Sounds to me like you havent really played the map then. Some of the most intense firefights have been in Berezino for me.

It just isn't the same is it. I remember my entire body shaking when i stumbled across a player who hadnt seen me yet. The anticipation as to what would happen next was like a drug and i couldnt get enough. I lost the edge whenever I became completely comfortable in PvP situations.

This bummed me out. One could not help get excited thinking of all of the possibilities with these items. I thought my rugged bearded character would finally get to freshen up in the bathroom of the barracks. I also wanted to make some molotov cocktails but that was just a dream that hopefully will be reality in the future. Empty whiskey bottle + Jerry can + Toilet paper. Lets get this added!

This is such a contradictary sentence. As for my opinion im not sure. Ive been playing this game for roughly 8 months now and have had just about every encounter you could think of. Although i will say, I have yet to get stopped or stop a car with just a verbal confrontation. If a vehicle is driving towards me and i am armed, I will take aimed shots at the drivers cab. Even then, ive never had someone drive up, get out, and try to rob or talk it over. If someone has a vehicle theyre going to shoot. plain and simple.

...Wait theres a ladder on the court house? o.O

When I die from things to that effect it usually just feeds the flame inside to get my shit back, or take yours.

Would that be the right way to handle a Bandito camping on the Hospital? You just threw away your groups heli man... :facepalm:

I hardly found anything in the deer stands anyways. Usually just leftovers from where someone had enjoyed a pepsi and some beans with the occasional roadflare.

My best kill(s) made me feel like a fucking bauss. Im driving my disco bus on the outskirts of Stary Sobor one bright and sunny morning headed to Guglovo for my usual midday pick ups when suddenly I see a Ural driving towards me. As fast as i possibly could I pulled hard left, then back to the right, parking my bus in the dead center of the road and putting my door opposite of their side. As the bus was stopping i noticed they too were pulling over about 300m out. As soon as i exited the bus it immediately came under fire from multiple AK & M4 variants. Armed with my M16 ACOG, I lean out to peak around the bus when I caught a break in the gunfire to see 4 people running up on me. Two on the left side of the road, and two on the right. I had a shot on the two on the right (the side i was peaking) and took 4 at the lead guy, killing him. As soon as he went down i ran to the other side of the bus, peaked out, and put 8 or 9 more towards the other 2 guys killing both of them. As soon as they went down i laid down and looked behind me towards the right side of my bus to see the forth guy coming around the corner. 3 well aimed shots from my prone position and he went down too. Best multi kill ive been able to pull off so far. Got some good stories in here so far :thumbsup:

This is pretty much the truth. Bandits keep the dayz world going 'round and 'round. -Bandits love killing other bandits, keeps the competition coming. -Bambies are wary and afraid of the bandits (if theyve been killed/robbed enough), thus making it somewhat a thrill to try and make it out alive in the end with some gear. -Heroes love hunting the bandits and saving the bambies. -Medics need injured players to rescue and not all of them are for bad Zed situations. :lol:

You could think he just sexually molested you for all I care. What you think its called doesnt matter, that really IS banditry. what you went and did above the balota airfield was by definition being a skill-less asshole preying on the unarmed. I really dont mind you people doing things like AS50 sniping around balota though. I would prefer getting my AS50 by killing you with whatever weapon i found in the barn behind you than running up north to check crashsites. So with that, keep on doing what you're doing. the vast majority may not like it, but I sure do. ;)

I still try my best to negotiate and help whoever I am about to come into a confrontation with, and you know what's crazy? it usually works out, apart from the occasional douche. Maybe you guys just need to be more persuasive. ^_^

Hi there. Now, if you can read, you will already know i'm here to talk about the combat timer that they 'fixed up' in the latest patch. Let me just jump right into it. It is just another perfect example of something that was bad in the beginning, got better with the next couple patches, then was pushed too far and is just awful now. You go into combat/logout timer mode for anything that happens in the game. You spend 2 minutes after clearing any area of threats to even log. Oh you feel like sprinting? COMBAT TIMER COMES ON FOR THAT TOO. <- Come on this is rediculous. I'm one of the people before 1.7.4.4 who wanted it to be fixed to keep people from combat logging every time i held them up or missed my first shot. When they came out with 1.7.4.4 it did fix just that. i've found out through other players a way to get yourself kicked from the game if you choose (Map - Units - Server Settings "Script Restriction") but dont you think just once this could be fixed in a reasonable manner instead of forcing people to use exploits to be able to leave the game? Just my 2 cents.

yessir, vanilla arma is full of intense stuff like this. I will say though that when you do it in Dayz it is much more satisfying. You should have waited for him to land, domeshotted him, and flew off into the sunset.

You're being extremely simple minded here i might add. Ridiculous scenarios eh? You're right. Doorbells never ring, important phone calls never come in, life never beckons, there just never is anything short of an emergency that would cause you to have to leave the computer. Sure if an emergency were to arise you would run from the computer without even thinking about your character dying. What im making a point about is that this is still considered a game regardless of how some people think of it. I would like the opportunity to abort from a scenario that should be abortable. If im in combat with another player, i would consider my character dead. It isnt just Zeds or Players that inhibit your ability to log out now. that is the issue im discussing here, its been taken too far.

I can definitely see why you would think that, but I was actually one of the people pushing for a better system before the 1.7.4.4 one came out. Why do people automatically assume the worst out of people? I enjoy playing DayZ and everything it brings to the table. I never have combat logged out of a firefight. I take my deaths honorably. Fuck me right?

"Perfectly" is a little overstated. Bugs need to be worked out, and we all agree it does not work "Perfectly" Log out timer is bugged out pretty bad, and really shouldnt be any different from the combat timer. Also, i really dont think you should go into combat mode from sprinting. thats a little much. thanks for your fuck though, i appreciate any fuck given.

Im somewhat curious myself

As for you saying to just Alt F4, the game wont let you whilst in combat. something they fixed in 1.7.4

The main things about it that bother me are the buggy things, like when the gun in your HUD is green yet when you hit esc it says 30 seconds til you can abort for the next minute, and that when you sprint it makes you in combat. these combined have made me unable to abort for a couple minutes extra in situations i should have been able to.

What would be wrong with saving the hours you have spent on the game you were just playing by aborting? it would literally take 2 seconds to abort if you were allowed to.

Honestly any time i come across a can of the amazing Mountain Dew i hold on to it in my backpack as a good luck charm. You know whats crazy? It never fails. I live long and prosper with the can in my bag.

Im glad to hear that :P

I completely agree in regards to the last patches timer. the main point of this whole post was that the timer in 1.7.4.4 was just fine yet people still bitched and moaned about it not being perfect and as a result it got worse.

Sometimes you dont have 30 seconds mate. Like the guy before me said, sometime things come up. if my kid fell down and started crying id like to be able to quickly log and tend to him. in that situation would you wait 30 seconds? sometimes 30 seconds seems a lot longer than it really is. *(i dont have children, just playing devils advocate)*
