That's not true. Unless northern Canada (where I reside) defies physics, the evening is black as pitch. If you're in the woods, you cannot see anything. I live in a small town where people turn out their lights at around 9 o'clock. Unless the moon is high in the sky, you're not finding your way around. Stars do not provide even nearly adequate lighting unless you're in a field, at which point you can probably see far enough to navigate to a tree-line. You still wouldn't be able to see gopher holes, debris, etc. My wife had a hard time adjusting to living up here as she's from Toronto. I've been to Toronto a lot to visit her family since we've been married over the last ten years, and it's never dark there. I'm wondering if people's perception of "night time" is askew due to living in or around cities. The country is dark. I feel that in its current implementation, it's one thing the development team has actually hit on the head.

I enjoyed reigning chaos on the Elektrozavodsk Peace Walk. But yeah, most of these events seem like they should take place in Counter-Strike.

Bring on the hordes. I love the idea of fighting my way through a wandering zombie horde to make it to safety. I just don't really appreciate them in their current implementation: walking through walls, spawning right beside you for no apparent reason when bandaging, etc. If you want a game that's as realistic as a game with zombies can be, scatter some corpses around and make excessive proximity noise disturb them. Voila. lol alpha.

your definition of "usually" and mine are quite askew, sir.

because fun. this game hasn't gotten to the point where you actually need to kill others for their loot. after spawning on the shore, i can be fully geared up and healthy within an hour. what do i need other people's stuff for? the only thing i really ever loot is ammo and weapon attachments; other than that, i just kill for the lulz.

it's fun at first. after about an hour, it's old. this patch can s my d, yo.

what's the problem with KOS behavior? seems like the op is passive aggressively ragin'.

ur such a jerk

Fucking glitchy piece of shit.

If it cheers you up, I was just shot through a wall by some guy inside the jail building in Balota. GRATS ON THE "FIX" DEVS.

To be fair, your prediction has very legitimate grounds. This community is known for its pomposity. +1 FOR TENT LEWT.

I find them in ghillie tents, the fortified bunker in the military camps near Balota and NWAF, barracks on beds, ATCs on catwalks/under staircase/behind main door, etc. I still find them quite regularly.

Well, I currently have two Pristine Long Range Scopes: one that stays attached to my darlin', the other that is periodically put down in the back of a hangar as I wait patiently for someone to pick it up. ;3

I dunno if you're attempting to be funny or you're actually trying to offer advice. Either way, 2/10. The sound has been skewed since the alpha began.

The ballistics sound effects in this game currently make no sense at all. I've heard sounds to my right when I know for a fact they were fired from my left.

Like the look, I'm currently dressed similarly. I also have a gun-holster on my chest as it does add a lot more protection without looking too obtrusive.

BRING BACK THE TENTS, RAWR!

Until you take a tube of your current supermodel's lipstick, write "Eat my shit, Grimey Rick" on the side of your Lambo and take a picture, I don't believe a word you say, bro. You're just another tryhard who's trying harder than my ten year old. Seriously, he lies better than you.

"I AM A SUCCESSFUL SPINAL SURGEON. I OWN MY OWN HOSPITAL. I DATED 15 WOMEN LAST YEAR. I MAKE $56,000 A WEEK. I AM AN EXPERT MARKSMAN. I HAVE NEVER DIED IN DAYZ. I HAVE MANAGED ALL OF THIS FROM MY MOM'S BASEMENT."

Yeah, no, you're right. I apologize for questioning the motives of a world-renowned surgeon with such exotic hobbies. After a rough day at the hospital saving children with various diseases, stopping off at the firing range on the way home (I bet you don't even get out of your car, you probably just drive by the range shooting your AK sideways OG-style), you decide to lay down a verbal onslaught on the DayZ forums. That's cool. I am honored. i lol'd

So, let me get this straight: you're a genius surgeon who owns his own hospital, makes $56,000 a week, owns a small arsenal of guns and can shoot at the level of the Marine Corps?

Had that happened to me, I'd: Have no monitor left, and; Quit DayZ

I strafe to the corner while leaning, giving myself the largest field of view of the corner possible as I approach. Once my head is near the corner, I stop leaning. I then snug up to the corner. Then I lean quickly, not double-tapping as that would cause you to lean indefinitely until you hit the lean button again. EDIT: Also this.

Slightly off-topic, but I had a somewhat similar experience last night in the ATC at NWAF. I had a Mosin and a Magnum and was being a little jerk on top of the ATC since you can now shoot out of the windows, not just in. I saw a guy approaching the ATC with an M4A1 and went into OSHIT mode -- that's never a good thing when you have a Magnum! I ran down the topmost flight of stairs and dug myself in at the bottom, watching the other staircase. As he came up, I could just see the top of his head and put two Magnum rounds into his head. He died. I then fell unconscious. This was doubly annoying for me as he was still rasping and breathing hard from his run into the ATC. A friend came to revive me (yay for saline bags working again!), and upon coming to, ALL of my gear was still pristine, as if he hadn't hit me. I knew that I had been hit because I had heard a shot from the M4 and because I had lost blood. It took me a while to get back to healthy status. All of his gear was fine except for his glasses, beret and gas mask. They were ruined. This is currently the most annoying issue in the game for me; I don't even know how many times I've died or been knocked unconscious while taking someone else with me where they should've been dead before they were even able to get a shot off.
