So, I've been playing for a bit on my homeserver... I was in Camp and made inventory and boom, I fall over dead, did not hear a shot or anything. Okay... thought to myself... heck somebody found my camp and while I was checking he killed me, server was slightly populated at this time. So I make my way back only to see camp is still untouched. wtf? Okay... maybe just a troll... Later: I was playing on another server. Every ten seconds or so my skin changes, my states reset, come back, reset again and my char stutters around while changing skins (Bandit skin on, Bandit skin off, on, off, on off) thought it was hackers maybe... left the server for a minute, came back, everything was fine again. Again Later: I spawn on the coast because a hacker got the best on me, as well as everybody on another server. I spawn in Elektro, yeah thats nice, I enter a industrial building, had some Zed's and move out behind it. NO sight from any known sniper position, NO players around me and boom I fall over dead again. If it was somebody near me I would have heared the shot, a Sniper could NOT have seen me in any possible way (surrounded by buildings, no sight from either coast or hills, was standing next to a wall). tl;dr: What the eff is wrong with DayZ? Why do I die out of nowhere these day? Makes me sad because it can happen right after I geared up again. I want to die to Zed's and other Players, not to god damn insta-gib bugs

Well, I thought it was a bug after all :/ That resetting of Stats seemed a bit off but after logging in again it was gone, i let my guard down I guess -.-

first answer i would believe, since I was totally covered in Elektro, I allways pay attention :/ P.S.: Frankfurter? Garnicht so weit weg ;)

wow, the one in a million one-shot kill with an AK47 o_O nice work there!

A big welcome to kando who decided to make his way into our base! Let me tell you something: WE will be the ones who say: We're in your base, killin' your d00dz! Usual talk: Come people, inquire, apply, whatever you like to call it, or simply join our cause, for we have the things dreams are made of ;) Join, Join, Join!

A big welcome to Daxius who has decided to come to the dark side... because we have cookies... All others, apply now, who inquires in the next 30 minutes gets a free pair of khaki trousers and some old sneakers, fit's perfectly with an as50... or cookies... which only we have!

yep it is, alongside #90 or #99 or something

Gee, thanks man :) Updating to the newest everything right now (even 1.7.2.5) and start playing again, was slightly terrified when I heared about that banning thingy :)

*BUMP* C'mon people, we need YOU to build up a nice group, apply, we like it!

Bump that thread! Gloodizzle, we'll come to you in a bit man, stay put :) Anyways, still searching, whoever wants some good stuff, reply here and/or send SINFULSEBASTIAN a message. A little request for appliances: Tell us something about your gamestyle! Killed many good men? Tell us! Emptied many filled Tents? Tell us! And then, join the NGSF, good men! CO Jericho

Jeez, stay cool, all of you. There is no point in whining OP, that's just the thing! You can't keep people from doing it and doing a forum entry about it won't do any good either. What do you expect? Now that you wrote that you hate it, everybody will stop? Nobody stops doing shit he does, thats how the world works and thats how DayZ works. Question yourself: If you are able to spawn snipe and like it, will you stop if one of your targets tells you what douche you are? No! That's just it, there are douchy snipers, point taken, time to move on. If the game lost it's value to you because of that, it's sad, but no one can change it but Rocket, and heck, I bet he wouldn't even forbid that... Just quit your whining, man up and grow some balls and finally stop bitching around and beg for our support

Yep, I snipe but definately not on noobs. I raid the Airfields regularily with my mates and provide cover fire, nothing more. Thing is, you cant keep people from Sniping in Cherno, neither can you keep them from sniping in Elektro. I'd say, team up and bring a counter-sniper. Equipped with a DMR and located on the hills too, he can pick off snipers while you loot, if he's good that is... I know this spawn-camping ruins the game and somehow I'd like to see that changed. It's just for their lol's and I like to keep it professional, I never killed an unarmed player and I will never do it, not even hatchet swinging newbs. If one is geared he gets sniped in the face, a possible thread, IF he does not respond to anything or starts shooting. I've been spawnsniped so often I hate it too... My tip: bear with it, as soon as you have the chance try to pick off the snipers yourself, its fun :)

The DMR is not the Designated Marksman Rifle for no reason. You can use it up to 800 meters if you know how and with the 20 round mags you can easily beast the shit out of people :)

HAHAHAHA, you so funny!

Yesterday we were trading with a friendly survivor named +Ben+, together with Sinfulsebastian I provided overwatch for Piccolo who traded in the open field near Sosnovka. Here is how this went and how a man trades. Balls of Steel and Beans for the trade!

Since we knew Ben allready we had nothing to fear, but yeah, i totally agree on that too, normaly we take veteran servers without even 3dp on :)

Yesterday evening was great! Together with Sinfulsebastian and Piccolo_bsc (my crew) we traded with +Ben+ from the whitelist medics on the outskirts of Sosnovka. In all peace and quiet we made the arrangements, met up there and did the deal nice and smooth. I myself aswell as Sinfulsebastian provided overwatch, while Piccolo gave his stuff in return for +Ben+'s Stuff. Why the overwatch? Because we dont like for random people to pop up! Here's the trade captured in a video: Now you guys now we four are friendly traders, men of valor! Cheers to Ben, everytime again mate!

Right back at you mate ;) I think we will have more deals to come :) Good to know it's in good hands man :) Hope it treats you well ;D Sebastian sponsored it! Guys, if you need anything, just say the word and I'll try my hardest to get it for and to you :)

that pretty much sums it up man. DayZ communicates with a central online hive, which means: If you would host your own hive your character would work with that but not with dayz later because it's another hive. So no, no LAN servers, neither playing alone, end of the question.
