  1. Alot of people seem to die to Zombies. I really don't know how you could. Does thunderdome and server nuking count as murders?
  2. I don't use much duping but there is still duping methods that work. EDIT: I won't list them as I don't want to promote use of them.
  3. And what events effect it? I know that killing survivors is likely to lower your humanity, thats about it. But what are the ways that I can increase or decrease my humanity?

    My Location on the Map

    As said, its server side. On servers without it you kinda need a GPS and it makes navigating alot easier.
  5. Whats an alpha tester?

    Anybody want to give me a bike?

    Sorry, couldn't help it.

    How is humanity calculated?

    Nothing atm. I presume there is some intent to use it as a balance component for PvP/PvE in the future.

    No more Perma Death....

    For the love of god, do not use six launcher. Download Commander launcher and you will be happy. It has clear updates for ARMA beta, dayz beta etc. It is so much better: http://www.dayzcommander.com/

    AS50 TWS?

    Military Zombies do drop NVGs.

    Tent question--

    Save multiple times. Thats all Ive got for you.

    AS50 TWS?

    Dont know about that. I can pick up NVGS pretty quick, there are so many places to get them. I just logged out from a game from hitting a deer stand and knocked back yet another set. If you go into a chopper crash site or a deer stand or anywhere where military zombies spawn and you need them then kill the zeds because they often have NVGs on them. Ghillies seem a bit harder to get, but I still regularly get them. It takes a bit of luck. Ive not had any for ages and the next thing I know Im knocking back ghillies as well. Deer stands are safer as you only have 3 zeds to kill. EDIT: And Im not uber pro...

    No more Perma Death....

    My humanity was at 2650 this morning. Killed about 80 zeds today. Haven't touched anyone else. Humanity hasn't changed.

    So I got a Ghilie and Sniper.

    Once you get a sniper the best thing to do is head to the coast and kill freshly spawn survivors with no gear and dont loot there body. Dont worry, rookie mistake.
  15. haha. Reminds me of when I went to loot a downed helicopter. Im kneeling to see whats there and in the inventory scrolling through loot. Suddenly I see a barrell in front of me, oh a sniper rifle! Get up to move closer to it, look up and there is a ghillie suit on the end of that barrell, start to run, the guy starts shooting, I turn with my shot gun and sprayed in panic. I died :P Im not sure if the guy wanted to kill me or not. He could have done it from long range, it was an AS50. He probably did, but I always wonder if he panicked when he seen me get up to run.
  16. I know alot of people might not like it. It seems like Battle Eye is starting to do its job. There was a server I used to join that was full of hackers and I stopped joining the servers. But it is constantly listing players joining and stating that they are globally banned for having hacks. And now that the ammo glitch is fixed (refill mags on relog) and it appears that duping is fixed, I think a wipe would do very well to give those of us who are actually interested in testing this Alpha a chance to give input on loot drops. The problem is with all the tents with hacked in weapons/ammo the loot inflation may impede getting an actual guage on the current loot tables. I think now would be a good time to wipe. Ill lose alot from it, I have an AS50 TWS (I stole of a hacker) with 8 mags and an M4A1CCO SD with 16 mags. But I still think it would be better for actual testers.

    M4A1, M16A2 M203 or AKS-74?

    Are we only talking the standard ones or variations (IE M4A1 CCO SD) ? If we are only talking the standards, Id opt for the M16A2. Same specs as the M4A1 but with longer range. Best assualt rifle overall is the M16A2 Acog. Accurate up to 800m, acog makes aiming easy, takes stanag rounds which are quite common and i believe it has a 3 round burst mode which seems to work really well.

    uhhhh... dogs? srsly? u trollin?

    Forget about the bugs/glitches. Add new features first. If they are constantly fixing the bugs/glitches first then they may become bugs/glitches again when new features are added.

    So I was sniping

    My understand was that rolling would make no noise on certain terrains. Others would make some noise. Spawning there is an possibility. Teleporting to you is the most likely way he got there.
  20. This game/mod/whatever does not have nearly enough content. People will get bored of it as they already are. If they don't add a shit tonne of new content, might as well call this Cherno DM. No point fixing the bugs atm, add more content and fix the bugs later. If they fix bugs, future updates may cause problems again. Im really quite concerned about content right now, really worried.

    DayZ PvP only

    I play with some people. Some nights we all startup I head North. We all on a fresh respawn. The never fcking leave Cherno the whole night. COD scrubs.
  22. I have complete faith in the development team to introduce previously broken mechanics back into the game that are still completely broken.

    comparing real life to dayz

    I already shoot people in the face for a flashlight when Ive already got one. Nothing would change for me during a Zombie apocalypse.
  24. So ive had some pretty wierd experiences with it. Tonight I had a MG and literally stood straight on top of this guy aimed and unloaded a 200 round belt into him. When I did it I swirled it all around starting from his head and down towards his legs and back. He did not die. He was prone and didn't realise I was there, I had to reload and emptied about another 50 rounds directly at him before he realised where I was and killed me after two shots from a sniper rifle. I don't think it was a hacker because he died in a later fight. It seems like there is something seriously wrong with hit rego in this game. I never played ARMA so is there any tips experienced players can give me for aiming?
