There'll be a patch out to fix it "within the hour" - posted on their twitter account about 40 mins ago.

I was getting the same problem. I kept on respawning as my character was just before I died in my previous game.

Thanks, was afraid I had made a right balls up.

Duggy747 · 24-05-2012 12:03am

It's screwed up, twice I've left servers and joined others to find all my stuff gone and starting from scratch again.

Havermeyer · 24-05-2012 12:13am

1.5.8.4 online now.

dan_ep82 · 24-05-2012 12:13am

Really need to get my bearings,can't seem to find any friendly's when I spawn.

Best I got was five dead survivors and 1 bandit that killed me.

Must get on teamspeak,no one wants to give away their position which is understandable

Join the boards mumble whilst on the boards server?

dreamers75 · 24-05-2012 12:18am

update it in the morning.

too many happy players on the boards server.

Twilightning · 24-05-2012 12:29am

How does the update process work for the mod itself? Is it automatic? Newbie to Arma!

Gaunty · 24-05-2012 12:30am

Happy players? They won't stop asking me to update the server. :P

Easiest way to update is www.worrom.com using that auto installer mate.

As Dreamer said dan, get on the boards mumble server. Everyone is friendly.

Frankly my dear · 24-05-2012 12:50am

The server is out of date....:p

Mossay · 24-05-2012 1:16am

Sickened! died with compass, matches, watch, sniper rifle, revolver, bandages, binoculars, flashlight.

And why? Because a zombie hit me. Once. And that one hit broke one of my legs, which downed me, brought the egg timer up, and left me completed at the zombie's mercy while I bled out.

On the boards.ie server.

My body on the north road entering Pusta. Loot it if you want.

Gaunty · 24-05-2012 1:58am

A lot of people complaining about that forums bud. Doesn't seem to be working as intended right now. Sorry for your loss! At least your free to go roaming again now

FlyingIrishMan · 24-05-2012 3:20am

This game has done something to my morals. Its like destroyed them.
Not just in this game even, I find myself being more mean in other games too. o.o

Same thing happened to me yesterday, lost m4 w/acog, all support items, but sure what can ya do but take it out on survivors and head back into the wilderness

Korvanica · 24-05-2012 9:07am

of the 6 that went to the airfield I think only 3 of us are left. I had to run into the woods as I had no more ammo. Literally ran to the woods full belt and disconnected. I just know im going to die instantly when I respawn in.

That server kicking us really screwed the raid on the airfield !!!

_vti · 24-05-2012 9:16am

Ugh that survivor jackass we encountered killed me

I suppose it was karma after shooting that fella who was spying on us with the binoculars lol

I saw him do it but was too far out to help sorry

As he was looking at your body I walked upto him and shot him point blank in the head with my winny.

Im not looking forward to trying to find ammo !

Kiith · 24-05-2012 9:32am

I was too busy being chased by 30+ zombies to really help. Hoped to lure them onto him, but couldn't find him in the end. Tried suicide-grenading them all in the hanger, but i don't think it worked...or at least i died before the grenade went off.

Great fun though :P

yeah i was all friendly up until guys i thought were friendly killed me a few times. Now i just kill everyone if i can. Makes for an exciting, but lonely, experience.

Same here, everyone is a c*nt in this game. At first i was all like OH HAY GUISE ANY FRIENDLIES IN CHERNO WANNA TEAM UP....lol. Not anymore.
Tho from time to time they can surprise you. I was getting some target practice with the CZ in the hills above pridgoroki, didnt realize the CZ was so loud it may as well be ringing a dinner bell, andi got chased by zeds back into a barn. I run in and up the steps to the 2nd floor only to find 2 guys already int he barn fending off a horde, and i jsut led another horde right to them! The 3 of us fought them off, and i fully expected the 2 of them to kill me, but they didnt. We all trotted off together, did some looting in the famr, and went on our seperate ways.

Ah its alright, I already began pegging it up from kamenka, should take a few minutes but whatever!

fingers crossed for some AT4s and a Barratt .50!

VinLieger · 24-05-2012 9:45am

Its kinda funny watching new players come on and ask in chat "hey any friendlies wanna team up?" they really dont get the game and how people think,
Even though me and the guys i play with only started about 2 weeks ago we were talking about this and wondering why we never were so naive and came to the conclusion its because we played eve and had to learn not to trust anyone on that, its a good lesson to learn for games like this, alas alot of noobs learn it a few lives to late

Korvanica · 24-05-2012 9:54am

I think most of us have done that. I know I did the first one or two times. Never got a response though.

Might do it again next time im in electro or cherno and murder whoever comes along though.

This game has made me evil

dan_ep82 · 24-05-2012 10:02am

I may download mumble so,i'll hop on then.

As for asking to team up,I've done it nearly everytime because I always die because I run out of ammo lol

Last night I got shot by a bandit.
Respawned and I was NW of a barn on a hill looking down into it. There was a wall between myself and the barn. I could see someone crouched at the wall and kept asking if they were friendly. No response,so after 6-7 minutes I said f**k it,ill go down and shoot him.

