Multikey was the problem. Thanks man, you are a lifesaver! The only issue I see with this is that you have to press the macro key to disable the macro. Pressing W does nothing. However, it is a small price to pay.

As someone who also plays ARMA3 and its varying mods/missions, this was a godsend. Not that I didn't know, but now I know in much greater detail about penetration and ricochets. If only, indeed.

cry more. no wonder 1PP servers are empty, all the tears from the 1PP elitists are flooding them.

Thanks. I have seen this one before, cant remember if it was here or reddit... but I am still holding out hope that I can make one work with the software I already have, without downloading yet another. Actually, I would love to see them put an actual autorun bind into the game...but I hold out less hope for that, than I do for a bicycle next patch.

You misunderstood. There is no time allotment that you must meet. MANY people only play when a new patch is released, and then only briefly enough to see what is "new". This isn't a guild in WoW haha, come and go as you please. Spend 30 bucks now and be done with it. Play when you can without thinking you have to meet some kind of schedule. It's all good.

I knew I shouldnt have held out hope. Doesn't work for me, whether I use it on the mouse or the keyboard, hardware or software playback. Really have no idea why :(

Well, not really. Every time I tried to make one, I was able to get it to toggle on... and it never turned off. I had to relog in order to get the macro to shut off. I'm working coffee now, so once the cobwebs clear I'll be trying this.

Hot shit, I'll be all over that with my morning coffee. Thanks dude!

Good riddance to him and all his nasty little screecher subscribers. Maybe they will follow him to that other game and leave this one to those whose balls have already dropped.

seriously? that works?

What I meant was the built-in macro software that comes with the logitech and corsair keyboards/mice. I mean, you can make the macro, but it doesn't seem to be recognized while the game is running.

I wish someone could get this working with the G-series keyboards, or the Corsair software. I am to the point where I would pay someone who could figure out how to make an autorun macro work for those.

holy hell, what is that wall of text? learn some proper sentence and paragraph structure if you want to voice a valid rant.

Gladiator style. Fight to the death. No one is cuffing and robbing me, I'll die and respawn first.

I have been sniping since I picked up my first mosin in january, and I have honestly never used those impact points to walk my shots in to the target. I use dayzdb map to get rough range and then use the lay of the land to adjust accordingly. I also don't take more than 2, MAYBE 3 shots at any target before allowing them to vacate the area- even with a 3rd shot, your are giving way too many audible clues as to your location. Using those puffs of dust or splatters of blood is a crutch. If you are an inexperienced sniper then by rights you have no business trying to reach out and touch someone at 500m+, and if you attempt to then you have no one to blame but yourself for missed shot after missed shot. This isn't CoD or BF4- weapon dispersion alone will cause a perfectly aimed shot to miss by a great deal. I have killed well over 100 people with the mosin, and the vast majority of them were under 400m because the accuracy of the weapon beyond that range is spotty at best, especially in the heat of battle. My favorite sniping spots are all situated within 300-400m of the area I intend to shoot my target, because I hate wasting ammo just to scare someone. If I shoot, I intend to kill. And I am not confident with the mosin killing people at extreme range.

This is crap. That puff of dust you see at 1000 meters was taken through a lens that far exceeds the 8x magnification afforded by the LRS. In game, before the last patch, the blood spatters and impact hits you could see were greatly exaggerated, to say the least, to be able to see them at such a distance. So yeah, they were definitely "fake" as far as that goes. Know your range, know your weapon and its limitations, and don't waste ammo on uber long range shots.

I have had it happen only with the SKS. And I have handed it of to other guys, where it worked fine; I pick it back up and it is still glitched. Relogging helps, but even after a relog it would still bug out at the most inopportune time.

Classes are cool in BP but its a different game altogether. DayZ is supposed to be much more freeform; excel with what you have available, not by relying on an ability inherent to a "class."

Your user name is full of whining, your first post is sodden with tears. Follow me to my unicorn tree. It needs watering.

Fuck everyone. If you ain't in my squad you are as good as dead if I get a shot at you. Nothing personal.

Night time is not forced, and neither is accelerated time on servers. I want to institute a day/night cycle on my server, but after the recent patch, my server (on gameservers) is no longer on a 4-hour restart schedule, but 2 hours- which they claim they cannot change. Accelerated time on my server, to add in nighttime, would mean the sun would literally be shooting across the sky. Top it off with the horribly clunky night time lighting mechanics, and the players who abuse the gamma/brightness settings, and you can see why no one likes playing night.

Cannot be unseen...

You can still one-shot a zombie with an axe, but I find it very difficult indeed.
