This, I did it a month ago and now my aim doesn't feel sluggish it's way more responsive and makes it so much easier to play. If you haven't done this do it now.

Just half my name and number I find sexy

I guess it's just a two for one disagreement post. Speaking of disagreeing, so do I. NPCs just don't fit well, whether they are out to get you or in a safe zone (player/player interaction has been the main thing, never player/ai). That's another thing, safe zones are shit. It just creates something that people will camp, bandits will wait outside and kill people before they are safe. Dayz is supposed to make you feel unsafe all the time, anything can happen at any time. Safe zones take that away. I support base building however, I think it would be cool to have a walled camp. Though it wouldn't be impenetrable and no ai guards.

If the zombies can smell you in SA, you should be able to find vinegar or something potent like drain cleaner to pour on the ground so when you hide they can't smell you. Last resort is piss on the floor haha

I thought that was so zombies can't grab onto your crack hairs when you run from them

I'm too lazy to gather everything and take pictures but I'll list everything. weapons - my knife, throwing knives (no good at throwing them but they are great shivs), crowbar, baseball bat and a hatchet. Le'ts not forget fists + feet. Equipment - small 20L multi cam backpack, compass, 'pocket' street directory, first aid kit + first aid handbook(also pack painkillers, vitamin C, paracetamol), matches, lighter, small magnifying glass, wind up LED flashlight, backup led torch + pocket radio + x2 walkie talkies that all use AAAs, pair of NVGs (nothing amazing but they do their job, wish I had infrared torch would be excellent), duct tape, rope, toilet paper, multitool (pliers, scredrivers, scissors the lot), notebook and pens. I'm sure all of that would easily fit into the bag but I would probably have stuff hanging off the bag anyway to save space. I also have 2 blanks that I could hammer as a distraction or emergency signal. As for any tools I might want to grab last minute, my dad used to work as a mechanic, and after that used to work on autoclaves + similar equipment so my garage is packed with useful tools Clothes - black tight fit hoodie, black balaclava, warm grey skivvy, pair of sturdy bmx gloves, digital bdu pants, pair of joggers (no boots *sadface*, at least I can run though), extra socks + boxers. I would probably pack a poncho if I still have any, the ones you can pack into a tiny bag. I would also pack a shopping bag that can be folded up into a tiny pouch in case I suddenly need a lot more storage. consumables aka food/water etc - probably just grab a couple empty 1.5L coke bottles to fill with water. I would take saltines and corn cakes since they taste like popcorn and I'm not leaving without them. I have a stainless flask I would probably fill with vodka. Not much to leave with but there are plenty of stores well within walking distance ranging from take away fish n chips to big grocery stores. I think that's about it, everything I would be looking for to take with me. I guess would probably do best laying low in the day and going out at night.

what region?

it's not that bad, but sometimes people give shit away to be dicks which is a reason to get rid of side chat.

I think they should double the size of Cherno if possible without much damage to performance, it's just not big enough to be a big city IMO. It would be cool to actually get stuck in there because you would have to run a fair way past a lot of zombies and ruins to get out. They will add Utes off the coast which is cool, nice to have a place you need a vehicle to get to. you can swim to Skal island and run anywhere else. as for why not a NEW map, well we've all grown to love Chernarus and they are changing it up a bit which will be nice. No need to discard a nice big open map 'just cuz' agreed, it's taken them this long just to modify it god knows how long it would take them to produce an entirely different map of the same scale as Chernarus.

I haven't had a tent in awhile, can/did you save the tent a ton of times?

heh, the tag. Chance has always bit me in the ass whenever it can, from what I remember I've broken legs a few times from a stray zombie hit while pretty healthy which isn't fun. I think infections should only happen if you get hit while bleeding, a filthy person touching open wounds can't be very healthy.

for every genuine hero that shows up to help, there are 5 bandits that will show up with a hardon to blast every nigga they see in the face with a shotgun.

I agree with the whole "zeds - make em harder!" but can we focus on "zeds - make em less annoying and buggy" for now Agree with methr1k2dop3, should have seen it coming. The zombies get glitch hits in enough as it is no need to make the penalty even greater. I only get hit either from through walls or occasionally if I run past one it might get a lucky swipe (no problem with that last thing it's my gamble)

I've spawned on the coast sometimes and some dumbass is trying to snipe me, I usually get him to waste at least 15+ shots before I finally get hit. Other times on private hives where you spawn with guns, there's always someone close by to a spawn who will miss every shot. All you have to do is crouch and softly kiss his brain with a bullet. People that couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat make me annoyed mostly. The number of times I have walked away from someone who should have killed me is nuts, I doubt they even played A2 let alone completed the training.

go ahead, lock your tents & cars. It won't stop me from camping them until you return so I can blow you and all your stuff sky high with satchel charges >:V

it would be cool to build up a huge stash then get killed by a glitch and have all your stuff vanish, no thanks

If they added newspapers etc it wouldn't make a difference since hardly anyone could read them :P

could have saved that but hey you survived. You could probably survive the crash anyway, I've crashed an an-2 into a field and it blew up but I lived.

empty whiskey bottles would actually be useful with crafting, whiskey bottle + rag + jerry can = molotov cocktail. hopefully it wouldn't take the whole jerry can since 20L to a small bottle doesn't make sense, maybe we will have containers that you can fill almost drop by drop instead of full/empty if you see what I mean. You know so you can make a few molotovs and take 2L out of the can, then use 12L for your motorbike and save the rest for whatever.

A minutes silence would be all I ask, for the brave boxer shorts who have fallen in the line of duty. Never Forget :(

yeah, Mi-17 is a BEAST, I doubt 1 shot from an rpg-7 would take it down with the regular warhead. There's no need to shoot it down anyway if it's the unarmed one, it's not a threat. Fair enough something with rockets or machine gunners but if it's unarmed then why bother. Also I'm not sure if shooting the main rotor does much, I mean I used to fix up choppers (hueys) minus the main rotor and it worked fine from memory. Even the anti torque rotor isn't too big of a deal, not saying it's anywhere near easy to fly but if you lose it you can usually get moving and escape a fair distance before landing. Problem is people fight it and the chopper just dips out of control, if you let it go in one direction and take it carefully you should be ok. If somehow it is shot while you are moving pretty fast it wont even matter until you slow down.

You almost gave yourself the answer, just play it and have fun but make sure you also get out and do stuff. Find a balance. Then again maybe being addicted isn't so bad, I'm either asleep, at school or on the computer. It isn't that unhealthy, I just walk to/from school about 50 mins total each day and I eat pretty well so I'm not too fat. So, uhh, I guess if you start pulling all nighters and take a risk with a fart rather than leaving the game to go take a shit then it's probably time to go out with some friends. Take it from me, never​ trust a fart.

That makes sense but it still bugs me. It's not like I went out and hunted him down. Well as long as I don't lose my ghillie suit I don't really care I guess.

seriously? I'm playing on Namalsk at the moment and I killed someone out of panic (ran into each other I point blank shot him in the face with revolver). I killed the same guy a bit later in a barracks while he looted a guy he killed, he was a survivor though so when I killed him with hatchet that's another 'murder'. My humanity was reduced drastically after both kills. If I have another panic accident or kill another murderer and get bandit skin then it just shows how flawed it is.

beans for giving me wood in anticipation
