Handcuffed while logging in, impossible to break out.

Mine's "prestidigitation' try saying that with a pear stuffed in your mouth -
protect your crops from gun-toting CoDKiddies AND pests. nice.

I'd be down with going burglar-style spraypainting clothes and bags black. Spray your guns black. each part. make sure you get it in the chamber. spray your shoes black, spray your glasses black. spray your eyes black and your axe too. also spray your friend black. it's not racist, it's just lending a hand. he's cooler now.

Make sure DayZ is closed and not running when you're trying to make edits to game files. Also make sure you have Read/Write access to those files.

I don't think he meant that kind of fetish.

Brown hoodie and beige baseball cap. friends always remark "you just respawned, how could you have found those two specific items?" Jeans too. Cargos/camos are for tryhards.

Why waste your time on that guy? Haha.

I've never been killed by someone I've helped. Never help someone alone. Never turn your back. Never give them a weapon. Never help someone alone. If I had to give two words of advice that'll change anyone's DayZ experience, they'd be "Hush." and "Observe."

actually, as long as you still have your axe somewhere on your person (ie, in your bag), you can still use it from your hotbar. I keep mine in my bag. and you'd think the pole would kill them in a single hit, since it's a straight jab into the eye socket.

Space isn't really an issue unless you somehow convinced yourself that you need 6 magazines for your rifle. c; I get along just fine with a hunter backpack. I keep a yellow box, med kit, fire kit, fire axe, a few little other necessary tools, with a lot of space to spare. The fishing pole goes on my back since it is one space taller than the axe and blends in with the woods anyway. It's easy enough to find a hoe or a shovel in a barn and a stack of worms only takes 1 spot.

I just fish and eat berries. fishing is a pretty reliable food source.

The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)
nettles replied to alexeistukov's topic in Suggestions
My sassy response was to Gews's comment that adding every gun and item that people want to see would cause the game files to be swollen, code would be overly complicated, development would take far longer, and since we're just in alpha we should be more concerned with how the features work instead of picking up your favorite assault rifle and running to Elektro to pop bambis. My only vice with 'assault/tacticool/bad-ass' weapons is that there are going to be far more of those weapons in circulation than would make sense. For instance, There's only a handful of military bases. there are probably thousands of those weapons in circulation right now. I can't imagine there being more than 15 rifles on any military base pre-zombie infestation in Chernarus. -

You can't expect short-sighted self-serving bad-mannered children to understand that concept. -

No. It absolutely MUST be a gun that's been used in CoD. There is no substitute. It also needs an underbarrel GL and auto-targeting system. And if I kill 7 noobs in a row I should be able to call in an airstrike or zombie horde. -

I actually rather liked the 870 in the DayZ mod. It wasn't quite enough to kill a player but it was just enough to make them pass out. Plus the flashlight was fun for night raids on hospitals back in 1.7 when antibiotics were unheard of. -

I sure hope not. The less 'assault weapons' the better. -
Diseases/illnesses are already confirmed. Zombies are infected living people. That's why body shots kill them. Think Rage virus from 28x Later.

How do I not panic/shake when I get in a gunfight?
nettles replied to cheeseburger8's topic in New Player Discussion
Usually when I get shot at there's this wide-eyed scuttling to cover phase. Once I'm behind cover or concealment I'll go back over it in my head while scanning to see if I can remember where it came from and what kind of cover there is in that area. At that point adrenaline is going crazy and I'm usually having problems pulling out my weapon, but I thank merciful fuck that I'm in cover already. If I haven't spotted the shooter/s yet, I'll usually look for a way out and into the woods/thicker woods. The main thing that'll help you with your nerves is to get shot at. A lot. Unfortunately practice is the only thing that'll help you stay cool. As for winning a gunfight, Against said it once already, positioning is very important. You don't need a full auto rifle or a scoped MLG-signed AS50 with a 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher to win most fights, just some patience, gumption, and a little know-how. -
Creating a End-Game for DayZ - How to reduce BanditsS
nettles replied to gilgamesh333's topic in Suggestions
Demon's got a point. Guns are loud. I mean, really f*cking loud. Gunshots should bring mounds of zombies. Maybe a tricky little mechanic to introduce might be, if a gun is fired, zombies spawn within a radius and respond to the call. It's not going to stop kids murdering each other with shovels and crowbars though. -

nettles replied to gilgamesh333's topic in Suggestions
I disagree. Like society, gaming communities create the kinds of players that it needs. Without murderous asshole children, there would be no excitement in this game. Players shouldn't be punished for playing how they want to play in a sandbox survival game. -
Shooting a freshspawn and implying a rape? Poor taste. 0/5, would not visit channel again.
