OP has a valid point, stop inserting your opinion for the sake of seeing your avatar in a thread. It's an issue, and will hopefully be eventually addressed. I highly doubt most of the player killers I've taken out (full pristine gear, ridiculous ammo:supplies ratio) achieved their gear through risky gameplay on a decently populated server. You don't get that geared on a normal server. It'd take days. And someone who's spent days gearing up a character is far less likely to run around blasting people like Call of Duty. For the record, I only play on one server (with the odd exception). That way me and my kid can become somewhat friendly with regulars and run less of a risk of being constantly killed-on-sight.

I server hopped tonight in the school in search of a mosin. I know, I know, I'm a douche bag. I tried finding one the legitimate way but gave up after an hour or so. My son found all of the mosin attachments and wanted my M4, so I was kind of in a hurry to find one. Anyway, after trying to connect to my third server, it wouldn't let me. I tried again. Nothing. So I ALT-TAB to the desktop to check the forums while I waited for it to sort itself out only to notice that good ol' Google Chrome was stuck at "Resolving host..." Then the little yellow exclamation point over my network connection appeared. After much fuckstickery trying to sort it out, I finally had to go into device manager (Windows 7 Ultimate x64), disable, then re-enable my ethernet card. After a few moments of cocksuckery, it finally sorted itself out. So yeah, has this happened to anyone else?

Does DayZ ever b0rk your intrawebz?
Grimey Rick replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
What was the point of this post? The troll is weak in this one. I've got hundreds of hours logged on a single server that me and my kid play on. This was an exception. I'd do it again too rather than listen to him whine for an hour about wanting my M4, hah. -

Have you ever been scared to continue?
Grimey Rick replied to Snake2356's topic in General Discussion
I'm currently slaying server hoppers. I only play one server and it upsets me greatly when all of the airstrips are looted when I finally get to one of them after a long, uneventful haul. So I decided to close all of the doors in the building I'm camping to lure hoppers in if they don't spawn inside. Then I waste them. If they spawn inside near me I just run over and axe them before their eyes adjust and they can equip a weapon. Three in the past hour. :3 -
Stay away from the shotgun(s), here is why.
Grimey Rick replied to DayzForumer's topic in General Discussion
I've been one shot by shotguns twice now. I don't know where the fuck the 4-5 shots per kill shit is coming from. One guy was kneeling on the bottom of a staircase in one of the jails of an airstrip. Dead in one shot. Another guy was running into a fire station in Elektrozavodsk as I was running out. Dead in one shot. In the first scenario I had a pristine ballistics helmet and press vest. In the second scenario I was newly spawned within ten minutes of being killed. -
Only if I can drive this.

"It was night. I mean, it was definitely dark. Yep, I'm pretty sure that's night. I was trolling hard along the road with my gamma at 100% when I heard the strangest noise. I turned, taking in the scenery with my legitimate wallh4x only to see a lone man chopping down a pine tree for what I assumed to be firewood. Certainly he didn't think it was a zed. Yes, firewood, that sounds better. I was filled with rage at him cutting down the poor little pine tree, especially since there was an oak tree right beside it. Anyone with a clue knows that pine, being a softwood burns faster and with much less heat produced than oak, a hardwood. So I did what anyone would've done. I fucking shot him. In the face. I feel better now. Somehow I've righted a wrong. One little victory in this nonsensical universe of chaos. I feel so good, in fact, I'm going to login to the official DayZ Standalone game forums and brag about it. But wait, they may not like that. They may not appreciate bragging about killing a defenseless man with an axe when I had the upper hand from every angle. No, I'll disguise it with trickery and ask them to add their stories about experiences they have killing newbies. Fuck, I'm a genius."

Mosin for mid to long range and a Magnum for CQB. Honestly, I really want to prefer the M4 (in real life I would definitely take an M4), but the fact of the matter is that it's pretty terrible unless you're up-close spraying. That and the fact that weapon toggling is currently half broken. Sometimes it goes into semi-automatic, sometimes it doesn't. There's nothing worse than trying to snipe someone at mid-range and half a clip gets jizzed in the general direction of your target.

This. Zombies can only attack in a straight line, and once they attack, they take another ~5 seconds to attack again. They're literally retarded.

Unless you're Dr. Manhattan and can defy physics, I'd have to go with yes.

I've found two so far and they were both in the fire stations on the shelves near the stairs.

Your character resets? Or you just lose what's in your inventory and keep what you had physically equipped on your character?

Zombies should run faster than players
Grimey Rick replied to alleycat's topic in General Discussion
Source: http://zombie.wikia.com/wiki/Rage_virus The Rage virus causes its hosts to permanently enter a primal state of murderous rage and attempt to spread the infection or kill the uninfected above all else, even self-preservation. The Infected are reduced to an animalistic state of permanent hostility and aggression, driving them to attack non-infected with no concern for their own safety and no moral or other inhibitions that could control their actions and behaviour. In this state of permanent and extreme psychosis, the brain is continuously pumping adrenaline into the host's system, giving the Infected huge powers of endurance and super-human strength, but at the same time placing enormous stress on their metabolism, which alongside their disregard for their own safety, leads to eventual death through physical exhaustion, coma and/or starvation. The Infected experience spasms in the extremities, and their irises become blood red. They also vomit copious amounts of infected blood as well as violently gibbering for reasons unknown. In the film 28 Days Later the virus that spreads is called "Rage". DayZ also uses a virus archetype. It could work, and would make it more fun. Stupid, slow, shambling zombies are boring. #releaseyourrage
