^ This I've also found that when swapping bags, when putting my bag on the ground it can take a while before the game catchs up and realised that there now a lootable object on the floor..

Nothing there is particularly hard to come by..

(Rocket) Why are we logging in on the coast
MitchRan91 replied to Siggy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I was spawned at the beach before I updated to 1.7.2.5 then updated and its all fixed. no longer being spawned back at the coast, I even server hopped to make sure.. ;) -
Teleported - i stay at the coast
MitchRan91 replied to gambla's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Think you're unlucky, I've been playing for a month and have yet to be teleported into the sky, change servers.. I've been teleported back to the coast once I undergraded from 1.7.2.4. but that was once. -
You get my beans sir! Fucking hilarious, Got to love the DayZ rush.

Are the updates even tested before release??
MitchRan91 replied to pwnage13371's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would love to see the OP code something, test to make sure its works correctly one the millions of different servers, with different set-ups and then the millions of users all with different set-ups, and see if you fix it in one... We are the testers, They do some testing, we do the rest, they release a patch, we report back to Rocket and team. Tried of people moaning about 1) An Alpha, and 2) Something they get for free... -
Good one... why bother posting/being on these forums/be part of this community if your going to be a waste of space?

Did i get hacked or are people really that good?
MitchRan91 replied to unclegus's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hacker wouldn't have missed. You were most likely driving at him. -
I think we should form a militia!
MitchRan91 replied to UnArmedd's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You think that because you played halo competivetly for years makes you "skilled"? Please do shed some light on this. This is a survival game, not some shitty fast paced fps. Completely different genres. -
Yay, Bandit and Hero identifiers are coming in
MitchRan91 replied to tuleg1t's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Until we get bandit groups with one hero, running about getting the trust of others to be shot in the back by the Heroes group! -
DayZ why you gotta duck with me :((
MitchRan91 replied to random_stuff's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This is a good fix. It means you will have to actually get out there and risk your life alittle if you want ammo. Instead of just stocking up at tents and then player hunting. This a brilliant fix. You are simply moaning because you can't exploit ammo anymore... -
Trusted a random survivor-he didnt betray me! :P
MitchRan91 replied to IcyZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think when you both don't have weapons it is a lot easier to relax and trust others. I certainly did when I first started. Add a gun to the equation and it only takes 1 second of your back turned or you to hesitate thinking someone is friendly and your gone. Once you have a group, it's best to stick to it and not engage others with weapons. -

Would love a L85A2 after I lost mine to sky hacks :(. Sent you a PM with my skype name. Currently heading to Zelenorgor. -
Some home truths for hackers/exploiters
MitchRan91 replied to Agrocr0c's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
To be fair, I have read posts about this before. I will admit I have alt-f4'd before to get out of a shitty situation, I just to try and justify it to myself, I didn't want to loose my gear I was too attached, but at the same time I would be annoyed if someone did it to me... Now after a while I've realised I can re-gear quite quickly and that you're completely right, we are playing for that thrill.. I always said after I alt-f4'd that aww I wish I could have got the drop on him or whatever. This has made me think about the next time I get engaged by a player. You sir have my beans! :beans: -
Tired of Hackers? Here's the solution: play on Expert Servers
MitchRan91 replied to ponc's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This might limit the amount you experience hackers.. but its not a solution :( -
Its posts like these where you can tell idiot/noob pc gamers apart from people who actually have some experience in programming and development. Be f'ing patience, you've paid nothing, you deserve nothing. If Rocket wants to spend the next 2 months without fixing the graphical glitches and implimenting dogs so be it. Its more than likely he has fixed the glitch, they are in testing and while testing they mentioned a second feature that they would like to impliment, instead of updating then all the servers updating then updating again and having out of sync issues and all the other bullshit. its much better to do it all in one go.

wtf is with the Ronald McDonald hacker playing scary music and chase us cross server?
MitchRan91 replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Liking the creativity of some of these guys haha -
Own fault, Once Im geared up i seem to think im untouchable, ran across a field.... Such a waste or that and DMR. If i had of known they were vaulable I would have traded. Hope you find one soon bud. :thumbsup:
-
Had one yesterday i would have happily traded for a Ghillie, before I took a sniper shot to the face. :(

Should have switched servers, crawled out of where the vehicle is and then log back to your server. The game is frustrating when you die, even more so when by Bugs/Hackers. But i enjoy knowing that when I die and everything is gone, its a challenge once more!

