"I feel like having a drink" ......... yeah. I would too, if I suddenly and inexplicably found myself floating in the air, 30 feet above ground.
-
yessir..... so then, on topic! OP! to answer your question, NO, I will NOT be doing the developer's diary...
-
sadly, this thread is STILL about tacos. (who the hell is the op directing the question at?) ANYway... I like tacos. but oddly enough: NOT a big fan of Doritos Locos. Sue me.

The very first kill. Do you remember yours?
crazykage replied to skoms's topic in General Discussion
had an M4. encountered a guy on the road between towns. He had a fire axe. I pulled my M4 and ADSed on him, but held fire, as I backed away from him. He pulled his axe. Stood his ground for a few moments. I continued to hold my fire, backing away. He YOLO charged me, running towards me and slightly to my right. I panicked and missed as he got around behind me. As I turned to face him, he was RIGHT in my face, axe at the peak of its swing when BANGBANGBANGBANG! He dropped dead. I took his pristine combat helmet. -The End. -
uhhhh... sauce for this pasta?

yes, to a certain degree. But try to understand, that once I have found a good spot, and figured out the range, I don't NEED to scout it again. I can use that spot over and over. The only reason I do the scouting on low pop is to avoid issues while getting the range with my weapon. Its kind of hard to just shoot, and do so accurately, on the fly, AND at long range, with weapon accuracy the way it is. IRL? I could absolutely do it on the fly. In a game, where perspective is skewed, along with peripherals and judging distances? Its not impossible, per se, but it is a lot harder to judge 500 meters by eyeballing it, than it is in real life. The other reason? Lag. I can deal with it to some degree if im in my sniping position, just sitting there. But while im constantly on the move? Or trying to take a series of accurate shots? Or simply trying to load my gun? Or HELL, just trying to PULL THE DAMN THING OUT! Is it really not enough that I LEAVE my "hide" (by leave, I mean I go to like, the next nearest town, in the treeline), log into a hi pop, and infiltrate back in? Im honestly asking.
-
Ah. I apologize for my misunderstanding. On a side note, I also freely admit to "spankin it", now and then...just not in down town San Francisco....

I find this perspective extremely childish. I admit, getting KoSed sucks. But I can hardly judge, as I do it too. Ghosting has NO excuse or justification. If I KNEW I was being ghosted, that there was NO DOUBT, I would clog. Ill gladly deny a cheater victory (although I doubt I will ever see that circumstance, and be %100 positive). My problem with this perspective is this: Why should you tell ME how to play a sandbox game? So you lost all your gear and I didn't say a word? Cry me a river, man. Then build a bridge. And as you are walking across it, I will snipe you in the head, and laugh as your lifeless body rag dolls over the railing and into your river of tears. I am ALL FOR player interaction, RP (or NOT roleplaying. Im not always in the mood..), and what not. But you know what? Sometimes I like to roleplay as a hunter. Ill find a good spot, scout it, do some test shots to get my range and then leave. Next, I join a hi pop server, and infiltrate back to my "hide" (I don't server hop right to my spot), and wait patiently for my prey. And when I see a fully kitted IDIOT running in the open on the road in a straight line, I put a 7.62 in his face! No warnings. No "hai, r u friendly?". No "F2! F2! HIT F2!". Nothing but the sound of my Moisin and the brief jolt of adrenaline you get as your screen turns black. Another satisfying kill. And the only interaction you will get from me is my bullet in your skull. Or chest. You know how these guns are. Such terrible spread... Now, you may ask, why I find this so satisfying...Well, theres the preparation (getting the necessary equipment, picking a spot, ranging it, getting back in on a hi pop), then the anticipation (waiting, sometimes for an hour or more, patiently for a good target), and latsly, the SATISFACTION (taking the shot, risking being discovered, possibly missing, OR getting the kill). Now lets say that YOU are that same idiot, fully geared, running out in the open, on the road, in a straight line. First, your an idiot, but travel how you like. Next, I take my shot, and miss. Fair enough, it happens. But I have more bullets, ill take anot...gone. Clogged like a coward. You Clog because you think its "unfair" to lose all your gear just because the guy wouldn't talk to you. But you just denied ME the satisfaction of having all my hard work and preparation pay out. I don't even get the satisfaction of seeing my prey successfully escape the trap, with me giving him a tip of my hat and a small nod of the head for being lucky, or smart, or just quick. OR of having the roles swap, and the hunter becoming the hunted! NO! An hour and a half wasted sitting here just to watch someone DISSAPEAR. This is a survival game. You survive. EVERYTHING. Zombies, the environment, your own stupidity, and yes, THE OTHER PLAYERS. Only the strong, smart, lucky (or all three) survive. Well, that, and cheaters... Explain to me why YOUR perspective, the way YOU play the game, is any better than ANYONE elses (that isn't cheating or using an exploit. Oh, wait. That's you...).

