They still spawn AFAIK. Some admins don't like 50 caliber rifles. Also the AS50 has bugged sights and damage. Some admins also took out the M107 because an update made it "lock on" to targets.

You can trust people if you like, after all, what's to lose? It's all an experience. Don't be attached to your gear. I wouldn't be doe-eyed and trusting of any player I ran across, but you don't have to shoot every player on sight. Also the largest and most obvious tip: stay out of Cherno and Elektro if you want to live a while. You should go to a hospital in either city before venturing North and pick up a couple morphine and antibiotics, but after that, just run out of there. You can find most other stuff in less dangerous locations. Also, regarding PVP - perhaps the most important thing you can do is making sure you see them first...

But as Jona mentioned, they could kill themselves if they wanted to suddenly be closer to Cherno, or if they got kidnapped. Suicide is acceptable if you're glitched and can't move, or possibly if you're horribly injured. I don't want any form of casual suicide in the game, the Kamenka lighthouse is bad enough. In real life there are actually consequences for killing yourself, such as killing yourself.

Unless you're a samurai or an ancient Jewish zealot you're probably not going to kill yourself if capture is imminent... How about they add it in, but if you kill yourself you get a 2-day ban?

Like you said, InfiStar is a hack, plain and simple, shouldn't have been using it.... :| :| :|

Bahahaha Der Gesetzgeber ist ein Schweinehund!

Simo Hayha preferred iron sights over optics partially because he was able to spot the light reflecting from Soviet snipers' scopes. What veterans did you talk to that used SV-98s though? I don't want to see any reflection off lenses in DayZ. When you have a scope you want it to collect all the light it can, it gives a bright and better picture. Almost every telescopic scope (and binoculars, etc) these days will have some sort of coating. They might reflect some light but any in-game attempt at modelling that would definitely overdo it... otherwise it would be almost unnoticeable in 99% of cases. They'd almost be better off modelling reflection from buttons on your character's clothing or backpack. <_<

I feel pumped...

Ding ding.

I don't care either way, more clothing would be nice though. Kill zombie priest -> dress like Father Karras.

The age old decision between saving the skin and saving the bambis. ^_^

Speaking from a "realism" perspective the hero / bandit system makes no sense and should be removed... however I actually don't mind it. The stuff that really bothers me almost always has to do with weapons and to a lesser degree, vehicles, "that's my issue", so to speak. I actually like the bandit skin... ^_^ that or ghillies.

Things I'm not proud of? Loading my AS50 and Mk48 in an AN-2, then trying to take off into the air before I got up to an appropriate speed... boom... :| I don't do things I wouldn't be proud of to other people. :lol:

All the public servers are linked, that's what the traders trade on. So just find someone, agree on a public server and hope they don't snipe you.

No knife or laser pointer duct taped on... knife wouldn't work, laser pointer wouldn't work. Flashlight could work on a long gun.

Yup, any rifle will go through a car, you don't need an anti-material rifle to counter Ladas and Urals. As for helicopters, they tend not to stick around if you have an LMG. The "AS50 needed for helis" argument doesn't count because the AS50 has bugged damage - it shouldn't be that powerful in the first place. I don't think armed helicopters have much of a place in this game anyways, and if we have armed helis, why not armed cars?

If heroes get perks for aiding people, should bandits not get perks for killing people? Trolololo... No, but seriously, either or, I'd prefer no perks (as they currently exist), but favouring heroes is unfair to all the wonderful banditos out there.

Mess around with remapping the controls for "zoom (continuous)", "lock and zoom", "optics" and "optics mode".

Last time I got stabbed it sounded something like this: "FUUUCKING HELL!"

This is weird, I haven't really tested it out since I usually don't shoot through store windows... but the times I've tried it seemed to work fine. Hmmm.

Let them tape away... there's no good argument for keeping the crosshairs in the game.

Are you my alternate account? ^_^

Comes from Nepal, but most of the copies you'll find nowadays are Indian and of sub-par quality. The high-quality pieces are still Nepalese and are very fine... Tora, Himlayan Imports, etc. Some day I'll scrounge for a Dui Chirra:

The places no one thinks of. Too many random wilderness places to list. For some reason I find a fair amount of tents on the hills around Polana... I hang around there a bit because there's always well-geared players to kill. :ph34r:
