Window Licker

Nearly every time someone comes here after seeing a single hacker they are generally screaming "the game's riddled oh there's so many they are everywhere" I saw ONE, I've played 167ish hours and never seen one hacker. The way I look at it is this, this person paid $30 for the game, they paid $30 for the hack, they get banned and they need to pay another $30 to get another copy of the game, for what? so they can kill people, they are so bad at the game they can't play it properly themselves. I understand your mad at losing your stuff but this is DayZ, also alpha. I've died to many glitches, I've done stupid things and gotten myself killed but as a rule I don't care, normally the instant I die, I take my hand's off the keyboard and mouse, lean back in my chair and say "fuck" then click respawn and start again.

Not sure but you can fill a syringe with your own blood, would injecting that be enough to kill you if your the wrong blood type?

Yeah I do recall seeing that the first time, so much time playing it get blurred into one I guess :)

Yeah I like night time but the fact of the matter is that if I play night 90% of the people will have their gamma/brightness sliders right up to make it a grey day, so I either do that to stay competitive/alive but then it's like well fuck this is just a shitty looking day, switch to a day server fixed it. If they address the whole gamma slider thing I'll play night, cos it's wicked creepy sometimes but there is no point right now as far as I'm concerned.

yep, nope, if you are getting kicked from a server cos it's some loot whore admin, report it, see if their M4 will keep them happy after they lose their server with NO REFUND. If your too lazy to do that I really don't see how you have the right to complain. Anytime you add addition steps you add more weak points, what your proposing I can easily see being turned into a server hopping/ghosting exploit/script/hack not only that it put's additional strain on the server's. Do you wanna know how to never get the timer? Make a favorite's list, play those server's only. Edit: this is how I pick servers, Good names imo FragNet.ca Canada/Quebec 1 - Public (24/7 Day Time) DayZ CA 3-161 Regular 115188 - Hosted by Vilayer.com Dodgy names Grandpa Jack Mcgees Pork n beans Hardcore 115106 FlatLine | 45 min Restart | Refresh 24/7 | Regular 115106 I've always found that server's that acknowledge the host or are hosted by the host as promotion are the one's without abusive admins shoddy connections, stable fun still KoS tho lolz

I honestly think that zombie AI is just back burner right now aside from making them walk up stairs, it hasn't changed since release as far as I can tell.

Turning invisible is a known bug. Yeah I think they are working on that.

Carry a hunter's backpack and they'll think you have the whole military base inside.

They hired a coffee guy, accountant, PR Manager, sales leader, sales team members, project manager and 3 yes men. DayZ eta doubled.

I Think the OP is trying to black and white by starting in the grey area in order to bring people gradually to their opinion, could be wrong it's happened before. DayZ is a series of lesson's for example I was running ball's out thru the middle of a field north of NEAF, someone shot me. I survived that one but guess what, I'm not running balls out thru that area again, I'll be running thru a forest, a little off the beaten track.

Just a few questions If you shoot on sight why do you do it? Only on or around military installations can you explain to me why you are not bad at the game if you shoot on sight? It's the airfield, I've just trekked forever to get there, I want some of the high grade loot and if they see me they will shoot me, the ONLY time I've walked away from an encounter at the airfield, the other person initiated conversation and I replied immediately even then it was an uneasy situation. What is your opinion on people who shoot on sight? I think they are generally to scared to engage another person in conversation, Another portion is the people who are so weak they can only gain any feeling of power or control via shooting people thus dominating them. Then there's the airfield KoS, I dont care I get mad at myself for not checking the area properly. Bandit's on the other hand imo is an honorable playstyle, it take effort and risk idgaf if they only end up torturing me until I die, fact is they had the stones to put themselves at actual risk. Do you think they are just pure douche bags that ruin your DayZ experience? Meh sometimes but dodge them where you can. Should they be ashamed of themselves? IDGAF when did I become the feelings police Final note: Ever injure/KO a KoSer they cry beg and plea for their life they'll say anything they can that they think will get you to take mercy on them and thats where their true cowardice shows. I don't KoS in general and I've never begged for my life to illustrate, an injured KoSer

Berries, my friend delicious, taking forever to harvest berries, My current life is still going because of those delicious red thing's found a shot gun, ammo, pant's and a single can of pipsi in 2 hours of coastal running for shits and giggles.

There's been building's there since the svelto patch, they just added some more building's to it, there's rumor of another town that is in the current experimental but I've not had the chance to check it out yet.

