This server is awesome, friendly guys, active admin. Bases are epic and a great way to protect your stuff. Need more players to come and shoot AI and each other!! Roll up and roll out!

Actually you have not said anywhere near nuff.. Any reason why your ignorance has led you to believe there is only room for one heli per server?

An hour has past... We have been trying to rebuild this damn heli for an hour..... 6 guys, 2 protecting the broken heli 4 in 2 vehicals driving like mad men to get bits to fix this bloody heli.. Finally... enough glass in this thing tin can to hold fuel. That sound... The blades swinging round and round past my head. It truely is awesome to see something you have spent so much time fixing fire into life. Lets blow this popsicle stand is the order as we fly away from the area towards a distant fueling tank. I'm happily gripping the M240 on the side occassionaly firing randomly at the nothingness below. "SHIT..." What are the chances to 2 helicopters attempting to fuel at the same place.."BLOW IT UP" is what I hear from the Server Admin, I struggle to see from my side of the heli what they are talking about, The other cannon is raining rounds at something but i can't see what. As i finally see what they are talking about the heli has fled the scene and we NEED fuel so we land. Easy enough 3 of us, 2 on jerry's and one l85 on 'look-out.' Another eternity.. Jesus this heli takes a Butt tonne of fuel... "how much to go i ask?" "almost done" is the reply as our 'look-out' pops in and out of the cab checking fuel levels. I'm standing facing the side of the heli for the what seems like 50th time when, "BANG, CRACK" i hear as my screen goes black. I feel like i spotted as i faded from life the brain matter from my scull spread across the side of the chopper chassis, I remember thinking that shot sounded CLOSE. Jesus i think, someone has bloody shot me close range whilst tramping fuel up the hill. I start hurling abuse over the TS.. To hear, "shit shit shit shit, im down and bleeding.." Hmmm the assumption that friendly fire has killed me is starting to move towards the unlikely column.. there was only 3 of us there and 2 are down now? Screams of "get in the choppah and get out of there" fly over TS. "Im dead" our look out anounce's over TS. So truth be known... We wern't alone. The elation of fixing a heli, engaging another heli in flight and finally having the pinacle of transportation in our hands had blurred our set of rules we had used so many times with all vehicles. 1. Are zombies there, Yes = Someone else is then, move on. Ok so the other heli had spawned them so we wern't to have known if anyone was left behind, but thats exactly it. we didn't know. We should have flown on to another fuel station. Hindsight is 20/20 Live and learn? Well kind of, we were lucky enough that someone else from our group had heard the comotion made a B line for the area, had not been spotted and m104'ed there heli pilot killing the lot of them, but that won't bring me back to life. Now to start to look for another Heli.

The Problem is that the "threshold" of a low population server is dropping Used to be less that 15 you were reasonably safe from hackers, i have been hit recently with only 5-10 of us on being launched into the atmosphere.. I even had a invisible hacker singing happy birthday to himself the other night from less than 5 feet from me all the time no-where to be seen.,... I suppose he thinks he's clever and is probably crawling forums to find people talking about him.. If your reading this... love your self much?

First of all : I back you Rocket, Go Hard Bro, I hope you stem the growth of the pathetic hackers who wish to take your dream from you through there own selfishness, inpatience and inability to play to the rules. The hackers may in the end be the true dayz end of this game But here's my recent experience for anyone who cares to read.. I have started to game with a guy called John found on a steam Dayz group. We were both in a Stary among the line up of military tents when I spot through the DMR scope a guy following John. I let John know what’s going on and say hold your nerve he hasn’t fired. John makes the decision that his life is at risk (which you generally do when I guy is pointing a scoped rifle at you) and opens fire dropping between 2-4 pistol rounds in the player before he returns fire dropping John on the spot. (M14 Rifle vrs Makarov Pistol I get that, John should have weighed up his situation better) In revenge mode though, I let rip with the DMR 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 shots into this guys chest… blood flies away from him as the bullets rip through his ghilli suit. He brushes himself off, turns towards me scopes and fires. First shot turns my screen grey (half blood) second shot finishes me. John seems nonchalance about it all (getting used to hackers?) but i had clocked up ~150 Zombie kills on that life had a full kit of everything but the night vision goggles, and was actually enjoying having a run of several nights in a row without being removed of my life force... Im gutted. Another hacker has ruined another of my runs… No one can take 8-10 shots, without cheating. Everyone has a breaking point, of which mine was approaching fast which is why im so glad that someone has invited us to play on a Private server, off the hive. Im sorry that i can no longer participate in the Alpha for Rocket as a fellow Kiwi and support the growth of this game by testing for him but I have had to make a decision about the use of my free time (I have a family, a career, my time is limitied) and the dissapointment of being cheated of this is too much. At least eventually the only players who will be left are hackers so they will be easy to spot? And they can hack the life force from each other..

