i get this, i think it has something to do with the "black" zombie skin.. i get this alot when i see that zombie .. very irritating and happens a lot around towns.

Dear admins & server guys we had some people graffti our map with x's and notes using the map note system.. i can't seem to find any guides on effectivly removing them does anybody know how it works? thanks

ignore some of the above the responses.. my advice is to run like a idiot around big towns, you can dash in and out of buildings losing any following zombies (due to the walk thing other people have mentioned) and if your quick you will get a few weapons and get out with a semi decent kit.. :) this is what i do now, i can't be bothered to sneek around for 30 min in rubbish towns so i just run to cherno and dash in as many buildings i can and just hope i dont get shot, 95% of the time i actually get a few guns and get out ok.. good times i actually spend an hour in game goto cherno get out and head to stary or somewhere else with a rifle, a handgun a waterbottole and some of the smaller tool items depending on how lucky i am.. and if i dont get a rifle your bound to get a hatchet or a pistol which is good enough for going north as there are plenty of barns to stop by and other places :beans: my main advice is get a tablet, a laptop or some other device and have the MAP up at all times. you need it so badly to figure out where your going

EDIT : i shouldnt say fixes in the title i think its currently fine :) just maybe change fixes to changes or thoughts.. Firstly i am OLD , i have been playing games a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.. 20+ years :) so i like to think i have a lot of gaming experience so hopefully that comes across in this and this post is not just disregarded. Alt f4 in pvp (or dcing) - I used to play a game called legend of mir 2 (like a diablo but with amazing pvp) , in this game it had a very CLEAR murder system which dayz could adopt.. firstly if you where "in combat" you had to wait 30 seconds before disconnecting, in dayz you could up that timer say to two minutes or a minute. I look at the alt f4 issue for dayz and try to think what this would relate to in real life and i guess you could say its going to sleep (logging off) so in theory if you where in combat you would not just goto sleep.. you would NOT just log off so if you where "in combat" then (a bit like wow even?) you could make it so that you can't log out. So now we have to define in combat and the thing i love about this is that mir2 had it PERFECT.. if you attacked somebody you went "brown" (your name changed from white) and because you where brown they could kill you and not get a murder.. in mir2 this led to a lot of griefing where somebody would try to purposely make you brown so his group could kill you.. this also however allowed the person getting attacked to defend them selves and if they killed the other guy it was not a murder as it was self defence. How can this be implemented in dayz? well i firstly think you should be able to add people to groups.. in real life you know who is in your group you would recognise them.. the problem with dayz is that all characters LOOK the same (not real) so maybe add a group system which would allow your group to glow a colour or something so you could recognise them..you dont have to see them on maps and you could say within X meters they are in your group and otherwise they are not (incase they where far away and in real life you would not recognise them) the reason you would need a group system is for the next part.. Simple fact, peoples aim sucks and some of the guns are in-accurate. so if you attacked somebody and only went brown if you hit them that would make the entire system pointless as you would of likely killed them (FYI i am using brown as the mir2 definition in dayz the player would not have to change skin colour or anything, but he could be labelled by the server as the attacker..) there are two fixes to this.. make you go brown on either of the following conditions (which ever is easier to code) You go brown if you shoot your gun and ANY person is on your screen (expect group members) You go brown if you shoot your gun and your cross hair has moved over a person not in your group within the last 30 seconds Easy now if your brown People can kill you (as part of self defence, if they kill you then they do not get a murder, this means if somebody attacks your group and you kill them you no longer get a murder.. in law murder is difference than self defence and in this game it should be also) you can still kill people (as murder) if you are brown you are in combat and can not disconnect for x amount of time. the server could also recognise who you ARE attacking and if they got hit (the main problem of Alt f4ing) then they are registered as also in combat.. and they also can not log out for x amount of time.. the con of this system and it did happen is that if you naturally lagged out and you where in combat you would not be able to dc until you where dead. (brutal i know) but i feel this is a brutal game.. i also think if your chara remained in game for 30 seconds after disconnecting then it would assist with this issue.. an alt f4er would die as 30 seconds would mean zombies kill him.. a normal player logging of safely would not die. A much simpler fix with out the murder system revamp would be if you are in range of x amount of people or zombies then you can not log out (again group members not counting) TL DR I feel the alt f4 problem is simply because people can just log on and off.. you could quite easily put in a system to prevent this which basically sums up to if you disconnect at any time your character remains in the game for x amount of time.. a normal player would make sure his chara is safe before dcing.. a alt f4er would die edit i feel like i went off on a few tangents as there are many ways to fix this issue easily so if some of it seems jibberish sorry :)
