Where did i say it was a mutation? i think the backstory would be a man with no fingers and eyes was infected in close contact with metal, it gained an extraordinary amount of intelligence after the infection. and the metal blunt fingers was too heavy for it to carry, so he made them into blades, but still, after he had gained that intelligence, he was still controlled by instincts, so he became extremely territorial over the forests and started roaming it.

i realised it was next to impossible to kill, so i changed the final specs for it. also a little trivia: i got the idea after i had a nightmare about DayZ, and this thing was in it. ITS TERRIFYING.

Scared shitless? Thats my plan with this :D

Seeing as it would be extremely rare and easy to get rid off, i dont see that as a problem

What if we added just one more type of Z? One for the seasoned hardcore players, one for the players that wish to face death in its... Well, not eyes... (more on that later) but its incarnation, something so frightening, players would most likely run away from it, rather than try to kill it. This is my idea: A Freddy Kruger Z. Don't get me wrong though, it's all about Z, I use the term Freddy Kruger to describe it generally. This Z would have it's fingers replaced by blades, it would have a piece of cloth in front of its eyes, it would have no mouth, would be of a color that resembles rotten flesh, it would be very weak, but it will be maked up for in concealment and speed, it should be able to break your bones in one lunge at you. But it will have its weaknesses, although few, they may be exploited. You see, this Z has no eyes, so it hunts by sound. It would hear you walk, moving, anything. Throw a can, it will aggro at the can, you know, such things. It would detect you at these ranges: [range of detection] if [soundlevel on HUD is] >15m : "(" >50m : "((" >150m : "(((" <150m : "((((" If it heard you, it would let out a high pitched, really loud, but short screech, but it wouldn't aggro if you didn't keep doing that sound, it would just start shambling at you at 75% of normal crouch running speed, if it really aggroed though, it would let out an extremely loud, long screech, being able to be heard at 1,5km of range (by players). It would only spawn at night, in deep forests and only if specified by the server host. This would put a lot of horror into DayZ for those willing to face it. Just imagine yourself crouch running into a forest, then standing up to run, and when you start to do, you hear this bloodcurdling screech, then suddenly, out of the dark, this horror lunges at you, knocks you down and breaks your bones, then starts chopping at your body, 24 hits from full health and you are dead. Horror at its finest level. THE FINAL SPECS: Speed: normal shambling speed, if semi aggroed, it will shamble at 75% of crouch run speed towards your general direction. When aggroed: it will run at 125% of player sprint speed and 100% indoors, lets out high short screech when semi aggroed, and a long powerful screech when aggroed fully. Attack: Very powerful lunge, deals 200 damage on impact, breaks your bones. 24 slashes from full health will kill. Health: weak, a few shots at the body kills it, speed and concealment makes up for this Spawn rate: One per server, only present at night and only in the northern parts of the forests, when killed it will reappear after 1 hour / 30 minutes (settable by server owner) Weaknesses: Easily distracted, even a tin can may distract it away from you. Only unwary players will therefore get killed. This Z would be optional for servers, and disabled by default (Texas Red suggestion) final specs have been changed, too hard to beat otherwise Tell me what you think and maybe what to improve. Also, suggest a name for it please.

Hahahaha... very funny, now, this seems server related. is there any way of troubleshooting it? also, dying wont help, a friend killed me, and i still couldnt do shit

GOD DAMNIT, help me!

So, i join this specific server i wanna play on, then 5 seconds after i can move, my keys get locked, i cant even press the goddamn windows key, it aint workin. nothing is working. i can tab out of the game though, and the game is running as it should, its just the controls that are messed up. heres an easy TL;DR version: ==== Problem ==== - Controls stop working 5 seconds after spawning on a server, Game keeps running fine. ==== Useful info ==== OS: Windows 7 CPU: i3 2310 (3.2ghz) GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6870 DD RAM: 8gb DDR3 1600mhz (Corsair Vengeance LP) HDD: 500gb SATA II 5400rpm DayZ version: 1.7.1.5 Arma 2 version: 1.60 :: 94103

As I say, my intention is not to ruin the game, just to help off in the very start (flashlight wars) then leave you on your own.

Ok, let me cut this straight, I'm a hacker, and yes you can flame me how much you want, but I won't care or stop hacking, and here is why: I hack to help people. So, this is a touchy subject, this might cause flame wars, but please refrain from that, and moderators: if you want to delete this topic, go ahead, I have your full understanding. Anyways, to really get into the minds of the hackers to tell why they hack, you need to be a hacker, fortunately, I am one. There are three kinds of hackers I have observed: 1. The friendly ones: These guys usually come around to help people off in the start then leave them on their own, as they know that the start from getting a gun and survive is hard. 2. The sandboxers: These guys just roam around minding their own business, a bit lone wolf style, while just having fund playing with the vehicles and the ArmA engine. These guys rarely ever deliberately grief, but it may happen while playing around. 3. The griefers: These are the ones who are hated, the ones who are most disgusting, they deliberately kill people, turning people into cows, break legs and all that shit, even me as a hacker feel disgusted meeting one of these. I am 1. And 2. If I go on your server, I won't do anything of harm, but people don't understand, if we, 1s and 2s, wanna have fun, let us, we don't do damage to the server, and we (nr1:s) will most likely help you find the nr3:s. I've even had one occasion where I drived around in my Abrams, then this guy pops up, so I stop and look at him, letting him know I could see him, then I just stood there as he picked up a rocket launcher and everything, as I didn't know the intention, I just aimed the machine gun at him while waiting. He fired the rocket launcher and I mowed him down. [TL;DR] I only kill if I am shot at (with the intent of killing) and I will always await your decision before shooting. To sum it up: I think you should have more tolerance to the hackers who want to have fun playing around or helping, and keep the anger for the third group. And yes, I made an account JUST TO SAY THIS. Hope you understand and have a great day.
