Addicted (DayZ)

Heard this story before. Lemme go get my popcorn....

Was going to get back on topic, but I think I'm just gonna avoid this one altogether

My vote is no, if only because of the cheaters/hackers that are running rampant, let alone the negatives you've already mentioned. Imagine being tied to a server that the troll cheater is also locked to. No thanks.

Hah I love rocks! If I've aggro'd some zombies, I lead them to the nearest rock, climb up and laugh at their lack of rock walking skills whilst I taunt them with my pewpew. All hail the rock, zombie defier!

I think this would be a great idea. Seeing as we're on the subject, how do you lower your main? Never figured that out, derp.

Head east, sea on the right. You need to be at Cap Golova http://dayzdb.com/map#3.066.132

Are you disconnecting quite quickly after logging in each time? I think a defensive mechanism was implemented against DC'ers whereby if anyone DC's several times in relatively short succession you would be in shock for a few minutes upon logging back in again. It happened to me after I disconnected from a couple of really laggy servers in a row to try and find one that wasn't lagging. Only thing I can think of for your predicament.

Erm, no you don't. I managed to rack up about 15 silent zombie kills the other day in Elektro with no injuries sustained using just the hatchet. You're doing it wrong.

Just one glorious word. Hatchets.

Debug plains/forest etc. It's a well known issue. Basically means you've spawned outside the western or northern boundaries of the game map. If you want to spend time getting out, head southwest. Word of warning, you may have spawned far enough away that the trek might take you up to 45 mins! If you can't be arsed/don't have good gear or gear you care about, just respawn

I've considered turning medic myself recently. I think being the med supplies hoarding support mechanism armed with only an M911 that rushes to my co-horts aids would satisfy me immensely :)

This thread made me lol, because I saw NorthernLion (youtuber) do this to someone on his letsplay. From what I've seen, I think a little message pops up in your top left corner (a corner none of us ever pay attention to) that says 'Player X is accessing your backpack' Whether or not this is still in function I can't say.

The Hive seems to have stabilised recently after the last update, so I don't believe it's a mass effect you're experiencing. No way to tell if your problem is a server side/ping/crappy connection issue etc. It's not so bad considering it was taking 30 minutes to log on not so long ago :P I haven't had any problems (UK/EU area) for about 5 days now

Different people seem to be reporting different zombie behaviour atm. 1. Super aggro zombie. Will spot you from 500m away when only on 0 or 1 bar of visibility. 2. Super dead zeds. Don't see you even if you walk up to them and kiss em on their dead lips. 3. Normal zeds wth reasonable/expected aggro range. I think it's just a case of bugged out zombies with the latest update. I personally have experienced all three of the above examples on different servers

I've often found a shit tonne of DMR mags in the military tents at Zino. Far better chance of spawn > time consumed visiting deer stands.

I know! But on my hunt for chopper crashes the amount of DMR mags I didn't pick up makes my cry a little now lol. Time to head to Zino

I have the same reaction. My philosophy is (if they weren't a damned hacker) to say 'Kudos to you, good sir! I hope you enjoy the loot because your DayZ kung-fu got the better of me when I had my guard down.' When I die with good loot, I take comfort in the fact I gave a little happiness to a stranger in an unforgiving world

You can create multiple character names if you launch Arma II and create a new profile. However it's still linked to whatever character you currently have in existence in DayZ, just with a different name. In order to do this you have to make sure you're not logged into Sixlauncher if you use it. Once a new character name has been created, exit Arma II and launch Sixlauncher, join a server. Your existing chracter in game will spawn as you left it but with your most recently created profile name. However, as for creating 2 completely seperate characters, no. As previous posts advise, you have to purchase a new copy and obtain a new key.

Can these threads be merged please? Not being an arse, but I think it's really a very hot topic right now and it would be a shame to lose some good posts just because they are spread so thin over so many threads. Thanks for listening Edit : and maybe stickied for good measure :P just because they're starting to clog up the forum somewhat

Sigh. You're right. I give up.

Damn, I need to find some better heli crashes for sure! M14 Aim is the best firepower I've found so far

Yup. Shameless plug: http://dayzmod.com/f...-admin-request/ And the reason us 'mini admins' as you like to call anyone who thinks a forum shouldn't be a quagmire of the same thing repeated over and over exist is to try and stop the same threads repeatedly appearing and clogging up the more interesting threads. But you're just another common troll, so have fun with that.

64 players, full server. But I had a ping of 93 and my dual core doesn't perform as well as the big boys so I only had an FPS of about 20, max.

See my thread on this subject. I really hope an admin reads it/takes it seriously soon! http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/38332-war-z-thread-admin-request/

That seems a bit of an overkill spawn/not entirely convinced... usually I only get a few mags of something or another, maybe a couple of med supplies and 2 guns max. I guess congrats are in order :s
