I'm sure you've heard this one a million times well heres a million and one. Spent a few hours getting parts for ATV. Had it all geared and was on my way when I went over a bridge heading out of Cherno. It flipped, started on fire and blow up. All gear I had stored on it and hard work down the f'n drain in a matter of seconds. I love this game but if your gonna keep DayZ mod avalible to the public at least please fix some of these issues. I don't wanna hear crap about it being Alpha, that only means you need to complain and they need to fix things. Alpha doesn't mean you should continue to play a broken game. Thank you for your time...I feel much better now.

Na. Probably not the monitor.Never did it outsied those two times and I play a lot of other games. I don't normaly even use the choppers because they are an easy target especially I solo 90% of my game time. I'll wait and see if it happens again though.

Just had a question to see if anyone else has had this happen. Not sure how to search for this problem so I'll give this a try. Sorry if it's been covered I couldn't find it. This happened in two different servers (both private servers I might add), differnt maps, Lingor and Cherno and only when I was flying a helicopter. The first heli was a little bird, the second was a Huey. I'm flying along and at some point the screen goes blank, I can still here the chopper engine going. I have to litteraly Ctl-Alt-Del to get out of the game. The weird thing is when I get back into the server I'm on the ground, unhurt and with all my gear that I had prior to the mishap. The heli is nowhere to be found, not even a crash site. Thanks for any response in advance.

The thing is Zeds do not just gang up on a player before hand. If your running through the streets of a town in the middle of daylight, then your visibility is super high and your attracting them to you. So of course their going to chase you and try to slap you to death, its just their nature. I think if people are using the logging option just to get into a building safe and sound, might as well just remove the zombies from the game. Someone already said it - "Defeats the purpose" of even having them in the game. IMO.

Ahhhh...okaaa :huh:

Expressing my apologies. I did find a few other threads that had this subject in great detail. Ok so I don't see any delete post button...here have my can of beans instead.

"This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application. You cannot play on this server. If you are the server admin please contact DayZ staff."" Was playing fine all morning until this afternoon. I started to get this on a couple of servers now I can't get on any without this coming up. DayZ Commander 0.9.0.107 Steam Arma 2 Beta 1.7.3 98866 All the servers I try to join show the exact same version as I have. Windows7Ultima Everything up-to-date Yada-Yada

Technically I gave you my beans for your awesome sig... :thumbsup:

Say you place said tent...and then you leave and go off into the world to do stuff...and you come back...its dark...and you suddenly notice that all the trees look alike and you can't remember exactly where you placed said tent...becasue you hid it so well...and you start second guessing if your even in the right area... :rolleyes:

And this video is why I will always try to carry one frag in my pack at all times... ^_^

I hate hackers. They are idiots. I just switch servers. Eventually they'll get the idea that no one wants to hang out with them. ;)

"and you always have to check around you cause they are fuuuuukin sneaky" :lol:

Was casually checking out videos on some random sites throughout the internet one evening, on a site that had nothing to do with gaming or even DayZ for that matter, didn't even know DayZ existed and clicked a game video splash that showed a dude with a backpack and baseball cap - it looked ARMAish and what I realized after was the famous DayZ uniform - and watched it. I wasn't sure what I was seeing at first but then realized it had something to do with ARMA 2 and a mod. Watched three players walking down a road in the dark with flashlights, they seem to be in a slight panic trying to get down this road, then I put on my headphones and heard them talking to each other. Then something comes out of the dark and I hear one of them yell "ZEDS!" and they all start shooting it. Then they start running a little down the road, flashlights strafing the ground and they are screaming to each other to run. I'm like thinking to myself "What the f**k is this?" Then there was some more shooting, flashlights strafing through the trees then one guy yells for them to stop but stay on the road. Its dark, and one of them is slowly moving his light around the area. He goes "Hear that?" Theres this horrible noise coming up behind them and then the night sky is lite up with muzzle flash from their guns and zombies are running and falling. Being a big fan of Left4Dead and Dead Island I just knew at that moment what ever mod it was I had to have it. I did a search right after the video and found DayZ mod, the rest is history. :rolleyes:

I gave you beans just for the "WIDDEN PALETTES" link... :lol:

I've been reading the suggestions and I have to say some are pretty good. But for the most part I feel like with some of the suggestions I'd end up playing something like Dead Island or Left4Dead and other "Zombie" based games. DayZ is a really good concept and we all know can and will be a great game, in standalone or continued mod. The game is survival. Its about starting out small and working your way up, finding proper survival gear and keeping alive. At this point, in alpha its just to easy. You spawn and within hours your at the NW Airfield picking up the good stuff and pretty much owning anyone in the game after that. People want this game to be even easer with high powered rifles, NV, silencers, rangefinders and the like, is it about survival or is it about killing ever one in sight and grinding gear? The goal shouldn't be to get the golden gun but struggling to survive long enough to get it. It shouldn't be to easy to get off the coast. Its shouldn't be to easy to find weapons and gear, or at least you should have to use wits or group up. To even think about getting near NW Airfield or the major cities for meds and weapons it should not be that easy. Beef up the zombies in those areas. Make them harder to get around, even in the dark. I've crawled by hundreds of zombies in the dark, in and out like flint. Crawled in and out of NW filed solo. Its about the basics, staying alive long enough to work your way up to the better gear. Food, water and bandage should more important then a gilly suit or a helicopter. It just seems like zombies are going to end up second level in this game. People are looking for bigger and better weapons, trucks, boats, trailers, a cabin in the woods, under-ground forts, vehicles that are indistructable...I'd like to play DayZ, not CoD. Just my opinion, no offense to anyone. :rolleyes:
