I see no value in heading north. Running for 20 minutes only to get hacked to death isn't as fun as roaming the coast looking for people to shoot.

There are a few paths through Cherno that are mostly blind to snipers. The hackers are obviously the only real threat once you've worked out how to sneak through Cherno.

That went about as well as expected. I laughed when they were amazed people would "run" to their location and when Rocket tried to pretend the helicopter was legit. Yes, hackers need to run to locations... and anyone with a legit helicopter flies it like a nutter and crashes it into the ground for lulz. Yeah. Sure.

Someone didn't search the place well enough.

Humanity is buggy and I really hope they at least fix the weird morphing back and forth with the next patch. If they fix that and come up with some type of hero and bandit alternative for the camo and ghillie then the system would work better. The hero/bandit variants of the ghillie should be very slight but still have enough of a difference to spot if you're paying attention. The camo would be easier, bandanna or hat to set them apart from survivors while maintaining the current camo suit. Btw, I only shoot bandits on sight, assuming I've got the shot. I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine and half the time they cry about it, which makes me laugh. Before the bandit skin, I was reluctant to shoot on sight. Now, I let regular survivors go free which is pretty dangerous given the bandit skin bugs. Still, I'd rather let a few bandits go than mow down every freshspawn or new player.

I'd rather see an encumbrance system added. It's not impossible to carry a rifle on your back and one in your hands but it's going to slow you down with it's weight and make you're movements a bit more awkward. A simple restriction in movement speed would force players to choose what they carry and loot.

Scumbag OP, justifies hacking with bugs and hackers. Hey! I got any idea! If everyone hacked we wouldn't need to worry about hackers! We could roam around the land until we found a place to setup a base or in search of super hacker vehicles. Then we'd need some hacking zombies to attack us to make it a little challenging and maybe some hacking guns that wouldn't let us hack them in out of thin air. Then maybe an occasional super hacker player that would kill us for our beans. If only there was a game like that.

I understand why people are upset it just seems like the game needs a little something at the moment to breathe some life into it. The update shouldn't be too far around the corner I hope. When does that GamesCom thing end anyway?

So Rockets experiment proved people are stupid? Did we really need a zombie survival game to come to that conclusion? I think not but I'm not complaining.

Depends how it works. If exiting an underground base means suddenly appearing near an obvious door or hatch without any means to defend one's self for a few seconds then I'm absolutely against this. It would be a deathtrap trying to leave these instanced zones. If it means loading into a hidden position from a base with multiple hard to detect exits, then that might not be so bad. I honestly think this underground base thing is kind of silly considering the setting and it seems like a little cheap but I haven't seen any of it in action or heard anything more than a vague description. It's too early to make an accurate judgement on this.

I don't think a handgun with ammo would stop someone from jumping off a building just to get to Elektro faster.

They shouldn't be removed. They should remain rare. If one guy out of 100 had one, no big deal. It's only a problem if that one guy can dupe the shit out of it or some hacker can spawn a ton of them and leave them in a box on sniper hill. We have serious weapon inflation at the moment. They also should look into a way to stop the retarded loot farming and server hopping. That only inflates the problem, breaks immersion, and should be considered an abuse.

Too long, didn't get to the point. I imagined the point was how some hacker or someone kicked his sand castle.

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.
