Run away from the zombies? Ever think of that? How many zombie films portray the main character beating the fuck out of a half dozen zombies simultaneously? If you have an axe, farming hoe, pick axe, sledgehammer, etc, they're mind-numbingly easy to kill. However, more than two isn't worth it with just fists. Run away/lock them in a building and continue your journey. What kind of a fucktard rages at a game because he couldn't Mike Tyson six zombies? As for being killed on sight, that hasn't changed in years, and it more than likely never will. Learn to adapt to a situation before crying about it on the forums. Do you think we can magically fix KOS, or care that you were killed to begin with?

Yep. Only used to spawn in barracks, ATCs, and tents. You could only find the PU scope in residential areas.

I've never found DayZ scary. Suspenseful, yes. I always get an adrenaline rush when I meet a group of people at a location of interest like either tent city. Playing hide and seek with guns against multiple targets is always a good time.

I wouldn't say you were endorsing it, just pointing out that the former was less severe than the latter in the context used.It compares two different things, yes, and IN THE MANNER you presented it, you seemed to be comparing the severity of two things. Otherwise, why make the comparison? It doesn't make sense to point out that two things are different that are... obviously different unless there's an underlying point to be made. "Smacking my dog is a far cry from smacking my kids." They're obviously different, but A isn't as bad as B. "Yelling at a police officer is a far cry from assaulting one, Your Honor." Same thing. "My parents house is a far cry from mine." When comparing size of their houses. It's a very diverse phrase. It all depends on the context. The context you used it in seemingly compared the severity of the two acts, the latter being more offensive than the former, which was what led to the assumption you were fine with one but not the other. EDIT: fucking Samsung keyboard, jfc. between its spellcheck and this conversation, not sure which is more aggravating

You're insinuating here that eating people isn't as big a deal as wearing their skin. That's like me saying, "Smacking my dog is a far cry from smacking my kids." Hitting my dog isn't as bad as hitting my kids. That wasn't the point I was making... your original quoted statement leads people to think you're FINE with cannibalism as you never said you weren't. You only implied skinning was much worse. Hence my comment asking how you can be fine with one and not the other, as both are essentially the same thing. You can't eat people without cutting them up/skinning them. You follow?

You defended it by drawing a comparison between cannibalism and skinning players to wear their skin as clothing. Your post was definitely against skinning but seemingly fine with consuming other players judging by the comparison. That's why I was confused; how could someone be fine with one and not the other? As far as artwork is concerned, they could just continue to use the current leather clothing models -- I don't see why they'd have to be different. Deer skin looks pretty damn similar to human skin. I myself am against cannibalism. I think it's a fucking terrible game mechanic. As you mentioned, the more a player can benefit by killing someone else, the less likely they'll be to interact with one another. Additionally, the idea is fairly appalling. This game isn't even remotely close to being a simulation, nor will it ever be, in my opinion. So why bother with cannibalism? Implemented in very bad taste.

These threads are hilarious. Why exactly do we care what someone who's barely played the game thinks?

Not always. They used to ONLY spawn in military areas.

How is it any less offensive than wearing an article of clothing (e.g: a vest) made from human skin? If I put a pound of human flesh on the ground, that steak is there for everyone to see; it's not just an icon. It's just a renamed deer-skin leather vest. If you're going to be fine with cannibalism, how can you snub wearing the skin, which requires the skinning and quartering of a human to acquire? It's cool to make-believe eat people, but bro, wearing them is just wrong. I lol'd

I used to rock the M4 from time to time back in the old days. Now I can't be bothered looking for one. If when I kill someone who has one, I let it rot. I'm more interested in morphine and unique clothing. If I spy a Smersh Vest, I wait until I can score a headshot. =)

In a game where you generally die before you realize you're being shot at, you guys seem overly concerned how cool you look as a corpse. Can't tell you how many G.I.Joes I've killed with my 9130 in 1,500 hours. You all look the same when you're dead.

Isn't misinformation great?

That's an exaggeration. My son is using one of my old computers running an Athlon Phenom II 955 with a GTX 760 and he gets 30+ FPS on High settings. I think your problem lies elsewhere.

You do realize you're bitching about the removal of an exploit, right? Why should we have two scopes? How easy do you want sniping to be? Are you going to complain once the gamma exploit is fixed, too?

So what, the dumbass went AFK inside a fire station in Elektro. Serves him right.

Zombie count will be one of the last things we'll see. The Mod might be worth looking into in the meantime.

Private or public would make no difference as to how loot spawns...

Yeah, yeah. It's not even that, it's the attitude with which said comments are made. But I get your point. Anyway, -malloc=system in the launch parameters made the biggest improvement in my frame rate. Something about forcing DayZ to allocate data more efficiently or something.

I enjoy reading threads like these with people calling other people out on how much money they could have saved on their build. There are SO MANY of them. This just in: Not everyone works retail. Some people make more than enough money to piss away every year. Personally, I have to spend $20,000-30,000 a year on toys to get myself into a lower tax bracket. I clear $1,000 a day sitting on my ass lifting heavy things in the north pole. My $500,000 house has been paid off for a few years now, I own a $90,000 diesel truck, and more snowmobiles, dirt bikes, and motorcycles than I care to list. By the time I'm ready to retire, compound interest on my RRSPs will leave me with $5,000,000+ to fall back on. Did I mention I just turned 30, didn't go to university, only got my GED in high school and had my first kid at 17? Wait, you don't give a shit about what I just typed? WELCOME TO HOW PEOPLE WITH MONEY FEEL when we're told how much money we could have saved by buying this or that instead of what we did. In the meantime, I'll continue pissing away my $10,000 annual tax return on video games and computers. kthxbai

You didn't see anyone because I'd already killed everyone. Sorry.

Yep, exactly. Finding three in one shot is crazy, though. I would've immediately run to the store to buy a lottery ticket.

The nicest thing I've done was give Dean $29.

My one and only dream is for people to stop killing each other. I want more events like the Elektro Peace Walk we had last year. During that entire event, I was running from house to house, killing as many people as I could. Wait... ._.

You shouldn't have killed him. Perhaps he was pulling his gun out to put you on a level playing field. He probably just wanted to talk things through. You should always approach someone assuming they're friendly, regardless of your location. What's the difference between a barracks with military loot and piano houses, schools, red brick houses, office buildings, etc? They all contain potentially deadly loot as well. It's time we stopped pulling the trigger before asking questions. Deplorable. Shame on you, OP.

This, basically. Once the game gets harder, it'll dull my bloodlust. However, until that time, let the bodies hit the metaphorical flo'.