Grrr, getting kicked from most servers i join
MitchRan91 replied to 2str0ng4u's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
No other messages? BattleEye is getting seriously improved. Kicking for Scripts, ping, changes to any file, even seen it kicking for people taking too long to join the server! -
When are you really gonna to stop OFF-MAP vehicle hoarders!!
MitchRan91 replied to BossFi's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I imagine alot of people will not agree with this however; This is meant to be a zombie simulator and realistic, so how does having your car blow up after 6 hours create that? Infact going further with this, there wouldn't be any fuel left in rl so in turn there would be no cars at all.. Anyway getting off point. Most people commenting on this, have never used a vehicle or kept one for any about of time, they have simply seen on youtube you can get trucks or a bus and now are bitching they haven't got one after 20 minutes of searching and blaming hoarers. The thrill of finding a vehicle is FUN, the task of then maintening and keeping secure is FUN. I've used 4 vehicles in the past month and abit i've been playing. And only just managed to keep a vehicle for the past 3 days. Then we found another, we stored it, we drove it, crashed it, moved on. I have no problem if people want to store something off map, I just have to search alittle bit harder, but for everyone moaning: Maybe alot of the vehicles have been destoryed. Maybe don't just search where the loot map says there will be a vehicle. Switch server Or, just play the game, and you'll find one when you find one. I imagine now that this will be trolled but oh well, it is the internet, Just i thought I should let you know that. I don't hoar off map, I'm too lazy to drive/walk back that far.. -
Had quite a run of events last night! I understand that this is long, and I’ve broken it up to chapters? To make it maybe more interesting or easier to read. Backstory (Boring Bit) We found the Ural Civilian in pretty decent condition, but it could do with fixing, so while one of us stayed to over watch the vehicle the other ran to the NW airfield to try and get some parts. Are luck was amazing; we found scrap metal and fuel in the first hanger! We then decided to stock up the truck with everything we could we travelled to: Vybor - Pustoshka - Habaino - Stary Sobor - Gorka - Berezino - Krasnostav. looting everything we could, we wasted no time, we drive right to where we wanted (Supermarket, Hospital, Barns) loot everything then speed off, barely spending more than 5 minutes in each location. We didn't see another player all night... until later. Another friend of ours came online and we explained we had found a Truck, so we went back to NW airfield to pick him up. There were now shots in the distance so he ran and met us and we drove off. No sticking around. We looted different places before we decided to head back to Berezino... Trouble beginning at Berezino: We drove back to the hospital hoping for a fresh supply of blood bags; however two of us were suffering from Graphical Glitches . So we both restarted our game (seems to work for now) while our third friend went to the hospital. He got there, grabbed what he could (however by now a lot of zombies were about) I log back in and jump back in my driver’s seat. I somehow misclick and set the horn off. That was it... EVERY zombie in Berezino was on to us. I jumped out and we all ran back to the truck, we must of killed 150 zombies between us. We kill most, finish off one more then more would spawn! We had a M249, M16A2, and M4A1 not the quietest guns! My friend was hurt badly. He had to bandage while we kept fighting... It seemed never ending. We started to run low on Ammo, so we dived into the truck and drove off. As it turns out, that was the easiest part of the evening... Look a boat! A fourth and final friend that he would log on soon, but was NW, however he said he would run south and meet us, so we decided to head to factory below Berezino. No drama there got some repair parts for the truck. Heading south along the coast, I suddenly spot something. A boat! (May I add that by this point it had been a few hours without any contact, so I apologise for the bandit action, it bites us later). I spin the truck round and we follow it and get past. We all jump out and light it up! I can only imagine the players face as to what was happening. He was just boating along, when a truck comes out of nowhere and opens fire. He was headshotted and boat destroyed. If this was you, we apologise, you were in the wrong place at the wrong time buddy! Never go to Cherno..