Heatmap = South coast + NW airfield + largest towns. Do you really need a map for that. Simply go into a server with high population and you will see where most action is... South is a warzone, and north is almost deserted.

I also use editor a lot to test out weapons, practice sniping, try out vehicles, etc. It is highly not recommended to learn how to fly a heli only when you find it in DayZ :D

Open arma 2 editor and you will get Chernarus without zombies...

Yes - I have artifacts too. Near stary sobor these are fucking horrible - I almost considered alt-f4 (I never do that) while running from zeds there. Why can't the devs simply remove these models from game until it is 100% certain that the issue is fixed.

If there were cities that big, then vehicles should be a lot more common than they are now.

There are some servers in the server list with something like that in their name (but they are not passworded)... And sometimes there is also something like "you might lose your character". Is this allowed - or just some clans use servers named like that to hoard vehicles and gear? Because many players will be afraid to lose their progress and will not join such servers. Some of SE #500 servers are named like that, for example.

400 ping :o How it is even possible to play? :D I never join servers that have more than 60-70 ping (15-30 are very common too). And most servers I play on just kick people with ping larger than ~150 or so.

Wind affecting sniper bullets also would be a nice addition - sniping won't be so easy anymore.

If that is really the case - maybe these servers should be blacklisted?

Banning for duping is bullshit. I have duped a lot of things by accident. It is pretty common to get 2x more cooked meat from a fireplace for example. And many times I have picked up the same item 2x or even 3x (at first looks like that picking up did not work, then I suddenly discover that I have 2x as many items picked up). I have never tried duping on purpose - it just happens a lot by accident. And of course we will not drop accidentally duped "rare" ammo that we got form heli crash sites. Why should we? Other people that will discover that site later will pick up that ammo anyway. So fix your code, not threaten people with bans... BTW - you have inventory bugs that eat items, and you have bugs that duplicate items. Fair trade :D

I play on EU or RU servers only and I have NEVER encountered a hacker. Maybe they are more active on US servers (I don't even try to join them, because ping is too high)

They are not "other society members" - they are game animals to me and my squad. We like to camp near the coast and compete - who will shoot the newly spawned noob first.

Our squad is 2-3 people and we usually play for 4-5 hours. And we have a vehicle - so it's not hard to accidentally drive by a heli crash site. So naturally we are armed to the teeth with the heli crash site gear and we don't even go to loot cities anymore (except industrial areas), because hatchets, beans, coke, makarovs and lee enfields are no longer interesting to us. When we go to cities it is usually to use some noobs as a target practice (you don't carry as50 and L85A2 AWS around to shoot zombies). Backpacks are very common - just go to supermarket and you will find one. Or just murder someone in the middle of the map - he will probably have good gear.

Yes - I can spot my friends, but my enemies can spot me too. This is immersion breaking and unrealistic - almost like an ESP cheat.

I with my squad find at least one heli crash each day we play. They are not rare at all - and we don't even specifically search for them.

OP probably remembers how we stopped the bus he was driving - killed him, took his gear and our bus back...

My squad (3 people) are currently using your server as our home. It would be nice to disable nametags and to give some warning before server restart. (we lost a vehicle two times because of this - and I was very surprised to find out that a car can stay for almost six days near the NW airfield untouched).

Also other players should not be able to spawn in faction controlled areas (because that too is cheap and unrealistic).

Unrealistic, cheap and highly annoying zombie respawns. You should be able to completely cleanse an area from zombies and hold it. Zombies should only spawn there after you leave the area. They could however try and attack the area from outside.

You should contact your ISP or get a better one...

Obvious troll is obvious

yes, but then their zig-zagging and lagging should be fixed so i can hit them. Also their respawning around you feels retarderded, unrealistic and cheap. I don't mind if there were 3 or 4x more zombies, but just let me kill them and don't respawn them for some time.

No - you can't do that...

Not everyone is a nolifer that can live inside this game. I do not play this game everyday. I have a real life too - so this idea sucks big time...

Looks like soon playing DayZ will be like driving in Russia. You have to record everything...
