Entirely spawn dependant. I'll usually avoid the nearest village to where I spawn and head off the beaten track at top speed to limit my exposure to new spawn killers. Then I'll look to hit up the nearest large settlement to get a weapon and a pack after watching for 5-10 minutes to ensure there's no other players around. After that, I'll avoid the common routes and go explore the new North. Trying not to starve to death...

Are there black cargo pants in the game?
terminal_boy replied to Karmaterror's topic in New Player Discussion
Keep up the good work, DayZ Ninjas! Target Indicator Black makes you fully geared types so much easier to see and avoid. -
The god damn fauna doing zombie sounds..
terminal_boy replied to infiltrator's topic in General Discussion
Yes, an almost brown boxers moment the other day when I heard the "soda can" noise from what seemed like inches away when looting a totally deserted small village. The startled birds sound always has me diving for cover and looking around when I'm in the woods too. -
Mmmm.... Side boobies. Only thing better is under boobies.

Another F5 addict here. Attempting to adjust stance ArmA 3 style is another favourite.

Today we met a guy playing for the first time
terminal_boy replied to thelonewarrior's topic in General Discussion
Well played Sir, well played. Have some beans. -
^ This. And as trigger control isn't modelled, hitting what you aim at is down to the player being able to estimate range, zero/hold off as required and get the correct sight picture before left-clicking.

Me neither. Get off the beaten tracks. Living off raw rice and pond water until I find a can opener and loving every minute of it.

Play : Yes Enjoy : No.

Shotgun range? I got sprayed from 300-400 meters?
terminal_boy replied to TheSkempi's topic in General Discussion
Looking at the projectile strikes in the grass in front of your character, the normal ArmA 2/3 answer was that you were in the beaten zone (area of bullet impact) from a light or medium machine gun. As DayZ stands, either you had someone nearer firing an M4 or SKS at you or a number of shooters with Mosins firing at you. If a shotgun really did that, Dean needs to smack the Dev that coded it. -
Note the use of the word "effective" in my post. I never said that Joe Blow The Cable Guy could make such a shot, but the Mosin is capable of it and until the wholesale introduction of carbine-length assault rifles with magnifying optics; there were a bunch of people trained to be able to do this. In the UK, they were called Infantrymen.

How I shat my pants over nothing
terminal_boy replied to Ivanho (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Good idea. Now you can have mouth/lip cancer too. -
SKS should be able to hit a man at 300 metres with iron sights. Putting a scope on it shouldn't increase it's range as it has AK accuracy and ballistics. Mosin should be able to hit a man at 500 metres with iron sight. A decent scope should extend it's effective range out to 800 metres. No idea if the game models the above correctly.

That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing!

Is kicking players instantly from servers allowed?
terminal_boy replied to duulis's topic in Server Advertisement
Tell us more about these "hot girls" of which you speak... -
I Think I'm Too Trusting And Nice.
terminal_boy replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Discussion
I'm a nice player as I haven't killed any of the unarmed players I've met so far while looting the smaller central villages. Apart from the numpty who run towards me fists raised wibbling away in foreign over Direct. He contracted Axeinface Sydrome. -
Excellent idea, well presented. Have some beans. Perhaps you would need to place items to be buried into a protector case or ammo box, though even a burlap sack would protect tinned food for a short period. I like the idea you can mark the stash with stones or on your map or GPS if you have one. I don't think it's possible, but ideally, your marked map/GPS would still show your stashes if they fell into another player's hands.

Give 2 choices for logout timer: "wait" and "exit now"
terminal_boy replied to knar33's topic in Suggestions
Anyone logging out where another player can actually see their character (unless teamed up with friends) deserves to get their gear stolen. -
PSU failing under load?

When will Dayz optimization for laptops?
terminal_boy replied to koba09's topic in New Player Discussion
Optimisation is not going to make the SA run at 60 FPS on High on a £/$/€500 laptop or a 2007 desktop. -
How would a G36 end up in Cheranus?
-
Unfortunately, both the minimum and recommended specs posted are way behind the times. If switching graphics setting X off or below a certain threshold gives a player an advantage, the game shouldn't allow this. On the flip side of this, players with higher-end PCs should be able to make the game look as shiny as possible without putting themselves at a disadvantage.

I have PP on low for exactly this reason : immersion.
-
Likelihood of finding US made aftermarket SKS parts and magazine in Cherarus is lower than my finding Miley Cyrus in my wardrobe wearing nothing but a smile.

Nope, the Russian Government aren't even allowing the AK-12 into the next round of tests for the AK-74 replacement programme as it had too many failures during the mid-2013 tests. http://izh.kp.ru/online/news/1543298/
