These stupid "That guy at place X" threads are numb. Are we supposed to be impressed you killed a person? Like my cat bringing home a mouse proudly? If so, good for you. Are we expected to become upset over how this terrible game has hardened your once pure soul? I weep, really, I am weeping right now as I type this. Do you legitimately expect a person who dies while AFK to race to the internet and look for some meaning in his death? With 2 million buyers, you think he is here on this forum? Looking at your thread? Sorry honey, this event matters to not one single person other than you. But it seems special to you so enjoy.

Could be. Similarly, it seems like it can even be raining in areas nearby and spawns reduce. Not sure there is anything to it but that has been what I have noticed over the last week.

I had an odd thing today. I had no zombies from Polana to the inland construction site, all the way up to the village west of Berezino. This was during the rain. Rain stopped and I was forced to kill 7 just in that little town.

Why? The current system caters to both groups. Why do you care?

Why should it be 1pp only? Because people can't cut it? Hardcore is easier and safer. Feel free to play there. I have been enjoying it for that reason. You can be right on top of people before they even know you are there due to the horrible way character movement works.

I hit what I point at in both. Go get a hobby Gib, this white whale is going out to sea.

I killed six people that night. There was no luck. I pointed, fired a burst, people dropped. When I got popped by an sks, it was from 75m. This dispersion talk is seriously overstated.

And yet, with all this nonsense concerning dispersion, 17 people died in a 200m circle around Berezino pd Friday night. Give me a break. I finished a guy from the cafe window, firing into the church yard with the CQB m4...

As useless as an M4? Jesus Gib, you certainly aren't afraid of a little hyperbole.

People want it "fixed" because they are sallies. I have been playing Hardcore almost exclusively lately. It is a much easier experience, sure, but I have the choice to take it easy. Let people retain that choice.

I spent $30 on a game I have 250 hours in. I just watched Godzilla for $7 and it lasted me 2 hours. I feel perfectly happy with the cost to benefit ratio for both choices.

Were any of the duplicates you? I once killed my own clone and robbed my cloned body. There can be only one Lefty Stranger.

The engine isn't very good, but it is what DayZ gets because it is the engine BI owns. They know how it works, and it does the job passably well. And the idea that swapping to another engine is even viable is crazy talk!

Well really, how many conversations can we have over weapon dispersion, 3PP vs. 1PP, or wall morphing zombies? Sometimes things like this break it up a little! He brings up a good point. More money means little. They can only put so many people on the development team.

I have had this happen recently. I ran myself back to where I had logged out and found a zombie doing the attack animation over my body. I killed it and took my loot back, but that could be what happened.

It is easier to just make a random dispersion than try to put in sway. I really can't think of a game that can accurately model sway well enough to make it worth the potential motion sickness. I mean come on, on the first shot on a standing target, you can hit anything at 500 yards while standing. Try that in real life. The ranged shots in this game are absurdly accurate. I will say that pistols are completely odd, and the recoil on the SKS is stupid. The pistols need some work, especially the 1911. I have had a good run, hitting zombies with 4 out of 4 shots last night. The time before that, I shot at a zombie and the shot it 10 feet about his head from 40 yards.

Run from the coast and do it all over again. I am at my 86th hour with the same guy. He has been shot and left for dead, revived by a stranger once, woken up after a shoot out to find his enemy dead, abandoned more than a few dead friends, and killed 33 people. I have died at least 12 times by shooting, once by logging out and being eaten by a zombie (found my body with the zombie still swinging and got my stuff back!) rolled back twice, deleted character at least twice. I enjoy the game and you need to embrace the entire experience. I was crushed the first couple times I lost my full kitted guy. But you get over it. And the community is fine. There are lots of jerks, but that is what makes the game. Those few survivors you befriend make it worth while. You take the risk in the apocalypse. Honestly, I bet the number of bandits isn't that much different than what would really happen! Try again or disappear, nobody cares about you leaving. There have been 2 million players!

I own an AK47, AR15, 2 mosin, a couple 1911's, and several other guns. Try going to any shoot in this country and look at folks firing at 100 or 200 yards. You would be surprised how much different than your thought experiments with wikipedia Gib.

My buddies and I were running to meet up at NEAF. They ran into a guy with a broken leg outside of Svet. The guy warned them that hackers were all over the place in town and to run. They ran. So one thing to do: Tell other survivors!

To be honest, when you factor in the actual accuracy of a civilian shooter with little to moderate experience with the various firearms, the game is really extremely forgiving. Stick an AR15/M4 in the hands of your average AMerican and see how many shots they can put on a man sized target at 300 - 500 yards from a crouch.

Regardless of who it is, the project will be fine. I gave Dean the benefit of the doubt, but as I read his comments and watch his youtube interviews, I am now convinced he is the sort of guy who should be in a development team and not heading a development team. The sort of things he contributes, ideas, are all out there. They now need a firm head who can see to it that things are implemented effectively and efficiently. Dean is capable of neither of those things.

There are a disturbing number of hackers hanging out in Berezino right now. There seems to be a very high proportion of infinite ammo M4's in particular. Why Elektro continues to be considered the place to go I still don't get. Berezino is near the spawn points. If looking for a fight, why run all the way to Elektro only to get popped and have to do it all again?

I would leg it. I play my characters like they are real and vital humans.

Babymode? Oh, you mean the version without training wheels.

How many mosins have you fired? How many AR15 variants? Twice as accurate? Bull shit. You can post all day, but you are an obvious internet warrior. Go out and shoot some groups honey, then we can talk.
