Enfield. THe double barrelled is a weapon of last resort. The enfield is compotent at killing bandits at medium to short range. Just dont fire the enfield in a town unless you want a zombie train. Switch to a pistol in that situation.

Murdering, Cause I've Been Murdered
deepfried replied to Dr Medivac's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would think that applies to 90% of the people who have been playing for 2+ weeks. -
bandit skin back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
deepfried replied to blazingbrandon's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
we dont want the bandit skin back, though it many ways it might be preferable to the current situation. What we want is a more sophisticated and subtle system but which ultimately achieves the same thing, i.e. allowing friendly players to trust each other and build a team. -
Idea to help friendly players stay friendly
deepfried replied to Rungsberry's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
true, but its also true that taking skin morphing out has created at least as many problems as it solved. However i'm sure Rocket has mechanics in mind that we will see in due course that will address this issue in some way. He is on the record as stating that enabling team building is one of his next major design goals. -
The Main issue with this game
deepfried replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions

I think that the guns are one of the few things in this mod that doesn't need work or balancing. Maybe ammo spawn rate needs to be nerfed so people think twice about wasting bullets on low value just spawned survivors. As it is at the moment, making my way to NWAF from a new spawn on the coast, my inventory and backback are stuffed with ammo before i'm even half way there.

Ten Reasons why Kill on Sight is 'Realistic'
deepfried replied to Rogo Ignoscant's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Bullshit. People would group up for the most part. its human nature. -
Yeah its not as if Rocket et al don't know about the problem, they just haven't come up with a viable technical solution yet. This is a mod after all so in a lot of ways they are constrained by the arma2 engine. Just be patient, they'll figure something out.

Im not going to be the good guy anymore
deepfried replied to reaver91's topic in New Player Discussion
I too am going bandit... mainly out of boredom at this point. there simply is no end game other than PvP. Scavenging and dodging bullets and zed is only fun for so long until you have 1 too many backstabs or leg breaks.. and then its just quit or bandit. I think eveyone reaches this point one way or another. -
FPS in this mod is mostly down to poor optimisation server side. In game DayZ I might get 40 fps at best (15 or less on bad servers - yes it is that server specific!!) but in the core game Arma2 is get solid 60fps with vsync and the same settings (I always use vsync). In other words, chill and enjoy this alpha mod, warts and all.

Immersive explanation for senseless killings? It's obvious...
deepfried replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
:D ok I lol'd pretty hard at that. on topic though, yeah, this has been suggested as a canon justification for all the insane pvp. I liked it better with the suggestion that there be some physical manifestation of the infection (where infection corresponds directly to humanity) such as red eyes a la 28 days later. -
People spawning anywhere destroys tactical play
deepfried replied to betabob's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I've been reading this bullshit all over the forums. This is an alpha build' date=' that means its not feature complete... you cannot say anything is permanent at this point. So no, we don't have to get used to it or deal with it because it [i']can be changed and very likely will be changed during the alpha development process. -
Is Dayz using the wrong engine?
deepfried replied to steveba50's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I doubt there are many FPS engines that can cope with the sheer scale of the map (and number of players), but other than that I would like do see this game made in the stalker xray engine... yeah its buggy but a lot of the features we want in DayZ are already in stalker. -
Character death should carry more weight
deepfried replied to Lukio (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Just lower items spawn rates... that would make death (and loosing your equipment) much more of a problem. -
I agree breaking legs should be much much less common, but there is a fix for this already announced in the 1.7.2 build notes. Lets see how it pans out after 1.7.2 hits...

Rocket has said a number of time that these are "infected" type zombies rather then undead type. /thread

Zombie AI is completely and utterly broken
deepfried replied to PinkTaco24's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
They are hearing you maybe? I always find that 9/10 I aggro via sound. Its pretty easy generally speaking to stay of of their line of sight. -
Mistake 1 Mistake 2 Mistake 3 Hint: the best loot areas are the hottest pvp zones, you want to steer well clear of these unless you are making a "nothing to lose" suicide run (which is a totally valid tactic if you're a fresh spawn). And just to clarify: by "steer well clear" I mean do not dream of going within 1.5km.

During what times is it night?
deepfried replied to [email protected]'s topic in New Player Discussion
What you need to do is stop aiming for the servers that are half empty. Go for the full ones and wait for a slot. -
DayZ Bandwidth + ARMA 2 GB Download?
deepfried replied to Mockingbird's topic in New Player Discussion
the installed sizes on my system are: Arma 2: 7810mb Op Arrowhead: 7200mb -
I've dumped more than one in a house whilst swapping for some other side arm.

I have a mic... just doesn't work in DayZ for some reason.
