So i found my first helicopter crash site with 1.7.1, and it had a large number of infected around it but i was pretty well equipped, so killed them all rather easily. Then i started moving in and just as i was about 10m from the helicopter the infected started respawning all around me, right in front of my eyes and i got mobbed. Anyway i managed to get out of there and leg it, had about 7 or 8 chasing me. Then the server was restarted for battleeye or something and when i rejoined the crash site was gone. So is this a common scenario with crash sites (zombies spawning right in front of you?), or is it a 1.7.1 bug. I thought it might be like that to make clearing a crash site hard or something (either way it's fucking annoying).

any chance of seeing the rest of the mocapped animations implemented?

I was at a barn and found a lee einfield, so decided to use up all the ammo for my shotgun first by killing a few zeds. So after mopping them all up i went into the barn, picked up the lee einfield, and noticed an entirely new set of loot had spawned (another lee einfield and mags). I then checked the rest of the barn and it had more loot too, and yep, ANOTHER lee einfield and ammo. So i went outside until the infected respawned and proceeded to kill them all again, went back into the barn of course there was more loot again. This was all in the space of 5 minutes. Suggestion: Buildings only spawn items and infected once for each player. Simulates the player having cleared the building but if other players come along loot and zeds will still spawn once for them as well. If the player dc's and comes back, obviously the items and zeds can spawn again. But loot farming from server hopping isn't the topic here; you can loot farm perfectly fine on the same server which needs to be fixed and would be easy to fix.

i hear that old insurgency mission was pretty good ;) and look theres like 20 ppl still playing (type insurgency into mission filter): http://arma2.swec.se/server/list XD

if we're going to get all technical soda actually dehydrates you, so the game has it backwards

great idea! can't believe it took so long for someone to think of this.

yeah i'd suggest screw all investigation scripts and stuff like that (we are hotfixing right). Once a zed loses LOS just have him revert to random roaming again. Chances are he might even roam towards you anyway.

ROCKET URGENT BUG: [NEW] Once infected lose line-of-sight they will try investigate where you are Causes massive lag. I gradually managed to lose an army of zeds chasing me, and as i did my fps slowly decreased to <10. I figured this was something to do witht he above change so sprinted as far from the area as i could and after a couple of 100m my fps returned to normal (zeds despawning). clearly the investigate script is causing substantial lag

lol if only drugs and alcohol were ingame; everytime your character does... XD

bump. You get a reply from the devs yet?

This has given me a great idea. From now on my role in this game will be to illuminate towns by placing fireplaces everywhere and stocking them full of wood XD

Stalker was made by/for russians, DayZ is the closest game out like Stalker

people kill each other when surviving is so easy that there's nothing else to do.

i picked up a legit crowbar and the name of the weapon is hacked and it works, so you probably shouldn't have hit respawn :P. I've also seen those bugged hatchet/crowbar ones but when i tried to pick them up they just disappeared so.

also using your flashlight should increase your visibility, especially when i shine it in the zeds face!

yeah i noticed the hatchet/crowbar spawns. Happened to me when i was opening my backpack to put flashlight away, but as soon as i picked them up they disappeared. Later on i picked up a real crowbar and it worked fine but the server crashed 15mins later (was 64 players though).

22 blood. Was showing my gf DayZ and shooting bulk zombies at nw airfield (dumb idea obviously but it was a demonstration and i wasn't that invested in the character at the time). Some guy in a gillie suit opens up on me with an m4sd i get hit super bad but on reflex shoot at the muzzle flash before falling unconscious. Turns out i headshotted the guy (he complemented me in chat lol), and by the time i woke up and had bandaged i had 22 blood left. Quickly ate some steaks then took all the very nice gear the guy was carrying and said to my gf: "So yeah this is dayZ, it's alright i guess" XD.

the solution at the moment is to get enough ammo then lure zeds into a building and slaughter them all. At least one will have a can of food on the body

yeah i generally assume any groups with vehicles or powerful weapons are bandits who kill everyone on sight, so i usually snipe them with the DMR. Unfortunately not everyone in the group is always a bandit (i.e. say one hasn't had the chance to get a murder yet) so i sometimes get murders, but the majority of my kills are bandit kills. Because of this though i'm not sure if i am technically a bandit or not. But yeah the only shame about removing side chat is not being able to see the reactions of the people you just killed XD

i don't need to quote him because the tone mapping changes ARE from the beta patches. It's pretty simple. If you actually visited the link you just quoted you would realise that. But nevertheless: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13032&pid=121542&highlight=dwarden#pid121542 In case you're wondering, Dwarden is one of the guys working on the beta patch, from BI, i.e. not DayZ. I'd love some references for your statement that it's "just DayZ being set to a winter night every night"...

I would just stop posting on these forums, make the alpha private to a small group of testers and tell everyone to go fuck themselves. Seriously, stop acting like spoilt brats; rocket doesn't owe you shit. You bought Arma2 to play DayZ? Thats great, but rocket didn't get a dime of your money, BI and the retailers got it all. He doesn't work for BI, he sometimes contracts with them. They are not paying him a salary. This is a mod. rocket could shut down the project entirely, and there would be nothing anyone could do about it. NONE OF YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ANYTHING. So if you want to help the project, stop spamming the forums with your temper tantrums, and POST CONTRUCTIVELY. One patch with a few serious bugs doesn't mean the end of this game. rocket already stated there will be a hotfix within 48 hours. The fact that some of you are directly insulting rocket for one glitchy patch that he pushed out on 2 days without sleep because of everyones incessant whining makes me sick. If you can't go 2 days without your precious DayZ because it is bugged then you need to take a step back, and re-evaluate your life because i can tell you right now: YOUR LIFE IS FUCKING PATHETIC.

if it's stuff that is already part of DayZ you'll be fine. If it is stuff that isn't then the game will autoremove it, and the more times this happens the closer you get to being banned. You will only be insta banned if you were the one spawning the crate.
