this has happened to me on several occasions but I finally noticed a difference yesterday. I went looking for that new town north of the "new" town north of neaf (its not there yet) and I was heading back to the "new" town and came across a nice sniper nest. as I am looking this little location over I am steadily getting the message about my leg hurts (little run-in with a zed earlier) but I decided to have a good scoped look back at the town and my reticle was a bit shakier than normal so I deployed the bipod and went prone but I was still shaky. I make my back into town and find some sticks in a shed and do the ole splint thing to get rid of the message about hurting leg (that's how I normally deal with it anyways) but I tested the scope again and it was as stable as it should be. I had never noticed this difference before. I should note that I have used morphine for this as well but I prefer to use a splint cause sticks are easier to find than morphine. my conclusion is that it is almost a broken leg (equal to a sprain or some other similar stress) that causes some unsteadiness but otherwise does not affect your movement and cures with morphine or splint (have not tried pain killers). seems that it will affect your aim and your character will occasionally make some noise about it.

omfg I almost spewed whisky all over my keyboard when the saxophone playin started.... dude that was awesome :)

in your left picture it looks like zero post process effects and in the right side picture it looks like low to normal post process effects. the bottom picture is not a scope zoom but binoculars, which I have not had the opportunity to test very well just yet, but again it looks like post process effects. disable your post process effect and see if that helps.

yeah I've never had a problem with zeds at night. I've only ever been attacked by one zed at night and that was after I shined my light in his face (was a pistol light so he died quickly). I have run right into them at night with no problems (yes actually running into them - no agro). the nights are just too dark and lights shine thru walls so I don't run at night anymore.

they are pretty recent - I found a pair on experimental yesterday but then experimental was updated and I somehow killed that character. did you find them on regular or experimental?

we have a winner!

well I'd have to say you are playing the mod and not standalone.

haha and about 80% of the time you will be looking for something really high to jump from so you can get your ass back to some place that makes sense :p well ok maybe only 50% of the time.

heh yeah you will likely be dead on respawn and you get to figure it all out again - part of the fun tho right?

if you are in svetlo you can put the water to your left and follow the coast to the ship at riffy and if you keep going you will end up in berenzino (largish town lots of loot). the water will be to the east and you will be running south.

they don't want our fingers getting fat from lack of use....

love the intro - welcome to the apocalypse. you will still get ganked at spawn from time to time and loots don't respawn yet so surviving on full servers can be a challenge but it can't be all bad or there wouldn't be so many of us here ;)

I use a toothpick or a paperclip.... would love a key for it tho.

I would suggest a SW route from svetlo/benezino - pretend you are running to zelenogorsk - and search every building you pass. you would be amazed at how many random buildings there are out in the woods. as for the berries make sure you are eating the right ones or you will die from berries not starvation.

experimental is where I play the most and I have no problems surviving (minus the occasional asshat with a gun or axe of course) - hell I even spend tons of time running around in the spawn towns just to see the madness and when I get bored with that I head inland and start stocking up on supplies with no problem. I've died a lot due to zeds, players and alpha but I have never starved to death in over 600 hours.

soooo was just playing on experimental and I get me some zeds comin in so I tells myself "no biggie" cause I'm packin me trusty ole fire axe. the first one arrives and I give it the usual nasty whack to the head.... then again and again and again.... by now zed no.2 has arrived to join in the festivities so I am whackin em alternately till they die - took around 5 to 7 hits each (mind you not all of those were headshots as I was busy steppin to avoid injury to my person and belongings). they linger as a corpse for a while longer now too. on a brighter note, they seem to be just a tiny bit slower. after all the fun I have 3 ruined inventory items, a ruined jacket (was pristine) and a badly damaged backpack (was also pristine). so I guess I now have new objectives - gear replacement.

hrm looks a standard KoS rant to me but I'll play..... KoSers are roleplaying from their perspective, they just play as homicidal maniacs, some with creativity (handcuffs et al..) and some with none (BANG! yer dead). to survive on a full server that's been up for a while get the hell out of the city and off the coast - once you are well inland there will be more loot, also you can pick berries for sake of dealing with hunger. so to recap: spawn, stay in town, die or spawn, run like hell inland, survive. to address the testing aspect - the KoSers are also testing so don't worry to much about the testing not happening, I assure you it is. on realism - what may be realistic to you may not be realistic to others, keep that in mind before leveling harsh criticism and insult to others for not playing your way.

yes please and give us a black back pack too would ya?

isn't that game called rust?

whoever it was is a good shot if you were running at the time.

indeed but the thread is well worth the read. for your convenience.... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/168707-the-ccsd-chernarian-creepy-stuff-department-needs-investigators-for-the-radio-transmission-mystery/ its a very long thread and I read it over a couple of days, I even participated for a brief period but found nothing to report back with - its possible I was too late for the show. with some luck the devs will put stuff like this in just to make it more interesting, I'm all in for discoverable lore.

hrm i'll have to try that again then - seems the last time I tried that it was only max zoom with + and least zoom with -

a lot of the sniper videos show a zoom that does not exist in the game, they zoom the image of the video to show better detail. the LRS only has two zoom positions so its possible you have witnessed the video zooming. on a side note I typed the word zoom so many times in this post it now looks funny to me....

seems like he wants helicopters back in general too..... someday we can make our own helicopter crash sites. :)

well at least he spoke to ya - the ones I hate are the ones that don't say anything and just go psycho as if shooting fish in a barrel constitutes fair play. but hey - its DayZ
