    Here, Devs, a word in your shell like..

    In the mod we had an hourglass of sorts that showed us how long we had until we would awake again. Maybe a button mashing mechanic similar to breaking free from bondage to make us wake up faster? Idk.
  2. And so it begins. They felt safe with their guns and their walls and their organization. But the horrors beyond the walls were nothing compared to the atrocities they would witness this day. The high walls that gave them so much confidence would be the same walls that would witness their deaths. Not a word spoken, not a lending hand given. The walls of that dark place will continue to silently endure as they have for centuries.

    AKM in 0.54?

    Since you're all here, I was meaning to clarify something I saw in a wobo video yesterday. In his AK74 guide, he compares ak74 range and accuracy with and without the PSO scope attached. I have been under the impression that the AK74 could NOT take the PSO. Was I wrong?

    LRS?

    I found both a PU and and LRS in krasnostav today, so they're definitely still attainable. Try hitting town that are not high traffic areas if you want to find uncommon items like these. They spawn in almost every town, so you just need to hit enough run of the mill towns until you find one. Best of luck to you
  5. I spent an hour beating other prisoners and roleplaying a broken man, desperate to survive. Because I was so entertaining for my captors, they ended up letting me live. That character's survival is worth more to me now because he survived that ordeal. Yes, my captors easily could have shot me in the head despite my efforts. But, because they didn't, and because I didn't log out when I was first restrained, my character has a unique story. Whether or not the game should implement a timer to "force" these interactions is an interesting question indeed. While two to three minutes doesn't sound too punishing, a chain of 2 minute blackouts over an hour sounds like it would get old quickly. Maybe an option after the third blackout to "give up" would help players avoid being griefed endlessly. This whole, "don't get attached to your gear/character" mentality takes away from the experience. That attachment is what causes tension and makes for heart pounding situations.

    I'm confused... Most people would respawn in that situation would they not?

    The weakest thing you can do

    But in this case it would seem he was stalling for backup, and his 30 minutes of kindness earned him an easy kill. You can be nice and play froendly, but lowering your guard is death.

    Just be glad you aren't trying to get your hands on an M4 with all of its parts.

    Ideas about sprinting

    I wasn't referring to the forest or adding more towns. I mean infected. Why would we jog from town to town right now when there are only 4 things to "interact" with? We'd kill those 4, maybe loot, and then jog 10 minutes to the next town. If there were 100 infected per town, and 100 players per server, what you are suggesting would be appropriate. But it is not as the game stands currently.

    Ideas about sprinting

    No? That would not affect pvp at all and would only slow down travel across the map; further exacerbating the current issue of coastal camping in lieu of exploring the map. The issue is how quickly we can dash and pivet. It will be fixed later. But the running speed and agility won't be fixed until zombies are implemented I would think. Simply put, the map is too big and empty right now.

    Ideas about sprinting

    They are keeping movement speed where it is to make exploration and testing easier for us by essentially making the map smaller. When the landscape is populated by hundreds of infected and each town offers extensive gameplay opportunities, movement speed will be revised. Until then, we continue to pvp like its unreal tournament. I guess we should use this as an opportunity to become better marksmen. "If you can shoot a sprinting, super agile super human, you can shoot a survivor with realistic movement"

    Have worn olive high cap vest. Looking for M4 stanag mags and M4 furniture (RIS and MP preferably. CQB stock is cool too). Also looking for BUIS or carry handle. Smersh vest would be acceptable as well. PM me if interested.

    Barret 50. cal?

    It would have to take the place of our backpack to be balanced. You would also need to not be able to sprint while holding it. 5 rounds would take up one slot. Would need to spawn in multiple parts. Would need to spawn zombie horde when fired. It would blow the game open and make vehicles a non factor when holding one. My vote is no.

    Pussy metagaming. Risk it all and revel in the glory of your exploits.

    Easily the most entertaining trading experience I've had so far. EITC representatives found me unconsciousness, drowning on the bank of a small pond as I slowly died of dehydration. They quickly woke me and fed me as I rehydrated from the brink of death. The trade itself went smoothly and they even threw in a few extra goodies. 30 minutes later I went toe to toe with another representative in a barracks and we both died. EITC secured the area and almost killed my partner as he attempted to retrieve my body. In the end they were good sports and let him leave with my M4. I would recommend trading with these guys in the future. But if you plan on staying on their server after the trade, watch your back! They play hard. Edit: sorry tom

    Where do I find AK mags?

    The mags spawn in police stations. Found one yesterday so now I'm on the hunt for a PU scope for my sks and an AK74 for my shiny pristine AK74 mag
  23. Being wrecked by zombies on a fairly regular basis. Namalsk is a good example of what I mean. On namalsk the threat of those invisible beasts that hunted you endlessly kept you on your toes between encounters. It kept the tension high. Dayz will hopefully accomplish the same level of tension with numerous, dangerous zombies. Without them, the size of the map makes danger too easily avoided and promotes reckless behavior in the search of entertainment. I wanna be scared of losing everything everytime I log in and step into a town.

    Will craft leather clothing for AK74U or PU scope.

    Any plans for 3PP immersion?

    Just play in 1pp on 3pp servers like I have been lately. I also got bored with empty 1pp servers, so I recently made the switch to easy-core servers. It's amazing how bad 3pp players are. The camera is 8 feet off the ground so everyone sprints around like they're that tall. If you just slow down and creep a little, you can use their perspective against them. 3pp only being usable while not moving and standing up would be the easiest solution. But people want high K/D, not high tension. When zombies are properly implemented, 1pp will have its niche. Surviving the zombies with 3pp will be laughably easier than with 1pp. "I see a zombie through this wall, better not peek around the corner" zombies can't/shouldn't peek around cover, therefore, your softcore wall peeking is an exploit. Boom roasted.
