Oh!

Mountain Dew.

This is all just pissing in the wind. Provide the logs of proof or screenshots, as Madness initially did, or quit the squawking. There were no other players...I was the only other one on the server after the camp was discovered. You're just upset that you all were foolish enough to put your entire camp in the FIRST place most camp raiders/bandits look on a server. Maybe you were looking on Madness' without hacks for the camp, however, considering your admin ADMITTED to using ESP, why take the chance? Chopper was taken and hidden and the loc was going to be given for you guys to come and get it, but not sure of it's status as of now.

Second time in as many days and 2 different servers, I log into a pretty remote area to a message "oh! was killed". Spawn with nothing, not even the basics, but keeping my camo suit. Is this some hacker script taking me out or just another alpha gliche? BTW, run back and corpse doesn't exist...

Yes,I usually do. Didnt today, so will see what happens later when I log in. Hopefully its that simple...happenes again today, 4th time in 4 days. Spawned with nothing but at least I kept my Ghillie suit.

If this happens again, try disconnecting as soon as you spawn in the plains and go back into the server. should spawn on the shoreline with all your stuff. Chance your corpse might be where you 'were killed' with stuff on it as well.

Downgraded to 1.7.2.4 to join up with some people yesterday...logged in, Oh! was killed again. Respawn in debug plains, quick disconnected/reconnect, I am at the shoreline with all my stuff. A brisk 9km run to where I was, my corpse is there, with all my stuff. Essentially duped. Considering it payment for the hassle.

Not seeing your server on Dayz commander..

Well, this is a game, and in a game, you cannot look at a generic player model and assess things that you would in real life. If someone is jittery, eyes too close, one large toof on the upper grill, overwhelming scent of urine, you know, things that are going to ring your street sense alarm to avoid or be wary of the fool in question. So in this game, why not 'attempt' to throw some sort of visual clue as to this person might be 'off'?

Keep most, 86 the as50 and m107, they are overkill. Would like to see more mid range weapons...makes for more interesting fire fights with the horrible iron sights and damage decrease.

The other day when I lost everything, US 278. Just now where I was able to log off and into another server to save my stuff...US #NY199

Ok, did that...logged into me laying there, unable to move. Was able to get to my inventory, but not do anything. Started mashing my keyboard in frustration, my toon stood up and am alive now.... got me..

Is there any way to turn down the music, but keep the effects volume up high? I get the ambient mood of the music, but hell if it isn't 'in the way' when trying to listen for footsteps in a tense situation.

I adjusted it before, it just never seemed to lower just the music to an ambient level. Just lowered it all the way. ...and you just had to respond.

First few days on the game, met quite a few people that helped out...since acquiring some higher end gear, its been pretty much a lone venture, which is quite boring TBH. But yes, once I hit a certain amount of rare gear, others become KOS if they are headed my way. Fortunately, others's usually make the decision for me as they open up first.

:blush:

I have a pretty weak laptop, AMD Phenom II, (tricore 2.1Ghz), 4gb mem, 1gb vram on a ATI 5470 and it runs Dayz with all settings turned down. It's ugly and I try not to engage 'busy' areas when playing off it, but it satisfies the fix when need be. Crank everything down, then launch arma 2, go to task manager and right click arma2ao.exe and set priority to high. Not sure if that helps all that much, but give it a shot . I also noticed that some servers I just lag hardcore on...well, until I moved from six launcher to dayz commander and updated arma and dayz to 1.7.2.5...havent had lag/performance issues since.

Sort of had the same thing happen to me. Logged out in the middle of the brush, no reason anyone else would be in that area, upon my screen loading, says "oh! has been killed". I then spawn in some open, desolate plain, with nothing, just my camo suit on. Lose connection to server, log back in, now on the coast, no camo suit, but nothing at all in my inv. I dont care dying legit, but when fugaziness takes over, it's beyond irritating. BTW, this was all done on a low pop server, 5 people total...so they get hit as well.

Tough one, but you were both sitting ducks where you were, especially with them waiting on you and bullets flying from elsewhere.

You can carry a tent in your backpack, so why not another, empty, pack?

If the zombies are going to deal damage on the run, then take away their Usain Bolt speed to catch you. Why the dead have insane, erratic foot speed is beyond me, but it isn't a game breaker BECAUSE they do not deal damage on the run. To tweak your other suggest, maybe add a firearms proficiency to the game. Meaning, I would be able to pick up and use an as50 from spawn if I tripped over it, however, I wouldn't be able to shoot a penny from 800 meters out until I was 'used to handling' it.

What about pack mules?

This. Make it so you are able to be revived from 0-2000, but not with a 100% success rate. And if you are brought back to life, you are pretty messed up and still needing some med attention/food/water.

If I am shot by a bullet, why would it infect me? Maybe if you shoot someone, and as they are bleeding out, it attracts zombies, who bite/infect you on the ground, giving the option to spawn as an infected or respawn on the coast. This would make them choose, seek revenge or spawn to recover your items. Not a shabby idea, but does need some tweeking a bit to 'make sense' and not be too OP/imba. Also, slight memory is pretty good as well, maybe it hints in a general direction of your murderer, which would deter snipers from sitting still and just plucking people from one spot. Offer the infected player night vision, but really limited in distance. Attacks of scratch/bite which can in turn infect someone you attack. Keep the speed of current infected, maybe make the newly infected player a bit hardened, at least to body shots [whats to stop someone from just dropping you again after you reanimate], and throw the time limit onto it. Give the ability to 'hold breath' as not to grunt, but once you breathe again, you make louder, more frequent moans/grunts for x time. So this gives the ability to sneak for a short time followed by a long term duration where your infected position is well known. This would add a pretty sweet dynamic to the game for sure.

A smell algorithm would make things a little more complete. As it is now, Zeds should gravitate in your general direction from smell, but not give away your direct position. Would make sneaking tougher, but not impossible. If bleeding though, yes, you should get horde aggro from it, from quite a distance.
