Yeah, I have just been using the scope as a ghetto range-finder. I've been defending NWAF for the past day using my sexy AKM.

Your logic is flawed.

So, if I could find a fucking AKM magazine I'd be golden. I've found everything else they've added and even hunted some animals, but an AKM magazine? You'd be more likely to stop rubber-banding than find one. =(

If I had already made $40,000,000+ on a job that was 25% complete and didn't even promise it ever would be, my skin would be fairly thick too. I think this whole debate is quite relative. People have different values and expectations with how they spend their money. If you've never worked in retail, you won't understand. The following example is a true story from when I was sixteen and working part-time at a hardware store while going to school: Our store was advertising fire-retardant 5/8" drywall at a discount as a promotion to get contractors to walk through the doors. Some weekend warrior walks in on a Saturday and buys twenty (or so) sheets to do his garage. A few weeks later, his garage burned down (true story). So what does he do? He sues the store for selling him faulty drywall. While this example doesn't quite fit the archetype of people not understanding what software in its alpha stage really is, it does show you how [monumentally] stupid people can be. For you guys to waste so much time bickering back and forth on the subject shows me that you're either very young/naive, or just as stupid as the guy who bought drywall from a hardware store that Saturday. Some arguments just aren't winnable. EDIT: Lysdexia.

Those are two different houses. Example == void.

qww versus Bororm in a battle of passive-aggressive trolling, oi. This should be entertaining.

I don't normally bother with pistols as I roll primarily with a kitted M4A1. The odd time I use a pistol it's a Magnum to go with my Mosin. However, after dying an unfortunate death by rubber-banding from the top of the ATC in NWAF, I quickly respawned and began gearing up again. I started in Kamyshovo and found a 1911. "Meh," I murmured as I picked up the pistol, "Why not?" I ran from Kamyshovo to Elektrozavodsk where I looted a bunch of .45 ammunition, but no magazines to be found for my new gun. Onward to Balota I trudged by which time I was fully-kitted after passing through Chernogorsk and Chapaevsk with clothes (that matched since I'm such a diva;), backpack, food and water, plenty of bandages, two saline bags and a morphine injector. However, I still hadn't found a magazine for this damn thing! I arrived at an untouched airstrip. Upon entering the first jail, I found what I had been searching for, the means with which to properly defend myself: a 1911 magazine! After listening to the fairly silent yet satisfying "click" as it slid into the chamber, I set out towards the ATC and beyond. Fifty or so metres from my destination I saw a fellow making his way from the barracks towards the jail next to the hangars so I quickly ducked into the ATC. Unfortunately, he had also spotted me and quickly vanished behind the jail. I somewhat nervously waited for any sign of him as in my mind, I wasn't properly equipped to deal with the M4A1-toting Rambo lookalike that he appeared to be. After maybe five minutes, I saw him encroaching upon the rear of the ATC with his gun locked 'n' loaded. I sent out an amiable, "Greetings, adventurer! Stay a while and listen," à la Deckard Cain from the infamous Diablo series. Nothing. He crept further towards the back wall of my hideout. My next thought was somewhere along the line of, "For fuck's sake. I just got all this lurvely stuffs! :(" I prepared myself for the worst and dug in on the second level as I heard him entering the building beneath me. Expecting him to slowly make his way up the stairs, I aimed down the sight at the floor towards the staircase and waited. To my surprise, he burst up the staircase while spraying a torrent of 5.56mm terror in my general direction as he rounded the stairwell. It startled me and gave him the opportunity to get closer to me than I'd hoped; my plan had been to pop him one in the head as soon as it appeared above that concrete horizon, but such was not the case. Instead, I popped two rounds into his chest with the intention of retreating to the top of the ATC. I watched in amazement as he doubled over, dead as a nit. I double-checked the magazine in my 1911, and sure enough, it was at 5/7 rounds remaining. This gun rocks. :3 TL;DR: teh 1911 is teh winz!!1! EDIT: Added TL;DR. I didn't mean to go on for so long. ;D

Who hacks in guns? How exactly would you do that? Are you referring to duping? Or are you saying people can make items appear whenever they want?

It's not high on the priority list.™

This was mine, I lost it a little over a month ago now: They weren't "hacked" into the game, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. They were taken off the loot table because they don't fit the female characters correctly (as you can see in my screenshot), but if you had one before they were removed, you were able to keep it.

Can the dumbassery, please. While Gibonez can be excessive at times, it's not because he's trying to ruin DayZ. He's an avid realism enthusiast and most of his ideas would add more realism to this "authentic/realistic" survival horror title. He's right, we can move around like we're playing Quake. It has to be all or nothing with this type of game.

Breaking Point is pretty fun, I've been playing it on and off for a few months now. I just really can't get into the Arma 3 animations. Running is so bad. So, so bad. ;P It makes Arma 2 look good in that respect.

I actually just hit 1000 yesterday.

I think DayZ should switch DIMENSIONS.

A chambered Sporter, a 1911 with one magazine, some attachments for various guns you don't have, a damaged gas mask, some G.I. Joe clothes and you're still hungry. You, sir, are a force to be reckoned with!

I hate to say it, but I axed someone at NEAF today.

I lol'd. I watched it again. I lol'd some more.

You're asking too much. Adding more spawns points requires at the very least an $80,000,000 budget.

Remind me never to play with you.

You should be able to spawn ANYWHERE on the coast. It's random; you're not going to spawn at the same spot twice NEAF is only a few strides further from the coast than SWAF/Balota Elektrozavodsk/Chernogorsk are just as effective at gearing a character as the airfields areOn top of that, remove the tents at Balota so that SWAF and NEAF are relatively equal as far as loot is concerned, and force players to vie for dominance of NWAF if they really want the military goods. It isn't rocket surgery, derp. Players spawn fanned out along the coast, all headed inland towards a universally appealing common goal. This will increase player encounters in places other than Berezino as players will be traveling through almost every town on their way to the north-west corner of the map.

This just in: ~$40,000,000 and a doubled development team can't fix light shining through walls in a video game. More at 6.

Just prevent players from looting their own corpse. I've mentioned that before, and people have been like, "AMG BUT WEHN I RSPEAWN IM SUM1 NEW SO I SOUHLD BE ABEL 2 LEWT MAI OLD COPSRE". No, you shouldn't!

I'd just pop him in the head, as would most people here. My reasoning? He's obviously too used to being kitted out and deserves a rude reminder as to why you don't get sloppy. Don't let their Jedi mind tricks sway you. Deep within us all is a Sith Lord.

Yes, please buff my favorite weapon. Never mind the fact it's almost a semi-automatic medium-range Mosin. The only situation in which the SKS is "underpowered" is when three guys rush a building you're defending. Other than that, it's frag-tastic. I support this thread.

ITT: Pointless debate is pointless.
