    Being killed by server hoppers ruining game

    I thought more military loot spawns would lessen the problem, but it hasn't. One private server during the MOD days would have the military bases move around periodically (hell they're TENTS right?) so you'd have to find them at different places once in a while. That seemed to lessen the farming. Crash sites were aswesome because of their transient nature. I'm beginning to think ANY military loot spawn should be dynamic. One other thing - it would be refreshing to at least get shot in the face once in a while, or SEE your attacker. every time I've died it's been BLAM BLAM BLAM Black screen. Lack of situational awareness or server hoppers? you decide. I usually don't kill anyone, but out of anger and frustration from being constantly Backshot, I myself killed the next guy i saw that way. It didn't make me feel any better. On the contrary I felt like a jerk. Meh... live and learn. I also think that the lack of trust is exacerbated by the lack of sidechat.
  2. The only way to assure that there is NO WAY to break your legs - the only SURE way... Is to HAVE broken legs. So far the "multiple fractures" feature just doesn't exist. err... yet? :(

    Need a DayZ Banner

    It's killing me that I'm at work now and don't have time, otherwise I'd definitely troll you with a "my little pony" version. Well, and then maybe a real one just to be nice. :)

    Dont remove Ghillie suits, Make them Burn! ;)

    Cooking meat has never been so dangerous....
  6. Err.... that's refreshingly honest and informative.....I think??
  7. the chronology was broke legs and were loosing blood / grey screen. As soon as you hit the ground, it said "In Combat" and showed the G17 combat icon. then you were dead. Would an AS-50 round to the legs do that? or possibly a grenade behind you - I've heard that you don't hear the grenade that kills you in DayZ. Everybody wants to yell Hackzz!! when the post-death analysis is unclear, but lets face it - rapid sequential events in Arma2 are often animated non-linearly or not necessarily chronologically, or even completely. the engine is funky. especially when someone on the other team has 200 ping.

    How much ping is too much?

    250ms is 1/4 of a second, and that's a mighty loooong time in computer gaming terms. I'd rather stay under the 50ms mark but as Hazza stated, in Arma you can get away with over 150 ping if you have to. I think it only starts kicking up around 200 - 250. I've also played on servers with 18 - 25 ping, but was laggy as hell due to other factors (Bandwidth and Desync?). I'm not familiar with those parameters.

    I only shot him 8 times

    LOL - I'm still thinking about this comment - if I ever see a character named "Undescended_Testicle" I'm shooting him on sight! P.S. ADMINS!!! - I want to be able to give Hetstaine up to 5 beans per post. this 1 beans limit is bullshit.

    I only shot him 8 times

    Now Hetstaine, I only wish Arma2 had the ability to walk up to a body and kick it in the face a few times. I'd find those flies buzzing and I'd give him a few for good luck - for you buddy.

    I met this random survivor on Namalsk

    I'm no English teacher, but I believe that title is long and complete enough to qualify as an entire paragraph. EDIT: Watched video, shame about your new friend. Usually is >you shoot zombie to protect them > they think you've turned on them > they begin shooting you > someone hears the firefight > whoever survived initially gets hunted down > you all end up dead. Or variations on that theme.

    Saving a tent after death

    Once you're dead, you can't re-pack it because it's no longer "Yours" it's that guy who died's tent (AKA you, in your past life) you can remove and add, and save items, and from what I understand, as long as it's "Saved" or has a transaction every 7 days, it will remain. The safest thing to do, is find another tent and deploy it, and move your gear into it. Yeah, I've broken my legs this way a few times. Crawling is deadly, especially crawling backwards / sideways.

    Favorite Dayz vehicle?

    Old bike hands down!! Advantages: Silent Never breaks (never stays broken?) Is intact and useable when found For all intents and purposes is silent requires no fuel +++ !!! easily steered full speed through heavy forest very easily hidden in thick pine trees (I've almost lost a couple this way - GPS FTW!) Drawbacks: No inventory slots I look stupid in a Ghillie suit, with NVG's and an AS-50, on an old bike held together with rope. :( All the stealthiness in the world fails when you accidentally ring the bell!

    Build 1.7.3 Rolling Update

    I've analyzed this from a number of angles, and it's STILL really disturbing. someone needs a cold shower.

    Build 1.7.3 Rolling Update

    The CAT-5 cable goes around your ankle twice then plugs into the computer. one quick yank and you're safe. Of course, wireless connections are a bit trickier.... ;)

    Build 1.7.3 Rolling Update

    Well, without any kind of a "user interface", you're supposed to rely on other indicators like your vision blurring / changing colors due to blood loss, throbbing noises, you know... ;)

    I Achieved my Dream Loadout!!

    My "dream" loadout requires a 48 slot backpack. :(

    I can never find a sniper rifle!

    You won't find any for months, and when you finally have one, you won't STOP finding them. And when you do, your bag will be full already. :( Check ALL military spawns. EDIT: Oh, and THIS http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/95726-how-to-force-new-items-to-respawn/

    Suggestion for a new death screen

    I like everything about it. The blood count of the killer is particularly interesting, because I'd like to know whether those last few shots I took connected, and if before my own demise I'd mortally wounded him. As one of those who survive for weeks or more at a time, I'd like to read something about my accomplishments in that life I just lost. It would give me something as a benchmark to try and surpass. I'm sure the bandit types would rather you just saw "You are dead" as it is - they probably revel in the thought of you receiving that cold impersonal message. (hmm... can bandits "revel", or can they only "engage in depraved debauchery" ?

    TRUST NO-ONE

    A true gaming friend is one where you can walk down the street and slit his tires and poison his dog if he pulls shit like that. Or vice-versa.

    DayZ Standalone Confirmed

    Harsh Russian winters are synonymous with large concentrations of Vodka in the bloodstream, so your premise fails - but I agree with the logic of it. edit: actually in Chernarus, it's Jack Daniels - I haven't found a full bottle yet.
