Kebab (DayZ)

Need a good bedtime story? Well I do have one for you right here. While testing out the pre-vehicle experimental build my buddy Crocc ran into two random cannibal roleplayers. While trying to meet up with Crocc I ran into the same group, letting them pass as I didn't know if they were friendly or not. Crocc and I managed to meet up and catch up with the cannibals. We assume characters and play along, and what a story does it develop into. Enjoy. The feedback on it has been very positive. Liked what you saw? Would you mind giving my previous video a go as well?

Thank you sir! Feedback on the video at YouTube has been positive as well. I guess I'll try getting myself in situations like this in future. This is probably my favorite DayZ SA experience so far.

Hello there survivors! Here's some 40 hours of gameplay edited for your viewing pleasure, showing you my road from being the one pointed at with the gun from being the guy doing the actual pointing, with some funny shenanigans here and there. Squad featured in the video is the one and only Hazmat Corporation. Enjoy the pigmus steaks.

Thank you sir. More to come. Uh.. thanks Crocc :D Thanks. Yeah, during the making of the video we ran into quite many of them. Escaped once and got killed twice. Hopefully the next patch will slap them down with an iron fist.

I've been with Tactical Gamer for 5 years now and this thread doesn't sound anything like what TG is. It's a caricature, a strawman. Judging from your previous topic you are just trolling. You people as far as I know got banned for hacking, spawning on helicopters fully geared, using hacked maps (known TG camp sites, lol, even I don't know most of the camps of TG members). There's over 27 thousand people in that community, there are some that disconnect during firefights, sure, as there are in any community that large. Your overall tone and how ridiculous your claims are is why you haven't gotten any official response from the admin team. Just the claim that the admin restarts servers when they are attacked is ludicrous. The server restarts every 6 hours. While I think this thread is a joke, I'm sure there's evidence against you and I would be happy to hear the admin team lay it in front of you here, but I think they'll let this thread of yours stand in its own merits while the admin team will address the comments with the appropriate parties. If you got evidence of Alt+F4 please share it, our community would like to know who they are as well so they can be reported.

You forgot the part about the helicopter (only one on the server being in the bottom of the sea).

How has the life expectancy risen now that people cannot kill themselves by pressing a button?

Rocket can't do crap about it. People at BI and Battle Eye are the only ones working on it and can work on it. This is a mod, the problem is in the engine itself. The hacking is indeed getting out of hand and people are purposely trying to ruin the mod. Every time I go to Cherno for some PvP a hacker that I kill gets pissed and teleports me to his location to unload a rifle clip in my torso. Only time I've managed to play without being killed by a hacker was during the low population hours of a server. Hackers apparently don't care to grief the 10> servers that much when there's +30 servers out there.

[Posted this in the gallery and it got ignored, shame that using 2 months preparing something gets you less comments than a video where a guy shoots another guy with a sniper rifle] Hello all. Couple of months ago I started planning on making a guide series to DayZ, helping new people to get started. Topics I will cover will pretty much cover anything that isn't too advanced (I doubt I will take time going through every weapon etc, I won't do this in that much detail as I find that somewhat unnecessary). What I will cover are vehicles (again, basics, I won't take everything for a ride), navigating, fighting, first aid, player interactions etc. Parts will be added as I get them done. This isn't my first rodeo either, I've been doing videos for some years now. Quality should be as such, even though I'm not particularly proud of the editing of the first part - it'll have to do though. Why? Well, the guides that I had glanced through were shit to be quite honest, usually some guy improvising live over a footage, not really taking the time to produce something half way decent. Also getting started was bit of an hassle for me and it'll be more of that now that people can't use in game comms to get help on the spot from more experienced players. Thanks and have fun.

From the options, there's a slider for it. Thanks. That was the goal.

Servers with the currently latest beta patch (95310) seem to be bugged. You appear to die when you enter the server and spawn soon after that in the "debug forest". Just find server with an older version (95248 worked for me) and you'll find your character spawning at the shore with all your previous equipment.

The head bobbing doesn't bother me, I rather like the feel of not walking on tracks. Also my post processing is off (hate the fake blur FOV effect), so I don't know what you're talking about.

