    Chance of spawning as different characters

    Different skins, yes. My favorite thing about origins is while your face remains the same you have a good chance at a different skin every time you spawn or become a higher level hero/bandit. Different load-outs might be nice. Each load-out would have to be similar enough that there's no reason to suicide to get the best one, yet there's enough diversity for it to be worth implementing the feature.

    Is it still easy to gear up? (Hope not)

    It's always going to be easy to find loot once you know where to look. However, the duping of weapons seems to have been largely fixed. They aren't handing out AS50s at the supermarket anymore.

    Dayz SA to be a failure

    I guess i'm the only one who enjoys 200+ vehicles. I find it really boring when finding a vehicle is the highlight of your stay on the server. Back in the early days where when you saw a guy on a bike you saw the grail... those were dark times.

    I wish I spawned with a...

    A tricycle. I can see it now.... riding past a bandit camp, honking the horn as I tear through the undergrowth wildly. The bandits reach for their weapons as hundreds of zombies descend upon their unfortunate souls.

    DayZ Scenario: Would You Kill or Help

    Let me rephrase the situation: You're walking through Cherno, when you hear a voice from an alleyway. A guy with broken legs promises you a ghillie, gps, random weapon, and possibly a DMR. Do you leave him, shoot him, or help him. Help a citizen, make bank, walk away with a happy feeling in your heart and some good gear on your back.

    A little story...

    Krullboll, what a guy!
  7. Bandits are the ones who make DayZ worth playing. They're the ones who'll engage in firefights with me that might last an hour if I have gear they want. Cowards are the ones who are just disgruntled DayZ players, who can't seem to handle the fact that they're going to die. The ones who lost items one too many times and decided to become worse than what they hated. They'll try to kill you, and when they fail they combat log the second a bullet lands nearby.

    New weapons that aren't the AS50? Nice. Well then.

    Script Restriction #41 Problem

    Could you list what you mean by "both of the fixes" so we know what you've tried and have not tried? I don't know anything about any "fixes", only a short term solution/work around you must repeat every time you shut the game down. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/109782-dayz-script-restriction-41-bug-fix/ This is the method I use, although recently i've been playing servers that don't have the script restriction problem (or at least not restrictions involving in-game skins). They're not too hard to find,

    Tell me your stupidest death stories...

    Buddy of mine was pretending he lost control of our Littlebird. Then his wireless mouse died while we were over water. Bottom of the ocean in ten seconds flat. I'm told you could see the fireball from the beach.
  11. I get close while remaining undetected, alerting my comrades to their position. Then I walk out and say hi.

    Does this always kill choppers?

    My friends and I once landed a Huey on the roof of the International Hotel after a long night of refueling and looking for the final piece of windscreen glass. Littlepip's reasoning was the only place you see the chopper from was the top of Cherno hill. The very same place where people camp with high powered sniper rifles, looking to ruin somebody's day. I wasn't very surprised with what I came back to the next day. Also, the guy below me knows what he's talking about.

    The dumbest/funniest things you've seen in DayZ?

    It's not my funniest, but it's my shortest. Littlepip and I were refueling our hatchback that had found with our little bird. A third friend we'll call AJ was going into the gas station to check for supplies, when Littlepip decides to toss a frag grenade at the gas station, but not before warning AJ. The frag sails from Littlepip's hand, landing as AJ turns to run. AJ made it a solid seven feet away from the gas station before the explosion. So did the grenade, which had bounced off the windowsill and landed completely not in the gas station. We're still scraping bits of him off the floor.

    Where do you find ghillies?

    I've found seven or eight Ghillie suits. They were all in churches, or these odd red brick buildings with an arch over the front doorway.

    Dayz: Your Code of Conduct

    1) Find a hatchet and a backpack big enough to hold a gun 2) Find gun for bandit encounters 3) Meet up with Littlepip and her entourage 4) Hunt bandits or find a vehicle. Whichever comes first.

