Open Arma2 OA with the dayz mod running/installed (should say @Dayz on the main menu) Click multiplayer - click "remote" and there you can enter IP and port

With everyone always complaining about PvP and all I almost always try and stay out since everyone plays differently and always will, just the way it is. I think in a true survival of the fittest desperation situation, a lot of us would have no problem killing to survive or protect those close to us but seeing a newly spawned unarmed person running for their life and killing that person to me is just stupid and wrong. See below - even at the end of the world there are standards. Saw this on reddit today though and couldn't help but notice how well it fit (even better that it came from another zombie game!)

Haha, no.... a dumpster, didn't search it for loot.....yet.

You're right... no such thing

I just heard some flies buzzing while walking outside at work.... I then actually looked/checked the treeline all paranoid just out of habit. Then realized WTF I was doing. Too many hours in the game, yikes.

PDW = Legit PDW SD = Not Legit

If our stuff respawns (server wiped it all out - or at least I think) I could probably spare an ATV for a price.

If the server has chat enabled (which it did), and the players currently all chime in on who the guilty party is (one guy happened to NOT be in the barn/warehouse and DIDN'T die), couldn't the admin of that server kick/ban that player? Sorry the rant should have been about shitty admins in said server, not a shitty server. .... in this situation there was clearly a hack, multiple people all pinpointed the guilty party and no action was taken, with an admin present..... to me that is a poorly run server. Pretend our server is a restaurant.... pretend that all the folks on the server are customers of that restaurant who also handle the food..... pretend than the manager is sitting there watching everyone prepare food and eat...... pretend one more time that every single person in that restaurant but one gets food poisoning and the sick people are pissed. The manager simply does nothing and lets the guy who poisoned everyone continue to handle food at his restaurant.

Just trying to spread awareness of a server's hacker population. My guess (and only a guess since I'm not a hacker) is that they probably have a home server with goodies (to avoid having to generate new shit everytime) or server hop to populated areas just to screw with people. It was a public service announcement - do what you will with it.

The server had chat enabled and admin present .... this event happened, everyone complained via " / " and zero people were booted from the game. .... I'm not blaming the server for it happening, I'm blaming them for not taking any action.

US188 tonight (7/23/2012) @ 9:35 CST - Every player on the server was teleported to a warehouse with no exit ..... everyone died. Bullshit. Server has been blacklisted by friends and I, I suggest others do the same.

1. What do you have / willing to give up for NVGs 2. I've never traded - how do people usually do it without some sort of mass murder happening?

My 6850 (fairly cheap card) plays it smooth as silk on highest settings .... anytime I see a drop in FPS it is usually followed by a, "SERVER RESTART IN 5 MINUTES - SAVE PROGRESS" .... so it isn't on my system but the server I'm on.

This.

If someone is far away from me, looks unarmed, and I can keep on eye on them.... I won't shoot. If someone pops around the corner, odds are I'm shooting. If someone has a gun and is coming my way, odds are I'm shooting.... When I have a pile of good gear, I am not risking my progress in the game/survival for someone who is most likely a wild card. Last night I was watching over Starry with a while another friend looted. As my friend is down there (we're in Vent together) he says someone in the VOIP chat says they're in the next tent - please don't shoot they are friendly and need food (which we have)... my friend has him crawl out and face away so he can evaluate that for himself (Check his bag etc etc). This guy does what he is told and my friend is working on giving him bandages and some food and then we would send him on his way... while I'm watching I see another guy creep out from by the port-o-potty area around the back to be able to shoot by buddy from behind (they had the same tags so they were clearly together). I tell him on vent what is going on and that I'll take care of this other guy, just try and distract for a minute.... he says something that the "helpless" guy clearly relays to his buddy trying to flank my friend.... the flanker stops for just long enough while they're talking for me to get a DMR shot to his chest.... down, but not dead yet. Right after that my buddy yells to the "helpless" guy to get in the tent, someone else is here (obviously he knew it was me).... so they're in there hiding and the "helpless" guy was antsy to get out and go "loot" (or heal) his buddy..... after like 30 seconds my buddy says, "OH go ahead and heal your friend, but only after I loot any weapons or usable gear...." He then told me this guy was swearing like crazy that we "Were hacking" or there was no way we could know they were together. Long story short, we took his friends goods, healed him up so they could stay together and told them to run east while we watched.... about 200m away I shot them both (not dead).... so they had to wait to bleed out or crawl to safety. .... anyways, after this I am never trusting anyone again, these guys were clever enough to try and set us up - too bad it backfired.
