Still no fix for the god mode exploit? Can't describe it in detail here but it has been reported several times already.

Solution to perma knock out problem. (SPOILERS)
JohnnyCockroach replied to a.baranello@yahoo.com's topic in General Discussion
A solution? Really? It's a bug. People go unconcious randomly and for an unlimited time. Nothing except a bugfix is a solution. Everyone knows this is a survival game and everyone knows that you have to drink and eat. It's not even about drinking and eating, it happens randomly. This is just you advertising your stream by posting the same links on every thread talking about the issue and making one of your own. Not nice, guys. -
The houses on the coast are usually empty, but plenty of loot in everywhere else. It would be better if there was some basic loot in the coasts at all times so poeple would have the necessary equipment to leave the coast. It's risky to go running north with nothing to drink.
-
You wont wake up from it. People have been unconcious way longer so I suggest you just respawn
-
Random unconciousness is a game breaking bug in my opinion. I was in full health and had just eaten and drank when just dropped unconcious. Watched an episode of Farscape and after about 45 minutes I was still unconcious.

The problem with this system is that you can't even tell what the level of thirst is. "I need a drink", "I feel thirsty", "I feel like having a drink", "My mouth feels dry" etc. Which one is the worst state? When am I supposed to drink? The current system gives absolutely no feedback to the player and should be either fixed or changed ASAP. The same goes for hunger and fatigue, although fatigue is the worst of all of them, as there seems to be no way to recover from it. I've been sitting in a room for 15 minutes and the game keeps telling me that I'm super tired all the time. I don't want to move because I'll just go uncouncious, and as it is a permanent state it's the same as dying. I don't want to die of fatigue for the third time this morning.

Try running Arma 2 first, then Operation Arrowhead. I had the same problem.

There are several deer stands north of Kamenka, it's not a bad place to spawn in.

Make sure you dont have something else selected by pressing F. Just to make sure you're not holding a flare or something.

Hotfix Build 1.7.2.4 Rolling Update
JohnnyCockroach replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Updating working well here. No artifacting with GTX560. Zombie aggro is way too random. Sneaking is useless when there's always a zombie that aggros you from 50 meters away even when you're completely still and the ones right next to you do nothing. I dont mind the zombies being reaaally dangerous but it's just annoying when they're so completely unpredictable. -
i got banned becouse of hacking....
JohnnyCockroach replied to nocalora29's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
If you had read the EULA you would know better not to use Cheat Engine while playing the game, so even if the ban is just for your stupidity you deserved it. -
Hotfix Build 1.7.2.3 Rolling Update
JohnnyCockroach replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Zombie aggro is working better than ever. It's not perfect, but for the first time it seems fair. Zombies no longer aggro you from behind a house that's 100 meters away and that's a big improvement. Loading times are long, but once ingame the game seems smoother than ever. -
Hotfix Build 1.7.2.3 Rolling Update
JohnnyCockroach replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
"Loading" takes forever. It take several minutes to get past the "loading" screen every time I connect -
I played on FI 1 today and found out that the server is kept locked for 15 minutes every 30 minutes, so it's opened/locked every 15 minutes. The admin (Soppa) said the reason for this is to make DC'ers life harder. I guess it works for that aswell, but it's also also an annoyance for people trying to get in for other reason. As far as I know this is not allowed but I'd like to raise discussion on the topic and get the official word about it. The rules concerning server locks should be clear for both the players and the admins, and currently that isn't the case.

Server locked 12 hours a day
JohnnyCockroach replied to JohnnyCockroach's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
If you want to avoid death you can just quit to lobby, you don't have to leave the server. -
When I had NVG's, I only played on night servers. Now I dont have 'em, and I NEVER play on night servers. Yeah. I'm a fucking pussy, so what.. So YES. Removing them would certainly make the game alot more fun, with a whole different gameplay at night. There are loads of NVG's, and there's no point playing on a night server without them. It's a suicide.

In addition to tweaking leg damage from zombies you could also do something about the bleeding. It's stupid that half of the time a zombie hits you it cuts a major artery and you bleed out in a couple of minutes. I dont mind the zombies doing more damage, but the bleeding effect is just stupid at the time. You should bleed heavily when shot and in rare cases a zombie hits you, but not almost every time you're shoved by a Zed.

