You need to be more sneaky. There are a lot of people out there that want nothing more than to kill you. If you don't want to kill people then it's usualy best to just sneak by and say nothing IMO.

Please edit your original post instead of double posting. Thanks!

There is no one up north. In about 40 hours of gameplay I've seen 2 people. One I had to kill because I walked in on him hacking the living crap out of my unconscious friend with an axe (who I was searching for a means to revive), and the other said "hello" and then we parted ways.

Well it's definitely better than it was towards the end of the mod where everyone killed on sight, but I still don't really feel that the right balance is there. Right now I'd say we're at somewhere between an 10-20% to 80-90% split where 80-90% are KoS players. I think there are two main contributing factors for this though... 1) There isn't much to do in DayZ right now. Once more items etc. are added and it takes longer to gear up (or progress your character) people will be less bored, and less likely to resort to Coast of Duty. 2) Right now there are a lot of new players and probably a lot that don't really know what DayZ is. They just jumped on the hype train when they saw a game with zombies and guns. I don't think that these players will last long and feel that they are responsible for a considerable amount of coast wars/KoS type gameplay. Hopefully we'll end up closer to a 50:50 split and people will actually start using the rest of the map as time goes on.

How can you know it was the same guy? :S I think a cooldown timer between joining servers needs to be added though. 10-15 minutes would make all the difference in the world to ghosters. Assuming it was the same guy - it would have taken him 10-15 minutes before he could have even started making his was towards sniper hill and once he got there another 10-15 minutes before he could switch back to the original server, and this wouldn't be a huge inconvenience to people who need to connect to different servers for legitimate reasons.

It's open to abuse therefore probably will not happen. In WarZ people keep two characters close to each other so that they can pick up easy revenge kills if they get killed.

dgeesio, what happened to posting "there is nothing you can do to stop KoS" in every topic on the subject? Had a sudden change of heart? :rolleyes: Yup, worrying about the potential actions of other players pretty much is the game. It's a tricky thing to balance if you think about it. On the one hand - if you introduce PvE servers, then there is no worrying. Everyone is friendly and singing songs around the camp fire. But on the other hand, when everyone just kills on sight you don't worry about what other players might do because you already know that they're going to shoot you and you have to shoot them first. I think what the devs are aiming for is a balance where some people are friendly and some people are bandits as that is what makes for the best gameplay.

As above - get off the coast and head north. It's like CoD with zombies down there...

I've got an i5 3570k @ 4.5Ghz and a GTX 780 (non-Ti) and I run at 40-100 FPS on almost max settings. :S I would have thought you'd be performing a bit better than me... Have you tried disabling HT on that i7? And are those numbers while recording/streaming?

Did you try reconnecting to the server?

Where is that? Nice find.

Absolutely not. ChernElektro is bad enough without 10ft phalluses on every wall.

Please try to use the correct sub-forum in future. Moved to Troubleshooting.

Some people are just ignorant...

Keep it civil please, gents.

Logically thinking - how do you plan on repairing broken weapon parts? It would be much more fesable to simply replace them...

I didn't imply that it does function in the same way that blood does. As I said - it should help improve your condition temporarily until you are able to get a proper transfusion...

It's caused by joining a server that's not set up properly. Stick to servers with official looking, area-coded, names e.g. "GB 1-27", or "NL 3", not like "Mos1ey's awesome DayZ server" as they're the ones that tend to cause resets.

I'm not sure which survival simulators you've been playing but "the only way to stave off the sickness so it does not kill you, is to keep eating people" does not sound very 'authentic' to me. xD

This is to do with the skeleton and terrain, it's not as simple as simply deleting a few lines of code and rewriting them. As above - watch your step and don't go flying off the side of staircases. xD

The pedometer and watch would, but I'm not so sure about the compass. I'm not too sure what purpose a pedometer would server anyways though. :S

Try a lower mouse sensitivity. I've got a massive mousepad and from one side to the other (44cm) equates to a 180° turn for me. If you slowly work your way down you should notice a gradual increase in aiming ability over time.

I don't know who Wulfie is and he has 1 unknown VAC ban from 3 years ago. Are you serious?

Most smartphone apps rely on GPS/3G. I can't see them being useful for much other than a camera or light source.

If you buy it now you will get all future updates as automatic free downloads through Steam. No, you would not have to pay twice.
