Around Black Lake (133 033) and Willow Lake (132 037) are common areas for people who play legit and loot NEAF and Berezino. So they will have alot of survival items as well as gear, weapons and ammo. Alot of players build up North of Gubya water inlet as well as there are some flat areas up there with no objects which won't delete tents. North of Petrovka around some of the peaks tend to have some serious clan tent cities. The towns nearby aren't really good for that far North. But there are some clearing that can give you quick runs to places like NWAF and Devils Castle. Along the 005 longitude, there are alot of tent cities. But they are well known and its hazardous having them there (from experience). Search the forests that share clearings as clans/players who have vehicles use the clearings for quick runs into NWAF.

It will mess with hackers for all of 10 seconds whilst they decide whether to risk updating or not, then remember they can buy another CD key for $5 and not give a fuck.

Do you even know what your talking about?

The game isn't going to see much development. Rocket is talking about a 2 month holiday to climb mount everest in April/May 2013 and use that as inspiration for his next game. Standalone is going to get maybe 3-4 months of development and then they will drop it. How much development is that? Its a profit exercise.

Yeah with all the AS50s and any gear he wants from his buddies, who are clearly hacking/duping it in, whilst he camps "coastal cuties" complaining about hackers and cheaters.

I never prone. I only ever run, crouch or crouch walk. Mostly I run. Remember to serpentine run around populated, most players are bad at aiming. Know your buildings and which ones you can use to shake Zombies (buildings with 2 entrances ie barns, pubs). Some cities I find a waste of time looting, Kamenka is a prime example, no double entrance and pretty weak loot drops. If I get a kamenka/komorovo spawn I head straight to balota airfield. Cherno and Elektro are PvP hotspots but I go there anyways as the loot is exceptional and will keep you going for a long time. Other players will often avoid these two towns and head north. If you do that know where the barns and deer stands are because they are some of the best loots if your doing it that way. Looting Cherno and Elektro are the best way to get used to the Zombie mechanics imo. They are easily avoidable and cause no problems after a while.

Really? Tell me more.

Logic is strong with this one.

Ive had a slightly different problem recently. Ive been setting up small camps of 1-2 tents across several servers. Most of them have been visited by hackers, but rather than taking my stuff they have duplicated the fuck out of it and everything they have on them (duplicating themselves). The first one it happened to now has about 80 duplications of a player, a helicopter, UAZ and about 50 tents all full of any weapons, ammo and gear you want. This all from my one tent. Id be fine with it, but Im trying to play this game legit and its hard to do when players are doing this to my tents. Relocating 1-2 full tents of gear that I have is really time consuming.

Yeah well hackers kind of took a big dump on him. Thing is though, I don't think Rocket ever had big ambitions for this game and I still think he doesn't. I don't think he even realises the potential it had. He's basically decide to do a small release game version to make some money out of it. I have no problem that hes doing it that way but honestly don't get your hopes up for this game. Its not going far.

They have alot of time to lose. You know players have been picking up fresh spawns and leaving them on islands in the middle of ocean right? Players find causing other players grief in the game and seems to be the one reason alot of people play it. For those who want to do things in the game other than grief, its best to avoid everyone. Not to mention hackers are more commonly seen on the coast with choppers than legit players because people who play legit know how time consuming it is to build a chopper and they know how quickly an AS50 can shoot it down.

Rocket, just make sure you get a haircut if you go on more tours.

I don't kill. I think Ive killed like 3 people. First kill was just to pop the cherry. The other two were while I was playing with a clan and we went around killing anyone we seen. But I mostly play lone wolf. I can only recall about 2-3 times where I have been killed by a legitimite bandit, every other death has been from hackers.

I think it would be a better system than the current one. I mean hunting/eating cans of food to regenerate your blood doesn't make sense. Your body regenerates blood itself.

Im a little confused. I never played AMRA, but my impression was that it was predominantly a PvP game. But I keep seeing/hearing comments and now Ive seen Rocket comparing DayZ to ARMA and saying DayZ is much more PvP focussed than ARMA. It doesn't make sense to me, why is ARMA less PvP based than DayZ?

A sadistic player in DayZ? Couldn't be true.

There aren't alot of aimbots in this game. If anything a teleporter with ESP.

Hiding bodies should be more common. Being able to loot your own body shouldn't be happening. I don't hide bodies very often though because I don't want to risk a 50 cal to the face, or toe for that matter.

Whilst I may not agree with who your talking to, although I understand his frustration, I would like to point at that you are part of the DayZ forum team and as such you represent those who are developing this mod/game.

I fixed my ATI by changing setting in Catalyst Control Centre. I have a pretty bad/old graphics card (4600). Id tried every other method and none even came close. I couldn't get within 800m of NWAF, stary etc.

I spent like the first 5 weeks of this game enduring that. Then I fixed it by downloading catalyst control centre and changing a few settings. I rarely ever see it anymore and when I do I just hold shift and type -flush and it goes away.

I pat myself on the back for being good enough to last the first 10 minutes of the game.

Theres always a point to a pencil. As long as you sharpen it.

Also, tents save 100% for me. I just make sure I place them on flat ground away from any objects like trees. Ever since I did that I haven't had a problem.

I am only playing on 1.7.2.5. All my bicycles save.
