That poor gun. What have they done to it?

A bit fail that it stops and starts midwords though. Having something like that engraved on a gun reminds me of some of those fail tattoos:

Sorry, I expanded my reply considerably while you were answering it seems.

He really doesn't have a point. His post is a rant about what "you" (presumably the contributors to this thread) does in the game. But noone has mentioned anything about how we play the game in this thread. On the other hand the very points that he rants about is something that his forum name (and location) advocates. So if he has a point, it is the most hypocritical point in history. Edit: also regarding your post (and this guys support), KoS is a legitimate playstyle in this game. There is a shitload of videos circulating proving that it is definitely not the best way to secure an entertaining experience in this game, but nevertheless a legitimite choice. The very point of this game is that players can choose this playstyle (as well as that they can choose not to), so you need to be prepared for it no matter what. There are several strategies, from KoSing right back, to being ultradefensive, or avoiding player contact altogether, or you can be friendly and take it on gut feeling, sometimes you will be wrong, but sometimes you will be right. Those latter experiences will be the ones you remember, and they will be worth the all the former ones. At least as soon as you learn not to get too attached to your gear, that is. I personally most like the time from newspawning and those couple of hours where I gear up, and where loot is interesting and encounters much more direct as I don't really care if they shoot me or not. As soon as I gear up I grow bored very quickly, to a point where I actually deliberately suicide or give away all gear to experience fun time again. That is how the current game is. It will change as more game play features will be added, but its the present reality of the game. I can fully understand if you don't find that interesting, but you can't say you weren't warned.

Says a guy named "Bambi Population Control".

Cya.

I disagree to a point. Because obviously the main factor for zombies is numbers. We simply need more of them, alot more. But once their pathing is fixed they can begin the serious work on their ai and tweaking their stats. This will also work in the direction of making them more dangerous, as for example the recent damage bug has shown us. And of course meanwhile the contiunous optimisation of the game will eventually mean more zombies.

According to the video I linked it is going to have SKS damage (uses same rounds).

AKM (with 30 and 75 round mags, and PSO scope attachable) in next experimental has been confirmed by Hicks in this video, as well as camp fires, new clothing, new huge city (bigger than Cherno, including new industrial building), working bow and more (jail glitch fixed):

"Dude, I'm friendly. I'm trying not to be a dickhead here!" you say after firing 4 KoS shots at them. I'm not blaming you for KoS, but "good guy" does seem to be a bit of a relative concept here.

Switch server?

:beans:?

I was there 2 days ago on a 40/40 player server and a hacker was massacring away at every armed and unarmed player in the area (teleporting, infinite m4 mag, and some kind of wallhack that spotted enemies miles away), and that was a lot of players. While Berezino might not always be action filled it is still atm your safest bet if you want to join the eternal deathmatch.

In my experience most of these "character wipe" threads are usually nothingbut people being killed during the logging out process, due to either ignorance of the logging out process, logging out in a populated area or just pure bad luck (there is really no 100% safe place to log out). Edit: To elaborate, your character stays on the server for 30 seconds after you log out. Plenty of time for any bad guys that stalked you (especially relevant at NWAF) to kill you.

Also current zombie AI is still placeholder, so there's not really any telling what it might do. It will soon be replaced and we will know more in the next devblog where the progress of the work in Bratislava will be mentioned.

You sure it wasn't just a ban on that server? A lot of servers have join=ban names because they are someones little loot paradise.

It takes a ridiculous amount of fuel to turn a human body into ashes by burning. I should think people have better usage of that fuel for other purposes in a survival situation.

There are some great suggestions in this thread (shovel needed for burying, ability to drag bodies etc), and I really hope they will implement some of those in the future. But until that happens I prefer having the current solution instead of not having the option to hide bodies at all. The hide bodies function, alongside the ruination of items, helps keep the eternal deathmatch at a manageable level. I can't even begin to imagine how out of control the current game would be without them.

Intense.

I can't see where the OP is asking for help in his post.

I played the game a couple of days before New Years Eve, and had the browser open in the background on a page that suddenly ran some video ad warning about the dangers of fireworks. It featured a loud exploding noise followed by a girl screaming. For a second I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

I had one character who still carried some green shotgun shells. Unfortunately he was killed a month or so ago, and since then I haven't really been able to grow attached to my characters. I guess mostly out of boredom, since once you're geared there is nothing to do other than get in firefights. I mostly enjoy those first couple of hours after spawning anew when loot is important and every single item you find is interesting. I actually went to Berezino today with my fully kitted character with the express purpose to die. Either in a firefight, and wanting that then suicide after having dumped all my gear. Turns out a hacker was haunting the place with his eternal m4-mag and leet teleporter skills, so I died a lot quicker than I thought. I returned with a few newspawns, but was killed as quickly by the hacker. Anyway, I switched server and began a new character, who has already found some cool stuff (spawned near ship and iound worn riders jacket, m4, 1911 pistol on it).

That is a bit on the weak side. A bullet could easily go through several things in a backpack. So 2-4 items would be more fitting depending on the caliber.

Sceptical spidey sense tingling with the fake character reset opening sequence played out as a regular experience (it is only a regular experience if you are not aware of 30 second log out countdown. If you are aware of that yit is actually possible to have a full DayZ SA career from its release without ever having experienced a character reset). It was confirmed by the time the "Ah, finally fully geared" sequence came around. It's a shame, because you got some nice points otherwise concerning server restart, vaulting, desync glitches etc.

Never heard of this server. And why is this threadworthy?
