Mr mouse Ill tell you what I've been saying all along When dayz+ first came out with the high zombie damage, I could let a bandit shoot at me, take cover and laugh as zombies tore him apart as the usual tactic of standing there getting hit whole shooting people was no use Most bandits left in minutes spamming side chat with how stupid hard hitting zombies were because they couldn't kill anyone Eventually only the strong groups of bandits remained, the rest of the server helping each other when needed because at some point you would end up having to shoot zombies or they would down you in a couple if hits leaving you crippled meaning you would need aid and teaming up was a safer option If the standalone was more like this it will be a better experience for all Only the strong skilled bandits will survive and the rest if us will be banding together and helping each other And all they did in dayz+ to the zombies was give them brutal damage, they were still easy to lose ect but you couldn't just run in and loot and you couldn't go around Cherno gunning down everyone because you would last a few minutes at best In conclusion I agree with you mr. Mouse We need to be taught the meaning if survival

Well said oldfossil Every action should be a possibility of failing and have consequences The only people who would disagree to being punished for running around shooting at everything that moves are the kind of people who want an easy game where they can do what they like with no consequences Friendly or not, it's meant to be about survival and being punished for making a mistake It never was meant to be death match with food, if you took away the zombies the game wouldn't be any harder I can't remember the last time a zombie killed me on any other mode than 2017 or dayz+ If they can't kill you what's the point in them?

Clearly some of you haven't played dayz+ for more than 10 mins, because of the insane zombie damage resulting in death after 7-8hits and possible knockout after 2 hits 50% of players were willing to help each other and team up which is far better than the 1% in other dayz modes And before you say dayz is nothing without pvp, I agree, but the game is far better with an equal balance For a solo player, most players needed others in dayz+ because zombies were a real threat when you were alone One mistake could end you easily, there were still bandits but only the best ones All the noob bandits found it too hard which brings me to another point, it's a survival mod and your counter arguments to some of these posts from bandits are saying not to make zombies harder, obviously you only play on start with as50 servers and 90 million plus verchiles Man up and accept it, this isn't meant to be a walk in the park, standalone is gonna be hard, eiether accept it and adapt or die and start some " too hard to snipe bambis coz zombis r 2 hard" threads when the standalone comes out This game needs to be brutal, every playstyle punished and every moment spent scared to death that one wrong move will bring down a horde that will tear you apart in seconds or draw another player nearby Easy zombies make it easy for bandits and hard for others Harder zombies make it harder for all players, just by making zombies more powerful wont make the game boring, pvp will be there but only the strong can survive You just like to get easy kills, any challenge to that routine turns you off the game

Exactly If your going to try and ambush someone at least make it convincing Besides 10k metres is around the same distance from the coast to nwaf It's hardly an epicly impossible journey

This is a gathering of some of the more imaginative hackers that ive come across as well as some other weird moments

Thanks! :) I corrected it lol

I guess it's always possible someone hacked in a sight on it or something if that's even possible but the admins inventory check showed the guy had an Enfield and didn't pick up anything to suggest he had any firm of aim bot or other hack

Some servers have custom a scripts I think, that tell you who killed you etc Still it was an amazing shot, I'd hate to see that guy with an as50

I played it because the zombies did more damage and encouraged more friendly players to go there But I had the problem where I spent ages getting t a hero skin by helping people on servers with a regular amount of players reaching 30+ and after a while there were 2-3 other regulars and it got boring with no one around Tried dayz2017 and the same thing happend to most of those servers

The only thing that is stupid about killing new spawns is when I was at balota once,a guy saw me while I was unarmed and I ran past him in the hangers clearly away from him He chased me all around the hangers and behind cars firing his ak until he ran out if ammo, used up a couple of 1911 mags and then ran and picked up a hatchet right next to me that told him I wasn't going to pick up He wasn't a bad shot even though most his shots missed, I just kept running in and out if cover wasting his ammo all the time telling him he may as well walk away as he just wasted two ak mags on an unarmed player when he may have needed that on a real threat Next thing as he chases me around a guy with a double barrel runs up and shoots us both He then goes on to taught the dead ak guy about that he wouldn't have even come to balota if he hadnt wasted his ammo and gave away his position It's not that people kill unarmed players because they might be a threat People go out of their way to kill them just to make themselves feel good for killing another player It happens a lot

Basically whenever i try and play the 1.7.6.1 version on any server or any map I can play for a few minutes then the game freezes. I can still hear it running but only task manager can get me out of it. It does this roughly 5mins into each game, and im pretty sure its the exact same amount of time every time it crashes. I get no error or 'arma 2:OA has stopped working' Just a screen freeze. Dayz+ and other versions of the mod that run on older versions dont get this, its definantly 1.7.6.1 thats causing it And yes ive re installed dayz and arma 2 as well as the beta patch and it still have this problem

