Skinwalker

when were the instances that involved complete strangers? id love to see examples of that 'long history', if you'd be so kind to indulge me B) sure, there have been people struggling to survive together but there is always a common denominator: race, religion, geographic location, etc. in dayz, there is no common denominator, its survival of the fittest.... the naive and over-trusting are the first ones to die whether you care to acknowledge that fact or not

i cant understand why players have this preconceived notion that complete strangers are supposed to be friendly during an apocolyptic event

yep. a hero shooting another hero on sight = asking for death. i would have looted and then hid his body

oh hey, look at this! two sarcastic assholes with nothing to add the the conversation, what a rare treat! :rolleyes: nice videos OP, i like the cap galova one especially

if you have a tent placed, i will find it and pillage it. if im feeling extra nice i will leave you with a nice supply of razors and rolls of toilet paper

loot cycling is no more. all it does is make me play 5x safer :(

much harder to find, yes. a better option? i think it depends on the person and situation, youd have to place a lot more of them to make up for what you lose by not having a tent

1 gun/25 slots or 0 guns/15 slots compared to 10 guns/50 slots/4 backpacks is FAR from being a better option

"ive grown tired of the bullshit top tier weapons, but i use weapons just as powerful that are a lot easier to find because i cant find the good stuff" i see what youre trying to say here but you completely contradicted yourself by admitting you use high-powered guns, which coincidentally, all have steel components. its not like you are running around with your bare hands or a crossbow or a makarov. :lol: quit huffing and puffing, the fact that you use cz550's and the like puts you in the same category as the people you are complaining about...i fail to see how that makes your experience any different that everyone else that plays this game

youve played dayz for over a year and yet you act like these things are new? dont like it? find a new server. problem solved

pretty substantial difference for me on both servers i frequent

1.7.7.1 fixed this....

CZ is my favorite weapon for hitting moving targets > 400 yds

considering going back to the old patch because i cant place a tent anywhere that isnt out in the open. if i cant make a lil base and save my gear i see no point in playing :(

i have seen quite a few people complaining of not being able to use jerry's in the new patch. it very well could be a bug as it was spread across 3-4 servers

usually on an autofuel server, all you need to do is land/hover near a gas tank and you option will show up when you scroll

i saw that R4Z0R acknowledged this in another thread in regards to how strict tent placing is so hopefully the devs do somethin about it. not sure how important it is compared to other things but its my only beef with the new patch so far

having this same problem!

my only real complaint is that the tents are really screwed now. it has to be 100% clear of any objects in order for it to be placed, which means it has to be out in the open easily spottable by other players. not very useful

a good bandit is a patient one! -track the target as best as you can, try not to let him break your line of sight -always wait for a clear shot. once you get it, take it -pay attention to target's surroundings, he might be a scout for a larger group and have friends not far behind -always have an exit strategy -put yourself around something you can fire behind or take cover behind if need be, try your best to keep the line of sight advantage on your side -take 1-2 shots and change your location -aim for the head/chest. lots of people will alt+F4 once they are shot so try to take them down in 1/2 shots -if you are fired upon first, do not run! return fire as best you can. lots of people shit the bed once the person they are shooting at fires back lots of good tactics here http://dslyecxi.com/armattp.html

two days ago, i killed the admin on the server i play on. shortly after looting his gear (which included some things that are extremely rare...rangefinder, svd camo, etc) he kicked me out of the game and i lost everything i had just looted.was i pissed? you bet your ass i was...for a whole 2-3 minutes. the cardinal rule of this game is to not get too attached to any of your gear. learn to love that rule

very interested in comments like these considering every single person i play with is completely jazzed with the direction and content of this new patch. when i first started playing this game, i was scared shitless for a month or so until a friendly survivor told me i could outrun zombies. that single moment changed the game entirely for me as it rendered zombies nothing more than a nuisance. ever since that day, my main focus has been killing bandits and trying to stock up as much loot as my tents would allow. i feel this game is going back to its origins by making zeds the focal point, as they should be. every move you make, every decision you mull over, will in one way or another be determined by zeds. this is what the game should have been about all along !

this will probably be my first and last time saying this, but please dont feed the troll! my home server is rolling out the new patch today. i cant wait :)

if it wasnt any fun there would be absolutely no point in this mod whatsoever; the difficulty the devs' face is keeping it fun yet just challenging enough at the same time. while i dont necessarily agree with some of the "woe is me" rants in this thread, this thread's purpose is to get a general feel for how people are responding to the new updates. dont like it? stay the out of threads like these. no one needs you, who has absolutely nothing to do with the development of this game, shooting down their feedback whether its negative or positive. all the defending in the world isnt going to help shape this game into 'your vision'. Dean and co have their own vision, and whether you like or not, they LISTEN to both negative and positive feedback which is one of the many reasons DayZ is what it is. we get it, youre a badass,hardcore 1337 vanilla player, but that doesnt make your lone voice any more important than mine or anyone else posting in this thread. keep your "WELL GO PLAY COD" comments to your god damn self

...............................................siiiiiiiiiiiiike! :lol: no need to get your panties in a bunch guys. go stock your tents and wait till weds/thurs
