I don't think HE was saying that, but more it's the attitude of those who log on to "not play DayZ".

What were you banned for? B)

Tonight this game showed me how bitter-sweet it can be. I spawned miles from anywhere so headed along the coast like a proper cutie. I got caught by some Zs a few times, which left me with 9000 blood. Over the next few hours I built up my gear before hitting a hospital for morphine etc. Found a Lee Enfield with 3 clips and a Makarov with 8 (!), Alice pack etc. So far so good. I was checking some apartments when I aggro'd a Z. Stupidly, I shot him with the Lee Enfield. Talk about ringing the dinner bell. Before I know it I've got Zs coming up the stairs en masse and of course I had to kill them, each shot bringing more Zs to the party. One knocked me out and I lost more blood. I came to just in time to kill the Z, which started the whole process again....Zs coming from far and wide to see what was making such a pretty sound :P I killed 30+ in that one apartment alone. As I tiptoed out, a Z attacked me through the wall and knocked me unconscious. As the timer slowly ran down, I could see the Z feasting on me. 5000 blood, down to 4000....3000....I came to again and killed the Z then decided to make a run for it, stopping in the nearby apartments to check for food. I ran to the nearby store...one can of food and not much else. Nearby barns and houses the same. Went into a cafe and found a tin of beans (YES!) and a bandage. Next up was the firehouse, where I found an AKM with 3 mags and a PDW with 2 mags. Things are looking up! I then headed straight for the nearest wood and was fortunate enough to bag a wild boar and a goat within minutes of each other. One BBQ later and at last my screen had colour back...not quite 12000 but close enough. I spotted a barn a little way off and aggro'd the surrounding zombies so that I could easily slay them once inside. I ran full-tilt into the barn and as I neared the far door I heard a gunshot....I was hit in the back. As I turned around I saw a survivor on the upper floor. I must have been badly injured as I don't think I landed one shot before he fired two more times and killed me. The air turned blue. I lost: Alice pack AKM PDW M9 Makarov Map Compass Watch Binos Epi-pen Bloodbag Morphine 4 frag grenades and the usual bandages, soda etc. I spawned again in the middle of &£%#ing nowhere, and then did something I've never done before. I tried to die and respawn. What seemed to happen was that I was immediately out cold, with THE SLOWEST TIMER YOU EVER SAW creeping down ever-so-slowly. When I finally came to I seemed to be in exactly the same spot as I had just spawned to. I wonder if this is one of the undocumented changes Rocket mentioned for 1.7.2.5? Anyway, to cut a VERY long story short I was being chased by Zs and ran into a long barn, and I could hear flies at the other end. Hoping to find a dead survivor (oxymoron? lol) with at least a pistol I found a dead guy wearing a ghillie suit. I gained: Coyote backpack? 24-slot one, think it's the best? M107 with 6 clips Map Compass Knife Rangefinder NVG Bloodbag Epi-pen Morphine Watch Toolbox Cooked meat Sodas but the miserable dead **** didn't have any Mountain Dew. I drank one of his Cokes to celebrate. It never tasted so sweet :D So, to finish I have a message to the guy who killed me in the barn. THANKS :D

I found one too, didn't check it for gear and rolled it onto its roof near the coast :'(

Why not? There's no evidence for him, so why are you not as quick to dismiss God as you are Bigfoot? Like what? If you say ANYTHING about the eye I'm going to punch you :P "Science adjusts its views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved." - Tim Minchin

You don't think there are aliens? You seriously think our planet is the only one among the billions out there to harbour life? You must be a fun guy at parties.

I got it too, kicked off for BE client not responding. Silly BE client.

I've never seen so much fail in one post.

That's three threads now, all reporting the same "crime" which was nothing to do with the admins anyway. Get a grip son.

There's more afoot here than Fraps.

Forward the original email to the devs, otherwise you could have just written that in notepad.

The game sold well enough because it's a solid milsim. The problem that DayZ has brought with it is that now people are buying ArmA:OA just to play DayZ, and they get pissed when it's so buggy/unforgiving. Some people really would be better off playing L4D2 or Dead Island :S

Exploits, injected code, hell I don't know how they do it I just know that they can. Ask the devs. Studying computer science is all well and lovely, but it hasn't stopped you coming on a forum and accusing admins of abuse and of using powers THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE. Take an hour out of your "computer science" studies and read the FAQs at least before spouting your rubbish.

Was it necessary for both of you to make a separate thread? This was surely down to hacks. I don't think server admins can do any of that stuff.

I'm pretty sure that was a hacker. As far as I know, server admins can't spawn items in or do any of the things you just accused them of.

I can't believe the survivor didn't take so much as a Bizon and mags, never mind sardines or (heaven help us) your BEANS? :beans: :lol:

I think what he means is that there a lot of admins who don't like the rules and are of the mindset "it's my server and I run it how I like" which of course is rubbish. The software running on your server is licenced to you and you must abide by ALL conditions set by the developers, otherwise you can play something else.

Uhh never mind forget I said anything. I've got nothing :P

I also had an idea of using cigarettes ingame to counter 'stress'. The panicky gasping that your character does could be countered by a smoke, with the following effects: - Panicking stops - Blood *drops* by 100 units (whoever said a smoker should start with MORE blood....it should be the opposite) - Run speed reduced by 5% for a limited time...say 5 minutes? - Smoke attracts zombies within a radius of x square metres Long term use of cigarettes: - Run speed penalty increases by a further 1% for each pack of cigarettes used up to a maximum of 15% total run speed for character's life - Character has x% chance of developing a cough, which is involuntary and happens at random moments, and/or character's normal breathing is slightly louder than normal. Further ingame item of cough syrup used to counteract this? - Cigarette addiction meter which functions in the same way as food and water meters, but does not become active until character has smoked x cigarettes The possibilities for such things are really interesting...

I switch between the two as and when I need to. Having said that, I don't check for 3DP on or off when I join a server. I join and use whatever the server tells me I can use. A nice compromise would be allowing 3dp but disabling the crosshair. Then you at least have to use ironsights to shoot and thus cannot avoid the shaky aim effects when in combat. At the end of the day, it's a choice. If you don't like it, don't use it but don't you dare tell me that I'm not allowed to. The only people who can do that are the server ops or the mod creator himself.

Gee I don't know....binding the "surrender" key would be a good start though :P

This worked wonders for me too. Now I can record and game even in rain/long grass without suffering from poor fps.

I bet they don't annoy you as much as your useless comment annoyed me.

All of these people claiming that they'd kill for food/water if shit got real are just trying to come off macho. I say trying because it's not fooling anybody. A tiny minority would no doubt commit these acts, but I'd wager that they are the ones who already have psychological issues IRL. Anybody arguing the toss on these forums about how they'd be all "shoot first, ask questions later" is probably 12 years old. Or retarded.

That's a great idea. A 15-30 second "log off" timer which stops and keeps them in the game if the person logging off gets hit by a Z or another player. There is an issue with people who's connection drops...if my broadband line failed and I wasn't logging off...what would the game mechanic be to handle this, and once that mechanic is in the game, working and advertised, what's to stop people unplugging their router to "log off" without penalty?
