    Mosin burlap wrap with grass

    looks like crap, IMO. If you like it though, great, enjoy it!

    Deer Stands - What Do You Want To Spawn There?

    ammo....with deer spawning below. I've always wanted to harvest an entire herd.

    Where is everybody?

    God I love it. Let's me hunt boar, cow and deer in peace. Set up a fire, cook their flesh and feast. Hell, I've even had a chance to fish. I'm loving the concentration of players these days. It let's me survive and thrive, instead of sneaking around like a neurotic mouse.

    DayZ Confessions

    I once shot an innocent chinese woman in the face because she was force-feeding me something....only after I killed her did I realize it was a Pipsi. Sorry Paul.

    hit detection

    I don't really see it as a 'complaint' but more of a suggestion to the Devs. It should probably be moved to the appropriate sub-forum though.

    Has Anyone Else lost Faith in Dayz?

    It is comforting to me, that I can not visit these forums for a couple months, come back and see that topic content has not changed. It's like putting on a pair comfy jeans. Thanks guys.

    AKM

    You certainly do seem to have a hate on for the Mosin. I am a mosin fan (I own 4 IRL from various states of production) and realize the limitations of the firearm. Can I get a Mosin to fire consistently at less than 3 MOA, yes, but it requires a fair amount of effort. Can I get a mosin to fire 3.5-4 consistently? Damn right, give me 15 minutes, some card stock, oil and sandpaper. The mosin, to be truly accurate in the modern sense, does require some effort. To turn a poorly accurate mosin into a decently accurate one does NOT require a gunsmith. It's called shimming and fitting the stock, which can be done with cardstock, oil and sandpaper. The mosin has a relatively thin-walled barrel, so free-floating it usually makes accuracy worse, the needed fix is a consistent pressure point around 2/3s down the length of the barrel. Your comment about a cracked crown made me laugh, IF you found one with a cracked crown and shot it, you'd be classified as an idiot. I have sorted through dozens of crates of mosins and have yet to see one with a crack in the crown. If you did find one, all you'd need to fix it is a hacksaw and a chamfering tool. I do agree with your modern optics point, putting a LRS scope on a mosin requires a lot more work than what one would think. A bipod? You could bubba that sucker on in 5 minutes. Anyway, tl;dr time. I own many mosins, I like rehabing mosins, they can be made fairly accurate, fairly quickly with stock components. They will never shoot sub-moa.

    Standalone Priorities - The Big One

    So, let's move your process to an industry I have experience in. You are suggesting I paint the walls, then install the structural framing? madness man, utter madness. Someone else said it before me, but I'll re-iterate. You add core features in first, to get the framework in place, then during Beta, you polish those core features (bug fixing etc). Why spend time fixing a bug in a core component, when you're not sure if the next addition to the core component is (or isn't) going to cause more bugs to crop up in the component you just debugged?
  9. Perhaps you're quieter than I am. I also seen to agro the zombies, even when I'm trying to be sneaky.

    What happened to the Melee?

    Yes and no, you can use an axe to loosen the soil to make hand digging easier. Hard on the cutting edge of the axe though. Kind of makes me wish there was an entrenching tool in game, that could be an effective melee weapon (stats slightly lower than axes) while still being usable for digging....if digging is ever a thing in this game.

    You and who are an AKM?

    What happened to the Melee?

    A shovel?! My god man, get thineself an AX!
  13. It doesn't work like this anymore as Zombies have superhuman (or would that be undead?) sight and hearing. They often times spot me at the edge of my render distance.
  14. Meh, people are going to complain. Most people are whiners, it's just the way it is. Internet or RL, when someone doesn't get exactly what they want, when they want it, they feel they are entitled to a tantrum. tl;dr- for the majority of the population life is a shit sandwich, now take a bite.
  15. Sure, we all paid for it. No one forced anyone to buy and the disclaimer was presented loud and clear before purchase. That being said, people are allowed to bitch and moan, in fact, that's what most people do best. So by all means, continue to do so, just don't act all surprised an angry when the majority of rational people point out for the thousandth time that you agreed you were buying a game in an unfinished state. tl;dr- You have the right to complain, you don't have the right to pretend you were ripped off because you agreed to buy an incomplete work.

    What is good about this game?

    massive, like OPs troll thread

    My team and I are starting a Berezino Mafia

    okay then. You just made an offer I absolutely can refuse. Not starting off on the right foot here.
  18. Another one of these threads huh....

    Lag or Hack?

    this is a tough one, because the start of the video makes it look like a hack, but I've seen some players desyncing doing very similar stuff. The main reason why I believe it was most likely a desync on his part is at the very end of the video, as you are strafing around him, he doesn't even move. Then you die, from ongoing bloodloss plus the hits you took at the start of that final encounter. I mean, it could be a hacker, sure, but the way that character acted it seems more likely a desync scenario. However, if there is a new 'lagspike'/'lagswitch' hack available, then that would most likely be the cause. I've played with friends from the UK, and when they were desyncing badly it looked an awful lot like this. I'm not saying it is definitely a desync, but I think it's the most likely. I'm glad to see that you weigh others' arguments before dismissing them out of hand </sarcasm>
  21. All survivors are Dutch and wear wooden clogs. The 'variety' of shoes in the game is a result of drinking the fetid Chernarus water.

    Can we get an option to turn off the heavy breathing?

    Or you could just remember the breathing is coming from the game... Maybe.
  23. Leo Balzac

    What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?

    Yeah that was definitely a hack. The extreme desync always shows as the player running in a straight line then disappearing. Always.

    The UI

    I like the new system to be honest. That's only my opinion, however. Feel free to disagree.

    WTF my character needs to poop! Help please!

    Yes, my apologies, I forgot that step. Hopefully in a future update the Devs will implement adult diapers, so that you can poop anywhere and just remove the diaper.
