Mangles

I'd rather I got out before he gave me anything. The loss of my gear is not what I was after when I logged into Day Z this morning.

Seems someone on the AU 2 server cheated everyone's weapons. One minute I was using a revolver, suddenly I had an M9 pistol and some other military weapon that had a grenade launcher attached. Ammo for both, and it destroyed whatever I already had in my pack. Unfortunately my screen cap was just black and I don't want to go back into the server just in case. This happened at 09:04 ish Australian EST.

I don't server hop but I do not play on the same server every time I play. I don't require a regular server, nor do I particularlly want to be restricted to just one server. If it is full than I have no other options. This solution forces people to play on the same server all the time or loose their progress. Making it really inconvinient if your server is full or you can't remember your server due to not playing it for awhile.

This makes the hunger and thirst while offline way more harsh than it used to be. In the old update you could go 24 days and only need a single beans and soda to get you back to where u were. While I'm not saying that hunger/thirst while offline needed to be taken out. I do disagree with your version of putting it back in. Basically your killing any character who can't play for real life reasons for extended periods of time. That's pretty cruel to the casual gamers or occasional partakers of DayZ

I dunno if cross shade is still trolling this thread or not. But ZedsDeadBaby has his math right. In this case the loot piles are all individually spawning. So you can think of each pile as a separate independent 52 card pile. Not as a single card pile. Say we wanted to draw an ace of spades. We don't care about any card. Just the ace. If we only draw from 1 pile, then we get a 1/52 chance to get it. If we draw out of 2 piles, then we get a 1/52 chance and an additional 1/52 chance. This is represented by the ^x in the equations and increases base on the amount of separate piles. This will increase the chance of the one specific loot you need coming out of the pile. But unlike a single draw pile of 52 cards, which after 52 draws reaches 100%. This equation only approaches 100%, never reaching it.

NO But I think only a single mag, a single bandage, a can of beans and a water bottle is fair.

I agree with KZAQ666 here. A bandit play style, though deplorable, doesn't need to be punished. It would take out the paranoia if they did. If PvE was harder though, then maybe people would work together just to survive for as long as possible. You would still be shot in the back, but at the last minute when a half hour of bonding with your friend finally led you to a brief respite.

the best sign I have seen that you can visually show someone your friendly is the QE dance. Hitting Q then E then Q then E ect ect. You can't get head shot easily because of the movement, and even torso shots take a little more effort, and its really easy to see and identify. Helps a lot if you are in a city and you don't know if the guy you just saw responded with friendly or not.

I had this bug fixed for me. I emailed the Dev group, they "Killed" my character. Went back to spawn and I had the hour glass then suddenly died and could respawn. Had to provide my player Id and profile name.

Still have the same error. Unable to get the ESC trick mentioned above to work at all. Tried a few different things but no joy. I don't think uninstalling the game and re-installing it would help because the character files are tied to the database. I have no idea how to fix this problem, any help would be welcome. At this point I'm willing to loose any data I do have stored if it means I can play the game again.

I think nights are too dark. I don't want a sunny server at all. I like nights, the best stories I have are of nights. I still think that nights are much to dark.

I have this same problem also. Looking for an answer, I will try the above this arvo but am dubious of it. We will see. Let me know if you find a better solution. I'll let you know how the attempt goes.

Bumped this because I really need help. Does anyone know a way out of this situation?

Every time I load a server I get the timer counting down. I already died and tried the respawn process. Now I don't have access to any options when I enter a server and have to Alt+F4 out of the game to do anything at all.