I have NEVER blatantly combat logged. One time I did, but I needed to be somewhere IRL, and just before I was about to log, I hear a zombie scream and a gunshot. I even stuck around for 30 seconds or so, to let things play out. But nothing else happened, and I had to go. Later, it was pointed out to me that what I heard was the volume slider in the menu, which I accidently adjusted without realizing it. So actually, yeah. I have NEVER combat logged. Seen others do it. Been killed by a ghoster. NEVER done it myself. NEVER will. EDIT: In your circumstances, if what you say is true (lag, could not pull out weapon, invisible zombie), I think you have not commited what I would call a serious offense. Especially considering the fact that it was a zombie (and an invisible one) threatening you, and not another player. So its not like you denied someone the satisfaction of the kill for successfully stalking, sneaking, ambushing, etc. you. In this circumstance, its not even clogging, IMO. Its "this is a buggy alpha, and I don't want to die to yet another fucking bug".

less M4s in a week... will everyone make a run on them?

Just read that changelog.... im drooling.... -
people need to understand that DayZ is Zombie apocalypse GAME and not PVP deathmatch
crazykage replied to gamer222's topic in General Discussion
What YOU need to understand is that this is a SANDBOX SURVIVAL game, with zombies as the backdrop for the circumstances. People can, and will, do whatever they want. If that includes shooting to kill everyone in sight, so be it. -
Suggestions for new hand gestures! Post them HERE! (no, not over there. HERE!)
crazykage posted a topic in General Discussion
Currently we have: Surrender. Wave. Taunt (the bird). Suggestions for additional gestures? Mine: *facepalm (I URGENTLY request this be done) thumbs up/down (would be useful in staging gladiatorial combat between unwilling bambis, maybe?) Shush. Military hand signals (stop, rally point, move out, double time, get down, etc.) prayer (again, useful to bandits. get a bambi to surrender, force him to his knees, and tell him to say his prayers, anyone?) that's all I got atm. -

crazykage replied to crazykage's topic in General Discussion
some good ideas thus far. I ESPECIALLY like the spock "v"! Moar? (I still REALLLLY think "facepalm" needs to be in game. Its more important than vehicles, hunting, and better zombie ai COMBINED, IMO) -
You know whats funny about this? The same 3 major animated versions of cobra commander also voiced the same respective iterations of starscream. 1980s cobra commander and star scream: same voice actor. Second animated versions of gi joe and transformers (date?): same voice actor for both commander and starscream. third versions? Also had a voice actor that did BOTH commander and starscream. ME? I ALSO can do a pretty decent version of starscream. I can also do a decent imitation of Mark Hamill's Joker from Batman: the animated series...

not all at once, no. but you could bind them when you need them. -
Changed my steam name to "CobraCommander" (was totally amazed that it wasn't already taken...). Logged in and went to balota. Found and cornered a fully geared bandit (pretty sure he was due to gear I found on him. heroes have no need of handcuffs, right? also a blood bag, probably forcibly taken) in a barracks building. Then, in my best Cobra Commander voice (1980's GIJoe version, which, if I do say so myself, I do EXTREMELY well...) I ordered him to surrender and obey me. He did. Then I questioned him, demanding to know about the Joe's plans to stop me and my weather modulator. He claimed not to know anything. So I replied that he was of no further use to me, and executed him.
