-Omerta-

between endless servers with no gear, server abusing admins, hackers, and bogus glitches/spawns and watching items go poof i just can't take it anymore. Another 7+ day in game life killed by a hacker. After spending over 10 hours today searching over 15 servers from stary to krasno for vehicles i finally find a bicycle on a daytime server only to have a guy in a ghillie suit and a thermal as50(you can't find both of these items atm) poof onto my bike and after killing him 5 times and watching him teleport all over the place i ride away only to have him teleport in front of me and kill me. I cross searched his in game name and found the forums for the hacks he uses too, what a stupid twat. I can't take wasting my time anymore, endless hours searching for shit only to find nothing, dying to random glitches, entire towns empty even after waiting 20+ minutes for stuff to spawn, and not a single vehicle in sight with hackers everywhere completely ruining this game. It's just not worth how many hours it takes to find 1 thing, and it's not the game that's messed up, it's an alpha. It's the people who make this game shit. Hackers, hoarders, Corrupt Admins, spawn killing bandits, and the list goes on. If i have to spend another 2 hours holding my W key down in any game i'm gonna literally punch a newborn baby. Jimmy rustled status: 9001 Just wish i could get all the time i wasted over and over for nothing back, and i hope the stand alone doesn't have an entire community of hackers such as these: [Redacted]

Same goes for the M4A1 Holo flashlight. Took weeks to find a bike and i finally find one on a pitch black server. i cant carry a chemlight or a flare on it as it floats in place where i got on the bike. Sigh how dumb.

All The sniper rifles other than the m107 and as50 all have the same damage, that's the problem we have here. I currently have an M4A3 CCO, M4A1 Holo (the flashlight on it doesnt work, how gay) and an M24. What they need to do is change weapon damage or let the m24 spawn more often then the DMR. Weapons chart: http://i.imgur.com/QaaKb.png Alot of the weapons in this game piss me off because of the variations and types are all too much the same. I've found all the M4 models in the airfield at the same time and if the flashlight on the M4a1 holo actually worked i would of kept it over the M4A3 CCO.

That it takes exactly 3 minutes and 30 seconds to run 1,000 Meters(test your self by using waypoints) To run from krasnostav airstrip to NWAF at 8k meters that's almost 27 minutes of me doing nothing but holding W down. TWENTY SEVEN MINUTES for me to probably end up running to my grave. This game needs an auto run just like WoW, as sad as that is to put this game in that low of a status but it is very needed. That or increase the joke of a vehicle spawn we have, it took me 2 hours to drive my 13 mph boat just to go all the way to the top right to pick up the 72mph boat, to find out a STUCK ATV with no gas and a TRACTOR were at black lake. Sigh...it's a shame krasnostav gives nothing but crap all day and with no heli's i can see why im so safe here.

For those who want to know what DayZ would be like if it ACTUALLY was an MMO, just wait a bit. "The War Z" seems to fill that cliche very nicely. I've got $10 saying the game bombs and the next list of features listed in the game will be features literally ripped straight out of dayz. http://www.pcgamer.c...llels-to-day-z/ I can't believe how identical they look, it's a shame they are probably going to murder the genre and just give plenty of ideas for dayz to steal. AKA i'd love to mow down zombies with a vehicle...gotta be able to find one first though. Regaurdless. You run in dayz for 30+ minutes non stop, not being able to toggle it is just asinine and to be honest there really isn't a single LOGICAL or "good point" to argue against having this feature added. It's non-invasive and saying other wise is just you hating the world and anyone who doesn't worship opinions outside of rocket. It could be as simple as many of the other hotkeys. You can toggle tilt left or right by double tapping, you can toggle run/walk with double shift why not toggle run with Double W? [Yes i know Double W is Sprint while normal W is Jog, but sprint only lasts like 3 seconds until you start jogging out of breath] Edit: Everyone above me didn't read any of the previous posts in this thread, disregaurd all their posts. Saying "No auto run the map is too small" is the dumbest argument/debate against adding this feature you can come up with. As stated in the paragraph above this, having auto run in this game causes not a single player to lose anything. It would be a hotkey to bind, nobody would force you to fucking bind it. Just because you enjoy holding down W for 30 minutes at a time or have the entire servers vehicles stacked in a corner doesn't mean everyone else wants to do the same thing. Again, this is a fucking game. I dont hold W to walk in real life, i don't walk through fields carrying an m16 and shooting everything that moves. So whether or not your char runs at the speed of light or as fast as a fart i should be able to toggle auto run. That way if i'm going to sit for 30 minutes i can do it holding ALT and looking around while getting ready to hit the floor without worrying about taping my fingers up to avoid blisters, like a 12 hour N64 Joystick Super Smash Brothers marathon. BTW, if you guys are going to keep coming up with the dumbest reasons in the world NOT to add a single key bind i'm sure i can come up with 1,000 good reasons supporting it for each dumb reason you came up against it.,,So i repeat, again...it's a KEYBIND, the idea is not to add 25 kill streak nukes, you kids sound like a bunch of vanilla wow mongrels or the entire Diablo 3 forums nostalgia circle jerk hate machine. Off-topic: Has anyone else noticed weird movement that happens after you try to come to a stop when running? Like if you were to step left mid sprint your guy does some weird double side step? It's kinda like the sprint to prone animation except you push A or D.

