Just opened a can of bean soup w/knife in RL
Greaves replied to Wiggin Miller's topic in General Discussion
No reason you couldn't put the can of beans on something in a nearby house, or on the ground. Would work just as well. -
He was asking for kills - but you're right, amount of people helped is more important.

I want them to fix the gamma exploit even more than i want binoculars, and that says something. I only experienced a full-moon night once, and it was beautiful. Especially the sunset, the game looks completely different. And when night sets in, everyting is twice as tense. So awesome. I have faith in you, BI.

I've been shot through the sheet metal housing of one of the hangars at the NWA. Don't know with what weapon, i got hit once, in the leg.

7, two days ago, within one hour. 5 of them fully geared confirmed bandits, 2 idiots who tried to kill me with shovels. Used an M4. I did eat some M4 bullets, which ruined some of my gear. Mate patched me up with Saline. He got 5 kills. All of this in Berezino.

Cherno has been quiet the past couple days.
Greaves replied to Johnny Depth's topic in General Discussion
Forget Cherno, NE Airfield and Berezino is where it's at now. God the chaos i was in there lately, unbelievable. People are figuring out they shouldn't run to Balota if they spawn on the NE coast. Killed 7 bandits in Berezino within an hour 2 days ago. My mate killed 5, same place, time and server. Day before that i watched a big firefight with loads of people at NE Airfield. -
<<<< Grass density needs to be improved. >>>>
Greaves replied to Zeeb (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I tried to hit a steady target from about 600 meters. Not 1 of the 10 bullets i fired hit him, although the zeroing and aiming was right. It just hit somewhere to the left or right from him, for some reason. Probably because it's actually hard to hit a target at that range in real life. -
Why do I keep spawning in the same place?
Greaves replied to Baby Jesus (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
When i started playing for the first time i spawned at Kamenka. Had no idea where i could go, so i ran away from the sea to see what was inland. Ran into the militairy base under Pavlovo. Got my first M4 within minutes of playing. Good times. Anyway, people who complain about spawn locations being the same every time have bigger things to worry about, like not dying so much. -
Does anyone play with shadows off to see people better?
Greaves replied to joeymp's topic in General Discussion
By the time it hits Beta (probably end 2014, according to the devs) things will probably be optimised a lot more, so your system won't have as much trouble with the game, hopefully. -
Addiction thread: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/162035-dayz-addiction/?hl=addicted#entry1632197 Like i said in there, i'm addicted enough to roam the forums a lot while i'm at work. Been taking a 5 day break, but tonight we're rocking it again with the full group. I got around 70 hours playtime.

Hmmm. They did it in Stalker: Call of Pripyat though. Don't know if that was banned anywhere.

If he talked to them first, and then shoots them, it's not KoS. OT: I've had this happen, and the only reason they were following me around is to smash my head in with a crowbar whilst i wasn't looking. That was their plan, anyway. May they rest in peace. There was one guy who had the nerve to boss me around while i was giving him food and water. He told me to go to the shops in Berezino. He probably had some buddies waiting there, but i didn't wait to find out. When i didn't react to his liking, he tried to attack me. Idiot.
-
most of the people i encounter in the game were like 'hey im recording' lol
Greaves replied to gamer222's topic in General Discussion
Only time i've ever watched my own replays was during my tryhard Dota 2 days. Could be amusing here, i guess. -

Greaves replied to joeymp's topic in General Discussion
I play with everything on, and everything maxed. Don't even have a high end PC (although it's not bad) -
Don't say nonsense. People can gamma cheat at night. Are you saying that's not ruining it for everybody? Cause it is. I can't play nighttime till that shit is fixed. Server hopping is not as game breaking, but definately anoying for those who don't do it.
-
I don't stay in the same server merely for loot. I do it to try and meet the same players i met before. Besides, the server i play on restarts so often, loot is never a problem there. Unless an army of hoppers take everything 5 minutes after server restarts.
-
Good idea's. Some more: Lying down (with hands on head option) Pointing in a direction Picking nose (for laughs, mostly) Smoking (add sigarettes to the game as well) Sticking a needle in yourself/others (Will add more later)
-
Also, you're starving. Eat them beans, dude.

6. Hunting people who are in stages 1-4 Helping
-
All you loot hoppers, you do realise you're ruining the game for people who always stay on the same server?
-
I tried 10 servers when i started playing, and added 2 to my favourites. I always play on those 2. 1. 3PP:Off server on which i play when my friends don't play. There are usually around 5 people on this one, most of which are hoppers. 2. 3PP:On 24/7 daylight server, if my friends play. They prefer this server. Usually 35-40 people on. This server restarts quite frequently, (every 2 hours, i think) and when it does, you can join back in right away. (We're always hoping for a restart when we're near a sweet lootspot)
-
I've had mine wiped several times on 1 day, everytime just as i got weapons. It's to be expected. Luckely, my mates usually have some spare weapons, so i'm kitted out pretty fast again.
-
Well fuck. No clue as to how they could solve that.
-
Nighttime solution: Lock Gamma after allowing to change it 2 times. This should give you the option to change it to what you like, and test it ingame. After that, locked. Have a big warning message that sais YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE IT 1/2 MORE TIMES. I only like nighttime when the moon illuminates everything a bit, but i know players who like the utter blackness. (Hi KoS) So allow servers with moonless nights always, and servers with moon nights always.

It's a survival game. Dying is failing. If you get held up and comply, there's a chance you might not fail. Fighting back is failure for sure.
