Booo. Think it's going to stay that way? It'll spread and then we'll have page after page of threads crying about bodies vanishing. You've doomed us all. :(

If it's not script related then you should be making a bug report rather than abusing it and allowing other to abuse it.

Got excited at the thought of running a private server locally but then I read it has to run on Windows? WTF? Who runs servers on windows? No linux? What?

I'd rather have the dog do this once it's properly trained.

This thread went downhill rather fast. When they do make this game a standalone title it's still going to cost about the same, if not more, than Combined Ops. I actually hope it costs at least 50 bucks, ideally 100, to really piss of the hackers when they get banned. I doubt this game will be "free" when it's standalone.

Fail troll is fail.

Put them in doorways so it's not just the noobs and gumps breaking their bones there. Equality for all!

Press the key associated with that direction. When you let go it'll stop.

Those tools may be in the next patch.

As for skins. Sure, they're not entirely realistic and you can't really tell someones intention by looking at them from a distance. But we are playing a game and the we're unable to read an avatars body language, eyes, or pick up on that "feeling" someone gets simply by looking at someone who intends to do them harm in real life. Skins in game are the best way to communicate this information until some wild virtual reality system is created. A smart skin system for bandits, heroes, and any other character type that may emerge can be extremely effective in cutting down on the shoot on sight mentality. Players have mentioned their KoS behavior is rooted with the inability to determine if a target is truly friend or foe. Many players may think twice about shooting a roaming medic or hero if they know they're no threat. Will this fix the problem? Who knows until we see what type of system the devs have come up with?

There are many more draws to DayZ than you think. That other game won't have the large map and won't be a survival game.

No one that seriously looks at WarZ will bother playing it. Those that do will quit pretty quickly. Anyway, Not true. I lonewolf most of the time and have plenty to do. Listing problems with bugs in an Alpha or Beta is only useful up to a point. Most of the stuff you listed is easy to avoid or overcome with experience. When someone complains about the doors for example, even though they haven't bothered to search the forums to contribute their opinion to any of the hundreds of posts on the subject, they're going to get called out on it. Doors are not even a problem. I broke a bone once on a door. Once. I'm not a rocket scientist so I'm baffled by the people that let it happen again and again. Getting the action icon for the door or ladder is very easy so I'm not sure why you're acting like it's impossible. Taking some numbers posted on the front page and then making baseless assumptions about them and pulling magical numbers about whose playing and not is pretty funny. Even by your numbers this game is doing well. Google the player numbers of most games from the day they release to a month after. Compare them. Not WoW with Zombies. It's War Inc with zombies.

OP must have gone to Green Mountain.

You're only playing about 10% of the game on 2% of the map.

DayZ, the worst place to meet your mate.

I might have some tonight. I need barbwire and tank traps. I can also get pretty much every bit of car gear needed for repairs. Let me know.

Maybe a clever hacker? Seems odd both incidents happened on that spot but I don't climb that ladder often.

Ah, there are rumors about you cops in New Boston, Texas. Is it true? Is Tyler Durden building an army of survivors?

I'd rather the patch be tested completely than it come out because a bunch of people refuse to find a solution to their problem.

hacking cunts. Whitelists, here we come!

I'd rather he do what he's doing than waste his time in this forum.

The best way to lose zombies is to find a series of pine trees with branches all the way to the ground or a series of large bushes. ZIg zag through them while staying as close to the center of the tree as possible without hitting it. By the third or fourth tree the zombies will lose interest in you. You need to be standing and running for this to work. Every once in a while a single zombie will be more determined than others. If you can't kill it then you need to do the tree thing again but this time make a big change in direction when the zombie can't see you. You can even try making a u-turn at the last tree. Make sure you're not running on concrete or hard ground at this point as they can hear that too. It helps if you use the number pad to look behind you while running. This way you can time things better. Once you master this you can run through towns like a champ and not worry a bit about zombies. You can also throw tin cans and bottles to lure zombies away from your path. Everything else you listed sounds more like lag or maybe players kiting zombies towards the spawns. Look for the lowest latency possible when choosing a server. Since you're new I'd avoid highly populated servers. Get a hatchet, go to your inventory, right click on it, select 'remove from toolbelt', reload :) and now you're ready to at least defend yourself indoors. Don't crawl unless you're worried about players or want to roleplay or something. When you come up to a place like a barn, wait in cover. The zombies will spawn, if they haven't already, and slowly move away from the structure. That's when you can crouch walk (or even stand walk if you're brave) to the barn. Running makes noise so only do that on soft grass or when you're safe from zombies.

^ failed spam bot?

I bet the hackers on the forum are fappin hard to all these threads. Keep feeding them, maybe they'll go away.
