Golden Child

You're a sick bastard. I play 100% situation orientated. For example i was in krasnostav and there were 2 players on the school. One of the guys fell off of the building and died so I decided to climb the ladder, look around talk into my microphone and the fella is gone, I even typed also and i walk around the top floor, peek in the window towards the small closet like room and surely enough, the guy is sitting there aiming down his sights straight at the door. So I put 1 7.62x39 rd right in his skull and he drops dead. I killed him there because he refused to communicate and clearly was not there for negotiations only for blood so i felt it was necessary. Also if you sound like a complete douche you're going to get shot the second you turn your back. But if you're wounded in a building with a broken leg and I have a stick of morphine damn right im going to give it to you. I'll share bandages and even saline. But if I see you kill a bambi for any reason besides him trying to knock you out im going to call you out on it, or if you're in an airfield and you look to be up to no good. TL;DR: I won't kill you for no reasoning, will offer medical supplies and even ammunition, but if you refuse to communicate or try pull something funny expect to see the "You Are Dead" screen. cya

Play on 20+ player servers, well over 500 hrs of gameplay, yet to see a single hacker. Never found a glitched mag or anything. Consider me lucky I guess. Haven't played in around a month and wont start playing until the experimental build out right now comes to stable. But I have seen videos and what not of hacking and its definitely out there. Also be sure you're considering it hacking and not being flanked. Good luck and happy alpha gameplay

I honestly do not have any friends on the internet, that when you say DayZ ask "what is that?" or "that sounds stupid". It all goes with the popularity and seniority of the name.

Dean for Christmas I want ^

So you spawn in Berezino and your storage container is in/near Vybor. Takes you a few minutes to work there. Not trying to start an argument just pointing out flaws.

You play in a group, get someone in your group/team/clan to open it for you. Simple fix followed up by a simple bypass. EDIT: Also if you delete that on death it will screw up the cycle yet again. You're getting raided or attacked by a group or even an individual, he kills you and what? Your container is gone so he only gets the ruined garbage off your back. Checkmate

Try going from a full sprint to a side step instantaneously, you'll more than likely trip or roll an ankle or blow out your knee or something. Maybe add a consequence such as a trip or a stumble from these sudden movements, which would make you want to maybe act like a real person rather than what the current situation is. Also to the poster on the first page, you're running through a field and you here a bullet come flying at you, hardly ever do you run side to side to evade a bullet, the only thing you evade by going side to side is an alligator :P . So basically add a tripping or stumbling consequence for these actions as well as a slight agility nerf. Good thread is good.

If respawning you consider a new complete person, then running back to your storage is stumbling upon a random tent/crate which a previous person had left there. It all depends how you look at it

No, he means when you connect to a server, and it just says please wait for x amount of time. Then you press escape and connect to another server with another timer. Not sure if this issue could be fixed by the DayZ team as it could be a server issue, also to OP, this isn't really a gamebreaking issue, highly doubt this will be fixed anytime soon.

Never heard of a game going from what should essentially be a developers only-alpha copy of a game, which is primarily for testing for the beta and future etc. to a fully functioning game which will satisfy you're needs. buy the mod for christ sake

Hey all, I've had the mod for quite some time now but haven't but much time into it, partially because when I play, my screen looks so much different than any streamers or youtube videos I've seen, not the debug monitor or anything but my character is all zoomed up on and it is foggy as all hell, so my main question is how come my game looks much worse and zoomed up than any youtuber or streamer, I'll use Frankieonpcin1080p for an example, my game looks like a damn near different game and I am unsure why, I have tampered with video settings so its not because my settings are on low or very low, I am unsure of the aspect ratios and where they should be, I picked the one where my hunger, thirst, ect. are all along the right hand border of my screen, will post screenies below of comparisons.

Frankies above (I printscreened so thats why the quality is poor, thats not the difference I am referring too. then mine, I had to window it to take a print screen screenshot but it feels different compared to the video and all other streamers and what not, anyone else see that also or am i just crazy

I nominate Irish for king of forums

You can't rush perfection.

Whenever I play i normally gather an improvised courier bag, and keep a handgun, canteen, and my melee weapon in there so I have no play with minimal resources, it makes it so i have to continuously travel if I want to eat and survive, oh and my trusty .22 :)

Lol, the fella' is trying to suicide to get a better spawn go crawl for an hour you deserve it.

This was actually a good thread to read, I agree with basically everything you said. Although still have no ideas that will 100% fix the issues you have stated.

Made me laugh

Hey all, I was recently thinking to myself about the persistent storage (crates, tents, whatever) being added to the game it raised a few of my concerns. - Makes the game more of a respawn-y type, removes the whole washed up on shore, tattered and have to scavenge for loot into the unknowns, and turns it into rush to your container for your gear back and proceed to TDM. - Relating to my point above, will this make more people take this as a Call of Duty game and just rush to their containers to grab an M4, and proceed to gun down every breathing moving thing they see. - Maybe the possibility of "suicide looters" basically making a persistent storage somewhere around a good loot spawning location, for example we'll say NWAF. You rush up there and make your stash, put all the loot you gathered from your trek in there, run to the airfield with a magnum and a speedloader, gun down anything you see and gather all the loot you find. - Will running through a forest be a more "effective" way to find loot while just running and looking for crates/tents be more rewarding than risking your character in a town? TL;DR: I feel like the whole having your loot safe in a crate 30 minutes that way after you respawn, ruins the feel of washing up on a beach with no idea what you're going to face or where to begin. Just a few positives to lighten the mood! - Makes tailing people and being unseen by the opposing player more effective than shooting them down. Maybe follow them to their storage? - Certain groups of survivors could control a town or territory making turf wars between two groups trying to keep their loot safe from the other group. - Bait containers ;) Any other thoughts?

This actually put a smile on my face, time to scout out some big cities without my lrs

You murdered someone and are denying being a murderer/bandit.

You should practice ambidexterity for left hand scratching action, also I'm not entirely sure how i feel about this story.

If he is server hopping up there, he'll be gone and nothing to worry about. If he is just a looter then I would wait outside of the building, & depending on how he is behaving and wearing and the circumstances talk to him or gun him down. But if he knows you're down there and you know hes up there as of right now it seems like he would out gun you and you'd simply have to move on.

BattlEye bans in waves if I'm not mistaken, so he should be gone sooner or later and chances are will return because of the games low cost. But when you knocked him out you should have checked to see if his clothing was ruined where you shot him on the hill, and if it wasn't ruined then it most likely was another guy, but the respawn timer after hopping servers make ghosting a lot less effective.

I agree, I'm currently sick of having my play session remain the same time, but with the realistic (24hr) cycle I would never be able to experience mornings, or even mid afternoon for that matter and mainly only able to play at dusk or night time. The 19.5 cycle seems like it would work well, giving everyone a variety and changing it up.
