Ugh, this pretentious nonsense again. No one gives a shit if you think a legitimate in game mechanic is an "exploit," you play the game how you like and stop acting as though it is more pure than other legitimate players. I do not like nameplates so I often do not play on servers that have them, if you do not like third person keep that shit to yourself and play on servers where it is disabled. If you are not purposefully duping (I have accidentally duped gear before, never try to do it) or hacking then you are playing the game legit, end of story. I can see a very short gear timer that made it next to impossible for the person who died to retrieve the gear, but the person who killed you should definitely have a chance to grab that loot. Edit: I know it is incredibly off topic.

Looking forward to the patch. For the others it is essentially what you have been told your whole life, have some patience, good things come to those who wait, and calm the fuck down you are bugging the shit out of me. Understand things like time constraint and the fact that the answer you got could have been found out using basic common sense. This is how a normal person views a situation. Man this patch sucks but I understand they started working on the standalone while also being at multiple game conventions. Hopefully they patch it soon after it settles down. This how someone who lacks patience acts. Oh my God no patch in three weeks, what is wrong with the devs are they just cashing in and partying while we set up vehicles that will soon be gone. I mean three weeks, this is getting ridiculous and why have these busy people not made touch with the community (do you guys expect an update everyday where Rocket and devs say working hard but no date as of now, hope this helps guys). I will now rage on how Rocket is a sell out and the standalone will be just as broken. I will never play again or I will become a hacker and mess with your broken game, that will teach you to provide an innovative and popular mod to the gaming community (because we have so many). .

You are still a fucking douche, they killed you legit and since you suck at games you turned around and cheated. Not going to rage too much on you because this thread is you admitting you are too big of a pussy to actually play a game like this.

Noticed that too, lots of people do not understand physics apparently. Unless the recoil shot you across the room flying then the hit will not send people flying. As far as the damage a .50 cal does, yea you are pretty much dead or completely incapacitated unless they hit you in the foot (even then you will not get that foot back).

People reported use of a hacked weapon? Have these people played Dayz lately or are they just extra mad today, come on guys we are all aware of how much suspect crap is floating around and at this point I am over my white knight ways and have just accepted the current state of the mod. Try it out sometimes, it is far more relaxing than getting mad at a situation that will take time to fix. Try not to script (well do more than try there, scripters are terrible people who should be punched in the face everytime they murder someone with cheapness) or dupe, but when you find a duper camp just take some gear and keep your outrage under check. At this point it will require more than some of the community following rules that are broken by the vast majority. Only way to fix the weapon and gear flood is to wipe all gear and tents (thanks to glitch no vehicle wipe is needed), other than that get used to seeing tons of "very rare" gear on every player. None of this is a whine either, it is a mod and is still a new mod at that.

That is the go to excuse for the butthurt these days, but you do have a hacked weapon on you although so do a ton of other people who have never scripted a day in their lives. I do not call hacking unless someone teleports or has God mode on, otherwise there is no way of telling if that guy is a duper, a hacker, or just a high level player. I have an AS50, M107, M9 silenced, and MK mod and not a single one was duped by my group. We killed people and found tents (and they were probably duped), but we did not hack or dupe for any of our gear but people still assume we have since they see five guys running with every piece of high level gear. Can't believe I am defending a new spawn sniper, but I get it at this point since there is not much to do with the vehicle and tent bugs.

Only part of the whine that is legitimate is the lack of communication, and even then most would still rage about one issue or another. Making a game and fixing bugs, glitches, exploits, and hacking is never an easy process and so far it has only been about three weeks since a patch was released for this free mod. Maybe some better communication could help alleviate this whine threads, but I seriously doubt it would calm most of the people who are too dense to understand what a mod/alpha means for a small development team.

The shots from these weapons require skill, my group found over six sniper rifles yesterday, two .50 cals at a heli, an M107 at the NWAF, and three DMR in some tents. I am not really a sniper due to lacking patience and not really liking the idea of camping, but I went out and tried anyways with the M107 and found it is not as easy as it looks. I was trying to hit someone on a bike and barely missed my first shot, then my range got messed up and kept missing. I missed the next survivor as well with a shot but my buddy took him down, it was not until the third target that I actually brought someone down. Sure most never knew where I was shooting from and none of the players looked very geared up, but it still took some skill, patience, and risk to shoot these players. Sucks to be them but we have all been sniped before.

Yea the second save might have messed it up, google the server name with dayz or else you will get flight information and you will find a link for server restarts.

No and yes.

Type the server name into Google and it will show you the restarts, but it sounds like the server restart bug unless you did not hide the vehicle and tent. That tent trick has worked for me quite a few times so I am surprised it did not replenish all of the gear that you saved (hopefully only that first time though).

If you use Dayz Commander they show up differently and when you mouse over the name of the server it will say it is not connected to the hive, if you are using play with six (well first uninstall that and download Dayz Commander) I am not sure. Private servers are not connected to the hive so anything you do will only be saved on that server and you will have to respawn fresh when you start (only on the private hive, your progress will still be there on the public servers). People will claim they are hacker free but they are wrong, the only difference is admins are allowed to ban for any reason so suspected hackers can be banned without any fuss.

Everyone else is lying the gun is completely legit, you find it from a bond villain that you find in the North and you should run around Cherno shooting people with it and bragging over direct chat that you found the one Golden AK on the map. It also entitles you to a trip to meet the developers and gives you free games for life, just make sure you do not die because the prizes will be claimed by the victor.

From the interviews I have read it will be locked down to begin with to combat scripting and other problems. The hope is to allow the game to be modded since it was born from a mod, but I am fine with the initial restriction if it actually cuts down on the skiddies.

