    GTX 970 + 980 Owner's Thread

    Nvidia has been price gouging for years. Their driver support has been lacking lately; SLI takes months in some cases to properly function with a new title, and the dozens of variations of cards released in trickles throughout the fiscal year after a new card is launched is just a blatant money grab. I've known this for a long time but stuck with Nvidia because their cards are generally slightly better than AMD's and I'm all about performance. I haven't owned an AMD/ATI card since my old Radeon 7500, but I think it's time we were reacquainted.

    GTX 970 + 980 Owner's Thread

    Dunno how the 980 is overpriced... it performs similarly to the stock 780 Ti using much less power and almost $250 cheaper. I own two 780 Ti Classified cards and feel the 980 to be a slap in the face. I'm done with Nvidia.

    How to keep your character from being reset.

    How do You Keep Yourself Busy While Travelling?

    Flappy Bird. 1,087 high score left handed.
  5. It's almost impossible to hit a player with a one-handed melee weapon unless they're standing still. With a two-handed weapon you can at least run around and attempt to be elusive. Same here. My buddy hit me in the chest a handful of times before it affected me. It's one or two hits to the head, but how often does a player stand still long enough to effectively aim at their head?
  6. If you have an axe on you, it's better versus zeds in every situation... why would you even use the stun baton?

    My friends shoot anyone who is geared ...

    I attempt to kill on sight with only my fists, if necessary. Momma always said the best friends don't talk, they listen. ;)

    Fire doesn't warm you up.

    Did he wring out his clothes first? I did that before making the fire. Maybe that's the difference?

    I do streaming

    Why would we want to watch you play a game you just started? Are you a celebrity? Are you going to pay us? Are you amazing at the game? If anything, you should watch me play. I'm amazing, have 1,336 (almost 1337!) hours logged, am a celebrity in Afghanistan, and will pay with hugs 'n' kisses. Oh wait, I don't seek attention via Twitch. ;D

    It works inside the jail and air traffic control towers.

    .49 Is not an improvement

    If zombies are killing you, maybe you just suck at the game. ;c

    Uh, I'm the biggest DayZ cynic you'll ever meet, and even I will admit this patch has been a huge improvement. There are a few glitches here and there, but that's obviously to be expected as it's still a shell of a game. Zombies bug through a door here and there, but so far I've been able to lock dozens of them inside barracks rooms. They don't hit you after they die anymore, they're a lot easier to hit with melee weapons, and breaking line of sight continues to become more intuitive. I honestly think you're just bitching to see your name on the internet.

    The War on Wilderness - Reclaiming Myshkino

    Or, just get rid of it. I still feel that one city of tents is more than enough for the map. ;)

    You show me yours, I'll show you mine

    When a post deems it appropriate. Who are you to post bad ideas? You get one freebie, but after that you're at the mercy of the people. Au contraire, now you'll have to deal with me even more. You've been identified as fodder. :3 With 169 hours logged into DayZ, you're just getting started. Please don't attempt to ruin our DayZ experience with ideas that would dumb this game down any more than it already is. Thanks!

    Dude, stop posting bad ideas/pointless threads. And if you want to suggest something pertaining to DayZ, use the appropriate forum. lol stats

    For those of you that have lost faith in DayZ...

    Is DayZ a religion now?

    So has there been a wipe yet or not?

    I really want to poop, but I keep worrying about the wipe. JUST POOP BRO.

    The 'war on snipers'

    I see this thread is still chugging along full steam ahead. That's unfortunate. Currently, an SKS with a PU Scope is a better alternative than a Mosin with a Long Range Scope. Why? Currently, both 7.62mm variants do the same amount of damage, the SKS is semi-automatic where as the Mosin is bolt-action so it's better at short to medium range and those OSHIT moments, and anything beyond the PU Scope's range requires more luck than skill to hit with the Long Range Scope. I fought an emotional battle for about a month before deciding to pass the Mosin over in favor of the SKS, but I eventually got there. The idea of the Mosin with a pristine Compensator, Long Range Scope and Burlap Wrap is a pretty appealing one in a post-apocalyptic world where survival is paramount. The further you are from your assailant the better, right? Technically, yes. Realistically, no. Just go with the SKS/AKM for now and call it a day. When they fix the damage, then we can talk Mosin. ;3

    Zambies kill you even when they're dead.

    Wait for it to die? They either die instantly or not at all. You must be experiencing lag out something. The only time a zed hits me is when they chase me into a house, I move into a different room, but the game still thinks I'm in the room with the zed, leaving him free to swing at nothing yet still land hits on me from 20 meters away. That's definitely aggravating, but beyond that zeds are still very easy to kill. Strafe is your friend.

    The 'war on snipers'

    Neither do I. If you'd read the thread, you'd know we're discussing 600+ meters. It's a crapshoot with the figure eight, totally unrealistic weapon sway. It's less like you're playing a military simulator and more like you're playing a shitty flash game on bored.com.

    Is there an actual point to this thread? I've read it twice. I don't get it.
