then stop following them? the problem is too many people follow the same path at spawn, like lemmings. go the route others don't there is untold loot to be had, seriously.

how often do you do this for it to be a problem? take 3 seconds to read the server info before you join... problem solved, else = joining delay.

unless rocket changed it, he previously stated logging out while bleeding or cuffed resulted in death.

i disassemble the parts off the M4s and leave at random places all over the map.

if you have the internet bandwidth to download it quickly, like i do, it is a much cleaner option to create a new directory and reinstall the games. but steam mover is a great alternative.

One of you has to uninstall the game and re-install it to another location. when you install a game, you can choose its location. it is recommended that each steam login has a separate directory in which their games install.

they already do that, just not as frequently as we would like. server performance is probably the issue. give them time :)

lol! hey! lookie over here.... we have a zombie expert! Good sir, could you please share more wisdom on what 'actual' zombies are like? without claiming to know what fictious zombies may or may not be like, i think zombies, with next to non existent brain function and a rabies-like disease would run in a straight line to any movement in their vision, however slight. its instinct. noise equals food. Zombies don't need much AI, all Dayz needs is a lot more of them. and i mean a lot. you want going into town to be a suicide mission.you want people to really really want to go into electro with hordes of them wandering around in there.you want shooting a gun within 1km of a town to be like ringing the dinner bell. Dozens of zombies should come running to the sound of guns (and later vehicles) it will reduce gunfights.it will create the need to think before looting a town.it will make players less of a threat than the infected.

This is how a bandit looks like, for obvious reasons: so you think the military is evil and the press are heros???? I'd rather be a bandit, thanks.

the system won't work regardless... :) this isnt red vs blue this isnt shirts vs skins Dayz isnt black and white (well...unless you have severe blood loss, but anyway) there are as many "costumes" as there are people playing. you cannot force people to wear an artifical skin to make decisions easier for you.

glad you got it straightened out. now... be patient...and have fun! good luck!

fair enough. Dayz takes care of the dead reporting anything with the black screen when unconscious or dead. i respect your opinion, but i disagree with the Op calling Voip cheating and his idea that it should be somehow prevented. it would be a disaster to the game.

i understand what you're saying Orlok, but some of us have friends that we play games with - and we're not all sitting in a game studio at a round table. my friends are around the world. what am i suppose to do? go into team speak, shoot the shit with my friends, then say, "ok guys... going into Dayz... disconnecting from TS3... hope to bump into you sometime! i'll be in a pink hoodie!" people who choose to play the game solo have to understand that many of us game hobbyists play with clans. we're not going to give up the comradery and obvious benefits that voip gives to make the not-haves feel better about themselves. i've been gaming with voip since the 90's. i'm sure there are oodles of people like me that think it is a natural part of their gaming experience. That isn't going to change and removing that aspect of gaming will only cause a huge portion of the playerbase to move on to something else.

step 1: go to steam step 2: look at all the early access games available to the public right now. step 3: understand that it is more common than you think step 4: remove tinfoil hat step 5: profit!

bad graphics is your punishment for losing at Dayz. good graphics is a reward for winning at Dayz. Stop losing and you will see the good graphics :) that is all that need be said about it.

did you pay for it IN steam? if you dont see it in your games list... contact steam?

to the OP: You can't judge a book by its cover; you have to read the book, interact with it; follow it to its conclusion to see how the story ends. Being able to see whether someone is bad or good based on how they look is a poor mechanic that removes all adventure and mystery from this social experiment called Dayz. Player branding does not have its place in this game. there are other games you may find more to your liking; i recommend finding one of them and leave us to our game. Warm regards, Bubba

i was wondering why i had no Boost and AFR!

oh, for the love of god... Voip = cheating??? The OP is either upset that he has no friends, or he is jealous that his 50kb/s 3rd-world internet can't do voip AND play. What if you and a few friends are playing in the same room on laptops? or in a LAN? Voip has been around for over 10 years and is a common part of ALL gaming. get over it.

yes you can easily kill zombies with fists. get a good head shot on it quickly, it will fall down. keep punching its head while its down and it will keep falling down. it will die after 3-4 times of falling. keep punching it in the head.

me thinks this bambie has been watching videos of the mod for arma 2, not the unfinished, a-work-in-progress alpha that you agree to test (every time you start the game might i add) as it is still being developed.... you should be more upset with yourself for buying into an alpha thinking it was anything else (even with the multiple warnings found throughout steam and the internet.) welcome to the alpha testers.

In order to limit ammo (or any other loot) first: you must prevent players from server hopping the military areasAND you must prevent server renters from farming their own servers with constant restarts. The only way to regulate loot is for the HIVE to control the distribution and volume for all servers regardless of whether they are restarted or not. Rocket has said this is something he wants to do in the game, but i don't think this is something that will be available in the next 6 months. Personally, i don't think limiting loot will fix anything. the game needs reasons for not killing on sight.the game needs to give people value (other than blood donors)I think skills, if properly implemented will make positive interaction more comon.

yeah. i remember people grinding on zombies and bloodbaging friends to get their hero points up enough to go kill people for a while. they would use hero skin to trick people. totally useless mechanic...

because we're sick of seeing the exact same post every 5 minutes by people who don't even bother to look at the 10 most recent posts to see someone else posted the exact same thing. seriously, look at a few topics for an answer before deciding to ask something...

This isn't a wild west 1950's TV show where the good guys wear white hats and the bandits wear black hats... part of the game is not knowing who you're dealing with and interacting with them to find out. /sarcasm on Maybe rocket could make a third rule-set of the game called "carebear" where bad guys have to twirl their mustaches and and say, "muahahaha!" every 2 minutes. /sarcasm off
