Hi guys, I have a story to share. So, I was in a server and I had a lot of tents and stuff. The server had little people so I could make tons of runs into the barracks. One day, I was walking to my tent, and BANG! got shot by a guy... Me, pissed as usual went there to check it out, resupplied in one of my other tents, and came at night... My tent was destroyed. Didn't know what to do so I logged out. Logged in the other day and heard something. I just stood hidden in a tree, and waited... I heard a motor bike... The noise stopped. I was feeling stupid so I went back to my destroyed tent since it was in my way towards the other tents. Heard it again. Started to crawl towards it, and then... I saw them. Three guys and a motor bike. One of them saw me. He started shooting, but couldn't see me anymore. I retreated to a safer location... Then, later at night I took my flashlight and started searching the area, just when I thought they don't have a camp after all I saw a tent... Started crawling again, turned of my flashlight and took my M4 camo. And then I saw it... A motorbike, a UAZ, a pickup and a truck... Then, I saw more tents, spread out in the area. Started to search... Found 4 nightvisions, 4 camo suits, M107s, SAW, MK 48 and lots more. Loaded the truck and parked it in a safe location, took everything they had and destroyed the rest of the tents. I was freaking happy. But I forgot one thing... Why is there only around 10 people in the server....? So, I logged in the other day(Z) and guess what? The server is not running on the correct DayZ version, if you are the owner, please contact DayZ staff. Till that day, the server isn't working, and now, I'm wondering... Are the bandits that owned that camp owners of the server and made it so that they are the only ones that can play on it? Or is it something else? And still, about 2 months later, the server isn't working. What a shame. I'm still trying to learn one thing, that everyone should learn. Use your stuff, don't horde it, because you will very likely lose it, and then you will regret it. Haven't played much since, just glad to have good gear that I found that faithful day. Another lesson; get a bout. Go on an island, I think it's much safer. :P

Hackers ruin the game, people quit the game becouse of that I think. You spend tons of time just so some hacker can come and destroy eveything. They better come up with some protection soon. And also community has gone to shit if I may add, just a bunch of "bandit" noobs. But that's why we got to keep playing, so there is at least some good people in the game. To bad friendlies are almost extinct.

This is how it's done. You have to check online for important high yield building, once you've done that you know that stores and fire stations are the best. So I do it like this: run all the time, and then once you get to the store you have a huge chance of finding at least a Makarov PM, just shoot them in the hood, loot the rest and your good to go, of course if the server has tons of people you might die, but better die from players then from zombies. I do this all the time and always get tons of food, alice pack, revolver, 1911, lee, and other things. Usally I roam until I find a compass and a map.

Hey guys, got a bunch of ideas that I would like to share, so hear me out. Backpacks: More backpacks. :lol: Clothing: I would love to have more clothing and clothing slots. Let's say the sun is really bright and you can't see well, wear a hat or some sunglasses and your good to go. Also if it's starts raining a jacket, stuff like that. Also totally agree on what Rocket said, once you spawn you could be a doctor or something like that, so you have different skins and skills. Skills: It would be nice if skills were a thing. Let's say you want to give a blood transfusion to a friend, and you have never done it, he gains only 2000 blood. With each blood transfusion you can give more blood and you gain skill. Also It would be very cool if you could cut wood, and make a bow, or a spear, also you would need skill. It would also be nice to have "skill books" for that, so you need to learn before you can do it, and then if you have friends you can learn them, stuff like that. Making items: Already mentioned bows and spears, I think it would be awesome if you could make traps and other things like that. Maybe even metal things if you had the skill and a furnace or something like that, but that's maybe already too much. Blood: I think it would be awesome that if you found a syringe you could give your friend your blood. Becouse I think you would be forced to do that in real life if your friend lost a lot of blood. Also think that, that if you have -3000 blood you can live only a short period of time if you don't gain blood somehow. Zombies: I think zombie attacks are bad. I was just walking about and then I saw a zombie, I went to kill him with my axe but he just knocked me over, I was bleeding and losing blood fast. It's really bad. I think at least if you have a hatchet that you have lower chances of getting hit, or getting wounded if nothing else, I think one zombie couldn't do crap against a good ol' axe, but okay. Weapons: All sharp objects like the knife should be usable weapons, maybe a little melee slot next to the primary and the secondary weapon? Also I think it would be cool if you could throw them, maybe I'm asking too much, idk. Vehicles: I think vehicles, at least cars and bigger ones should have way more space, I mean, I had a van and I couldn't fit more then two backpacks in it. What's with that? Also I think it would be awesome that when your in a forest you can use a "camo option" so you can throw leaves and stuff like that on your car to make it less visable, I already found 3 "hidden" cars, they are just so bloody obvious. Trains: I saw somewhere on the forums that someone suggested trains, I think that's okay, but maybe it would be better if he (Rocket) just added wrecks that you can loot like heli crashes, they would have food and maybe pistols, like a residential heli crash site. Medic supplies: I think medic supplies could also be found on randomly spawned medic trucks, stuff like that, wrecks as well as the heli crash site. Tents: I want more tent types, like shown in the offical DayZ video (the squarish ones) and also bigger tents like at military camps. Woodcutting: Since you can't place tents in some places, especially if there were bigger tents like the stary sabor ones I think It would be awesome if you could cut trees, which would produce noise, so you can make space for you camp. There is much more going on in my mind but I can't remember, so this is all for today, what do you think chaps? ^_^

It's working again. :)

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to wait.

Hey guys, I started playing on a server with my brother and today we saw that it's not on the server list, so I looked up a little, googled it and now I see that it's down, it had really good ping and location for our country so I would hate losing it. Is that forever or just a small period of time? Thanks. :huh:

I have set up my tents in the forest (not out of the map, inside of it) and I updated and my server didn't. So I waited a day and now I have entered the server and the tents are gone. This is awful becouse I lost my stuff and even worst I lost my tents! I worked hard to find them.

I had an idea about the knife in the game. You can put the axe in your primary weapon slot. I thought that the knife could be used as a weapon in the pistol slot. Less damage then an axe but still, you can defend yourself if your closed in a house or something like that.

This did the trick, thanks. Anyone who has this problem just do this, it's fast, it's simple and it works. Thank you so much! And we also didn't see just the Bohemia Interactive, we saw only the studio one.

How do I do that?

*bump*

Hello. I live with my family in one house and we have two computers. We both bought Arma 2 and played it a couple of months ago. We stoped and now we wanted to do that again. So we entered the game and my brother spawned at the place I was in a few days ago. So we checked if he was on the right account, and he was. So I wanted to join and entered the server. It kicked me out, and that happend a few times, we noticed that each time I do that my brother got a message about illegal copies in the game. So I've noticed we can't play on the same server if connected to the same network. We both bought the copies and we are not happy about this, we are quite angry. Does this mean we can't play together any more? Why did we buy two copies then? I want this fixed ASAP. Thanks. :(
