    We can go lay on the roof of the in town forestation in Elektro, staring at the stars and shooting players!

    Will somebody please adopt a NOOB?

    If a noob is properly loved, given a good home, and trained, they are very loyal and can live a productive life. You on the other hand seem rather churlish and lack a shift key. Perhaps we can meet and I can help you out.

    Mooky, what you doing on Saturday night? I will be frolicking in the woods near Mcta. Without my pants...

    Why is hardcore so underpopulated?

    I am serious. The engine and movement are so bad. Most of the time, it can be even easier to get people. With 3PP you have to deal with people being more able to spot you as you move or as you sit. With 1PP, people are so bumbly in cities and towns that you can sit quite easily along known traffic areas and slaughter people. It makes camping easier in many ways (though wall camping isn't as easy). There is nothing harder about either style in the grand scheme of things, but I do so love how people seem to think Hardcore is for l33t players. Better PVP players run on the regular servers since there isn't enough action on the hardcore servers.

    Mature at 28... why you... This 36 year old plays with a 34 year old and a 27 year old. We are on the East Coast (the 34 year old and myself in Maine, the 27 year old in Florida). Add PhillyT to steam and you can run with us.

    Why is hardcore so underpopulated?

    Why, 1PP players just use the games inherently terrible movement and visibility rules to increase their ability to survive by only playing on servers were everyone is bumbling around as though they are in a halo after a ski accident. I play quite a lot of both. 3PP is much more difficult as a whole. Better players and much more tactical. 1PP normally comes down to sitting in an area and sticking your head out just a tad, waiting for someone to stumble around and wander into your field of fire.

    Why? What is the worst that can happen, you get shot and killed? Who cares. If you love the game, you embrace that mad first 2 or 3 hours of wearing crazy mismatched clothes, hunting desperately for food and a gun, ANY GUN! I adore it. Meeting and interacting with other players is what makes this game awesome.

    The Unwritten Rules of Dayz

    Jam Jar does some good videos. I like that video too. It was a neat experiment.

    Would you play a game with real permadeath?

    It would need to be a free game, because nobody would buy a game like that. No. There are other ways to punish players for playing recklessly.

    You mean people like the 1PP crutch.

    I do this pretty regularly. Add me to Steam if you play on the East Coast at the 8:30pm - 11:00pm EST. Steam name is: PhillyT
  12. Ah okay, I thought you were ridiculing the appearance of the port!
  13. ISn't that the Xbox though? The difference between the Xbox and the Xboxone is quite significant.
  14. The part where you try to jam a Radeon 7850 into a netbook. Try it. I'll wait.
  15. I have Facebook, but I just don't get why Twitter is even a thing. And hash tags drive me bonkers! I sometimes wonder if I should maybe do something. I think I made a Twitter account once.
  16. I don't use or like Twitter. Does that make me a bad person? I wouldn't follow Dean anyway. He frustrates me. Heck, I can't even tell what he is saying in that tweet!
  17. They confirmed nothing. BI can barely produce playable PC games andDean has even less experience developing for consoles than PC (which would be almost less than zero). This is Dean talking about skinnable rabbits and flint knapping swords.

    Those two games are almost completely different. Dark Souls is an arcade RPG with very little real roleplaying elements. Skyrim is an Elder Scrolls game which is a FPS style traditional RPG. It has the Elder Scrolls name versus a Japanese RPG. It has little to do with ease. I finished both.

    There is nothing easier about Regular servers. The advantages of being able to move without having people watch from behind walls is just as great as being able to look over walls. I generally only play on the ARC server because here in the North Eastern United States, that is the only hardcore server that has more than 10 players at any given time. The ARC server is a hive of scum and villainy.

    Blaze B95 Rifle

    I enjoyed Blaze, but it really is the worst long arm in the game currently. With the frequency of SKS, it has no real value.

    The Unwritten Rules of Dayz

    The advice is primarily intended to prevent people from wandering around. If you you can't be seen, you won't get shot. You can reveal yourself when you are in a positions to dictate the terms of engagement. It gives you the ability to increase your survival.

    Why is hardcore so underpopulated?

    Because of if 3PP is like a free wall hack then Hardcore is like playing with blinders and a lobotomy. Hardcore is less interesting and prone to just being a bunch of jerks. I have met all of 2 players who weren't there just to shoot people on the ARC hardcore server. It is fun for what it is, but the lack of variety in player encounters makes it boring.

    The most underrated City on the Map

    I quite like Vybor. Super market, like three piano buildings, a school, two of the jail door buildings that spawn guns, a nearby factory complex, the military base is just east of it, and best news of all, barely anyone bothers to visit it.

    With Rocket starting his new studio

    Wait a minute, why would anyone currently employed by BI go with Dean anywhere? Dean doesn't have the money or experience to produce anything. He doesn't have a publishing company, the equipment, or resources to start an effective development studio. He has never produced a single product. The idea that anyone would jump ship with him with any real talent is a strange assumption. Anyone with talent know better than we what Dean represents. He, by his admission, is an idea guy. Idea guys don't run good companies. They contribute to good companies. Dean will go back to New Zealand and obscurity.

    Remove guns from the game.

    I play too much COD. On Black Ops II, I was 9th prestige in less than 2.5 month. In Ghosts, I hit Prestige 5 before realizing the game sucked. I played similar amounts of MWF3 and BO1. To try and connect DayZ to COD, which is really more like a basketball game than a military sim, if absurd. I keep seeing people try and make that connection, but they couldn't be more dissimilar. This of course ignores the fact that part of what makes DayZ so different is the fact that they engine is complete and utter garbage. I love the game, but lets be real, the engine is a second rate piece of crap. That the game is still so amazing and enchanting is a tribute to the concept and the players.
