    Your "hidden" camps.

    Ive had a tent up for 5 days. I thought it was a great place to hide it. Turns out there are 5 (single) tents with 300metres of my tents. I did a quick scan of the area before I layed mine down, but because I go through that area alot I end up finding them.

    Does sniping need a nerf?

    Most snipers carry an assualt rifle or SMG in their pack. Wheres the handicap then?

    So, I use hacks, this is WHY

    As much as I hate hacking, I've no doubt that what the OP says about the KOS situation in game perpetuating the amount of hackers in the game. Alot of people, myself included, came here because we seen videos of this cool new Zombie survival game where the things you could do were limited only by your imagination. It turns out that this was half true. What you can do in the game is limited by the people in the game and since most people have no creativity they went for PvP KOS and stopped the game from playing the way Rocket had intended it to.

    Finding Your Perfect Gun

    Lee Enfield, 1866 and CZ550 are my favorite weapons.
  6. Head north directly to your tent and rekit out immeditately. Then head to stary.

    Reallly?

    Rocket is a dreamer who is in over his head. DayZ will never reach its full potential. But its the best we got right now. Eventually a real developer will come along and make real game like this concept. No, I don't think that will be WarZ.

    What happened to these forums?

    The mod has been very idle lately.
  9. I only find Cherno useful for an initial loot run on a new life. After that there are better safer options depending on what you want. My backpack/inventory is only so big, no need to go to such a high loot area.
  10. They do it because they are stat whores.
  11. Sounds like OP should rent a server.

    Retention Dropping

    There were over 12,000 legit bans in the first major ban wave. Now with all the script restriction and bypassers being dealt with I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to 30k bans. Just saying 20k as no doubt some would have bought new keys. Would be interested to hear what BI has on their tally. I think of the players who were incorrectly banned, no doubt many would leave as it probably would have been the final straw in the game with all the other problems that go with it. I quite possibly would have left.
  13. About to go to bed. If you wait til tommorrow Id happily do it for free. Would be around 5pm (+10gmt)

    Graphic glitch on dead soldiers

    Graphical glitch also makes me sad :( Not all the known methods work for everyone. None of them work for me.

    Retention Dropping

    Around 20,000 players stopped playing when they were globally banned by battleeye. For me fixing the Graphical glitch would open up alot more content of the game to me. I can't loot any military spawn :(
  16. I have had one up for 4 days now. I have had gear in there since I put it up and nothing has been lost. But I'm seeing alot of people saying they are not saving properly or something to this effect? How is this happening? I would actually like to avoid losing stuff, I only just got back into the habit of using tents after deciding not to use them as hackers constantly destroyed them, stole from them or killed me whilst I was near one.
  17. Ive been doing 1-2 hour loot runs each night and emptying any non-serious stuff into the tent. I prefer to keep the rare stuff on me, although I don't have much rare stuff. Mostly its just food, water, spare medical supplies and common ammo (no rare weapon ammo I only use common weapons). I save twice and leave. Next night I return and everything has been there thus far. I figure if I leave any serious stuff in there Im more likely to be griefed. People see anything like NVG's I might as well say goodbye to them and the tent. If they just find basic stuff in there, they might take some and leave or not even touch it at all.

    Still haven't found...

    Ive been playing for about 1.5months. I personally have only found 1 ghillie suit and 3 NVGs. Never found or even been given range finders. 2 of the NVGs Ive had where from Military Zombies at Deer stands. The others were at NWAF. I was fairly lucky getting the NVGs at NWAF because I have graphical bug and can't enter there very often. I regularly get Coyote backpacks and Alice back packs though. If you get some deer stand loot runs going you can get them pretty regularly. I do loops of Deer stands depending on where I am.
  19. Depends on the server. I used to play with a clan and the amount of action that happened with bases was insane. I honestly don't bother with vehicles, they are too big a target. If your going to make a "base" I seriously wouldn't put more than one tent up. Any more and your going to end up getting griefed. If you put more than one up, spread them out by like 3kms. Larger amounts tend to get "griefed" pretty quickly, whilst single tents seem to be left alone. People will find and tents or vehicles you have, its just a matter of time. The map is way too small to hide them. Although, one thing Ive noticed just recently and I don't know how they are doing it, but some people are pitching tents inside rocks. The just have the end of a tent pointing out of the rock whilst 90% is inside the rock. Probably the best hid tents in the game, wish I knew how to do it. Also this: I presume you know hackers can identify any tent/vehicle on the map. This is why I mostly only leave stuff in tents they don't want, like food and water. I carry the main things I don't want to lose with me.
  20. The correct pronunciation in Australia is actually Day Zed. Dayzee sounds kind of gay for a "hardcore Zombie survival shooter". But then it is easier to say it quicker.

    Choices! M16A4 ACOG or Bizon

    For dealing with Zombies the Bizon, for PvP the M16. IMO the M16ACOG is the best assualt rifle for PvP and one of the better weapons in the game. The Bizon is a little out of place. Its overkill for Zeds. Your better off with a M9SD secondary or an M4A1CCOSD which is still good for pvp.

    How can you still enjoy this game?

    Ive pretty much been practicing and testing parts of the game. I know the developers aren't really interested in input into the game, but I still want to see what its flaws are. Im not so much playing the game but testing it. If the time comes where devs want input ill be jumping in line to have my say. If not, Ill know what the flaws in the game are and be able to use them myself.

    Alpha testing is over for mod

    I don't know about anyone else, but Ive seen a huge decreasing in scripting in the last week. Ive mostly been playing on a private hive, which may make a difference. But seriously I have almost lived for a week and I play like 5hours every night. Previous weeks Ive been getting killed 2-3 times a night by hackers.
  24. Only stupid people hang around playing this mod. Smart people moved on and might come back for standalone. Yes I realise I answered in this forum.

    3 cooked steaks, 4 cans of pasta, 5 cokes, 1 pepsi, 2 painkillers, 2 morphine, 1911 + 4 clips, 6 bandages, Lee enfield + ammo. I might be about to lose it all, I just logged out stuck on a rock!
