I definitely liked how the zombies moved and how it seemed to take headshots to drop them. Would be cool to see headshot only kills on zombies in DayZ and keep the only other effective shots be leg breaking shots.

Well...guess I'm a dick...or does that make me a survivor?

I'd like to just put in my 2 cents. I'd prefer it if the player death messages (and murders on the debug monitor) were turned off entirely. Adds another depth to the game...confirming your kills.

I think part of the problem is the players inventory not updating regularly as well. I notice, sometimes when I log out shortly after looting some items, I'll log back in the next day and none of the items will be in my inventory. If I remove items from a tent, sometimes when I log back in, the items are gone from my pack AND they are not in the tent. So, maybe a partial solution would be, when players interact with say tents/vehicles/other players packs (adding ground loot would be excessive, I feel), their inventory is then auto saved similar to the manual save button for vehicle/tent inventories. I'm not sure if this stuff is related to the duping but it seems very similar to the problem only in the opposite manner. Also, I'm not sure how much lag or how much in the way of resources this would consume but, in my mind, it seems that this could atleast fix alot of frustration of players logging back in the next day sans all the goodies they have procured. Also, one last thought, what if player inventories were forcefully saved at a log out or any time they player disconnects from a server? (I'm not a programmer, just spit ballin here)

Why WOULDN'T you?

I was just hacked on Us 88 Texas 6 times. The last 4 were for verification and time logging's sake. NOTE: I got their names from the encounters with them. Nearly every encounter of the 6 they typed into direct communication "Friendly?" Names of the accused: [OFWGKTA] Derp [OFWGKTA] HYSTERIA So I died 3 times prior to 11:00 pm PST. I have the times of the last 3 times I was killed so it could be logged. 1st: 2 guys appeared next to me in a car on a hill east of elektro. I ran for a bit, couldn't seem to lose them in the trees (mind you they were in one of the sedans) going up and down hills. Finally, I opened fire unloading 10 or so DMR rounds to the windshield, one gets out, i again, fire 5-8 shots of dmr rounds, point blank at him, seeming miss every round as he offs me standing still with an AK. Fair enough, bad shooting on my part. 2nd. I spawn at balota, run all the way to cherno in the dark, realize someone is stalking me on the docks. I fire at the shadow about 15 rounds with my AK I found on the beach. No luck. I keep running, and repeat the process. Finally, i hide next to a dock. Get snuck up on, fire my last 8 or so rounds point black to the chest, miss all of them (apparently) and get talked to in direct chat asking if I am friendly. They eventually kill me. 3rd. I spawn at Cap Galova (mind you these last 3 deaths are all inside of about 15 minutes). I look to my left, it's dark and someone sort of appears on my screen and seems to drop about a foot or two to the ground and then immediately kills me. Now I'm suspiscious. 4th: 11:01pm PST I spawn at Prigorodki immediately after dying, get spawned in on and shot to death. 5th: 11:03 pm PST I spawn at Elektro, same story, someone appears out of nowhere and shoots me dead 6th: 11:05pm PST I spawn at Otmel, in the shallow water near one of the islands. I see a shape appear in the distance, he falls into the deep water and cannot fire on me. Next, he disppears and reappears on the beach, fires some shots and can't hit me. Next I all of a sudden get dropped in the deep water and am repeatedly fired upon but not hit. Finally, i hear a MASSIVE explosion all around me, but to my surprise, I am unscathed. Then I hear a gun other than the revolver that has been killing me all night take about 3 shots... the 3rd hits me and kills me. Hopefully this is enough information to get rid of some blatant hackers. Unfortunately I had no time to get footage (it was dark anyway) but I figured logging time and locations would be sufficient.
