    DayZ - Stories #2 - The Russian Girl

    It's not a girl, I suppose. Sounds more like a kid.

    .42 New Weapons: Good or Bad?

    Were you lucky enough to find a mag for amphibia? Because I've spent several hours and didn't found even one.

    Are we going to get the patch next week then?

    Quote straight from devblog, 1 paragraph before the end.

    stun grenades/flashbangs

    Hm. I suggest that flashbang can act somewhat similar to Planetside 2 concussion grenade + sound effects + temporary blindness / distorted video.

    Reverting improvised backpacks

    Pretty self-explanatory. I suppose that we don't make any irreversible changes to sticks, burlap sack and rope used. That way, it would be nice to be able not only to assemble this packs, but to disassemble them the same way. Rope+Sack <-> Courier pack Courier pack + Sticks <-> Improvised pack For most players it won't make any difference, but I see this as a nice addition.

    you know you played to much DayZ when......

    And you are really (and I mean really) tired if you succeed in doing this.

    The ACOG needs a 2nd optics mode.

    Well, this makes sense, can't argue with that. I'm really sorry if my comment looked ignorant. And in it I didn't meant the OP's suggestion, I meant only too low magnification of ACOG and PU, not more, not less. It's not gamebreaking, it's not even an "issue" probably, let's call it inconvenience (and a whole situation with FOV also); I'm totally sure it will be fixed later on and ALPHER etc., but I let it to become too personal (feeling sorry about that).

    The ACOG needs a 2nd optics mode.

    I think that they should fix magnification issues first. The ACOG and PU are heavily undervalued now because their magnification is ~2 times worse than it should be. And if they do the same thing with the PSO-1 scope when SVD will be implemented... This issue IMO makes it kinda silly to use mid-range scopes, just because they're closer to the red dot ones currently than to anything magnifying.
  9. Sorry to say, but your values are outdated.
  10. And that's what happens when you CoD all over the place instead of trying to survive.

    Good Ol' Kill-Ban

    Orlok, sometimes I just want to hug you for no particular reason. Or is it because of your general manners and patience? Anyway, point made. No homo, ofc.
  12. Take a look at a teamspeak server on IP 173.245.7.217, this is the TMW TS and these guys can get your buddy fixed And they also have a nice site up and running: tmwdayz.com Or take a look at a sticky topic at the top of this forum, which is also held by TMW members
  13. SVD, definitely. And a properly done PSO-1 scope for it.
  14. Hicks stated that patch will arrive around 11 AM GMT

    Dayz Standalone server problems

    Ehem.. That's probably because the hive is on maintenance right now. It will be back up in half an hour or so usually.

    A sniping guide for new players

    And it's the most important part, lol. And my couple of cents is the fact that you missed all the stuff that can be done with proper zeroing. BTW, working on a guide on rangefinding/zeroing now. Some military tactics are probably inbound afterwards.
  17. Ranadaine

    I'm Done

    So. Your post point-by-point. 1. Military outposts are never safe. Except for when you (or your team) are alone on a server. 2. If you hadn't seen other players that doesn't mean that they are not there. I usually stay on guard overwatching the whole area while my friends are looting and I know what I'm talking about. 3. You missed the footsteps - your fault. Same goes for not checking your surroundings even more often than looking for loot itself. 4. "Best gear" means nothing. And I almost died on the whole "several hours old" + "best gear" + "barracks" combo. I'm pretty successfully surviving (and engaging in firefights every now and then) in an especially bright blue outfit (UN beret and press vest included). Character is about 3 weeks old. The main thing with death in DayZ is the fact that it's always your fault. It's as simple as that. You will never get killed if you're doing everything in a proper way. Death and losing everything is what makes you learn here. It's the fastest and the most efficient way to learn.

    'Bandits' vs 'Bandits / Heroes', it depends.

    And third person again...

    One other person on the server and he killed me

    Hmm... That just happens from time to time. Just the other day there was me and 2 other players on the server. And what do you think I thought when I saw them both on the NEAF through my scope?
  20. Actually, sawn-off is pretty good. Was able to test it yesterday. 8-10m distance, one shot, from the hip. After that the victim had a broken leg and nearly all equipment damaged. This is one shot, not two. /offtop BTW, the B95 is great. It just feels too satisfying to use it.
  21. I'm in quite a confusing situation right now. All the canteens that I find are consumed by 25% per drink and can't be poured into another container. Am I the only one with this issue? UPDATE: dragged all the important info in this post, so here are the links for the youtube video and a post for this issue on the bug tracker http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=9285 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6SPm4I17Iw

    What's going on with canteens on stable now?

    Posted on bug tracker already. In discussion section I'm trying to understand if I'm the only one experiencing this, nothing more. I'm not expecting a fix, only a heads-up from a community, don't get me wrong, please. Excuse me if I was too annoying, I have some issues with this also, fix inbound.

    Sorry, but bump, issue still there

    What's going on with canteens on stable now?

    Looks like no one watched the video properly. After filling the bottle from the pump I get 83% of it (or 5 del, which is important in this case). Canteen fills ok, to 100% (10 del). The issue is that they are consumed by 2.5 del instead of 2 del per use (and I get 2 and 4 uses from bottle and canteen when I should be able to get 3 and 5) and that I'm not able to pour water between them.

    Here's the vid. On 720-1080p you should be able to see the numbers on canteen and bottle. And they are not behaving as they should http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6SPm4I17Iw&