    Some people...

    So let me get this straight, people are stealing from your backpack, but you didn't take anything from theirs? On top of that, you've got people who are demanding you drop your weapon or they'll shoot, and you let one of them get behind you? Or even close enough to open your backpack? I'm a little confused at the moment.

    Want to play on my laptop Dayz

    This. You would be surprised at how many random services are messing with your CPU if you don't stop them. As for in-game settings what Phooey says is also true. Some settings change which part of your computer they're relying on as you change them around.

    Poll of best mid range weapon

    Didn't expect so many people to choose M14 AIM. That beautiful instrument is my weapon of choice in Operation Arrowhead.
  19. The problem I have with being a lone wolf is the same one you have with grouping up: it gets rather boring. I'd much rather spend my time talking and laughing with my friends while scavenging Chernarus than crawling through the muck on my stomach, terrified of getting shot. Not that I would be, because I couldn't care less about what gear I have. The hatchet is my weapon of choice against zombies, and I usually have some sort of bullet tossing weapon in my backpack for bandits. What that weapon is is usually a toss up because it doesn't matter to me. I don't like the aesthetics of the Ghillie suit, and I can turn my brightness and gamma up if it begins to get dark. Bigger backpacks can be found in pretty much any grocery store. And there are a few vehicle spawns that nobody ever seems to visit or at least spend the effort repairing. The only problem with dying is the long walk it takes to get anywhere, and the problem with clans is that they usually don't have an end game beyond amassing gear. I play with a group of 4-8, and we devote our time to hunting bandits and ferrying fresh spawns and heroes around while hunting bandits. It's rather fulfilling, and we never worry about the gear we have. It doesn't take a high powered rifle to kill a bandit.

    Why do Clans train?

    They train to get better. I never saw any reason behind training, or maybe it's just that I wouldn't put that much time into any game. But there have been a few times where i've wished the people around me took the time to familiarize themselves with a gun before we went out hunting bandits, even if I never do. Especially if they're supposed to be the counter-sniper and miss every bullet in the twenty bullet magazine.

    Should i play now?

    To be honest it depends completely on your monetary situation. I would say sure you should buy it, if it doesn't affect your ability to buy standalone. Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead are both amazing games and worth the $30. Arma also has some pretty nice mods aside from DayZ, as well as amazing player-made game modes that don't require any modding at all. But if you're only interested in DayZ then wait for standalone.

    Car Jacking Story!!

    Nice one. By camo jeep i'm guessing its the military offroad. It's a pretty solid vehicle. A great catch, especially when stealing from bandits. My group has an end game goal of starting a taxi service in DayZ. Then I tried performing a tailstand in the chopper.

    1.7.5 - Cows will now run for their lives

    Our hearts go out to all the starving wolves, brave enough to live off the land on their own. And to the cow population, which is about to be wiped off the face of the earth.
  24. 1. Clothes. I'm going to wear all of the clothing at the same time. 2. Bandits. I am going to fight all of the bandits in the Wasteland, and bloodbag of all of the defenseless bambis. 3. Underground bunkers. Mine will be entirely encased in pink.

    So they promised they were not bandits but...

    It's actually very easy to get an accidental bandit skin. My friends and I used to play with three guys who would kill passing bambis on sight. We concocted a plan to bring an end to their terrorizing ways but before we could put it into action my friend accidently killed them anyway. Did it work out in the end? No. My friend, despite having the hero skin, ended up as a bandit. The three he killed had never actually attained the bandit skin despite having killed around ten heroes/fresh spawns. From what I can tell the main methods of regaining humanity is blood bagging other players or killing bandits. Both methods are easy enough if you play with people you know but get substantially harder if you play alone. Somebody who kills a few people in self defense would find himself in a bandit skin pretty quickly. He's going to have a tough time getting rid of it if everybody shoots said player on sight. EDIT: I see. So being a loner and forced into a bandit wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen. Thank you for the clarification. V V V
