They are the same hackers. After tripping you out they kill you.

Its a known hack.

Note: Im talking about the likes of the Mag58 which can be used with a bipod and has an effective range of 800metres. Are they not in ARMA 2? I would think they would be in this mod. Particularly considering the mod currently has high end military sniper rifles (50cals).

"Day Z lead 'having meetings' about console port"
sostronk replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Getting a console deal would be the best thing to happen to this game. It means big $$$, none of this PC pocket change. But PC will benefit from it becaus more money means more justification for development and feature additions. I know some people have it in their head that it will ruin the game and "dumb it down", but it won't. -
How do you log out? I only spawn on the coast if I don't open up the menu and click abort/disconnect. If I do it by another method like Alt+F4 I spawn on the coast.

Why aren't there HMGs/GPMG's in this mod?
sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Oh true, I thought they fired 5.56. That leads me to a different question, which is why are the effective ranges so low? 7.62 Nato should be effective at least to 800m just with a bipod. -
Why aren't there HMGs/GPMG's in this mod?
sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yeah, which are all LMG's used at squad/section level as a standard. HMG's/GPMG's are more commonly used as an attachment to a company. -
Just lost a ton of shit because my tent didn't save T_T
sostronk replied to Jackftw's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Never had a problem with tents not saving. I have had problems with tents and vehicles being destroyed overnight, pretty much every night Ive had them until I decided not to bother with them anymore. -
Pretty true tbh. I think one of the reasons hacks have been so abundantly used have been because alot of people came to this game with the expectation of being involved in PvP every 30 seconds like other mainstream FPS games. Problem was they couldn't do that legitimitely so they scripted it so they could.

OP do you have a source on this ground breaking news or are you just spreading rumors?

I Walked for 2 Hours Down a Road, To Die.
sostronk replied to sublimitation's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
From my experience, its usually Clan servers that do this. I don't think its from the Admins though, just the clans in general who setup blockages. Doesn't matter to me though, more humanity for me for removing them. -

sostronk replied to sublimitation's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If your having issues with loot not spawning, change servers. Ive had this problem before too. Not sure why but it just plays up on servers, I presume its from servers not performing well/ not getting regular resets or something along these lines. -
Next your going to expect admins to admin.
-
I just avoid them. I back off when I see them. Let them do their thing. If I approach a town and see someone looting I let them loot and watch them leave, then head in to loot myself. If I run into someone in the bush, I tend to take cover. I can usually see them by time there 100+ metres away. Run away from them if I can, if we stumbled into each other and got too close then I try to talk to them casually. TBH though, Ive only run into one friendly survivor who hasn't tried to kill me immediately and in this case I spawned right in front of him on a hill, he seen me before I had completely spawned in and strarted talking to me. I shit a brick thinking it was a hacker who had teleported to me to kill me, turned out he was just a friendly, he says "oh nice shotgun" and walked away.

Sol, I think Im in love with you. Have my beans please.

Does anyone else stumble in the darkness without NVG?
sostronk replied to LaurenDanger's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Usually I prefer night time. Turn your brightness up etc. You see almost as well as during the day, the Zombies have a harder time. Although I was in a server the other night that was too dark. I know the darkness was changed a little while back, not sure if settings can be changed server side. -
I usually wouldn't say this, but how about some paragraphs...

You might want to check your CD key hasn't been stolen...

8 hours of camping items at air strip just to be killed by a hacker
sostronk replied to TheMove's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Protip: Don't camp and don't loot farm. Hackers hate both and will target you more than others. -
Thanks for the link. Download hax.exe nao.

20 words or less: Spawning without a weapon
sostronk replied to rocket's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
YES. I don't need a weapon. I have a bandage and don't sneak around them and have no problem. -
A Few Tips That Help Me Survive 20 Days Average Character.
sostronk replied to MattTheMont's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I used to completely avoid open fields. But after a while I found that "serpentine" running across them was just as good. Even when you are shot at, they always miss. I tried it after trying to kill someone who was in an open field and I missed every shot and he got to the treeline and logged. Its actually really hard to hit someone doing this and I find its just as good as avoiding the field altogether. Avoiding fields is very time consuming. You give away your position, but when they fire they give away theirs. -
Looking for experienced players to join our group
sostronk replied to Cyanide_I's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
What timezone are you in/where in the world are you from? Im from Australia (GMT+10). I work full time and play between the hours of 5pm and 10pm during the week. Alot more on weekends. 30 years old. Let me know if your hours are similar to mine. Im interested in playing with a team on a non hive server, but only ones that play the same hours I do :) -
Dont drink either. They will rot your teeth and your stomach.

Anyone know where the dogs are?
sostronk replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The answer is an obvious no.
