Water purification tactic -Using coffee filters
Scofflaw replied to Damnyourdeadman's topic in Suggestions
does anyone actually purify water in the game? -
To stop Kill On Sight, we should make life more valueble
Scofflaw replied to super_shadow's topic in Suggestions
... what? -
I finally found one in the school or whatever. I had found 2 mosins, and another 5 SKS. I think there are WAY too many SKS spawning, compared to other weapons. The B29 is a lot of fun. The iron sights are clear, and I can nail zombies from pretty far. I think my preference would be B29 > Mosin > SKS > M4 > Shotgun. A scope on the B29 would make it quite a powerful gun for long range.
-
Okay, where is everyone finding the B29? So far this morning, I found 6-7 SKS, 3 shotguns, 1 M4, and a bunch of pistols, but no sign of the B29. Also found a cowboy hat for the first time, and a machete. Anyone know if the machete is 1 hit kill? I picked it up, and I couldn't swing it for some reason.
-
No exaggeration, I've stumbled into at least 10 SKS today. I'm practically tripping over them. I'm not a huge fan of them, I find it a bit hard to hit anything beyond close range, even with a pristine PU scope. I want to try the B29 though, sounds like my kind of gun. Right now, for me, mosin > sks > m4.
-
They really should make PVE servers to cut down on the people complaining. Go kill 2 zombies, run another 5km just looking for another zombie to kill with one hit.
-
I kill people and I don't loot them, so what does that make me? I do it because I've lost count of how many times I've been running around and my screen just goes black with "YOU ARE DEAD". Returning the favor.
-
I must be unlucky, even on high pop servers I rarely run into people along the coast. My deaths almost always result from me killing someone and not seeing he had a friend with him hiding in a bush. So, now I don't bother looting people I kill from a distance, I just use their corpses as bait.
-
soooo... what is being said then?
-
Dear god, what's wrong with people? If everyone was a "hero", what would we do in the game? 1 shot the 3 zombies in each town, then what? The only actual exciting thing in this game is shooting at each other. Killing fresh spawns is pretty lame since you have nothing to gain by it, but if someone is looking for ammo at an airfield, chances are he wants ammo to shoot at people. Do the math from there.
-
I used to have 2 or 3 preferred servers, but they've all gone offline now. I tend to go on low pop servers, or servers with timed resets.
-
I've found a bunch in different colours. Using that and a pipe wrench, you look like you're off to work.

Does the SKS bullets stray to the left like the mosin or does it hit dead on?
Scofflaw replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
A slight pull to the left would be exaggerated by distance. -

Scofflaw replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Don't they only pull to the left >800m? -
KOS everyone who has a gun, simple.
-
yay, now when people chase me up the radio towers I can just jump off and run away.
-
The same way a scope is a convenience.
-
It can only be zeroed to 300m, so it can't really compete at the long range game like the Mosin.
-
In-game sound needs to be re-worked
Scofflaw replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I noticed this a lot last night. I was in the middle of nowhere, watching a road, and I kept hearing random zombie screams, then random soda can openings, then I could hear someone's voice chat who was obviously not near me; he was describing his location to a buddy, and it wasn't anywhere near me. I figured out the soda can was just a bug/whatever, because I heard it like 15 times once while on the roof of a building outside the southern airfield. -
To those getting shot through walls, don't forget your bag/gun sometimes stick out through walls. I cornered someone in the radio tower once, and I saw his gun poking out through a wall in the middle story. I kept shooting the wall, not sure if I got him.
-
When I first started playing I died a few times of hunger/thirst. I was exploring the town I spawned in and the new few inland, all I could find were rotten fruits. The thirst was solved by looking at any dayz map. There really wasn't any loot in the first two towns. I always go back to the coast because I never ever run into other plays inland. In my 60 hours so far, I ran into ONE person at the NE airfield, and one other player in a small town. I get so bored running around inland that I go back to the coast to see some action.
-
Found one in a hangar. They are harder to find after the recent patch, with no loot in the tents.
-
Just 2¢ from someone who has used these weapons in his day job
Scofflaw replied to Robert Allison's topic in Suggestions
Trying to hit anyone beyond 100m with the M4 can be difficult sometimes. I stopped using it, because even in full pristine, it's very unreliable for anything beyond short range. -
SUGGESTION: Wearing the United Nations Beret puts you into PVE-Only mode
Scofflaw replied to Charcoal's topic in Suggestions
Can anyone explain to me what PVE mode is? You can go hours without needing food/water, and zombies take 1 hit with an axe. What exactly do you do when you "pve"?
