i dont get it.. congratz on shopping in cherno ? :)

I really dont see the point of making QQ posts.. its not like the DayZ team can do anything about it anyways.. the problem lies with Arma 2, and BattlEye.. and ofc just ppl being morally misguided..

LOL i never expected the poll to be so balanced regarding votes. I Actually assumed it would be more like: Bandits: 98% Heroes: 1% Survivors 1% or something like that, maybe more survivors and less bandits. but around there.

Played: Operation Flashpoint ( The game BI made before Arma ) Arma 2 Battlefield: Bad Company Battlefield Bad Company 2 Battlefield 3

Depends on where i spawn. Usally i avoid the two biggest cities entirely. so if i spawn west of cherno. i run to balota to see if im lucky.. otherwise i go north. if i spawn east of Elektro i run with the coast up to Berezino and then west. however, i always scavenge the first city i find, cause maybe there is a hatchet for me :P

LOL :D sounds like an interesting event, if you find vid, please post, wanna see that :P

Have you tried reinstalling DayZ Commander ? just to try that, cause it sounds really wierd. mine is also up-to-date and with no filters on etc. i can see about 4000ish servers. could also be a problem with your router maybe.. maybe some ports are blocked.

Cant we all just be friends, hold hands and sing kumba yo my lord ? I dont see how another QQ post is gonna fix things

maybe so, but atleast i aint QQ'ing about ppl not being able to hit from 1000+ meters, and saying its impossible.. when it clearly is.. either way.. i have no problem seeing over 1000 meters in game.. if its server settings or setting in the game.. i dont really care :) maybe ppl should just get a proper pc :)

Well just hang in there, soon there will be doggies to test out :) i for one, REALLY look forward to try that out.. DOG... GET ME SOME BEANS.. NAO DAMNIT.

Yeah of course.. but its still a damn shame :), think of all the fun people could have with strangers in the game, if the majority of players didnt shoot on sight. but i will stay true, to my heart of pure gold (hehe). and not kill everyone i see, only the ones that shoot first :)

LOL, sounds wierd. have never tried something like that myself tho. But creepy. hope the future will provide more loot for you, and less wierd deaths :)

I would go look either at Balota Airport, and the 4 deer stands, just south east of it. Or else i would go too North East Airport, those 2 places is the safest place too look for military loot, and you can be lucky to find a sniper there also. if you go to North West Airport, you are most likely to die, also in Stary Sobor. In my experience, Stary Sobor and NW Airfield have a lot of bandits. So to be safe: Go to balota ( all tho alot of unarmed survivors often come there too pick up a gun before going to Cherno ) Go to NE Airfield ( its very rare i see other people up there. Weapons you will find: M4A1's AK's DMR (kind of rare) M24 (kind of rare) Shotguns M9 Supressed / Silenced ( Kind of rare ) Glock 17 If you want the normal hunting sniper riffle thingie, go look in barns at farms etc. there you will be able to find a CZ 550, all tho its also kinda rare(ish). Peace out.

Omg Snafu18 you luck s.o.a.b. :P everytime, i have tents up (that actually work in this patch), they just take all my beans and stuff, and take a dump in my tent. Wish someone would leave me some loving in me tent :D

I agree with sostronk and The2ndLink.. pretending hackers isnt there. isnt really gonna fix anything. Of course you are right that i could damage the sale of the standalone game. But sadly there isnt much we can do about it. Unfortunatly Arma 2 is made in a way it makes it very easy to hack, or inject scripts. And for the so called anticheat BattlEye, well lets just say it isnt the best anti cheat system ever developed. The only thing we can hope is that, the standalone game will use PunkBuster, wich is damn near the best anti-cheat system made imo. And that it will stop most of the hacking. Also imo. its a shame some people, that might not enjoy the game, or is pissed that someone killed their asses, have a tendency to use cheat, and make the game unplayable for the rest of us that enjoy DayZ. Personally, if i got tired of a game. or angry about getting killed all the time. i would just stop playing the game, instead of using my precious time to find some hacks, and make other ppl frustrated about the hacks. But then again im not that 13 year old kid :).. anyhow I look forward too see and try out the standalone game, and i will keep my fingers crossed for good luck. That there isnt gonna be so many hackers, if any..

"trying to find rocking horse shit." omg brilliant hahaha... beans for you

lol ofc, there is.. first of all maybe you should run the game with visibility on 100% instead of the normal 50ish % second.. ofc there is fog, but its not on all servers etc etc.. its a mechanic in the game so on some servers there is foggy, and others it might be raining.. if you are lucky and is on a server with clear weather, nice daylight etc.. yes then you can easily kill from 1+ km's away.. the .50 cal weapons effective range is 1.2 km's so ofc you can hit from that distance.. unless you are a complete dumbass

well it doesnt work flawlessly.. but yeah, some players actually dont shoot others on sight, if they arent looking like a bandit anymore.. wich is great tbh, that kinda makes it possible to group up with randoms again.

yeah, then you are safe.. because sometimes it has a tendency to "rollback" your backpack to the starting one ^^, atleast it happened to me

Its kinda funny, when some players get tired of the game, either by being killed alot or whatever reason, they often turn to cheats or hacks.. why just not play the game anymore and find another game to play? instead of making the game unplayable for the rest of us, that actually still enjoy the game.. but well, i guess some ppl just are low life's that still live in mom's basement at the age of 35 :) i just dont see the logic

I have only died from a bug once, a stair killed me dead, dunno what happenened. But other then that, its really hackers mostly that kills me.. because you really dont have much of a chance against that. Sometimes i get shot by another survivor or something, or even get killed by zombies. but most of the time i survive the bigger encounters with players or zombies, but have a broken leg or something. and thats farely easy to fix.

you cant hit anything with an assult rifle on 600 meters... its effective range 300 meters in most cases, wich basicly makes it virtual impossible to hit anything from double that distance.. unless ofc you are VERY badass at calculating the angle and shit :P and maybe shot the bullet in a 45 degree angle :P but i seriously doubt it.

Imo if they remove the .50 cals from the game, they would also have to remove the heli's. because how can you protect yourself against them? well yeah you could spam alot of bullets from other weapons, and maybe get lucky with a shot at the pilot or whatever.. but the only reliable weapon to defend against chopper rapists, is with the .50 cal. 3-4 shots = dead heli. well okey there is a rocket launcher in the game, but isnt that even more overpowered then the .50 cals?.. and also harder too hit a moving chopper with imo.. if you just remove the .50 cals snipers cause some players obviously cant figure out how not to get blown away, it would just open a can of new problems, and make the game unbalanced in many other aspects... and thruthfully guys, its not like its hard to dodge a sniper, just keep moving, and not run in a straight line, you should be okey.. instead of changing a game, because some ppl have a hard time.. why cant the few ppl not just learn to avoid getting shot by snipers?, everyone else learns from their mistakes.. but not them, they just QQ about snipers, lol :D

True, but then again so many ppl use the losers way out and ALT + F4 everytime they are getting shot at, so i can understand why some ppl use em for soft targets, because one hit = death. then they cant bullshit ALT + F4 them out of the game. In my case i like the M24 better, because its kinda harder to kill with due to the disconnecters, because even if you hit them in the chest, most of the time they will survive, and then alot of players logs out. So you need to be sure you hit them in the head, wich makes your distance calculations that more important, and ofc waiting for the exact right moment to shot :)

Nice story :) and good job dude. rock on.
