hahaha, I'm just going to blame everything on Green Mountain from now on. Maybe my log files are hidden at Green Mountain too!

As far as I know, your 4 shots should have broken that window. I heard an empty can can even break it, but I haven't had the opportunity to try that personally. Looks like a bug, yeah.

I do! Adds a whole new level of challenge haha. Given the amount of PvP flame war on the forums, I've actually died WAY more to bugs than to these sniper bandits which are apparently rampant. I was just wondering if it was because I logged off near or on something I shouldn't have. Makes sense I suppose. Better just the one infected than the 10. You (or anyone else) wouldn't happen to know where these log files are located would you?

So, I log in today only to find that my legs are broken. Odd because I don't remember logging off last night with broken legs. I think to myself, "Whatever, I'm not too far from Cherno, and I have a gun. Off to the hospital I go" I start crawling over, and I get a "you were kicked off the game" message. I just rejoin thinking it's a bug or something. The broken legs bug was more annoying, so a simple d/c or kicked isn't going to stop me! I'm determined! While I'm crawling on over, I see a fellow survivor running around training 10+ zombies. I just watch him laughing (sorry buddy haha), but then out of no where one of the zombies he is training aggros me from around 50-60m out while I'm prone behind some tall grass. I take the shot since I can't run, and shortly after I see the survivor get mauled to death by the infected chasing him. I start to crawl my way to his dead body to see if he by any chance has anything I can use, but I get the "you were kicked off the game" message again. I decide the guy running probably had nothing of importance on him and join a different server. I resume my crawling to Cherno hospital. A few minutes later, again, "you were kicked off the game." I keep trying different servers, but I keep getting kicked. At this point, I figured it can't be angry admins kicking me for doing something. So after a rather bug-filled hour or two of trying to play, I have a few questions. 1) Has anyone else ever logged in to broken legs, and is there anything I can do to prevent this? I heard logging out too close to trees or vehicles can make you explode, so I never do that. Similarly, is there anything that makes you break your legs? 2) If a zombie is aggroed by someone else, are the chances of them seeing you increased even if you are being Solid Snake level of sneaky? Are their "senses heightened" or something? 3) What's with the "you were kicked off the game" message I keep getting? Do I have a bad copy of the ArmA beta patch or DayZ files? Or was it honestly just bad luck and dealing with dicks of admins in the 5 servers I tried?

Great hunt down Psychobob. I loved that you did it with an ax too. And I applaud you in not killing that helpless guy you wanted to "ax a question." Poor fellow didn't even realize to take cover when you said there were snipers around. To that second sniper: please uninstall the game. Edit: to the first sniper as well, please uninstall. (just read the comments saying his sniper was hacked in)

I think I side with Zed on this one even though everything at this point is speculation. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but the fact that the mods have deemed worthy to pin a thread called "ArmA 3 (and DayZ)" probably hints that it's going in that direction. Who knows for sure though.

Like Max said, welcome! The forums are, as they always are for every game, a rough place to be haha. You'll have more fun in-game than here :) But on topic, more players isn't a bad thing. I love how people think it is.

I just listened to the entire interview while I did some work real quick. Even though it's somewhat long, I encourage others to listen to it. Rocket is pretty down to earth, calm, and has some cool ideas up his sleeves. I especially like the part where he says people need to chill out on the forums :) Great post Mourek (and obviously great interview Sidestrafe and Rocket)

I honestly can't take any of this seriously... I think the way people play games can never be compared to life. The death penalty in this game, while harsh, is not ANYWHERE NEAR the death penalty for the real world. Even though in game we play a certain play style, the truth of the matter is in real life we would all react differently. Over my gaming career, across all games, I've probably killed hundred of thousands of NPCs/players. Now, do you know how many REAL people I've ever kill in real life? ZERO. So it's all bullshit to talk about "well in real life, I'd party with my 3 closest friends and shoot everyone else on sight" or "I'd run around giving blood bags to the injured because I'm the white knight." Chances are, you'd be shitting your pants waiting to die like most of us. There's going to be a time when we're going to have to come to face the fact that this is a game. I'd rather be entertained and having fun than seriously debating what I'd actually do in a zombie apocalypse.

omg, I just came on the forums to post a new thread asking what people listen to while playing. You just took my idea and made it 1000x better! I would absolutely love to have a radio station like this. Your comparison to ThreeDog in fallout is perfect. Like others have said, if you came on from time to time to "advertise" or rant about some DayZ happenings, man, that would be awesome! Great idea Edit: There is a 4 disc jazz collection called "A Night Out with Verve." The discs are wining, dining, dancing, and romancing. Great collection, and anything from this collection I feel like would be great on the station :)

I think it's RaimpsLP. And please do. Bring back screenshot for proof and you'll win all the beans!

I'm actually really surprised and disappointed he said that. I don't see how VOIP is any more "realistic" and immersive than a global channel. If he has such a boner for the ArmA engine, shouldn't he encourage people to actually use it with direct channel?

I don't think he meant the "rage" infection. I think he mean't the coughing from having your temp drop. Although I might have misinterpreted what he was saying.

I just skimmed through the video, but not only was the "commentary" boring as hell but the gameplay was disgusting to watch. Don't support these guys. Don't watch their videos.

This isn't me, but someone posted this video here a few nights ago. One of my favorites though.