30 min of nothing but running is a very long time, especially if all the running you do just finds you dead. There are only 2 things i look at when i'm about to die: "When can i find a bigger backpack, and how long did i just spend running" You remember this is a video game....right? http://elitekeyboard...2&pid=pdkb400bn Is my keyboard, it has 45grams(your average shitty bubbleboard that most people have [cough Logitech cough]weigh around 60g.., 1 nickle is 5 grams and it would take 6 nickels to depress it. (i'm a keyboard enthusiast http://geekhack.org/ ////// http://www.overclock...-keyboard-guide ) 1. This char is going on 3 days now with 0 murders and 2 bandit kills in self defense leaving electro spawn 2. I have practically lived in Krazno and Berezino for the past 24 in-Game hours going back and forth changing servers every couple hours, The air field and tents after 15+ checks on both places literally have given me nothing. I was stuck crap until one server i found a dead guy at krazno /w a 24 slot coyote pack and an m16, 3. I have taken a 13 MPH boat from Nizhnoye to guba inlet TWO times now, at 13mph it literally took 60+ minutes each time, just to get the 72 MPH raft. Why 2 times? Server restart. 4. I went to the NWAF to look for ghillie, tents and night vision. Just so happened i got lucky today at the NWAF and in 1 run through vs 15+ checks on the crappy "low" military drop places, and double berezino markets not only did i find a ghillie, tent, and night vision. I also found an M4A3 CCO, m9 SD, AND a fuckin SVD, It doesn't stop there though, on my way out i found a heli site /w an NV FAL. So, in 1 run through of the NWAF over spending 10+ hours roaming North East Cherno land and finding squat i am now stocked and ready to spend life again in the hills, building a camp, living off the land, and taking my 72mph PBX from Rify to electro in less then 10 minutes to pick up mates while i wait for heli's to get put back in, get my hands on it and bounce before people start flocking back to krasno again. So yeah..spending 60+ minutes driving a boat, then running another 30+ minutes is pretty boring when im forced to hold the key down.. @JackFTL: you forgot the second part of my sentence that you ignorantly decided to cut in half so you could make up some kind of insult to garner attention by putting words in my mouth figuring the op has opinions you don't like or understand. That or you're just pre-pubescent Drama Whore. "as sad as that is to put this game in that low of a status but it is very needed" I quote the second half for you. Once finding out you're a narrow minded ding bat and others threw beans at your CoD-Like Tunnel Vision incompetence. All they literally did was show off their preschooler fallacies as well. It's ignorant dipshits like you that i'd shoot in game for my first murder wishing i was cleansing the real life gene pool, hopefully they won't make a second idiocracy movie and have you star in it. I highly doubt your "friendly" in game, maybe i'm wrong and all your friends just secretly hate you. I know i would. ignorant, two faced hypocrites like you need to choke on your own smugness already, because you may be "friendly" in game but you sure are an asshole everywhere else.