At 167 hours right now, No I don't regret it, I get bored of it at times but I know I'll be putting more hours over the coming months, seeing the game develop is something that keeps me coming back constantly. The new systems coming in imo will add significantly to the game.

I will build several "farms" spread out around the map and travel between them and collecting berries to trade for ham, you won't find my bed.

Thanks man I really appreciate it, I try to take care in what I post, and a compliment from someone I respect as a member of the community has made my day.

whats the core then?

Well I'm dropping the two cents that I have grouped with random players and we had a good time feels nice having someone to watch your back, if your having trouble meeting people in game why not find some outside the game and play with them I've not been keeping too close of an eye on this thread reading it every now and then, but the "concept being fundamentally flawed" has popped up several times, this seems to be the magic shield that everyone who's criticizing is hiding behind, Dean said that and now it's your go to straw man. The thing your missing is everything is flawed if there was a flawless, truly flawless, game then everyone would play that and we wouldn't be here. Your entitled to your opinion and all that but I don't recall ever eating olives and thinking that shit is disgusting I've gotta get me some more of that, no it's that shit is disgusting, never again. If you don't enjoy something then why do it, if you truly believe this game is ruined then why are you playing there is no reason for you to be here stirring the pot. Why are you being a troll?

Was that the one where he broke his leg kicking him? uh on topic DayZ rules!! WarZ for fool's yeeeeaaaahhhhhhh DAYZ Did you know, the rockets in Doom2 have a red ring on the front of them, I observed it while dodging one in a deathmatch, funny so long yet I remember like it was yesterday, CS 1.5 was the last game that occasionally gave me the oh shit feeling since then I forgot how it felt, enter dayz the dry mouth, mind's racing trying to figure out the best plan, gotta move quick to tarry is to die, when it's over my hands are shaking, so long since a game has given me such a rush 10/10

I've seen geared players lock down a town and declare it a safe zone any one with a gun out get's shot.

I feel like I'm missing out on thing's playing the experimental build, sure some bugs are fixed, but I get the pleasure of finding new one's, Sewing kit's will work on clothing as long as it's not ruined. Also it's a blood stained hole and all the sewing in the world won't get it out. Have you seen a protruding bone break you know where a bit sharp piece of bone sticks out thru the skin, that's another hole and fair bit more blood on your pant's too. Sorry if this seems snarky but you played the "realism" card so I played the hand you dealt.

Now thats something I could see as interesting dropping items can be a little rough with the times is takes to appear.

I understand, but maybe the post should be titled why DayZ isn't for me, the fun that I get out of it, currently is can I survive, I spawn in often late and on a full server the coast is literally empty, I've heard all the stories about players starving to death I'm scrounging heading to all the little towns that are out of the way looking for something. Sometimes I've been lucky with this and I've gotten geared up other times I've been scrounging berries just to stay alive (now that's not fun) but I've done it I've survived where other can't. Every time I encounter another player I wonder about how to approach the situation. Some I've been shot, some I've killed, some I've made a group and some I've walked away from. Watching the game evolve is in it's own right something I enjoy, there is plenty of things to look forward too for myself anyway, I'm not sure what you expected are you mad because you died? I've died too you know lot's several from glitches some from bad judgment and some carelessness. If the KoS mentality bother's you then why not join a group? I avoid KoS by not being seen, can I be sneakier then the sniper? some situations I've managed to talk my way out of. To me the freedom and mass murder that carries on is a challenge, being able to discern dodgy behavior, phrases and the tremor in their voice are they afraid of me, thinking I'm going to kill them or are they planning to kill me? I enjoy they way this game plays out sometime I don't have a chance, sometimes I make a bad decision. Finally if your so upset and angry at this game why are you posting here? are you looking for validation on your view's so you can leave the community with a bang of yeah I'm right, guess what next week someone is going to post here a similar thing before they leave and we still won't care. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

And that's why people won't read your whole post. I'm just going to propose one thing, the Mosin equipped with a LRS (particularly after bug fix) should be effective to 800 metres it can be shot up to 1000. To give you an idea, that is shooting from the northern end of the airfield to the 3rd hanger. from the atc to the north end is ~800 if you made the safe zone the size of central electro then you'd have 450x450 square/circle meaning that 2 snipers armed with mosin's would be able to lock the area down and the people inside would be unable to shoot back or leave as once they did they'd be dead, anyone coming in would be shot but at least they could retreat and maybe engage the snipers, a squad of 6 would be able to effectively lock down the entire area with no-one in or out.

does that mean you never see his posts?!??
