    Drop backpack to open it

    1. Put your arm around your shoulder 2. Push your backpack over the opposite side of backpack 3. Turn your head in direction of side 4. See inside your backpack No. Using your backpack on your back is definetly possible, and I could think of 1000 better things to spend time on developing.

    An-2 Colt (Large Biplane)

    Check it out bros, totally awesome gameplay. Nice sideslipping, by the way. Just need to work on 3-point landings. Because "hiding" a giant biplane when everyone in 10km can see you in the sky, I bet some epic wars are gonna be fought over these things.

    The Average DayZ Player

    How do you embed videos, by the way?
  4. Yes it does, Officer Internet Police, yes it does. And the purpose of said Alpha is to improve the core of the game before going into Beta and eventually the release version. Why are you telling me to "shut up and quit whining, it's in Alpha" when the purpose of it is to provide feedback to improve... oh wait, sorry, ahem... QQ and whine like a bitch to improve the game in the future. We are all grateful for the game, and credit where credit is due. But you learn nothing from a compliment, criticism is what keeps the game moving forward and everyones opinion is valid. "It's in Alpha, stop crying". No fucking shit. You are the one not supporting the game, so piss off. And "retards"? Really? Superiority complex, AND insensitive, win win!

    An-2 Colt (Large Biplane)

    It just means that we will need to use teamwork and set up guards around the building area.

    I dislike the spawn system.

    This is the most stereotypical post possible, from the most stereotypical DayZ player possible.

    Dayz needs a pump action shotgun

    M1014 is semi, 870 is pump, 1866 is lever-action. ARMA 2 just has terrible animations, and doesn't animate any parts of the rifle besides the ejector.

    An-2 Colt (Large Biplane)

    As a believer in karma, I am totally down for a Care Package service! As previously mentioned, I have changed the title of the thread so people know what a Colt is.
  9. Crouch walking into a town, being spotted from 300m by a large group of zeds, having to run 2km into a small shack and shut the doors, and then do this for every single town I enter is getting incredibly old. What is also getting old is having to murder 27 zeds around a Deerstand, find literally nothing inside, and having 23 zeds spawn around me immediately after and then breaking all my bones by walking off the 7ft ladder and being eaten. What is also getting old is being spotted by a starving player with a Crossbow, and having to outrun HIM for 4km so he can eat the beans I don't have, and then having to run into a town full of zeds to shake him. Enjoy your hardcore survival game, guys. The gameplay is so amazing and realistic, that pussy ass Ghost Recon veterans find it too tedious to bother playing. It is kind of like grinding for a T-54 in a Loltrakor in WoT, which is heaps of fun.
  10. What weapon would it be? Include rarity, ammunition type, usable magazines, power, space in inventory, recoil, and noise. Try to use the format on the wiki. Here is a loot chart if you're wondering. http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html I vote the Kel-Tec Sub 2000, which is classified as a "pistol carbine", buyable as a civilian but used in law enforcement in some areas. It shares magazines of all sizes with popular 9mm pistols, and fires 9mm rounds at .357 magnum velocities. Only 4lbs, and folds in half to the size of a large sidearm. Extremely low chance of finding it in civilian areas, moderate chance in deer stands and barracks: Magazines: M9, M9 SD, G17, PDW Fire Modes: Semi-Auto Shots to Kill: 1 (head), 2 (body) Effective Range: 150m Rate of Fire: 600RPM (peak) Noise: Low Recoil: Low Locations: General Store, Military Baracks, Houses, Deer Stand, Firestation, Hangar Zeroing: No Attachments: Flashlight (Red, like Military Version) Special Abilities: Folds when placed in backpack, taking up 5 slots like a sidearm. Rarity: General Store: 0.11% House: 0.11% Firestation: 0.23% Deer Stand: 0.91% Barracks: 0.57% Hangar: 0.57%
  11. Alot of people oppose patch 1.7.1, alot of people like it. If you could choose what you spawn with, what would it be? I found 1.7 too easy, but 1.7.1 to punishing personally. There needs to be a middle ground for the next patch. Makarov 1 Magazine 1 Bandage 1 Baked Beans 1 Soda 1 Heatpack 1 Morphine 1 Painkiller 10 Chemlights Czech Vest Pouch You only have 8 shots, so shooting other players means having no defense against zeds, and will often not be worth the effort. You are able to defend yourself to a very limited degree if you aggro some zeds. You have 1 of every basic survival item, so you have the option of going North instead of 1 of the coastal towns without starving, but you won't make it to areas like Berez/NWA/NEA without checking towns. Having a 4 slot backpack teaches you to be careful and thoughtful with your inventory. This spawning system gives players 1 get-out-of-a-fuck-up-free card, but not multiple cards like before. It teaches new players to be cautious and thoughtful, but without beating them to the ground and pissing on their corpses.
  12. The inventory slot is kind of messed up. An Epi Pen should take up no space at all, a Flashlight should take up maybe 2 slots, a freaking helicopter rotor assembly shouldn't even be carryable.
  13. 1 Makarov 1 Mag 1 Bandage 1 Soda 1 Bean 1 Painkiller 1 Morphine 1 Heatpack That is all.
  14. The super hardcore elite are going to jump on this thread and destroy it, but I'm going to say it anyway. The game is too hard right now. I haven't died yet because I had a Revolver/870 when I last played. But I'm reading the chat, and I am seeing 1 player die every 5 seconds on average. At this rate, humanity couldn't exist whatsoever. So let's have an option. Gun, or supplies. You have 2 choices: Makarov 4 Mags 2 Bandages 1 Painkiller 1 Morphine or Flashlight 1 Bandage 2 Painkillers 2 Morphine 2 Water Bottles 2 Beans
  15. Like calling a homosexual a faggot. Or calling an black man a nigger. Or calling a mentally disabled man a retard. Or calling an aboriginal an injun. It is rarely used in the proper context, it makes you sound like an uneducated asshole, is often directed toward the wrong people, and it criticizes people for what they are. I was under the impression that hardcore gamers were more mature, but I don't see that to be the case. This word should be censored. If your reply is nothing but "quit crying", "QQ", "its just a word", you don't have anything to say, and nobody is crying, so don't even bother and piss off.

