Bad Company

I once found a body in that position, laying down... one of the few times I've legitimately started questioning if the developers are focusing on the right issues at hand

It did say that you were buying an unfinished product, and that the end results may vary... so what're you on about? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/6794-i-give-up-this-game-is-bull-i-want-my-money-back/

Did he sound like an englishman, by any chance?

So, as of late I've become slightly bored with the traditional "Gear up, go fight" method of playing, and so I've started dressing myself up in red paramedic-clothes, carrying no weapons but an axe, and having a backpack filled with medkits, various medical equipment, tools and food. I've then proceeded to place myself in various high-popularity zones on the map, aka like the town-hall of Novo, Berezino medical-facility, ACT at the north-eastern airfield, and also walking along the coastline. So far I've done this nine times now, and out of those nine times I've helped ONE person. All the other times people have come running up to me, looked at me and then shot me, even as I speak to them, offering free food and medical equipment, aswell as equipment-repairs. What I'm contemplating is the reason why they do this, why do they feel the need to kill everything, even someone who is quite clearly unarmed and there to just help? Its a survival-game and all, but when you're in full TTSKO-uniform, carrying an AKM, I would expect you not to have any real need of everything I have. So, any thoughts on this? Is it due to youngsters not understanding, people being greedy, or people just being average COD-tards?

I've used my unbelievable intellect and good looks to find the missing names ;)

Happened to me quite a few times, and there are some spots in particular which are notorious for this. From what I can tell it is due to the physics-system vs. you colliding with walls, stairs and so on, which will read as you going at a high speed into the ground, aka like a fall. * Police stations, both floor and stairs. * Small, green guard towers * Pinetrees * Colliding with someone running in a barrack/other tight spot.

Truly. I will also offer them food if they act like cunts, aka fruit I've treated with disinfectant spray

Eeeh... if you have a canteen or a water bottle you can collect water in it if it rains... its been a feature for a while now ;)

So, you cannot move anywhere, sit anywhere or do anything without your character spontaneously combusting or becoming the embodiment of an icicle... Sounds like the first few days of release

How would the spiders and snakes get infected?

Yes, but its not "too" easy. It should be easy to find stuff so that we can test it out, discover glitches and bugs, and then report it. If only one out of thousand found an AKM drum-magazine we'd probably never discover that painting it green transformed it into a 30-round magazine.

Starved. I was not a new player (played the mod since the release), but this was during the first day of the standalone, and it was when can openers were rare as fuck, you couldn't open cans with anything BUT a can opener, and also there was no fresh fruit, nor canned tuna.

I am the most original thinker of all time

Hehe, that made my day a little brighter

No backpack at all is what I prefer (Tactical shirt, cargo pants, high-capacity vest) and one or two protector-cases, and I'm able to carry all I need; Mosin with LRS, two morphines, can opener, a few sewing kits, ammunition a plenty, 12 rags and a 100% bandage, 1 can of soda, 1 can of something, and maybe I'll even keep a grenade in there

Couple'o days ago, teaching a friend how to play the game. He's at the topmost part of the Novo town hall, and standing at the edge. He then asks how I did the sitting-down position, and eyeing an opportunity I tell him that he has to press "V"...

I'd love to see a G3, but as an extremely rare spawn, as not many of them came to eastern Europe, but rather Asia, Africa and Scandinavia The SV98 would do well as a rare police/military spawn, but it would have to be rare enough so that people would actually be looking for it, and for that to happen it would also need to have some noteable advantage over the two other bolt-actions we have right now.

My mistake, its getting late and I read it like you were the ones attacking. Still, doesn't change the subject. The game is supposed to be realistic, which means that somethings are simply the way they are. Lets compare this to, say... Call of Duty. In Call of Duty there will be a gang of kids, all armed with sticks, fighting on a flat grass field. Everyone can see everyone, everyone is armed virtually equally, with the only variation being the length and size of the aforementioned sticks. It all boils down to the individual kid and how he wields his personal stick. Now, in DayZ, you may still be a kid with a stick. This is fine; you have the stick, and the stick has you. You might even be able to take down another stickwielding fellow. Still, no matter how good your stick is or how well you wield it, chances are you are going to be the victim of a slightly older kid, sitting in his fortress made out of solid granite, firing on you with 200mm high-explosive artillery. Your stick has now been rendered useless, and it has no advantage over the artillery, other than it is more suited to scratch your back with. Silly analogies aside; the best way to even out the playing field as much as possible is to pick your battles, and always play to your strengths. Remember; knowing is half the battle. The other half is to have the biggest stick.

You talk as if it is his fault that you are breaking yourselves onto his shield, aka the fact that he has an easily-defended position. What you have, on the other hand, is the ability to... walk away.

There are plenty of vegetables around the lands of Chernaurus; we just tend to call them "russians"

I find it amazing just how brittle the clothing in the game is at the moment. First-grade pristine military-clothing designed for the russian Spetznaz-forces should not be turned to shreds by someone slapping, nor would I say that the solid-steel can-opener that I keep inside a military-grade protector case would disintegrate because I happened to fall over and scuff my knee.

As much as I support it I can only think of how many ways this will fuck over the engine, reversing gravity and turning all firestations into giant human-eating mechas piloted by deer

I recommend finding lots with broken cars and searching the both the cars and the area surrounding them. Remember to check the beds of the pickups. And hey, it is a 1911 after all, the only true use you have of it is is shooting yourself in the face

Head; Nothing Torso: Olive Tactical Shirt Vest: Olive High Capacity Legs: Green Cargo Pants Feet: Black or green combat/military boots Hands; Black Working Gloves Back; Smersh if going Mosin&MP5, nothing for single weapon Boring, I know, but I really dont feel like being about as easy to spot at 500m as a tibetan monk dousing himself in gasoline to cosplay The Human Torch

You do not traditionally aim with a shotgun; slowly pulling the trigger, holding breath, one eye closed and so on. The shotgun was designed to shoot birds and other small & fast animals. Its made to be fired quickly, with both eyes open and a barrel that leaves your line of sight open. Indeed, weapon fundamentals - aiming is just a more complex form of pointing.
