    pfff hahaha. nice.

    Well, I combat logged.

    Fleeing from a fight you know you're not going to win isn't cowardly (as long as you stay in the game). Escaping would give you the chance to regroup with your buddies, plan a counter-attack, or really just. y'know. survive. This is a survival simulator.

    Err, you might be thinking of a sadist.

    Well, I combat logged.

    Not necessarily. It doesn't matter how clever you think you're being; Someone could log in at any time in or around the building you plan to hit, no matter how long you spent scouting. Common misconception there. We pony folk may seem like weaklings, but I rather enjoy the game and its harshness to kids that lack common sense and a willingness to learn.

    I've just helped out my 7th freshspawn.

    I read books in DayZ because I'm a pretentious know-it-all *BoastPost*

    Two lives at the same time on non persistent?

    Uhh. are you sure you're not playing on 1st person servers? You have two separate characters. One for 1st person servers and one for 3rd person servers.

    Cant skin animals

    Unfortunately they removed that functionality from the M4 bayonet. Which is a real shame, that's my favorite blade.

    Flashlight pool

    I throw both away. Nothing I want uses a battery. I don't use goofy attachments and I use chemlights at night.

    Using the wallet to identify players/hackers

    I wonder if the wallet will have a little ID card like a license with your picture on it. That'd be neat.

    Using the wallet to identify players/hackers

    Are you talking about the final release? Or the alpha state we're in now? I'm not trying to disparage the idea of stopping cheaters, I'm just saying it's not an immediate process that's going to be fixed by simply knowing who someone is and taking a picture of their Steam ID. How can you know which cheats they were using? Where did they get them?

    Using the wallet to identify players/hackers

    I'm all about helping catch kids who cheat, but singling them out isn't going to do much. It's just going to take time to refine the anti-cheat measures. There's nothing we can do but be patient. The addition of features and engine tweaks are going to make the game more vulnerable until it's finally in the state they need it. Catching cheaters NOW isn't going to do much when there's new holes in security every update.

    My first DayZ kill

    As much as I hate player killing, you did do the right thing to keep yourself alive. Some jackass tried to gun me down with a shotgun in the Novo clock tower after I repeatedly tried to talk him down. I kept telling him there were more of us than there were of him through typed chat, but he still charged up with his shotgun raised.

    My Spy Bandit in Novo

    So you're basically killing new spawns because you think you're some kind of awesome? Get over yourself.

    Using the wallet to identify players/hackers

    I don't like the idea of it showing a UID. That's a bit too big-brother for me. I personally don't want anyone to know my steam name because that opens doors for harassment.

    Upboat this persistence bug pls

    Are items in inventories stored as lists? Or matrices? Because I've noticed that it rearranges my things from left-to-right. It's irksome.

    Binoculars - "Secret / easter egg" found?

    Hehe, that is a neat little piece of information you found there.
  17. I haven't been to a military base since the day after the character wipe. One rifle is really all I need. Honestly though, weapons and ammo are way too easy to come across as it is. You won't hear any complaints from me if they nerf the mil-loot rates.

    Oh boy I wanna wear a pink boa and a cowboy hat and a flowery collared shirt http://youtu.be/yjJL9DGU7Gg?t=37s

    Respawned loot not being rendered on the client

    Whoops. You spilled the beans~ Have some more for your help...

    I got banned?

    If you're completely innocent you're going to have to contact BattleEye Support and tell them what happened. You'll have to open a support ticket to do that I think.

    Lockpicking: Minigames yes or no

    That's a good counterpoint, but consider this: What if picking locks was so hard, nobody wanted to do it except people who WANTED to do it? Personally, I've tried picking locks, and it is very very difficult and time consuming. Especially when there's a lot of noise. It's not something that can be done easily with thrown together materials like a bent paperclip and a flathead screwdriver. No twelve-year-old CoD kiddie would want to sit still for that long and fiddle with something like that, so naturally I'm all about it 'bout it. EDIT: Also, Breaching Rounds might be an interesting take on forced entry.

    Lockpicking: Minigames yes or no

    I'm behind the minigame one hundred percent. Imagine people playing it on PS4 or a game controller for the PC getting a little vibration when the pin gets rested on the shelf. I like the idea. It takes a lot of concentration to pick a lock under stressful situations. It should be something that holds you in place until you've finished. Not everyone can pick a lock or has any idea what's inside one, so yeah, it should take more skill than just mashing F repeatedly. There should be different kinds of locks as well; Car door locks shouldn't have the same locks as door locks, for instance.
  23. No no nope no, sorry nah nope that's not real

    So the team is trained, am I right?

    These whiny threads are more entertaining than my books. Keep it up.