The funny part to him wanting human emotion like anger and shit, it doesnt come from the events that happen in the game. It comes from all the bugs the game creates. People get mad because when they do everything right shit still goes wrong. Things people CANT control like bugs and glitches. Spending 8 real hours running from town to town full of houses that cannot be looted but still has shitloads of zombies everywhere with bugged aggro ranges. It's the irl time spent, it's the people who alt F4, the admins that kick players and password their servers to get all the best gear and jump to other hive servers, it's the shooting zombies and players with 12k damage weapons 10+ times watching blood fly everywhere and watching that same zombie that would only take 1k blood on someone else break your leg, send you into a 5 minute wait period and drop you to 2k blood, Or that same player you put down relog back in 5 minutes later with full blood spawn in behind your crew and mow down everyone AKA: 2 people do the same exact thing, 1 person dies and the other doesn't. The other day i was running with 3 friends(knoob and hunter from these forums) and all of the sudden i just DIED. Running on a road in the middle of nowhere i literally died with full blood, no sickness, full water/food. Respawned with max blood into "shock" where the timer literally took 5 whole minutes to go down, and before i could hit respawn it put me back into shock for the full 5 minutes again until i ran out of blood. All of which i couldn't push ESC to respawn and restarting the game put me right back where i started all while they were watching my stuff on the ground. Nobody shot me, nothing. I get back to my body after 40 minutes of running and 1/2 of my shit is missing. Everything in my backpack went poof, 20 slot backpack full of med supplies and a m16 went poof. So either the admin console killed me(he kept kicking my friends every 5 minutes at random) because before this happened he shot me once with a FAL and i went down to 2k blood into shock and my friends killed him and took all his stuff and revived me, or the game is buggy as shit. That's where the anger and frustration comes, i could care less about other people killing me that's part of the game. It's the abusers, the glitchers, the bugs all weighed up against the amount of time spent to accomplish anything getting completely thrown into the wind by shit out of your control. All of these bugs and problems would mean nothing if it didn't take 10+ hours to accomplish the smallest shit.

I just spent 8 hours walking from cherno to the air fields. I picked up everything on the way, literally everything. I had the 2 rarest rifles FN FAL night vision with 6 clips, L85A2 with 7 clips, every tool literally everything but a guille suit. This is not the first time i've had most of this, no no. probably the 8th time. Guess what happens every single time? I get sniped by someone i should of killed but is running an alt f4 program. This game is the concept we have all been waiting for, but this is absolutely the most infuriating game i have EVER played in my ENTIRE life. 1. The bugs are the biggest threat in this game, I have died 10 fold to BUGS then anything else in this game. From glitching through floors, walls, to zombies 1 shotting me from max HP and putting me in shock for 5 minutes that i cant even ESC to suicide. 2. 90% of the time spent on this game is worthless fucking running, holy fucking god is the running terrible. There is two things i worry about every time i die, 1. My backpack and 2. How fucking far i just ran and how many hours i just spent to walk into my own grave by some random sniper or glitch. It's not the act of bandits and people killing me it's realizing how much of my fucking time i just spent feeling great finding all the best gear you can have only to have some kid already camping in the best places to be with 1 shot weapons just waiting to ruin the 8 hours you just spent hiking to your own funeral. Funny part is, my last death i saw the guy first with infa-red switched to my FAL and burst 9 rounds into him all of which didnt make contact due to... 3. The WORST hitboxes i have ever seen. It's as if you took the left 4 dead zombies and literally removed their hitboxes completely. If it's not the garbage hitboxes, it's the clunky interface randomly popping up messages and taking 10 seconds to switch weapons. 4. I've lost more weapons to infinity and beyond then i have getting killed. After 2 straight days of playing non stop, putting in 8 hours getting all the best gear, then dying over and over im done and not coming back till a full release unless SOMETHING is done about the following.. 1. Time spent traveling, and aquireing items needs to be balanced. This is absolutely the most important that needs to be worked on. Weather you increase the spawn places of items, rates of items, place tons more vehicles or just all of the above shit needs to be done. There should not be "the best and worst" places to be on the map, period. The glamour of the game will watch as players quit left and right as they finally realize the 10 hours they put into the game over and over again to reacquire the same shit over and over is not worth getting blind sided by a sniper 2 miles away or dying to magic logs of doom. There is only so many times someone is going to want to pick up a tent they can't even fucking place or use. Let alone a barn full of nothing but hatches and entire towns wiith buildings you cant even enter or loot. After my last death and playing nearly 8 hours straight aquiring the same shit i've already got 10 times over already, im not putting in a single hour again until travel is made easier. I remember at one time i literally ran and checked over 11 deer stands, and 2 grociery stores and found NOTHING but axes and tin cans. Just checking those stands and stores took over 2-3 fucking hours, to literally get NOTHING then get 1 shot from a zombie who spotted me 300 yards away. People say the game is "high risk high reward" more like "What stupid fucking way am i going to die this time after spending 10 hours looking for the same shit you've found 300 times over. 2. Alt-F4 needs to be fixed. It's bad enough everyone kills you for shit they dont need, but even worse when they miss you you shoot them, they quit, rejoin, and hit you with the shot they already missed. 3. Hitboxes hitboxes FUCKING HITBOXES 4.Every single bug that makes shit go poof, because nothing is even better then spending 8 hours getting items and not getting killed then watching them randomly go poof or spawning with all your gear gone. 5. Animation times need increased, Let us switch weapons while running, Fix all the exploits (as much as i love having unlimited shotgun, m19, and FAL ammo, it's a joke) Stop trying to implament new things and fix the MAJOR bugs. You can't go a single 60 seconds in this game without some kind of stupid crazy bug making you literally say "What the fuck" out loud. Everything in the game is one gigantic inconvenience, and the game it self is fucking easy, what makes it so fucking hard is learning how to work around the bullshit, literally unlearning how to aim because of the hitboxes, "you cant do this because you will lose that" bug learning curves, glitchers, and greifers. That's it. People keep coming back because of how long it takes just to find a fucking box of matches gives people the self entitlement of accomplishment that they keep getting over and over. Anyway, done ranting. Call me butt hurt, call me mad. Because i am mad, mad that i wasted 2+ days of non stop play to literally restart over and over again, running to the same places, picking up the same shit, dying to the same stupid glitches, and getting banned by the same abusive alt F4 server admins.in a sea of greifers to stop you from getting the same shit you've already gotten time and time again. I'd rather have to spend 1 week to find just 1 item i need like a box of matches to keep it permanitally then to waste 100's of hours getting the same shit over and over again like pokemon energy cards.

