IF the server restarts and you're in the air. The vehicle rollsback but you're put directly below your current position on the ground. You simply beat that person back to that spot, he probably spawned a grid square away and was running back :P

I'm all for it, every time I get something. The game bugs and wipes it anyways. I've lost a few AS50's and now my L85A2 Aws, so why the hell not? Anything I lose i would of lost within a few days anyways.

Put my L85 in a tent, was out of ammo for it after a server restart ate 5 mags. So I stashed it and was going to go look for car parts when the server crashed. Ran back to my tent, no more L85 :(

Manually update, I had the same issue once. Just google Arma II beta patch, and download the latest.

Battle eye needs to step its game up also. When you're teleported to the thunderdome. DO NOT fight. Just log. They want you to fight and kill each other, they get their rocks off on it. So rob them of their fun and go have your fun on another server.

Exactly, don't fight. They want you to fight and kill eachother, they find it amusing. Instead, just log out and go play elsewhere.

OR! When a hacker teleports you to the thunderdome, instead of getting weapons and fighting to the death. Like they want. You simply leave the game and hop on another server, thereby robbing them of their fun and continuing your own. Yes, the ones who teleport to you individually and kill your with god mode on are still going to kill you. However, you can still avoid those if you're fast enough with Alt+f4 or a macro system that aborts you instantly if needed. Yes this is cowardly but fuck hackers. They can give themselves anything they want in the game and can turn invincible. That completely defeats the purpose of dayz and they might as well just go play COD or BF3.

As the title says, I'm looking for a map like http://dayzdb.com/map but with the ability to add my own notes. Not sure if there is one but I'd like to know if anyone has seen one, it would be a great way to share information quick between friends over skype, like loot locations/camps or vehicle locations. Any help would be great!

Now do it again without camping in a tree and alt +f4ing when you hear footsteps.

Probably a hacker, some hack tool he downloaded that let him spawn with "X" items and he teleported around to kill you. I have seen people die, then respawn on the beach with their gear. But if they respawn in the same city, yeah... most likely a hacker :P

oh me likey, thanks bl1p.

Well, assuming the game doesn't have a front focal plane. Then your zoom will effect your range. So you need to find the range with a second focal plane. So when you're fully zoomed in with a rifle, the equation should work, but if you're not. Then you'll have to do a bit more math for the difference in zoom. So if the range when not fully zoomed in is x5, then you need to multiply your results by 2 to get the x10 reading. Or just zoom in and do it from there :P

Its Height of target in meters x 1000 then divide that by the height of the target in mildots. So, since you used 1.8m, I'll do the same. 1.8m x 1000 is 1800 Divided by the height of the target in mildots, lets say its 4mildots. 1800/4 = 450 meters. Is the range. Since you can't zero in 50s, zero to 400 and aim slight high.

I've found a lot on my main server, juts gotta run around the edge of the map, ontop of hills.. You'll find em. People are predictable and finding them is quite easy, don't look close to towns, venture out.

A friend and I found a single tent in NWAF. We tried putting it up but had some issues, finally got it down but after a server restart there were 4 tents all ontop of eachother. We started taking them down and put the extras in our main tent. Another restart, more tents.... Highly possible they could of had a similiar problem and just moved bases after the initial mass spawn. They're close enough to NWAF that they can make runs, plus if they brought a tent to NWAF and put it near the barracks, then ran loot to it to force the barracks to spawn more loot. They could of essentially gotten plenty of items with very minimal effort.

Unfortunately, without the respawn button. It is giving another tool to hackers to harass players. Just like if they add in a disconnect timer before battle eye gets its shit straight. Players that would be able to alt+f4 a hacker and life, will now die. Now, when a hacker ports you around or breaks your bones and removes you gear. You can't respawn and might be forced to crawl an amazing distance to try and survive, only to end up starving to death. I think it needs to go back in until a fix to all these children using someone elses made hack tool is fixed.

Don't like it, feels to mmorpg to me. Game should focus on surviving and dealing with other players. Not "teaming up to raid that phat loot boss".

Well, if I log into my main server. Go to the NWAF, pick up weapons + ammo/gear. Then switch servers and spawn on the beach, then start killing people until it gets to hot i ditch. I can then relog to my main server and be back in the NWAF and can go looking for more ammo/gear. Switch to another server.... ect. This would mean players could in a way beat the entire system of running to get to the most pvp areas and bring the best weapons. With little chance of any real issues. If there was a check that offered some way to know if you've killed players on that other server you switched to, then when you logged into your main server again it would force you to be in that same city. Then people couldn't use this feature as a way to get ammo/gear by quick hoping back and forth for gear/kills.

The only players I'd really call bandits are the ones who actually kill for something they need. Killing some player for his pain killers because you're shaking or don't have any at the moment. Is murder, if ya look in almost any building near you, you'll probably find them. I run across pain killers constantly, next to tin cans they're probably one of the most common spawns. If you kill a player for his bag, or for his weapon or even more understandably for his food/water. Then sure, I call that as an act of banditry. But killing someone for an item that is spawned within probably a block radius of you. Makes you a murderer.

Was in cherno, I relogged to try to fix artifacting and my buddy was like "Oh shit oh shit abort abort". Someone started using the thunderdome hack and I was in mid login >_> I instantly aborted and these were the players on the player list * Server this happened on. 828 * Time that it happened including your timezone. 6:33am pst * What happened during the incident. ThunderDOME! http://i.imgur.com/JfrHG.png Those where the players on during the initial incident. This was the player list about 10mins or so later. http://i.imgur.com/D6mRi.png Myself being Stephen, KombatKyle being my buddy. Was originally like 14 people on, 10 are shown via screenshot. One of them I am assuming was the hacker, seeing as the other 4 who left probably alt+f4'd to safety. Rammfisch, if ya see this. Hope it helps!

Was this on 828?

Game isn't failing, numbers don't lie. The game wouldn't be growing if it was "Failing".

Was on skype when a friend died to an outhouse door. Laughs were had.

Did ya link the right one?

Yeah i've been looking around. I don't see anything like I want though, just spawn locations for various loot/vehicles and special interest locations. I wish I knew how to do it, or what type of program I'd need to use. I could probably learn myself but don't know where to start :(
