Disgraced

Try playing the tutorials or looking at the key binds. If you double tap it switches back and forth. You're probably quickly tapping it and therefore toggling it on and off.

I've had that happen on rare occasions. I guess there is an LL Cool J zombie out there.

Yeah, once they approve you, either the devs or the server hosting company help with that stuff. If you're not approved yet, you're probably gonna have a bad time.

Indeed, I figured something like this was out there. I usually log out like I would if I was going to hole up for a few hours. Run to that forest outside of town where nothing spawns.

You have to apply to the dev team. I think there's a thread around here somewhere... (backpack rummaging sound) Fortunately for you, my caustic mode is off at the moment. Check out the first couple of threads here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/16-server-general/

You need to disable the mod in order to play.

Seriously, the AI is something that I think the dev team has said would be worked on more... And also, I think, rocket has said that they are that fast to keep them threatening. The main problem that I see is that they stop to try to hit you, you keep moving, they lose ground, you keep moving. Verily, if you cannot outrun them, you are DNA something wrong. Learn the co trols properly. Losing them is as easy as finding a building, tree or steep hill.

Nope. Those not in the know make this suggestion just about evy day. Despite the fact that it's a zombie survival game and that we refer to them as zombies, these are more like 28 Days Later infected, not Romero-esque slow zombies. Unless the developer has a huge change of heart, your suggestion will go nowhere. As to the original post, they are not too fast. I can easily keep clear of them and aggro them on purpose. My latest technique involves leading them away from where I want to go, them losing them at a far enough distance that I just run back, grab what I want and keep moving. In the "old days" where they chased you forever.... It was a pain. You had to sneak, or kill them. I think at this point that they are too easy.

From what I've read, boats have NO storage space. When you thought you were putting things in the boat, you were just tossing them off into the ether, never to be seen again.

Nope. Creating that new character profile will end up logging you into the exact same character as the first character profile. You have to buy one license per character.

Dafuq did I just read. So... Your vehicle inventory got messed up?

So go do something else... No one cares if you laugh at them. Also, your name is childish and stupid.

So do you guys always meet in the shower? And it DOES sound a bit like you were waiting for your server hopping friend or you both were doing so, and the other guy just happened to come in first.. Last thing I'd want is an unwelcome visitor in the shower when I'm 'waiting' for my 'friend'. Anyway, it happens. I've also gotten the drop on server hoppers... In the barracks building, in fact. THey just disconnect when they see you or when they start taking fire. It's DayZ at the moment. Probably a good idea to go elsewhere. There are a lot of multiplayer games that you can play with your friend. Find something that is fun for you.

Most likely that is the name of their Windows account, since your Arma character will have that name by default. I got kicked from a server three times yesterday when... nothing happened. It's likely that you are not seeing related things, but not impossible.

Dafuq did I just read? This has to be the oddest post ever. Spam... Probably by a bot login.... To appeal to the dayz player base... For math software? This is truly surreal. My hat is off to whoever generated this wall of text. Thanks, person who is a teacher in some country somewhere, or not.

There are no fly able helicopters on game.

OH NO GUYZ. I LOGGED IN AND HAD TO RESTART. OH NO MY STUFFZ. Please get Albert Einstein to explain to Stephen Hawking so I can have my bits back! Or.... I could just realize its an alpha. Not a huge issue, and keep playing. That's what happened to me.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Fucking exploiter pussies. If the hive mind decides that admins can't ban for this, then I'm done. More wee to the server admins! One character per server! Down with the hive!

Welcome to plain stupid... Or was that a pun?

So.... All of the loot is on the ground around the helicopter? Apparently, I am in the right area. I found another this afternoon.. That's three today. I found a Bizon and I have an FN FAL in my Alice. I need to get tents Up to start storing. I lost my M14 AIM when the ground ate it trying to stick the FAL into my pack :(

So I've been schlepping two tents around in my backpack for a while and figure it's time to plop them down. Can I rely on them at all, bug-wise?

Thanks, all. I think I know what to do, now.

I'd like to know, too. The two crashes I've come upon only had one gun, in the grass (I think maybe someone else looted them first and missed what I got)... But what to expect? I'm already fighting off the zombies that spawn nearby and worrying about the players that will swarm the site based on the gunfire. I want to get in and out ASAP.

hacking is an arms' race. Sorry that you thought you wouldn't get caught, and did. Worse luck next time.
