    Excessive military loot

    They open doors. Them walking through doors happens when you open a door right on them as they were about to open it so they close it on themselves because there's apparently no distinguishable difference between the command to open and close.

    Difficulties with game.

    I just have one thing to ask you Are you possibly playing in 1.5? Because if not, all I have for you is demeaning laughter.

    Excessive military loot

    It also has doors absolutely everywhere that lead into the giant open area where you're going to get surrounded and overpowered. So I guess it does work because people like you go "oh a vantage point better go in there," and then die because of how penetrable it is to a horde of zombies.

    Excessive military loot

    As a long time player who's gotten to use all the guns, I can tell you that I'd rather have a fancy AK-74 or M4 than an M14. M14s have their purpose, but frankly don't even really beat an AKM or Sa58 in that purpose, while M4s can come with quite the useful attachments. Hell an M14 is just a severely gimped Mk 48 as far as DayZ is concerned.

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    Previously infection was a thing that existed and was a hindrance. You didn't want to have it, but it wasn't a guaranteed death the moment another player spotted you. The huge disadvantage caused by 100% chance of dying the moment someone sees you meant it was better to suicide in a way that would let you reclaim your gear than to rush into high population zones for a chance at curing the infection. There was nothing wrong with that infection. Every change to it since has been worse than that. Lowering zombie count and making them painfully easy to lose is super casual, but are you fighting for having the old zombies that could be a threat since you could never lose them, there were 2-4 times as many spawned, and their respawn timers were so fast you could have to deal with hundreds at a time, but it was actually possible to stealth without going so slow that you were actually making it more dangerous by simply being there 10 times longer than you had to?

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    As infection currently exists, it would be better to remove it than to not touch it. Infection that brought you to 6k was already crippling enough to warrant suicide to fix it the majority of the time.
  7. In versions where it's occurring it is a consistent occurrence. You know that they are going to take 50 damage per bullet because it always acts that way. Even if it didn't if you shoot someone in the head even once and they don't die, then you know for sure that any more shots will not work and simply have to wait.
  8. Like I said earlier I'm pretty sure it was already fixed in a patch. Some 1.7.x patch a couple months ago.
  9. It's definitely related to DayZ, however I believe it was supposed to have been fixed in an update a couple months back. If you haven't noticed it in the last year then you have clearly never shot an unconscious person as it was pretty much a feature gone wrong. It was intended to make you survive zombie attacks by reducing their damage to 50, but it also did it to player fired bullets. That being said the easy workaround was simply to wait until they started getting back up and shoot them in the head during that long animation. It's really simple and if you let them get back up and shoot you then you are really bad.

    A post about the mod

    That's just factually incorrect because the Mk 48 hits as hard, only much faster and with many more bullets. (PS: Mk 48 because it is godking)

    DayZ "Vanilla" Servers

    Probably because even vanilla vehicle spawns are so absurdly everywhere that there isn't much difference between that and 500 besides there's no variety in what kind of car you might have. I also have played on US3480. It was a good server, but we found so many vehicles we purposefully destroyed some and other times because the server moved their position into a spot that it was required, see:

    [SA] Starvation

    Drinking only soda really isn't that bad. Most days of the last ~9 years I've had only soda and it hasn't caused problems outside of headaches when I don't drink it yet.

    [SA] Starvation

    I have a suggestion: Go try Namalsk. Namalsk is a mod where food only spawns in one city in the map.

    Assault Rifle Question

    The L85A2 Holo is arguably worse than the M4 Holo. The M4 Holo has an M203 attached while using the same sight. However if I understand the DayZ wiki correctly, it tells me the L85A2 is zeroed to 500 meters instead of the M4's 300... Personally I prefer the M4A3 CCO because of its flashlight and I cannot stand the Holo sight, but love the EP1.
  16. These aren't bizons What happened in the last 6 months I can't find bizons anywhere
  17. Castle (DayZ)

    Where'd all the bizons go

    Implying the Bizon wasn't pretty much the best gun around for people who weren't trying to snipe dudes. rocket y u ruin dayz prs 2 return 150% bizon chance at hericapter
  18. Find a server without it.
  19. Saying "Don't get attached to your gear" is a suggestion or an order. If that's what your previous points were there to support (the "facts" that I did not say anything against), then why did you tell me you weren't making a suggestion?
  20. The sentence I quoted says a very different thing than the rest of the post. If that was meant to be a summary, I advise you to go learn what the words you used mean.
  21. Castle (DayZ)

    Is there anyway to check your humanity?

    Gotcha anti-hack is not nearly that good. Shit gets through it all the time, and it once kicked one of my friends for godmode seconds after he was killed.
  22. I responded to one particular sentence, not the rest. Note what I quoted, read it again, and think about how stupid this response is.
  23. This is a really stupid suggestion and I don't know why everyone has said it over and over again for the last 7 months. If you aren't attached to your gear, then you lose out on 99% of the fun in DayZ. It's hard to be attached to your life, you just respawn so who cares if you die? Your stuff is all there is to be attached to, and that's why you survive, that's why you get the adrenaline in dangerous situations, that's why you might instantly gun down a guy you see when you're looting Stary Sobor and someone else comes to do the same etc.
  24. Really? It was only 15 hours ago I had a fully green huey get shot at and have one of the windows damaged start leaking fuel. I landed the helicopter and turned the engine off to check.
