In my experience if the people who show up are clan tagged you're usually safe, not because one of the people overseeing wouldn't kill you, but because they typically don't want to ruin their fellow clan members reputation. I'd be pissed if someone helping me out gunned down the person I was trading with.

Red Ensign is a good man to trade with, everything was amicable and went smoothly.

"Understanding Realism in Computer Games through Phenomenology" (DayZ discussion).
Alpha Cowboy replied to scriptfactory's topic in General Discussion
If we're going to be 'realistic' then information that would be easily discernable should be listed, caliber, box magazine or internal, what parts can be swapped out. The barrel is threaded, it has an accessory rail/scope mounts, etc. It's no longer an issue for me, but there are various firearms in game that have no caliber in the description or an incomplete caliber listed (I know something is only listed as 7.62 instead of 7.62x??) As for medical realism, I don't know what kind of game you masochists want to play, but I sure as hell don't want to play a game with realistic injuries and treatment. Get shot in the lower torso, need to find sterile room and a surgeon plus painkillers, anesthesia, surgical tools, and then at least 2 weeks before you're mobile again. Oh, and if you don't have insurance they'll just let you bleed out and/or go septic and die in a ditch, which will take 12-24 hours real time, but you're in too much pain to commit suicide and are too weak to make enough noise to have zombies come finish you off. Seems like a fun game. Seriously, there is a line where attempting realism in a 2d mouse and keyboard work crosses from fun and original to frustrating and clunky. We HAVE to have some sort of information relay from the game to us in a instantaneous and easily recognizable way, because no matter how hungry, thirsty, injured or sick my character is I won't feel it. Sure there isn't a hud in real life, but that's because I don't need an indicator to know I feel hungry, or that I'm hurt, and until such a time as I can physically feel what my character is status messages or icons will be necessary. And honestly, given how hard up so many people are about the game needing to be hyper realistic I think some people need to get away from the computer and go camping. -
Just completed a trade with Bloodzy, good guy, trade went great.

I sent a friend request on steam and a pm here, but for reference this is what I know I have. -ACOG -NATO suppressor* -M65 Jacket (Tan)* -Green Spray Paint -Black AKM -Gas Mask -Sewing Kit* Pretty sure I can grab a few of the other items as well, just not able to log in and check right now. I'm not sure if anything with an asterisk is P or W.

3pp Looking for: Military Tent SVD w/PSO (P or W) Have: M4A1 AUG UMP AK101 And all the bells whistles Barrels
-
How rare are the larger tents? I've found plenty of the small ones on apartment roofs but I haven't seen any car or military tents.
-
I'm still looking for a Military Tent. We can discuss the price, I don't have a SVD, a Winchester, shermsh vest, a hunting backpack, or a Ghille Suit. I mostly have guns and ammo, mags, a few pieces of clothing. Etc.

This happened to me yesterday, logged in to my home server on the coast as a freshie, immediately disconnected and joined another server I frequent, had all my stuff, good thing since I logged out carrying all my best stuff. It just means the server isn't connected to the central hive, if you were to log out after running around that server and log back in you'd be a freshie again. Don't do anything, log out and join a server where your character spawns properly, then either play there or log back out. I didn't play yesterday because running around with a full inventory and everything to lose didn't seem all that appealing.
-
I'm in the market for a military tent or possibly a car tent. I'm currently at work, so I don't have a complete list of what I have to trade, and no time to type it all out. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll let you know. To save time I don't have an SVD or Winchester.

DayZ SA - Which headset do you use ?
Alpha Cowboy replied to zaphodity (DayZ)'s topic in Technology/Programming
Same here -
I honestly, honestly, can't for the life of me understand how so much of the community (or possibly just a very vocal minority) thinks the devs should waste their time trying to fix server hopping, when server hopping in itself is a symptom of loot not being dynamic yet. Combat logging, yeah that's a big issue that needs to be addressed, but you're mad because someone joined your server by the phat lewtz you were trying to take and killed you.People just need to stop being bad, when you hear the magazine reloading sound, gtfo. Stop hanging around military bases longer than you need to (honestly, how long does it take you to loot that this is a persistent issue?) How do you know that guy was a server hopper anyway, maybe he (and possibly his friends) logged out there earlier. You have no way of knowing who killed you, so you're just making assumptions anyway. The people whining about server hoppers are just as bad as the people whining about KoS, shut up and let the dev team work on fixing the real problems. Edit: that's not to say that ghosting isn't a issue, it is, and the fix to that would be a lock out, if you leave a server A and join server B, you're not able to rejoin server A for some amount of time, say 5 minutes.

Is the amount of PvP due to the difficulty of PvE
Alpha Cowboy replied to adwilk1231's topic in General Discussion
A good portion of the PvP is because of the ease and lack of depth of the PvE. Once we have vehicles to repair/maintain, bases to build/defend, and crash sites to hunt for you'll see less PvP...on the coast at least. But for now all you have is the hour it takes to gear up and then back to the coast to hunt. -
What do you think of fresh spawns being able to punch?
Alpha Cowboy replied to Chungmugong's topic in General Discussion
Honestly, the only people who are worried about fresh spawns being able to fight are people who are who need defenseless bambi's to kill cause they even have problems with gun vs fists. Leave it in, there's no better feeling than stalking and killing the bandit who's killing fresh spawns. Anyone who can't kill a fresh spawn coming at them fists out is bad, and should feel bad.
