Cap'n (DayZ)

Welcome, friend. A good sum of DayZ players are people who've seen videos on youtube and decided to buy an entire new PC, just to play this game. You'll get accustomed to controls within a week or two. I look forward to hearing your stories of vanquishing bandits and eating beans, huzzah!.

I use one of two methods. I either clear out a town from a few hundred meters away with a scoped rifle(usually CZ550, I find lots of them), or sneak around them. If I do aggro, I'll try to avoid them and break LOS. The best method against zombies is stealth, as just running into town ignoring every aggroed mother f'er in town is either pure stupid or naive new player syndrome.

The only thing I use for night is flares. And I don't think I've ever gotten shot at night whilst running around with them. And I play on a full server. Plus, flares are what make this game great.

My best moment was my finding my very first truck. I was just floating about Mogilevka trying to find a friend who was overlaying coordinates to me on Skype. I was fairly new, it was my third week of playing the mod. Me and him were set to raid the NE airfield, as there was a lesser chance of bandits there and we had a lot of time to spend. So I fixed the truck up, and I giggled over Skype that we had a "sweet new ride". After picking him up, me and him traversed almost the entire map on one of the most enjoyable road trips I've had yet. We met a few people, some friendly, some not. But the fun of it was getting to know the map, and the adventure of not knowing where I was or where I was headed.

I'm pretty serious about this myself. Sometimes I like to goof off and have some lighthearted fun, but thats not very often. I play on a hive where me and three other guys are the only people not in a clan. I've met all of them, and we've agreed not to kill each other and work together if need be. You see, both of the two clans on my server KoS everyone regardless of where they side. So I have to be extra alert, because theres a good eighty percent chance that the guy I run into is going to paint a mosiac with my brain matter. So, I enjoy this game but take it seriously at the same time. I enjoy it for the intensity it provides and the tactical thinking that is needed to survive.

I'm usually packing an AKM, so its my perferred weaon of choice. I've found it to be moderately accurate out to about 300m. Anything past that, and I use a CZ550. Its a accurate and common hunting rifle with easily found ammo. For zombies, I use either a hatchet or a M1911. SInce I can convert revolver ammunition into M1911 magazines, I find it to be one of the better handguns.

So, I was just curious what everyone's favorite ride is. Since I'm not a loot hoarder, nor aspire to be, I've only had a few chances to ride around. My favorite car is the Toyota Tacoma. Its fast, good for loners like me, carries a lot of gear, and has a smooth ride.

Great story, but I'm low on the beans.

DayZ is what you make of it. You shouldn't complain about how people play it.

I would like to scold the eyes of my enemies with flares, but that just ain't happening. So, realism is good but bad when overdone. Think FC2 weapon jamming. I don't think I could go for more than half an hour without my gun jamming up.

Deathmatch is no good without...ROADFLARES.

Doesn't the lonely necrophiliac get some support? Come on people, NOMMER OF CORPSES NOW! Your vote counts!

Nommer of Corpses. Mostly because I enjoy necrophilia.

Well, I was a disgruntled former console gamer trying out PC gaming. After buying a mediocre rig, I spent most of my time playing BF3 and Far Cry 2(I love Far Cry 2 :L). Anyways, back in early summer I was introduced to ArmA 2(through none other than CHKilroy). After strolling through some various vids, I came across a few marked "DayZ", or "DayZ Mod". I was curious, and decided to try it myself. At first, I was unsure of what to do. I'd only breezed through the campaign and messed around with cows and tractors within the mission editor, so I was unaware of many things. But the mod began to grow on me. Even to this day, I get fun out of it. I learned that this isn't a linear, movie style attraction ride with a copy and paste multiplayer. This is your story. DayZ is what you want it to be, and you have no limits to where you can go or what you can do. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game more than this, I I'm not going to quit on it any time soon.

What part of it? Making fun of someone who has a condition they can't help, or the strange phobias we've all described in gleaming detail. Or both?

I don't think its an actual phobia, but nothing scares me more than getting my throat slit. Its been like this for all I can remeber, and I get very nervous if anything sharp gets near my head. While I'm shure people don't take pleasure in throat slitting(unless you're an Indonesian headhunter), its something I obsess over. It kind of ruined Dishonored for me, because I remebered slitting the neck of one of the Pendelton twins in the whore shack. I didn't play the game for days. But OP, you shouldn't worry too much about the vomiting animations. I doubt they'll make it into the game, and it'll probably be some kind of hacking/rough coughing noise. But if throat slitting is implemented, I doubt I'll be playing this game anymore.

Its suprising how many people don't actually keep their guns in safes. We keep my shooting team 12 gauge in my closet, and all the other guns in my fathers room. But I like the idea of guns safes, but to be fair the loot should be of a higher grade than what you usually find laying around.

That was rather...touching. Excuse me while I sob in the corner.

I was riding around in my tractor a bit east of Vybor on a dirt road, when someone flying a biplane tried to hit me. They were flying low, about seven or eight feet off the ground. Whilst I braced for impact, the plane hit my tractor. The plane went flying backwards, hit the ground, and went into flames. My tractor went from all yellow/green, to mostly yellow with an orange hull. I get out of the tractor, and my legs are broken. To say the least, I was baffled at what happened.

I don't like the workshop idea at all. I can fit a rifle scope on and off my .22 within seconds, without any assistance of tools whatsoever. I also think some of the attachments should be weapon specific, and that every weapon in the game should spawn without any attachments leaving you to go find them yourself.

My rig? Ermkay here you go. Intel core i3 3220 Nvidia Geforce GTX-550 Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200 rpm hard drive Asus motherboard Corsair "enhanced" gaming memory, 6gb I run the game on mostly low settings, at okay frames. I average 20-35 outside cities, and it can float around 15-20 inside the larger cities. I'm planning on building an entire new PC from the ground up, and my planned build will probably net me high settings.

DayZ +. I just enjoy that zombies are more dangerous, and that we aren't tripping over NATO weapons at every military base. I've actually enjoyed some of the new AK variants, and have been training with them in ARMA editor in case I do run into PvP. Vanilla is actually an equal to +, as its pretty much the same thing but with wimpier zombies and more...ugh...NATO weapons. I don't like 2017. At all. I call bull to the whole "three weapons in the entire game" crap, and I don't think the world would be in that much of a shitpile in five freaking years. Twenty? Maybe, but thats still a stretch. But I like that survival has been emphasized over the other two, but it gets boring fast.

Its pretty easy to zero a rifle. Some people who have never had to zero a gun think its rocket science, but its not. Its just trial and error until the sights are alligned correctly with the point of impact at a certain range(say 300 meters).

I want to tape my AK magazines together, so I can have faster reloads and my magazines are bundled into a single item(lets say the magazines taped together). And opticals sights, they don't always fit to rails or certain gun mounts. The Kobra sight could be for the AK series rifles only, and so is the PSO scope. This would bring an advantage to rifles with rail systems, as they can fit a higher variety of optical sights and attachments. I would also like to see alot of the rifles from the RH AK weapons pack. Search it up on Armaholic, it would fit DayZ very well.

I don't think I can unsee Dean in a motion capture suit raping the black pillow...
