Lol no, I didn't see his body. Now I'm thinking I should've done more to save him...

Wow. Came in here to find some info about experimental servers. All I find is wierdos with far too much emotional investment in a computer game, coupled with some sort of conspiracy paranoia. It's been a week............and I'm out of here.

What the title says. I can imagine being able to carry a backpack via holding a strap, but not being able to do much else unless i drop it. eg run/aim weapon. My suggestion. (couldn't find this topic under search backpack)

Not a dig, was just seeing if anybody knew anything, as i searched and found nothing. Let them make the game at their own pace as far as I'm concerned. Nothing to defend here move along. edit. quote fail

Can't seem to connect to experimental at the minute. Just get "Wait for host" on every server.

The idea came to me when I was sitting around watching a friends backpack after he was killed by a zombie after going afk. I've got a BP so was thinking why the shouldn't I b able to carry my freinds backpack in one of my hands. I like only being able to use a pistol as you said, or a one handed melee weApon like a combat knife ( but not an axe ), and you have to stop and drop the bag to reload. :) Could prove to be quite the little adventure trying to get some gear back to your friend..

Was on a server earlier. Managed to get to the mil.base SW of stary. The base wasn't looted so I started filling my boots. As I was in one of the barracks I saw a player outside looking at me through the window. I tried talking to him on chat, but nothing. Then all the people on the server started to get kicked, including myself. I waited a minute then logged onto another regular server and was at the coast as new spawn. So I'm guessing it was the admin on the server wanting to loot his mil.base, he kicks everyone, then while I'm "sat in a safe place" he kills me. ....or bug? If what I'm thinking happened, not only is it a bit fkin low, and I hope the admin finds out someones shit in his shoe the hard way, but "sat in a safe place" should not happen if one is kicked from a server, only if you, yourself, log out.

Cheers for the clarification that it can happen. :thumbsup:

Yup, tried a couple of times..but I'm definately new spawn, and I know how to report servers that kick, lock etc. :) Can anyone confirm that an admin can kick a player, then the player goes into log out animation? As my point is, if it does it should be changed.

Most servers I join are fine, the odd few I get kicked. I try and relog back onto these but no joy, always kicked. I've noticed that these are generally low pop servers also. I have the same version number so that isn't the reason. Can servers have admins that kick? Isn't this the same as having locked servers? Do people want all the beans on one server so badly they refuse to let anyone else in?

Thanks for that. My main source of confusion comes from why?? What could you possibly gain by doing this....unless, as I said, they want millions of beans and zero player interaction (makes no sense), or they think they gain some sort of advantage (makes no sense), or they want to play some sort of shitty coop with...aahh bollocks I don't know.

Get fully geared, get bored, run back to coast and give everything I have apart from my aviators and axe to a bemused new spawn. Then run back inland with the wind rustling around my knackers to re-gear, knowing I just made someones day. :)

Full TTkSo camo. M4 with magpull attachments. Pristine ACOG. Silencer. 200+ rounds. Fireaxe. 2x rice, 5 tins and can opener. 3 Water canteens. Green beanie. 30 slot hunter backpack One lucky new spawn tonight will get all this as I am going naked preacher. 1x bible, 0x pants, and I'm going to follow said new spawn waving my bible and preaching from the book of revelation - just to see how long it is before I get the bullet. I give myself about 5 minutes... :thumbsup: I

"creature killed by sigvatr"

God...you're so aggressive. You going to be wanting to wack the poor reader's reading their books next, then the people wanting safe zones.....THEN the people wanting to fine people real money who KoS. You're a real prick man...

+1 and I never +1 anything as I'm nearly 40 years old and it feels like saying "wassup dawg?" or something. If anything harder please. I'm running with a few guys, and food/zombies/other players have not been a problem so far. :)

No happy medium to be had. You're either on the manly man side of the fence. Or the liberace side of the fence. I know which side my stones are placed. *beats chest*

Really? I just hit my inventory and theres a big sign next to avatar letting me know if I'm hungry or thirsty....or is it just me?

Why are people saying the hunger/thirst thing is confusing? Not had any problems at all....due to being obvious if you have half of a half of a brain.

Alright here. But then I've got a couple of freinds to help in the collective. Definately hard lonewolf. Realising that if you want to run about you have to stuff your face until you get a message saying you are full, and not to run too far from a water pump without adequate supply makes things better. He who has knife/tinopener and water bottle is king. Run the length and breadth of cherno today without dieing from hunger/thirst. Thanks to a freind, and realising this 'aint no mod.

"A DayZ Prologue" - The beginning of my new characters story, why he spawns at the coast with fuck all, finds the world gone to shit, then heads north to find the tools he needs so he can return and wreak bloody vengence. ***Chapter 1*** "Old Jim loved this town. He loved working down at the lumber mill. That man knew how to use a hammer. He also knew how to shoot. Only I knew why that was. Only I knew what he used to be, before he settled here. I think he would've blamed the cows at first, for causing the accident that stopped him from being able to protect his purple damsel. I think he would've wept. Then I think he would've vowed to kill every one of these infected bastards and anyone who gets in his way. He would be heading north to go get his shit. Then, once he has his gear, I bet he's coming back. For all of them, and all of you.........." - Last words of a survivor to a bandit. "Fucking cows." - Old Jim

Date/Time:30 / 4 / 2012 about 4pm UK time What happened:Found a safe place in forest just outside Msta. Went prone in a bush. Left game and went into the servers game lobby for 5minutes. Tried to rejoin game, but on character creation it said I had died to friendly fire. However the Kill screen doesnt appear, and my character is immobile on the ground. Health, blood, food and water status all fine. Where you were: In forest to east of Msta What you were doing: Laid prone in a bush *Current installed version: 1.5.2 *Server(s) you were on:EU3 *Your system specs:Intel i7. 6GB ram. ATI5850 4GB *Timeline of events before/after error: As above in "what happened" section. Then I left server and rejoined. Same thing happened. I then restarted arma and rejoined server, and same thing happened. Everytime I try to join the server just informs me I have died to friendly fire.

Date/Time:27th May / 11:45pm ish What happened: Firstly I spawned into game missing 2 M14 magazines for my M14 acog. Secondly my young padawan and I were searching a house. We went through an internal door at same time, bounced off each other and I fell to floor injured. I needed bandages, pain killers and morphine. The same happened to him. Thirdly, right after healing myself and moving ne I noticed my backpack had disappeared - the one holding my m14 acog that I had lost the ammo for. Could see it on the floor of the housse in which we collided but couldnt pick it up. Where you were: At joining server I was just outside Zub tower. The house tried to eat us at Gridref 072084 , small hamlet maybe 2-3km west of guglovo. What you were doing: When I lost my ammo I had just spawned after choosing my gender. When I lost my meds, alice pack and everything in my alice pack we were searching a house. *Current installed version:1.6 *Server(s) you were on:FR4 *Your system specs:i7, ati 5850, 6gb ram *Timeline of events before/after error:see "what happened" ...'tis a wee bit anoying :dodgy:

* [FIXED] Panic noises going apeshit all the time Hurrah! Have a pint of me!

I feel Im playing something fantastic for free at the minute. Played all BIS incarnations since OFP. In the future, if this will work with Arma3, with more people per server, an ingame grouping system, and 1 character per server - you can charge me however and whatever tbh.
