  1. I can't count a single FAL at a crash site recently. But I haven't found a crash site for about 5-7 days.

    Any cheat free servers?

    Gotcha-antihack doesn't really help all that much. Just saying.
  3. Long story. Will try to keep it short. I killed two people looted their bodies. I started North above NEAF (where I got the kills). Headed south to Stary, nobody there, Started to head to Cherno. Noticed the screen was going black and white, then realised I was losing 10 blood around every 10 seconds and I was below 6k. I wasn't bleeding and it was similar to the sickness effect. I panicked and killed a cow and got back up to 12k. I started losing blood again. Figured I had a cold and the "cough" sound just wasn't being made. Started to head to Berenzino to see if I could get some antibiotics. But on the way I stopped losing blood at 11.5k blolod. So went to Cherno. Swept West along the coast. Killed 3 more players. Ended up outside Balota Airfield and there were like 10 players there in a firefight. Killed one. Swung around the North West of the control tower. Seen one player kill another player and then drop down to loot his body. I got around 100m out and tried to hit him whilst he was looting. I missed, apparently. It was alot easier than the previous shots Id killed other players with. He fired back and just missed. Firefight went on. But then he just ran at me. I switched to MKMod0 that was in my pack. Definately hit him with a burst, I seen the blood. But at the same time he hit me. Then he just ran at me. I noticed he acted like a hacker usually does, just taunting and talking tough etc. So I logged. Whilst I was logging I noticed I hadn't taken any damage either. Im sure he hit me. What just happened? Do hackers godmode work on other players as well? Or am I going to log in dead next time. It was about 10-15 seconds from when he hit me to when I logged.

    Betrayed. On tape.

    You made multiple mistakes and ignored some key indicators that they were not friendly. Your mistake.
  5. Dont worry, there will be a time when you want one and none will ever spawn.
  6. So many people, so eager to kill that they will get themselves into the absolute worst positions and situations they can to get the kill. I'm up 14 kills on one life over the past 2 days. Prior to this I only had 3 kills from hundreds of hours because I just wanted to be friendly. Now if someone comes close to me, if they don't seem remotely friendly they are going down. I don't intend on killing everyone on sight, but unless they look genuinely friendly I'm not going to risk it. In most of my interactions since taking a new approach to the game, I haven't had to try to get kills. Most people just offer themselves up on a platter trying to kill me. On another note, this might mean that once players get better at the game they won't be so trigger happy when they aren't being fed kills from players that are intending on playing the game the way its been shown in various Youtube videos.
  7. There are plenty of servers that are well out of date.
  8. If they don't talk I'm shooting. Not talking and me waiting is given them the opportunity to get into a decent position. I find you can often tell in their approach. I don't like to let them get within 200m, but if they are just casually running around then Ill give them a chance to get within 100m and if they talk and sound genuinely friendly Ill let them go on their way, but I won't hang around to test out my judgement. I try to let off warning shots as communication also. Recently a guy tried to kill me, but I killed him. He had everything you need, including an AS50, MK40mod0, range finders etc. A looted his body for some of it and went back to my tent to drop it off. When I came back to the body there was a guy there looting it. I told him he could take what he needed and leave (I had taken all the ammo and stuff I needed most anyways). But he didn't reply. I was in a superior position. I gave him a while and told him to leave. He didn't reply so I shot nearby. He ran about 100m away and crouched, I shot two more rounds and he logged. Location is important too. If its NWAF, Stary or NEAF its pretty much a guarantee they aint going to be friendly. Ghillies and bandits usually aren't friendly either.
  9. These days I find alot of the well geared players are well geared because they alt F4 or run from anyone. At least on Cherno. On Lingor players don't seem to care so much. There are alot of Military spawns and players can get geared up to a moderate level fairly quickly. But there are still some solid items that are hard to get. I mean on Cherno you gotta run 2-3 km before your even at a level where you want to fight, unless your spawn is decent.
  10. Try going for groin shots. Most of the time I get these its 2-3. You should be able to see it hit. But yeah the rego is a bit messed up, chest shots can work like headshots.

    How to make a topic

    How do I go to the forums I want to start my topic in?
  12. The revolver and M1911 only one shot if its the head (or near "enough" to the head). If you shoot them in the torso or limbs it will usually take 2-3 rounds.
  13. To the girl I shot in Cherno last night, Your welcome. I know you were saying you were "friendly" and that you were being nice to people. But I found your giggling really annoying. If you were a guy going around giggling like that I would have shot you in the face. I have given you equal rights and treat you on an even level and thus killing you was my show of respect.

    Nerf doors.

    Yeah mostly only happens when you are proning. Although very occasionally happens when you try to turn in a doorway as well. Seems you kinda twist and can't fit so you break your legs to turn around.
  15. Ive always thought making Zeds much more difficult around Military spawns would be great. I can get in there and loot everything on my own without the slightest of difficulty. I want to be challenged and not be able to get into areas like this at all without help. I don't like the idea of adding anything unrealistic like "super Zombies" just make them larger in numbers and maybe more detection so its not possible to get into key military areas without firepower.
  16. Fck me you snap right in there on those targets.

    Good News 9/21

    Must be a solid delay. I was on a 4 pop server a few hours back and there is a guy teleporting all around me.
  18. Yer there are some. I aint naming them though. Jump on a 4 player public slot and 2 players are hacking. Jump on a private hive with 50 players and not one hacker. R.I.P Hive.

    DayZ Bucket List :: Suggestions?

    I found the perfect place in Lingor for that.

    what does battleeye ban do?

    BattleEye bans CD key. However, from reading some of the hack forums some people have experienced being banned, buying a new CD key and having that CD key instantly banned before they have even joined a game. Not everyone has experienced this though. I presume there is a workaround. I think instant bans might be related to Steam.
  21. That sound is really similar to the real sound of bullets going over your head too. At least from the ones that have gone over my head, thats the way they sounded.
  22. Nah she said when I killed her "OMG Im a girl, Im obviously friendly, why would you kill me?" She kept talking and giggling for ages. I was on top of the hospital defending a chopper whilst my mate went to find parts.

    Do you guys leave the coast?

    I play territorially. I go North, setup a camp and loot. If anyone comes near any of my loot spawns or tent I shoot.
