I love the part where I'm running through the forest, end up upon another survivor.. since I was running I decided to just angle and keep running.. the guy chases me for like 30 minutes and twice shoots at me. Eventually I got fed up and turned around to fight.. he gets me unconcious and teabags me and laughing over his mic. 30 minutes! AMAZING GAME.

No one cares, hackers will be hackers also wrong forum

I'm sick of this community becoming a bunch of carebear pussies who can't take the heat. Go play Eve Online and live out in 0.0 space for a year or so, aquire an arseload of good stuff and have it blown up in an instant by a player with a giant space station sized ship that can 1shot your carrier. Then talk to me about fairness and blowing shit up for no reason. Same shit applies here, they kill you for one of 3 reasons a) They like your tears B) They like your stuff c) You're a threat I'm not sure how many community forums you go to Oddzball but I can confirm all of them are terrible. Forums are forums, just here people are tired of crybabies.

ITT someone complaining it takes too long to respawn after dying in a game where survival is the main objective.

Sorry, password protecting your server is far worse than this supposed hacker problem. I've had one instance of a hacker ever in this game. Ever. People keep crying for the developers to fix hacking, well it won't happen. It's impossible to stop hackers totally, every game up until now has proven that. You CAN NOT stop them, only make it expensive for them. The funniest post was by the OP saying 'If in a month there are more hackers than a month ago I'm totally right and my solution of alienating the community was the correct and right thing to do!" I call bull. You just want to have people pay for your server under the guise of stopping hackers, don't make excuses.

Stop trolling, christ. =/ You keep jumping to conclusions whenever someone gives you a theory which is all they can give.

There are quite a few Day Z twitch streamers with super stacked trucks hidden in the woods in places. When they die, they find the nearest spawn and go back to grab more shit then run back out. They play the game like it's a deathmatch game which is silly and frankly a bit boring IMHO. I like the tense feeling of hunting for stuff every time I respawn, though I can understand the tedium. I'd like to also point out that Totalbiscuit did a 'WTF Is' edition of Day Z. He's WITH Rocket, and OH LOOK they have pistols. It's a public server obviously (which seems to not be the case for the Yogscast admittedly). Potentially, they found the pistols but Rocket stated 'We just spawned on the beach'... and that was WITH Rocket present.

Okay, you're just trolling. How the fuck would anyone here know exactly how the Yogscast got their items? Sure, there is potential for hackage. Or, more realistically there is potential Ridge was just on a super stacked character and has a huge stash since it's his fucking server. Troll harder.

Dude take a pill. Why are you asking a bunch of Day Z players, (people who probably haven't even heard of the Yogscast) how filming for a youtube series works? Ridgedog is a very good friend of the Yogscast and everything done in their videos could be done without hacking in items or somehow using admin cheats. When a professional youtuber makes a video, they typically spend hours and hours outside of what you see even leading up to this point and make several cuts.Ridgedog died repeatedly after he was accidentally shot by Xephos, so it's not like he just up and got items again. He probably has a large stash on his server that he took the items from and brought them to the Yogscast since he was helping them the entire time because they're (self admittedly) a bunch of bumbling idiots. He didn't drive back to them in a 'low amount of time', the Yogscast drove around like dolts for a long time, and there is several cuts during the video where stuff happens and you don't see it. That is just simply how shit is done on youtube. Cut the boring parts and show the action to avoid turning away viewers. The Yogscast got alot of guff for having Ridgedog even along for the ride, people were expecting to see the Yogscast die over and over and never get anywhere (because that is what would have happened until they got a hang of the initial spawn) but then we'd have just saw 30+ minutes of them dying over and over and getting frustrated every episode. If you want to see people die over and over go watch some twitch livestreams or one of the hundreds of other youtubers who do Let's Plays of this game. Screw your automatic assumptions that they cheated to get their items or hacked in vehicles or whatever guff you think. The Yogscast has an entire CREW of people in that server, several of them are probably on voice comms or chatting with the Yogscast telling them what to do next. Think of it has Hollywoodizing Day Z. You might not like it, but it's still funny to watch. If it isn't, then just ignore them and stop obsessing over this.

The people ruining the game are crybabies like the OP who think everything is overpowered and should be nerfed or removed. Man up, kiddo

Hiya, Just started Day Z a few days ago. Today my character seems stuck in freelook and I can only go straight and strafe. Also when I alt-tabbed a few times my gun randomly just starts discharging. =/ Kinda annoying. Any fix or just relog?

Crybabies need to just leave not leave rageposts on the forums about how sad they are.

Hi there, thanks for the info. Also, is there a bug where if you pick up a gun but already have one and try to put it in your pack BOTH dissapear? I lost two guns this way it seems...

There are two towns that're basically deathmatch maps for those who enjoy that guff. Elektro and Cherno. Simply don't go there. The 'experience' of this game is very cutthroat and ruthless... just like how a post-apocalyptic place would be IRL. If you can't handle it, you're more than welcome to play another game.

If I was a bandit, I'd say 'Friendly don't shoot!' only to then shoot you the moment you falter too. I just don't actively hunt down others, but I /will/ shoot to kill if someone gets close enough.

How do you flag a bandit? What governs the rules of who is a bandit and who is a survivor killing in self defence? You can die or get knocked out in one shot, do you wait for them to shoot you first even if they've came up to you and refuse to talk? What about people who exploit the system? Bandits who grief a player into shooting them or whatnot? And when you're a bandit, what's the big penalty about being one other than a skin? Do you broadcast they're a bandit? Put a big sign over their head saying they are? In real life, a murderer could be sitting next to you on the bus and you would never know it. Why sully the game with unrealistic garbage? Sure, give bandits the option of looking like one or some such, just for bragging rights or whatever. Give survivors something neat as well (visually though a survivor is just perfect bait for a bandit if they know they wont' shoot first right?) Go watch the Walking Dead, the part in the last season where the main cast Sherif Rick shoots two people dead even though they only moved funny, their gun was on the table. Is he a bandit now? It's far too grey area to make such a theme. Claiming this game is Quake 3 arena or CoD due to people killing each other is just downright ignorant. If a survivor looked at me and had his gun out and refused to speak I would fire first.

you're not even trying now..

No, things break all the time in alpha tests. Have you ever done an alpha? I've been in several going back to Quake 3 alpha. Devs release a new patch and suddenly you're clipping through the floor every time you're shot... god I remember those days.. xD

I'm not sure the OP understands how an alpha test works. This is obviously a troll as in his first few sentences he accuses Rocket of DELIBERATELY ruining the game to add a feature, which is absurd. People are using the 'It's Alpha' response because it's true. From the OP's attitude, it's obvious he hasn't played an alpha test, let alone an alpha test of a mod made by an independent developer with little to no funding. No, you're so upset and so angry because you probably lost one of your good characters to the newly insane aggro zombies. People have already informed Rocket of this and if you don't have the patience to see through a fix, then you're not welcome here.
