KOS will always be a "problem" and this is why
jackcrow replied to armyof12monkeyss's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
We generally fire warning shots or non-fatal wounds to anyone getting close to our base. We have some excelent snipers and a very active group. Most of the time its just people stumbling in, we send em packing, sometimes limping. But the bandit skins and peristant humanity stat has really helped prevent obvious bandit infiltration which has been nice. Its just more fun to take the risk than it is to shoot first imo. Plus that is the way our clan operates. We strive to have a fun and exciting server, not one where people dont want to play because they have to worry about a decent size clan mowing them down any time they come out of the woods. -

jackcrow replied to armyof12monkeyss's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
We have a simliar setup, not in Cherno, but a base camp so to speak that isnt in the woods. We do not KoS, but that is our choice. Does that mean KoS is a problem? Hell no, its a way of life for the giving and receiving ends. Play how you want, rule Chernarus as you see fit. -
is it worth buying arma 2 combined operations now
jackcrow replied to iReJambo's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The answer to my question will answer your question: Do you wish to play DayZ now, or later? -
Helicopter D-Spawns every time the server restarts.
jackcrow replied to jjeez's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The Heli on our server is also respawning and at the same spot. It respawns in the same location, but always seems to need different items to get it going. All other vehicles are fine, but we are also noticing sandbags and barb wire are disappearing too. -
Im becoming a bandit, without wanting to become one...
jackcrow replied to grimsonfart's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Im really getting tired of these "QQ Im forced to become a bandit because I want to play alone and hang out in Cherno/Elektro and keep getting shot at" threads.... -
1st person only, waypoints, what more?
jackcrow replied to echosyp's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Not sure why you would turn off 3rd person. We dont play with crosshairs or any of the other luxuries, but 3rd person is crucial imo. -
TIP: Manual install launched through steam
jackcrow replied to AtotehZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Because you dont have to install a 3rd party compiler since your running windows? Because you dont have to worry about your AV looking at the new .exe as a false/positive and zapping it? Because your paths dont change, though your batch file may change during an update which could break your compiled batch file? I could go on, but I think you get my point =) -
What else could you possibly have in slot over NVG and RangeFinder? Binoculars? Drop that shit and equip the damn RangeFinder, then a NVG. Being able to play anytime of the day = priceless.

So Who Do You Think The Hackers Really Are?
jackcrow replied to Devmagic's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Correction, Sergey wrote the engine that Big Rigs ran on. He did not make the game. -
So Who Do You Think The Hackers Really Are?
jackcrow replied to Devmagic's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hackers, for the most part, are just shitty players. I dont care who you are, being good at this game does not make the game boring. Being shitty and never getting off the beach, that makes this game boring. -
No trouble with the camo clothes I found this weekend. Still rocking em and have logged in and out several times.
-
Tents suck, cant trust em for shit. Lost 2 DMR's from 2 separate attempts to save them in the tent. Everything saved fine until the reset, then my tent is back to the way it was before I put the DMR where the gun I took out and trashed to make room for the DMR is back. Sucks man.
-
While you do bring up a good point, the humanity loss for a murder is quite high. So maybe these so call pseudo-hero's manage to murder maybe one or two unsuspecting victims, they will quickly be a rocking a turban. If that is how they want to waste their time, well I hope the 1-2 kills are worth it.

Duping? Id like the shit I put in there and save to actually fucking be there after the server restarts. THEN they can worry about duping, Ive lost 2 DMR's.....

TIP: Manual install launched through steam
jackcrow replied to AtotehZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
"Quick Batch File Compiler"? Pfffttt!!!! All you have to do is duplicate the Arma:OA shortcut in steam, change a few paths to include @dayz, add non-steam game and bam. A simple google search would have returned a billion guides on how to do this, none of them require a compiler. Or as others have said, use DayZCommander and check the "launch from Steam" option. -
I guess its situational. But last night we were being attacked at our camp and when we got the better of the attackers all of a sudden we were all teleported to a Thunderdome. Not sure if it hacker was part of the attack or just happened to come in while it was going, either way it really sucks when your trying to snuff out bandits and then you are ported away.

My problem with Dayz(INFORMAL so fuck how you feel)
jackcrow replied to Mountain Dew's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Apparently you want to experience the "PG" version of the Zombie Apocalypse. -
Question about re-installing Arma II and DayZ
jackcrow replied to Cyborgazm's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Nope, your toon is safe on the hive. But here is my suggestion: 1. Open Six Launcher and allow it to update your Arma2:OA 2. Download the 2.5 zip file from the torrent here on this site 3. Extract zip file 4. Copy contents of zip folder to arma:oa/DayZ/addons (if you are not prompted to replace the current files your not in the right directory) 5. Launch Arma2:OA from the .exe in the game folder, DO NOT RUN SIX UPDATER OR DAYZ COMMANDER 6. Use in game server browser like a Pro If you try and run one of those launchers afterwards it will rewrite all the DayZ files back to the 2.4 release -
how do you end game? what is end game for you?
jackcrow replied to =ANz= Zentile's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
For me there is no "end game". The war between our clan and the bandits never ends, casualties are expected on both sides. -
found one yesterday between Stary and Novy.

Humanity change for killing pseudo-bandits
jackcrow replied to Daxon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Since the stat is persistent, I think its fine as is. If you had to accomplish getting rid of the negative humanity or positive humanity to reach your goal in one life I think Id agree with your post. But as is your humanity level is a history of your play style, not the way you felt like playing that day. -
You sir have been bad.
-
Keep an eye on it. The stats were fluctuating on me all weekend. It would say the right stats one minute and be all zeros the next even though I never disconnected.
-
How high is your humanity? Got mine up to 4300 yesterday by killing zombies and helping clan mates with blood bags when needed. I love that its a persistent stat!

Wouldnt that also mean he would have the starter gear and NOT the ghillie suite?
