Hackers - What you need to know.
thelonewarrior replied to DarkRaven123's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Good information, could you add to your post that by keeping your back to any wall disables the ability of a hacker to teleport behind you, they will glicth in the wall and can even break their legs when invincible doing this, they will likely teleport away and heal but it distracts them for a few seconds. If you hear footsteps behind you while having your back to a wall where you know you cannot enter (an unenterable building for example) Then abort straight away -

Not a care-bear thread, but asking for a solution
thelonewarrior replied to Jurkey's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The only reason its 90% kill on sight is because all the friendly players quit once they realise this or they go to kill on sight themselves. If those people who want to be friendly hadnt left the mod, it would be far more balanced, but as it stands right now most friendlys have left :( This makes me sad -
Cowards let Bandits thrive
thelonewarrior replied to Sentinal (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well I run to cover, but never back down from a fight. Recently I was shot at in my car in lingor, spun the beast around and dived out behind my car for cover. The moment I rose above it to fire, the so called bandit alt f4ed because he obviously didnt want to fight for the car By the way, Sentinal check out our forums and youtube, if it interests you then join us, we do pretty much what you do as well as help the few survivors that will accept it. You are not alone, you have at the very least our clan fighting the good fight out there as well :) -

I will never be a bandit. Survivor nice-guy stories
thelonewarrior replied to IroquoisPliskin (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Always will follow the path of the hero :) I heard shooting in cherno (surprised?) and followed the sounds and bumped into another hero skin in cherno firestation, 2 dead bandit skins there, one at each entrance (guess they tried to kill him and failed) Yet he was unconcious and bleeding, he had an Ak kobra, one bandit had an enfield and the other a double barrel shotgun. He wakes up and zeds pile in and I bandage him while he shoots, then he passes out again and I take over with my M4. He has broken legs and doesnt speak much english but he sayes he is on 1500 blood. I tell him to stay put and I run to the hospital, taking a few bursts of fire along the way but Im not stopping in case someone stumbles across my fellow hero skin. I get all I need and head back and hear AK kobra shots like mad, fearing the worst I run back into the firestation to see he has gone, I check the tower and shots from an enfield hit the tower but miss me. I hear screaming and the shots have stopped. I follow the sounds to the supermarket and see Hero guy unconcious again on the floor and a couple of zeds beating him. Quickly dispatch them and transfuse him and morphine him. He thanks me, just in time for me to lose connection and when I return he isnt there :( -
Has the hero skin changed your gameplay experience at all?
thelonewarrior replied to porkus_maximus's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ive always played the hero, so no its not changed my gameplay except for one thing: One of my teamates shot me 3 times with a G17 to test the so called bullet proof jacket and it worked. 3 body shots with a hero skin on.....no damage but still went into shock So on a new spawn when I see a bandit with a pistol shooting at me, I run at him in the open with a hachet and wait for him to scream "OMFG hacker hacker" after he unloads 60 rounds into my body Some people are so dumb -
Heroes few and far between?
thelonewarrior replied to KrisDayZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Im a hero, I had 40,000 humanity but there was a series of attacks upon myself and my clan that resulted in me dropping to 16,000 Ive only ever met 4 living heroes number 1 was a bandit in disguise (one of my teamates got a bandit kill for them) number 2 didnt speak english and had broken legs and kept passing out, so I went to the hospital and came back to patch him up only to find he had crawled from cherno fire station to cherno supermarket, but healed him in the end. (tip of the day: when you cant find your patient follow the SCREAMS) Number 3 and 4 were fighting zeds, one was trapped in a tent and the other was trying to help him. I threw smokes and gunned down the zeds for them with an M4, but even then they didnt trust me too much so we parted quickly and went our own ways (they were friends and far less armed than I was, so they probably didnt want to risk a fight but thats fair enough) -
players with other clothing are invisible to me?
thelonewarrior replied to Dyr (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ive seen this before as well, someone I want playing with put on cam clothing and it cloned their body (made them stand still, I could see the clone but they couldnt and I could also loot it which took items from the other guys inventory even though he had left the building I was in) As I went looking for him, 10mins later I hear footsteps and he says hes been following me the whole time but somehow he is invisible to me. I shoot where he is standing (to test it) but I cant shoot him, the bullets go through him but he can shoot me. We solved this by both logging out and then back in and it was ok but now we could both see the clone I know that doesnt answer your question, but I thought as it was a smiliar situation it may be of some help By the way the other guy wasnt hacking, I could not even see him on thermal and its well known that the invisibility hack doesnt work with thermal (I can confirm this, one time there was a hacker following my group and when I spotted him on thermal, no one else could see him normally, so we got the admin to send him a friendly 'get the fuck out of our server message') -
Nice video. And have some beans for having a hero skin :) Heres a tip, from what experience ive had with hackers the sactal charges can kill invicible hackers as on ground zero of a sactal blast, it instant deaths players with no blood damage. I was lucky enough once to be taken to a hacker camp by hackers and blew them up with sactal charges while they spawned in weapons. Im not 100% sure it works as I dont know for sure they were invincible, but next time tell them you want to blow up a building and then plant 4-5 charges by their feet and RUN!

