haha yeah I forgot about that ;)

yup happened to me on experimental last week I had just whacked 4 with my axe drew agro from a single and we danced for a bit cause I couldn't hit her for shit then she jumped and I was dead - now I was full health all three bars bright green and she hadn't even hit yet till the jump - I had assumed maybe a sniper but no one ever came to claim my choice gear soooo I got one shotted by a zed. now we know. zeds are effin dangerous.

likewise - and that was with all the crap I forgot to turn off runnin the background.

fun times fun times. NEAF is a serious tempter too cause there aint a lot of cover and you can see whats comin and goin pretty easily - that does have a flip side tho.

that would rock :p

disable post processing I believe.

so I guess not too many people actually play the game as a survivor. I've got 510 hours now and I have killed one person (came at me with a knife on day one) and shot at two others. the first person I ever shot at was a legitimate attempt at more gear so I guess that amounts to banditry (I lost that fight to his axe when I ran outta ammo, lesson learned) and the other one was prowling around at NEAF so I tossed a couple down range as discouragement (never saw him again). I've spoken to about a dozen people with mixed results and been shot at a few more times than that, again with mixed results. I play the game around the edges of where all the hubbub happens and observe what people do. I've seen some horrible things in my travels across the map and I've been witness to interesting, possibly helpful things as well. to me the point of the game is to keep my lil girl alive and healthy and I have found the best way to do that is to avoid as much player interaction as possible. I am perfectly happy to creep thru a town behind someone else and pick up the things they leave behind. I am alive and I have a clear conscience. I am not a bandit.

dammit - after this I couldn't help but watch that - now I can't unwatch that... oh well a few beers from now it matter anymore I guess edited fer spellin

yeah my stable regular char is loaded with some gear I've been holding for my son but I'm seriously thinkin about just droppin it off at the nearest police station cause I have no idea when the boy will take a mind to load the game and we can play. as for the gear, I can just imagine the eye bulge of the unsuspecting passerby finding a pristine, fully kitted M4 and 5 full 60 mags with an extra stack of 60 to keep it interesting (I have to change my play style to accommodate the new zed behavior and the M4 was my carry wep) oh and a pristine compass (not that anyone really uses those after the first week of playing anyways). I used to have an ACOG but I dropped that M4 on accident one day so its got one o those red dots.

heres a compromise, add a toggle for the ambient sounds but not the effects. that way you can turn off the birds, gates, weird guy whackin the barrel etc. but not the sounds of incoming zeds, gunshots and those sneaky lil footsteps. but you will be missing so much when the frogs are added oh and crickets, we have to have crickets for sure (cause I still aint sure). I would imagine a muffle would have to be included for the sneaky lil footsteps so as to not grant too much advantage to the person who toggles off ambient sounds. just a thought.

dude you get it on video I would definitely be interested in watchin it

I think they might spawn back in town close to their original spawn location. but it does sound like a lot of fun to try out. I'll see if I can log on with a friend tonight and give it a go. edit: I forgot to mention - I love science :) beans to you sir!

try clicking your rmb, sometimes I do that on accident and with no weapon or with a melee weapon in hand she just walks

I can see it now... 3 months with a character and no shampoo my lil girl will have wild hair and maybe even dreads... I can live with that as long as they are red dreads

oh you're quite welcome that place has the advantage of being just a lil north of a school, construction site, train station and some mondo storage units too. oh and no zeds as of yet. its also easy access to lopatino which has good loots as well but its got a fair share of zeds - I like to target practice out there sometimes.

I know right?? and we got here before the merge :p

oh roy you so secksi ;)

oh I've read it so many times on the forums "how to avoid being killed on sight? stay outta sight." that's a pretty easy concept as well as a pretty easy practice. KoS is a fact of life in the game.

yellow house with all the food if I am not mistaken. there is a new water pump at the unnamed town but this one has been here since I've been playing and town kinda surrounds it now http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#6.017.033

hair!! I wanna change my hair color dammit. I want me some red. and some style too. the granny bun is getting annoyin. :)

yeah usually I see my sleeve is torn and dirty when the aim animation plays and that prompts me to check the rest of my gear - it could be a graphics setting tho - I tend to run all that pretty high

yeah that's where I get water when I go there now - I found that when the town was only like 6 houses a couple o months ago - somehow I keep thinking this town also sits within the scope of the pump that's off the NW corner of NEAF but it doesn't, I bumped into that one again last weekend when I was stalking some guy I missed leaving the AF - I really need to practice leading my shots more, maybe take the mosin down to berezino and take pot shots at everything that moves....

the look of your clothes does degrade with its condition - that's usually how I know I need to patch my jacket and pants - they start lookin all dirty and ripped up.

I think ya got em all and yes the place is an open treasure chest with only other players to get in the way your retrieving the prize - I've run thru it in the dark before and got myself lost so I logged in the next day with some daylight and was just astounded at what all is there, I never did find a water pump tho.

I just love it when people join the forums just to make this kind of crap their first post...
