pffftt, as bad as combat logging imo.

I did on Wed 25 @ 01:03 I fell unconscious @ around 00:35, dying of thirst and less than 150 meters from a water source, so you know, I thought it was worth hanging in there.. fucking game.

It's not than we are self appointed teacher guys m8, the forums used to get clogged up with crying cunts that would have to come into the forum and make a list of the gear they lost for x reason, and much like the contemporary "to the guy that killed me at x, or to the guy I killed at X " posts that we have to endure now, no one gave two fucks about them then like now, it was easier to say, "there, there, don't get attached to your gear." when they come to the forums looking tea & sympathy rather than "fuck off you crying cunt no one cares.."

what you are talking about there is only 3PP camera, not 1PP you still ADS at default fov

meh.. in all the many many years i've been playing this game when engaging in combat i've initiated i've always been looking through a scope at as narrow a field of field as possible, it changes constantly depending on scope, weapon all have different comfortable FOV's to use, I really don't think it's possible to have a uniform setting for them all, I really hope it's something I can adapt to but I really don't know if I can even be arsed to.

yeah I agree i'd far sooner see 3pp go before the fov slider.

i'd agree with you only we'd both be wrong! (saint jimmy)

but no one is making you do it, that's the great thing about having control over it, all you're saying to the game is I don't want any peripheral vision at all.

of course it does, you are rendering much less than at a high fov, my FOV is being adjusted by me constantly dependent on weapon / scope / location etc what ever the situation demands. I don't even really think about it any more as I can do it so quickly.

everyone can do it, it's essential to get as good a frame rate as possible in a fire fight, more so when in city's, I have zero problems with it at all and I use it to my advantage as much as possible.

That's me, no gun in hand & waving. Shortly after this picture we transferred down to Balota airfield from Zeleno barracks where the photo is taken. No sooner had we arrived at the Southern airfield, after a pretty uneventful journey apart from a few infected. The guy in tanker helmet kills a dude in the A.C.T. camped under the stairs. The victim was called Billy & by the time I arrive at the door yer man has a fecking kitchen knife in his hand and is gutting the corpse asking if any of us "want some? There's plenty to go around if anyone was hungry". I turn round, run out of the A.C.T. and run through the fence to the left hand side of the entrance. Hannibal Lecter shouts a warning after me that i've an aggroed infected chasing me. I haven't heard anything, I spin round just as a woman in purple comes sprinting at me howling like the banshee. I just about manage to raise my m4, I can see her blood stained cheeks and cold dead eyes. The bullets smash into her body & she crumbles into a lifeless heap at my feet. The face still contorted in a perpetual snarl of animalistic rage. Relieved I turn back towards Cherno and the forrest when two shots go off right beside my ear *BANG* *BANG*!! It gives me such a shock I knock a cup of coffee all over my mouse and table! AGGGGGGGGH!! Shit!!!!!!! this becomes my priority to deal with while telling the rest of the group i'd come under fire. They were all as much use as fucking tits on a bull, 2 had no eyes at all and the other was busy butchering dinner for themselves. funny thing is though, I wasn't dead either by some luck. After I cleaned up the spilled coffee best I could, I could see everything was turning grey at an alarming rate on my screen, I knew I was bleeding bad. My reaction was to just to get bandaged up there and then. Part of me was pretty sure I was dead anyway. I think I should of just legged it & this is where I made my fatal mistake. Not only did I bandage, after tabbing I see my arm is broken too so I start futtering about looking for morphine in my inventory . No sooner had I found it, started to apply and I was dead. The cannibal? they went down next after a couple of minutes stand off. Our other comrades ( the sniper with the Mosin + LRS and the skater with the pimped out 101) had got themselves into a position at the old barrack ruins by this stage. Mosin identified who we believe killed us,and he executed them looting the Cannibals body. Pretty soon three armed survivors in total we're identified by my remaining group. One of which, who managed to kill the Asian chick with the AK. I dunno how it went down, but it ended with someone saying "hello big boy". Things after this got a bit strange. why? well because the sniper also killed a person looting the body of the skater, like he had done previously if you remember with the Cannibal. About a minute later a fully geared player appeared beside the sniper saying "hello big boy" the last thing they heard before the "You are dead" screen. We duuno if it was the same person or not. *post script.* A 5th member of the group landed to the party about an hour later on the same server. Both the cannibal and Mosin had managed to get back to the airfield and both made kills again before dying. The 5th member found no one in Balota at all, when he moved onto Cherno it seemed dead as well. So he just quit. History doesn't relate if he ended it by his own hand or if the character vanishes in the forth coming wipe. We were all too busy playing battlefield. TLDR = looking forward to .53

how i'm going out for .53

I was located pretty much at 050 091 np7

so here I am checking out green mountain / looking for crash sites. I can hear footsteps so I start to freak out a bit, I can tell the direction they're coming in but can't see anything, heart is starting to race a bit and i'm getting anxious thinking all kinda of thoughts about invisible hackers, when I see a rabbit! pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

the undeserved death in Dayz are the worst but you're going to have loads of them! so better get used to it i'm afraid, the mantra is "don't get attached to your gear"

yeah watching BE site and the client is still sitting at v1.223 hopeful that something new is coming to the table though.

when finding myself in the most unpleasant situation I though wouldn't it be great if you could use morphine for appetite suppression?

turn your mic up full volume, put your headphone earpiece next to the mic, turn on direct chat & then turn your effects volume up full in the menu, this causes a scream of a zombie and a shotgun blast - heart failure & freak out for your mates. Shit it even happens to yourself sometimes when you absent mindedly adjust the volume in game.

back in the mod, we used to leave tents of maps & Canteens & food at the suicide lighthouse near komy, then they invented online maps *boo* *hiss* I don't even bother with the coast any more, only as a fresh spawn.

I think Rumsfeld said it best when he said Dayz is born out of a hardcore mill sim played still by those types of gamers with that background. Who have been playing the game now for years! good luck stumbling into Dayz from minecraft or where ever, in many ways ignorance is bliss, or else, eventually, a rage post appears in the http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/6794-i-give-up-this-game-is-bull-i-want-my-money-back/thread for everyone to ignore. Or they post telling how to fix the game in their opinion, which everyone else ignores or rips the piss out of. the end. So it continues.

had to use a weapon cleaning kit today for the first time ever to fix a damaged .357 in my Hi C vest from a hit from a Z, one poxy hit and ruined my pristine vest *sadface*

meh, i'm just thinking something simple maybe slow the rate at which you starve to death for 5/10 minutes to give you extra time to find some nurishment. dunno about suddenly chasing dragons round Chernarus tbf.

death, afk under a bush, came back just in time to see a dude with a shotgun, my m4 was set to single shot, which I just about managed to get off in 3pp, while lying prone, uggggggggggggggh anyhooo they scored big, got details to a few camps if they bothered to read the note on me, I just hope everything was ruined :D