Hey Rocket, to distract you from telling people that this patch logs disconnects and doesn't ban you; Our group really loves the clothing in the game. The base ARMA II OA has so many clothes that suit this mod (guarrilla faction clothing etc) I think more varied clothing would add to the game. How much work is there to implement more clothes into the game? Does it need to be re-rigged for example with extra bone etc that you as coder can't do, but I (as an artist) could be of help. I think the game would benefit from some less prestigious clothing options that offer better camouflage than the bright sleeves of survivor Merc clothing.

1) Carry morphine (herp) legs fixed. 2) Rocket said that when your spawn is set out of bounds you will be respawned back to the coast. Again, out of bounds, you spawn back to the coast with all your gear. Too bad you got so attached to a feature that wasn't meant to be used the way you did. And what stops you from running at nearest pack of zombies to end your miserable life? Like you said, it's alpha, they test stuff. You aren't playing fully fledged game that is complete. Things will change, things have to change, things are tested, things are added, things are removed - that IS alpha. You aren't playing a game that is released, you are playing a proof of concept game that is in alpha stage. You should listen to the GDC talk that the Portal 2 writers had. At one point Portal 2 didn't have portals at all. They built completely different game around the first game and they trashed it to build something that had portals. Imagine if they had released alpha and suddenly came out that they are ditching the game idea that didn't have portals and added portals back in. What kind of shitstorm would rise from that? Big one. There would be lots of tears. Your tears.

Here's an idea: When you attempt to abort log out the game forces you to type something specific into a box. Like "Bandits are slow and someone took my beans", random words, no not the same exact word every time, random words, every time it's something different. That would stop the combat disconnecters, although it wouldn't stop alt + F4ing as that is a windows shortcut, unless that shortcut can be disabled somehow or stopped from executing.

Good, because I've used alt+f4 only to get away from hackers (two times when they've spawned me in some kind of meat grinder of theirs), but had to deal with people ghosting and logging out in mid combat to re appear. Doesn't fix people at+f4ing in combat but it's a start. Thanks.

I haven't heard anyone getting banned for using FRAPS but some other recording programs and Teamspeak overlay etc has had some problems with punkbuster banning people. It's all about that extra stuff that gets printed on your screen that these programs think is a hackers way of seeing something that they shouldn't,

No, the tell tale sign is usually you spawning in the middle of nowhere or where you haven't been (there's a bug that warps you back to where you have been some minutes ago) or something weird happening, weapons appearing, NPCs spawning around you, turning into a goat. Your best bet is to alt+F4 as quickly as you can and get on a different server to see if you survived.

Just began a series of guides helping people like you to get started. .

1) Servers are restarted all the time. The server I regularly play on gets restarted four times a day. 2) Server admins have no god-mode that they can turn on. 3) Even if you shoot AT a person doesn't mean you are hitting them. Common mistake. Zero your guns, learn to use them in panic situation. 4) When people alt+F4 they sometimes leave behind ghost bodies. It's dead lootable body that cannot be killed, as it is already dead.

Helicopter vehicles are disabled currently. Apparently they caused too much stress for the servers. Alpha and all that. They'll be back.

Why the butt hurt?

Record the game with the UI setting set to small. Make sure you are on a veteran server, as well. With video editor crop the screen so that the UI is cropped out - voilà.

That's the kind of players I love. He survived incredible odds and got lots of good loot for it, all because he didn't alt+F4 like a loser. As Dallas has pointed out the bullets don't fly from your sights, they fly from the barrel of the gun. The whole point of the sights and zeroing them is to get accurate estimation on where the bullet will hit when you take into account gravity and the elevation of the sights. If you don't zero your weapons (AS50, you have to Zero in that gun or you won't hit the guy at such an close range). Also with AS50, as it's 50 caliber round it'll go through even a car (disables a car if shot in the engine twice), the player could've shot through the doors and kill the target. It doesn't matter how many bullets you fire AT the player, if you don't hit the player. He obviously wasn't hacking, he had to bandage. It's funny how many times people call HAX instead of looking at themselves.
