Ummm.... Not trying to troll or anything, I can see you were just trying to tell a story... I had high hopes, but in the end, i'm confused. So you walked to the NW airfield? What happened when you got there?

DAFUQ?????

Hacking on any server just gets them more experience hacking. Why don't you try and stop defending yourself and just say, "Sorry guys, won't happen again." That would earn you more respect than trying to justify your actions. Everyone is tired of the hackers. The more time Rocket and his team have to spend figuring out ways to stop them, the less time they have to fix the bugs and bring the game to stand-alone. "Hey, I just helped train some terrorists, but it's OK, we stayed in Afghanistan..."

Thanks for that! I was probably one of 'em. Though it didn't stop the guy at the NW Airfield a few days ago...

I have the same texture issues as the OP. And just about the same specs, except I have a Radeon 5570. Those textures were blocking the view in the NW Airfield a couple of nights ago, but only if you were looking toward the North. It also persisted across all the servers I tried to switch to and eventually got me killed by some A**-hat who thought it would be cool to take my gear when I was blind. Thanks for that.... Oh well, back to the coast.

I'm looking for a few people to explore with and help protect each other from trolling bandits. Just got killed for the fourth time while unconscious from an infected attack. Tired of getting sniped from a mile away trying to get basic gear back. Before this bad streak I had been alive for 13 days and had some great gear. Now I am a noob again. Anyway... I am trying to get back to the ATV I have stashed near the NW airfield and then possibly trying to set up a camp somewhere. I already have several camps on multiple servers but I haven't been to them in a while. I use a data sheet to keep track of them and anyone with me would get a copy. Go ahead and add me and give me a call on Skype if you are interested. 30 Year old male. East Coast. Reliable playing schedule. I don't care if you have killed other survivors, but I don't intend to do the same if it can be helped. No shooting until an aggressive act is witnessed. Skype: Groner1661 Steam: Groner1661

I sent my info, added you on Steam, Skype, etc. Ready to go if you want to meet up. Was just killed a few minutes ago so I am trying to get back to a vehicle I have stashed near the NW airfield.

Where in the world did you find a cigar box and batteries?

Personally, I don't necessarily want the average gamer playing DayZ. At least, not just yet. The average gamer is going to figure out how to kill something with their issued weapon and run around making everyone's life miserable, trolling, etc. By making someone do a little research and understand the game before they dive into it, they respect it more, as I did when I first started. I must have read about DayZ for a week before I decided to get involved with it. I don't want the casual gamer in here shooting everything up and making the experience less than pleasurable. At least, in the Alpha.....

Dude, you know what? I'm calling BS on the playing games for "20+ years".... Unless you are counting "Barney goes to School" or something of that nature. Even then, I would say that you didn't know enough about the game to say whether it was good or bad. I'm going to guess, considering you're telling the truth, that you are around 21-22 years old. Might I suggest spending less time being a "Beta Tester" and more time studying the english language. Yes, I know, this is a forum about a video game and I get that. I can handle things like "C u L8ter" and "IMHO" and things of that nature. But your comment is useless. Why? Becuase it is completely unreadable. Seriously, it gave me a headache. Let me try to understand what you are saying and possibly rephrase this for everyone else. 1. Barb wire, body bags (Haven't seen an actual body bag that isn't a background object.), and tents glitch because they are altered. You have made a CONCERTED (not EXCERTED) effort to be knowledgeable enough to tell other people that they don't know what they are talking about when they tell you that you don't know what you are talking about. (Did you get all that?) 2. You have been killed by zombies (Or Zobs as you put it once.) in a single shot. (Are there infected running around with firearms now? Scary.) 3. Infected should not be able to run toward your gunfire as easily. 4. Vehicles should respawn if not used in 24 hours. I think that just about covered it. Oh wait, one more thing. This is a period. ----> . This is a comma. ----> , Face palm.

Thanks!

Page not found at that link. Considering how long it takes to develop a game and that this mod is still in Alpha... I think not.

This is exactly why I love DayZ! The possibilities are endless! I for one, have an idea about running a secure storage depot of sorts. That is, a tent city with fortifications and 24-hour guard where people can store their loot; for a price of course. This is just one idea and I'm sure I will come up with others, some more adventurous and some small scale. Thanks to the whole Dev team and of course Rocket! I have been strictly a console gamer up until DayZ. Nothing before then has turned me from my Xbox. Bravo.

Here is a Camp Data Sheet for keeping track of all your tent locations across servers. After I created this sheet I searched the forums and found that Petllama had also created one here. Didn't want to hijack his discussion. Props to him because his is very helpful and creative! I just didn't need all the options and the blue and yellow highlighted text hurt my eyes. This is a very simple, easy to read sheet. Anyway, if you like it please let me know! (Or if you hate it.) Enjoy! Click here for the Camp Data Sheet on Google Docs.

Nice job Petllama! I came here after I had created my own sheet. It is essentially the same without all the hyperlinks and such. I offer it to those who want a simpler format. Not that your sheet isn't great, I just needed something simpler. Here is my version. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8JBCQOKantmZVFjZElHLVhBSjg

Suck it up. Drive on. Find some more beans...

Whooooooooooooo Cares?!

I am not saying he's an idiot (You were probably referring to the other post.) but he didn't miss either. He killed 3 people who may have been trying to survive just like him. Now if there were absolutely no bandits in the game, it wouldn't be near as scary, don't get me wrong. Without bandits I wouldn't think twice about doing any loot runs. But he's not a bandit (Well, technically he is now.), just a gun shy survivor... I'll bet if he had taken cover as his first instict one of two things may have happened. 1. They keep on driving. or 2. They stop the car and try to get out. (In which case I might have been more cautious and possibly confronted them myself.) In the second situation though, you have the upper hand, and they should know that.

What problem were you annoyed by exactly?

Of course, you couldn't have simply ran off into the woods or anything... no. Honestly, unless they are trying to run you over (Which would be incredibly difficult to do if you had simply took cover.) it's rather hard IMO to, exit the vehicle, get your bearings (Since the screen goes black for a brief second.) and then aim and fire. Very tactically inefficient. I think if they were going to kill you they probably would have gotten out a ways back and waited for you to start eating your beans in the middle of the road or whatever it is people without any tactical sense do... I had some trouble with spawn campers in the begining. Just do what I did, log onto a night server with few survivors and make a run for it!
