  1. I would like to add, that after last night i should advocate giving people a chance even more. Played on a full server that was essentially a kill zone but still random teamed up with various people and had a great time riding helis and buses and roaming the map and loot zones with a partner(s), was great!

    Bandit/Backstabber hate rant

    First get a mic, makes a huge differance to face to face situations, you can quickly double tap in on and use your hands to control your guns then. If someone starts shooting you mid-type you have a tendacy to suffer a brain 'spaz out' as you try to hurridly cancel the text and move/shoot etc. which just adds to the fustration. I always have my comms on direct just in case. If you dont have a mic avoid contact with other hummies. However here this last bit and heed these words friend: Dont give up on other players, i too was burnt by others many times and no doubt will be in future however last night on a busy killzone of a server i had the best random night of fun yet on dayz where i random teamed up with other survivors, ended up riding in buses full (party bus!) choppers, and just having a good time. It was huge fun but even one of the friendly survivors turned rouge and tried to shoot us all and steal a chopper, tis part of the danger of the game, you just have to make yourself a lesser obvious target for such types. Just be smart about how you approach people and how you deal with them, dont be a victim.

    what do you use to record pal?
  5. I know where your coming from, but the reason they get the 'love' is because they do draw new players in and bring extra publicity to the game (from BI perspective) which makes them a good established platform to promote the SA. I myself made the desicion to get Dayz based of a well know (in the dayz community) bloggers vidoes and didnt regret it one bit, so thats essentially one future purchase of DayZ SA already via said video blogger. Thats BI's understandable angle and good luck to the youtubers who get the attention because some of them put alot into it, sure not everyone likes them getting attention or their videos or their voice or whatever but hey, live and let live, they arent doing the game any harm so whats the problem.
  6. I should add that i agree with this, dont trust people outright but be open to friendship etc. You learn as you go what types are most liekly to shoot you in the back and again, the risk of it is part of the fun.
  7. Hello there! I am also a former xboxer and still ocassionally enjoy some xbox however making the jump to pc gaming is a good move, we gamers must broaden our horizons! I speak to you as a 3 week greenhorne but i'll share what i've picked up with some heavy playtime in those weeks. Yes its true you cant really trust anyone unless its someone you know and trust in RL. My first experience on this game with contact with another survivor was very good, he was friendly and helped me out big time. However that made me too trusting and i can tell you i have been killed many times since, often by kill on sight tactics but also and most frustratingly by people who have took the time to win my trust only to then shoot me in the back......the bastards! However it is part of what makes the game fun..... My advice would be to start of playing on low to mid population servers as it gives you the chance to learn the map and game without continually running into violent, blood thirsty bandits. dont get me wrong on low pop servers you can still get banditry but people either keep to themsleves more or are more friendly, either that or you just wont run into anyone much. Try to avoid the south coast killzones (particularly on busy servers) of Cherno, Eleckro until your armed as they are hotbeds of PvP and bandits target those areas as lots of fresh spawn noobs tend to head there and make good target practice for them and their shiny new sniper rifles. When you first spawn look to the bottom right of the screen as it will display the nearest town name and can help you work out where the hell you are. Head to barn buildings for decent starter level guns early on, safer than the firestations at said hotbeds of death. You can aquire other essentials at supermarkets such as the map, a better backpack, hunting knife etc. You want the gear to make yourself sustainable in the wild as early as possible, always think 2 meals and drinks ahead. Take a look at the wiki for lots of good starter info: http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page and also why not study the map and loot/spawn areas: http://dayzdb.com/map#5.049.128 It will take a fair amount of playing experience to get a feel for this game but if you'll get there :) While i say avoid those towns of Electro and Cherno initially, if your on a low pop server you can try your luck in them and get to know the layout. But if you go into them gunless on a busy server i assure you that you will meet with a violent and messy end, they are deadly towns and again if your on a busy server avoid travelling along roads between towns. Theres so much more to it but the wiki, other player guides on the net, you tube videos and of course playing are going to be your best bets for getting to grips with it. Enjoy, its a game of experiences thats for sure!

    The only person who can manage your expactations is you.....and your clearly not very good at it. I think it would be a waste of time for them to try and appease people like you becuase all you do is whine, they dont have an obligation to spoon feed us updates.
  9. Also the wiki shows how much blood each weapon takes per shot and the usual shots to kill rating etc. I assume this is all accurate and worthy reading: http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Weapons
  10. My favourite is the revolver as i think it looks cool, i like westerns and thus revolvers plus the ammo is plentiful and you can use the m1911 ammo too....and i got my first ever hummie kill with it!
  11. Im willing to bet he called you a hacker or script kiddie in side lol, nice revenge though, he clearly underestimated you.
  12. Ahh great story, thats what the thread is all about, sweet, cold revenge! All the better when they know it just before they die! Thats gotta be worth some beans :beans: :thumbsup:

    hardly relevant, there will always be long awaited dissapointments. Most of the time the more time and care you put into something the better the results than when you rush to appease fans. The longer development curve gives more time for them to test things out and implement improvements or even new features. dont people have lives to get on with while they wait, or at least the mod?
