Thanks, Guess it means I'll have to move in order to engage in the future.

Background start: I picked up the game again after a few months to see whats up. I headed to the NEAF in hopes of decent loot. Only to find zilch in the new building and hanger, but as I start looking at the first APC (and find some decent things that people may wish to trade for) I come under rifle fire from long range. Other than knowing this guy is a noob in both skill and tactics (can't hit me and begins the engagement while I was behind a few cm of steel). Realizing I couldn't pinpoint the direction of fire, so I serpentined my ass across the airstrip to safety. In my attempts to find him, I went to the mountain west of the AF in hopes of finding this dude. I like to not engage people with hostility, but saving my own skin would be nice. Background over. What are the preferred sniping spots in the NEAF? I know of the west mountain and how has good line of sight. I know this guy was in the North/East of the AF and elevated. Any tips for future pre-loot runs would be great. Also, does anyone know how far a player is able to see using the Binoculars? Also, can you spot someone over a 1.5 km away? Thanks

IRL, no. One of the coolest and nicest person I know is a Brazilian Citizen and he's more American then most. In video games, yes. Its not the fact that a person is from a specific country, however I have played way too many games that became ruined because of players from Brazil. It's a huge lag issue in many older games I use to playand ruined said matches/games. As for day z, would I shoot a person for saying they are Brazilian? No. However, every person I play this game with will as they have a much deeper hatred for the Brazilian gamer for the same reasons I noted.

Or you can play more of the Alpha like me and lose all your loot after server hoping too much. I learned my lesson...

I think finding small fishing boats would be a cool idea. I actually did not think about it until you made this thread :) If the boats are small enough to not create a base at sea then I say have at it. I would think that maintaining the boat would be a royal PITA, but all the power to ya.

I'm w/ y'all here on the civilian aspect of both weapons and optics. As for High Power Optics only used by bandits for PvP, I disagree. I run a 91/30 with a Long Range Scope and use it to scout ahead for my squad and also use it as over-watch. That's the best use for the 91/30 so far; a recon weapon.

I'd rather not read through pages of back and fourth, so I'll just state my opinion for what it is worth. Combat Timer: Once you fire your weapon or player comes under fire (if programmable), there is at least a minute timer that prevents you from logging out. Respawn Timer: After death/unconsciousness, you are forced to stay in the server for 10/15 minutes before respawning. This would allow the other people to take your gear w/o your body disappearing. If the game is exited by means of ctrl+alt+del or alt+f4 than a penalty of some sort (don't have a good idea for this) is needed to try to prevent this. --------------------- STORY TIME: I just had a guy combat log on me. I was at Northern Airfield, spotted a guy in the tower looking towards the forest, where I was. Prior to that I was on the left side near the industrial area of the complex and heard two separate M4s. I had a strong assumption that if I saw a guy in the tower, he was hostile. I had a clear shot on him, he could not see me. I shot and he either died and logged, or just logged. I wasn't going for his gear, but I would have liked a confirmation of my kill to know if I was safe or not.

Been discuses before, please use the search function on a topic that is highly likely to have others with your view point. Merry Christmas.

Bump, still have problems.

Where is there a mute function?

My in-game mic seems to not work when talking to my friends on a 3rd party server. But, their mics work in-game and on the 3rd party server. Any idea why this is?

I did that for awhile and it became more trouble then worth. I would constantally lose gear and ammo between server hoping. I gave up and learned it wan't worth it. I finally convinced myself that it's cheating too.

I think a jerryrigged suppressor is an AWESOME idea.

Only time I have seen more than lone players is at the Giant Spire (Green Mtn?). Me and a friend held up a guy and let him go. He attracted a lot of company and I got blasted in the head with an M4 after killing one of his friends (who just axed some dude in the head). They then waited 30 minutes to kill my friend and acted like total jerks over the in-game chat...

I was trying the same thing with both the PU scope and Hunting Scope and noticed the same thing. I assumed there would be wind and bullet drop but could not hit my target. I am guessing that the Z was around 500 meters away with the PU scope (firing prone level to my target) and maybe 350 with the hunter at 50m+ elevated position and kept trying to compensate but I also missed (I fired like 20 rounds at this Z too). My conclusion on the Mosin is that it's just not accurate (like real life). It's not a precision rifle and was never designed to be a precision rifle.