I'm curious about the zombies doing increased damage. Are we looking at similar damage output to dayz + and dayz 2017? I like the amount of damage zombies do on those mods of a mod and it would be nice to fear the zombies again

OP What you need to realise is that modding and game creating from scratch isn't simply click and place and everything is all dandy I've modded other games and I can tell you even with all the tools provided for you it's a mind numbing and head banging against the wall task....and that's on a good day when things go according to plan You should try modding some games like x3: reunion that provide little tools and even less help on what the scripting does. Once you've seen how difficult it can be to mod a game, then try to imagine what it's like to build a new one

Well I recently was betrayed for no apparent reason, I left my pickup to investigate a deer stand and came back to see a guy with a bicycle stopped on the road I lowered my weapon after we established he was friendly and wondered if the truck was mine which I said yes but he can have it if he wants which he replied that he prefers the bicycle So I have a sa-58 assault rifle , while he has a ak PSO which has a similar sight to the cz550, I have an Alice pack and he has one too I offer a transfusion as the option came up when I was nearby but he says no and that he can just cook some meat So we sit down and start a fire and cook some meat , asking where we ae heading and if we know if any bandits at starry as that's where he's thinking of heading So at this point I've offered him everything and he has better gear and he's taken the time to talk to me, we have already agreed we will head separate ways and I say goodbye and as I get in the truck he raises his weapon and unloads into the pickup, killing me He reloads and keeps firing, I later return to the same place to find the truck gone and the bicycle destroyed and my body laying there untouched which nothing taken What possible reason he had to kill me? ( bearing in mind he shared supplies food and drink which he had little of and then killed me)

Entspeak that's not weird at all, it does that when you get shot while de synched It doesn't matter about your ping and even if it says you have 0 de synch it can still be out of synch with other players I've had times where this was the case and been killed like thus

In this video I discover the camp of the server bandit group and things quickly heat up as i find they are in fact the admins..........and they are REALLY pissed. The first kill i didnt get on video but the rest is here

I cant remember the exact name but its in the video when i die, it tells you the name of the server Its run by the KLR and SVEA clans who are both abusing the admin livemap and its a dayz+ server

Well I'm currently on an adventure in a private server where I haven't died yet if that helps. Haven't killed anyone eiether but I'm currently wearing a hero skin and hunting a bandit group so if you want a story I can tell you from beginning to end (once I track down the bandits) So you can expect some heroic rescues I've also met quite a lot of friendly people and had interactions with them the most intense where a helicopter crew came to pick up some of there guys from the exact building I was on, lucky for me they were friendly Also being dayz+ that I play on makes for some intense zombie battles as they hit harder I should also hopefully get it in film so then you can do what you like with my story

One time on namalsk I saw 4 guys running around st the damn like idiots. Being a friendly player I tried to sneak away but they spotted me and opened fire, after almost a full dmr Mag they took me down I spent the next few days under another name, learning where they headed most commonly and set up outside the underground bunker, nothing happened for hours so I logged out I had a spare few minutes to play and logged back in just in time to see a pickup and a ural pull up with their name tags appear They all ran into the bunker ( even though the Zombies I had spawned were around) setting up no watch except one guy who was sitting in the ural I crept up and the ural guy jumped out, I unloaded into him and he ran for cover but he died before he could find any Next I see a camp guy and open fire killing him as he panicked and fired all over the place hitting me once with his m4 As I step into the bunker the dmr guy leans out and spams bullets killing me The only thing I regret is not thinking to take out their verchiles, but still it felt good to get some payback, since all they did was drive around killing newspawns Never saw them on the server again after that

I like to snipe yet it's far too easy I wouldn't even bother if they made it more difficult

Probably the guy who I called friendly to, he shot me knocking me unconscious, tried to loot me and failed realising I wasn't dead Then missed his last 3 shots at blank range, decided to the ignore me while he looted the building, I woke up and tried to shoot him in the leg but he was on so low blood that 2 g17 rounds to the leg killed him Best part is I offered him a transfusion before he fired and he choose to waste all his ammo on a guy with a pistol and died to me just to try and get a kill when he was basically dead from blood loss anyway where he could have got a transfusion first and then tried to kill me

Same thing happens to me the other day , fired 3 shots and downed him with a hip fire headshot. Aim high :)

Try dayz+, the zombies there do 1500 instead of 250 blood damage, it doesn't help with the speed and tracking but it means that they can kill you in a few hits if they knock you out Not perfect I know, but a step In the right direction

You don't get any humanity for killing bandits, you just don't lose any if they have a bandit skin

Yes i hunt bandits every day, i got 1 confirmed kill today and another that combat logged on me. Its not much, but the server I play on tends to have quite a few friendlies, they probably dont even know someone is watching over them Anyone else that passes me by gets the benefit of the doubt unless i see them murder someone in cold blood (unarmed, sneaks up on them and kills them ect)
