catstyle (DayZ)

I used to run with a bison SD and a DMR sniper. It was the best thing ever, thou sadly the only real con about it was to hard. I had to switch weapons going insides towns and once back out, sniper got equiped. If i equipted it directly from backpack it had a huge chance of making my weapon vanish. So everytime I had to drop one ammo on the ground, drop the first weapon, drop the other one, pick it up in proper slots and continuing. lets say I was inside a town, spotted someone in a field I had to do all that inorder to be 100% my weapon didnt vanish, (not sure if they patched that) .. And really.. what if zombies was around? if he was skilled he knew I would be inside the town full of zombos. : | Nowdays I just run with 1 weapon.

Great risks, great rewards eh? I mean, they could have gotten your flashlight! ;D gratz should be in proper here.

My bro ran with an AS50 yesterday, we tried to learn him how to snipe, and I gotta say, the sound it makes is harder to locate indeed, and it sounds rather cool! : D Zeroing is the easiest way to learn to snipe also. Me myself?I prefer the zoom style of DMR, and the quick firing, even thou DMR gets a bit unreliable around 700+ meters, even if you know the distance and the bullet drop, it somehow feels less accurate. I wish other snipers had 2 zooms also :(

Worked fined for me any my brother about 12-14 hours ago. ^^ we tried with "borrowed" guillesuits. : D

Id say its actually to many servers as it is, some is popular and almost always full, but there is way to man 0 pop servers, specially in nighttime. I spotted like 30 servers with 1-3 people on it, going safe, some even with daylight. Would prefer less but more crowded servers, so its atleast 5-10 per server at mini. sadly if 1 of them goes down shit will get full, or if its a peaktime, people wont be able to play, cant ever be perfect eh? : /

You can find morphine in variouse locations, is there any military tents or firestations around? Not sure if they can spawn in churces or anything. For the hunger, your in a supermarket, id say change server and hope for the best. : ) could get worse thou. Atleast your not bleeding.

Added 2 locations to the map I do know I spotted them in. Was way more but markers were so close to eachother id figure you spot em anyway if you look on those areas. http://i46.tinypic.com/v76ohd.jpg

No "open" hackers spotted for me so far. And Id bet it will be a long time before I see them Play on servers that actually update arma betapatches when they come out, dont stick on old version servers. Heck some servers are even still on arma 39XX beta patch. jikes

"Hey.. I dont dominate on this game upon trying it for the first few times.. what the heck?... BOOORIGN!"

Its in alpha, to see where people hang out now, they can do think how they want to change things with this info. So imo its perfectly ok right now, but nothing that should be updated at all after that ^^

Today I found a M136. Gave it away to my new friends on the server I made my "home". But they had the same issue I would had if I saved it for myself. What would I waste that one rocket on? And inb4 "keep it yourself" I would have shot a zombie, just to not get attached to the damn rocketlauncher. Or else I would have saved it until I died. Now its someone else curse. What would you guys blow to hell? Have you already used one?

Im fairly sure you can kill someone with a direct hit. ;o Atleast you can kill people with the backfire.

Well, the game starts when you noticed stockpiling is not the way to go. Get friends, make trips to places, the adventure, the risk of dying, the firefights. its what gives me the thrill. We managed to fix a vehicle, driving around in the night, to just crash and wreck a tire in the middle of a city. Swarming with zombies allover the place, breaking legs and having the risk of players shooting at us. We survived that, got the car working, but that was the fun part. Not having the car, or the new weapons we found earlier or anything. It was the almost dying part that was fun. : D

http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Weapons cant find a silenced weapon, either its just not added to the wiki, or its hacked. He could have gotten a silenced something else. ;o

Links not working :| Would be interesting to see wich side is correct, sadly if both sides are wrong and no hacks was used, ; ) embarrasing. Question about the sudden stops in the video but sound continuing perfect. and video suddenly jumps forward. how come? Second question, Those 3 videos are the same raid right? How come zombiekills and headhots is reduced to 0, but the murder is +1 from video to video? Same loot and so on thou, same person. During the empty fieldfights first 2 videos, id bet its the mole that gives location during silence, hence why you know the almost exact spot. This is just a prior to the possibility for the previouse typer PolishPig, not saying how it is thou.