    So let me get this straight...

    Zombies just need to stop after 20 minutes of chasing. If you haven't DC'ed by 20 minutes, you are obviously very commited to playing fair and likely having trouble hiding in buildings. They aren't undead, they are infected, and they have rotting bodies that can barely function, so they should tire out as well.

    Bandit's, I have a question for you.

    You already got the flashlight from them and kept your beans. Why the fuck would you shoot them for?

    Hardcore fanboys Vs General gamers

    I'm not mad by people wanting a harder game. If people want no weapon on spawn, eagle eye zeds, and less gear, that is their opinion. What I fucking hate is people posting legitimate complaints like "I was prone walking through a city, staying away from zeds, hit a ramp and my character stood up alerting everyone in 300 yards", and then reading the reply list to see "QQ moar carebear", "quit fucking crying", "in alpha retard", "then be more careful idiot". Jesus Christ. The acting of changing stance to crouch and alerting every zombie is perfectly fine? Fuck, might as well play Left 4 Dead.
  19. Original Spawn: Makarov 6 Magazines 2 Bandages 2 Baked Beans 1 Water Bottle 2 Morphine 1 Painkiller 10 Roadflares Coyote Patrol Pack Before, you had alot of ammo and gear. 6 magazines is 48 bullets, which (realistically) can net you around 40 zombie kills. I've never been cornered by more then 24 zombies, so ammunition was never a problem. Players killed eachother because they carried alot of decent gear right off the bat, and you never have to think about running out of ammunition. I've made it all the way to the NE Airfield from Kameka spawn on this alone, and that shouldn't happen. Current Spawn: 1 Painkiller 1 Flashlight 1 Bandage Coyote Patrol Pack While you may earn a "badass gamer badge of approval" for loving this, alot of gamers from Battlefield/etc spent 40$ on ARMA II just to play DayZ. We live in a fantasy world in which we are superior human beings because our games are harder, and that we are more mature. But I don't share this view. Alot of people are unable to get into this game. While survivng isn't necessarily hard, it is incredibly boring and tedious to "slow prone" around the town, and have to run into a shed the moment you stand up. Also, players are pretty much forced to go into coastline cities so they don't starve to death. Not many options are available for starting the game, despite this being a sandbox. My Suggestion: Crossbow 6 Bolts 1 Bandage 1 Painkiller 1 Morphine 1 Soda 1 Baked Beans 1 Heatpack 10 Roadflares Czech Vest Pouch This makes going to northern towns a viable option since you have 1 of all the 'basic survival needs', without making running to the NW Airfield viable. The Crossbow is a piece of crap, and 6 bolts offers a chance for (realistically) 5 zombie kills. You have to get in close to hurt players, due to 30m range and lack of sights, and will likely not be motivated to bother so you can defend yourself against zeds. You are able to fend off a small group of zombies if you cannot find a place to hide, but you will still likely suffer for messing up. The Czech Vest Pouch has 4 slots, so players can't tote around multiple sidearms, and have to be thoughtful with what they pick up. What this spawn aims to do is offer you choices, as well as give you a free pass for exactly one fuck-up (but not multiple fuck ups). This will teach new players to be conservative and thoughtful with how they play, without brutally beating them to the ground. Honest opinion, what do you think? If you are going to post "QQ", just leave because that isn't happening.
  20. Either Makarov and 1 magazine, or Crossbow and 4-6 bolts. 1 bandage, 1 painkiller, 1 morphine, 1 soda, 1 beans, 1 heatpack. A nice middle ground between 1.7 and 1.7.1
  21. How to place a tent: 1. Find an opening, like you have there 2. Open the inventory and right click the tent 3. Shuffle around slowly within a small area and keep clocking 4. Usually after 20 seconds or so, the tent will be placed 5. Immediately close the inventory the moment the animation starts 6. You have a tent... 7. ...sometimes with another 4 tents glitched inside it

    What's with the rollbacks?

    Ugh, more crying. He isn't fucking crying dude. People don't cry about video games. He is expressing his opinion about the game. Crying would be... hmm... crying. This is typing.
