I believe Rocket talked about working on the suicide animations for rifles, pistols, and knives, so I assume we'll be seeing it soon

Ladders are the number 1 killer in chernarus at the moment. Avoid them at all costs

Try playing around with you rendering distances and other video settings. Unless you're computer can't handle increasing those, in which case I'm not sure what to tell you

Where did you find the hat? Can't wait to roll around Chernarus with that and the jacket

If they just added the functionality to lower the visor on the Pilot Helmet, I would be a happy man

So there i was in Berezino with my friend (@Doctor RayRay). We entered into the office building to look for a weapon to give to another one of our friend who was not online at the time. It's important to mention at this point that we were both very well geared up. RayRay had a fully kitted out M4, and I a Mosin with LR, bipod, and compensator. We were both going for a blue/grey outfit to avoid the usual green military guy look. So i walk up the stairs, and I'm met by a guy brandishing a fire axe. I call out friendly, and he hits me with the axe. I tell RayRay (who's still downstairs) what just happened, and start running down the stairs. I run out the building and begin to bandage while RayRay continues calling out friendly. I told RayRay just to shoot the guy because he obviously was hostile since he attacked me, but RayRay ignored me. The axe-wielding bandit then charged RayRay, knocked him unconscious, and i could only watch helplessly as i was in the middle of bandaging. He then killed me as well. RayRay and i both spawned back in with vengeance on our hearts. RayRay spawned in Solnichy, but i luckily spawned in Berezino. I ran straight for the office building. Finding no one there, i went to the top floor to try and find a gun. Luckily, i found a magnum and some .357 round in the same room. I started heading downstairs as RayRay was approaching the building. He yelled out to me that there was a guy standing over our bodies that looked like the guy that killed us. I hurried down the stairs, and i soon as i laid eyes on him, i pumped 4 magnum rounds into his head and torso. RayRay's M4 was nowhere to be found, but i was able to rightfully reclaim my Mosin and some of my loot. So if you're that guy and you're reading this: Karma's a bitch To everyone else: have you had similar experiences with seeking vengeance? Killing the guy was one of the most satisfying experiences I've had in DayZ so far

Are you a bandit? Only you know the answer to that... :D

It depends on what type of player you're going for. If you're gonna be walking up and down the coast hunting bandits, definitely go SKS If you're gonna be sneaking around and engaging targets from long range, then definitely mosin

Would love binoculars Or they could just add the functionality to look through a long range scope without a gun

I have a Mosin as well. I constantly get this same static both when I'm logging in and randomly as I play. It's quite unnerving The only thing I can think of that could cause it is a corrupted audio file or something of that sort

Did you check to see if you had any desync at the time?

You can get way more loot hopping from village to village inland than you can in electro/cherno. And as an added bonus, you're way less likely to get murdered by a pants-less axe wielding psycho

Office buildings, Military jails, and basically anywhere else the mosin can spawn. I believe that it's a military/residential spawn so look around those areas. They don't seem to be too rare.

I've noticed this on other characters as well, like when I'm standing a few feet away from someone their attachments ocassionaly disappear. I assume this is some sort of rendering issue

Was this on the experimental build? I know that was a common issue when the experimental servers for 33 first came up. Does the problem persist on the stable build?

Rocket has said that at some point he hopes to have all residential structure enterable and loot spawning, I'm glad to see they're going in that direction.

Dick Gumshoe over here I think you might be taking this a little to seriously, buddy. All day you've just been criticizing every little thing i post. The purpose of this topic is for people to tell their own vengeance stories, similar to the one i was apart of. If you have a story of your own, i welcome the opportunity to read it.

I would have shot him right there, but we were in the staircase when it happened and i was in a corner, so i wouldn't have had time to pull out my gun without him being able to hit me a few more times, which would have killed me. I just assumed that my best bet would be to run and let my friend handle it once i was out of the way. I guess it didnt work out that way though! :D

The down jacket is such an enigma for me. On the one hand, it looks really cool with a nice outfit. But on the other, it's really uneconomical (only 3 slots, replaces assault vest and shirt).

I told my friend to kill him after he hit me the first time. I guess he was being overly friendly. It was at that point that the guy began rubberbanding and glitching around. One minute he was up the stairs of the office, the next my friend called out that he was dead, and then i died without ever seeing the guy appear in front of me. It was only after being knocked unconcious and hitting "Esc" to see my surroundings did i see him standing over me taking my mosin (a contributing factor to me identifying him later). Aside from not killing him after the initial hit, there wasn't much we could do in the way of protecting ourselves.

A very valid point. But I'm led to believe (and I'm almost certain) that it was same person because he had the same gear. But the selling point was the character model (skin color). Both times (when he killed us and when I killed him) it was a black man wearing blue shoes. So while it's a very real concern, I'm fairly sure it was the same guy.

35-50 FPS is nothing to shake a stick at. Lag wise, you should run an internet speed test on ookla and post your results here

The M4 was gone because he hid the body. I was able to identify him as the same guy that killed us because: A. He was wearing the same clotches B. He had my Mosin with all of my attachments on his person, which I was able to recover after killing him

No haha I guess I didn't clarify. The guy I killed WAS the guy that killed us. He was still hanging around our bodies. That's why it was so satisfying

That. That right there. That was a useless comment. Saying "please be aware that the game is in alpha" is useless. Every single one of your posts is something along those lines, just some technical talk that anyone else could post. And by the way, this is General Discussion. So I'm, ya know, discussing general topics.Thank you, however, for your clearly well thought out responses! Very meaningful to me!
