I was in Electro heading into the fire station to find a real weapon. I had quite a bit of beginner loot, including a tent, but only a hatchet to defend myself. I headed into the station, began looting for items when suddenly I turned around and an infected spwaned...I hacked at him, but he managed to hit me once...breaking my leg. I had no morphine, so I was pretty screwed. Suddenly, a player rounded the corner from which the infected had sort of been near and he immediately attacked me with a crowbar. Keep in mind, I am disabled and on the ground... I hacked at him and choped him to bits. I felt as if his death was in vain, since I was to die soon, without question. However, just as this thought crossed my mind, there was a sound of helicopter blades. I thought perhaps I could find a kind soul on board. However, I knew that I would most likely be shot on sight. The blades suddenly and abruptly stopped...followed by a massive explosion. Whoever had put a lot of time and resources into a copter had just royally screwed themselves. I crawled over to the chopper, where at least one on board was dead, another injured, and two more members patrolling around quickly trying to find a way to safety. At this point, I direct commed to them. No response, but instead a chat from another random survivor such as myself who had also seen the crash. He also had been close to the fire station and headed towards the crash site. I now could clearly see a crash survivor and his .50 cal on his back. I was doomed, I beged for mercy and was shot on sight dead. The other survivor probably suffered the same fate very soon after I died. So, in short. I failed hard killing a zombie, someone failed at killing me, I killed him. Copter crashes, I go for "help" and get killed. What a trip!

Bump to confirm we at CQF will be playing the game once the Standalone comes out!

Soooo, this has been asked before, but not in the last few pages. Any word on an ETA for the standalone? I hope before 2013 honestly. I'd rather have a broken version of the standalone than a "good alpha MOD" anymore.

Seriously the best patch notes yet. Execpt you should be able to eat or drink or heal in a vehicle. Very unrealistic, you could definately do that IRL. Please, please, PLEASE consider making it so that you can eat or drink or heal while in a vehicle.

woops, double post...double the awesome?

Really really nice work guys. Looks like you took a page from the walking dead for some of the designs, and that is awesome! Can't want for the final product!

I think it'd be cool.

Sacriel, Oshi for general badassery and tactical play. Frankie1080p as well for being so much nicer to common survivors and solo gameplay.

yes

YES

I had to delete my @DayZ folder and reinstall 1.7.2.5 manually. Not running the latest beta anymore either. Waitin on servers to update to it. That will fix your problem. Just grab the mod again from DayZ commander or the latest.torrent from the homepage here.

CHAINSAW And just about everything else others have said.

Still not working. What the fuck am I supposed to do. Uninstall and reinstall it? I did that two days ago....ahhh!

Thanks, Jackster. I don't get it. So BE is still broken? Why is the error for this that I have been kicked. I now have the latest beta and it still didn't solve the issue. Battleye needs to fix their shit quick. This is getting lame.

Same problem. I can't play the game at all today. I was fine last night, but now I am just getting "You have been kicked from the server" and that is all. I don't know why. Running 1.7.2.5 and beta 95883 (downloading 95913, but it is taking a half hour?? for a 9mb file, wtf.) Not sure what is up. I only use dayz commander since 6 launcher has decided to suck lately.

wow, that sux. thanks BE!!!

please search the recent threads below before posting...

If battleye kicks you, you aren't banned. So it isn't a big deal, especially considering this seems to be hive wide.

confirmed...by me and at least 10 others. I think this is server wide/hive issue, but idk

So creepy. Especially the longer one that features the ghillie sniper ghost. I wish all hackers were this cool.

I'm waiting it out.,...

Unfortunately I feel the same way as the OP. the game is great on paper, but with this engine and the way it is being exploited left and right...I don't care what your argument is for it being an Alpha...it can't be fixed in its current engine...ever. I really love the game, but it is getting boring doing the same thing over and over, only to be hacked or glitched or killed by a server hopper or what have you. I have enjoyed my legit deaths as I could say, "well done, you got me, fair and square" (which far outweigh the hacked ones...including a few thunderdome hacks/server nukes). But those unfair deaths have left a mark in my mind, what could I have done if I hadn't died and wasted hours upon hours getting geared up and teamed up with clan-mates only to die again? I'm not saying I'm leaving, but man, we as gamers need more to do in this game then just run for hours, encounter someone and die.

lol at the awards...

Is it really an exploit if it hasn't been addressed? No. It is an ALPHA. Let Rocket fix it, I'll just use my primary from now on. Good for you if you can consistently head-shot zeds with the 1911. I can't, especially with the unpredictable zig zag and lag that I have been experiencing since the last update.
