Combat failure/tips: Learning the hard way
Timecharge replied to StayAlive (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Yeah yesterday I was coming out of a building in Vybor when someone else opened the door from the inside and they didn't see me (they had an m4) and instead of running away with my Mosin and long range scope I chased after him, I went around a corner and ate 30-60 bullets from his M4. 1. Don't chase someone at close range with a Mosin when they have an M4 (lol) edit: This isn't the first time it has happened either.. The second time I have lost a fully geared character due to choosing the WRONG choice when I am given the option Fight or Flight, I should really choose Flight more often.. -
We NEED some way to identify heros and bandits.
Timecharge replied to 1S1K-Airborne's topic in General Discussion
I think that the Hero/Bandit clothing should stay the exact same way it is now, as many posts have stated before this one in real life you don't automatically know nor are you usually given any settle warning about who are the bandits and who aren't. When walking up to people if you don't want to get shot take your gun out first and shoot them if they try to take theirs out. Don't trust people just because they say they are friendly and don't turn your back to them until you are a safe distance away and in a full sprint. -
The reduction of loot in militarised zones
Timecharge replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Discussion
Really the only two places I have had any troubles finding loot occasionally is Kamyshovo and Elektro, how ever since the patch I haven't been to anymore than one Military Base which I found a bit of stuff until I died. When ever I go through Berezino, or Novy/Stary Sober even the ship I tend to find enough loot. However I have found 1 Burlap sack and 0 Rope in the past 2 or so days. edit: I have also noticed a decrease in weapons as well, I didn't find my first magnum or any rounds for it until I searched 50% of the Cargo Ship Wreck but thats okay I used those rounds to get a Fire Axe from a guy who tried to kill me. -
How would the shotguns be any different from the Revolver?
Timecharge posted a topic in General Discussion
Shotguns are stereo typically a one shot kill weapon at close range, to my knowledge the current state of the revolver is the same so what is the point of using a shotgun when you can just use the revolver that has a surprisingly high rate of fire and is a one shot kill. -
i've noticed that a lot of people are jumping off buildings as soon as they spawn anywhere near berezino and after getting tired of being killed over and over again every time i went anywhere from electro, cherno, or balota i decided to check out berezino. first, on your way into berezino you may notice a large mound of sand/dirt to your left, if you get on top of that mound of dirt you will see a building that looks like this, http://i.imgur.com/AJOoyju.jpg out in the distance, now every single time i have gone into that building i have found at least one taloon backpack, occasionally a mountain backpack, and once 3 mountain backpacks (orange, blue and orange) however be careful when you are entering this building half the time i go there i either get shot athandcuffed and then shotwalk in and out alivealthough i have only died there once so i think you should be good edit: after the patch on Wednesday I can't say how many backpacks there are going to be in this area due to the decrease in Backpack spawn rate

50% of the time (not all the time) I join a new server all my stuff is gone and I am a fresh spawn, they aren't hardcore servers and they are public hives please help this is getting stupidly annoying after the 3rd or 4th time its happened today.
-
What I don't think a lot of people realize when they get their gear is that they also need to protect it... The last 3 times I have gotten fully geared was because I killed people who were being reckless when I had significantly less gear than they did.. If you WANT to keep your gear you can A) get in a group, people who are by themselves are less likely to attack a group of 4 because their odds of survival are significantly less, B) travel very slowly keeping complete awareness of your surroundings and try to stay in or near cover when you are traveling, C) Don't travel across an open field anywhere near the coast or military bases unless you are in a full sprint. Just doing these 3 simple things will really help with your odds of survival, how ever dying is part of the fun of the game and don't get attached to your gear edit: I REALLY wouldn't call weapons "strong and easy to use," It is very hard to kill someone at 800m with a Mosin when they are sprinting (even in an open field it is hard) especially after you recently stopped sprinting and are breathing heavily,

