Every game is going to have hackers. It just sucks more here since we're not all spawning in a box 10 meters from each other. I've had great luck on private hives and whitelisted servers. The only hackers I come across are using very passive hacks. They still ruin the fun but I'm not getting teleported, script killed, or shot by some hacked weapon.

Super Hardcore Auto Aim: Off Armor: Off Players on Map: Off Crosshairs: Off First Person: Off Third Person: On Peripheral Dots: Off Death Messages: Off Scoreboard: Off My suggestion.

This plus: Bottles of bleach with X remaining uses. Water filters. Probably a tad rare given the setting. (http://www.rei.com/category/4500461) Pots to boil water in.

I noticed the amount of players and how long the server has gone without a reset impacts the loading time. I would have just found a better server.

Sounds like you were playing with the Gaggle of Douchebags clan. Clans are usually only as good their leadership.

The guy that actually created the port did all the work, asked permission to actually use the map created by an ArmA community member, gave credit where credit was due, and continued to support the open nature of the mod by releasing it to everyone to be run on any server and on any host. Villayer comes along, snatches the code, locks it down so it can only run on their network, slaps their logo on it, claims they did all the work, and shit on the community. That's pretty cliffy.

We don't need daddy Rocket to tell us what's flat our wrong.

I do almost the exact same, minus the third person. Remind me to ask Rocket for a "no first person" option. I'll say this again, the "fairness" problem only arises when first person players and third person players play on the same server. I say, force everyone into third person. That's the opposite side of the coin. Don't see why it's not as valid.

M9sd is nice but it's rare and so is the ammo. Definitely a good sidearm. G17 is more common, has a flashlight, and the ammo is easy to find so I usually take that.

Sounds like everyone is playing on a mostly original version of Panthera.

What? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/98907-new-map-panthera-whats-your-opinion/#entry932019

This is the kind of thing the community should stand against. This type of shit needs to be squashed now before the standalone comes out.

I'll be happy if the zombie AI is increased so drastically that the average life expectancy drops to 10 minutes. I hope they change the texture on that lighthouse. A simple spray painted message of "don't do it!" or a suicide hotline number seems appropriate.

I support this but you should have a chance of getting sick by doing this. I think we should filter or boil our water before consumption. (water filter! new tool)

Appreciate it. Going to give it a shot tonight. Any word on the differences?

The fact OP actually mentions suiciding as a legit means of play speaks volumes about him. Stop deathmatching.

That's shady. Is there any way to find non villayer version of Panthera and the servers hosting it? I only installed via Commander because there's a lot of bullshit downloads floating around.

I'm at about 10k humanity last time I checked.

Panthera is awesome.

Standalone for sure. Luckily I'll likely be a couple days behind the wave so I can watch vids and streams before forking out the cash but the changes in the scripting is enough of a reason for me. Hopefully they'll open the mod up to the community so we can play with it. While it's not strictly in line with Rockets vision, I honestly want to make custom missions and events in DayZ.

This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the hackers magically finding everything with zero effort. I wouldn't mind a tent being tied to a player but that would raise even more problems.

Smells like scripters but I can't say for sure. Btw, you should use direct com text/voice in that situation.

Nope.

Definitely on private hives and servers. Not sure about public hive servers.

Crouch run with flashlight. He'll point it at the ground. When I travel between cities I turn the flashlight on only when I need to check the terrain in front of me. Once I get a good idea of where I'm running I turn it off. When I get closer to towns I crouch run so the light is pointed at the ground. This keeps the light I'm emitting very low. I then throw a lot of flares in various directions as far as I can towards objectives. They'll burn for quite a while and the more there are the less likely someone can pick out my location. In buildings I'll throw and pick up a chemlight so I can keep my primary out and still be able to see the ground and loot. If I spot anyone I'll immediately scroll to drop the chemlight and move away from it. This works well for me. Surviving and looting at night is pretty fun but I wouldn't suggest deathmatching this way.
