I can't play because I'm afraid of the dark and I don't know how to work out the timezones of servers. I just don't want to risk entering a server in the dark.

The dayz map database is accurate. It was probably left there intentionally/unintentionally.

Vehicles aren't rare at all. I like the idea of making fuel stations being "campable" though, might take some emphasis off Cherno/Elektro so snipers can take some pot shots at organized player instead of hatchet wielding new players.

You can use your inventory. Its the easiest way to do it.

This happened to me yesterday. I was playing with friends. Out of interest, did you keep going into shock before the hack? Me and my friends kept randomly going into shock for no reason and then the hack came.

err no. You don't need a tent or a vehicle to dupe.

You used to dupe. I currently dupe. But I don't dupe high end weapons. I don't need to. If you run with a clan high end weapons are reasonably easy to come by.

Stay out of Cherno.

Why do you feel the need to instantly kill everyone on the map. I can understand you using various hacks to make your game easy because your bad. But I don't understand why you want to download a script that instantly kills everyone on the map.

OP has my beans, thats for sure.

RHINO CRUNCH and Sacriel are the two youtubers Ive most enjoyed watching.

The black one is. It is not legitimitely in the game.

As you come to play this game for longer, you will realise there are just some places you don't go. I haven't died for over a week now with the exception of a hacker who instakilled the server. I believe I can survive for months in this game just by being evasive. Players and specific areas are the major risk. If you run with an organized group you won't have a problem.

Its not a big deal for me. I am organizing a pickup from my clan tonight. Already got more than enough to rekit the whole clan. I can just dupe everything and Ive lost nothing. I feel sorry for lone survivors though. I just don't know why they do it. Anyone can download CE and inject a script. But there is no point behind doing this. If they were cheating than fair enough. But instakilling everyone is not really cheating. There is no end result behind it is what Im trying to say.

Last night I was playing with some friends. But I was losing ground on them the whole night. It seems like my sprint wasn't really sprinting that much. I was losing about 10metres ever 100metres. Is there something like inventory size that makes you move a bti slower?

Sounds like you just want this game to be fast paced with really short lifespans, shorter than the 49 minute average that is at present.

7 days for helis. I heard there was something that could shorten it with server restarts though.

Dont go near downed choppers. It is one of the biggest sniper camping points in the map. Alot of Zombies spawn there making it hard to get in unless your packing and have teammates. Also he might have had a silenced weapon.

The scripting won't stop. The duping might stop.

I know alot of people seem to dupe. But for those people playing legit, what are your thoughts on the loot balance? - I think there is a stage where it gets really hard to find food, a little too hard. If you get to this stage without hatchet/matches/hunting knife you are pretty much dead... and it can come down a little bit too much to luck as to whether you have all 3 for hunting. - Water is fine as long as you get a water bottle and plan ahead so you refill when needed. Soda cans are fairly abundant to fill in the gaps. - Ammunition seems too easy to pick up/find. I feel good about the other loots. Some could probably do with tweaking, but food and ammo seem to be the two most out of whack.

Id say there are 4 major reasons for the decline: 1. Hacking 2. Once you get so far there are no new challenges in the game, experienced players leaving. 3. Graphical bug 4. More hacking.

Whether you lose gear or not is dependent on server settings. Because you didn't lose gear doesn't mean everyone who goes there on this server won't.

Had my first full night time game last night. 3 of us getting around on 4 wheelers. Vehicles can be heaps of fun.

1/2. Do not trust anyone in this game. Ive learnt the way to enjoy this game the most is by finding some friends who are organized. You need to find this over time. Try to get involved with people in voice chat (teamspeak,Ventrillo, Mumble). People won't trust you initially. They need to come to trust you to make sure your not a douche who is going to ruin it for them. 3. You need to learn to hunt. Each cooked meat gives you back 800 blood, canned meat give 200. Blood packs will pretty much recover your full health. I almost never go in Cherno. If I do, Im packing, going in at night with NVGs, vehicles and a team. If I spawn in Cherno or Electro I will hit the place quickly and then leave. They are killing zones and you don't want to waste your time so you can hand your loot over to other players. 4. You gotta learn not to aggro zombies. They are easily avoidable. 5. Study this map: http://dayzdb.com/map If there is something specific you are after, hit the buildings that spawn them. You should have a hatchet almost straight away. Hunting knife and matches can take a while but you will get them eventually, you just have to survive on soda/waterbottles/canned food until you do. Morphine will prevent you from a really annoying death, but its not essential early in a life. Painkillers are meh. You gotta learn to head North. Don't hang around killing zones. Scout a town, loot it, then get out. Once you have some friends with tents and vehicles youll get on your feet. Its alot harder to survive on your own in this game.

You need OA and either the Free arma or payed for. I went for the $30 for both arma and OA because I didn't want to run into any problems with the free arma.
