Okay so my dipwad of a friend (Ingame name "Selby") has a blacklisted gun in his inventory, we haven't been onto hive servers since 1.7.6.1 and went back on to check out 1.7.7 and to cut a long story short, he can't play. Due to what we believe to be some variation of an AK 107 (It's been a while since we were on) being in his inventory, he gets kicked for Cargo restriction # 6. I was just wondering if there was anyway to reset his character data to allow him to start a new character on DayZ or anyway to remove it from his inventory. <<Playing NZ hive servers (21, 22) btw>>

Hmm, I had a similar problem with the white off road in particular, I checked a few NZ servers, each one of the spawns had the off road with the same damage and none wanted to be repaired, so far as I can tell, they can't be fixed at the moment.

hey I don't mean to be rude,but as much as scumbag sniper PvP is annoying, PvP is essential to the game in that peopl make the decsion on how play and survive, be it killing another player in a confrontation. But a PvP only server??? Have you heard of this game called Arma 2? You bought it right? You know it has its own MP game types right? I have, just for lulz played a "Death match" Dayz server, yuo get a loadout set up randomly and parachute in and there are buildings and loot spawns, but they arent used its a giant deathmatch reminicent of actual Arma 2 gameplay xD, completely pointless. Anyway, a specific PvP server would serve no purpose because the only thing it would add would be a food/water metre as I'm sure we all agree, DayZ mod Zeds are a funny side game in this.

BUT REMEMBER KIDS! Drugs are bad.

bro, you're forgetting about the triangular lump of ground boss, that mofo flips 2 ton cars and 5 ton trucks

Ahhhhh, see that's your problem right there :D You can only check spawns directly after a restart, if you don't find one within an hour of the restart, your best bet is to wander around up north anywhere you think would be a good idea to stash a vehicle. The bonus of doing this, is, if you do find a vehicle, chances are you'll find it near a camp and you'll be pretty set after a raid through their hideout... the one draw back being, there's a good chance if its a high pop server, you may run into the survivors who set those bases up, so tread carefully, hope this helps.

The reason you should buy it and play it is not as simple as it's a "Good game" it is a unique game that requires as much though as a good game of chess, you need to plan where you want to go, what you'll need to get there, ration your supplies and factor in annoying, yet also rather comical zombies (Don't worry too much about their erractic movements, they're doing the best they can with ArmA2 and it will be better in the stand alone), not to mention the possibility of bandits and other survivers. Once you do that, you're on the move, either sneaking slowly through a town to check for the most basic survival items, maybe checking a firestation for some military loot... then you see it, a sweet ass rifle, maybe an AK or an M4, the type you're familier with from all the typical FPS'. But no, it's different, you have scarce ammo, it takes time to get used to, knowing its range limits, it's noise, it's ability to draw agro from all corners of town.You start moving from town to town, deer stand to deerstand, finding precious ammo to feed your one companion you can truely rely on, then it happens, a bullet wizzes by, you sprint for the nearest bit of cover, your heart rate leaps up and you're searching for the bandit. You see him, he has some friends and a car. A firefight ensues, you breath deep long breaths trying to stop the adrenaline from shaking you as you desperatly fight for what may as well be your life. By some miracle you seem to over power them, your trust rifle has gotten you through so much and you have less than a mag left, btu they're all dead. You spritn over to their corpses and loot to your hearts content, packing all their food, ammo and guns into the sedan they were driving in. But alas, you were reckless, you hadn't made sure they were all dead, as you step into the car all you hear isthe crack of a rifle, the smash of glass and before you know it, your body lies limp in the drivers seat as you see the combat log announce your death and a final bandit totting a large rifle run back to the car.... "YOU ARE DEAD" is the next thing you see, you're numb,you can't seem to proccess what happened, one second you're on top of the world, the next, awash with sadness, grief and anger. You respawn on a familiar beach, near Chernogorsk, you silently make your way back to the town, empty, with nothing but a box of pain killers, a bandage and a flash light. You are sad, but don't be, you're starting a whole new adventure...

Ehhh, I would say far more of a bandit move, I, personally don't see myself as bandit as I rarely kill people, I find pointing a gun at someone's head and asking them to kindly move along without bloodshed works well enough for me. But I have killed a few players, most of the time for a vehicle. Veehicles in this game are very rare and anyone who posseses one should be aware of the risk they make, a fresh spawn who finds a car has made the decision to be a giant high value target, so they should be on guard. Also in any case, whoever is driving a car may aswell be unarmed considering the amount of time it takes to get out of a car and set up a good firefight is so great you'll die anyway. So to sum up, no, not a coward move, just a very concious decison to sack up and do what you needed to do to get yourself an upperhand in the zombie apocalypse.

guys, don't you have space bars or do think fullstops cool?

I have a similar problem, except I was sniped in camo clothes, I respawned on 0 humanity, down from 5,300 and then I walked around for a while waiting for my friend to get on to bag him, but it got to 600, then i logged off, i came back an hour later and im on 0 again, anyone know how to fix this, I don't like looking like a bandit (also I see myself in hero skin so not sure if this changes anything)

double post sorry

Ok they really don't work. I had Camo before I got sniped after me and a mate set up camp in the middle of nowhere, he was pissed, but I was used to BS deaths like that. Anyway I respawn and get the horrible glitch where you loose all humanity I was on 5,300 then I respawned on zero, trouble was I thought I had hero sjkin on, but then everyone shot me on spawn and I finally clicked that I had bandit, anyway, I then use about 10 bloodbags on my mate to get my hero skin back. This highlights two problems, one skin glitchs, secondly and more importantly you can't be sure, me I was a guy with only one self defense kill to my name looking like a bandit, then the next minute I look like a hero because I exploited it back. People are more comfortable shooting a bandit, you have to do something pretty bad to be a bandit most people think, but with a hero, its so easy to get, you may as well be an untrustworthy bandit in hero's clothing.

I consider the getting sniped business a really cheap and irritating death, namely because all I see is "You are dead" and that's the end of that. I can understand why a balanced fight would be fun, the one time when I was jumped by another survivor in Kamenko when we had a hatchet duel was amazing, kiting through the town getting every zombie on us and trading blows was so much fun, because, even though I wasn't expecting it, it was a PvP experience that had both of us with a chance to win. The so called "PvPers" that sit on a hill and snipe people who have no clue of their murderers whereabouts or intentions, who pose no threat to campy McSniperton aren't "PvPers", they're people who are just bored with the game and take some sadistic pleasure in ruining someone else's game. So rather than finding a different game to play, rather than attacking someone who has a chance of killing their attacker, they sit on their buts with a sniper scope glued to their eyeball and pick off random people going about their day trying to survive, then to top it all off, they complain about how boring the game is and use it as a flawed justification as to why the snipe everyone they see. TL;DR Proper PvP, fine, annoying prick sniper, go away, we don't want what you're selling.

Kamenko, simple layout, a few spots to find basic loot, then you can head to the next town over, Komarovo and loot the warehouse/officey building and by then you should have enough to venture to a few barns for a gun. IMO best starting gun is the Winchester, large clip, moderate noise (quiet comparatively to other guns) and behaves much like a rifle and has a decent range.
