Ive had this problem a few times. I just jump into an empty server and sit idle to give it time and it updates. If that doesn't work for you, you might have to manually install the update.

Rocket fails to give a fuck and do anything about it, so shall I fail to give a fuck and continue using DayZ commander.

I think there may be some serious drug use in these forums.

So I was hunting this guy down. For a while I figured I was just missing shots. Then when I got closer I see the blood coming off him when the shots were hitting him. I persisted. I hit him at least 10 times with visibly seeing the blood come off him with an AKM. I was kind of committed at this stage, with no reasonable retreat. But after taking some hits and dropping to 1.3k blood, he died. Is this godmode? Or is it some kind of hacked health system? Is godmode infinite damage or only takes so many hits? Counting the likely hits and the confirmed hits, he must have taken around 135k damage. EDIT: Its not the first time Ive had a situation like that with this player (its on a private hive with nameplates). Except in the other cases I wasn't able to confirm the hits because the range was too far. I noticed he taunts me and others for "being a bad shot". I think I might avoid trying to kill him from now on. The guy has admin rights or he is close friends with the admin. Its a bit sad because the server is pretty clean beyond this guy.

You can run your own server from your PC. It was heavily frowned upon before because Rocket wanted everyone on the hive. Correct me if Im wrong, but since hes fine with people playing on their own servers / private hives I don't see any problem with it. If your interested in doing it that way maybe google "Guru Abdul DayZ". There are a few guys who provided these methods for a long time.

Nice. Ill be aiming for the head from now on. Damn it was close. Shock, broken legs, 1.3k health and bleeding lol. I kept passing out like every 15 seconds and slowly went around trying to find animals to hunt to restore blood and I was right ouside Cherno :/ Back to full health, no broken legs and out of shock.

Not to mention the public servers are still full of hackers. Its pretty horrid. I forget how much nicer it is in private hives and accidently join a public hive server. Then abruptly go back to private hives. I imagine lifespan on a private hive would be much longer than the public hive.

I don't think Rocket actually gets how easy it is in the game to survive pretty much for eternity, PvP and hackers aside.

38kg aint much. Whilst I was in the army I regularly carried around in excess of 100kg. And this includes firefight situations where you want to move your most. No doubt a mental barrier for a civilian, but its still not alot. Id be keen for them to implement a weight system into the loot storage though. Id also be interested to see how they get around carrying stuff like an engine or main rotor assembly for a helicopter, in your pack lol.

Well for starters, loot cycling won't get you AS50's lol. For NVG's I always check any military zeds for loot. I have got alot of NVG's from military zeds (including ones at deer stands and I kill every zed I find at deerstand). Also find them at chopper crash sites, both on military zeds, on the ground, in the chopper seat and underneath the chopper. Make sure you kill every zed and check them at crash sites. Also make sure you check the whole area, just walk slowly around looking for gear symbol to pop up anywhere around it. Recently I found two pairs at one site, one in the chopper seat and one on the ground, but I already had a pair lol. Ive picked up NVGs at NWAF fairly oftenbut I find it a bit too high risk so I don't go in there alot. All of the chopper crash sites are in open fields. You can see the smoke burning from ~1km away, maybe a bit less. Also there is a bug where you can see them occasionally where I have found them by seeing them before you can actually see them. Its similar to the bug where you can see devils castle before you should be able to see it because there are trees in the way but the castle has "rendered in" but the trees haven't. Occasionally I believe I have seen one and then go in the direction I thought I saw it and often there is one there. The open fields around stary sobor regularly have chopper crash sites and Ive run into a few cases where there are 2 or 3 within a few hundred metres of each other. The run between Stary and NWAF, there are quite regularly some up there. AS50's are easier to find than the ammo. I regularly run into crash sites with 2 as50s but its hard to keep up the ammo on them. If I find them at the moment, I just take the ammo and leave the AS50 so players can't use them and dump the ammo elsewhere :P. Occasionally I pick one up and go on a quick sniper spree and then drop the rifle. Particularly if I haven't dumped the NATO rounds in my pack from a previous loot. So anyways, theres some info. Im not really interested in writing tutorials for new players. People can figure stuff out for themselves like I have.

