Disgraced

I try to keep circumstances such that when they run at me, I run to somewhere that I can get that headshot. Usually buildings and low slung pine trees. I figure if theyre going to run unrealistically, I can take advantage and kill them however I need to.

I like PDW with SD mags. It still kills with a headshot and doesn't aggro the whole block.

Part of a clan's responsibility is to watch out for things like this. You have failed to avoid the appearance of being hackers. You are sullied in the public eye.

It like to see both, actually. I've seen people rationalize that the 12000 is a representation of quantity of blood... But I'd be in a lot more trouble at 8000 than in game effects would seem to indicate :)

Zombies are not scaled up based on the type of server. What was your health when you are hit? If below 8K blood, there is a chance of this happening.

You looted the same site and the same drop points? I think sometimes people miss things in the grass. Maybe you missed something and it was still there when you came back? All of them that I've found I assumed were previously looted. They either had zombies only of stuff that people discarded or one high end gun in the grass somewhere with no ammo (I assume someone grabbed the ammo but already had the gun).

Isn't that a question for Bohemia Interactive? It's ironic, though. The supposed saving grace of this buggy game with awkward controls has always been "realism". But it seems to get less and less realistic all the time. No endurance- I can run forever. No encumbrance- I can carry how many full Jerry cans? And tires... I would expect a realistic bullet model to be something more than x hit points per hit. That's just lame.

They tried saluting for a while, but nothing works any more, except being dead.

I use the PDW as a sidearm and mp5 mags, hoping for SDs. This leaves all of those slots open for bandages, so I usually pick them up because, why not? I think that equipment-wise, forgetting bandages is the single easiest way to die. Pistol magazines. The silent killer.

You can lose (please note, one o. Not two. ), stuff when swimming, depending on the server. There is a server side flag that toggles that feature on and off. The only time the original question ever came up for me, the boat was far out in the water and I swam in and lost my stuff. I'd be interested if, with this new flag on, if while swimming a boat could be refueled....

Helicopters were not brought back with the patch. If servers catch up the the latest hive, they are eligible. It's a database change that will apparently start in about 24 hours.

I feel your pain!

My apologies..... chief... But I was responding to the OPs statement that there needs to be "lots and lots" of zombies. And I agree. Critical loot should be more rare, and extremely long range weapons should be nigh impossible to get. As the mod is in beta, there is no gameplay testing going on, though. Only engine concepts. As long as there is duplicating, there is no such thing as rarity.

Ah, I see. I wonder about the same thing (as far as when they would respawn). What I've read unofficially is after a couple of days, on a server restart, they will spawn (hence admins restarting servers, sometimes, I would suppose). I am also wondering how hiding them off map will work, because EVERY ONE will be kept off map. The way I recall, if someone flies it off map I to the wilderness where no one else can find it, all they have to do is save it at certain intervals (probably less than 24 hours). Ander or Vipeax, is that pretty much accurate? Because this just puts them in clan hands who can rotate members in to keep that off the map. Hopefully, no matter what happens, something off map will eventually despawn (so the server admin can send friends near the spawn points, restart the server and respawn and grab the helicopter before normal players)... Just wondering.

I don't think they've been put in yet. I think that's in 24 hours or so. Putting the helicopters in is a database change, not included in the patch.

I'm glad I'm not playing on THAT server!

Probably prep for helicter release. Or the usual admin/clan hoarding of fun stuff like vehicles. I know that I expect all of my stashed stuff to be gone after the weekend.

Are you daft? That's like rejecting a house because it's only a frame. You may be surprised to find that things like the respawn are experiments and rocket and the guys are trying to see now things go over. Incidentally, every time you hit the respawn button, it creates a new character in the hive that stays there. Every time. I'm not sure why they aren't deleted, but respawn spamming is a huge drain on the hive that serves all the servers. Let these guys develop and stop expecting the mod to do everything you want, every patch. TL;DR: learn to alpha.

You know there's a hospital outside of the elektro/cherno area?

Couldn't agree more. You've got guys posting their kill counts to brag, these days, and guys putting in apologetic comments when their screenshot kill counts are not high enough. Ah well.

Wow, this really is just buggy, slow motion COD. Where are the leader boards and achievements?

Wait... You.... Downloaded when you were on vacation? WTH? Also, it's not a new excuse: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/35193-global-ban-due-to-being-hacked/page__hl__vacation

Can someone post a link to where on reddit rocket announces this stuff?

I found one in the loot spawn on ..... Green Mountain!

Yes. Easy mode map settings. These kinds of things ruin the game.
