This reminds me of when my group was once looting Stary Sobor. We had the town on lockdown, so we had everything covered. We saw a survivor crawling around. He kept popping up and disappearing behind buildings. And so we patiently waited for him to expose himself. We waited and waited... and then we realized it took so long because the guy was CRAWLING everywhere! We then spotted him heading towards the tents, so we all went on hold, including two of our guys in the tents. It took the survivor forever, we must've waited for another 5 minutes, but finally the survivor crawled in front of one of the tents that was occupied by one of our guys. The survivor got taken care of, he never had a chance. I remember feeling bad for the guy, he crawled for ages and all for nothing.

It's a little bit buggy. When inside a small patch of trees, it often doesn't recognize you are near a tree. Try a proper forest. Run inside to the middle of the forest (or patch of trees), stop right next to a tree, press G to open the inventory, right click on the hatchet and choose the option to chop wood. Make sure you have two empty spots available in your main inventory for the wood.

Sometimes you cannot join a server because it is bugged and needs a restart. So make sure you join a highly populated server. Then you will know for sure the server is not bugged. Try multiple highly populated servers and be patient, wait at least 15 minutes at the loading screen. Also, make sure you join a server that runs the correct version (the same one you are using). See the server name for the version it is running.

Like others have said, you can see a blurry figure at the stairs. Pause at the right moment and you can see a brown figure standing in front of the wall at the staircase. You can see smoke appearing and moving at that same location. It looks like white stuff that is moving in front of the brown figure. You can hear a silenced weapon being fired very close by. Simply listen for the usual hollywood laser sound. Conclusion - the guy looked away and exactly at that moment, somebody came up the stairs with a silenced weapon and shot the guy.

It probably started off with 100.0, with many zeroes behind the period as the player is losing blood. So Rocket bumped it up to 10000 so that it's an easier to read number, without using a period. Then he decided the player loses blood too quickly, but instead of changing all the blood loss mechanics, he bumped up the player's max blood to 12000. Then he decided the balancing was good enough, so he kept it that way. So why 12000? Because it's a number that works. Note that the above is 100% speculation.

Press forward. But it won't work if the vehicle is broken and needs repairs.

I looked through the code. The soldier skin is in there but it doesn't spawn. I guess you cannot access it through normal means... Plus, that barricade looks extremely suspicious. Parts of that barricade cannot be spawn by normal players.

Well, we are not developers for this mod, but that doesn't mean we are necessarily completely clueless about the development of this mod. Some of us know how game development works, having it done ourselves. So some of us can have a rough idea of what it's going to take to get this option implemented. Now it basically boils down to opinion. I'd prefer to see Rocket focus on different areas and use his time to develop those further, rather than invest time into non-PvP servers. I just don't think non-PvP servers will add much. I think they will only take away from the PvP experience, because the time Rocket spends on non-PvP servers is time he could have used to work on something else, something that contributes to the overal experience, to everyone (not just to non-PvP players).

Sure, if we leave out all the problems that come with it, then I'd say go ahead and get your non-PvP server. But I doubt it will happen anytime soon because Rocket would need to find a way to seperate PvP and non-PvP characters due to balancing reasons. Then there's a bunch of other problems. Nothing wrong with me. You said I must. I told you I don't have to, nor do I think it's a good idea. :) EDIT: Fixed quote.

At some point, yes, it comes down to that, because you run out of things to do. Once you are past the survival phase, when you've figured out how to survive, then you move on to the next thing you can do. Right now, it's either shoot zombies or kill players. It's my opinion, but I feel many people share it. Zombies respawn so quick, often they keep spawning around you as you are shooting them, that it becomes meaningless to shoot them. On top of that, the whole zombie experience is very bland/buggy compared to other zombie games. Hence, it's not much fun shooting zombies. No, I must not. I simply play the game and abide by the rules that are presented to me. Right now the rules are PvP, so I play PvP. In the state the mod is in now, I do not care about PvE only gameplay, because like I said before, PvE is very bland and boring right now. I think that implementing PvE only servers will only result in a lot of complications without making the game better in a significant/meaningful way. I feel your "right" for freedom is being outweighted by the negative consequences. So not only must I not grant others to play in this way (because it's not up to me), neither can I advice it or suggest it as a good idea. ;)

Military buildings, crashed choppers, deerstands, hospitals, players.

Well, I can tell you why my group has a shoot on sight policy, and I know for a fact some other groups share this opinion. First of all, there's nothing else to do in this mod than to kill other people. This mod is all about PvP. If there would be no PvP it would be a very boring mod because the PvE part (the zombie part) is no fun at the moment (it's literally pointless to shoot zombies, other than to defend yourself when you get detected). Second, PvP in this mod can be pretty exciting due to it being high-risk high-reward. You get killed and you have to spend a while getting your gear back. You kill someone and you get NVGs, MP5SD, SAW, etc. Also, there's nothing like sneaking up or defending against human players. PvP adds a challange that Coop cannot provide. It really tests your tactics and teamwork. Third, other people will shoot on sight, so you shoot before they do. This happens very often now that the bandit skin is gone because no one trusts anybody else. When the bandit skin was still in, we could sometimes trust strangers who didn't wear a bandit skin, if we had superior manpower and could lock down the entire area. But these days if you don't want to get shot, you have to shoot first when strangers come close. Also, I want to point out something that some of you don't seem to realize. There's two parts to this mod: 1. The part where the "loners" run around and get shot at by everyone. 2. The part where people team up in groups and shoot at everybody who isn't in their group. So keep that in mind when you say there's no teamwork, no coop, etc. Because that's simply not the entire truth. The second part of the mod has a lot of teamwork, coop, and whatnot. It's the first part that is severely lacking any of thereof.

You clearly failed at game design 101. Horrible suggestions. Well, zombies do need to be able to attack while running. Then the zombies can be slowed down and we don't have to deal with warping zombies anymore.

http://www.dayzmod.com/ Alive Characters: 264' date='595 Bandits Alive: 48,532 Maybe you need to go back to math class. [/quote'] The thing is that we don't know how many of those characters are active. For all we know, there could be 50,000 active alive characters and 48,000 active bandits. We do have the figure "91,721 players in the last 24 hours". Combining that with the 48,532 alive bandits, does that mean half of the players are bandits?

For the people who are still getting this problem. Make sure you do not click on an advertisement or you will download something completely different! You must click on an actual download link.

The problem here is that some users do not seem to be familiar with internet advertisements. So you people, you have to keep in mind that advertisements often try to trick you into clicking on them. Another thing, when you download a file, check what the file is called. If you download a file from those advertisements, then the file you download will NOT be called Six Updater but something completely different, so that should be a wake up call telling you that something is not right. I've forwarded this to Sickboy, the guy who made Six Updater. But to be honest, I can't blame him if he decides not to do anything about it.

Could you post the steps on how to get to the 7zip installer? I don't think Sickboy intended for some website to repack his installer and add a bunch of spyware to it. I'm guessing he doesn't know about this.

So you clicked on an advertisement... Better change your first post and/or topic title.

No it doesn't - stop blaiming others for your obvious and clear disregard of basic common sense and computer security. no actually it does.. follow the link from the download page and test it out yourself lol.. call me a liar after you test it.. as in right now.. not some shit you installed a week ago.. cause this just happened. Where did you download SixUpdater from? Could you give us a link? Because other people cannot reproduce the problem you are having. Right now it looks like your PC might be infected by a virus.
