Cap'n (DayZ)

While it may have seemed like a good idea at the start, it quickly went south for me. I was looting the Beree=zino industrial, and I was on high alert after hearing G17 rounds near Khelm. Then, I hear a heli approaching. What went from observation turned into a full fledge ambush. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuKnIwjG0lE As you can see, things go south pretty fast after I catch agro(how I did, I will never know). It was a fun ten minutes, and I needed a good dose of action to enhance my otherwise stagnant day of DayZ.

I'm much better at stealth and ambush than straight up firefights. My aim is pretty subpar, and I had to choose between the Mi17 or the guys at the little bird. I should have tried to go around Khelm, then ambush them from the Northern treeline.

How did they bring this old fossil back to life?

lol, I know. I raged pretty hard, I might have gotten out alive if he hadn't seen me.

Oh, thanks. Doubt it'll get many views anyways...

This should be posted in the gallery, m8

I feel bad for Rocket. He has to please these people.

*sniff, sniff* I smell us some Intel fanboys, gentleman. I've had a 8350 for almost a year now, and it is actually a very good CPU. When not recording, you'll be about 5-6 frames below the 3570k on average(I'm using a friend of mine as an example, he has a 3570k and a 660 ti). I've got a 7870, so my video card is pretty well suited for this game. I've found that 8350's strong suit is when recording, you get better frames and the videos even take a shorter time to download. Probably because it's an 8 core. So if you want to be a streamer, go with the 8350 over an 3570.

Alright, hopefully they are nice enough to add the traditional CDF uniform. I'll enlist my army of nubz, and we shall all dress in the Soviet paratroop flora pattern(lol, I'm an arma nerd to the max), and will run around hip firing and throwing grenades.

I've been here five months longer than him and he's already surpassed me. I wonder if he has a life...

I'm tired of those reddit bitches stealing our rocket and doing nothing constructive. I saw we move everything to the official DayZ forum. After all, it is the reddit whores fault that the community cans were removed(then added again, suck it bitches!).

Alright ladies, let me tell you about Zelenogorsk. Although it may not have the most loot variety within itself, it's what you find on the journey that counts. Say you spawn in Kamenka, Komarovo, or Balota. You can get industrial, military, and medical loot in one run. Some may run to cherno, but the smart ones run north. Where you may ask? Zelenogork, of course! On the way up are bout 5-6 deerstands, 10-15 barns, and a supermarket in the town. Go up to Green mountain and you got several vehicle and military spawns. head up to Pustoshka and you got a supermarket and the absolute best fucking place to refuel, period. And if you have real balls, you'll go wing Vybor and NWAF. After that, you can go pretty much anywhere. That's my preferred loot run, and it should be yours too. What nare your thoughts?

Okay, so I've been seeing people throw this term around a lot. When you're having an argument, discussion, or pretty much anything involving the mod, people like to separate the community. For example, proponents of 1st only claim that they are the "true" hardcore fans of DayZ. So...who entitled you to that? We're playing the same game here, 1st only or not, Veteran or not, it's the same game. It's like saying you're the master race of Christianity because you're Catholic. Just because you prefer something else doesn't entitle you to be considered superior to others, it's just your opinion and your preference. I hate to bring 1st vs 3rd into it, and it may not be the only example of this mindset, but it's the best one and most relevant to our current conundrum. I'm just not too fond of this attitude. I'm not any better than you because I prefer 3rd, I just have different tastes. I might be in the minority, but that doesn't give you any right to regard yourself as better than me. FYI, Rocket isn't making your game, he's making his game. As much as we may try to recommend(or demand), it's still his project and he does as he pleases. So you may be regarded by your inner circle of buddies on this forum as the "master race", but the people who really count don't give two shits about how you feel. That's just my two cents, m8

Still, I think the whole Western strip is really unpopulated until you get up to Rogovo. From there up, when you're anywhere within 2km of NWAF, you're shure to find someone. But it's a really good run if you spawn Balota, Komarovo, Kamenka, and even Cherno.

I've created a monster. An ugly, disfigured, non factual argument fueling monster. time to abort this thread! Deploy flares, pull up! Pull up dammit! EJECT!

Oh you sillies. You forget, I am judge, jury and executioner. Why? Because I apply my moral code to the game. Too serious? Too bad, m8

yeah...spawning with uber gear isn't hardcore. kinda the entire point of my post...m8

Well...Just know that the way people perceive you may shape your situation. If you become infamous, I know many people that enjoy a good bounty. Friendly or not, when word spreads people start looking. Keep up the act and people may start pointing fingers. process of elimination. You may be found and you will face a fight. Question is, how will you play this game? Good or bad, the kind of guy who bandages newspawns or shoots them? You decide, but your fate may be changed by it. just know, if I ever find you in my sights...hesitation is the last thing on my mind. So think about it. pretty soon, YOU may be the one in the scope.

have you crawled with a broken leg 7km with an infection all the way to balota med tents, killing several bandits with a Makarov that has only one magazine? in 2nd person? you ain't that hardcore bru

I just think that servers that force you to PvP(not all veteran servers) aren't reinforcing positive social interactions. I don't want to spawn with a DMR and go around shooting people, I'd much rather work my way up the ladder along others. And when you spawn with gear, there is less of an incentive to be friendly because survival doesn't mean much when you spawn back with good gear. I might not have made my meaning clear, and not all veteran serves must force you to play like that. Also, I feel like some people are in it for PvP and PvP only. that doesn't really leave much else to be achieved, eh?

Also, the hand models suck ATM. Admit it for once, because no one ever does. Why? Overzealous 1st only fanboys, that's why :P

I'm just saying, no matter what you or others label yourself, it doesn't entitle you to anything. I don't understand why people think that I'm a cod kiddie and want this game to be super easy because of third person. No, I just want third person to remain in the game. Anything else goes, m8.

I wish this argument never came up. Hopefully Rocket doesn't actually listen, otherwise I'll find it hard to enjoy the game. Sucks, but I guess people are more interested in forcing others to play their way instead of giving us options.

Everyone's made some pretty good points, but I still feel like people who call themselves hardcore think they're entitled to special treatment. I may play Vanilla, but I'd much rather play in 3rd person and fuck around with my buddies in Skype. Is there anything wrong with that? It may be causal, but it's how I enjoy the game and I don't want to be punished for that. Running around the map, finding loot, fighting bandits, and having a good laugh can and is casual. I don't play on 1st only, 0 vehicle, all viral hardcore rape PvP fest because I enjoy positive interactions and social ones too. I shouldn't be punished for playing on settings above low, using 3rd, and not killing on sight. but some people want it like that and I don't agree with them.

So...why can't there just be 3rd person enabled servers and 1st person only servers? I don't understand, I feel like most 1st advocates are just hell bent on making everyone play their way. Play a fucking 1st only server if you feel so inclined. Rocket's already discussing pretty plausible ways to fix 3rd's exploits. So...why is there even an argument? Are you just sadists who want us to play like you? If so, I've lost faith in our community. Also, I'm going to kill Dyslecxi and whoever brought this up. They've torn apart our community and stirred a scourge of people who can't stand for reasonable compromise.
