Three things that completely ruin the DayZ experience...
muddyraccoon replied to Daricles's topic in New Player Discussion
Since cooking and hunting have been implemented, KoS can by no means be called game breaking. You can EASILY find a gun in one of the many abandoned cars, making cities an obstacle to avoid rather than infiltrate. So please can the KoS criers all go away? Literally. Go away. I'm currently in the outskirts of Cherno. You should currently be in the outskirts of the hill that is North of the Lonely Road. You can live in the mountains, hunt deer, make clothes out of bear hide,take an indian wife, and Never complain about KoS again. This guy agrees with me. -
Three things that completely ruin the DayZ experience...
muddyraccoon replied to Daricles's topic in New Player Discussion
Hmm, I enjoy your list of 3 things that ruin the DayZ experience. If I may, allow me to make some adjustments to show what can seriously ruin the DayZ experience for the elite**, and how to avoid it. 1] Dont pay too much attention to the DayZ forums. Maybe a changelog or two. 2] Seriously, stop reading this forum! It's going to poison your mind. you could be doing most of the stuff you are reading about. Go do it. 3] You're mad now, aren't you? Probably ready to punch something in the face! I told you to stop reading. This is your own fault now. **elite can also be read as everybody that enjoys playing games to find the flaws and help out, rather than find the flaws then scream-rage-type and call others idiots, and find a way to make CoD an insult. -
Ahhh, the PC world of gaming. Breath it in deep, boys. It holds many queer smells. Sorry, I meant "men" since according to you all, boys only play CoD whilst men tell the boys what a real game is like. Actually, I meant "everyone" because I'm not sexist. So, I would first like to say, good video. I didn't know what to expect going in (kidding, because of all the bitching about PvP) but it was far more entertaining than 75% of all the dumbass videos about "I met a crazy guy in Berezino" and its just 4 guys laughing constantly because one guy is wearing no clothes. Why dont people bitch about that over PvP? Second, on the criticism of the video, just shut up. Whether you own every gun in this game, know about every gun in the world, were former military, boy scout, (God forbid) CoD player, little kid or man-grown, just shut the fuck up. Dont ever tell someone how to play a game. Especially a game that has near limitless opportunities for whatever you may like, except gettin' lucky or taking a dump. Yet you think you are able to since you mastered the fun FPS and went on to the "tougher" ones. My arguments? First off, DayZ SA is one of a kind. There might be something somewhat similar, but nothing close. That means that people who want to play a game like this really only have one option. And the people that play this have different agendas. Secondly, This is a montage of what he recorded. He isn’t a streamer, or one of those ego nerds that have a running commentary throughout the entire hour long video. These are just clips that he recorded. What is there more worthy of recording than PVP? Pray, tell me? Ok, any time I come across a lone man playing a fire extinguisher like a sax, but not much else. Screenshot the beautiful landscape, record the firefights. Third, you are playing a video game, and acting high-and0mighty in said video games FORUM! How about this; instead of bashing someone for “CoD” like play, take on a new hobby. Then find the forums for that hobby, be an asshole there, and let us be.

I Found A Infinate 60 round M4A1 Hacked Mag, Should I throw it out?
muddyraccoon replied to Rhaptic's topic in General Discussion
I will say I was slightly (only slightly) vexed by your answer. But sometimes I don't see the big picture. This thread is set up to self-congratulate. I have a similar question! I found a purse that belongs to an old woman, and after going through the loot inside, I found $1000 cash! What should I do? Now, here is where the jokers say "Upgrade your PC lol!" or "Have it turned into all $1's and hit the titty bars!" But the majority of breathing humans would demand it's return using obvious rationale to make sure every one knows where their moral compass is pointing. then I would come back and say "I returned it, and she used that money to buy her grandson a new set of lungs! No he will live!" having completed my self-fulfilling prophecy. At the very least, I showed that I wasn't a complete a-hole, because a-holes would keep it and NOT make a post. As for my little scenario, I returned the purse, killed the woman's husband by faking a car accident, and now we are knocking Pristine Boots nightly. And I kept the cash. -
I Found A Infinate 60 round M4A1 Hacked Mag, Should I throw it out?
muddyraccoon replied to Rhaptic's topic in General Discussion
Honestly, why have a gun to begin with? Maybe you should use infinite words instead of infinite bullets. All I need is my bow to hunt, stuff to make a fire, and the good book to guide me on my path. No no, not the Bible. I carry around a copy of The Brothers Karamazov. Can nihilism be validated by the suffering seen in DayZ? I mean, would one reject the omniscience of a God based on the mere fact that we experience pain? Could one? I guess another question would be "why give us free will?" which seems irresponsible. Stupid KoS'rs. -
First of all, this discussion was doomed to begin with. The OP should have put this in Gallery, then maybe there would be 1 les comment for every 4. That math is purely invented, and based on nothing. Or what the Republicans in America call "Absolute Fact." I'm an american and I approve this jest. Second, grenades? What purpose could they possibly serve in this game? I use mine for thinking, so I will go home and set some off and see how I feel about them being in this game.

