Depends. Some buildings have a loot chance from what I understand. If you login near/in a building it doesn't always spawn. If you enter a town via a vehicle it doesn't always spawn. Not always though, Ive found I can drive into a town sometimes and loot is there, other times it isn't. If you hit a town just practice loot paths. You will work out the loot locations and then revisit some areas and it will be there the second time through. Other times though its because a player has literally just gone through before you and cleared the loot piles.

Admins have a substantial amount of power. If someone is cheating they can ban them from the server. They can also access a players logs and send them to Battle Eye and get the player globally banned. The fact is, most server owners aren't doing what is their responsibility and allowing hackers to do these things.

M9SD. Since pistols are bad at dealing with players and only good for dealing with Zombies. I think its the best choice for alot of players who loot towns and for PvPers who camp. M9SD allows you to loot alot quicker by just picking off those Zombies that are in the way.

Ive tested this a bit with a player I was playing with. Turns out that I sometimes get kicked from a server and stay on the loading screen indefinitely. I usually wait 1-3 minutes for full load, if it takes longer then I will leave.

Is this supposed to be a joke thread? 13 year old claims to be friendly to 3 guys, claims hes not a douchebag, then kills all 3 of them whilst being friendly.

Im not seeing anything new here. All this was blantantly obvious to me.

Yeah I read them a few times to make everything clear in my mind. Not what I would call "tonnes of features" and not even enough to stop the game from being Cherno Deathmatch 2012.

DayZ commander is so much better than six launcher. Ive no idea why people would use Six Launcher.

Mostly from comments made by Rocket from various interviews (like reedit) and what profit model for this game will be.

Im pretty sure Rocket said the standalone wasn't going to be on Cherno. I hope it isn't.

Wait what, are they giving out hand towels now? In all seriousness, this is an Alpha. I personally think testing in this phase should be limited to a select group of people until the game is remotely playable without being so frustrating at times. I know it started as a Mod. Doesn't mean Rocket couldn't say thats it this is now a closed Alpha, see you again for standalone. People could still play the un-updated mod and they wouldn't be expected fixes etc.

I really don't think they are breaking any rules. BattleEye wouldn't ban them for this.

The standalone is barely going to leave Alpha. It won't receive alot of attention. Its just being done to make some money out of the game. I could be wrong, but that's the impression Im getting. Rocket really doesn't seem to be very ambitious about adding alot of content and features to the game in the future.

Only thing I know that does this is hackers, who can disable your abort key. This is usually right before they teleport to you, take two clips from you in the face and then kill you at point blank range.

He can ALt+F4 and spawn on the coast ^^

Whilst I agree with you that its brutally clear that a large portion of the DayZ community has a big chip on its shoulder and needs to constantly talk up how good they are, I don't agree with the OP. The game is meant to be a realistic experience, EVERY LIFE. People shouldn't get attached to gear if thats the case. Lives are meant to end eventually and everything that goes with it. The game is rubbish right now, not because of the bugs, but because of the hackers.

Hahaha. Nice graph. +1

Players aren't a threat in this game, the hackers are.

Sounds like yall want easy mode Cherno deathmatch.

Anyone got any? :P Want to try my hand at it after next time I die. I want to get my humanity up and help other players. I mostly play solo. Im not really sure how to start, thinking head to cherno, get food, water and medical supplies and then start getting close enough to players to offer my assistance. From my experience with the game thus far, all I can see ever happening is getting killed.

Games being released as an ALpha. Its still feeding off its early popularity. Give it time the hackers will chase people away in droves, alot of people are already leaving. The game won't have enough content to launch as a legit standalone anytime soon. Rocket can either release it and let people get bored of the game quickly due to lack of content or he can take his time working on it and watch a low pop of players come across to it. I feel pretty bad for ROcket tbh. Way too many douchebag hackers in this community that have ruined what would have been a great groundbreaking game.

Yeah don't matter now, Ive quit the game. Too many douchebag hackers. Ill go play WarZ. RIP.

Bull. I was transformed into a chicken last night by a hacker last night. He did it right in my face after teleporting to me with godmode on.

After watching a player teleport to me and all around me from out of nowhere I proceed to unload a clip into him. Just like every other time I get into a fight they have godmode. I go for the abort key, turns out its disabled. He walks up to me at point blank range and shoots around me but doesn't shoot me, then tells me hes friendly. Ok lol friendly. I start to walk away thinking about how im supposed to get out of the game and he kills me :P Anyways, I think thats it for me, Ill keep up with the games progress and these forums and to see if the hacking ever gets adequately dealt with (which I doubt, not even in standalone). Either way theres no point to playing this right now, its alpha, lacking content and every day I encounter hackers and its just no fun when there is absolutely nothing you can do. I like skilled games and this just isn't skill. Id be fine with it if I was getting killed regularly because the game was difficult, but the fact is the game is really easy and hackers present you with impossible scenarios like this. I don't know how they could enjoy it, but I guess they do for some reason. Its a shame because this game has/had so much potential and I can see how it has received so much attention and now its really losing momentum because of the hacking that has gone on. Ill avoid the TLDR. Peace out.

Yer I got a full time job and a life, don't have the time for reporting :P Seriously I play a couple of hours every night, every night Im forced to Alt F4 to avoid a hacker. I can tell they are coming because they teleport right in front of me, then behind me, then run straight at me. I unload clips and nothing happens. Last night I was morphed into a chicken and had to suicide to zombies because I would have had to ALT+F4 (which I wouldn't do if it was a legit player). Disabling this was the last straw for me. Oh and it was night time with first person only and only 8 people on the server. I should have noticed the high death rate for a low pop server but figured it was just Cherno deathmatch session going on.
