Cap'n (DayZ)

Are you one of the lucky bastards pulled to test the game?

Utes should have its own loot, right? There are plenty of military structures and a few houses. Players on Utes may have better weapons but would have more trouble finding food, so they'd have to take annual trips to the mainland by either swimming or by boat.

Wait, are servers going to become separated over players who live on Chernarus and players who live on Utes? Utes may not be huge, but it shure ain't a small map. I might even move there myself, see if I can clear out all the zombies and make it a safe zone. Anyone else share similar plans?

I turned down a DMR for a CZ550. I'd rather use something that needed skill, not a long range bullet spammer. I hope the standalone has something to counteract the effectiveness of sniper rifles at all ranges, to maker a fairer playing ground for those of us who choose not to snipe.

With the PS4 and Xbox 720(probably) coming out this year, there is going to be a big push for game developers to either port or create entire new games for the new platforms. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that the PS4 will be running on a AMD APU with a 6670 SLI'ed with the APU's integrated graphics. That would run the mod in its current state on low to mid settings, but the standalone will be better optimized. So, could we be seeing a possible console port for the next gen platforms? How do you think this would affect the community, or the game itself?

Well, I was just messing about somewhere near Skalka when I spot a player going into a building. Seeing that he is unarmed, I approach him into the open and yell over direct chat "Hey man, I'm friendly,". No reply. Not even over side chat. We sit there staring at eachother for about ten or fifteen seconds, and he breaks into sprint. I follow him, and he runs into a house. I wait outside, as I recognize it only has one entrance. I sit and wait, and he comes out with a hatchet. I yell at him "Whoa man, put it away!". No reply. I lift my Makarov from the "at ease" position, and he yells over DC "HERE'S JOHNNY!". I back up, and empty a magazine of six into his torso. He's bleeding, but he doesn't give up. He hits me once whilst I reload, and I break into a sprint. There he is, in hot pursuit. I exchange my magazine for a full one with eight rounds, and empty all eight, no shots missed. Yet he is still alive. The moment the animation for reload begins, he charges ahead and brings a swift blow down on my head. So, lesson learned, the Makarov is more of a nerf gun than an actual firearm. And on a more serious note, all of the pistols deserve a serious damage buff. I shot this guy fourteen times and he STILL killed me with a melee weapon. So, until they patch this, I recommend we all avoid the Makarov for now.

That was awesome. You need to talk to some of the guys in the dev. team, cause this blows the current crash system out of the water.

Most agree, the Makarov is unreliable. Its best use is a basic zombie repellent, even though I've seen zeds take four to five hits from hit and charge me.

All this over three dimensional item models in a video game...jeez. There are much more important matters to attend to!

I usually look for the spawnrate of roadflares. 40% is my minimum, and 85% spawn rate in all spawn tiers is the base rate on my current server.

I think it should be more than ArmA 2 but less than DayZ. Ten thousand would be nice, don't you think?

Yeah, I was hipfiring with the crosshair and it was very hectic, so I may have missed a shot or two. But how could he survive eight, even seven shots from a REAL pistol?

Thats the hero skin, you get it if you have high humanity. You can't kill innocents, murder many bandits, and lots and lots of blood transfusions.

Congratulations. You've just ruined my childhood.

Roadflares.

Intel. Intel. INTEL! Thats all I everr hear. You've got a nice upgrade planned, but alot of your components are shite. I'm running this on a laptop & desktop, desktop having an i3 akin to yours. I get OKAY frames at medium.

It won't let me :(

How do you get a custom member title?

They have roadflares.

Me and some friends have been having problems with a warlord/clan leader gone crazy on our server. One time, his clan kidnapped four or five people and invited us to watch as he broke their legs and fed them unarmed to zombies. He plays on and off, and I've tried to snuff him in the past. The guy ALWAYS plays in a squad, and he can't do squat in a battle. But he IS a strategic mastermind from what I've heard, so its sort of a Master Blaster affair. He's master, and his cronies are blaster. I can pay you with one of two items. A PKM w/ NV scope with three magazines on our private hive, or a SVD Camo with nine magazines. You will be operating with three others including me. Oh, and one more thing. This dudes clan, has anywhere from six to twenty active members on the server at once. So, it'll be a bloodbath. Pvt. message me if you're considering it.

It is a two hit kill I believe, but one hit has always knocked out a target. I've used it as a sort of "non-lethal" lethal rifle to take care of people I'm unsure of. I'll nail em' a second time if they're still awake, if not I'll give them some blood and an epi-pen after I've confiscated their weapons. But I usually use the AKM, as it is a very useful rifle with the most common ammunition of any high-tier rifle.

Ha, I spit on you seaweed hill campers! You cowards rely on fancy gimmicks and overpowered rifles, whilst us real men headshot you at 800 meters with a CZ550. Anything below that and the AKM is the boss of all that is mid range.

Can you answer questions? If so, why aren't cars in the base release. And another thing, I hear there will be less weapons in the alpha. Less as in only five or six guns, or about as many as there are now?

No offense, but I don't buy into social media. I'd much rather converse with close friends face to face. But I like to see stuff like this, it might pull in some new users from the eight corners of the interwebz.

Ah, another cool dude who just wants to enjoy the game. I played CoD one time...MW1 that is. I had nothing to do with the series after WaW. I'm glad to see a new player accepting of our culture and willing to share his stories of life, love, and loot. As I raise a toast of beans, huzzah!
