Daddy'o (DayZ)

Have been trying this on several occasions on the past week and never worked for me.

2 Shot kill on the body. I like a challenge. Less magnification, less stopping power. I'm not one of those pansies with as50 or m107 that need that 1 shot 1 kill and high magnification and zoom in order to get kills.

Fun. The best reason there is.

Long answer: I have a ghillie, rangefinder, nvgs, svd camo, m16 with acog, ammo for both, m9 sd 5 clips, 5 bandages, antibiotics, blood, morphine, painkillers, coyote bag, I have a camp with additional m4 sd, lmgs, svds and other assault rifles. I got all the tools as well as water canteens. I can basically survive infinitely if I wanted with nothing left to strive for. I've had big camps, small camps, clan camps, vehicles, at one point I had 8 vehicles stashed INSIDE the map. I've raided camps, I've scoured the map left right up n down more times than a small clan of people put together. Short answer: Because there's nothing else to do.

All of my wat.

Let me guess, you've never ever once used a loot map, or an external map, you've never used the shift-click option on your in-game map to set a waypoint, you've not used nor searched any of the online tools such as dayz wiki to find vehicle spawn locations, or information that would benefit you within the game, you have not asked people outside of the in-game world to team up such as in real life or on the forums, you have never server hopped under circumstances that would benefit you in-game nor have you ever emptied a single loot pile with the intentions of finding more loot there in few minutes, you have not and will not use external means of communication to coordinate, like steam chat, in-game chat, skype, TS or ventrilo, you are the non-hypocritical purist player that lives for the immersion, right? Because none of that would really be realistic, would it?

Read between the lines. He's saying that there's not much fun to be had in the peoples tendency to hoard stuff and being greedy. The less you have, and the less in value, the more fun you're having. It's a statement to not get attached to your gear and to stop being greedy because there's nothing to be gained at the end of that route.

Been living off my backpack for weeks :) That and someone else's tent :D Think your sharingan wasn't working good enough.

I'm sorry but why would rocket care what you think is unacceptable or that you pay for a server? He doesn't get the money you pay for a server. To him it matters nothing if you stop paying for a server and leave. If YOU WANT to rent a server and host DayZ on it, that's your privilege, not your right. His mod, his hive, his rules. Stop demanding something when you have absolutely no grounds what so ever to demand anything. EDIT: Just wanted to add that I do recognize the issue, however. It would be nice if a solution could be found. I don't even disagree with the server locking thing. The wording just irks me.

Yea, battleye won't. But rockets DayZ hive has surveillance for hacked items and suspicious item changes. How much and how obvious you have to be get a database ban I don't know, but they're definitely there. EDIT: That's why the hackers use the hack that replaces peoples gear with all of the best items, nvgs, coyote bags, range finders, weapons etc... to hide themselves and mess around with the hive foul-play detection.

Military clothing is totally different from camo clothing. Military suit even has the pot helmet, and the wiki and dayz database aren't 100% accurate. I heard it's a rare spawn.

Wander around the edges of the map. Spot the map for level areas, like tops of hills, valleys, anywhere that looks level and looks like you can hide something behind it. I find several camps per day just by going from A to B. They're not in the plain sight, but the moment you set in to the woods and take a look at the map for a possible camp site, that's what there'll be.

I have one of these on both my chars and traded away one today. I seriously can't understand why anyone would prefer an svd over pretty much anything else. Well maybe it's still better than the CZ 550, but otherwise the M107 and AS50 are both way better, while DMR and M24 are both clearly better. Also don't get why people disrespect the M24 when it's clearly a superior sniper rifle compared to the DMR.

I'll trade you an SVD camo for a range finder, but the trade will be made on my terms. If you agree to this, then we can trade.

if you guys have a group setting up I'd be happy to join in. My steam nick is Robopon :)

I'm sorry to tell you man, but that thing you picked up is basically tin cans with NV scope. Trash. Drop it somewhere and pick anything else to replace it. It's hella loud night time-only weapon, and no one plays the night.

Database is supposed to remove all tents and vehicles out of bounds after a short while of not being activated.

Wait a minute, what is this about enjoying and playing a game? First I've heard about it. I'm here to help Rocket test his alpha zombie apocalypse simulation mod.

I found your problem OP. I noticed you were using a lot of the word "game". You've been misinformed, DayZ is not a game. It's a zombie apocalypse simulator. Sure broken bones might wear off in a game, but not in a simulation. Sure games can have grouping systems that help you meet up and start together, but not in a survival simulation. Not only is it a simulation, it's also a simulation that is in it's alpha stage, lacking several pre-finished features and contains loads of bugs and glitches.

Both of you go to start menu, type in regedit. Launch regedit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Wow6432Node / Bohemia Interactive Studio / ArmA 2 OA On the right side of the window click the file that says KEY. Do both of you have the same key? Also, do not post the key here, it's what identifies your character. If you give it away anyone can play your character. I presume somehow both of you have the same key, you both didn't happen to use the same game copy for install did ya?

Well alright. Lets agree to disagree. Man I wish my portal 2 would DL already!

Will only call other players to shoot you within 3 km radius. Won't stop people from wanting to get that 75%, because it's a 75% chance to get something they don't already have. Also won't stop people from shooting you for fun. Most people already play with friends, real life or otherwise. Won't stop them from shooting everyone else on sight. But could, technically, work for 2 strangers as well as long as neither have other mates playing. What is there to stop people from logging out, slave collar or not when a player approaches with a weapon or intend to put a collar on you if you are unarmed? None of this fixes the problem that the only end-game content is to kill players solo or with your buddies. You can use your buddies to get any team content you need such what you suggested, and any slaves you take will most likely just log off, so you just end up shooting people for shits n giggles till you're bored to death.

Yes they do, I agree that there is nothing else to do than shoot other people, that was my point. But since my question is somehow irrelevant, could you tell me what do you suggest should be done to the game if you don't want it to be made friendly? You say the fun should be at figuring out who you can trust in a world gone to hell. Well isn't that exactly how the game is now? You can approach a person, and try to figure if you can trust him. How do you do that without turning the game friendly? How would you change the current mechanics that it worked better? Nothing's stopping you from approaching a player now and try to figure if he's friendly or not. There are people who don't shoot on sight, I actually made my entire group of mates in-game like that. But truth be told, most people will just shoot you for your gear. Why? Because they want better gear. They don't NEED YOU for anything. Surviving alone is easy, and getting gear in a group takes way longer than just shooting you and taking your gear. My entire point is, that killing for gear is efficient, you don't need a team much for anything, and when you have gear killing is the only thing left to do. I'm not saying the game should be made friendly like you assume, but if people themselves acted friendly from their own free will, there would be nothing much else to do than shoot zombies, and that won't be fun for very long.

I think the Walking Dead pictures that out pretty well. People will band together in to groups in order to survive and form ties. These groups meeting each other will act hostile, usually not because they want their shit but because of the diminishing resources around them.

Hacked.
