I haven't tried this update yet. But from what i've read, there's this huge problem people have with brand names of cans... Seriously? It's great the community is involved but it seems it's getting a little bit too involved. Now the developers had to take the time to remove these cans and make posts on the forums about it. Thanks, you delayed the game even more over can names.

My problem with vehicles comes down to two words, "Cap" and "Clans". The vehicle cap on servers is too low, and the vehicles that are on the servers are usually sitting in a clan base somewhere along with many other vehicles. These clans collect and hog most of the vehicles that are available. You can't change how clans act, they should be able to collect vehicles and keep them for them selves, that only leaves one option: More vehicles. But i don't think vehicles should that common either, it sort of takes the fun out of it. I remember months back when i was playing with a group of friends, we had been playing almost non-stop for days. We had a pickup and 4 ATV's. When we went out of our base we took all the vehicles and drove in a convoy, the pick up infront and the ATV's following in line, our vehicles were stock full of weapons, and so were we. Just driving like that was amazingly fun, but i don't think it would've been that fun had we not have to work for it, this convoy was a medal of our hard work and i think that's what made it so special. Don't get me wrong though, i think finding vehicles is too hard, and even if you find one and it's damages, repairing it can take forever. But it can't be too easy either. There needs to be a middle ground. Our base with all our gear and vehicles was eventually attacked, we were there to defend it but after 1 and a half hour of fighting, we lost. It was night and i'm pretty sure they had the L85. We were 6 against 2 (i think), but we lost. After 3 of us had died, we decided to take the vehicles and as much gear as we could and bail. We managed to save 2 vehicles and some gear. Loosing that sucked, but that was part of the fun.

I think the rough estimate is before Christmas :)

I hope you can shoot through those windows. Imagine being in the house and engage in combat with someone on the outside. Never seen it happen in the Day-z mod. So this would be a welcome feature.

You act like everyone isn´t understanding you and refusing to accept your opinion... They´re not. They are replying with solid arguments and THEIR opinions. The reason they are being rude is because you are essentially asking for the game to be a little bit easier. This is a survival game and it´s supposed to be hard, and as it is right now, it´s too easy. The "Best" weapon in the game isn´t supposed to be your ultimate goal, surviving is. And i honestly don´t see why you need the best weapon to survive, your tactical approach is what matters. A guy with a 50 caliber can´t do shit against you if he can´t see you.

As far as i know, this was not a bug, but a hack. I´ve heard stories of hackers doing exactly what you described.

The Happening.

The bugs that i find most annoying right now, is the inventory bugs (Losing items due to bugs) Examples: 1. Dropping weapons on the ground makes them disappear. 2. Putting weapons in the backpack but the backpack is full or doesn´t have enough slots, also makes the weapon disappear. 3. If you lose connection to the server and connect again, items you recently put in your inventory are gone. This bug seems to be pretty random. Sometimes i don´t lose items i got minutes ago before the server shuts down, and sometimes i loose stuff i got 30 minutes before the shut down. 4. Many more i simply don´t remember right now, point is, a inventory upgrade would be fantastic :) And while i´m here, i know of an exploit. The 45./m1911 ammo can be exploited. If you take a clip that isn´t full and convert it, the clip fills up. (I have actually not seen this bug myself as i hate using exploit, so i´m not a 100% on the details, but a friend i was playing with was telling us about this while we were playing)

hello. I´ve been playing Day-Z a lot with my mates for the last few days. During those days there are 2 incidents that i don´t think were accidental. 1. We killed and stole a car from 3 guys, minutes later, the server restarted and when we log back in the car is gone. 2. I sniped 3 guys, killed them all, i got 3 murders added to my debug monitor. Just 1-2 seconds after that, the server restarts and when i get back, my Murder count in the debug monitor went back to 0. This happened on 2 seperate servers. I know servers can crash, but i just find this to coincidental and i suspect that in both cases, the "victims" were servers owners who somehow abused their power and rolled back the server or something (If that´s possible). Could this be possible, or am i reaching? :)

