    Pistols and mags

    Actually for a shoot to be justifiable (at least that's what i've heard then i found some gov document that i can't find the source for) there must be equal and opposite force. Therefore the process goes: 1. Do they have a gun? if not that you can't shoot 'em. 2. have they seen you? if not then the police want a call. 3. If they have seen you have they fired? if not then you can't shoot 'em. 4. Ok they shot at you, now you can go to where you store your firearms in an approved safe, unlock it, open it, pull out firearm of choice (assume a semi auto pistol w/o slide according to the regulations), attach slide, load magazine, insert mag, rack slide. Now you can shoot them. It's simpler with a revolver (you can keep speed loaders loaded) but you are still screwed because them firing at you means that they want to kill you, and they know where you are. Fumbling with that sh*t in the dark will get you killed. I did hear about a document allowing the process to be simpler in my state but i can't find it. EDIT: 1024th post.

    New sounds, anyone?

    The sounds are place holder. I predict a patch notes containing "All new sounds" in it and we will open it up and bask in the glory of the new sound designers.

    Pistols and mags

    In regards to pistols in Australia it is (being serious here) ILLEGAL to store a magazine loaded due to government BS. A speedloader for a revolver is ok as it is seen as an ammo holder but a semi auto mag for a pistol is a no-no. Also Ammo must be stored separately (often with some vital parts like a bolt for a bolt action or the slide for a semi-pistol). It isn't that unusual to me because i've lived with it but i can see how it would annoy people from the US and so on. Just assume that Chernarus is a bit like us,
  4. You could use a pistol. That's all I have wrong with this, other than why are you carrying something in your hands that easily goes on your back.

    Broken Bones

    fall off a roof or join a hi pop server and wait for the next person to come along and ask them to kill you. The game mechanic however is fine, it doesn't discriminate and it shouldn't.

    DayZ SA performance and my systems bottleneck(s)

    I meant building a PC geared more towards gaming. The IMac you have is geared more towards Web browsing and office stuff but is still good enough to do some minimal gaming.

    DayZ SA performance and my systems bottleneck(s)

    Dude, use some paragraphs. I think your problem is the fact that you have a Mac. JKs Your ram is a bit lacking, around 8GB should do you well. But there is still a problem. The Imac is an All in one, basically a Laptop without the ability to use it anywhere. This limits your possibilities dramatically. If you really want to up you FPS and graphics (Which exceed mine, alot) then i'd suggest selling the Imac and building a PC.

    DayZ Standalone Gun Review- 1911

    Did you even watch the full video? He actually uses one. So yes you can find them.
  9. Dchil

    Post your Preferred Loadout

    Primary- SKS w/PU but i'm leaning towards just using a sawn off for my primary. Secondary - Magnum & Sawn off but if i loose the sks then just the magnum. May pick up the CZ or 1911 to see if i like a second secondary. Zombie/out of luck gun - Amphibia S (MK2) Melee - Gotta be a fire axe. Hat - Black Cowboy Hat Shirt - Tactical Shirt, preferably black/Leather Jacket Pants - Black/green cargoes. Vest - Holster Any that aren't stable will be used when they go stable.

    [VIDEO] Testing the 3 New Pistols

    But the question still remains. FNX or 1911? I would have to go with 1911.
  11. Dchil

    Any pics of the new pistols?

    Not that i know of but i'm going experimental purely to find a 1911.

    Are you ready for a zombie apocalypse?

    You shouldn't really rely on your government. WWZ has been the only piece of Apocalyptic fiction (that i know of) played seriously that shows the government doing something to fix it and it working. All the more reason for that SA. Though guns do not equal preparedness, Try stockpiling a couple of packs of cheap canned food and tell your family it's for if you loose your job and/or you can't afford food for a short period of time. Water is also fairly easy to do but don't just refill coke and pepsi bottles when you empty one and stick them in a shelve. They won't last. An Economic disaster can be just as bad to a country as an apocalypse. Not that long ago a book was made about a man who survived a market crash which killed the countries' funds, Don't remeber the name but it basically told of what he had to do to stay alive till the economy got back on track, including everything in zombie lore minus the zombies. EDIT: crap i just realised i missed when my 1000th post was.

