Greedo didn't shoot first, han solo did. Owned.

Alot of times if I do it right, they don't even have time to alt + f4 because I am unseen. It's just bad when whole groups of people see one guy go down, then they dont just alt f4 and go somewhere else, they try and sneak around you and rejoin the server. Some suggestions have been made as to how to fix it but at the end of the day people can always just unplug the internet cable from their computer just like it's always been and there would need to be a measure against that as well. Ive seen people express that a cool down timer would not work either because 5 - 10 seconds is too short for them to even be aware the person has logged in a siege situation. So at this point in time I think people will have to just pick their targets carefully and try and sync attacks.

I just want to point out that animals are an npc that provides items valuable to player survival. I think throwing in some random NPC bandits that shoot back inside grocery stores would liven things up a bit. It could also prove to result in funny encounters among players who hear shots.

Yea this has happened to me twice now over the past few days. I spawn where I logged out at, then instantly die and appear in debug area. Log out, log back in and im on the coast somewhere completly wiped. Can we get a hot fix for this?

I found a camp with some vehicles and loaded one down and went to blow the other up. I shot it up with my AS50 a few times wanting to see it go boom and I was kicked from the game for this same "Script error #55". Came back in and it was gone so I assume it blew. Hopefully this helps get down to the cause of this. *Edit* - Yea I just realized the vehicle I shot up was a tractor just like in the video, probably something bugged with vehicle damage or something?

IMHO: Until hackers are gone I don't mind having a backup set in a tent that respawns. Games alpha after all.

I was in the server I believe when this happened, except I was teleported to what seemed like debug forest, whacked, but then magically after a second or two I was standing unequipped of everything except my camo cloths where I logged out at. I logged out logged back in and my guy had all his stuff again and there was a dead body of mine laying at my feet. Got lucky I guess lol.

Honestly, to me it feel's like the less time spent trying to make miracles happen with the arma2 engine and basic coding on stuff, the more time that can be devoted to tackling these same problems when working on the stand alone. It's great that everyone has posted alot of useful information reguarding current bugs, exploits, and problems with the game. TL;DR - I just simply feel that taking the current dayz to beta on the same engine would be too much wasted effort since everyone wants to see the stand alone shine as a bug free monument to pc gaming.

Every server should have kill messages with who your killer is. Not only because it's nice to know who your enemy is, but if you need to report someone for say, killing you in a chopper or invisible with a hatchet.

Basically, if I understand this right, things like grocery stores or anything that has a chance of militaty loot can spawn a knife or matches among other things. You can also find canned food in grocery stores which restore blood when eaten. I for one seem to find many maps, binos, knives, matches but hardly any compass.

LOL. I would totally join those guys.

If it makes ya feel any better, lost a ghillie m107 coyote backpack, nvgs, and fn fal. But, just got two axe murders in cherno... I swear hackers are the only ones that ever kill me in illigitimate ways.

I just randomly died in that server with all my stuff, no one around nothing, sounded like a melee swing what the hell man. Did they just nuke the server?

So, recently it has come to my attention that there is talk of possibly adding underground bases or some sort of player "home" if you will. I think this could be a great idea if done well, here are some things I would consider on the subject: A) Ask yourself do you want players to have a private safe haven to call their own that can be accessed from any incarnation of your character tied to your cd key through maybe a menu button, or something more realistic like maybe a fallout shelter you can lock with a key. I like the idea of a key'd shelter but I encourage everyone to post what they'd like to see as well. Make an item that holds a spair key that looks like a rock or a patch of grass or something and that sounds pretty balanced to me. Players wouldn't want to loose their spair if they have their main key on their character which can die. B) It could be possible to completly outfit your space with things like lockers, astetic items like deer mounts and other clutter items, refridgerators, generators if you want lighting, stuff like that. This could also encourage players to work together more for their common base and impact the random bandit population as wel las provide maybe a type of trade system. Cause I mean, who dosen't want more random cool stuff? C) Should the said base or home be easily obtained say each character has one by default, or should it be something that is completly build from the ground up with say things like scrap metal? And on a completly seperate note; Fortune cookies. Eat em, fill up, get some flavor text in green on the bottom of your screen. "He who carries beans, gets beaned" That would be pretty funny. Sorry if this topic is similar to others I haven't done much digging. But, I encourage everyone to post their thoughts and feelings about things like this, because I know the dev's do read these and the goal of this game is to be player made in the end.

^You have my beans, sir. :)

AH yes, good observation. I dunno, maybe have some kind of junk item like deadbolt assembly. I am against the idea of there just being something without reason.

Lol, are you those guys I just sniped?

I do like this idea. There are many other one could gain perks through playing the game, ill list some. Some are already mentioned just putting em here cause I like them. :) Players transfused - give em a medic perk that has a % chance to save the item upon use Players total broken bone count - give em stronger bones after x amount of bones broken Players total distance ran - better run speed or maybe longer sprinting without heavy breathing after x meters ran Players total low temperature meter - + resistance to cold after x times flashing temp meter maybe Players total shock count - + resistance to shock trauma after x times in shock Players total blood loss - + slow blood regen and no color loss from blood loss after x amount of blood lost over players life Players total zombie kills - zombies are less likely to detect you because you are the scourge of their kind! (this is to say once zombie agro is where it needs to be) or maybe better rewards from zombie bodys after x kills. Players total pain killers used - after x pain killers used to stop shakes player gains x resistance to said status. Fitness- reduced food thrist consumption *make it based off food and drink consumed at flashing count* I think as long as blood or bullet damage resistance isnt altered, everything should remain balanced gun wise, but with perks like these you should perform better in a fire fight or as a group surviving together. I do like the idea of having days survived apply to something awsome that you could gain, I just cant think of what a good thing would be for that without it being to OP.

Well first of all you have to understand that I am a seasoned gamer, specifically since the myg0t clan on cs 1.5. Claims of hacks or names related to hacks 99% of the time are just bullshit trolls who think they are haxors. I had not heard of this axe murder shit until after it had happened and was browsing the forums. I know do not feel safe doing anything in this game, and play accordingly. Either way though, I would have just lost the SVD camo and ghillie to this new update it seems if I had kept it. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I think the saying goes. Also, I was pretty salty the other day but everythings smoothing out again, still a good game just hackers dead set on abusing while they can.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/27736-us92-hackerbot1000-blatant-extreme-hacking/ Read this, did you have a broken bone?

Yeaaa, I logged in earlier and was rerolled. Too bad it was hours after I had lost my SVD camo to a hacker and the rerolled character was trashy.

*COUGH* http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/27736-us92-hackerbot1000-blatant-extreme-hacking/ Apparently you should never let your guard down in this game, someone invisible could come up behind you and axe murder you. Also found about 8 threads similar to this one and mine.

This happened to me a week ago, but it wasn't a big deal I was a noob at the time. Now it's happened twice more today. I had just gotten some deicent stuff again after loosing my svd camo to a hacker last night, here read about it. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=31985 But yea, I guess server side data is being corrupted somehow.