I logged in last night after being air teleported tehnight before to try and see if i could start the whole gearing up process again. (Yay 4 u hackers....) To find i was alive! laying in a paddock east side. got up ran back towards civilization, happy to still have my stuff. When.. running through a paddock in the middle of no where I hear... "happy birthday to me.... Happy birthday to me....." It sounded reasonably close, but EXTREMELY creepy... Thinking i was about to be teleported to oblivion again i logged out ASAP... Then thinking maybe i was hearing things.... I logged back into the same server (silly me, NZ17 i think) and again, someone standing next to me invisible, whispering creepy sh$t in my direction, most of it incoherent but enough to bug me right out. I never heard this person move so maybe they wern't close and maybe i was just being a pussy, maybe they had binoculoars and were standing in the trees a mile away, but either way.. Because of hackers i wasn't standing around to listen to strange noises... How cool would it be if the Zombies did say more random 1 liners... Like memories from their pasts.... "I want that report by tuesday...." "look at the cute zombie looking fullah...." "Why are you biting me??"

As a new player I can respond to a few of the "how new players are going to react" comments such as above. It's refreshing. Sick to death of the COD series, hackers, predetermined story lines, set roles and responsibility this game is Truly refreshing. It's Hard very hard to learn. But I think if it wasn't, this game would suck, it would be full of children and Muppet's and the complaints on here would be not of game issues but of the maturity levels of the people whom play it. The learning curve is IMO probably slightly steep but probably close enough. I can't wait to build up an armory and go and kill some zombies etc. but that wish is going to have to wait as I can't seem to live long enough, but I would think that's the life of teh game and something that will get better with time. I can with patience get in and out of a town and get firearms and personally I think that's not bad as I only have just clocked up 3 hours in ANY ARMA game after buying ARMA2 and not liking it, your bosses should be happy that I'm back willing to push through that learning curve of the controls. (OMG what a pain in the butt) to enjoy a product by your team. All and all I, personally think you have a fantastic product if even still in alpha, you and your team should be proud of what they have created with 0 marketing. Now on the actual post - Patch Only concern is the aggro ranges and speed of some of the zombies, but that has been well covered, I'm just trying to even up the anger in here :)

I agree, the idea that you can medic like a doctor, fix cars like an engineer and fly helicopters like a seasoned pilot isn’t real enough 2 minutes into the game, your character should “learn” these? Meaning when someone who has been alive for 3 days who has bandaged himself 12 times he can easily perform a blood transfusion, where as if you have been alive for ten minutes rushed into the hospital been shot bleeding you grab a blood pack and half of it should end up on the floor and you should get sick through infection..Same goes for fitness levels, i.e. running everywhere, engineering skills, cooking the works. I bet this isn't possible but in the ideal world this would be awesome and WOULD make you value the life of your charactor more.

If your a steam user I would jump onto this thread and follow this process. Worked for me and a LOT of other people who have been having issues.

I cannot recommend this any more and a HUGE thanks to the person who threw up the original post. SOO FRUSTRATED LAST NIGHT Found fix before work this morning and nearly didn't come to work today! Can't wait to get back into it tonight!