I don't like the way tents are currently in the game. Personally Id like to see a fairly large reduction in their drop rate and for there to be some kind of extra limitation on storage as well as them to be saved to character and have them removed whilst your out of game. I don't really bother with them anymore as its a waste of my time to gather loot for other players. Even gathering loot for vehicles is a waste of time to me because the vehicle won't last long. But it doesn't mean it won't float other peoples boats.

Im not really following what your asking, although I can tell you I don't loot cycle. I don't like to waste my time doing that, its really boring.

As a lone player you can fill up a tent with all the parts you need to repair any vehicle in a couple of hours. You just gotta know where the industrial spawns are.

Do you guys play on AUS servers? Ive always avoided them because of hackers. Or is AUS46 a private hive?

Thermal is pretty good in a group. Although I was in a situation a while back in a clan fight, we had an l85 and m107. The other clan had an m107 and AS50. Pretty much shut us down because of the terrain. We went 1kill-1death but their two snipers pretty much had their location locked down and we had to back out of the fight.

Why don't you just teleport back to the coast?

AS50s, GPS' and NVGs are really easy to come by for an experienced player. Range finders, Ive honestly never got them by any other means than by killing a player and looting them. Im always told the same thing. I regularly try to snipe people with the M14aim. Ill try and have killed people well over 500m, up to 700m with the weapon. But apparently it only has an effective range up to 500m. I recently ambushed 5 players crossing from Cherno to Elektro. Side chat was enabled so I ran around cherno and set up at milk mountain. I killed 4 of them at 650m with the m14aim and the last guy got away because it was just too far. But I had so much ammo I figured Id unload a few clips to try my luck. No luck. But then he starts comming how im a terrible shot. Id like to see him try to hit someone from that range with an m14. The distance was so far and there was alot of fog and I had to predict where they would be by bring up the range finders, watching them and then firing into the fog. But yeah, im a terrible shot. Most of the Sniper rifles actually take alot of patience, skill and practice. The DMR is really hard to use. But the AS50 and the M107 are extremely easy to use and you can drop people from rediculous ranges easily. I don't like using them though because the kills are such a long range that you can't loot and bury the body, which are two things I really want to do when I get a kill.

Bisons are considered a throw away weapon by most solo players who don't have a stockpile with tents or vehicles. That is most likely why you found them at the airfield. They are good for getting in and getting another weapon. Not so good at PVP. I sometimes pick one up as a secondary if I am planning on looting and use it to clear zeds silently before throwing it away for more ammo on my main primary, other loot or a better weapon.

Playing as a lone wolf is easier for me than teaming up. Teaming up makes the game more difficult, because most people are bad at this game and make stupid mistakes that get you killed or heavily griefed in one way or another. Increase the difficulty level all you like, it won't make me want to team up at all. Not when there are so many bads in the game.

I don't think it has anything to do with "KOSers". Im a bandit and seek out and kill anyone I see. But my public hive char and most of my private hive characters are on lifes of between 30-60 days. I also like Kamenka spawns over cherno/elektro spawns. Kamenka etc takes more skill and experience but is a better spawn once you know what to do. I never suicide on spawn. Its not a case of KOS players suiciding, its a case of bad players suiciding.

I sense OP is going to go on a killing rampage in game very soon. Let it out. Kill them Cherno scrubs and show them whos baus.

The best ones for me are the ones that have a small ammo box of 3 types of 10 different ammo clips. Just hit one up before. I had an M14AIM. There was an ammo box there that had 10xM24 rounds and 10xDMR mags. I converted the M24 rounds to DMR mags and took the DMR mags so it gave me an extra 12.5 full DMR mags to go with the 8 I already have. Enough ammo to keep a bandit like me killing for a very long time.

What games do this? I don't know any games that have done this.

Most players who play this game suck at it. No doubt it would suck playing in alot of clans, because a couple of scrubs can basically ruin any effort you put into building the clan up. Im sure there must be some clans with only decent players in them though.

IP bans completely evadable. Even if you have a static IP.
