90% of the servers I play on, which are all veteran, have it enabled. I do not play on servers with nametags, map markers (shows your location and other players on map), or crosshairs. All of these setting are controlled by the server admins. Also the ingame map is great for landmarks and elevation/contour lines to navigate with, if the feature is not working. Other than that, about 1-2 days of gameplay you pretty much know where you are without any map.

Have you tried these...although you have a very good set up, I honestly do not see what the problem is... http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1355 I have an AMD 6 core (2.5 ghz) , 8 G of ram, and Radeon HD (on board) graphics...and run this game smoothly on High. I really do not see why you would have any FPS issues other than maybe the servers you play on.

ROFL server hopping is not an exploit (though I do not condone it). But if (as player stated above) an asswipe dupes/loots an assload of traps/wire and blocks off a whole town, what is your solution? It is not like traps/wire is rare, its as common as tin cans. If I have the tools, sure I take it down. 90% of the time no one has the tools. So all you get is "Haha I just blocked off the whole town on this server" Infact I can guarantee if you go into a big city (of your choice) one of the major loot sources is blocked off. Its beyond ridiculous now. You do what you have to do to get in, you risk your time/life to get into town, and everything blocked off because some asshole found wire fencing before you.

Anyone know the basics/basis on how this works? Here is why I would like to know. Was playing on our server during the night time. Only 3 of us online. 41/48 zombies. 2 of us have the dinner bell (Lee) and revolvers, the other has shotgun. We draw aggro in Elecktro. Enter house. Start unloading. Me 78 zombie kills, player 2 = 56 zombie kills, player 3 = 53 zombie kills, after we run out of ammo decide to run out of the house and just simply ditch the zombies. As we run out can see busload zombies outside still. We zig, zag and ditch them. But now out of ammo and bandages. Resupplied fine but seriously? When the hell do the zombies stop spawning? Or what determines when and how many spawn?

Retarded amount of wire fencing spawns=retarded amount of players putting it up. Fastest fix to get in, log off server, go into another server, enter, then relog back on. Easily bypassed. Though most of the time the loot is not worth it, nor the risk. I like to gather wire fencing then wire fence the wire fence loot spawn and tank trap spawns I come across.

As a survivor I can honestly say I have not earned anything. I have killed other players. I have killed many zombies. I have looted the best gear. I have lost the best gear. I have owned every vehicle in game except a Heli. I did not earn them. That is to say, I did not work hard to get them. Getting kills is as easy as looting 4 tires for you car. Jump to a populated server. Out of sheer boredom I run down the shoreline with a 240 just to watch people scatter, as I know I am not in any danger. Bandit skin would be nice though as I would like to identify who to shoot next time I do that. I support your post.

I honestly think the wire is useless other than pissing players off. Zombies walk right through it. Only thing Ive seen to actually make a zombie stop are the sandbags. So barricading is only good for stopping players from entering (which it doesnt because you can server hop) If they fix it to where it stops zombies, it would probably be worth using more often.

Rofl just run to it. Log off that server. Log onto another server on the other side. Then relog back onto that one. Poof. You are on the other side.

Southwest of Novy Lug (which is South East of Gvozdno) is a house with a shack on the side. 50% of the time (so 5 out of 10) servers you will find a motorcycle in it. It is full green and ready to drive, just bring a gas can with you. Anytime I dont feel like walking anymore I just run there and server hop 1 to 2 times until I find it. Again, it is that simple. I can guarantee you will find it within a couple of tries. If you want I can post the servers I find it on here, but where is the fun in that. PS: By the time you run there, you could pretty much run to wherever you were planning on driving anyways. Also on a side note...get the cooridinates...a map..open the map...hold down shift while left clicking..this sets a way point. Close map and it will show you a way point in game with the distance. Use auto run (lol wedge something in your W key) and run straight there. Most servers have this map feature implemented, they just dont know it.

Most of the time stuff disappears when a server restarts...sometimes it can take another restart for it to come back. The rest of the time it can be chalked up to a player finding it. Best way to know is throw something down...ie barbed wire or tank trap...next to vehicle or tent. If those are gone, then it is the server restart. All you need to do is wait for it to restart again.

It is very simple to find a vehicle. Run to where a vehicle spawns. If it is not there, just server hop until you find it there. Do the same for weapons and gear. It is just that simple. This is why they need to fix the server hopping...it is dumbing down the game.

