Too North East / Coastal Focused?
Grimey Rick replied to tatchell (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
And what exactly are you going to hunt along the coast? You'll get the odd deer stealing apples in a rural area, but the vast majority of wildlife is... in the wild. There will be incentives to go inland. There's a LOT of empty real estate up north along the highway that's undoubtedly going to be used for the production of more towns/cities. As of right now they seem to be working their way outwards from the coast, which again, makes sense. I'd rather they structure the map from one direction to the other in an intelligent manner rather than cherry pick locations all over the place just for the sake of having people run in a different direction to grab loot. It'd be different is this was beta or the first week of release, then I'd be concerned. -
Too North East / Coastal Focused?
Grimey Rick replied to tatchell (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
What's the difference? You're suggesting that the Sobors used to be the hot spots, but now they're not. As it's currently implemented, there are many hot spots all along the coast. Is this not a good thing? You'll notice that most modernized areas have the bulk of their resources on the coast for obvious reasons in actuality. Why should Chernarus+ be any different? I think when hunting is implemented there will be much more incentive to head inland. You can still get a ton of equipment heading inland, and I've met many, many people in almost every town whilst playing on full servers. I think the current Elektrozavodsk situation makes people forget that you're not normally going to see half the server in one area, and that player encounters are meant to be fewer and more meaningful. As it currently stands, I think it's fine and that it makes sense. It'll change. -
I've used auto run since my first day. I'm not fucking up my wrist/finger/thumb/pecker so I can be in the "cool" DayZ club of people who think holding W all day makes it more immersive.

Why do you need a PU if you already have a LRS? ;D

Just don't kill that cute blonde medic. Or Guppy. That's all I ask.

When you die, you're supposed to start as someone new. If they follow the mod's blueprint, you can just run back to your camp and restock. I don't really agree with that, as this is a survival game and eventually people will have their tents so full of items it'll negate the entire point of surviving. I think when you die, your tent should be randomly placed within a 5km² area of its initial location. Your base should be considered abandoned and access should only come from somehow smashing the doors down.

I also prefer the SKS and Mosin. I find they fit the environment a lot better, and in the right person's hands can be just as effective. The M4A1, when fully kitted, is very versatile and good for every situation except long range. Defending buildings, storming buildings, picking people off mid-range, being able to spray an area to cover a buddy moving across a doorway, etc. I'll take a Mosin every time, though. ;3

I generally see people go down in 2-4 shots. I think the M4A1 is fine; it's the best gun available in its current implementation (as it should be).

When there are only 2 players on the server...
Grimey Rick replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
I was talking to him on direct communication. I explained to him I wasn't a bandit or anything, and was just bored and looking to help other people. He replied with, "Man, you know how it is, I had to try!" We both laughed, and I guarded him until he came to, then he left. -
Every evening before logging out, my characters neatly put away their equipment to maintain just a little bit of order in this crazy world. Anything else would be... uncivilized.

Grimey Rick replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
I rarely kill people these days, so I'd just let him go. I actually camped a jail in NEAF today and helped out a handful of new spawns over the span of an hour or so. One tried to punch me, so I knocked him out and put rice and a canteen in his backpack. -
Either way, if you miss you're fscked, gun or crossbow. I can only imagine how horrible an experience trying to hit someone zig-zagging in this game would be with a bolt when it's hard enough hitting them with a bullet.
-
Wherever. We can agree on a town (I'm currently close to Elektro) and I'll drop the gun/attachments/ammo in a building of your choice for you to collect. I used to do face-to-face trades until I was swung upon one too many times. :T thnaxs mna
-
I was going to post the exact same thing. If you see a guy and pull the trigger, do they think he's going to react in a split second and deflect the bullet with his ninja-like reflexes because he heard the shot? i lol'd

u can haz mine tomorrow if u hazn't found 1. dropping dat sks cuz my runningz r 2 slow

Huh? No, I saw that I could stack cans, so it gave me the idea of stacking my gear up for a screenshot. -
Never heard that before. Do you have a link to verify that, by any chance?

I liked the line so much, I made it my member title above my avatar. ;D

Wait, how are we going to pick stuff up that's on lockers/cabinets?! /freaks out in a panic

It's been a fortnight since we did battle over some trivial odds and ends on the Balota airstrip. Out of respect for you, I thought your last words should be broadcast to whom it may concern. I want you to know that I will neither forget you, nor our battle. You had me pinned down in a barracks, scaring the living shit out of me as bullet after bullet rang just inches above my head. Your fatal mistake was overextending yourself, and my ability to count to ten. After that tenth 7.62mm round stopped short at the door in front of me, I charged from my place of refuge like a bat out of hell, fixated on stopping short your reign of terror. Several tense seconds later, you were looking at the flowers à la Lizzie. Take solace in knowing that your two friends who attempted to avenge you are now also in an eternal slumber. Perhaps you will meet them again somewhere in the great beyond. Sincerely, Grand Duke Richard of Grimes

Which is what everyone does anyway. The only difference is he's paying $70+US/month for it, we're not. ITT: Hypocrites. -
Now let's compare apples and oranges.