No patch for three weeks and you act like it is the end of the mod as you know it, take your head out of your ass and look at what has been going on during that time period. They announced and started working on a stand alone, went to a huge game convention to market their upcoming product, and have a small team to begin with. They have not broken a promise to you moron, they have just not made the mod the priority at this point which everyone with a functioning brain should expect. To your stupid point about someone having a case for fraud, I am sorry is the actual game your purchased Arma2 or Operation Arrowhead giving your problems? No you say, you are talking about the free mod that you downloaded, well then you can kindly go fuck yourself.

As I edited I realized the reply was dickish, but we are complaining about a three week absence after they started working on the stand alone. I would love some updates to the mod (I would also love to have sex with a different super model everyday but common sense dictates that will not happen), but I also realize that certain issues are broken until the stand alone such as hackers and most likely duping. It is a problem of limited resources and I have to say that I am perfectly fine with the company and Rocket devoting those limited resources to releasing a polished stand alone game. At the end of the day it is still a free mod regardless of whether you bought it specifically for Dayz or not, so any updates or fixes should be appreciated and lack of patches during a hectic time should at least be understood. You guys expect the World for nothing in return, show some patience. This is why most game companies do not allow public testing of an unfinished product, it leads to people getting angry because the game breaks or has huge glitches. For those looking for a finished product I would advise to wait until stand alone, but if you are willing to have fun playing a broken mod that might not be fixed quickly, then by all means join the party.

Yea, they should drop everything to focus on fixing a mod that might break Arma2, you know the actual game you purchased to play the free mod, instead of trying to make a polished version for release. Some of the forum moderators are dicks, but it is often in response to some whiny child expecting the world of a testing alpha that needs a separate platform to be fixed (you know what they are hopefully working on right now). You answer the same whiny question thirty times a day and tell me you will not get a little frustrated by the endless amount of people whining about an unfinished product. It is not like they told you the alpha was the finished project, so people should just be happy they can play anything. I actually think this is exhibit A in any case for not allowing public Alpha testing because the people playing the unfinished product seem to think it should work all the time. I read the post you are referencing and it was about a 120 pages of people whining about their tents, whining about vehicles, saying they were over it, or complaining about the lack of patches to fix the problem. Not only does the community get the problems, so do the developers who are working to fix the problems for a stand alone. So stop playing until the stand alone comes out and if you are that worried wait for a few weeks and see if problems are resolved. But for the love of God stop coming on the forums to bitch about the same topic for weeks on end (oh I could not see in the airfield and was too lazy to just log or try one of the many other fixes).

My group put a tent down next to the vehicle spawn (of course in the tree line) and put all parts in the tent and saved it only once. When the server restarts all the parts should still be there as long as you only saved the tent once and you can then fix the car, this should continue on every server restart. Might as well use a bug to fix a bug and I have given up caring about playing 100% legit since the game is broken on this patch.

That is quite surprising that you have never been forced into a PVP kill. I rarely look for other players but I have had three server hoppers in the NWAF (who apparently are unaware that hoping into the building will not populate gear) who had me trapped. It was either blast away, die, or the worst option of being a combat logging girl. I think I made the right decision to kill them on sight, especially considering they were server hoping which means they are cheap and stupid.

Good for them, I also bought the game for the free mod. The logic is not pointless, only an IDIOT would assume that a free mod that was this popular would not get a separate stand alone version. Sorry if you were that idiot, but developers do not have to apologize for people lacking common sense. So every one spent 15 to 30 bucks to play a mod, cry me a river. The mod will still be there for those too cheap or butthurt to actually buy the game developed by the creator, so problem solved. It is like fans of this game have no idea how capitalism works, there is a demand for this type of game so naturally the developers and creator wanted to tap that market and make money. As soon as you develop a big hit mod that ties up all your time trying to please whiny users you can make the decision to keep donating all of the effort required to fix a free mod, until that day learn how capitalism works so you do not have this failure in logic in the future (I know kind of dickish, but still).

Just looted a helicopter crab site turn around and see a guy 20 meters away with a double barrel. Once he sees that I see him he yells im friendly over direct chat as I shoot him 3 times with my newly squired fal. Still think he was trying to get close for the kill but felt bad anyways, scared the shit out of me.

Rocket made the free mod in his spare time, the fact that you paid for Arma2 sounds like your problem not his. Sure he got paid for the concept he created that took off, but the company and Rocket would have to be morons to continue giving the mod away for free. The mod is free and I did buy the game to play a free mod knowing that it would probably get a standalone version, stop crying about reality and things anyone with a working brain could see coming.

Really, tell that to all the idiots who think sniping is easy and constantly miss. Maybe running around Cherno is like that, but everywhere else it takes patience and position. Try to take out a well organized group and tell me PVP is simple in this game. The only thing that is "simple" is fighting zombies after having more than a days experience on the game.

Somewhat, I am not a strictly PVP player and I would love to see more player interaction, but as the game stands now I understand the KOS mentality. I will give you props though, I saw a post of yours where you discussed a player in Stary killing a member of your group and you guys let him walk away, that took some restraint. Hopefully the standalone balances the PVP and PVE, but we will always encounter those who focus more on PVP and those who are content with zombie kills.

My group actually prefers to not go player hunting except on certain occasions, but the current vehicle problems make fixing vehicles a pain and somewhat of a waste of time. With the duping problem breaking the balance it is not hard to gear up, and if you are like my group you made a camp that is now replicating itself (on accident we did not purposefully dupe gear) making high level loot runs somewhat of a waste. We fixed up a total of 9 cars this weekend and lost two to restarts and three to crashes, but we still have two offroad trucks, a hatchback, and a van but I expect all to be gone on server restart. So my question is what is left to do, kill zombies?