Um yeah, So my friend is looting Stary, zombie breaks his leg. I ride my motorcyle there with morphine. My friend has to go to work and logs off. I decide, I am there lets see whats in the tents. 5 minutes later, server hopper comes in, takes a pot shot at me, I fire back. He disconnects. I bandage. Continue looting. About 2 more minutes pass, 2 more server hoppers appear. I kill one, the other kills me. Moral of the story. Stary blows, it is a mecca of for server hoppers and I should have known better. Next time I will let my friend crawl his broken leg ass to me. Then put a bullet in him.

Dont need to read the previous posts. All I need to read is the original post. The title of it says it all. "This is the best PvP game ever created." Again, teamwork to kill bandits/survivors is fine and actually fun, but if this game was meant for straight PvP then there would be no zombies or need to scavenge, anything.

Server hopping. Looting/Farming Bypassing barricades Logging off to get better position to kill another player who has the jump on you. Disconnecting to avoid player/zombie kills. Nothing need to be said here. Vehicle Hoarding. (Goes with hopping) Groups/Players/Clans jumping from server to server to gather vehicle parts and hoarding all the vehicles on one single server. There needs to be some kind of control when one can just simply leave the dangerous environment and log onto another server where it is safe. Hopping servers to "gather" shit to bring to your own server, or simply to "farm" up gear. If there isn't a tire in the warehouse you are on, can go server to server to find one. Too simple. Dumbed down. In my opinion your character data should be stored on the server you play on. If you leave it for another, then you are on another completely different toon which is not associated in anyway with any other toon you have elsewhere. A simple solution to a major problem.

Bohemia Interactive Dedicated Servers...is what I was talking about. Not private servers. Right now in its state, if it (whatever you are looking for parts,gear, or player) is not on the server you are on, you can simply hop until you find it. Death is 100% completely avoidable. No risk, but great rewards. Once you learn the system, you can gather weapons, vehicles, and gear within 1-2 hours.

How about you immerse yourself in Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead? Different story when there are no zombies in the mix and neccessity to, I dont know, eat and drink. If you are playing this game because you think it was made to PvP then you are a true idiot. This is the "anti" game. The PvP is an element of the game, not the purpose. Takes absolutely zero skill to kill a player with no weapon, and if you need a team to do that, you sir ride a special short yellow bus.

The problem is, anyone can go anywhere at anytime. That is, I could kill 10 people from a crane in Elecktro until someone finds me. Then I simply log off and move to another server. Rinse repeat. No consequences, no danger for me. So that being said, those players (the majority) who do that will get your server rating low.

So my friend comes over and uses my computer. He has his own steam account with and Arma Combined Operations CD Key He logs onto my cpu with his steam account to play some Dayz. When he logs on he is playing my character with his name. The question: How does he access his own account and character on another computer? The dilemma: I want to sell my computer to him, but I do not want him accessing my character on Dayz with his steam account (neither does he). I wanted to see if it was an isolated incident so I logged on my steam account on my son's computer and I was playing his character, but with my name. So what is the deal?

So setting up barbed wire is only good for deterring players or just plain to piss them off by putting in doorways. Does nothing against zombies as they just walk through it... Maybe a hotfix soon? Otherwise I see no point in having it.

Yeah its very frustrating, Id rather it deter zombies than players, I got plenty of ammo to deter players.

There is no punishment for server hopping. This KO system is supposed to stop you from logging during PvP. It does not work and is completely random. Be happy you werent unconscious standing up, because when you regain you fall to ground and can't move. Then you have to relog and come back unconscious again, but can move after the penalty.

So I hit a rock with my bike, take some shock damage. Server resets. I come back and I am unconscious. 3 minute wait. I notice I am with hourglass while standing up with gun drawn. I wait. 3 minutes pass, I fall to the ground, now I cant move, at all. Just shoot. So I relog. I come back and fall to the ground, unconscious, again. Another 3 minute wait. No player damage. No Zombie damage. A bike kicked my ass.

In the rear with the gear, thats where I wanna be.

LOL the bike is fine, Im looking for some playing cards to put in the spokes!!! Or if it hurts me again, Im gonna shoot it.

Some peoples kids. I spawned in and ran around a boring landscape with no weapons. I mean comeone where are the bombs, helicopters and fucking bazookas?!?!?! I made my mother make me a fucking hotpocket while I was playing, it was cold. I didn't even get to see my stats when I died. My mom is going to be mad I blew her $30 dollars on a video game.
