    Would this be possible for DayZ ?

    Give it some time. Just having vehicles would totally transform this alpha. I can predict with 100% accuracy that when they add vehicles, there will be bugs with it. Remember when there was no falling damage? Fun times...

    How to handle close encounters?

    I bet fresh spawns run towards armed people, get shot, then come here and whine about KOSers.. :)

    How to handle close encounters?

    The revenge-seeking freshies are my concern. One geared guy was hiding behind some cover, aware of my position, then a fresh spawn ran up to him and punched him out. I saw the freshie stand up with his new gear and I shot him down. The originally geared guy woke up, took his stuff back, aimed at me, and I killed him too. After that point, I had a bunch of fresh spawns keep running towards me. This one person using an asian female model in bright clothing kept yelling something at me and coming back each time I shot him/her.

    How to handle close encounters?

    I got knocked out by one. I was on a rooftop, and he basically appeared there. I shot him 5 times in the chest, then saw "you an unconscious". When I came to, he was dead in front of me. My question was : how much do you trust a fresh spawn running up to you?

    Pistol + Prone = Bug ?

    Had similar issues today. I took an SKS from someone I killed, but I couldn't raise it up to shoot. I repainted it green, then all of a sudden it had a PU scope and worked fine. Just a few minutes ago, I couldn't pull out my pistol while prone. Took a few tries before it worked.

    Hunting ~end of may

    Yeah, but not just canned food. The first days playing the game I didn't know that unless I joined a freshly reset server, I'd starve to death. With the quantity of food we find now, I wouldn't be surprised to find obese survivors.

    Infinite Mosin Ammo

    Had an unlimited Kvass today, but got killed by a zombie while alt-tabbed.

    M9A1 Combat Knife: The new fireaxe

    My axe is ruined! I can no longer just go around one-hitting zombies. I have a hard enough time hitting them in the chest with the axe, I'm not going to bother aiming for the head.

    KoS;er gets what he deserves.. NOTHING!

    He's still 3-1. Edit : I once turned around in a police building and this guy was trying to chop me with an axe. He missed every swing, then started yelling "friendly! FRIENDLY!" when I pulled out my gun. Yelling "friendly!" in this game means nothing.

    Log in Timer Poll

    Join server, server lags out, join new server, have to wait 500 seconds, stuck on red chain when finally in, "YOU ARE DEAD" appears, hear a 12 year old talking trash, ALT-F4 and walk away from the computer. Day Z.

    Wow those house campers.

    Maybe I'm alone, but I enjoy the stress of spawning and having to watch out. If everyone ran up to me handing me food, weapons, then massaging my shoulders, it would be quite dull. If everyone was a "hero", and all we did was help each other, this game would have been shelved one week after release.

    im a noob sniper...

    Ahh, must be new. I haven't played in the last 2 days. I did notice when hitting a zombie at approx 800m they didn't do the death animation, they just vanished.

    im a noob sniper...

    I see them on stable. Learn to judge distance without using a map. I usually get myself a ton of ammo, and go shoot zombies from far.

    LoL Opt out

    Don't feel bad OP, happens to us all. Yesterday I logged out fully geared, and when I came back a few hours later, while it was loading and my screen was frozen, it just turned into "YOU ARE DEAD".

    Bolota scouting

    Depends on my gear. If I have anything with a decent scope/zoom, I will approach from the west, in the fields. I keep an eye on sniper hill, and if that's clear, I approach. Sniper hill is tricky though, because everyone knows about it. There are anti-sniper hill snipers, and anti-anti-sniper hill snipers. But honestly, last time I ran through Balota on a server with 3 people online (including me), I just saw "YOU ARE DEAD" all of a sudden without hearing a single shot. Eff Balota. Loot the tents as fast as you can on an empty server and bail.

    In game video settings what do you use?

    I have an alienware M18X, with an nvidia 660, and I have mostly everything on low/off, except a few things. I find putting clouds up a notch or two makes the world look nicer, and I find playing on low detail levels reminds me of playing games on my old 486. I sacrifice FPS for slightly better gfx, but I find we sacrifice a lot for little gain here.

    Thread in defense of banditry

    Good god you guys are dramatic..
  18. The only loot I actually look for is the LRS, then I go snipe people in busy cities. I usually die fairly quickly, so it's a fair trade-off.

    Mosin long scope shake

    The problem is you can't see where the bullets are hitting at all. I'm somewhat okay at zeroing, but with the reload animation through the scope, I have no idea where my bullets are landing.

    Mosin long scope shake

    Does the scope still move all over during reload? I haven't found a LRS in ages. Last time I used it, I couldn't even see where my bullets were hitting, which made zeroing almost impossible.

    First friendly encounter in a month (Sad ending)

    Good ol' ladders. I feel your pain. I was climbing one last week, then when I got to the top, I had a broken leg. Not sure what happened there.

    When do you feel safe to logout?

    outside the cities it's pretty rare to run into players even on full 40 player servers. I log out just about anywhere, no issues so far.
  23. Some of those already exist. The new police station is pretty cool, aside from that, more variety would be cool for strategies once they allow fortifications.
