Rocket has made it clear many times that he is not interested in making DayZ 'accessible' or easier, the fact that he removed morphine, the makarov, beans etc from starting equipment makes that pretty clear.

Nice attempt at creating a straw man argument there friend. I always play legit, I have never, in all my time playing DayZ logged out during a firefight or due to imminent death. There is no non PVP aspect of DayZ because the game itself includes PVP encounters - in fact these are what add the most tension and paranoi to the game experience. I don't think you understand what DayZ actually is. DayZ explicitly and by definition involves PVP as well as PVZ. Creating Non PVP servers is directly against Rocket's intent for the game how the game was designed. If I should go and play WOW (which I have never played in my life) then perhaps you should toddle off with your non PVP mates and play minecraft in creative mode so that you never have to get out of your comfort zone.

There is absolutely no question that you CAN make whatever rules you like on a private server (and I can see you are a server Hoster yourself so I understand you feeling entitled to do so) however what I am saying is that it is super lame to do so...thats called an opinion, now if I say I like bubble gum flavoured icecream I am sure you can say that vanilla is better but neither of us could ever prove the other wrong or right. Tell me this, though, as you host DayZ server's yourself, would you ever impose a no-PVP rule on your own server?

Not really a problem, just saying it's lame. However, since you asked its worth making the point that if you make your server public it should at least adhere to the basic gameplay of the mod it is hosting eg DayZ which expressly includes PVP. Additionally, if you do not put this fairly important rule in the description of your server name you waste everyones time when they spend the usual 5 mins getting past 'loading' and 'player creation' screens and finally log in only to see a message pop up that PVP will get you insta banned.

Check the updates page in DayZ Commander. Refresh the page. Does it show Takistan in the list of installed mods? Does it show as current? If so you should be able to connect to Takistan servers. If that doesn't help uninstall and reinstall takistan via the update page on DayZ Commander.

It is relevant to quote Reddit rules here "When a hacker employs their less than savory methods, they are usually doing so for a few main reasons: They have fun doing so They want to see if they can pull it off They want attention Option three is why we have our rule about no hacking related content" The OP obviously falls under option 3, poor thing is probably ignored IRL. As with trolls feeding hackers attention only encourages them, moderators should close this thread.

Are you joking? The countless video evidence on YouTube would say otherwise, even Rocket has been hacked live during interviews, your 'testing' is as a total waste of time, of zero benefit and no excuse for hacking yourself.

RTFM dude

Its worth mentioning that Takistan is especially glitchy (even for DayZ)

Hi Guys Come join me in my live stream of the new map Takistan! http://www.youtube.com/user/S1ipperyJim

Thanks for checking it out, I will be streaming weekly :)

Wow clap clap you tested and proved a fact that all of us have know for a long time and is in fact obvious. Then you go on to pontificate about how hacking should be eradicated, although you are yourself a hacker. Dear God, there is so much wrong with this thread... Mods need to remove these 'confessions of a hacker' threads as they only encourage other hackers.

The first video in a new series in which I blow things up in DayZ. Satchel charges are super rare normally but I was lucky enough to find a bunch of them in a camp, this series is all about blowing things up with them...

Thanks mate! The best is yet to come

Hi Guys You may have seen some of my video series on DayZ here on the forums, today I am live streaming for the first time, come watch me fail here: http://www.own3d.tv/S1ipperyJim Goes live in 10 mins from the time of this post, I will stream for probably 2 hrs and if it goes well I may switch to Lingor or visa versa Hope to see you there SJ

Live stream is over guys you can click on the link above to view the video, we played Lingor and Chernarus, thanks to all who dropped in!

My top 5 guns 1. Mk 48 Mod 0 2. AS50 (w/NATO rnds) 3. L85A2 AWS 4. M4A1 CCO SD 5. MP5SD6 Mk 48 Mod 0: Most powerful LMG (along with the M240). Accurate and has red dot sight. Ammo mags are large capacity and relatively easy to find if you ever run out. AS50: Everyone knows why - used with NATO rounds this is the most powerful gun in the game and essential for taking down helis or vehicles, never mind one shotting from >1 km away. L85A2 AWS: Even if you never shoot this gun it is worth carrying around for the thermal scope alone. M4A1 CCO SD: Probably the most effective of the silenced weapons MP5SD6: The quietest gun in the game, brilliant for sneaking in and out of areas and popping zombies in your path without making your presence known

yes

Blow things and people up with satchel charges set bear traps in random places and snipe, try to think of things to do with vehicles like do epic jumps off the docks into the sea in my ATV or parachute jump from my heli while flying solo and parachute land on the roof of the international hotel, try to set a target for zombiekills in one session eg 1000 kills etc etc. I will be very glad when the standalone comes out and we can build underground bases and what not

I have a few boxes let me know if you still need them I will be online in 7 hrs or so

Some vehicles save, others don't. I can't get the V3S to save, but ATVs and UAZ saves (although gear in UAZ gets reset)

Here I show you the easiest way to get almost any kind of gear you want, NVG's Ghillie's, AS50s, etc etc very easily, provided you don't mind travelling long distances!

I have a bus, an ATV and a UAZ. The issue at the moment in 1.7.2.5 is that many vehicles do not save properly and can actuall dissapear into thin air for no apparent reason, even if the server does not restart. I have had this happen with the V3S recently, sometimes vehicles can despawn from their spawn location only a few minutes after partially repairing them. This is, of course, incredibly frustrating. It seems that some vehicles are more prone to vanishing or not saving after log out and server restart than others. The ATV will usually reliably save, I have so far found the UAZ saves for me as well, the helicopter and V3S will nearly always disappear and not save location. My suggestion is, find an ATV (one spawns next to a rock at black lake), these only require a fuel tank, engine and two wheels to full repair, you will also need at least one jerry can. That will take up 27 slots, if you have an Alice pack or Coyote Backpack you can carry all of this at once without making any trips back and forth. Once you find it though, be very careful not to flip it (I have a guide on my YT channel linked below on how to unflip these if you don't know how). The ATV is also very easy to hide because of its colour and size, and goes pretty fast off road and on. Hopefully the next update will fix the issue with vehicles (and tents) not saving properly.

I just love sarcastic trolls who have absolutely nothing of value to say. To an experienced DayZ player (especially a scavenger trader like yourself) the idea in this video may be well known, but trust me a lot of people on these forums are constantly trying to acquire this kind of gear and don't know how to do it. But FFS its not like I'm one of these dudes posting videos on how to set a tent or cook a steak... Another reason I created this video is because I will be using this equipment in upcoming videos and didn't want to have to explain how I acquired the rarer items like satchel charges legitimately.
