Well, at night you could surprise the hell out of anything.. whilst lighting up the area if you throw it far enough away from you. Also, dynamic entry. You clear buildings with them, light the night with them, and ensue general chaos with them. In essence, you have fun. ;) Later Zombies should be attracted to any light source, movement or sound, so yes a flashbang would be a very effective tool against zombies.

LOL, good one mate! Here is my attempt for absolution: New patch, fresh spawn in 3 valleys and make my from Cherno to Balota, Zeleno, NWAF. Im geared, fully, but seeking that new AK. I hit the tent city, and clear it of threats first before I proceed to loot it. Im almost finished, and Ive periodically stopped to scan the area for new threats. I start to loot the last of 3 tents before Im on my way North to Bashnya and the safety of the wilderness. I am looting a PSO scope, and trying to fit my 75 rd. drum so they both are on my person because I can see through the tent window that there is an AK in the next tent, its all I need.. but the PSO has to come with it. I am firing on all cylinders right now pumped with adrenaline.. ready for anything. The footsteps give my enemy away. I hear him approaching and take position and aim. I have him dead to rights, there is just no way he is getting the drop on me.. and as his head comes directly into my sights I accidentally hit escape on my mouse (its rebound to that because I use a Nostromo and in the beginning I was having to bring up my controls and settings constantly.. it was like a legacy setting that I just never changed. Now its changed though, lesson learned!). So as Im clicking fire, and my brain is telling me I am fucked because I am staring the the settings screen and my player is locked in place with his M4 pointed right at the doorway, motinoless like a fool. The player ran through the door, right up next to me, and proceeded to put about 5,000 rounds into my legs killing me rather quickly and most embarrassingly. It is one of the only times I can remember "shame-quitting" and turning the game off right then and there. I mean, I had him.. easily. And I somehow with my fat thumbs hit my side button that is not even that easy to hit with how I hold it. I mean I have to move my thumb over to be able to do it.. but I still did. And that guy had literally every piece of mil loot he could want between me and the AK he already had. Only problem was with the way he killed me, he most likely got little to nothing of use that was not ruined besides my M4. :blush:

Its because I use a Nostromo, Razor Mamba, and a keyboard. The Nostromo and its rebinding messes with things. Ive had it this way all along, so I just never caught on to it.. :P
-
Yep, great big circle of development around the map.. the center will be left as the "wild" area making Stary and Novy one of the most under-visited towns on the map.
-
Its my binding.. When I am running, and I hit my inventory key it stops me in my tracks. But Bone hit the nail for me.. I need to bind a fast forward key, and make it so its not HOLD DOWN to use it, and just TAP. Cannot believe I have played this game for 2 years and just now figured out I was missing out on that. LOL.
-
Thank you, I was assuming it had to do with that.. :)
-
I mean they should also make a couple archery ranges in the map.. ones you could walk to to practice. I'd really like that. Because you could also use it as a rifle range. :D

I want a Bigfoot mod of DayZ. Swap out Zeds for Bigfoot, and call it DayB. Either the same as DayZ now or another idea is you can start as a Man or a Bigfoot. There are both human and bigfoot AI that will not attack you if you are the same species.. but they act the same way essentially as the Zeds do now. Chase you down and melee attack you to death. Bigfoots are larger in size, more powerful, and faster. They can jump high, rip small trees out of the ground and take large amounts of damage. Humans can craft complex items and Bigfoot can only craft simple tools like fire, spears, and the like. Humans can obtain weapons that make taking down Bigfoot reasonable but the Bigfoots natural camouflage gives him the advantage in any forest. Everything is basically the same as the DayZ mod except Bigfoots. That is what I want.

