    DayZ Mod or Standalone?

    Not really.

    DayZ Mod or Standalone?

    The Mod used to be good. Now it's mostly just Arma with zombies. Go for the Standalone.

    Do DayZ and Teamwork mix?

    The only thing multiple people can accomplish faster in DayZ is, in general, loot stuff faster. When it comes to surviving, you're better off on your own. I've lost count of how many 3-5 man squads I've destroyed by myself.

    Gearing up is the best part of this game

    THE ONLY WAY I CAN HAVE FUN IN DAYZ IS IF I HAVE ALL THE GUNS AND I KILL ALL THE PEOPLE

    Getting stuffed faster than I can drink.

    LMAO, the two edits in the OP made me laugh out loud.
  6. You're playing the game how it's meant to be played, I see. /facepalm At this point they should start selling single slot servers.
  7. There shouldn't be a reticle at all. Once looting is fixed so that all loot (even stuff on top of dressers, for example) shows up in your "vicinity" menu, there's literally no need for the dot, either.

    Can Someone Explain What This Means?

    Yeah, I had 1,500 hours back in October. Since then I've barely logged 100. They're gonna have to do better than this to lure me back before full release on a consistent basis! I play for maybe ten hours each new patch that hits stable.

    Final Thoughts from an Early MOD player....

    I both agree and disagree. I once looked back at the Mod through rose-colored glasses, but after returning to it recently, I realized how evil nostalgia can be. Both have their pros and cons, however, we still have a voice when it comes to the Standalone. I suggest you stay rather than quit and offer constructive criticism rather than cynical sob stories of how much you dislike it. Even if it ends up as a steaming pile of crap, you can at least say you tried, right? (;
  10. Yeah, that shit has been around forever. I remember back when you could still crawl under the original hangars at NEAF I managed to kill a guy that was trying to shoot me through the floor of the hangar. Anyway, I got him, and I crawled under to loot him. As I was laying there a zombie ran under as well and killed me in one shot. This was before the "healthy" status was implemented, but I was definitely 100% healthy as the guy didn't even manage to land a shot. Long story short, it's been around for at least a year now.

    DayZ Standalone Alpha Review

    TD;DR. (too dark, didn't read) I'll never understand why people feel the need to change the default text color. Meh. Welcome to the forums, I guess.

    Tell us why we died

    What purpose would this serve? Whether or not you realize a bear is mauling you to death irl is kind of irrelevant, i'n'it? At the end of the day, you're dead.

    where can i find the most pvp?

    You'll find lots of PvP at my house when I get home on May 8th. Apparently my kids scratched my 80" Samsung LED TV. I'll probably KoS them, tbh.

    problem with saying "friendly"

    Shoot them first. Duh... -_-

    Modding Support?

    @OP: Is the new engine going to be a .pborlem for you? I'm here all night, guys.
  16. From every post you've made that I've read, it really sounds like you're just bad.

    Instanced Zombie Horde

    @surf_polar: You need to learn when to stop typing. Jesus, man.

    Instanced Zombie Horde

    Terrible idea. Like, really.

    Planned military base?

    Maybe after the local military evacuated, NATO set up base for a while before themselves being overwhelmed.

    I've got convinced to play 1pp more.

    That's not true at all. Lol. I find it very hard to believe that someone who plays DayZ (a fairly niche game, even with 3,000,000 copies sold, considering USA alone has a population of 400,000,000+) doesn't play any first person shooter. How many complaints of motion sickness so you see in any other game? It's literally because of head bob and post-processing like someone else mentioned.

    I've got convinced to play 1pp more.

    First-person perspective for life. Too many people complain about motion sickness and headaches. Apparently they've never played any other FPS ever. It just feels better, and levels the playing field, preventing people on the high ground having supreme advantage over those on the low ground.
  22. Who cares if we run a little slower? I generally jog everywhere as it is. If I spot someone, it takes less than half the time to catch my breath in case shit hits the fan. What's the hurry? Sprinting for miles at a time is retarded, with or without vehicles.

    SweetFX for DayZ

    If it helps you decide, I was falsely banned by BattlEye once (it was later lifted) and I was using SweetFX at the time. I never really got a straight answer as to why I was banned.

    CPU strength?

    That's about all you'll get. My system is in my signature and what you're getting is roughly what I am.
