    AKM vs AK101 performance

    AKM does more damage. Fact. AK101 has less recoil. Fact. I like the AK101 more. Personal choice. It's irrelevant in the end what "better" gun the AKM or AK101 is. Use the one you like more. We all end up dying anyway, no matter what guns we have. If you don't end up dying, then you get wiped, or the private server your character is on disappear because it wasn't renewed. Just try to have fun really, because I've seen even a chamber engraved 1911 kill a infinite ammo M4 hacker. It's a mix of luck, skill and netcode.... Edit: Oh, and most stats and current values are subject to change, so I don't really see a point having all this data, if it's gonna change, again, and again, and again until we hit beta, or even, the final release. But some might get a kick out of it, I get that. Just not to be taken very seriously that's all.
  2. Great video twig!! Very entertaining! Good job man! :thumbsup: Keep it up! I hope your friends see this video!

    Helicopter crash sites?

    I've searched for crash sites for a while just for the kicks of finding an M4 after not using it since March 2013 (my first encounter with "h" bastards using infinite ammo M4) and not seeing one since the crash sites were implemented, and was lucky enough to find 2 x M4 with plenty of parts and ammo, found on 7 or 8 different crash sites. I've tested it and messed around with the parts, and since they tweaked the weapons, an M4 with plastic parts is very accurate up to 250-300m. On my experiences using an ACOG. It's not as accurate as the AK101, but still, very good weapon. But that said, too rare for what it's "worth". Searched and found one just for fun, cause I like setting myself some goals to keep me moving around the map. It's the only real reason to want one in my opinion, for personal taste and aesthetics, as it's not better than weapons easier to come by. It's purely a matter of taste. A waste of time, unless you get some fun from it. ;) Edit: Something I don't like about 0.50, is that everything is pristine. I liked having to search for undamaged parts, even if it was pointless as it didn't affect the weapon's stats. Can't wait to see various state of items coming back and having the weapon attachments' condition matter, and how it will affect the weapon itself.

    A story and a question.

    You'll need to get "energized" bright green from food, then you'll start to heal and it'll take between 10 and 30 mins depending on how low on blood you are. Get rice, or 5-6 cans of peaches or beans, and you'll be good. Only 1 bag of rice is enough though. You can also ask for medical assistance on the forum. Edit: Here's the medics thread. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/160262-need-medical-assistance-in-dayz-sa-find-your-medic-here/

    Lets talk persistence.

    Why persistence so soon? I think the main reason is that people keep whining they wanted it. (I remember back in December, the alpha had just been released, and the forums was flooded with "Where are vehicles? Where are the tents?" etc, and the first answer was "Were gonna try and make backpacks persistence first, then add tents, fridges, etc." The good side is that they can get data from this and balance the system. The bad side is the bugs/crashes it provokes. Personally I don't mind at all. They can do whatever they want to make DayZ better. It's sad that we're living in the era we're in, cause I wish we could go back to the age people didn't have access to unfinished games. I love having a chance to see the progression and various stages of development, I always did. But it just slows down development process as they make a playable version of their software too early. The world wasn't prepared for that. Thus the 80% of the community whining about anything and everything. My humble opinion.

    DayZ- Bounty Hunter Series- Episode 1 - Jenny!

    Interesting video. Would love to see if a bounty eventually gets completed. It's very hard to ear with all the clan mates voices and echo from direct chat, it takes away from the experience, plus, your voice is so calm and smooth that it ruins the immersion for me hearing your mates panic and get all confused with what's happening in the background. Anyway, can't wait to see what happens next! :thumbsup:

    Character is dying for no reason after the .50 update

    This desync/latency related death bug as been there for awhile and isn't really related to .50. Personally I've only experienced it once while climbing a ladder. Once in 600+ hours of gameplay so it's not a concern to me, but it seems like a lot of players having it occur more often than others had high ping, bandwidth or lag spikes. R.I.P. :(

    Map Changes in 0.50.125365

    Fantastic!! Thanks Tatanko! I haven't got the chance to explore those areas yet, so seeing this is amazing! Cheers! :thumbsup:

    Thoughts on the new .50 Update...

    Seems like duck tape only fixes them to damaged status, while the leather sewing kit repair them to worn, pretty much like the normal sewing kit for the clothes. (The leather sewing kit degrades somewhat fast imo, but it still depends on the state of the item you're fixing.) I don't seem to have problems with my brown military boots. I ran for about 6 to 7 km and they're still prisitne.

    The Tower of Terror - DayZ Haunted House

    Fantastic!! One of the best DayZ vids I have ever seen!!
  17. Was nice to see it happen live. :thumbsup: You gave him a second chance to live, and he didn't take it. Well, in the end he got what he wanted, a firefight and death. B)
  18. I'm loving it. It's so weird to see this old devblog. The guys during the devblog were very serious about it. It's interesting to see all the progress. It so different now. I really enjoy having been able to participate since December 2013.

    Why all the judgement?

    Honestly the answer lies in the fact that we're human beings.... Why all the judgement around the world? Lack of respect is everywhere. People often rejects what is different from themselves. It's only a game, but it's played by real people who have their own tastes, values and ways to see the world and others surrounding them. Why racism, intolerance of differences, sexism, bullying, and everything else that's fundamentally wrong? Because primitive humans... I try and respect others as much as can, even if they have very different views from me.

    Engraved 1911

    It's not rare because the loot tables are messed up... I've found a total of 30+ engraved 1911 for about 5 standard 1911.... Those spawns rates are currently inverted. Although I don't mind, as it's my favorite pistol.

    THE WHITE NINJA - PVP archery fail

    The improvised bow is powerful, and shouldn't be underestimated. You just need to learn how to properly use it. Aggathor made a nice video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJIrkyP2Umg But if you wanna see a skillful player with it, have some tips and learn to become deadly with it, watch this instead!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFb93YjBV5s ^^ :thumbsup: This archery guide is truly amazing.

    Trees and Vegetation Look Blurry and Blocky

    Wow. That really feels like some corrupted files for the GPU drivers, or corrupted files from the game engine itself. (Or, impossible to fix rare incompatibility...) I really hope you can fix this. Gotta be pretty annoying. Good luck again man!

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    Thanks! Appreciated. :thumbsup: DayZ makes excellent subjects for screenshots! B) I really enjoy the day night cycle lighting effects combined with the weather effects. Clouds look amazing. (Can't wait to see the tweaked engine with DX 10-11 support! ^_^ )
