When does your "switch" flip during an encounter?
Window Licker replied to Wiggin Miller's topic in General Discussion
Player's who... Stop talking for extended periods of time. Start acting sketchy Feel the need to convince you of their good intentions Anyone who "swear's to god" Players who yell "Friendly" (honestly players who say "hello" I've found much more trustworthy) If your a psych student then I want to see what happens when you get people who have never heard of DayZ and tell them it's a survival simulator and tell other's it's an open world death match. Having a plan is a good way to get people to join I've found but you can't "sell" it, it's more of a hey I'm going here because there is food and the way I came has been looted out. Talking and grouping in a mutual way goes much smoother then hey come to the fire station there's a M4 on the roof. They don't always go along with it but I've gotten good groups from this. -
I got shot 3 time's and knocked unconscious the shooter then revived me 10/10 would get shot again.

Lately they have been running from 08:00 - about 16:30 so 8 1/2 hours and survival still isn't too much of an issue in fact the challenge is heap's fun, still haven't starved to death!!!

Nailed it, This is what the long term plan for DayZ is although M4's are here to stay they will be so scattered and rare, even server hopping won't be a valid way of acquiring them from what I understand, the spawn rate for gun's currently is so high because there is a lack of other weaponry and they are still in the process of balancing all the weapons, I watched a Dev blog last night where they showed off the bow and arrow, as well as basics of the physic's engine's (think spears and throwing axe's) Unfortunately any "system" put in place to alter the way player's play will have little to no effect in the game, making the environment so harsh and difficult that banding together and helping will be the far easier way to go, will reduce the desire to KoS also it was mentioned that players would develop skill when repeatedly preforming the same/related task's aka working on an engine or providing medical assistance this experience will be wiped on death. So don't want to lose your skill stay out of a firefight. While the measures will never completely remove the KoS element the requirement to co-operate and increasing death penalty's will be a lot more effective then any system, but there will still be people who don't care and keep playing like this.

As already stated Berries are in the game, there is currently only red and blue, and in the description it say's hope you remember your boy scout training (red=good, blue=bad) found both varieties it's just difficult as the bushes dont have the interact text on them so it's just keep spamming until the picking animation start's. The animal's, Well they have said they want companion's (dog's and horses) and they want predator's (wolves and bears) having the additional animals you mentioned would be cool but I don't know how feasible it is currently, apparently some of the animals will take a lot of work to get in, but that is a separate section of the dev team being specifically hired to do the animal's. Fingers crossed they nail it and can add even more.

B95, Mosin question | Sawn of Blaser K95
Window Licker replied to irishroy's topic in General Discussion
From EXPERIMENTAL, I got shot with a mosin 3 time's before I went unconscious, The guy who shot me revived me and helped me out. I got back to healthy then running from Svleto to the new town north of NEAF I got shot twice without blacking out managed to run the rest of the way to the town while bleeding made bandages and survived. It was a rough day so used to just running yolo in the north, guess the new spawns in Svelto have changed that. Edit: neither time was I carrying a large amount of gear to absorb the damage. -

What part of the 'life cycle' do you enjoy most?
Window Licker replied to -MadTommy's topic in General Discussion
The finding stuff, I like servers that have been up for a while and most of the easy spots have been picked clean so I really have to work and plan out where I think there is going to be food, clothing and weapons. I also have been using the improvised backpack's so getting all the components together for them can prove a bit more challenging. Some of the best ones are when I'm on a server and I find a town or a few houses that have been missed by earlier looters thats like a mini xmas for me. -
Yes, that would be perfect I'm off to round up fresh spawns for sacrifice to the DayZ god's in Black Forest.
-
What condition was the jacket in?
-
Really hope they start working on the night situation although there are thing's that need more urgent attention it would be nice for them to fix it.
-
Fixed my join game you are dead situation
Window Licker replied to JohnDMarshall's topic in General Discussion
Computers can be a little crazy sometimes, I can't run certain games with chrome open in the background or my computer hard crashes and refuses to detect the HDD until I unplug it, pet it for a while, a few cookies and a glass of milk later and all is forgiven. (female computer for sure) -
I found one in Sevtlo Hospital, Experimental server. Badly damaged QQ edit:yes I know I should have just used a sewing kit but I was on a all green kick that day.
-
I've generally found most people on the hardcore servers to be generally nicer and less likely to shoot you for fun.

You also forgot the winy beggers who use that annoying voice like "oh god please help me I don't want to die" or "please I'm starving" and the only reason there is any degree of compliance is because they have a gun and I don't. Don't get me wrong I've asked a random player for food but it was "Hello, ah I'm starving to death, do you have any food or would you rather test your shotgun on me." the lovely gentleman gave me some food and we chilled while he did some spread test's on the shotgun.

Dog's and Horses, Seems I'm gonna stick with bikes and fleshlights, just seems like a good way of announcing "Hey Hey!!! I'm OVER HERE, YES ON THE GIANT ANIMAL, YES THIS IS MY FIRST TIME HERE, WHERE IS THIS? OH NWAF OH SHIT!!" you are dead.
-
15. "Unwritten rule's" is more of a phrase then anything to be taken literally 16. You must be seen to be shot.
-
People who's Mic is constantly on despite telling them several times how to turn it off, but they have no fucking clue and think that your mild frustration is love so they ask you to be friends, but god dammit I don't have a gun. Then we get held up by bandit's and they murder him for me (and let me live), thank you bandit's
-
was that you farming a single bush? I switch bushes I don't feel like it makes any difference, just habit from berry picking.

The first virus was made in Taiwan, but it broke after the first 5 infection's. Those boxes are standard shipping boxes for thing's like sheets or what ever if you've worked in a walmart or something like that you'd have seen a bunch.

When you switch from stable to experimental and back again it only download's the files needed for the correct version to function. Its does not download the entire game again.
