CyanidC

well, he had me locked with the 30 seconds combat timer after shooting me and after i sunk those 3 bullets in his head, i refreshed it myself. I didn't know up to this point that he really was a hacker. So before those 30 seconds were up he came up the ladder and started shooting at me, again refreshing my 30 seconds on log-out. I couldn't leave, even if i wanted to, so i tried fighting and got killed.

I have a new story to add, happened today. Event 4 After succesfully filming some episodes for my Let's Play, i found an M4A3 CCO, i was a happy camper. So i curled up one of the rooftops in cherno and logged out. When i logged in again today on a different server, there was a huge battle going on in Cherno, someone had bait-parked a Helicopter in the square in front of the Firestation, and a team of 2 Snipers were sitting on the highest building, right next to mine. I aimed, i fired 2 shots and took one of them out, leaning out from behind a corner. I know for a fact they didn't spot me, in fact, the other sniper combat-logged. That fucking coward. After taking a good look around i notice a dude, aiming at me with an Enfield, i go prone instantly and a second after i hit the prone button, i hear him ring his dinner-bell, at that point i was already flat on the ground, my head protected by the geometry of this shot and the concrete ledge in front of me. Yet, i took that piece of lead straight to the brain and died. Now, i'm not sure what this was, if "Ub0r L33t H4X" or scripts or just pure server-lag or server-delay, but i know that i was pretty fucking mad. Luckily i spawned near cherno again and was able to sneak past the snipers and other bandits/survivors, to find my body untouched and unlooted, i quickly took all my shit, took another shot at the newly arrived Sniper on the roof next to me(Missed and he logged out again) and logged out myself. What a Day(Z)!

Next episode is up and running.

bump for uploading the next episode

So far i've only played Chernarus and i like it, it's simple and it works. Yesterday i Downloaded Namalsk and i'll give it a try in the next days.

How... This thing is called BANDIT Campfire... how could you not have noticed? and sure is cooperation viable, but there'll come a day when you trust the wrong person and after playing maybe a few hours with them, they'll backstab you for your beans. Let me give you some last bit of advice: keep to the small towns along the coast untill you get the hang of things. Only enter Chernogorsk or Elektrozavodsk if you really have to or with some better weapons and if you do, keep your head down and refrain from firing your weapon. Always check the Rooftops and Hills in those 2 towns, or it might be me that punches you a new orifice ;)

You get me wrong, the MLP thing was meant as a Metaphor. You're just in the wrong part of the forum. You should go check the "Survivors HQ" there you'll find the "nice" people. This here, is a place for people who kill to get their loot, which, in a real Zombie Apocalypse also would happen, it's just the way humans work. This game gives you the choice of minding your own business, trying to survive through scavenging or teaming up with other people to increase chances, but it also gives you the choice to be a bandit. To kill on sight, to rob people of their weapons without killing them. To do pretty much whatever appeals the most to you. There are Bandits with strategy, just this strategy involves killing other survivors to survive. Not every bandit actually kills every survivor they see though, me for an example, i do not harm fresh spawns or underequipped survivors, since they have nothing i desire and are no threat to me. What happens after my fair warning, is up to them. But if i see another player, bandit or survivor or even hero, that has something that spikes my interest or appears to be a real threat to me, I'll put a bullet in his head and take what i need. No warnings, no questions, just a few bullets.

>cooperation >friendship This isn't MLP:FIM kiddo, this is the Bandit Campfire.

SoTrue.gif Have my beans, good sir.

If it was real or not, you have my Beans OP! That was just too funny. I want to believe that it was your shot that took the chopper down.

>Carefull threat assessment >shot one guy without knowing if it was the same dude that shot at you, if he was armed or what his intent was >shot someone just because he put his Flashlight away and had a buggy nametag I don't think you know what "Carefull Threat Assessment" means, bud.

New vid is up and running!

The tune when you started creeping up on that dude, made me laugh for reasons beyond my comprehension.

I used "Gear" isntead of pick up, i've lost too many weapons from just picking them up, i've learned my lessons. It might have been just a bug or the game not working correctly. It was around the time of the great graphic fuckups and backpacks dissapearing from just picking up a ghillie-suit. If it's different now, very good to know.

tried that with an Mk48 i found once, didn't work. made my backpack dissapear completely and never found it again.

What he said. Every large weapon (every belt-fed machinegun and Rocket launchers) will completely replace your backpack and are too large to be packed into one.

Next-vid-is-uploading-bump

How can he have had a backpack if the Rocket launcher takes up your Backpack slot? i call BS on your story mate.

I was too tired yesterday to upload the second vid to the forums, but here you go now.

Well your first mistake would be going toe to toe with a random dude. If i see someone, i first just watch them from a distance and then, if i think it could be worth it, establish voice com. If no answer and with gear i like, he ends up with an aerodynamic hole in his head. I blame Karma for my very unfortunate encounters.

I'm with you on that 100%, I got often killed myself while just freshly spawned and unarmed, or with gear that wasn't worth the bullets i ate. Just today i let 2 bambis, one with a hatchett and one with a crowbar alive, they were no threat to me or had any loot i desired. One of them recieved some warning shots and he promptly took off into the opposite direction, the other one i made drop his crowbar so i could loot a Firestation in peace before going my ways. Usually, what happens after my warning is completely up to them. The second one wasn't as obedient and he followed me, so i had to tell him again to GTFO or i'd shoot him some new orifices.

I recently started doing DayZ Let's Plays and if the framerates start to drop, you might want to shut down some background programs (Steam, Skype, MSN, even Chrome/Firefox) and that should fix most of the framerate drops, if not, try and lower the graphics setting of DayZ. If i record at "Very High" i only get a laggfest myself.

Yeah i guess so, might just be me having really bad luck all the time in this game. It hates me^^

I saw the shots pierce the ground right next to his legs, i was not more than 85 meters away when i fired the shots, yet he dissapeared and left behind the 20+ Zeds that were following him and he was punched by them aswell. How do you explain that?

SHHH... SHHHH... no tears now, you're safe here. Tell us what happened.
