fatal (DayZ)

I'm not sure why people dislike the amount of pvp in the game. Surviving is both boring and very easy. I did it for 20 days without killing anyone. Got so boring that I killed my own character and went to elektro for the sole purpose of killing anyone and everyone I could find. The group I regularly play with agreed and did the same. Zombies do not keep me on my toes.....other players do, I support mass pvp.

Most people are suggesting a time out counter for anyone to logout. Like the one in WoW where you have to wait 20 seconds? The problem with this method to prevent logging is that you can duplicate items VERY easily. So I suggest a more simple method: Everyone knows the shock signal correct? If you logout while in shock you spawn in the server unconcious for 5 minutes. You go into shock if you are hit, shot at, or sometimes fall from a good amount of height or even sometimes when you crawl into your own tent, thats currently how you can get shock. My suggestion is this: A bullet meter. Acts just like the shock meter but is only activated when a bullet lands near you or passes near you. It hangs around for 5 minutes, if someone disconnects with this meter in play it will kill you upon relogging. -Yes I've read other threads suggesting solutions to fix pvp disconnecting.

Half way through reading your post this same idea popped into my head. A bullet meter. Acts just like the shock meter but is only activated when a bullet lands near you or passes near you. It hangs around for 5 minutes, if someone disconnects with this meter in play it will kill you upon relogging. Ill edit my post to reflect this more.

Oh yes, because kicking an internet cable or just losing connection is a much more likely cause especially after being shot at right before.. And no we are not mad. We die, we lose gear, vehicles, and you know what we do? We get more and continue having a great gaming session because the games not about gear. No problem. But I do ask that you leave the immature taunts behind. It doesn't help your case.

Unfortunately we cannot know everytime someone disconnects during pvp. But the people we do encounter that disconnects after we shoot at them, we ban. If you guys are mad at the ban......to bad because we are not revoking it.

Your friend was banned for disconnecting during pvp. He was called a bitch ass because thats exactly the way he acted. Your friend shoots at me and I have plenty of time to alt f4 out keeping my nvgs gps and silenced m4a1 but I don't and die instead. Even hype taking fire from you guys doesn't disconnect and runs away. He had an m107 gps and nvgs as well and didn't disconnect. He gets your friend carrying my silenced m4a1 through a field in his sights and shoots and misses, your friend immediatly disconnects. So your friend is not welcome on our server because we do not put up with pvp disconnects. You don't like it go play somewhere else.

Familiarize yourself with the map. Go into single player and explore the hell out of it. When you are finished and have a pretty good idea about how to navigate the map, FIND A TENT. Find a tent and establish in a well hidden area your new camp. This will serve as a base of operations. At first store anything and everything you can in the tent. Take into account your supplies, if you know what buildings spawns what, that will make finding certain supplies much easier. You see a player, shoot on sight, reason for this: 9/10 players have a shoot on sight policy, therefore you are more likely to run into hostiles than friendlies. I've survived much longer with this policy than trying to be friendly.

It was stupid-easy to avoid the 1.7.0 zombies. I could kit out my character with a new backpack' date=' assault rifle, new pistol, plenty of ammo, etc, and often not have a kill a single zombie. Part of what made this game such a "kill on sight shooter (with zombies)" rather than a "Zombie Apocalypse Survival Game" was that you could pretty much just ignore the zombies. [/quote'] Wrong wrong wrong, and you couldn't be more wrong. Tired of people complaining about shoot on sight. The game became a shoot on sight because you are playing with other PEOPLE. If someone has something to gain from shooting another. They are going to do it. Even with the patch I still have a shoot on sight policy. I can handle the zombies, but other players are to much of a risk that I have no care of taking my chances with.

Well since the zombies are insane now, who cares about the sound of the guns. Time to blast my way through cherno. Run, blast, run, blast, other players, blast.

lol I can see banditry skyrocketing. With zombies being far more powerful and with better senses...why risk entering a city if you manage to find a player unawares. I'm still shooting on sight, save me alot less crawling.

Happening to me everytime as well. Doesnt matter which server, doesnt matter if I died, I'll respawn waiting awhile just to wake up. Happened after I was shot and killed.

Servers went down again, confirmed :(

Thanks man. Ill let you know.

Restarting every 10-15 minutes. Please fix the issue.

Its happening to all texas servers. Texas is the only server I do not get stuck in response with and it actually has no lag issues for me. But a restart every 10-15 minutes is getting on everyones nerves. Please fix it.

This story sounds familiar. Yep, being a bandit is the most honest line of work someone could do. I say I shoot survivors and bandits on sight....I shoot them on sight and my integrity is kept intact with my truthfulness.

Where are you supposed to dl this patch?