Turned out it was my own shadow:o

Genghiz Cohen · 24-05-2012 10:26am

Do keep in mind that bandits also ask if people want to team up. Or that they need help or some such. Be careful, especially if they have [Boards] in their name.

Hey...we only kill people who deserve it. Or have a nice looking gun. Or use binoculars. Or move in anyway.

We're nice guys...really :pac:

balkieb2002 · 24-05-2012 11:17am

I still believe in karma in this game.

I've yet to murder another survivor or bandit, my humanity is over 3000 and somehow i've yet to die (my player is around 13 days old though i've only played 6 of them).

I have yet to double-cross or be double-crossed, i've helped people who are near death and have been helped myself when on death's door. I've also targeted by people who've had the chance to kill me but then let me pass and i've done the same for others even those with better loot then me. All this with random strangers.

Now I know that alot of people have been backstabbed by "friendlies" and this has changed their perspective on things - they now have a shoot first policy and I understand this - and when this happens my outlook on things will change but for now when I say "I'm friendly" I actually mean it!

Genghiz Cohen · 24-05-2012 11:17am

Like me sniping a guy, just to see if I could (and I could

).

Delver · 24-05-2012 11:19am

I found the boards server for the first time last night, no idea how I hadn't seen it before! Cheers lads, had a good time of it, and people were chatting too, which is nice. Though the Spanish player invasion was a bit odd.
I'll be seeing you on there tonight again, I'm always friendly in the woods....

Wossack · 24-05-2012 11:26am

freezing my balls off in novy sobor, and battleye kept dropping me (and a load of others). Couldnt manage to get onto the boards server either, the bar for 'receiving data' never completely filled up about 5-10+ mins

temp system has been tweaked, yea? its pretty shite atm.. encourage me to find shelter, but then only about 2% of the buildings are enterable

dan_ep82 · 24-05-2012 11:56am

Does the salute or put gun down work?

I cant seem to do either..

I'm sticking to the woods from now on,last two days i've been killed in elktro,havent even made it to cherno

Delver · 24-05-2012 12:00pm

Yeah should do, press # for salute. Stick to the forests to be safe mostly, I only got to towns if I'm stuck for gear.

Kiith · 24-05-2012 12:00pm

You stay out of the big cities at the start imo. Keep to the smaller towns, and if you get swarmed, look for a building with two doors. Zombies get really slow when walking through them, and they give you plenty of time to pick them off or make a break for it.

Also...Barns are a mans best friend.

dan_ep82 · 24-05-2012 12:06pm

Cheers,I'll try it out

Cant seem to find the boards server either for some reason today

FlyingIrishMan · 24-05-2012 12:13pm

Is anyone from last night still in the big airfield?
I logged out in the airtower there last night and I'm afraid to log back in :P

Kiith · 24-05-2012 12:28pm

Nope, i died in a hail of zombie parts and fire.

Back outside Elektro now.

Delver · 24-05-2012 12:28pm

Kiith wrote: »

I agree! Big open space for you to manouvre, zombies will slow to a walk once they hit the threshold, and you can find Winnies, CZ550's and lots of ammo in them. Barn hopping is a great little tactic

Also with the introduction of the temps, it'll stabilise your temps by being inside, and you can build a fire indoors now.

I am, i'm in the woods behind the hanger nearest the station house.

I've no ammo at all... so im a bit screwed.

Wont be online tonight though.... Then there's the weekend what with all the sunny drinking and BBQ weather we might get.... Yay!

eurofoxy · 24-05-2012 12:45pm

is the boards server down? can't seem to find it...
what time is it set to? yesterday it seemed like it was always nighttime...

Remember to do a quick login to give yourself some food and drink, so you don't starve while offline!

You starve whilst your offline? I've not been logged on for days at a time and I never starved.

Yeah I'm almost certain it keeps ticking down whilst you're offline. I think it's really slow, so it takes a few days, but I've had times where my icons are flashing are not being on for a few days.
Could be wrong, I'll have a look on the DayZ forums!

Wossack · 24-05-2012 1:01pm

dont know about food, but I often have to drink immediately upon first logging in that day

It appears to be down right now.
Check here: http://arma2.swec.se/server/list
Tick the box to display servers listed as Down, and put Boards in the filter.

Playing with the filter, there's more DayZ servers down than up. Maybe it's something to do with Central...

You can't die, but your food and water definitely goes down. Pretty much have to eat/drink anytime i login.

Can we go somewhere other then the Airfield tonight? It's not worked well for me so far :P

FlyingIrishMan · 24-05-2012 1:34pm

What about going to some more towns in the north east? Perhaps Devil's Castle, or the other airbase?

Yeah, i was thinking of that. I've respawned in Elektro, and am going to make my way to Rog castle and then up to Berezino. Should be quieter then the other cities, and it has a firestation. Also really want to check out the far north Airstrip.

Once that's done, i'll head back to Devils Castle.

Man that's a lot of walking :pac:
