Azimuth, are you going to do a write up on the game? It's always fun to read about a new player's first experiences with the game.
Here's a rundown of my first 5 hours of playing Dayz.

Ooooh! Not really attached to any server yet, but I've mostly played on ZA1. I'm using the nick Azimuth now, so look out for me.Quote:

Currently Private Hive and servers using this are not supported by the DayZ Development Team.
That is to say; DayZ developers will not deal with issues relating to the Private Hive.
So our group ran into a hacker last night on ZA1 :(

Reported it on the WAGE forums http://forums.webafrica.co.za/showth...ll=1#post71322
Ok this is strange, we thought it was a bug, but my group experienced the exact same thing on ZA4 (no name tags server) :(
We really thought it was a bug or some other odd occurrence, but 1 guy killed 3 of us between the woods of Cherno and Electro above Prigdorky. This guy came Jogging past, we spotted him early and started opening fire. 2 of us were carrying AK's, one was carrying a M4 CCO, and this guy was no more than 50 meters from us. We pumped him full of rounds, each emptying a clip without a single hit or pain sound. He then swiftly killed all 3 of us :(
So many AS50 TWS rifles found this weekend. We were constantly getting shot at elektro from the hills at night time, we lost so many characters and we just could not figure out how these guys could be so accurate with AS50's at night. We knew it was AS50's because of the sound as it's the primary weapon our group uses, so we kept on going back and dying as we were trying to see what the hell is actually happening. We were getting killed from all directions, we approached from every possbile angle, and for hour upon hour we just kept on dying.
With some cunning tactics and some diversionary play we managed to find and kill one of the players. He had an AS50 TWS. Before we could finish looting his body, all 3 of us were killed, all 3 were one shot kills. So for the umpteenth time we made our way back there, we spread out a bit more and played it very very slow, armed with only the most basic of weapons we could find on our way there (Enfield, Double barrel shotgun etc) we managed to kill 2 of the Snipers. A couple of minutes later we saw what was going on. This was a group of 4-5 Snipers, spread out in the hills above electro all using AS50 TWS rifles. We managed to kill 2 of them, and loot the TWS rifles off the bodies.
As per discussion with Deadmonkey the other day, usually when we find hacked in weapons, we take them off the bodies and throw them away in the bushes or something so when the server restarts, the weapons dissapear. But we decided we want in on the action to see what all the fuss is about, so we kept the 2 AS50 TWS rifles on us. We found one of the players this time camping it out around Cherno with the same weapon loadout he was killed with in Elektro not too long thereafter, which means they are definitely duping them in the tents. Unfortunately, we were all killed as we were not careful enough, but then again how could you be if the AWS can spot anything moving for miles.
Played on a different server afterwards, and found yet ANOTHER player with almost exactly the same loadout, GS36 Silenced and AS50 TWS.
Now after an entire weekend of dying at the hands of hacked weapons, here is the Dilemma one faces.
A) Keep the hacked weapons you find on other players to stand a fighting chance. Cause NOTHING comes close to the AS50 AWS, the sheer range at which you can spot players with it, even in bushes and treelines is absurd. But by doing that become part of the problem yourself, because if you get killed and your body get's looted you give random players access to these hacked weapons, which they can then dupe as well.
B) Do what we used to do, take the hacked weapons and dump them so they dissapear on server reboots, but it's futile as these items are getting duped across servers and tents so there is an endless supply of them, so what's the use?
Other than this had some really fun times. We shot down a chopper with Normal AS50 Rifles above Elektro, thereby turning it into a deathzone, that was brilliant fun!
I'm sitting with the same in my mind as Jamila posted above and I quote from another forum where I posted this:
Quote:
A week ago I found an AS50 TWS in a tent. Tested it out then dropped it in a Zombie and did a Hide Body. Also found a M4 Holo SD & a G36 SD in tents.
Saturday I killed a hacker with an AS50 TWS and also did a Hide Body on him, but 3 mins later there was a fully kitty guy with AS50 TWS again out in the open killing 4 of us.
Also scoped some ppl running around with it.
So I'm sitting here wondering if the next one I find I should actually use instead of doing Hide Body every time.
Will the mod work with ARMA 2 Free? I got it from a friend and wonder if this mod will be compatible with it, or else what all will I need to play this game? My brother who is in Australia says it is incredibly fun.