    Are you ready for a zombie apocalypse?

    I am in no way prepped for a zombie uprising except for a couple of 22 rifles and a knowledge of firearms, basic survival and basic mechanics. I should probably do something about that but i'm 16. Ergo, lazy. I still have some gear from cadets but all i'll have after a month will be my boots. We don't have much in the way of stored food or ammo (500rdsish of 22) but nobody in my family knows about prepping (i think). I'm probably a but over weight and unfit but pass the fitness tests for entry to the regular army. I also wear glasses but could live without them if i lost them. I'm nearsighted. I suspect i have some mental problems (depression maybe) but i haven't followed them up as i haven't considered suicide/self harm but that isn't really an excuse. I'd be a lone wolf or a follower who does raise objections if needed. Never a leader. Survival rating 3/10 (better armed than 99% of my town and that's all i got going for me)
  14. There is no possible way to incentivise interaction between players without giving away something you can't just kill them for. If you are supposed to get a "money" of sorts from interaction then what are you going to use it on? If you want supplies to be given up to the other party then how do you decide which supplies you give? What if the other party doesn't want to give / get some supplies? What's stopping me from killing him for those supplies. A sanity system? ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING!?!? there is no way to do it in a way which can't be exploited and it doesn't work like that IRL. The OP's suggestion of boosting player stats as a result of player interaction would be incredibly hard to code, take time away from more important things like attempting to fix the ladder bug and are at best an easily exploited system. How? Bandits often are in groups, which means they have other people to help them bandit and KOS. What's stopping them from interacting with each other to gain these benefits which make no sense from a realism standpoint? Absolutely, fuck all. Nothing. Zilch. Squat. NADA. And don't add in checks for multiple interactions with one person cause all that will do is make them gather in larger groups. EDIT: after a few months of having it i just realized there is a typo in my sig. Damnit!
  15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dItRL9-kHbs&feature=kp When i eventually get around to getting a soundboard program. But only when armed.
  16. I usually run but i've found that Hacksaws are surprisingly effective against them. 2-5 shots to the Head-upper body will almost always kill one.

    My local settings deleted

    Did you set them to read only after saving them? If you didn't then the game resets them.

    Hitting Somebody With Your Weapon

    Posted, more than a few times, confirmed multiple times and the only reason it isn't in right now, along with bayonets, is the fact that the devs haven't finished it.

    Realism Vs. Balance

    WAR ISN'T BALANCED. Wait, that should read Life isn't balanced. But it still applies, guns shouldn't be "Balanced" because one is OP because that is how it is in real life.

    Sawn off Winchester 1895 // Mare's Leg-like

    Word of Arma dictates that bullet damage is calculated purely from Bullet Velocity. Random numbers like this aren't what to look for in the files, 3 and 4 digits are what you should look for.

    3rd Person vs 1st Person?

    Mods can we get this locked, we already have enough of these threads. They all end the same, with a massive shit storm of abuse.
  23. There is one reason for why you can't spray walls and stuff with Spray paint. The inability for people to keep Dicks and racism out of their online escapades.

    Lee Enfiield

    The Mosin fits the Quota for "Old military bolt action that doubles as a low level sniper" That and the Lee Enfield was a British(commonwealth) weapon, not a Soviet weapon. Therefore, not likely at all. Maybe an Easter egg could be added somewhere about the Enfield and it's "Dinner Bell" designation but as for the actual rifle being implemented, I say no.

    Toxic fumes surrounding military bases?

    No, my first question was not "How can i get in there?" it's "How did the spores/chemicals occur or get there?" There is no logical reason in the Loore of DayZ that supports this suggestion and will only limit players. The team want no limits if possible.
