Zombies are most likely the biggest threat..
sostronk replied to Jesters (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Zombies don't deal enough damage, they are too slow, there are not enough of them, their detection range is way too low particularly when weapons are fired, they need to be fixed so they don't bug in forests and lose you easily, they need to be fixed so if they detect you at long range with a sniper rifle they don't stop going for you before they even reach you and they don't deal enough damage. The stats say players die from them much more than from other players. I have no idea why. The only time I have ever died to Zombies after my first 2-3 lives was when I have broken my legs and suicided to them and even then I had to try really hard to get them to kill me. -
Only hackers and dupers are camping the coast/Cherno/Elektro. Fix those problems and it won't be an issue. There just isn't enough legit ammo for m107s/AS50s to be wasting it on fresh spawns who have little to no gear. Its worth killing players with AS50s at Starry or wherever because you have a chance to loot a well equipped player. MAYBE there are some players who are in really well organized clans who can sustain the ammo, but I doubt there would be many and I doubt they waste most of their time killing coastals. Clans like to fight clans and most of the players camping the coast are running solo anyways.

How can you even call this a game?
sostronk replied to HamTheBacon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Meh, the problem is as soon as you reach a certain level of experience in this game, thats all there is to do. Id like to help other players and play more casual roles like being a medic. Can't do it though because you just got shot in the face time and time again. Even if you do blood bag them and bandage them, you know whats coming as soon as you finish. I think thats what happens when you leave a game open to allow players to make of the game what they want. It becomes a Cherno deathmatch. Might as well go play Call of Duty if thats the case because it plays out exactly the same. -
How do so many ppl have snipers and top guns?
sostronk replied to TheMove's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think Ive picked up 2-3 AS50s of heli crash sites and like 200 off dead players I didn't even kill. I tend to avoid players and I loot heli crash sites regularly. Its pretty obvious they come from hackers and dupers. -
Don't know if anyone notices, I usually just go straight to forums by my bookmarks. But someone mentioned its now gone up to 1hour 4 minutes, up from 49minutes. Whats going on bandits?

Was the recent "Hive down" problems from DDOS?
sostronk posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Its a rumor that has been getting around. Just wondering if thats the case or if people are jumping to conclusions. -
Learn to hunt. Food is no problem once you know how to do this. Food is way too easy to come by in this game.

sostronk replied to HamTheBacon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This is just a mod that dreams of being a game, or at least an alpha standalone. -
Why are some servers allowed to cheat?
sostronk replied to infinitegrim's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Have a look through these forums. Take a look at some of the "I hacked and here is why" threads. Half of them have DayZ forum admins coming in and thanking the person for the insight. Then these admins go into other threads and complain about people complaining about being killed by hackers. They clearly don't care about hacking or exploits in this game. -
Here is "MY" Opinion on the DAYZ WARZ Battle...
sostronk replied to SteveZGaming's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think there is a possibility the game will be horrible, but meh its like $30 and less if you preorder so I don't really care. If I get an hour of entertainment out of it, its already payed for itself. -
Here is "MY" Opinion on the DAYZ WARZ Battle...
sostronk replied to SteveZGaming's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Thats not entirely true. Whilst I'm not looking to take sides between games, I just want to point this out. Some of the engine code has been taken from the war inc engine to develop an engine for this game. If you take a look at some of the comments the developers have made about how its a combination of War Inc and Battlefield, they have attempted to develop this engine so it fits with the more complex entities that come with a game like this. Ill probably buy both games and play the one I enjoy the most. WarZ and DayZ, despite being in a unique genre from other games aren't really in direct competition with its each from a profit standpoint. Yet it seems like some players from either need to argue with its other and tell them why one game is better than the other. People have their own minds and can make them up for themselves. -
Am I the only one who doesn't like to use or have snipers in Dayz?
sostronk replied to Brutal-Hunter's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
50cal Sniper rifles are easy mode weapons. Anyone who disagrees is to happy with their easy mode weapon. -
Im going to start a QQ thread about QQ. BRB.
-
Theres not much point. What I found was that whenever I went North, when I wasn't try to deal with graphical glitches that I couldn't flush, a hacker would teleport to me with godmode and kill me. Best to just stay on the coast, not worth making the travel North.

Glowing orbs around zombies, animals, players, ect
sostronk replied to bozack's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You can see people through buildings. I don't need to figure it out. You are a troll. -
The servers aren't advertising the right information. The Admin of the server hasn't added this correctly.

sostronk replied to bozack's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Recruit servers. Those "orbs" are pretty much a hack, don't play on them. -
Anyone notice that every single server has hackers?
sostronk replied to big_t's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yes I have noticed this. If I join a server Im usually just hoping its a hacker with ESP hack or something less retarded then godmode or nuke the server hacks. Or at least something I can Alt+F4 to in time, assuming they don't disable this. Doesn't work. Ive been killed by hackers on servers with less than 8 people in them. It will reduce your chances of thunderdome or server nuking because these are done on high pop servers, but godmode, ESP, teleporting, invisibility etc are all frequent on low pop servers as well. Hackers used to mostly only play on High pop servers but now they are frequent on really low pop servers. -
The kind of hackers I love are the banned ones.

Broken legs mechanism is... broken
sostronk replied to Thadeum's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Lol dude I carry to Morphine at all times. Its on my first priority list ever since the first time I broke my leg. Since then Ive never had problems. Always carry 2 morphine, don't crawl through doorways and don't rush going up ladders and stairs and you will never have a problem. -
I have a PC that overheats. For some reason having browsers open (IE, Firefox, Chrome etc) make it a guarnteed overheat. I don't find that happens with other games. Just a thought, if your one of the people who play with the map open.

Will I get banned if I use Skins?
sostronk replied to Mankind's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Use a Zombie skin. See if you can blend in. -
This is NOT a zombie game...
sostronk replied to Gareth_Sims (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
"Infected" is just a word that found its way into existence in fiction when "Zombies" became less hip. They are the same concept. Infected evolved from Zombies. Saying that "they are not Zombies they are Infected" is just wrong because Infected are Zombies. -
Don't prone against Zombies, if you do your doing it wrong and wasting alot of time.

Make the AS50 the new starter gun + remove other sniper rifles
sostronk replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I love the OP. Hes so right. AS50 should be the starter weapon. Although I think it should be the only weapon in the game. Oh damn,