2 things. Its not about my loot disapering, its not about me dying. Its about the time it takes to travel to my current location. Fat loot, going into electro, dies, can run back. Having starterloot, but dying up in north, then its a rage, due to traveltime, nothing else. :> Also, the reason you SHOULD shoot someone on sight instead of yelling friendly. Inlands you tend to see people far far away. You dont run up close enough to yell or type "Friendly?" That guy will have a clear shot on you for the whole run. Its to far apart mostly, takes to long to reach into chatzone. Do you want to risk it at a open space? Nah.

Just shot 3 animals with my crossbow to get some blood, packed atleast 10 cans of beans and 30+ soda/water shit. :) Apartment/supermarket is flooded with to much of it. I guess you either look at houses with a low chance of dropping it, or you are unlucky. Going trough the inlands without knowing where you might find food/water loot can be a killer in the end yeah. We almost drowe over a couple of rabbits yesterday, they also had a huge spawn across the country. EDIT: So I did enjoy the old "low on food" when you found 1 can of meat and a soda if you were lucky, inside supermarkets, since then those empty cantinues. Making waterpits inlands a helltrap. Hunting animals became a sport instead of passing by every animal you see. Seeing how long the zombos had been going on, Id say the food should be thin by now. You should want to pack every bit you can get, not have to much all the time. But Id bet thats not going to happend sadly. :(

So, fixing/changing things can turn out to destroy other things. Its common to see things get broken, or to much nerfed during betas of any kind. If you call that trolling my friend, I am not sure if you got the point of the word "trolling". c(:

Zombies run a little slower (from the uber 1.7.1.1 speed, headshots do count as a 1 hit kill still) Zombies now spawn(walk) in the woods/fields not many at all and in large areas. Killing a player have a 35% chance to destroy parts of the loot. (35% per piece, so every item gets a roll, everything could be ok, but also everything could be destroyed) Shooting someone in the back with a shotgun will shred his poor backpack wouldnt it? Fixed/added that arma2 mod that makes it easier to go near houses/corners, so you wont get stuck inside a house if you dont stand up, or stutter around.

Same here, forgot diablo 3 even existed (along with many other games) the second I managed to get my eyes on Dayz in a random forum.

Hey dude, you can atleast see treetops and the sky, you are not allowed to complain! I can not even see stars, I need to pop flares and all chemical stuff I got on me, and baby, thats the way I want to roll

----- Magic backpack ----- So, sitting on a crossbow while raiding towns since the last patch. I decided to pick up a winchester for later use. Had around 5 slots empty in my backpack and pressed the button to store the weapon in it. I guess I didnt have enough space, normally it should throw out something to get room. The winchester vanished. Tried it with a second winchester I found a bit later, same result. It didnt drop behind me, it didnt push out anything in the bag. It simply just got transferd to nowhere. : ) Might want to take a peak on that. Specially now when people actually need to use ammo on zomibes instead of people. --------------- BOLTS --------------- Oh also, can we make bolts stack now? They cant be that fat in size they take the same space as a steak, 2 bolts close together is no real differens in size compared to 1. heck you carry 10 flares in a pack of flares. :| On the good side. It feels easier to obtain bolt from corpses now. Not sure if I got lucky or something was changed. But without seeing the bolt but aiming around the head in the scroll menue gave me "retrive steel bolt". I hope it happens more often. Or rather, I would love to see it get "attached" to the body when it hits someone. I managed to headshot one zombie at the edge of its hitbox, the bolt flew forward somewhere but the zombie died. no hitmark at his scalp what I could find. The Ballistic crossbow is a weapon I do love, and its silent, reuse ammo. I hope to see way more of it, but with some major tweaks to its bugs. No need to "buff" it so to say. And I gotta say, having a crawler dig around in the backyard with 3 arrows up his ass while he makes funny sound is really something funny to see. ;D
