A Metal Viking

I am sure this is not the work of hacker, but just a bug. I've seen on youtube someone who logged in, to find themselves way off shore in the sea, I cant remember if they tried re-logging in, but they went back to where they were last before it happened and their body was still there. So try heading back to where u was and at least it wont be that bad if u find ur body.

True, obviously there are reasons for and against, but the idea of preventing hackers seems much more for.

Its moments like that what make DayZ what it is today, next time try to stay logged in and don't abort, and hopefully you will live to tell the story :)

Nice comments, cant wait for the standalone!

The only reason it should be removed in my eyes is due to item duplication, made by game bugs. I think considering its rarity, should stay in, if not be made even more rare, if your characters been alive for a long period of time, its only fair really to have an advantage over newer players. (just my opinion).

Rocker has been speaking alot recently about patch 1.7.2.5, adding back bandit skins, plus hero skins. Plus fixing numerous bugs n glitches like the barb wire glitch, and the game not saving ammunition count when you do 'something', leading to basically infinite ammo. Now for the best bit :) dogs, if you didnt know, there is a very high possibility that in the next patch, certainly in a near future one, there will be added dog companions, that can sniff out animals, and apparently if you find a dead body and the person who killed them is near by, the dog can sniff em out. Theres a few other stuff as well you can read about it on the forums and Rockets interview. Personally I think it all sounds awesome.

Lol thats awesome, the sound of his legs breaking is satisfying.

Go on a higher populated server maybe?

Glitches, Hackers and alt F4ers. Too much to mention lol

From what I know either back out to lobby then re-connect, relaunch the game again, or try going into options and changing your video settings to very high, then to default.

They are adding Dogs to it soon as Rocket said, as companions for the moment. Possibly in the next patch.

Aah, I havnt had the chance to experience that myself just yet :P but its rocket said somewhere that that should be done, so if it isnt enabled just yet it may be coming out in a future patch unfortunatly

If you dont like where you spawn, just get yourself killed by zombies? the only other way to respawn is if you break your legs, then its enabled.

Its a tarp lol.

'Hey I just met you. And this is dayZ. But here are some beans. So you're friendly, maybe?' Dickhat, thats freakin awesome lol

I had this problem, try either using a different launcher, like DayZ commander or Six Launcher. If that does not work go into your games directory and launch the game from the 'beta' launcher, Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead. you should find it in there or wherever your directory is.

Try different servers, some servers will do this occasionally, its rare but does happen. If it purists try re installing DayZ from this website.

'The Road' awesome film, reminds me so much of DayZ, its about a father and son living in a post apocalyptic world, as they encounter alot of things as what would happen in real life, bandits, crazy people ect.

Best way is download 'DayZ Commander', its what I use, you can filter out by a simple click of what you do/dont want, not just by searching night in the title ect. get it! :)

I seriously hope so, its the squeaky 10yr olds with no pubic hair that ruin this as their mind cant process how to play something other than holding the shoot button constantly.

Not sure about the first, but I am pretty sure they do dissapear when around 200m away. So if theres zombies in a town a big distance away from you, brace yourself =)

I support this idea!

Looking for a DayZ Partner to join group of 3. Prefer the more serious type I guess, but good to have a laugh, and a MIC is a must. Age of 18+ We are a decent group of players that use a more tactical approach. We watch each others backs, and try to stick together to survive. Preferably be from Europe due to ping issues, we are from the UK. We use Skype/Mumble atm. Talk soon maybe =)

Respawn?
