor wire, not barb wire. Why can I drive right through it, and flatten it like a tent, and why can I vault over it. When conceretina wire is driven through, it wraps around a vehicle, and shreds the tires, it has the potential to disable tracked vehicles if spaced properly and emplaced correctly. It also has the ability to become a pull behind mess of razor wire capable of ensnaring personnell as it passes them. So why does a GAZ roll right over it. Army doctrine used to state that in order to cross a roll of concertina wire, a plank must be used to throw down on top of it, compressing the wire, in order for troops to cross. same for fenced wire. This could be an AWESOME mechanic to put in game. Maybe Arma 3 could see some good uses of concertina wire. I'd throw a vote for changing these mechanics.

lol! Nice!

Day Z is near zombie survival simulation. What's stopping it from being there? (aside from the random bug or glitch?) combat logging, or leaving the game to avoid a fight, or avoid a pack of zombs on your tail. I'm looking for real suggestions to fix this issue. I will start by saying penalize loggers. If a person logs out and back in to any server in a matter of let's say, 1-10 minutes, they should remain unconscious for a period of time. The only issue I can see is if someone is being kicked because of battle eye ping. That should also go. There isn't any reason for a ping limiter. Ping is often all over the charts. This feature restricts many people from being able to play. In closing. I think combat loggers could be dealt with using this method. Then, if you combat log, you will be a sitting duck...like you should be for being a douchebag. Peace!

Fortunately, for those of you who can't read, namely, syneregy, and thorgold, I can clear this up for you. This is a discussion to ellicit ideas from the dayz community about combat logging. This is not a bitch fest about combat logging. So go fuck yourself. Fucking Troll. Apparantly you havent been hit in the mouth recently thorgold. You, sir are full of sarcasm and other bullshit I find in weak people. Note, location=vagina. Anything else? Good point on this timed dc issue. Does seem a bit buggy to try anything like that now. Everyone i talk to comes up with the same thing. Surely there could be other punishments, or preventions. Hence the thread...douchebag.

Kyle, You bring a very valid point. Good thinking. Unfortunately, it seems to be a catch 22. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the dayzdev team's office. Thanks for the input.

This forum has a couple of fixes listed...namely, making sure, if youve taken todays update from six launcher on or after 1201pm gmt-6, then you must find a server that is compatible with.2. Or you could do as some others have done, to play on servers without this update, you can dload a previous version, and replace the file in the folder. good luck!

Hi There! Same issue here. flashing black to visibility. can access gear and whatnot. Ill check out your link. Thanks for the tip!

Confirming bug. 250 m from a tree stand, standing with binos out and boom...zed in my face. Strangely though, the other two didn't run at me, even after I laid out zed one with a 1911. also, along these lines, zombies near outbuildings are popping up 6-7 at a time. This is frustrating for a man who plans every assault on every building only to have to change tactics midway through the rush because of purpose spawning. This needs to be dealt with. It seems to be making its way to game breaker status. Good luck devs!

Good luck!

Remember when people used to play games to have fun?

Good ideas. Honestly, I like things the way they are though. If only combat logging could be stopped...server hopping for loot. Each server should be a standalone server. Hopefully when we see the beta we can do something like that. I hate having to wait for a weak bandit to come back into the game ten minutes later after I've laid two in his chest with my 1911...if you start something, bandits, have the balls to finish it. Also, it would be really nice to know who killed who. Would make hunting that person a little easier.

It wasn't a funny story, was it...
