They're never going to remove permadeath, leveling system is being avoided, and pretty much everything you said after that made no sense...

Uploading videos to YouTube raises ping if you do that

I have no clue what I'm talking about, but there must be something in the server file he has to enable - which should be enabled by default to allow the DLCs to be used. I have PMC and BAF and I've never had this happen to me. Are you using ArmAII Operation Arrowhead to play? If you use BAF, that might be the problem. Use the OA launcher and see what happens

Spawning with flashlights is a good idea. Since they actually turn on about 10% of the time anyway

yeah I killed a bunch of people sniping Elektrozavodsk, so I lost a ton of humanity. It was in the 30's before

Well it's obvious we can all agree here that PvP is an essential part of DayZ. Without it, we wouldn't be here talking about DayZ.

Chernarus. I feel DayZ was made to be set in a post-soviet coun- wait.. It actually WAS made to be set in a post-soviet country.

AK-74 hands down. Best weapon in the game next to the AKM

Now I'm no expert, but I know a few tricks to being the good guy. First: Sniper rifles are a no. Most combat situations you get in will be close quarters. Though its always good to have a DMR in your bag. My favourite weapon is the AK-74 and its variants. with the Reliability of a Russian weapon, and how easy it and its magazines are to find, it's the best gun in DayZ, if not ArmAII. Remember; snipers wear diapers. Second: Talk! This is the most important part of surviving a player encounter in DayZ, hero or not. Type in sidechat, speak in direct or in the servers teamspeak. This builds trust between you an the player. It's extremely rare for someone you're talking with in a 3rd party talk program to kill you. It also helps to have a cool voice, some people say I sound like an American Frankie. Kinda weird. (And I kinda think Frankie is a bit of a noob :P) Third: Be nice! The key to me being "the hero of heroes" as some people call me (Becuase apparently I inspire people to become heros...) is to be nice. Most people don't understand it, but complementing someone when they kill you instead of whining over side chat makes them think about shooting you next time. Don't complain if you died, respawn and try again. Fourth: Help Bandits. "Holy poop mullraugh! Did u just say dat?!" Yes. Heros are not bandit hunters, they help people. Chasing down bandits doesn't help other survivors. Inevitably everyone dies, so you may as well help them in the life they got instead of going wild goose chases. Remember, bandits are humans too. They are nice when you're nice to them. Fifth: Some people think Heros are wimps and 'pussies'. Don't be afraid to teach them a lesson. Many times have bandits and survivors stood in front of me and say "shoot me, you don't have the balls." Let's just say they finished the last part of the sentence on the ground dead. Having huge amounts of humanity (mine being around 18000) lets you kill without worrying about losing your badass hero skin. - DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN KILL EVERYONE. Just shoot when shot at, simple as that. Sixth: Not nessecary, but it's good to have a squad to watch your back. I'm the leader of Foxtrot Alpha 1-1, a neutral mercenary group paid by the Russian Government to fight against the Chernarussian rebels and the United States. Then the zombies came. That's just a backstory I like to play by. Anyway, having a sniper watching your back is great for intimidation and for covering fire. I say "People in Chernogorsk, identify yourselves and I won't have Ty blow your brains all over the street." The he replies (his name being Ty [Foxtrot Sniper]) "ready to fire Captain." Most people reply, others lay on the street rottiing a few minutes later. Psychological warfare at its best ;) Seventh: use proper grammar. The more mature you act, the more trust you build. Saying "okaye, were r u. I hav teh blud to giv u." Makes you sound stupid, and like a 2 year old. People tend to trust mature adults more than douchebag teens. Just saying. Note: I play on a private hive, that way the players that are there are players that are there every day. Public servers can be challenging because everyone comes an goes on those ones. Find a good private hive and get to know the players and the Admins. I've had sniper support from an admin who legitimately had his humanity at -2 million. Everyone hated him, but he was actually a really nice guy. Hope this helps. Remember, you can scare people away with an unloaded weapon.

Hi... Any specific questions?

ACRE mod.

I like everything but the weapon rarity, and the currency. Other than that they're great ideas; some mentioned before, but that just shows how great the ideas are.

That's some action movie stuff right there. That guy needed a better plan though, especially if he thought an MP5SD would kill someone in a few shots...

I've played the servers that TheZombieInfection team made before the Breaking Point mod and I have to say they were a lot better and had a better community. I even created a loading screen background for them a while ago which I posted in the fan art thread: LINK I really like breaking point though, other than the fact it's a KoS party, it's pretty fun if you make it past 5 minutes.

I like this idea. Then again, I'll support anything that supports less KoS and more player interaction

Try armex too. Single player, editor, map: Training grounds (or proving grounds, idk)

Well I doubt anyone here will last any more time in the Stand Alone than the mod, considering it will be equally, if not more challenging. I wouldn't be surprised if the average life expectancy dropped by a lot. So I guess you guys would probably just hop on a server, do the usual looting/killing, then die by the time you have to get off

If that's how you guys fly helicopters, I don't think I'm doing it right...

if it says "Something went wrong! Disconnect and try again" you can either wait a few minutes for it to sort itself out, or do what it tells you, disconnect and try again. What it means by disconnecting is it wants you to press Abort, then go back to the lobby and click OK again

Why is the old bandit skin returning? Now everyone will kill on sight just to get it. Fun fact: the old bandit skin is a KSK soldier from the German Military, so technically all bandits are Germans.

First, welcome to hell! Second, don't KoS, and Third -for your sound... this may be stupid, but try pressing esc, options, audio options, and turning the volume up. If that's not it, check to see if your headphones are plugged in properly. If that still doesn't help, try re-downloading ArmAII

lol put in all that work to get gear, find a car, do all the things, then some day die since it's inevitable... That's DayZ for you.

having and keeping the hero skin is really easy for me. I have 18595 humanity on a server, and everyone knows I can help them. The trick is to make friends with the bandits, and they'll help you. The only thing you have to worry about after that is zombies, the players that hate you, and new players that want to be bandits. I can literally say "I need a pickup." and a bandit clan in a Huey will pick me up within 5 minutes. However, you have to keep neutral. Some players will not like the bandits you're with, but like you. So you have to be a lone wolf and only team up with new players that don't know what to do.

it's a military simulator, it should be close to real life.

Imagine shooting someone with a flare gun loaded with a smoke. They'd run around with smoke coming out of them