You answered your own question. I once saw a tweet from Rocket mentioning his mother stumbling across this thread. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she heads back this way! If so I'm fully prepared with a statement: To Mother of Rocket: You will inevitably browse this thread again. see some things that cannot be unseen. Please know I used amateur photo-manipulation tricks to make your son Rocket appear to be a female. I assure you it is all an illusion. As for smuggling a young man in his crotch, I won't speculate. I do hope he is not contributing to a minor. What's that? That only exists in prude US? Rats. Anyways, I think the tattoo, however unfortunate, is very real. We should discuss who he has been spending his time with, because we don't want the neighbors talking. Mother of Rocket, without you there would be no DayZ. For that we are forever grateful. As for the oddly censored nudity, I know I speak for absolutely everyone on the DayZ Forums when I say we appreciate beauty the old fashioned way; by mocking the ugly ducklings. Seriously, I had to work the hardest at making your son's skin look as blotchy and haggard looking as the young starlet's. You should be proud of his skin, if nothing else (and really, is there? tee hee ) Sincerely, TL;DR p.s. if you actually do read this, Rocket mom, I am really sorry. I hope your sense of humor is better than some of these jackanapes on here.

Normally I hate the paparazzi. We seriously get pleasure at knowing what famous people are doing? But sometimes they catch a certain someone trying to avoid some of his responsibilities, such as pleasing every single registered member of this official DayZ SA forum. Nice disguise, mate! Now get back in front of a computer. But NO Zombie Porn! And, as a scientist and a professional, I should inform you that it is in your best interest to get your wang-doodle checked out. looking a bit, off.

Real question about the community
muddyraccoon replied to maninthewall's topic in General Discussion
They say to understand the troll, you must become the troll. I say, it's best left alone. Once you become a troll, the only pleasures you get out of life are causing minor annoyances and inconveniences for other people. Then you meet others like you. A griefer is born... -
From whaty I have gathered, Chernarus was the origin of the outbreak and was quarantined, but there was a containment failure, and the rest of the world is pretty much eating people or being eaten by people.

At a recent LAN party where I tried to sell DayZ to my friends (we really don't need them. They're quite wrapped up in Hearthstone), I let loose an audible gasp as I burst into a clearing and saw my first Heli Crash. All the hype surrounding the Mod's use of Heli Crash Sites further enhanced my excitement. As I slowly approached, I started to gather my curious friends around my monitor. They wouldn't understand, but they could see how visibly awed I was, so they wanted to know. At about 20 yards away, I stop and center the helicopter's ruins in my screen, rotated my chair slowly towards my friends and said "Gentlemen, this little gem of a lootable object is going to change this game. You want to know how?" Silence. I knew they would be impressed But then I heard a snicker. One of my more clever friends said "Hey, those guys are in love with wrecked helicopters too." Snapped my head back to see 2 guys, one with his middle finger pointed up in the sky, and the other with a noisy yet effective machine gun that was also new. It's funny how less than a second of lag after being shot multiple times flashes you with a mere instant of hope. My rl friends don't get DayZ, but understand the weight of death. My rl friends laughed at my black screen. I hate my rl friends.

Nobody else? This generation simply does not appreciate a gem when they see one.

Was it not confirmed that the LRS would be removed before the addition of a dedicated sniper rifle? I should just use the search function, but eh. I will say, that I feel like these arguments are always broken into the obvious 2 camps, with people that know a lot about guns being strong for these realistic changes, and people that don't know specifics not caring about them being implemented, saying it's "over-the-top" realism or something of the sort. Being someone that is mostly ignorant about specifics such as sights, rails, attachments, or variants, I used to be in the "Who gives a shit?" camp. But I have recently changed my mind. But I also would like to see guns come with attachments more, and less random attachments in hangars and such. Less, not none. I grew up in middle class suburbs in the 80's and 90's, when all the baby boomers discovered that they knew everything and child safety became a child prison sentence. So I had a BB gun for 1 day. One of the best christmas days ever. But a lot of the friends I made from more rural areas, I learned that people that bought guns generally took more pride in them than in other things in their life, like their cars, or families...(I kid). And I dont know if I ever saw a rifle or an AR-15 (the BB gun for kids in the country) without a sight or other customized feature. I'm not saying I want all that, but why not? (if you have a good answer for Why Not, please be kind. I think I meantioned I'm pretty gun-ignorant. I am gun-curious though)