Daylight (time) out of sync with other players
JohnnyCockroach replied to Korben's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Comfirmed. Server time is out of sync all the time on all servers. If I start playing on a server at 4am server time, the sun will come up in a while. If I leave and come back it's night again. Happens every time. Servers I've been on: EU39 and EU4 -
Zombies still spot and attack through walls. They seem to spot you better if there's a wall between you and the zombie

DO NOT POST YOUR GLOBAL BAN APPEALS
JohnnyCockroach replied to rocket's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
After reading this thread and a tens of others it's clear that there were no false positives. There aren't alot of threads about global bans. If innocent people had gotten banned there would be alot more threads, and there would be threads from active long time users being genuinely shocked. It seems unlikely that only stupid noobs got banned by mistake. The weapons will quickly run out of ammo so it's really not an issue, and I don't think there's that many stupid people who keep using the weapons/gear after this -
Improving the Temperature System, post 1.6.0
JohnnyCockroach replied to a topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Temperature is just frustrating. What is there to do when it's night and it's raining? Absolutely nothing. There's just no way to survive that. I just spend a good half an hour making fireplaces all around the wilderness just to keep my temp close to 30. Then I decided to switch servers. I was just camping. Literally. I had to constantly move to avoid being assfucked by a bullet. Going in to a building is not an option, because the light from the fire glows through the walls. I just had to keep moving my fireplace and hope that the rain would stop. It didn't, so I left, because there was no way for me to actually play the game. Yeah, it adds to the realism but it's one of those things that add nothing to the gameplay. Much like a fork. -
20 words or less: Spawning without a weapon
JohnnyCockroach replied to rocket's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
NO Makarov is already pretty much useless. Just decrease the ammount of ammo at spawn. -
DayZ has become Deathmatch / Team Deathmatch
JohnnyCockroach replied to underpaidorphan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I shoot on sight. I'm a really annoying type of bandit. I go around with my friend all around the map murdering people. But we only kill people in self defence or for better equipment. Sometimes we've been forced to shoot some noob with starter gear, but that was only because they came too close and spotted my friend. I had to take them down because there was no way of knowing if they'll shoot first. One time we shot a guy looking over Stary Sobor with his sniper rifle. He announced his position, we watched him for a while but decided to shoot first before looting the tents, just to make sure. It wasn't fun, but we had to make sure. One problem is that there's no good way to put down your weapon. You cant holster your pistol, so you never know if the newbie with a makarov is aiming to your head or just wanting to talk. It's safer to shoot first. I think the game is working pretty well right now. Big towns are extremely dangerous, wilderness is pretty safe and people tend to either avoid each other or kill each other. That's what you'd expect from a zombie apocalypse. But the problem is that there's really no way of knowing if a player is friendly and no way of telling your own intentions to others. Teaming up is not the hardest part. It's a lot harder to trust someone not to shoot you in the head the second he no longer needs you. So is it realistic? Hell yeah. Does is work? Depends on how you think it should work. The main problem is that unlike in a real zombie apocalypse, in DayZ people tend to do just fine on their own. Everyone has the same skills, so there's nothing you actually NEED from other players. In real life there would be medics, mechanics, gunmen and the occasional useless guy who's only good for target practise. I really dont like the idea of classes in this game, but to be honest, thats the most realistic approach. Players should be teaming up for safety and because they need people with different sets of skills if they really want to survive. -
WTF is happening to the server community.
JohnnyCockroach replied to Koot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1047481/Living-humans-taught-dogs-morals-say-scientists.html i want bandits in the game' date=' but i also want some kind of balancing factor. statloss or watnot. or this game will soon turn into the movie "the divide". If we didn't have laws and concequences in real life everyone would butcher eataother and eat your children, i know i would. thats whats happening to dayz. read the book the road, there is only like 6 good people. in the whole world. dont tell me you would be moral when your life was at stake. another problem is for the people who dont have any friends, i cant group with anyone. atleast do it the diablo way and put in a carevear server with ponies. [/quote'] You can group up. Just find some people online or on these forums. If you really cant then you are fucked. Just live with it or quit playing. No one owes you a chance. -

JohnnyCockroach replied to Koot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Your not getting those ideas through. Bandits are a big part of the game. You're supposed to survive the bandits as well as the zombies. Who the fuck said that this game is about killing zombies? It's not. It's about survival. Posttraumatic stress for bandits? It's stress for everyone. Even more to the lone survivor constantly hunted by bandits. Moral dogs? What are you using? MORAL DOGS? There's no such thing as a MORAL DOG! That's just absurd.
