Window Licker

No I didn't enjoy any of your stuff, I just left your body to rot, bait for the next victim...

The ironic thing is that while people are server hopping thru the Airfield's sitting, waiting, hoping no-one is t-bagging their char during the 30 seconds, I'm prancing thru the countryside tripping over guns. I've been on my way to an airfield and thought, fuck it I have my guns and ammo what do I need from there.... I laugh on the inside when people say they "need" to server hop, you don't need to. At the start of the life I described above, the coast was cleaned out, I did follow roads nor maps just ran and looked for buildings.

Half Life 3 confirmed. How long ago did this happen, I searched the forums to find if this had been posted turns out horde has been very well used in the past.... edit: post found: 14-Jan forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164873-lots-of-zombies/

Yeah recently started playing hardcore myself, while the last patch was having some major issues I decided to wait for the smoke to clear and played Skyrim for a good portion of the weekend. when I logged into DayZ again I just decided to play a hardcore instead, and I actually like it a lot the only thing is I can't look at myself cos I'm vain like that.

^^do you remember where approximately you where? I was on the road northbound, I heard an infected scream, I though initially "sound bug" but given it was the complete sound followed by more I turned 2-3 came from the woods on the west side of the road I started swinging my axe about, then more started coming I stepped about 5-10 yards into the woods to actively hunt any in the area. After that another 2-3 came running from the east so the woods on the far side of the road. for someone to round up that many and have them follow to there would have been an effort for something that would not likely be discovered.

I had just passed through Shakhovka, I'd been successfully killing infected and taking booty from the untouched town, in Gorka was the same thing, had to clear the infected to get access to the booty. so unless they ran from Polona....

I met one that I remember mainly because we where new spawns, there was another fellow as well we ran together for a while on our way to Cherno, till I de-synced.

Exactly, He's down killing new spawns and your compliance just makes it easier, do the zig zag, try punching him out he's gonna kill you anyway what do you have to lose?

The guns are still around, the spawns have just been spread around a lot more, which I like I've found M4's in locations that aren't the military base, although the spawn rate is particularly low for those locations. I've found that getting guns is generally fairly easy away from the cities, however the ammo spawns are lower in those area's in my experience.

I quietly push through the abandon town, I know they are here, they are every where since the infection took hold I shouldn't be here but driven by hunger I push on. I see some poor wretch standing swaying in the road silently, I take a breath and move slowly behind her. I hear the sound of a foot scuff on the gravel, "was that me?" I looks around careful not to move too much. Then it happens the blood curdling scream I turn to see him looming over me mindlessly attacking I try to run but now she is in on it along with a half dozen others that I'd crept past. This is how a I die a feast for the infected, I wonder will there be enough left of me to become one of them..... Daytime: lolz running past the zombies you can't catch me Night play can be fun, but at the same time I currently do not play night because turning the gamma and brightness right up ruin's the experience, but is a must in order to stay competitive with the other night time players. Aside from the obvious correction to the gamma exploit I have found that I tend to have a black line and for me to see anything I need to have my light on (not very stealthy) or have it silhouetted against the horizon. Ive seen this image floating about from a reddit poster but it was a little too bright for my liking night need's the darkness but not so much I can't even see my hand's. How do you feel about this situation? do you just gamma up and roll out? is this pic too dark/not dark enough?

Rice is a good way to boost it but it will dehydrate you, so eat near a water pump.

I want a boom box my character can carry on their shoulder that only plays "Staying alive"

DAMN YOU DEATH DEALER!!! yes "Booty" is a much better word.

Yep, sometime I get bored and decide to wait till the next patch, sometimes I get dayz'd out and decide to play/do something else, this is "game breaking" but it's an alpha and this kinda of thing and worse (people can't play cos they login dead) will happen.

awww I was really interested to see the outcome, I'd watch that on youtube particularly if you had footage of the hunters and hunted to show a timeline of whats happening tactically.

That's awesome, need's a touch of spraypaint tho good way to get shot.... rarest item in game.. humanity

5th person to make this topic in the last 4 hours..... here is a link to everything the Dev's post thru any social media outlet.... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/131-devtracker/ congratulation's you now know as much as everyone else

From radio's found in building's, Yes I'd love to turn one on and either sit or bail and see if anyone comes to investigate. mp3 players, maybe I'd rather hear the person seeking up on me in game in general, no the bird's and infected are music enough for me, some games music is key but in DayZ music would kill the mood.

KoS is something that any "system" will not really get rid of, worst case scenario the idea's proposed increase KoS to prevent people from having functioning vehicles and trained medics etc. If I could lay claim to resources in this fashion aka by making it so no-one else can use them why wouldn't I? a small clan could KoS everyone and harvest all the car's, helicopters, books and beans on the server. In stage 2 of this scenario the clan would have all the books and the members would have players who don't participate in active combat because they have read all the books and they are too valuable to lose. By this point the only people who could knock them out of dominance on the server is another clan who has raped a different server in a similar fashion, killing everyone who dares set foot on it. While you mean well those of you reading this know it's exactly what would happen, in DayZ we are not contained by normal rules and as much as we'd like to think everyone will play nice, a portion will see a way to rise above the peons and carve out a nice little paradise in a zombie apocalypse. While Dean has not said it directly, he has said that he want a rise in improvised weapons and reduced spawns for the traditional gun's but that is something we will have to wait for some time to see how it plays out.

Yeah right up in the top corner almost far NW up the wooded hillside there's the layout for a complex, prison sounds good, I thought maybe a resort given that it's surrounded by forest. I went up there for some explore a few week's ago, found the dry lakes and all that, I was well fed and watered before I left didn't need to consume anything until I hit Stol The hunting aspect sound good, I wonder how many will head up there to hunt the hunter the crack of the mosin will be more then a dinner bell for the infected.....

oh no I played during the day with gamma all the way down, fake night exploit ftw!!

Depends on the motivation's of the player I guess Night time, It's dark, hard to see you can pass 30 ft from a zombie and not know, only to have it come back and bit you later say if you accidentally aggro a few and try to run, Every time you turn your flashlight on your setting a beacon off to anyone in the area, it's tense even when you hear something, you wonder is that a Z or a player. It add's a lot imho but like many have said until they fix the gamma exploit, the choice is be an exploiter myself or play at a disadvantage.

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/131-devtracker/ just going to leave this here......... cos the dev's already know......

I know what you mean, you need to have certain setting to allow the gamma exploit to work. The fact that it doesn't work on particular setting is an indicator that this can be fixed so the gamma can't be exploited in game. I don't remember but I thought I had to turn clouds on to make that work. But never so dark that I can't see my hands, before I played with the clouds I literally could only see the horizon, with stars and everything below was black, not even a hint of anything there. In the pic I posted there is actually street lights but I felt I could see too much of the characters so I dimmed it down, for a full night without a moon, I'd say a bit darker still. But then a full moon that is actually pretty bright although not nearly what can be achieved via clouds and sliders. From my experience night is a bit broken, I'm not saying it's completely screwed just need some loving and the gamma/brightness/clouds exploit dealt with to make it a more attractive and fair playing environment.
