Con....gratulations?Why post then? I'm intrigued as to why exactly you are here if you can't even read a few short paragraphs, this is a forum. Most of your posts are TL,DR, are you even literate?

I'd be pretty surprised if you hadn't said something to that effect honestly....

Here is mine: The other day, I had just fresh spawned after being killed. 2800 humanity on this server (a public/private hive of sorts). I spawn in on a lucky elektro spawn, so I run for the elongated brown barn that is right next to me. I suddenly become the target of an axeman with an eye for freshly spawned blood. So, he runs behind me for hell, 15 minutes? I zig, I zag, and I finally lose him long enough to grab and equip the hatchet I eyed a few times in the barn we were playing cat and mouse around. We then proceed to have an epic standoff between the two of us, involving a shit-ton of Shift, W, A, S, D, and a few quite enthused zombies. I decide that this will go on for way too long, so I book for it, and employ a risky tactic. He follows my plan exactly how I hope. He runs after me like the arrogant, bloodthirsty troll he is. I manage to put about 10-15m between me and him, just enough time... I run out the large door, flip 180 degrees around, and dice him the second he emerges from the door. Boom, right to the chest, one hitter knockout. As he lies on the floor, I put him out of him hourglass misery with three more swings. I proceed to steal his bandages, backpack his painkillers, and head on my way. I leave his body there for the zombies to eat, and the bambis to fear.

\They don't tape it, lol.Most likely examples of taping would be the taping of one magazine to the other, or the taping of a flashlight.

I gave you my beans for your last meal, but it seems I was too late...R.I.P Inception... Anyone find his bean stash yet? I have heard rumors of a Bean Map, are the legends of the Mountain of Mod beans true?

They are a buggy bunch, I pray that it is handled in the SA. Cans can teleport through walls, as long as they don't have funny names... because that would break immersion. -edit, that was sarcasm.

What if I log in and get him to commit suicide? I wanna go double-down on that one. <3

SON OF A WHOREMONGER! Has been suggested several times, not saying you are, but many have been the CoD "Tomahawking" freaks. All I have to say on this topic... What the fuck are you going to do when you hit them with the handle?

I wasn't saying they have no legitimate use, un-derp. Was merely providing information.I just do not think that drugs can add any legitimate effect to the game honestly. What can hardcore drugs do for you IRL? Nothing. Morphine and Painkillers (kinda generic talk for Acetaminophen/Hydrocordone ) are already in game, and that is about as much as we need IMHO. Just my opinion. This is a MMORPGFPS Zombie Survival sim, that has revolutionized so many things in gaming... I'd rather not see it turn into "Grand Theft Auto" or "Scarface: The World is Yours". Only other drugs I can think of having some use is possibly pills that promote coagulation, or possibly, if sleep is necessary in the Standalone, some kind of energy pills. Any further, and in my person opinion it becomes detrimental.

You are most likely SOL, sorry for the abruptness. Tents are very buggy. Don't get gear attached, trust me.

Not true. lol. Drugs can yes, make you run faster, but it is not the drugs themselves... It is the motivation to get the fuck away from the guy with the cuffs and the taser chasing you, that gives you that extra boost. You think you're gonna snort some coke or shoot some heroin, and then run a a shuttle run in record time? Hell yeah, if you have a guy chasing you with a pair of cuffs and a gun that just saw you do that drug. Then you will collapse from multiple organ failure and/or a heart attack.

All (almost) would be solved with that trajectory line idea. having it fade after 3-4m and becoming invisible at 5-6m would be perfect.Edit- Knowing the trajectory, knowing aprox. distance, but not knowing the land location. Something like this: http://l1.yimg.com/b...ts-Golf-3-a.jpg but the line would fade after a few meters.

Just shot a guy with one not an hour ago with my DMR from 400m. He was in a field doing god knows what, up North probably 1000m West of Stary. Unfourtunatly, he did not die (headshot ended up being couple inches below and turned into a shoulder shot), and did not go down (lucky one). He proceeded to do what many a player in DayZ love to do when they are gear obsessed, COMBAT LOGGED... rofl. I never got to pick up the prized item, and my reward was 1 less bullet. Not a CLUE where he got the damn thing. Oh well, I'll find the elusive 'chete soon enough.

