this is what makes gear so important, though... thats why people F4 out, because it was hard for them to get where they are.

maybe you switched servers? it doesnt save for all servers

So i was playing with a few friends (Cory Haim and panic) around 4:30am PST (yeah losers i know) when all of a sudden we all got teleported to a location that im unsure of (where the ocean leaks into the grass and there are two bridged roads) with a heli spawn and everyone on the server just started getting killed. Things that happened: -Everyone on the server was teleported to this location -A functional heli was there -and one of the times (this happened 3-4 times) everyones leg broke at the same time. server name is DayZ US 916 (v1.7.2.3/Beta 95208) [3DP:on CH:OFF][GMT-7] dayzmod.com - EDMW - Original SG Server by Dayz.asia it was definitely not GMT-7 though, as it was daytime in game but really late west coast. here are two screen shots.. one while the hacking was still present and one after it had stopped (hopefully that means the people who hacked left when it stopped and therefore the 'missing' names can be investigated) note* files were shrunk to meet size requirements and also during.png means the image when it was happening and after.png is after no more hacks were seen.

here is the second image (total file size was too big for one post) thanks

this happens to me. its like your game is getting sucked into a point on the screen with triangles and stuff? and only at certain camera angles? progressively getting worse? I just restart the game. that helps. idk of a fix though.

this is how i invalidate your answers.......

he's obviously a huge fag for posting a brand new computer, gaming brand, and asking if its capable of playing a mediocre (load wise) game.

yeah i think you're just bad dude. i dont play FPS but i know that people try to play this game like a typical FPS game.. i dont think thats how it works. i shoot on sight when im presented with a surprise.. usually ill say or type 'say something or ill shoot you' and if they dont say anything then ill shoot them... if they do then ill have a brief conversation and then go my own way, keeping a very close eye on them. i started playing the game after they took out spawning with weapons and it does make sense.. it devalues players on spawn (most likely wont be killed for spawning as you will have no 'useful' loot for someone to take from you)... and as someone said, it greatly increases risk. if you're getting sniped, it means you're exposing yourself to hillsides or rooftops too much.. i hope you're not stand-running, but instead crouch running. crouch running/prone is the only way to move in the game. lastly... you will almost certainly be shot on sight if you're in the cities of Cherno or Elektro since its a good, close to spawn, area for pvp. Kind of sucky when people will snipers come, but its not too bad if you are more careful. goodluck to you buddy.

I read a lot of hate on here about people hating the griefing by other players and i want to start some kind of discussion to either validate, or prove (in a simulator context) its wrong. Let me start by telling a quick story from just about an hour ago.. I was in NW Airfield with a red food icon. I (shamefully) was server hopping to try and fulfill that requirement, going through the fire station, ACT and the barn building. As i was in the ACT i saw a person slow-crouching up the stairs. They may have heard my footsteps, as i wasnt being particularly careful. He was equipped with a pistol and i had my M16.. once i saw him i just unloaded until it said he died. I do not consider myself a griefer (but i am impressed by both zombie/player kill count). I was just in a large amount of fear for my gear (breaking rule #1) since i had just recently found a heli crash, and also got my hands on a M24, with a fair amount of medical supplies and a revolver. He didnt shoot one shot, maybe he was a friendly. My heart was falling out of my anus and shot him because A) he startled me and B) I didnt wanna die/lose my stuff. so, people say its not real life.. and maybe i wouldnt hold onto thos items in real life the same way i do in game... but thats why its called a simulator and not 'real life'. i think the disconnect is in the ability to communicate 'negotiations' and possibly other players inability to sympathize. TL;DR Since griefing is kind of a lose term (anyone who gets killed without starting a fight can blame griefing), where do you draw the line? is it breaking the first rule of dayz? (dont get too attached to your gear) or is it to protect your time played on present life? i currently have (i think) 2 murders and ~260 zombie kills, and have a fairly good inventory. I will do what i have to, to protect my stuff, even if that means shooting when i feel there isnt time to communicate negotiations or rational thought.

you no longer start with a weapon. you will definitely lose your items if you go swimming. i lost a lot of good stuff once from this and couldnt figure it out. you will keep your pistol weapon-slot though (just bags and main weapon get lost i believe)... the second time you probably swam and just didnt notice it til later. one way to ditch the attention you get (from zombies) is to run through an enterable house (preferably with two exits) since the zombies can not run indoors. this should give you enough time to find a weapon, or escape through the other side without getting beaten to a pulp/lose blood. im only assuming here so forgive me if you know this, but there are a few set models of buildings that you can enter. if you havent yet seen it, go to dayzdb.com and use their map until you can find one in game (kinda cheap but i feel its a must, since i am still fairly new to the game) most of the BIG squares/circles are buildings that may have a weapon, or will have two exits for you to ditch zombies in.

so whenever i google something about dayz i get a handful of dayzmod.com forum returns and all the titles look helpful.... but when i click on it, i get a file not found page.. were they all deleted? is there a way i can type in some secret mumbo jumbo into my address bar and find the thread again?? questions include but not limited to: -PvP Hotspots/town approaching strategies -why lose my alice pack, M4 CCO and all my other great goodies when i go in the water -Why do i suck so bad? things like that
