Craziest Thing You've Done in Day Z
Julia_Shafer replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well there was one time when I repaired a car in the middle of stary, or driving through elektro when we got board. Prolly the dumbest thing ive done is run into cherno with NVGs and gillie looking for morphine. Thank god I made it out alive. -
What I Personally Think Dayz Needs a bit more of.
Julia_Shafer replied to sgtjk69's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
What im hoping for is in the future having another map or even a dedicated day z map filled with cities. That would lead to speculation to why your in chanarus. -
Fully populated night servers / More NVGs
Julia_Shafer replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
no I want to find them mostly in air control towers. Two pairs at a low spawn rate. -
only thing I hate is getting killed when I have nothing, because thats what happens to me at least. Spawn in, look for loot, find nothing but a shotgun in the face.

The ONLY Realistic Way to Prevent Deathmatching: Make DayZ a Living Hell
Julia_Shafer replied to Time Glitch's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Or not... I like the whole surviving the elements thing, but the rest is flawed. Like stated before there will be more murders. Chances are 2 groups wont join up. Its a god damn game, and its not like the brain knows it is! We wont act ever how we would act in real life because its a game. Maybe a select few would try it, but because the majority doesn't they will stick to their "boom sticks". Here is my vision if I was making day z. Take the idea of roaming zombies, but in the country side where the zeds would be (if next to a city) then the city would have less, as they would have to come from somewhere. Also the zombies right now are to much of a pain in the ass. Because of the way the games set up, and chances are all you will find are tin cans looting is a bitch, and all that will happen is you will aggro those NFL runner zombies. They need to be slower, if a zombie attack like this happened in the US or all over the world the infected wouldn't run as fast as they do in Day z. Maybe some would (for the infected that are in shape) but look at how many over weight people there are in the world. They would prolly try to run and fall over themselves. This would also make the ability to get away a tad bit easier if you can out run some of them, then give the slip to the others. I vote a faster rate of spawn, or a lower rate of spawn for tin cans and a higher rate of spawn for other stuff (yet slower then it is now). Also common supplies that we seem to never find in Day z. A watch (even though ive seen 6 in a city), a compass, matches, and most importantly a map. In many houses in the US/world you will find these basic survival tools. Back to the zombies, they are to smart, fast, and the pathing of the zombies suck, if they would run in a strait line and let us not waist our ammo I may support more of what you are saying, but at the current zombie intelligence I cant support any of it. -
it only gets hard when you have the best loot (some of the best) in the game. For a few days while I had my stuff I never went in towns without a partner. I was forced to go into cherno for my friend who was in the same position as I was. Thank god it was night time or I would not have made it out there. Killed on wookie on the roof near the tents and saw a party of 8 ppl leaving cherno. wow was I scared.

Dumbest ways you've lost a vehicle
Julia_Shafer replied to HanOfAmerica's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
car clipped onto a tree and blew up. or my friend and I desynced and he appeared right in front of me on the motorcycle. We broke our toy... -
damn if the update only came out sooner. Got nocked over, broken legs and ate by a zombie who didnt make any noise. Lost all my stuff (gillie/nvg and so forth). Oh well.

EDIT Right when I posted I realized there was a similar post, dont ass rape me for it. So yesterday I was thinking of something that could replace the humanity meter for people who keep PKing (im guilty). What if we replaced the humanity meter with a sanity meter like in Amnesia: the dark decent. When you get more PKs you start seeing things that arnt there like a player you recently killed walking off into the distance, or maybe an aggro zombie running at you then disappearing. Only way to reverse your sanity is to not kill people for some time. Im not sure how this might work out (as if ArmA 2 engine allows it) but it was just a thought.

Coyote backpack Gillie NVG Red car MP5SD DMR had a motorcycle but because of a sync problem I ran into my friend and broke the bike) A crap ton of food and drink. 3 maps basic survival hunting tools

I think if zombies couldn't climb ladders this game would be great. Think of it this way, if zombies couldn't climb, the survivors up the ladder would be stuck up there until someone helps them out or the lob a grenade. One more way to get the community working together.

My only problem with bear traps is people are going to troll the hell out of everyone with them. I hope there will be a way to spring it if we see it.

6 DMR mags m14 EP1 Camo Clothing Essential survival gear (matches, hatchet, knife... and so on) So nothing much to sniff at. For the most part instead of hunting groups of people we are hunting choppers.

Julia_Shafer replied to Legacy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
this about bandit skins I cant get behind is I murder people occasionally because for the most part its them or me, and I usually win. So what happens if I get a bandit skin hum? It lasts forever because I defended myself or my friend? ya screw off lol. -
Silenced M4 is off the list for me as of 2 days ago. Mine would be NVGs and a damn ammo box. Had to drop my M4 because I ran out of ammo and I picked up something from a helicopter crash.

or just do what I do and go to a 25 player server, less people less chance of contact. Now I will say last night got hecktic there was about half the damn server between novy and stary shooting out. Whats funny is me and a friend caused it. We stalked these 2 people who kept throwing flares (I presumed as bait) and at about 200 meters opened fire killing one of them. The other one I put at least one into and we thought he aborted. We crawled on our hands and knees for awhile to the body and over to the left flares were popping up and a huge firefight started. All because of my friend and I. (PS. Sy I have your alice) -

