Temp Fix for Stable Branch "Heart Attack"
hannibaldaplaya replied to koNtenT's topic in General Discussion
The server owner is sending global messages that seem like notices. You're all being tricked, ignore it. Heart Attacks aren't in Stable. Its an easy to spot troll. -
What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?
hannibaldaplaya replied to RadikulRAM's topic in General Discussion
I'm waiting for the day I encounter a hacker. So I can tell them why their logic is flawed. -
Worst DayZ players I've ever met?
hannibaldaplaya replied to Crazy_Spider's topic in General Discussion
I've had people rush me with axes at Firestations, only for them to die from a double-tap from my good old magnum. Then they cuss at me on mic. -
I can barely hit trees with the SKS from 100 + meters. It is ridiculous. Even with perfectly aimed shots, your bullets curve randomly and make every gun unreliable.

Shh. Shh. Its okay. NO IT ISNISRTSJDGDSGH

What he means is that since all guns were realistically accurate, you didn't have to worry that your shots would miss due to the stupid dispersion as you have to in the SA.

Reason why Bandits rise and heroes die.
hannibaldaplaya replied to gregnator's topic in General Discussion
It isn't like you have to when 95% of your DayZ friends play on 3PP and they are too lazy to abandon their characters and move to hardcore... -
In-Game Books: What are you reading?

Call of Cthulhu. -
apologists are delaying development.
hannibaldaplaya replied to pacific_coast's topic in General Discussion
Rust is a bad example of game development. Garry Newman is a greedy prick. His game, Rust, is a terribly optimized piece of shit that flip flops every update. Updates break FPS, break other things, and they rarely add anything and have removed their shitty zombies. -
Remove all long firearms = best kill on sight deterrent.
hannibaldaplaya replied to alleycat's topic in General Discussion
No. Your lack of intelligence has required us to deem you a threat to others. Your public execution is scheduled this evening. Glory to Arstotka. -

Anyone who yells ALPHA at any sort of complaint, criticism, or form of feedback about DayZ is an idiot. Alpha is when players test and provide feedback on the game. Some people do this via criticism, complaining, or being not as civil and apologetic as you want them to. The only thing you can't do during Alpha is assume the game will always be as shit as you think it is currently, but you can call it shit and you can point out flaws. Why? So the developers get to hear your complaints and perhaps take them into account. We are here to provide feedback and criticism on the game to help shape it into something fantastic. Yelling ALPHA at people who suggest stuff is the stuff I expect from fanboy numbskulls. I love the game but getting yelled ALPHA at for making suggestions on melee and other things isn't fun. -
Unfortunately, to appear as friendly as you possibly can, you're going to have to give up a rifle. But, with some inventory tetris, you can fit yourself an axe, ammunition, food, water, medical supplies, and a pistol or two for self defense. Now, you're probably wondering- WHY HAVE YOUR AXE IN YOUR BAG? I play with a lot of groups. A lot of the time, their guidelines on who to shoot or mug or torture include those with a gun or an axe. Basically, if you have a melee weapon, you appear a lot less noobish. You don't seem like a freshspawn and your menacing axe can make paranoid geared up groups see you as a threat. To minimize this, I put my axe in my bag. This prevents players from seeing my axe on my back. This prevents them from knowing I'm even armed. This prevents them from shooting me right when they see me, unless they like to shoot unarmed players. My yellow raincoat also adds to this, as I am very easy to spot. Now, why would you want to do this in the first place? Well, if you're someone like me, you want to make sure the people you meet and want to potentially help don't see you as a threat. Plus, with this type of loadout / build, I can still conceal weapons for self defense. Booyah. Plus, as a bright, easy to spot target without a visible gun or axe, reasonable players are less likely to fire at you. This also gives you the advantage of appearing harmless. Though the point of this build is to appear friendly and harmless, you can use this to your advantage if you'd like. Imagine you meet some dupers who openly brag about using exploits or whatever, but they don't instantly kill you and try to get you to team with them. WHEN THEY'RE NOT LOOKING PULL OUT YOUR CONCEALED WEAPON AND DISH OUT JUSTICE TO THE DUPERS. DUPEBUSTERS! Or you can use this for evil. Which would be sad, but, hey, smart.

How I Appear as Friendly as Possible
hannibaldaplaya replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
Funny, I just watched Scarface last night. I try to remain a mellow, nice guy, but I do throw around references to Mobster movies and that kind of stuff. -
How I Appear as Friendly as Possible
hannibaldaplaya replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
... I wasn't trying to say I use this to trick people, its moreso to make them not immediately shoot me so that there can be more diplomatic relations. Plus, I'll just switch to something different, then. -
Who needs a cramped middle "w" finger?
hannibaldaplaya replied to makomachine's topic in General Discussion
I do that often as well. -
Can you die for an injury to your ... backpack ?
hannibaldaplaya replied to tmbt's topic in General Discussion
Oh, wow. Another reason to not wear a mountain pack. If this is true, they need to fix this. -

People trying to 'win' this game have already lost. [im trolling you, yes you.]
hannibaldaplaya replied to stilton's topic in General Discussion
Your post makes lots of ASSUMPTIONS. Though I do not KOS not all KOSers are small-penis losers who rage when they die. -
