Worst idea ever. I wouldn't mind it if we were talking about pre 1.7.2.3...and before the huge Arma nerf. But now a 1911 takes up to 6 shots to drop a zed. SIX. One with a headshot I know, but that is pretty hard to do every singe time. Ammo is scarce for that gun compared to a makarov and resetting it through ammo swap has saved my life many times. Now I might as well not even carry a pistol at all. Until the nerf is reversed on zeds this should not be included in the next patch. After the damage is buffed again, by all means "fix" this unlimited ammo problem. But until then leave it as is considering it takes nearly a whole clip of 1911 or revolver ammo to kill one zed without a headshot. just my opinion.

just happened to me... US 196 hacker: John Gamerson

Ok, I have seen FAR FAR FARRRRR to many of these threads today and this week in general. If hacking gets any worse, then all of those threads saying the game is dying will actually have some real truth to them. We aren't there yet, but at the rate hacking is going now....it won't be long before dayz becomes hackz. Please for the love of God ROCKET....stop the hackers! I don't know how, I don't care how, but it needs to be stopped. Soon. btw: I was hacked yesterday and lost a 6 day character with L85AWS and ghillie. Shot in the head from a teleporter who raided my whole CLANS camp. A very prominent clan in DayZ btw, who is being specifically targeted by hackers. We have pretty much had a hacking event everyday this week. Last nights was one of the more serious in terms of LOOT and items lost. But it pales in comparison to some hackers who just out right kill the server. At least I haven't been involved in something like that...yet.

I am in the exact same postition. I have applied to a few clans, but haven't heard back...I'll give the one above a shot (hopefully they answer.)

they sure as hell do exist...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y810ER0Dv_g

I don't think they are going to go with the CryEngine or ArmA III....according to the interview at indie games conference, the dev acted like Arma II was fine...which it is for an alpha, but not a beta let along a full game.

I would like to join as well, but would have to start from scratch...just killed.

Thanks for the tips. VSYNC did it for me in terms of the biggest boost next to Antialiasing. Now I can turn up a few of the texture settings with minimal FPS drop. Playing on a HD 5750 (1440x900) getting around 50fps dipping to 35 which is still very playable. Much better than it was before I found this thread (was 15-25fps)
