ptk (DayZ)

in my last life, I did a electro/cherno run and hit up every good loot spot, and not one alice pack lol. I did find 19 makerovs though...

i registered in the server but is there another application process?

keep on keeping on man!

I really don't think sniper rifles will be an issue once (or if!!!) the duping and hacking issues get worked on. Also, a big part of the issue with sniper rifles can further include the notorious inventory system. Taking alot of time on the ground because you have to work a wretched systematic process for fear that your backpack will eat things will often lead to a bullet in the head, provided you're in the wrong place at an exeedingly long, wrong time hehe. Don't whine, just give it... time!

are back pack proxies difficult to do? bump for a good guy with a good cause!

Yes it's technically illegal, as in against the Geneva Convention, to use anything bigger than a 7.62 round in a human, along with land mines and chemical warefare. Not that it's truely something to worry about if the shit hits the fan, but it is generally looked down upon if it's blatantly done. .50 cal was designed and is definately for light armor. For example, on a gunnery table for M1 Abrahms, you use the main gun, a M2 .50 cal machine gun and a 240C .762 coaxle machine gun. Each weapon is designed for specific targets and the 240C is the only gun that has troop targets. The same goes for an M2A3 ODS CFV. We had to use 240C on troop targets, not our 25MM. Not sure about the cost as a bigger bullet should be an obvious indication that it's more expensive to make, although not conclusive as it's probably one of the most common made bullets across the world, along with the .762. Then there is a matter of range to consider. If a .762 round could travel as far and as accurate as a .50 cal then I think we would see a difference in weaponry but as of yet, the .50 cal round shoots the farthest. As far as gear goes, well as a scout we like to load up! To have a m82 Barrett with 2 m-4's, plus spotting equipment for a two man DM team is not unheard of. But depending on the mission, It could be 2 m14's and 2 m4's. And Never EVER be surprised at the amount of bullshit you have to carry in the US Army lol.

wait lemme get this straight... So you're a man LF other men? Put that shit in craigslist, not here....

you should have told him to go to the forums first and look at your avatar, at least that way you could have died a virgin... ;)

for the record i didnt vote. But the bug is easy to work around. when stuck at loading, alt+tab out and run another instance of the game (preferably on a server that you know will load fully). When that one loads, open task bar and end process the arma that has the lowest amount of memory usage. I'm pretty sure this can be done if you get stuck on a third or even fourth loading screen. As long as you don't log off until you are completely logged in on another instance of the game, you won't get stuck at the beach! (I personally recommend using dayz cmdr to favorite any servers that you have been successful in logging in, as it helps in the long run)

I have such bad luck at the airfield whe I solo... usually because someone spawns in a shoots me in the back...

it's like I've just been kicked in the dick, and then handed a lolipop.

fight the good fight!

sigh, people who say this are often the same people who lack the understanding and creativity to truly appreciate a "sandbox" game.

people, there has been no fix for alt+f4 yet period! the spawn on the coast bugs are related to loading into debug plains or getting stuck on the loading screen- ie both relating to the fact that if you don't fully load into the server, the hive records that and then spawns you back on the coast, sometimes with gear and sometimes without. there is a workaround for both at the moment. hammy, I feel for ya man. best to move quickly if you shoot someone, and then see a name logoff.

variety will be key. whether you want an underground shelter, an old barn or an apartment that can be fortified, or a lean-to with some equipment buried nearby with a shovel, it will be the number of choices you have that will keep you in the game. and hopefully, there will be a large number of various tools and such to both build and destroy these places.

don't think it would count time your character is alive total, but time your character is alive in game???

lol found one of these in a raid and let me tell ya, there a blast to shoot!

I love when people reference dayz to hl, tf2, and cs... it really shows how much potential dayz has atm.

I ultimately empathize with your plight, but you honestly got a server for the public, or did you get one for you and your friends to play on, with the added benefit of being open to the public? not that one is worse than the other, but if you're going to rant, honesty goes a long way towards empathy. before I'm flamed, I'm not trying judge anyone, and fellow admin for servers of other games, I respect you all for what you have to put up with as I've been there too, lol although not on this scale of riduculousness.

this +1000

yep, I logged into a server in debug plains, broken legs, one death, so I aborted, relogged and was on the coast with nothing. wish this post was up a week ago lol. if you guys are getting stuck at the loading screen, then this is a different case (although the bugs could be related). by quitting that game and relogging into a new server you will almost certainly be put on the coast. never once was I put on the coast when quickly hopping servers as long as it loaded (I hopped like a dozen within minutes the other day trying to find a daylight server). my suggestion is to get dayz cmdr so you can at least favorite servers easily. then, when you get stuck loading, alt tab out, run another game by logging on a server that you know is loadable. then when that loads, start task manager and delete the dayz that's taking up less memory. alt tab back in and play on! don't know if this will work if the second instance is stuck at loading. maybe make a third and then delete the two lowest?

glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed lol. here's to hoping this goes to at least 4 pages because that's where people really begin to rage over any random, current topic with the mod or standalone. calling you a troll-post artist might be a little hasty machine, but have my beans for making my work day more enjoyable!

I know people are tired of the glitches n bugs n shit, I know I am and it seems they've actually taken a step back in terms of tent saves, bandit skin glitches, and coast spawning. but I don't think its unrealistic to take a few minutes to add some already made content into the game while continuing to address these bugs. its already made, just needs to be added. and it would go a long way to say thanks to a community dedicated to the success of dayz.

I had gotten sick before and it went away somehow. I never had any antibiotics. maybe I went to 6k and got another blood transfusion? there was a lot happening at that moment becausea friend and I were fighting off a hoard of zombies (of course, he was using an einfield before we knew that it was the dinner bell lol) while trying to do the loot loot shuffle (picking up, dropping and organizing loot with full packs). I remember using a heatpack too but I don't think this helped. I definitely can say that it did go away without using antibiotics though. in short, keep surviving!!

wait, Dodge makes trucks for zombies?