I'm constantly shocked they don't throw all development into vehicles
muddyraccoon replied to huggalump's topic in Suggestions
Oh you guys! Picking on the new poster for asking silly questions. At 2 posts he is still wet behind the ears. OP, Your questions and concerns have been brought up many many times before. But since you are new, you probably are unfamiliar with the road map that most of us have probably committed to memory after reading numerous times. But just to get you up to speed and not forcing you to read something longer, here are upcoming features** that make us quiver with anticipation: ETA: Sooner than vehicles - AK weapons. Probably some sort of Sub Machine gun. ETA: This Wednesday (I hope) - Fireplaces, ovens, and lighting shit on fire. Not literal shit, not yet at least. New clothes to look more militaristic? Maybe not yet. But we have track pants, so we're ok for now. ETA: Not soon enough! (within a month hopefully) - new animals to hunt, with meat to loot, and the ability to cook it. After that, all they need to add are NPC indian wives/slaves so I can be Jeremiah Johnson. Oh shit! I didnt mean to be offensive. I meant I would want Native American wives/slaves ** = it has been over a month since I read this stuff, and suffice it to say recreational drug use has hindered my ability to remember the dates and/or items correctly. Also it has left me with no motivation to fact check myself. -
My signature is non-fiction. So, yeah, I know what it's like to be too good for most people. Helicopters? Pfft. Zero fucks given. But seriously, spread the parts over multiple servers on a given hive, make clans work to get parts? Do the same with vehicle parts. Watching a helicopter be built would be more epic than watching the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj open. And maybe I've just been drinking the Dev's Kool-Aid, but once a Helicopter goes up in a hive, and persistent loot is a thing, You're going to have a full server hunting it down.
-
I approve. When I first started out playing this game I only played low pop servers. It was back before I knew about the 'brightness/gamma' adjustments you could make, so I couldn't figure out how people could not only see my flashlight when I was inside, but also how come I can't see anyone else use a flashlight ever? So I stayed on the low pops. And I swear, more often than not (or so my mental gymnastics would have me believe), if there were one or 2 other people on the server, I would find them. One time in the NEAF I was trying to go into the jail building but every time I opened the door it shut instantly. After what seemed like forever I just backed up then a guy came running out. We had a good laugh, but then he shot me and called me a derogatory name that at one time meant a cigarette. But when those encounters happened, it was like that. You either get someone who just wants to be completely baked out of their mind, or were like me and were too timid to play in higher pop servers, and they communicate and will wave as you run away, or you get KoS'ers.

Can the Standalone not be persuaded by EPOCH's bad features?
muddyraccoon replied to ChristmasLunch's topic in Suggestions
No economy. Not my opinion, just the way it is. DayZ will be a barter system. It's a new, unique barter system called "Quid Pro Kill." I'll give you something, then kill you while you are trying to give me something, and take all your stuff I want. -
This video doesnt make sense. Where they all super high or something? I am so confused by it. They didnt even try.

How To Craft The New Improvised Bow
muddyraccoon replied to TheModernGamer94's topic in New Player Discussion
When you build it, it shows an arrow that you cannot fire. Plus you cannot use crossbow bolts. Tough lesson to learn when going up against an SKS. But if you were curious, a woking SKS with ammo will always beat a glitchy DIY bow with faux arrows. -
Throwing Guide | How to Throw, What Can Be Thrown & How Far You Can Throw Items
muddyraccoon replied to aggathor's topic in Gallery
Throwing makes me happy, especially on 100 man servers, where there are a dozen or so freshies fist-fighting near Soli's suicide cylinder. Just get on top with your pockets full of rotten fruit, and start chucking. I threw an SKS bayonet, and I felt like I almost crashed the server. Other than that, great success! -
I usually meet friendly players and unfriendly groups. Occasionally run through a hero clan, but most groups of 3 or more I avoid. Almost sounded like a KoS cry thread, but it was saved with the closing song reference.

Just in case they do... TO THE BRITISH GUY ON HARDCORE EXPERIMENTAL SERVER : You were in Kraznostav. You had a crossbow and I had a sawed off. You were being chased by a zombie and it looked like you didn't have any weapons. I chased after to assist, said you could trust me, then I got a bolt on the head. I was shy and couldn't get the courage to talk to you. Now I'd very much like to see you again.
-
Some more Experimental pics of the new gear that everyone wants! That's right every body, Track Pants! this is my Communist Red loadout. A little late-summer/fall, I know. But still a tasteful ensemble I must say. Red not your style? Are you more cool, calm, collected? This style is for you. Oh yeah, and the crossbow is everything.

No, I had sex in highschool. But I did actual roleplaying in games. Maybe you overuse troll. Jokes can be fun. And when did I ever say I'd KoS? Remove stick from anus (unless you are roleplaying now, then good job!) and look at them as humor. Why would I want to ruin my my own character for a few funny lines? Well, for YouTube, thats who. But I don't KoS and Roleplay. That seems like a waste of time.
-
Did you read my post? I wont waste my time KoS'ing. I was just helping out the noobs that don't have the mental capacity to create a story. My ideas are not for the uninitiated. I've been roleplaying since roleplaying's been played. I'm roleplaying right now. Maybe I'll make a character like Lenny from of Mice and Men, so whenever a rabbit runs on screen I'll jump out of cover, and chase after it yelling out "I wanna tend the Rabbits. George!"