Agreed, and the same goes for ammo. I´m practicly never empty. I´ve been alive with a character for a while, wielding a revolver and a DMR, i find ammo for those guns as fast as i spend them. I´ve left ammo beind because i was full. I´m always with a group of 2-5 though, but still. Our group is usually so stock full of guns and ammo that we leave behind military grade guns and ammo. I think the same goes for solo (if you know what you´re doing). I died the other day and got seperated from my group. I had to run north to find them again. On my way i found the CZ Sniper, 2x double barrel shotgun, Einfeld, AKM and a silanced M9. 3 of those guns were all in the same barn. I probably got a little lucky THAT time, but it´s still way to common. A part of the Day-Z experience is managing your supplies, if you´re solo and don´t know the map it can be a challenge but if you´re in a group of more than 2 then you simply don´t have to worry. I wan´t to worry, i wan´t to choose my shots carefully so i don´t waste ammo, i want the survival feeling.

Well, this sort of cheating must exist since so many agree. Whether my cases were a result of cheating i will never know for sure. Thank you all for the answers :) @Nigey I just might check on your server next time. It has GMT-6 which we seek, so we can play in the sun after dinner time (We are in GMT 0) And since you answered this then you´re most likely not of those dishonest admins. Just hope the lag is low ;)

I don´t know the method in which you ban users. But can´t they just buy a new game (New Serial)? Edit: I am not trying to find a way to get unbanned. I´m not even banned, playing happily with friends ;) Just wondering if there´s a easy way for hackers to play again, if it´s as easy to just buy a new game, then i suggest finding a better solution.

My story is a highlight from my first group play. I´m not very good and telling stories, but i´ll try my best. There were 4 of us, we were traveling between small towns one by one. When we were close to the next town, we hear gunshots from it, our sniper guy scopes out the town but didn´t see anyone. So we decided to skip this town and head to the next. Between this town and the next is an open field with one road going through it, to avoid being out in the open we go to the tree line and walk among it. Suddenly someone said "Car!", we all look to the road on our left and we see a car storming down the road heading to our target town, those were probably the same guys we heard shooting. Our Sniper guy tries taking a shot at the car, not hitting any of the passengers, we were unsure if they were aware they were being shot at. We kept an eye on the car until he vanished into the next town, the town we intended to go. We talked about what we should do, and finally decided to try to hunt these guys down. We approach the town carefully, our sniper like always was somewhere else getting a good oversight of the town and keeping watch. When we get to the town about 15 minutes later, we were beginning to suspect they were gone. So we went into barns and houses to get some supplies, still keeping a eye on that car, in case they weren´t gone. But after having scavenged the whole town, we decide to leave. We talked about our next destination, we saw a large empty field down the road, and someone mentioned that there´s a chance that a helicopter could spawn there, we didn´t intend to repair it, just to get supplies. After a little walking, we spot a broken down helicopter. There were a lot of zombies surrounding it so we walked slowly towards it. After we got as close as we could without alerting the horde, we make a plan to send one guy to investigate while the other 3 lie down in the grass. The investigator manages to get to the helicopter without being detected and loots some important supplies. This time our sniper was not keeping watch but was with us on the field. Then, all hell broke loose. One of us spotted the car on our right side, only about 50 meters away from us, there were 3 of them stadning around the car, doing what i´m not sure. They hadn´t seen us yet because we were down in the grass. Someone yells "Attack", we stand up and start spraying bullets. I get hit but i continue shooting, our sniper guy gets hit, falls to the ground and dies. I manage to kill one of them and one of our guys kills another, only leaving one alive. It got worse, we alerted the zombies that were surrounding the helicopter and they came at us. While we were dealing with the zombies, the third guy tries to flee, he runs to his car, gets in and starts driving away, we were not gonna let him escape so we shot at the car, killing the driver very quickly. Just like that, we had a car full of supplies, we re-arm and go on our way and continue to have fun. This was a great moment, the gun battle lasted about 10 seconds but it felt like much longer, my heart was beating like crazy. By far the best moment i´ve had in a video game.