Got into a fire fight with my friends and the server admin and his crew 3 times today. We ran into him alone early this morning at the air field where he started shooting at us as we were coming in, after my friend hunter shot him with his m16 he alt-F4ed. Not 10 minutes later in the middle of our looting, he spawns back in and proceedes to kick 2 of my friends then kill me and hunter. When they both finally got back on he killed the other two. Not being little girls, we continue playing on the server, about 30 minutes later i get shot in the back by an FN FAL putting me into instant shock at 2k blood while my friends proceed to decimate him to pieces and kill him as we loot his super awesome crash site gear. Now, every 5 minutes he continues to kick 1 of us at random hopeing he catches us in a bad position. So please avoid this server and their website, they are shoot on sight butt hurt bandits who can't take their own medicine. Cheers -Omerta. PS. Between dying over and over to bugs, zombies that 1 shot me from max blood to 3k blood, broken everything, and 5 minute shock, Alt-F4ing players, and corrupt 12 year old admins this game is really showing just how mad i can get at a video game. There needs to be a log out timer where alt-F4ing leaves your char in game in place for 15 seconds even after the game closes.

Killed the admin and now he kicks me every time i join. Finally started playing with friends and realized he doesn't just kick me. He kicks everyone, him and 5 other people abusing a people free hive server that's "open" to the public to hide in plain site.

