You get used to it eventually. Often when I'm fully geared up and die, I just 'lol'.
It's when it's from hackers that I feel cheated, even then I accept that it is unfortuanatly just another part of the mod.

The first thing I do now on DayZ is grab some morphine, the game has trolled me so many times when I don't have any.
Keep it in your inventory and never log in again.
Alternatively, setup a tent somewhere obscure and keep it stashed there.

Hey guys from MGT. Server runs great etc. Great admins helped me out after being killed by a bug. .
Dont know if its the mod side, but my first trip to a trader zone i walked in and some guy kept trying to run me over, so shot him and he starting calling for my ban.... Then 10mins later while i was trying to walk around and learn another guy came in and started driving over all the camo netting to run me over, eventually he got me and died.... I'm not a liar and swear on my life i did not do anything to antagonize a TK... The first guys who tried to TK was Razor (had a tag in front). Not sure of the second.
Mod could be great, but not prepared to spend 3 nights getting to NWA to a supposed safe zone to be TK'd, followed by the little ***** crying in chat saying "I thought safe zones meant you couldn't shoot"... Yet trying to run me over was fine, Clearly he was trying to steal my cash....
Thanks you to the admin who helped me out, i genuily believe you guys have been trying your best to stop this, but the mod is broken, no gun fire or vehicles should be allowed in the safe zones...... Perhaps have a teleport/lift system where it took you to the last town you were in to stop all this BS... Anyways...
... Thanks but no thanks. I cant put into words the utter disgust i felt seeing that little **** Razor crying when i shot him to survive after he was trying to run me over followed by another **** doing the exact same..... I'l wait for Stand Alone. F this

Gun fire doesn't work from within the trader city, but you can still be shot from outside, but the player shooting will take the same damage as you.
We've tried many configurations to protect players at trader cities, but as explained below, it's about striking a balance between playability and protection within the limitations of the Arma engine.
The CPC Epoch server has dragons teeth all around the trader zone which makes it very difficult to get run over when you are making a transaction. If you get run over anywhere else then you aren't paying enough attention
We have tried the dragons teeth quite a while ago and it causes problems when players buy vehicles because the amount of teeth you need to prevent roadkill means that bought vehicles very often land on those teeth and break them, now we have them surrounding the perimeter of the trader city, apart from the entrance which is required for vehicular access.
We have concrete barriers in front of every trader which means when you're trading and vulnerable you cannot be run over by a vehicle period. Obviously when you leave the protective concrete barrier area you can be ran over, but where do we draw the line?!
Simple solution we use: Vehicles don't parachute in.

+1, also stops helis landing in the trees at bash lol (which can happen when server has been up awhile as I am sure you already know). They pop up smack bang in the middle of the H-Pad, when ToejaM added those teeth and the don't parachute in part it was a god send admin wise imo.

We've tried that, it causes problem when there's a vehicle already in the trader area by causing the purchased vehicle to fly off about 50 feet!
As above, what happens if a vehicle is dumped in the middle of the H and you want to purchase one??? carnage, literally!
The way to do it is to disable damage to the vehicles and disable inflicted damage for a set period as it was comedy when we had height at 0 in server_publishVehicle2.sqf
Yes, would be great, can you trust message me the details buddy?
I quite like the idea of this mod and wasteland etc. Is it worth buying Arma now or is a new version coming out soon?
EDIT
Just seen on steam you can buy Arma 3 Alpha, will I be able to play on these servers using it?

There's years of content for Arma 2. Not just DayZ and Wasteland. You name it and there will pretty much be a mission for it. I would imagine there will be plenty of Arma 2 servers up even when A3 comes out.
Arma 3 is just in alpha stage at the minute and there is very little content which makes things rather stale. You can't play on arma 2 server with arma 3.
Edit - Forgot to mention, if you buy A3 now it will be cheaper than when it comes out fully.

Yeah I understand it has a lot of content it's just those 2 mods have piqued my interest.
Looks like I can get 2 and 3 for 28 quid on steam. Worth doing that?
EDIT
Hmm slight change, looks like I need to buy the Combined Ops package to play DayZ and if I want the best graphics I need the 24.99 package. Any estimates on how long till Arma 3 goes beta / retail. 25 quid is a lot to splash out if i'm not going to play it for long.

If I was you I'd get arma3 alpha for £20 for Wasteland and wait for Standalone dayz. Arma3 wasteland is good fun, loads of servers.
If you have not played Arma before I'd download Arma 2 lite for free, you won't be able to play the mods but it will give you an idea if you will like it.
Arma has always divided people some think the controls are clunky (not my view) & if you don't like that I don't think the mods you are looking at will be worth paying for.
That does sound like a good idea, was following the standalone dayz thread and it's only supposed to be a tenner or so. Unless I change my mind between now and getting home from work I will prob buy Arma 3. Are there any OcUK servers?