(Attack 1) We got back in our truck laughing at previous actions, now heading to Kamenka, where our final friend was heading. We drove thought Solnichniy – Kamyshovo and even Eletrco fine, we thought we were going to have a trouble free journey… nope! We enter Cherno, we decided to go thought the middle / coast side to avoid mountain snipers! Driving at a good speed when all of a sudden, two appeared out a building and opened fire at us immediately (1 Winchester and 1 Pistol). Friend 3 is hit. 12k – 3k and bleeding! I drive round a corner he jumps out and behind a wall and starts bandaging. Friend 2 jumps out and hides. I stay in the truck. They come running around the corner for the truck, bringing a lot of zombies with them. I drive forwards, one is following me. I hear a fire fight break out! Can hear my friends over Skype, the confusion who was who, they killed one of our attackers, however Friend 3 was passed out, and Friend 2 suffering graphical glitches so reset his game. I was being chased by a man with a Winchester and a lot of zombies. I made a mistake and put it into a corner; I slammed it into reverse and span the truck round. I hit the guy! And knocked him out, I wasn’t taking chances; I jumped out, 2 shots to the head, 1 murder. Sorry friend. He had nothing, but a tent and the normal equipment and some food. I only had time to grab the tent, before jumping in the truck and heading back to help my friends. Found them Epi-penned Friend 3 and blood bagged, panicking as we knew people will have heard us! Friend 2 needs blood bagged. We were all alive and on our way! We sped off… Never go to Cherno (Attack 2) We can see the edge of the city! We are going to make it! All of a sudden automatic rifle fire opens on us! Man in a Ghillie by the supermarket behind us someone shouts! In Panic I alt and look behind us while trying to angle the truck so we were protected! However I wasn’t looking where I was going. SMASH! Right into something. Front left wheel gone engine damage! SHIT! It wasn’t driveable. Friend 3 with the M249 jumped out on the left, me on the right, our attacker must of not known how many there was of us. But Friend 3 went full on Rambo emptying nearly a full clip! He’s down. He has some equipment I didn’t have, quick loot and we were off. But the truck was damaged… Priority number 1, find a spare tire! The only parts we didn’t have! My friends ran back in Cherno to the nearest industrial building. I sat in the Supermarket, my heart pounding; I knew there would be more heading to us. Our luck was back! First building they entered, we had a tire! I ran out to help them fix it (mistake) it was ready, when all of a sudden we here reloading (very close). “Someone is in the supermarket!!” We spilt and run towards the doors. A lot of bullets exchanged! “I’m hit!!” Friend 3 is hit 1k blood and bleeding. Friend 2 takes down our second attacker but by now zombies were all around. I was fending them off. Friend 3 bleeds out and dies. We clear the zombies. I run into the Supermarket. Pick up Friend 3’s M249 and Coyote backpack (with DMR) and his other equipment. We run back to the truck and head west. Lady luck was with us again; our friend spawned just west and easily found us. He decided to run back and see if he could get my M16A2 and Alice pack back (even though we had FAL, AKM, AK-74) in the truck. This was a mistake. He got there and got the gun but while looking for the Alice pack was sniped… We decided to move on. He spawned at Kamenka, just where our friend 4 was heading. The Final Siege We set off once more. Passed Balota and Komarovo. We were close to Kamenka, when we suddenly see two guys in the road. Heavy armed! I can’t go round it would slow the truck down. We go on direct chat, just passing thought guys, they asked us to stop and for food, but we weren’t taking any chances we had already been injured enough. They got closer, I hit the gas and sped off, they opened fire! 2 AKM’s? I was hit thought the truck 10k to 6k! Bleeding but not heavily. We all thought the town/village. We find Friend 3. “GET IN!” and we sped off down the road to the woods. We stop behind the trees, I am healed up, and Friend 3 rearms himself at the truck. I pass him the DMR from his bag, and keep the M249 for myself. Gunshots! But not at us. It was the guys we had just seen, they were fighting zombies thinking we had left. Payback time! I run north into the woods then east then back south to the edge of the village, Friend 2 with the M4A1 goes towards the coast and the Friend 3 Sniper sits on the tree line / road. We saw them, now 3 strong. This was going to be tense. They were in the shit though.. A lot of zombies, they were running. They ran into a building with only 1 exit. They were trapped. I had eyes on the door. Zombies were piling in, bullets constantly being fired. We let them waste there ammo. Soon the sound changes to pistols. The zombies are dead. A guy comes running out. I open fire. No mercy. He runs round the building to the other side. Friends 2 and 3 engage. Can see him bleeding. He runs back to the doors. I open fire again. 1 Bandit kills. I am suddenly engaged, pistol rounds hitting the tree i'm next too, zombies also running at my direction, I’m up and sprint to the woods. I lose the zombies and creep round to the house again; Friend 2 crawls up to the house. Smoke grenade to the windows blocks there view to me. Frag Grenade in the door. Boom. Bandit kill for Friend 2. One more. We scout thought the windows. Attacker 3 had died... Must of been hit and passed out. We looted there bodies. Nothing we didn’t have. Friend 4 (Finally) arrived. And got some NV’s and a new weapon. We hid the bodies and got back to the truck. We had made it... We drove north east to our camp. Saved the truck and logged off. Single greatest day I have every played on DayZ. :D If you read all of this, then you sir/madam have my beans :beans: . It is nice to share the stories and I hope you enjoyed reading it as I did writing it!

Sadly no, There are hackers/bandits on almost every server. It only takes one douchebag to shoot you unnecessary, doesn't matter the server. You may find one with a clan that are helpful and don't shoot on site.. but that doesn't stop anyone else :|
