I could've sworn players approaching the truck I booby trapped drop them. Hmm.

Why are you sorry? Bastard was stealing your bike!

I wear these awesome sunglasses at night.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. started my Dayz addiction.

Aren't they bugged at the moment? You could lose all your gear?

Most birds will eat carrion. Watching Nat Geo doesn't make you an expert on wildlife by the way.

That's the one side-effect that I'm concerned about, ALT F4 is about the only way you can avoid being teleported and hacked.

While harsh, I think even too harsh, this comment shows how important it is to find a solution. And soon. I think it should be evident to the devs that if it remains broken, it will affect the standalone version.

I thought that existed already. I shit myself to insta-prone and aimed at trees unders started birds since I started playing, fearing I'm being stalked by fucking ninjas all the time... Paranoid as hell because of it. Be nice if startled birds meant a player for a change.

Good idea. Birds should be attracted to corpses and should be startled by players. It would add realism.

Makes sense to us, but there's got to be a reason the cool-down was decided on.

I think you should contact Battleye.

I've heard of people claiming they've been banned for using it, but I've been using it in Source-based games for a long time and never had an issue. I've only recently stopped using it as it wasn't as useful as I thought it would be, distracting me in a game where I need my focus and wits about me. I feel this is the same in Dayz, and I won't be using it, but if VAC don't see it as a cheat, I myself would assume that it's fine. Probably best to contact Battleye themselves to ask.

They def spawn. One of my team has been hoarding car parts like a boss. I think he's starting a garage or something.

False positives in VAC are 1 in 2,000 or something nuts like that. Sucks all the same, but I trust it before any other anti-cheat since I've seen it work first hand several tens of times.

Couldn't we just feed him to zombies slowly?

So, I'm gonna keep it short. I shoot someone, I should be able to take the meat off their body like if I shot a cow, sheep, goat or chicken. Moral issues aside I'd eat every single one of you to survive if this was real. If it's good enough for the shufflers it's good enough for me. Discuss.

Take my survey in my sig. With enough numbers we might get the dev team to add a short enough delay to ALT F4 players to make it a useless tactic.

I still think you should cut notches in to your mouse arm.

Check if that happens on a different server and take note of the server you were on? That's odd. Might be lag? Maybe you ended up hitting the zombie's limbs? Or do limb hits count as body shots? That said I've seen a couple of cases where my teammates have shot zombies a few times and they're on the ground crawling, still alive so it might be server lag affecting aim and registering shots on limbs.

VAC is probably the most advanced hack detection software available at the moment since it does ban a lot of accounts regularly and has very few false positives. I've seen it ban people live a lot since I play a lot of competitive Source-based games and competitions attract a hell of a lot of cheaters. I've never seen someone banned by Punkbuster who wasn't banned already, and I've never seen Battleye ban someone, but it's early Dayz yet. Compare it to Punkbuster which stops legit players from getting in to games while hackers run amok on servers enjoying themselves with their 50:1 kill-death ratio (I don't know how that's fun, ever). I don't know a lot about Battleye but I can tell you I'm so happy that ARMA don't use Punkbuster!

I'd say test if it happens with ARMA II or ARMA II OA?

That's because you are :P

You mad? I swear I care. ARMA sucks.