Friendlies in Cherno - This Is Why You Shouldn't Kill On Sight

Hygene in the standalone and the dirty bastard skin (idea, poll)
thelonewarrior posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think hygene as another icon would be something that could make the game interesting. Im not sure if im serious about this idea, but its fun to think about If you let it get too low, you get sick and need antibiotics, one simple effect right there. But if you let it get flashing red. it gives you the dirty bastard skin (a guy in a trenchcoat all dirty with flies around him) and also adds the flies sound so other players can tell you are near. The advantage however is that zombies wont attack you even if you run in plain view, only firing will attract them as you now smell like a zombie. But the sound of flies should be different so another player can recognise the dirty bastard flies from up to 50m away Two ways to make the hygene metre green 1. swimming into a small pond and scrolling to 'wash self' 2. find soap as an item and use it. even if you treat this post as a joke, let me know what you think -

LOL, i know, I just think it would be funny to think about seeing as people are wanting to ability to piss and shit, why not add hygene too? :) -

Why do most clans require 18+ players
thelonewarrior replied to BwobBwub's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ill you a story. we had a 13 year old join our clan. He proceeded to break our rules 20 times in the month we had him, most of which we didnt find out until other people mentioned him doing stuff. From what I remember he did the following: Got clan members killed on multiple occasions by logging out when they needed help Killed members of our clan when their backs were turned for thrills and said it was a bandit (2 confirmed times and a couple of suspected times) Revealed the location of our main camp to 2 of his real life friends who proceeded to take everything, save the tents, steal our verchiles and crash our helicopter into the camp itself. On a second occasion the group of now 3 went to the camp again, destroyed our second helicopter (it was face down in the ground destroyed and wiped out most of our tents in the crash) They lied saying they were in trouble for a free pickup in the verchile even though our other group were under fire somewhere and the 13 year old wasnt. So we kicked them from the clan, locked and loaded and waited in ambush at our main camp. (which had been moved to another server, we just left empty saved tents there) Lo and behold 3 hours of waiting (we saw them on the server list and knew they were coming) I run into the open as a distraction, they look my way to fire. BAM BAM. 2 swift AS50 shots from one of our snipers and they are down We still accept any aged people, as the ones we have in our clan now are well behaved and mature for their age. But I can see why other clans wont let them in, the 3 we had encounters with caused us a lot of trouble and took away our focus from playing -
Coop? Why the hell coop?
thelonewarrior replied to interceptor's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ive said it before, making the zombies do something nasty like 3000 damage per hit (well maybe not that much, but 1000 would be enough to terrify players into teaming up) It wouldnt break the whole PvP part and that would still go on a lot, but making it so its a far greater risk to fire a shot at another player will also make it better when claiming the gear as they will have to fight their way to the body instead of running there, being attacked by 10 zombies while they grab the weapons and emerging with high end gear and only suffering 2000 blood damage. If two players run into a building with high end gear with my suggestion, zombies coming from all directions, they both know killing each other will just mean they will probably both lose all their gear as while they are shooting each other zombies will finish the job after (especially if a 10 second log out is deployed) Think about it, bandit skin or not, you run into a building to escape zombies, run right into another player. Zombies are breaking in from all directions, you both have the top level weapons and tools. 3 thngs can happen: 1. Shoot the other guy, zombies maul you as you are ovverrun or trying to loot his corpse 2. Make a break for it and try and get away from him 3. Team with him (even if only for this battle) tell him the only chance is to fight together and maybe afterwards instead of shooting you he might think 'hey this guy is alright (especially if you sprint to him after the fight and transfuse him) and maybe you will earn a friend, or they might just shoot you after which some people will do but hey, that just shows the PvP is still there, just not every 5 seconds -
Being a hero has its ups and downs, but whether your a bandit or hero......karma is bound to catch up with you sometime. Im at the north east airfield when I hear a verchile approach.......no one could have predicted what happend next............ http://youtu.be/4n6sZab811Y I thought it better to approach then sit by the tree and wait for them to spot me, they might take it the wrong way if im pointing a DMR at them from the trees and I wasnt getting away with all those sniper rifles they had.....only choice was to make contact

The only time I alt f4 is with hackers, it is acceptable to exit the game ASAP because of hackers. No one stands there and lets a hacker kill them after 50 days alive and armed with all the best gear. Admit it, whether its alt f4 or abort, you will never stay there unless you want to die, if you want to live there is no way your not going to quit against an invincible hacker I will also admit, if I spawn in and theres a group around me or right near me I will quit straight away. Not out of fear of deathm, but if I kill them I feel ive cheated as Ive logged in behind them etc, I dont want to ruin someones game by accidently logging in on top of them

So inland spawn points how about it?
thelonewarrior replied to electroban's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Wouldnt it make sense to have spawn points all around the outskirts (in the standalone as the map will be bigger) and have an airfield in the centre where all the good stuff is. That way whereever you spawn, there should be something like 15000m to the centre of the map so everyone will have a chance at going there. This would also make it difficult to hold the airfield in a group and anyone could come from all sides -
True words, up close and personal is the way to fight. You find out who are the real cowards or real veterans when you take fire in the towns. The few that have stood to fight in the towns makes for a far more intense battle, not knowing if theres just one guy or if someone is running around to flank you is far more interesting then.....bam sniper shot dead, or if they miss and alt f4.