Perhaps we could just attach a blank piece of paper to a tree or side of building? A note could be left, a target could be used, and other odd things could be done with it.
-
No, perhaps its my keys being rebound but No. I cannot move at all while my inventory is open. Again, I ask myself, "DUHFUKS?" :/

Grenade as a life preservation device - must read
Irish. replied to Pokerguy12's topic in Suggestions
My favorite so far is the "Xmas Present" method. You spot someone watching over an area, maybe a sniper or just someone waiting for an easy kill.. You roll up to him so as not to make a sound. You drop a grenade on top of him. Now stand up and activate it. Then run away as fast as you can while saying something like, "MERRY CHRISTMAS BRAH!" He hears you running around, makes a move while you are.. and BOOM! He dies in an instant. You simply circle back and profit. What this means for DayZ is this: More people will die an embarrassing death than before. A lot more. :) -
Really? NW of Svetlo? Damn, they just clustered the hell out of the NE corner of the map, didn't they? Oh well, time to go get shot in the back of my head while looting or playing backpack tetris! :)
-
Si, for Zee Rabbits!
-
Ok, you just gave me an idea.. I want to be able to craft my snare to my Grenade or Flashbang.. Hell, I want to make tripwires to keep people from walking into my house unannounced! ;)

once rendering is fixed you could spot heli crashes from up there ;)

Deer Stands - What Do You Want To Spawn There?
Irish. replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Now what about Barricading? What if nothing spawns there, and you can barricade yourself up there? ...hmmmmm :) -
NWAF study - Redesigning Skalitsy island travelling
Irish. replied to Pokerguy12's topic in General Discussion
Ok, Ill bite. But here is the only way I would like the idea.. Skalitsky is THE high end loot location above all others. Everything can be found there, and more often than other spawn locations. But there is just 1 little catch.. Its severely overrun with Zeds. Like so many that you most certainly will die if you go there unless you have like 10-20 armed friends with you. Then at that point the loot, while being great is not plentiful enough for all and you have the problem of it takes so many to get so little. If you made it really, really difficult to clear.. like next to impossible. It would create that legendary story status that Dayz is so well known for.. ;) Example: 1 Heli crash, 1 Military Tent spawning same tent loot, 1 barracks, and 2 medic tents. This way even if you loot it all, its still not that much. But the chance of finding the more rare loot would be there because you know, there is a heli crash next to a barracks next to some mil tents.. -
Deer Stands - What Do You Want To Spawn There?
Irish. replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Only hunting items. Only things that you would find in a hunters hide to begin with.. ..and a few of them, maybe 1 or 2 should have signs of being used a last hold out by someone (like say have several static dead zed corpses gathered around the thing, and have a campsite below it with fireplace and tent)... And the loot there should spawn civilian weapons and survival gear on the ground as well as in the tower. -
Those little known and well known tourist spots..the nine raging boners of the apoc
Irish. replied to Hetstaine's topic in General Discussion
Okay, they really need the Zombie artist to get to work on making these billboard celebrities of chernarus, the walking infected trying to steal our pants or whatever it is they want from us. I would love to see Milan D. roaming the fields of Chernarus, all undead and infected.. wishing he had his keyboard and mic. -
Something should be done about damage you can take
Irish. replied to Kal_Zakath's topic in General Discussion
You can shoot a backpack and have it take damage. Also, what you see is not what the other player sees. Angles are odd like that. -
Great Imgur overview of the upcoming weapon CZ 527
Irish. replied to gibonez's topic in General Discussion
I mean.. do people really need to argue and bring up points like this? There is a topic and most are not on it. I welcome the CZ.. Its getting boring having everyone that snipes at me miss. Maybe it will be accurate enough to hit things beyond 400m? -
Something should be done about damage you can take
Irish. replied to Kal_Zakath's topic in General Discussion
So you are absolutely 100% positive that you were only hit in the arm? Now let me ask.. with this being a video game.. How in the world can you be certain of anything? -
lol, no wouldn't do that. What I meant was, right now that is all pistols are good for to me.. as an oh crap back-up if ammo runs out in the rifle. But if I could legitimately snipe with a pistol then maybe I would use it.. but its already been said its not as accurate as the SKS so Ill pass on that..

Is it just me or is the Frag Grenade explosion a bit big?
Irish. replied to Gabe Newell's topic in General Discussion
No. The US Marine Corps does though. For tests and other official stuff like that of course. ;) ..Rah -