I have never once had a problem throwing inside buildings in A2 or A2: OA. With more than one floor? Forget it. What I'm thinking is that in the programming somewhere, floor levels aren't static things to thrown items, thus they pass right through them, and even teleport around. Therefore, someone needs to program in floors of structures the same as the ground outside, a static surface to thrown items, possibly even more. The A2 engine is fairly old, hopefully with the release of A3 and DZ-SA, items that are thrown will stop acting like, well, just things... and have some immersion. If some asshole is throwing a tin can at my head, I wanna see that tin can spinning in the air, hear it hit next to me, and have it bounce off the ground and become a static item till it is picked up again (with a time limit on it of course, to avoid massive sever lag from item pile up). Not have it fly in the air and remain VERTICAL, hear a *tink*, and have it pass through the ground into... well... God fucking knows where. The bowels of the DayZ codex, perhaps? That is just me. Clearly this will be a problem to some: "It'll be a game breaker I tell ya'!" "This game is gonna turn into CoD!" "Bouncable items? What a ridiculous concept! This is as gamebreaking as a variety of ridiculous food names! *ragequit*"

Title sums it up quite well. Have stuck it out with the public community since, well, close to day 1, and I'm officially done with its bullshit. By all means, this isn't me ranting or raving or complaining my little sob story, this is just the reason why I'm done with Public. As many of you that play or have played public will obviously know, skiddies are a real issue. They ruin survival streaks, destroy immersion, and well, put a damper on your fun. As many of you say to the newbies and frustrated players, get the fuck over it and respawn. Well, I do every time. Of course there is disappointment when you lose your hard or luckily earned full gear-out to one of the many scripts there are out there, but there are plenty of more opportunities to get it back, so respawn and enjoy. But, at a certain point you just lose faith. Mine came today when I was looting Cherno. Minding my own business in my usual public, regular, high pop, history of hacks server. I enter the firestation. Been sneaking awhile with no problems. I pick up an M1014 and a few pellet mags for it. All of a sudden, I see some guy in aviators, camo clothing, and holding an AK-74 on the roof next to me. I had made the mistake of not checking it first.... oops. But he doesn't notice me in the tower, so I aim down the sights, peek to the right to get vantage, and say "Dude, drop the AK and walk away, and I will leave" over direct. He turns towards me, and says, "Shut your fucking mouth, beyotch", so I fire 3 shells right into his face point blank 5m away. Nothing. I run downstairs, he shoots, misses. I decide that I must have not hit, somehow. And that I'll take this guy out. I exit, leave, and come back. I climb the ladder and sneak up on him... 4m away MAX, fire 5 shots. He turns, laughs over side chat, salutes, and pumps a mag into my head full auto. I promptly exited the server and LOL'ed. I'm no stranger to Whitelists and Private Hives, but now they are my main way of playing. RIP public... You will not be missed.

Read the post before throwing around 'learn to play' insults.I have no problem throwing, It is the throwign system and glitches with it that I have the problem with. If you have not had any problems with it, then that is you, kudos. If you have nothing to positivly contribute, kindly remove yourself from this thread and don't post. See you in Chernarus.

Lmfao

Run through Razer?

I have been as well, but I (formerly) played publics at the same time. I'd play an hour or so on a Private, then switch over to my guy on Public and check things out. My playstyle on both are also different, I'm much more risky on Publics. you could say I played them for the thrill. Now? Every other person you run into is a skiddie. Don't get me mistaken, I'm quite a serious player, and love this game. I don't ever think the public hives will be fixed on the mod. It is truly sad, since they used to be so fun.

I run an i5 3550P with a 1GB GTX 650 and I hit 30-40 FPS in Cherno and elektro with everything maxed. 5k view, Normal Shadows, Post Process off, Vsync off, antialising off. You should be running better than me, much better.

Someone mentioning a Mac on a forum of a demanding game?.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop where you are... Long live Windows!

Well, another problem presents itself with this survey. Ever noticed how people will create fake accounts for things? Well, you get where I'm coming from.

Many of the servers I have been playing are 1.7.6 Not sure if you are having problems play, as you never mention any, but if you are, then: Download 1.7.6 on DayZ commander and make sure everything is updated. Make sure your installed DayZ version matches the version of the server. Ergo: you cannot play a 1.7.6.1 server if you have 1.7.6 installed. Should fix it. If not, try a PC restart and then install the version again. Many server admins play on different versions, or don't update immediately. Not a big issue. P.S, you have bought both A2 and A2: OA right? And have ran both? Just checking.

In a game, decisions are never based on emotions in AI, and usually never based on emotions in players. Who is gonna freak out that their best friend Billy Bob just got shot in the face and freeze in place in a video game? Not anyone. Unless you are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too into the game.