POLL:What kind of person do you think YOU would become in a zombie apocalypse?
Julia_Shafer replied to richard_b's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
4 and 7 I got a Z+ on the zombie survival quiz on the mental side of things. Now the topic of US and the way we act. There are the sterotypes which europeans see on america like we see in Britain (bad teeth idea). Most think we are gun shooting rednecks (well im gun shooting just not redneck) and they think the reason crimes happen is our right to bear arms (which is false by the way). On the topic of handgun and concealed permits http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp * Florida adopted a right-to-carry law in 1987. At the time the law was passed, critics predicted increases in violence. The founder of the National Organization of Women, Betty Friedan stated: "lethal violence, even in self defense, only engenders more violence." (13) * When the law went into effect, the Dade County Police began a program to record all arrest and non arrest incidents involving concealed carry licensees. Between September of 1987 and August of 1992, Dade County recorded 4 crimes committed by licensees with firearms. None of these crimes resulted in an injury. The record keeping program was abandoned in 1992 because there were not enough incidents to justify tracking them. (13)(15) * 221,443 concealed carry licenses were issued in Florida between October of 1987 and April of 1994. During that time, Florida recorded 18 crimes committed by licensees with firearms. (15) * As of 1998, nationwide, there has been 1 recorded incident in which a permit holder shot someone following a traffic accident. The permit holder was not charged, as the grand jury ruled the shooting was in self defense. (7) * As of 1998, no permit holder has ever shot a police officer. There have been several cases in which a permit holder has protected an officer's life. (7) In general people who shoot people get the guns illegally and in general give Americans a bad name with the gun violence. sense the OP is pretty anti bandit I will make my position clear. I would be with me and possibly one or two others. If we saw someone I would stay down and watch their actions. If hostile but they dont see me I will let go, but if they see me I would shoot. If they were friendly and they saw me I would send them on their way. -
Most entertaining thing you've done in dayz?
Julia_Shafer posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
So just about an hour ago me and a buddy raided NW Air and did very well with our raid. I managed to find an M4A1 CCO with silencer and an m9 SD. My friend walked away with M4A3 CCO. Now at the end of our raiding session we looked and found something special. There just so happened to be a M136. This is the first time we have laid eyes on one and we knew what to do. It was night by now and the fun began. IDK what he shot it at, but what I do know is half a second later I was knocked out on the ground (back blast Im sure) and the zombies were all over us. I managed to get up and we stayed safe in the barracks and cleared out the zombies coming after us. It was about time we left that area so we took off out the east side toward grishino. So whats the most entertaining thing you have done in this game? -

The first kills I got were at NW air. I was on top of the control tower (looking for loot) and it was my first time I found myself there. When I attempt to leave I see 3 people crawling in the grass heading for the air tower. I lay down on the roof and tell them to leave me alone. They didnt listen. I heard the clanging of the ladder and a guys head poked up. The last thing he was was me and a shot from my revolver wizzing through his head. Then I heard the zombies, and they got swarmed below causing minor damage. I could see through the roof (some glitch idk) and he was getting a blood transfusion. After he was patched up he ventured up to his death on the ladder. His friend was not far behind. He and his friend died, but not before he put on AK shot in my back. I was low on health to begin with so I slowly bleed out. I patched myself at about 2000, and a zombie ventured up the ladder which I promptly killed, then fell over knocked out. It was then another zombie ventured up the ladder and ate me. 3 bandit kills were ticked on the side debug menu. I fought and died proud. lol

Am I the only one unable to find food?
Julia_Shafer replied to onedeaged's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
before the update I was lucky with food and water, now I struggle but its just one more thing to overcome. Hunting gear aint that hard to find, its just the matches that are harder to find. I more and more find myself spawning in Cherno east end raiding the construction site and then heading for Zub, then Stary, then NW. Maybe you should try that? -
I am usually pretty geared up, but after this update ive been screwed. To afraid to loot because zeds in buildings and no starter weapon... fun
-
after many times of this the bug fixed itself for me. Very confusing (I was not in shock either).

Confess your sins here - The worst thing you've d
Julia_Shafer replied to Maedis's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This is my first legit murder I am crawling through elektro when I hear buzzing of flies, and the kill seemed fresh. I cleared the building first, then looked at his loot. He had a few cans of food, but that was about it (like he had just spawned). Then I notice there is an abnormal lack of zeds in the area (keep in mind this is the building parallel to the balcony building in elektro. As im leaving to GTHO of there, I see someone about 30 yards away heading into the balcony building. I run back inside, and wait at a window. Turns out there is 2 people looting the building (working together). At this point my heart is pounding. I can't leave because they would end up seeing me, so I waited to take a shot. One of them walked onto the balcony looking for loot. I waited till he was taking the loot and fired on shot of my Winchester through the glass window into him. He promptly died in one hit. Now I'm scared. No zeds seemed to hear the shot, and I wait to see if I can kill his friend. After a bit I run into the building, heart still pounding to loot his body when I hear foot steps. I ran back to my building and I nearly messed up my pants. I sit at the stairs with shotgun readied for what seemed like forever. After about 10 minutes I go back into the building, and get to the balcony. Unfortunately his body was gone, but there was loot in the building. As I left I went into the connivance store thing, stole some stuff then got the hell out of elektro. As I was leaving though someone in chat asked who killed his friend on the balcony. I felt a bit bad, but I didn't care, I'm sure they woulda killed me in the same situation.
