One Kill On Sight Thread To Rule Them All!
Grimey Rick replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
// bats eyelashes, adjusts cleavage // Who, li'l ol' me? -
I currently have two in my inventory on my Regular character. You're more than welcome to one. I need the inventory space! I've found them in plane hangars, the ATC tower on the catwalk upstairs, under the stairs of the ATC tower on the bottom floor, and inside the bar/diner on the counter by the sink.

Quick Question . Is Combat Logging fixed meanwhile?
Grimey Rick replied to garack (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Please do that. While you're standing there for thirty seconds after running away like a little girl, I'll take much pleasure in beating your face in with my fists. -

Grimey Rick replied to garack (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Thirty minutes? I've never seen that suggested. I've seen thirty seconds, which is more than fair. Combat logging is a problem. It will be fixed. The thirty second timer is, in my opinion, the most viable fix. -
You can drink in 3PP. You can also fill water bottles/canteens in 3PP. So much false information flying around.

What do you think of people calling Kill on Sight players ... "kids"?
Grimey Rick replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Damn those who look for ways to avoid boredom while playing a video game. Again, video game. Serious people take things seriously. -

Grimey Rick replied to garack (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
The best way to fix combat logging? Master these wrist movements. They will enable you to snipe someone's face before they can awkwardly ALT + F4. ;3 -
...and then have your computer scan for other communication devices within its immediate physical vicinity and disable those as well. It's a game. I like to talk to my kid while we're playing. It's how we spend time together (I work 5,000km away from my son).

This. One hit kills are pretty appealing. Add to that the fact that .357 rounds are literally everywhere.

On top of my earlier post, unparking my processor's cores gave me a slight FPS increase.

I've been trying to have fun with the "hold 'em up, rob 'em, and let 'em go" mentality of this game, but as of late, I've been screwed one too many times. Last night, I joined a group of "bandit hunters" only to be led into a trap of two snipers on a building. I figured out it was a trap when my "friends" all hung back and then began to laugh. Black screen, with a dash of "You are dead." Tonight, I gave it another go and joined up with some guys who seemed very mature initially. I played it a little more catty this time and held back, keeping the three chaps of my group in view. I was watching for any kind of twitchy movement, or obvious baiting. We were attacked by what I assume to be a "bandit" upon entering Kamyshovo; I ended up putting a .357 bullet through his chest, but not before he took down one of my allies. I attempted to resuscitate the fallen friend, and as I was digging through my pack to get my defibrillator from my safe box, I heard a couple of shots and my screen went black, which was followed by the mocking laughter and baiting of the aforementioned "mature players". Anyway, I'm getting really sick of this type of behaviour. I would rather play the role of the hero, but it seems that lately I've been playing the role of the jackass. From now on, I'm killing anyone I see with a gun. I don't care at this point. I've come to realize you really can't trust anyone other than yourself and maybe a personal friend or family member playing with you. Thanks for listening. #bitter #angryface #rawr

Man, I know I do. If an item isn't pristine, it feels, well, dirty. Every second I'm wearing a shirt with more pockets than my old one that's not pristine, gives me anxiety. I don't even bother picking up a pair of shades unless that tantalizing emerald green text spells out P-R-I-S-T-I-N-E below the name. Food? Bleh! I'd rather starve to death than eat anything less than pristine meals! I hope I'm not the only one suffering from this horrible malady. #ocd #makeitstop #helpme

For the last three days I've been getting by with a damaged long range scope. A few minutes ago I decided to hit up the NWAF as the server I frequent dropped to 12/40 people. Five minutes later I'm rockin' two pristine long range scopes. It's funny how things work, no? Oh, I also looted two of the magnum's speedloaders in the fire station. I already had one, but I'm pretty sure I don't need three. They're up for grabs too, hah.

I agree. It's pretty easy to stick to the smaller towns up north, scout them out, run in and loot. Surviving isn't hard when you remove the element of other players. Honestly, when was the last time you died to a zombie, if ever? I went through a phase the last couple of days where I was killing more people than I was interacting with, but killing people on a clunky engine that makes Call of Duty or Counter-Strike look divine gets old pretty fast. Admittedly, I only killed people who were armed and zipping around the airstrips/fields, but even so, it's boring now. :T I'm going to give the human race another chance tomorrow when I start playing hardcore. :3

Anyone want a pristine long range scope?
Grimey Rick replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Hah, sounds good man. My bipod is currently worn, but I don't think it makes much of a difference. I'm not sure though. I have two pristine compasses and can openers on me as well for the same reason as you. :3 Nah, I wouldn't do that. I just really hate to toss a pristine long range scope; they're so rare. ;0 -
I hope so. I'm going to begin my hardcore adventures tomorrow. Regular servers are pretty annoying. People abusing the hell out of 3PP =/= fun.

Grimey Rick replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Aww, are you insinuating I killed people for them? For shame. I found the first one in a hangar and the second one under the set of stairs in the air traffic control tower. So yeah, no blood on them unless someone did naughty things during a certain time of the month. -
Do you suffer from "Pristine Fever"?

Funny? You sadist. This is a cry for help. #help #please #kind #sir #i #am #going #to #end #up #on #medication #yoloswag -
I'm running a three year old rig. i7-2600K @ 4.6GHz 8GB 2133MHz GTX 580 SLI Vertex 3 (x2) RAID0 Unfortunately I can only run one video card as there aren't any properly optimized drivers for SLI out yet, but if I put everything on High, it runs pretty well. I get 40 minimum frames per second. I like to turn my settings down a bit to make other players more visible, though. When I do that I am sitting on a consistent 60+.

Grimey Rick replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
I just killed a guy that shot at me and ran away. I still feel bad, though. He had such an awesome outfit. Reminded me of Launchpad from Duck Tales. :T -
Hah, good for you man. That's cool. :3

Grimey Rick replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Yeah. A lot of people view this game like it's Farmville or something. I guess they added the M4A1 to save us from circling around zeds punching them to death with our fists. That saves time. Which lets me search for more beans. And, uh... yeah. I don't really want a game that forces me to make up interesting scenarios in order to keep playing it. That's like someone selling you a half-knitted sweater and telling you to figure out how not to freeze to death. I have fun using what's currently in the game by killing people. It's not wrong. #h8rsgunnah8 -
Says the guy tough-talking over the internet about a guy who shoots people in a video game.

Grimey Rick replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
I agree with your points. I will continue killing people, they can continue to call me names. With that being said, I give those people this:
