Because you are trying to run Operation Arrowhead's MP mate. You need to change your launch options and enable the game to launch with the patch. It's all explained here; http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/How_to_install_DayZ And if that's too difficult, well, that's why they invented the Six Launcher and DayZ Commander programs.

I've been reading the Sword Art Online novels and I have an idea regarding this server hopping issue inspired by the Seed system of transferring characters. To expand on what Psychobob said of one player per server. How about you your player profile on the Hive and you choose your game server. You spawn in said server and it becomes your "home" server and cannot join any other server. You grow tired of this server because of hackers, hoarders, whatever. You transfer your character to a new server but in fair warning will spawn on the coast as a fresh player BUT with your gear and statistics intact. Probably still intensive on the Hive but it would stop people leaving one server for another just for a tactical advantage.

Was a good setup mate!

Normal server reset the other day so I lost all my spare gear and had to start from scratch. Currently I have found and equipped; Primary: - AKS-74 Kobra Secondary: - PDW Inventory Gear: - Alice Pack - Binoculars - 5x Bandages - 3x Secondary Ammo - 3x Primary Ammo - 3x Cooked Meat - 2x Water Canteen - 2x Grenade Alice Pack Gear: - 2x Morphine - 2x Painkillers - 2x Blood Bag - 1x Epipen - 1x Tent (will set up shortly on new server to store extra gear my mate is carting) Belt Tools: - Map - Hatchet - Combat Knife - Matches - Toolkit - Watch Just need to find more AK magazines and I am pretty happy with my current gear for stuff I have just found unassisted. Will go searching NWAF for Night Vision tonight with my mate and maybe try and score a M4 of some description.

Server got hacked last night but not before I shot down some pricks in a chopper... Which then proceeded to crash land a bout thirty feet away from me! Upon respawning near the crash on the coast I see this in the distance.

Will test tomorrow night. Edited my file now but it's bedtime. lol. God damn artifacts got me killed in NWAF Southern Barracks tonight but I respawned in Elecktro and actually didn't get sniped for once. Made off with very good gear and met up with my friends again. XD

I got +200 humanity for each bandit I killed last night.

Do unto others before they do onto you. Nothing makes my heart stop more than sighting an unknown player in DayZ. No other game has created that absolute sense of dread in me. Gah, I can't get enough. XD

Had kamichoppers on my server tonight. Bunch of tools. Shot one down before they could crash into any survivors with my L85A2... HAHAHA.

Someone who knows what they are talking about. Kudos mate.

It's an ex-Soviet Bloc state, so Warsaw Pact weapons would make more sense. Jesus.

Someone hit my own camp last night - two tents with just accumulated ammunition for my Mk 48 and M4 SD. Scoundrels. In retaliation I burnt a bus, a quad and a sedan I found at a large camp NE of my own. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

Let me guess, OP, your're French? And to get technical the F1 FAMAS does not accept STANAG magazines. The G2 version is the newer, NATO Compliment model but it has not reached nation wide distribution with the majority of French Forces still utilizing the flawed F1. Overall I'd still prefer to carry a Kalashnikov... In DayZ as well as IRL apocalypse.

it'd be right next to that blood splatter that came out of your chest.

This is why you don't try to ride your quad over the dam... In the end I practiced throwing frag grenades on it... Random screenshots of grand theft Chernarus; Heh, I normally only find AKMs or ammunition. Last week I did find this but I am in love with the M4A1 SD as a town infiltrator so it stayed.

People just need to realize that nothing will deter those who just want to kill other players. Let the bandits come, they shall know fear. XD

I was thinking at least change the spawning gear so a player had an EMPTY water bottle.

Then that camp had nothing good IMO. ;)

We need less military hardware and more civillian weapons. I'm all for good weapons but in due playtime. Running five minutes to a dear stand and lucking out for a M16 or AKS-74 Kobra isn't exactly good equipment progression. I quite enjoy using the Enfield, Winchester and Double Barrel. But what destroys their usefulness and pretty much every low tier weapon is that you can find even better weapons for less effort. It's much easier to circle around a deer stand than into a barn. Bring out more hunting or surplus weapons. Like an SKS or Mosin Nagant, we're talking about a fictional ex-Soviet state here. There should be old Russian gear everywhere.

I lit up a bloke on the coast with an LMG from about a hundred and eighty metres. I waited until he stopped to check his map (1.7.2.5 first respawn like myself I gather) and I noticed he had the turban wrapped around his face. "BANDIT SCUM!" I let loose a good burst of five or six rounds and saw at least four blood splurts come from him as he fell to the ground. I fired another burst where I thought he would be laying as he hit the ground but he just vanished... SK Wakkker, you are a combat logging pussy. I hope you spawn into another server and bleed out for a noob to take your gear.

I still remember my first murder. It was a double homicide made possible with the belt fed goodness of the Mk. 48 Mod 0. I forget the first guy but sorry, James-, your mates tried to hatchet my mate so you had to go down. This calls for a RvB quote; Donut: "Yeah, stealing and killing are a huge rush. I wish I'd started at a much younger age. I've caught the fever!"

2 AS50s, a L85 AWS, ammunition for the fifties and three NVG units? I'd like to see what you call good loot!

Probably hacked in and will disappear after restart anyway. lol.

I do enjoy a good raid on my own gear as the resulting hunt is all the more sweet. Two nights ago someone stole an ATV from my camp when I was at work. When I logged in I immediately noticed it's absence and checked my nearby tents. My spare DMR and ammunition had been taken along with some medical supplies and of all things, a bear trap... I bring up my GPS as per my normal coordinate and heading check and notice something written right on me. "THANKS FOR THE ATV!" Real funny... I delete the note and wait at my camp for fifteen minutes whilst getting into contact with some mates for a search operation all the while waiting to see if someone saw the marker and was coming to investiage. I run to a secondary camp that hadn't been found and grabbed one of our other three spare ATVs (lol) and proceeded about our normal vehicle spawn checks and chasing firefights. I was randomly cruising NE of the NE Airfield (the camp was on the opposite side of the map) near the treeline and spotted something in the shrubs. I park the quad a distance away and wait a few minutes to see if there is any movement or suspicious movements. Spying my chance I sneak in and it is indeed an ATV. I jump on it to check it's status, all green and with a nearly full fuel tank. I jump off and check the gear... DMR, ammunition, morphine, blood, epi-pens and one Goddam bear trap. I mark the point and meet a mate and bring him back to ride it back to our other base. As we're leaving a leave a marker, "THANKS FOR THE ATV! PAYBACK'S A BITCH!" Since disassembled the first base and contemplating moving the second or at least establishing another to back it up.

I think he just means a user system like BF3's Battlelog. Every time you play the players you played with are linked in that battle report and easy to manage. Met someone nice but forgot their name? Check your last session for players in your server, oh hey familiar name. Add you to friends list. But that said I don't see such a system eliminating hackers. What we experience is an inherent problem with ArmA.
