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.

This is nothing new. This problem peaked a little over a week or so ago and people started taking a break from the game because of the hackers and graphical glitch. Now I run into hackers on nearly every server no matter the population. I was one of 3 people on one server, turns out the other two were hackers. I was one of two on a server, hacker admin. It doesn't matter where you go now. So honestly, I stay on the coast where a 10 minute run can net me a decent gun and some targets to kill. The hackers can see where you are anyway but I'm not going to give them the pleasure of ruining an hour run into the heart of the land. It's only really worth playing with friends as you can talk shit while playing but no one is taking this game seriously for the moment. No one should either until we see what the standalone does or if they're on a private hive whitelisted server.

I still think it stands for Day Zebra but I still haven't found one in game. I think it's a bit of false advertising.

Just so you know... a hacker disabled my debug monitor the other day so it obviously doesn't take much of anything at all to turn it off. edit: And for those freaking out. All Rocket said was the debug monitor would be gone. He didn't say anything else and for all we know the HUD changed a bit to show kills/murders etc. Again, this community freaks out over something small without thinking.

I usually take everything I want. I then place empty tin cans in the tent. I then make sure to save it.

Too lazy to look up the names of all the towns? or OP fail troll? You decide.

Bzzzzt. Wrong. The reason is the hackers. No point in running for 30 minutes to explore only to have some douche mass kill the entire server or appear out of nowhere and hatchet you to death while you pointlessly dump mag after mag into him with no effect. Why waste that time when it's only going to end up in a pointless death? Might as well get some enjoyment out of killing other players before a hacker kills you. The survival aspect of this game has been killed by script kiddies.

" Obligatory LOL. If this game was focused purely on PvP the map wouldn't be any bigger than Cherno.

Go to Big Bend or into the Rockies on a clear night with no moon and then tell me how "stupid" the night is in this game. People need to wrap their heads around light pollution and get away from these monstrosities we call cities.

I hope they don't change that until they've taken a serious look at duping and hackers. Otherwise no one is going to consider playing nights but a small group that enjoy the terror or night. You're right on about the timing though. Weather, time, and moon phase play a big role in how well the gamma workaround works. edit: Some admins adjust the time and settings to prevent this workaround.

I wouldn't mind snipers if: a ) most sniper rifles weren't duped or spawned b ) hackers couldn't aimbot with one hit kill weapons c ) apples That's about it. I salute anyone who can get a legit kill on me with any sniper rifle. It's not an easy thing to do and takes some skill and experience. It's just impossible to tell if it was skill or some snot nosed brat with a hack or some clown that makes his run to his dupe camp to rearm after dying. At least a lot of that has slowed down now that the respawn button has been removed.

Just an idea with no actual backing but have you guys died on another server yet and then tried to rejoin whichever server was kicking you for that script restriction? I just wonder if it's related to some hacked gear or something odd. Try with a fresh life.

Are we pretending hackers are no longer able to magically teleport and instakill us like some type of inter-dimensional beings? Easy: find knife, hatchet, matches, canteen = unlimited survival. There are some really scenic places up north to live and you'll even get the occasional visitor that will never see you. With a tent, toolbox, tank traps, some barbwire, entrenchment tool, and sandbags (are the last two even in regular dayz?) you can setup a nice base in the hills that will be pretty hard to attack without ghosting through it on another server. I have several spots picked out for when underground bunkers become a reality.
