KingOfTime

Last guy that tried this on me and my friends took a 7.62 round from 500m lol.

Quick tip- KoS anyone wearing a gas mask, payday mask, or burlap sack.

I hear its a great place to find some broken legs.

Dude....youre 6 years late, this phrase isnt exactly new.

Theres no way youre sabotaging a railway with a crowbar lol. It would be nice to be able aquire a road-rail vehicle. Like a truck or something that could drive on the tracks....if for no other reason than if they have railroads, someones got to inspect them, and that someone probably drives a road-rail vehicle. If I cant get in a real train, at least let me pretend my truck is one.

I dont think its very hard to be a Hero...just listen and watch what the other person does....the in game "body language" meaning movements, can tell you a lot. For example, last night I was scanning the factory between Nizhnoye and solnichniy because me and a buddy saw a fresh killed bambi. Sure enough, a guy with a burlap sack on his head and a mosin in his hands showed up on the top of the building. He was killed. We went to see if he had any ammo for no other reason then curiosity. 2 mins later another player shows up, armed only with a fireaxe. We tell him to put it on his back and kneel. He does so and even puts his hands on his head. We took all of the ammo, but left the gear for him. As we were leaving the guy we shot respawned and showed up(while whistling "winter wonderland", along with a couple of bambis not too far behind. We killed him again, and left the building. As we were leaving I turned around to see that the guy we helped was joined by another on top of the building we didnt recognise wielding a splitting axe. Another death. After the suspected spawnkiller returned and took strange pleasure in asking me to murder him, we found a safe place to log. I promptly sent a message over steam to the player we thought we helped. We met up in game, gav him 100 rounds for his new mosin, and spent the next few hours patrolling for bandits. Eventually we were engaged at kamyshovo by a group of 4. After an unfortunately timed server restart I was killed and my new friend and old friend (and rando bambi that got a mosin) got 3 of them before the last one either logged or ran. I returned to the town, and the guy I gave the gear to offered to give me back all the gear I let him have. I, being awesome, of course said that I gave it to him, so it was his and logged off for the night. Its not hard being a hero, but it is harder then being a kos bandit. As long as youre smart about how you move around you wont be spotted, and even if you are most bandits are terrible shots anyway.

3 of us engage 3 spawn campers. 2 of us have our bullets stopped by collision glitches, the third couldnt get an angle. They log. 10 mins later we notice movement, so I go to check it out. the most m4 rounds Ive ever seen in game whizz by my head. They ghosted in with an additional 3 people. Had to run to find cover. The dirt dances in the air as the bullets strike in front of me. Im hit once, twice, 3 times...almost to safety...the fourth round drops me.

I kill spawn campers/defend bambis that arent psycho in exchange for their shoes. Of course, if they refuse, they eat some lead, but most are either confused, or find it really funny. Especially since foot damage doesnt seem to be implemented. Also..I dont wear shoes...so why should anyone else?

I would like to see a pick-up truck with w weapon mount in the back(that you have to craft), that you could mount an assault rifle onto. Nothing crazy, just some steel tube and a swivel mount. I think you might see vehicles like these in this universe, and they wouldnt be too OP either. The limited ammo of the assault rifles/exposure of the shooter ensures this. Of course, if something like a S.A.W. is put in game then maybe not...but disabling the vehicle/shooter, even if armed with a full auto weapon, shouldnt be too hard...as long as they dont get .50 cal turrets. Thoughts?

Does anyone else remember running down hills to kill zombies in the mod? All you had to do was run down a steep hill and they would run so fast they would actually run into the air and fall to their deaths. Maybe some of them could be a little faster...but not like the mod lol.

The AK variant that I used to own did not have a compensator, but it was chambered in 5.45x39. The recoil was basically non existent, but the lack of any kind of compensator added a lot of muzzle climb in between shots. All I really know about the 5.56vs5.45 is that the 5.45 will have better penetration, but the 5.56 will cause more damage(potentially, Ive heard that if the bullet doesnt fragment on impact, then it doesnt have much stopping power). In an apocalypse scenario like DayZ, I would take an AK over an M4. Why? Cause an AK can have the shit kicked out of it...even having the bolt get rusted shut, and as long as you can hammer the thing to be unstuck, it will still fire and cycle just fine.

Source maybe? and maybe a description of the 5.56 and the damage it can cause. I have an sks...but Ive never shot any flesh with it lol.

Just sayin, but if he played the alpha for warz then he didnt buy it on steam.

My understanding is that it doesnt heal you at all, rather it just gives you more blood(effectively).

I too got burned by war(z), and realised it when they had nothing working and the "alpha" only lasted a month before the beta started. That being said, I still think that this game is great, and will improve over time. Of course, an alpha isnt the time to have fun lol, its time to test! Also, I think Rocket probably wants to have a decent name for himself and not become hated like sergey titov....I feel like I need to clean my keyboard after typing his name.

I hate frying pans and all who use them. So my vote is no.

I dont KoS ever, with a few exceptions- Airfields and firehouses, basically any military loot spawn I KoS. People just get too jumpy at military locations...although I did meet 1 cool guy at the NE airfield once. also KoS people killing newspawns. Other then that, I only kill if I am seen, and the other person doesnt make contact through chat, or if when I talk to them I get silence. Not every one is a KoS player. Last week I ran up on 2 separate guys running by cherno near the woodline. Both times I just ran at them, said I was friendly, and kept my mosin up and on them lol, and asked if the needed help(they didnt). Both of them had m4s on their backs and neither of them attempted to pull their gun, nor did the circle around to flank after they left. I only traveled with 1 other guy I met in game. We ended up at the school in electro with multiple m4s and mosins engaging from a distance. The place was filled with newspawns and there were 2 other guys( I think) with mosins with us that we met there. Me, the guys with the mosins, and my friend defended these newspawns until our deaths. It was epic. tl;dr- Airbases/firehouses are deathtraps, dont trust anyone there. ALWAYS make contact without the other guy being able to see you, and if they are silent, blow them away.
