I just tried to meet up with a friend. I was hiding in a bush for a while waiting for him. He had to restart his router so i thought i'd crawl to a barn about 300m away and then get him to meet me inside. So he comes back on and he sees someone in the treeline about 300m north of the barn, the guy is just running on the spot. So i tell him take no chances he might kill us on our way out or some shit. He shoots him, then i die. Turns out the guy was me 300m and 15mins in the past.

TX8 is GAFs sever huh?
I'll drop in sometime, Aussie servers are pretty shit generally so I'm playing on US servers most of the time anyway.
Me and two mates found a van, had about an hours worth of fun then got 'no message received' and lost it. Now stuck out in the middle of nowhere on foot.

Are you sure you're launching the game as CombinedOps? As opposed to vanilla Arma II or OA?

I think rocket said he got rid of retrying to authenticate message, so it means you didn't place/load Dayz properly

Wait, so what happened? did the game break the space-time-continuum....
Nope, killing bandits made you GAIN humanity, didn't it? Some people complained that if you tried to kill someone before they killed you and the person you wanted to kill WASN'T a bandit, you'd get an undeserved bandit skin, but someone in this thread mentioned that it only took them a day or so to get rid of a skin after deciding to kill two people, so I don't really consider that a major issue.

Indeed. It felt okay. Maybe, okay... make it less distinctive... but come on, give us something that at least in close quarters can give you a hint. I don't care for long range.

Is this good playable with the xbox 360 pad ?

I've been playing the Arma 2 Free version with the pad, surprisingly well mapped to the pad.
Though I can't really figure out how to make my own mappings without breaking the default 360pad mappings...

I had just found the Mk 48 machinegun, and the next time I log in I spawn in the middle of the ocean with all my gear lost. Screw this.
Edit: Turns out the reason was beacuse I was wearing a skin. Don't wear skins unless you wanna spawn in the ocean

I'm one of the guys Dmax was playing with when we found the van- what's your steam name? We should join forces a bit. The more the merrier and all that.
I've changed skins three times now, never happened to me. Where did you find the Mk48 and which version you're playing? I must have played this game for 50 hours near NW airfield and never seen an LMG ever.
Yeah thats because being in AusGAF stops you from playing games...Oh, you're one of those guys. Australians on GAF who aren't in the AusGAF cool kids club.

Have raided the airfield 4 times now and Stary 3 times STILL NO NVG GAH!
If you find a laser range spotter thingy you can trade it to Gibz and he'll give you NVG if he didn't complete the trade already with someone else.

Ugh, my game wasn't even finished loading textures and I was killed. Four more minutes of loading for me!
Then my wife and kid start nagging me, despite it being nearly midnight and both of them being in bed. This is definitely not a game to play as a dad of a toddler and husband of a needy wife. I had to sit in a zombie rich area for a few minutes to deal with them, shocked I didn't get either eaten or shot, because I didn't want to deal with the long loading of reloading.

Running version 1.7, happened both the first and second time I used a skin
You can find LMGs it in the barracks, but there's only a 0.11% change of it spawning there according to the loot sheet

Are those zombie counters right?
I swear they can't be.. was on a 25p server and the count was around 300.. by damn if every little town I can by wasn't swarming with the bastards.
I killed about 40 between a small town and a barn about a km away.. ran out of ammo.. both times were me being sloppy and spotted.. with no ammo I was fucked.. but damn.. so I had killed 40.. and had a zombie trail of at least 12 following me... that would have been like 17% of the zombie pop on the server that I was just unlucky enough to spot?
That can't be right.

Zombies are populated by proximity and can respawn quite rapidly.

Gotcha, lame... they need to turn the amount that spawn down.. crawling on your belly just isn't that fun.
Personally I don't mind the numbers, I just have ridiculous amounts of hate for their (lack of) AI. I don't care if zombies walk or run. I don't care if they can swim and climb ladders or not. I don't care if there's a hundred zombies per square feet. I do, however, care that a game in 2012 (albeit a mod and in alpha) has this shitty AI for most likely the simplest type of enemy known in modern video games.

Well, the shouldn't be able to walk through doors, climb ladders, jump fences like nothing, teleport, fall through walls, have the stamina of a Kenyan distance runner?
I'd really like to be able to escape a hoard when out of ammo without glitching the zombies. Make them slower, and then keep the numbers up.. you can do this and keep the theme very fresh without destroying the hardcore nature of the game.
Since there's no melee, firing a makarov in a decent size town is suicide pretty much.. so one mistake early on and it's over.
As long as you are using 1.7.0 there's nothing more to do. If you're still on 1.6.0.1 then install 1.7.0 immediately. EDIT: Nvm, you were playing on TX8 so you're 1.7.0
While technically it's not, many servers have it as a requirement since it has some really great improvements over all.
Has anyone else been experiencing a lot of lag lately? Even when I join low-ping EU/UK servers, there still seem to be connection issues and delays with shooting, gear management etc. It's got a lot worse this last week or so.
I'm running the latest patch and beta (93616), and I'm from the UK with 8mb broadband. A few weeks ago it was fine.

It's a wide problem right now. Not entire sure what's causing it, but there was that security breach / botnet stuff from two days ago that might be causing it.
Right. My friend and I are playing again right now, and it's just worse again.
In some cases, our pings seem to double going from the server menu to the actual game.. no idea why that's happening.

I am ready to mess people up again.
The lag takes a huge chunk of fun out of the game, not actual lag, but the lag between shooting a person and those shoots actually affecting them.
I get the jump on this dude in Stary, put 5 Kobra bullets in him, then a second later he gets 1 winchester shot off and apparently it was a headshot. We both end up dying at the same time. Those 5 shots I landed should have dropped him immediately. And this was on a server I was getting a 45ping constantly. /sigh

Yeah, that's mostly why I never engage up close. I hope that's something they can fix in A3.

from what I read on the forums, the recent lag problems are due to a quick fix that was implemented thanks to that hacker fuckwit that hacked servers and the DayZ forums.
I'll see if I can find it....
Edit:
so maybe not connected to hacker fucktard, but theres your answer...

Yep, water is evil. For some reason, anytime you start the swimming animation, you might lose your backpack.
Knee deep seems to be fine.
Steam ID is Kritz7, but if you're searching just type in Kritz. I'm the guy with a really shit drawn avatar thing.
AusGAF also has an incredibly active Steam group chat, because we're idiots and hate IRC (except on workdays). And a thread over in community!
