You lose more than just the tip.. err, bullet. Gunpowder would need to be replaced along with the primer. Removing and installing a new primer into a casing requires special tools. So does sizing the cartridge and adding a new bullet. Choosing the right type of gunpowder and it's appropriate measure requires a nice conversion table. A miscalculation can lead to total weapon failure and maybe a few less fingers if you're lucky. You also cannot use random materials to make bullets without destroying your gun. None of this is easily done in the field and all of the proper components are hard to find even in the states. Maybe 1 out of 1000 gun owners reload their own ammo, maybe. I can't imagine what it would be like in some poor country/state like Chernarus. There is also a reason why we can't slap STANAG rounds into an AK. They simply don't fit.

Would you like 10 million dollars? How about 20 million dollars? 30? Let me ask you another question. What does Rocket look like?

Other - boredom. I'm missing the game's population. Many people wondered off while they waited for the hackers to get banned or the graphics to get fixed. Now its starting to feel like a ghost town. That wouldn't be a bad thing if we didn't have to worry about hackers killing us at any second.

Just do it man... kill yourself. Starting over is more fun than waiting for some guy to kill you and steal your stuff. Might not be as fun as setting a trap for people though.

I hope everything gets wiped. Otherwise we'll still have all the duped and hacked gear in game. The smart money is on complete reset.

I strongly doubt this guy never fucked over other players. Anyway, someone failed to grasp the concept of this game, bought it without researching, and then had to cheat because he couldn't figure out how to report bugs or avoid them. Zombies never hit me through walls, I never get killed by doors, I don't fall, ladders don't kill me... the only thing that kills me is hacking twats that attempt to justify their abuse of the game with sob stories. Thank god douches are getting banned. Maybe if enough of these guys get booted we can get back to playing the game.

I think we're all aware of this by now. The only thing I can suggest is you go back to whatever it was you playing before DayZ because it doesn't seem like you understand what you're meant to be doing here.

I've got 20 Enfields. Interested?

I didn't need to read ops post to know the answer is yes.

It's probably the best place to start. Why start with games that will train him to be an idiot in DayZ? Tactical shooters are superior to the mind numbing run and gun nonsense of fast food gaming.

Uhh.. You can view your controls from the main menu. Normally you can use WASD or arrows in combination with the mouse. It's pretty easy.

Because the system is in it's infancy. Actually, there is. It's just going to take a lot of code to utilize the tons of data the game can record. It's possible but it's going to take a full time team and and some smart people to build a useful system. For now, humanity is doing it's job but poorly. I'm willing to take a hit to humanity if someone takes a shot at me. I'm not at risk of becoming a bandit unless some hero takes a shot at me.

I just switch fingers or use the arrow keys to give my left a break.

I do this partly because I don't care. I know I can be killed by a hacker at any moment so I'm not going to waste 10 minutes skirting a field when I can run across it in 30 seconds. I'll change when I don't have to worry about this.

Isn't this game easy enough? Why ask for it to be easier? "Its like they dropped you from the sky into the wilderness to start out." No shit. You couldn't figure that out? I have quite a few rifles in my home. I guess I should start out in game with those?

Are you new to websites like this? People are always whining about changes or some perceived slight. Half the time they whine about stuff that they don't even understand and then cry "I quit" as if anyone actually cares. You can find this EVERY game forum.

I guess he's looking for tents. A lot of the scumbag pvp snipers just drop tents near their favorite sniping spot and dupe their gear like cowards. If I spawn in Kamenka, I can hit up to 11 deer stands, two hangers, and a control tower before I even get to Cherno. There are two bike spawns near the route so that trip can be pretty short if I'm lucky. If I want to go further north I can hit up 5-6 more deer stands. I usually only need two or three if I'm feeling greedy. I can also just go to Balota and 9 times out of 10 I walk away with an AKM. At the very least I end up with an AK. That's enough to defend myself against non-sniper and non-hacker players. I can also hold my own against other players with just an Enfield or Winchester but I'd rather not have to. I'm not sure what gear you think you need but that's usually enough if I'm going to pvp hotspots. There really is no point in heading too far north with the hacker situation. There is no point in gather anything rare either as it'll just rot away into the ground when some hacker sniper pops you and doesn't bother to loot your body.

You knew there were hackers in this game right? Then why did you spend 8 hours loot farming?

Still playable for me and my friends. I guess some people can't stand to run for 10 minutes and would rather bog down the entire system just so they can respawn where they like. I don't get that artifacting issue very often and I don't hang around places where it happens. Still playable. I wish I could help those with the artifacting issue. I play with most of my settings turned off or all the way down though. I've also never respawned on the coast with all my gear. Again, not sure what I do differently. I quit long loading servers but I never alt-f4 or disconnect to avoid zombies. I also never log out in high traffic areas.

A leaked memo from Rocket suggests they're going to remove Green Mountain and replace it with a big empty parking lot.

This usually happens to me if there are lot of players, zombies, bodies etc in the area. I didn't notice it last night on an empty server. :)

Are there even servers that support that version?

Probably has a lot more to do with the inability to respawn at will. That didn't impact the tracking but the ability to do it again and again until you spawned at Elektro or Cherno to deathmatch like an idiot probably did. Now people have to run to those cities or find something to jump off. That has to impact the numbers.

I don't know how accurate this is but.. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Humanity

I don't type in direct chat unless I'm in a safe position and know whoever I'm talking to can't see me. I use direct com most of the time but rarely get responses. So I end up acting insane on direct com more than anything. And yes, I use vent and ts but I'm always willing to talk to other players but I'm not going to team up with them. Experience has taught me not to turn my back on would-be friendlies. Headsets are only 20 bucks so I suggest picking one up.