So i started playing a few days ago and have already logged well over 20 hours of pure game time, and after tons of trial and error, adjusting to the learning curve and mastering the art of zombie control and effective looting i am now looking for a partner. I have finally learned the best way to loot is to go straight for local deer stands/barns and travel north to small towns while using the dayzdb map for landmarks and after getting lucky with an ak-74 /w laser sight, m16a2(for bandits) and a full tool belt i need someone to look after my back. I have over 9 ak-74 clips and 4 m16 clips so im locked and loaded. Currently im on the outside of the stary military tents after losing my tent and my secondary weapon to a server restart. I am very very keen on not dying this time, because for everyone that knows running from the electro power plant all the way to stary sobor is a very long run. I got into a massive fire fight pinned down inside the power plant. 3 bandits fired upon me while i was looting and i ended up killing 2 of the bandits with a fresh m24 i picked up on the fly and booked it north while the 3rd was guarding their bodies. My plan of action is getting in and out of the airfield and going in solo will just get me killed. I have never found a crash site before(the dayzdb is sorta misleading after i travel to over 8 marked sites). After the airfield it's off to krasnotav to start building a heli, We can foot it or take a detour down to vybor and see if we cant get our hands on a vehicle. Anyway, here's the guide lines or what im looking for 1. You must have a mic, we can use skype, mumble, vent, anything is fine but VOIP is a must. 2. I dont care about what gear you have or how long you played. If you're new to the game that's fine i'd love to teach you the basics and ropes. Keep in mind though that i dont plan on going shore side to pick you up. 3. Nobody under 18 please. 4. If you betray and backstab me i will dedicate an entire month of stalking you, i dont like murder and avoid killing people as much as possible. If you have a shoot on sight mentality please seek other companions. At most i'd stick people up before gunning them down. Cheers -Omerta Steam: engagingdarkness skype: AdventDeicide Edit: please understand that i'm very paranoid. Just 30 minutes ago i spawned into a server with 4 guys in front of me at the stary tents and after getting spotted by 1 guy i opened fire and apparently killed an admin that was sneaking up behind me and before i could loot his alice pack(i only have a czec) i got kicked from the server. In my entire time of playing i only met 2 friendly while doing zig-zags trying to snipe both of us and the other i met in my first hour of playing and gave my life to the 50 zombies chasing him by stopping in front of them (i had no gear anyway)

Bump. I sent Friend requests on skype to 2 of you and no response. Looking to play now.

I to would love to get on board with TAB my steam is engagingdarkness

Hey, sorry i'm not really looking for a big party of people. As enticing as that sounds the larger your group the more threatening you appear to others and immediately provoke other player fire fights and even other players stalking you. That and big party's kinda take the thrill out of obtaining the things you want/need. I'm on at any given time of the day and week for extended periods of time, as far as servers go i really like to stay on daylight servers as much as possible even though night time looting is easy as pie compared to the elven eyes zombies have during the day. It's not the zombies i'm afraid of though. At most a party of 3(including my self) is ideal for my plan of action.

So i've spent the last 2 days getting mindlessly addicted to this game, and after finally finding a decent server and learning to use the dayzdb map and learning landmarks i finally got tons of awesome gear by raiding deer stands and small towns. Found an aks-74 cobra in a deer stand, m1911, map, watch, compass, binoculars, tons of food/water, matches, hunting knife anyway you get the picture. When every other time i run for 5-8 hours non-stop and find absolutely nothing having this gear makes me feel like a 12 year old finding my first charizard card. Anyway, i decided i wanted to change to a server with +8 GMT time since it's 3 in the morning and the game is so buggy that i dont want to watch my m1911 or AKS go poof by trying to mainhand a flashlight (learned that mistake TWICE the hard way by trying to main hand my axe and flashlight). To my suprise when i try to join another server, i have NOTHING. So by doing a few googles i couldn't come up with anything on how the fuck are new players supposed to tell the difference between public and private dayz servers with six launcher? After playing for 10+ hours straight of dying over and over to spawn point camping bandits and zombies that see me across entire fields while prone crawling I REALLY don't want to make the same "non-hive" server mistake again. The server i was playing on was IL 4361 which says [VETERAN]3DP:ON]CH:ON[GMT-6] dayzmod.com - Hosted by US Border wars. So how the fuck am i supposed to know that was a private server? Every server says "dayz" as a mission.

IT doesnt fucking matter anyway, tried switching backpacks using the "safe" method http://dayzwiki.com/...?title=Backpack and lost fucking everything. EVERYTHING in this game randomly fucking dissapears no matter what you fucking do and it's dumb as fuck. "oh hey, wanna pick up that item? Better not have it equipped or POOF!" "Dont go fill your water bottle, POOF!" Thank god i got this awesome new backpack to hold all my stuff right?! Edit: Just glitched into a wall and died, losing my backpack anyway. W/e, done until at least beta comes out. Not gonna run around swinging my gun axe that hits enemies farther then a shotgun does but bullets don't do shit against the worst hitbox zeds of all time /w randy savage muscles, sonar hearing, & elf like vision. where the only humans in a 75 man server are sitting at an air field or spawning camping to shoot on sight.

I KNOW what hive and private mean...did you even read my post? HOW are we supposed to tell what servers ARE PRIVATE and what servers ARE PUBLIC on the six launcher list?