My character is being Reset constantly, Regular and Hardcore

Has anyone else noticed the "knock offs" or renamed versions of Popular fountain drinks? So far I've seen Pipsi and NotaCola Classic

spawning in berezino and finding a backpack
Timecharge replied to Timecharge's topic in New Player Discussion
I actually spawn in Novy Sober more than I do or ever have in Balota, I have NEVER spawned in Balota in mabye 50-60 hours of game time yet I have spawned in Novy Sober 6 or 7 times -
How many of you have fallen for the trick where people leave really good loot out in a field or on a road, you run up there to go get it, and have gotten shot for it? Because this has happened to me a couple times now, i keep thinking that i can get away with it and occasionally i do but then i will end up heading back for more loot that i didn't grab and THAT's when i usually get shot. How many times have you survived grabbing the loot and running away before you get shot?
-
where did you find this weapon part? looks like you are in a barn but did you find it in there or are you just inspecting it in there? secondly, have you tested it? if so is it like the long-ranged scope where as it gets more and more damaged it becomes less effective?
-
almost every single time i go for the loot (besides when i first started playing Day Z) i understand the risk factor that i am probably going to get shot but that doesn't mean that i won't take the chance, usually when i go for the loot i have been gearing up for maybe 30 minutes and don't care if i lose my stuff or not
-
There are creative ways to make people die if you don't want to force feed them or just shoot them
-
Yeah Dirtbikes would be good they could also add a feature like they do with backpacks, an orange/purple motorcycle would most likely be easier to find in a forest than a green motorcycle

when will base building start in the SA ?
Timecharge replied to dgeesio's topic in General Discussion
servers reset every 1-4 hours on average and with them i assume your houses would go with them (if they didn't servers would just become cluttered with little bases that people started but never finished). for rust to have suitable base building they wipe their servers a couple times a month mabye -
I have actually been running into a lot less combat loggers recently i chased a guy with an axe for 3 or 4 minutes today and eventually killed him, he had 2 or 3 chances to combat log during that process however if the guy didn't stop running and hid behind a garbage can i probably wouldn't have caught him
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedloader i assume it would be something like that but i could easily be wrong edit: I don't think i have ever seen that saw you have in your Orange Taloon Backpack in Day Z...

Vehicles I would like to see in the game (but make them rare and hard to repair), In a descending order of least rare to rarest -Bicycles -Cars/Trucks/Jeeps/Vans -Buses -BTR's/Humvee's -Helicopters Vehicles I would NOT like to see in the game and reasons why, -Planes, i feel like they would be too overpowered and make the map feel smaller -Tanks, way too op edit: I was not trying to say that planes are harder to fly than helicopters I was just saying the reasons why I feel like planes shouldn't be added into the game, the biggest one would be that they would be too overpowered.

[POLL] - 3PP / 1PP and seeing round corners
Timecharge replied to floj's topic in General Discussion
imo if people want to play in 3rd person they should be allowed to play in 3rd person, almost every single game i play is an exclusively 3pp game, so naturally i am used to games being 3rd person hence why i don't want it removed, however, i don't care if it gets fixed but i have ZERO idea how they would go about fixing it without completely breaking 3pp. this game isn't 100% realistic in day z i swap back and forth between 1st and 3rd person, for punching i usually prefer to use 1pp so that i can get an accurate punch on their head _____________ edit 1: yes, to an extent it harms the immersion feeling of the game and makes it feel less realistic however there are plenty of servers dedicated to 1pp (however it'd be nice if there were a few more of them) if people want to play in 1pp go ahead but why are people complaining about how others play the game if it doesn't directly harm you? edit 2: one of the main reasons why i don't like playing in 1pp is because when you use the alt feature to turn your head i have difficulties seeing getting an accurate view of whats behind me when there are mountain/taloon backpacks, and raincoat/hoodie hoods in the way -
Funniest story / encounter? Let's hear them people!
Timecharge replied to Demoth's topic in General Discussion
I fell for the Dead body with loot on the ground trap and lost like an hours worth of gear, had to log out and back in to respawn, logged in and spawned in kamyshovo, noticed a fully geared person in a building crouched down, punched the person to death, and came out with more gear than i started with ( i'm not sure what the person was doing they might've been afk but if they were afk why wouldn't they log out? ) this happened just a few minutes ago -
I didn't even know there were berries in the game

Good change makes it more of a long range weapon and less shotgun like
