Halved and then divided by the amount of shots you fired to kill the bandit.

The only safe zone I can think of that makes sense is a ship. I'm thinking a cruise ship but it doesn't matter. To get there you'd need a boat and a radio to home in on the signal the boat broadcasts. Perhaps it's broadcasting it's gps coords in morse code. It's never in the same place and getting there is going to be risky. There you can trade or what not with players or npcs (if really justified). The ship could even be a waypoint between Chernarus and island maps. For this to work, more boats would be needed or the boats would need to drift or respawn back on the beach. Even a row boat would work for brave players.

The type of people playing.

People thinking a mod is the same as a game designed with full access to the engine, they amuse me.

You should totally go post this on the War Z forums.

Derp. Nevermind. I believe we found the problem here. Disregard! ABORT ABORT!

How do you figure? Any "legit" player that takes a single thing out of a tent, loots a single body, or accepts a bloodbag from a stranger is likely benefiting from the dupers and potentially the hackers. So unless you're willing to say you NEVER take anything out of tents or off dead bodies then you cannot claim to be a "legit" player. You are benefiting from this problem like 100% of other players. Wiping the hive wouldn't stop this. Most people know about this loophole and a lot of people are abusing this. The duped gear will be back within a weeks time. The first decent weapon someone finds is going into a tent. After that, every time someone finds something good it's going to get duped. It won't take long. It'll take even less time if only one hacker spawns a single box of items on the server. The only way to approach this issue is to fix ALL the known and potential duping methods, which I hope they're working on for the standalone because they probably can't change that much of the game without impacting the ArmA guys. Until then, take the moral high ground and never loot anything other than loot spawns.. which could be suspect themselves for all you know. Better not try to loot cycle you dirty scoundrel. Better stick to looting zombies you kill.

Uh, no. If anything, I'd like to see the zombies in DayZ get more zombie-ish. I can't wait to see what they do with the zombies in the standalone.

Nope, those lives didn't count. What players did when they finally got the Cherno or Elektro spawn they wanted definitely impacted the numbers.

Yeah bro, nearly 5000 servers and most of your server gets caught up in the 2000 bans? Yeah, that's a hacker server or you play in the wrong place. Besides, I strongly believe you were swept up in the bans and now that you can no longer teleport to people to steal their hard earned vehicles you're here on the forums stirring up shit.

Cars Hackers Barbwire Sandbags Tank traps edit: Tents There are ways to kill and grief other players without using guns and I bet hackers would still run around killing players but they'd get just close enough to yell "BANG" into direct chat before squishing you with a spawned bus.

Interesting. You must not play DayZ though. The idiots would do the following: 1. Shoot target with tranquilizer 2. LOL 3. Wait for him to wake up 4. Shoot him again 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until out of ammo, then shoot with gun.

Sounds more like a hacker stole your chopper because he was too much of a coward to spawn his own.

Should have went for the headshot at first. Always an insta-kill.

I like it the Czech vest pack as it says "hey, I have a backpack but I'm not carrying tons of crap for you to loot, sod off" to players that actually care about that which likely increases survival by 1%. It's also very low profile and doesn't stand out as much as other packs. A Czech vest pack and camo clothing = win, especially when they fix the duping of ghillies and things start to get rare again.

I don't think a lot of the younger guys can wrap their heads around what a mod is.

M4A1 CCO SD Hands down the best lone wolf survivor gun available. If you ever get into trouble with zombies you can take them down without bringing the whole town down on your head. Decent against players in full auto or with a steady aim. Just as good as the crossbow for hunters.

I think we should spawn in bad shape. Half blood or so, maybe a low chance of a broken leg, in shock, maybe with a knife sticking in your back or shoulder. There you go, starter knife, at a cost.

Vehicles don't spawn on every spawn location found on the map. I'd honestly prefer if there were more bikes and if a bike could carry an extra guy (or two for hilarity sake) at the cost of speed.

Tents save. Old tents from other lives wont save new items after a restart but you can retrieve loot. Drop a new tent and save.

Anyone that took the time to create a quit thread likely had no idea what the game was anyway.

Watch him, because I saw him coming long before he got close enough to be a threat.

Fists.

Hey guys! This guy doesn't like the game anymore. WTF are we going to do now!?

Could have easily been a legit camp and some hacker came along and loaded the vehicles up.
