I will never understand all these "lets make this game like every other game out there" threads. just say NO to everything but moar zeds n large hordes.

two words... item decay. your rifle will stay there till the environment ruins it at which point it will disappear. the tent will prevent this decay.

use a splint and try again. as for your "appealing rational" business you have been given the reasons for it in the game and in real life and you are still looking for something else, that tells me you are just looking to be argumentative no, windage has not yet been implemented.

well if it was a stream sniper you gave it away somewhere.

never jacked around with fishing - takes too much space for the gear and I can use hunting gear for other stuff. I run solo so I have never given or received a transfusion of any kind. still looking for a tent, used or otherwise.

didn't bother to watch. dude if you are going to stream your game live for the world to see and somehow let that world know what server you are on, expect someone to shoot you for it. don't wanna get sniped by a stream sniper? don't live stream your game or at least take measures to hide your server. pretty simple there bud. hackers and exploiters are still the lowest lifeforms in the game no matter how hurt your butt is.

stones will sharpen badly damaged axes and knives to the damaged condition. stones can be found if you take a pick axe to a rock and also by searching the ground that has a cobblestone texture that can be found in some of the towns and around almost all castle ruins. I have a pic of the texture that I will upload as soon as I find it. ok this is my first use of the spoiler so I hope it works

this gave me a good chuckle ;) I was just thinking to myself "I guess this guy doesn't know he's trash talking someone that was invited to the pre-alpha sessions..." yes, Hetstaine I have seen the vids :p

I actually had this conversation with my stepson (consummate gamer by the way) last night. AI animations don't draw after a certain distance (somewhere around 600 meters I think) but player animations do which is the reason I will occasionally pop a shot or two at the unsuspecting player when I catch one at that range. for an example... I was well north on the map and hunting my dinner when I spot a deer in the distance I judged my shot around 700 meters, the deer was frozen in place but I took the shot none the less and nothing changed so I advanced a bit and ranged in closer and took another shot, again nothing. I called a little BS on this and I ran right up to the deer, still frozen in place, dead as a door nail but still standing. I got the "skin and quarter" option once I was in reach and prepped my dinner. I have noticed that the AI will animate in the presence of another player regardless of the distance (if I can see em I can kill em), in these circumstances I will often shoot the zed and spare the player, yer welcome, stranger. anyway the point to all of those words up there is, sometimes you just have to hunt the unsuspecting to get your practice on a moving target. now if someone would kindly point me to a video setting I can adjust that's better than "very high" to provide for those AI animations at distance I will happily stop shooting at so many of you.

such an honor ;)

well well this explains a lot - thanks so much for the info and shouldn't we be able to recover these stats over time, sad to think its permanent.

ahh gotcha ;)

players or fresh spawns if no gear. I've just heard the term applied inappropriately so many times that I am loath to hear it now. as to the rest of your rant... I don't generally take shots at people unless they are taking shots at me so I have no idea how someone in that position would feel. having said that, if you have taken shots at me and I have decided to hunt you down for your rather egregious behavior I will certainly be pissed if you choose the cowardly act of combat logging and denying me the opportunity to show you what needs to happen every time someone chooses the path of the less righteous (no offense KoSers). in a game that can take hours to traverse the map while looting up to better gear the wasted time is more than a minor annoyance as it is my time that is wasted. as to the KoSing sniper with bad aim... don't take the shot if you can't make the kill, but most of the ones I've spoken with know this already and apparently they don't rage when faced with cowards that combat log at the first shot in as far as I can tell. were I the fresh spawn that had been fired upon by the nefarious sniping KoSer I would immediately seek cover or concealment to assess the situation and determine if I can at the very least cause the expenditure of valuable ammo and at the very best survive the situation long enough to continue my journey and possibly even find said sniper for a bit of revenge (and maybe a rife). if the sniper is successful what have I lost as a fresh spawn? if I combat log the sniper looses the opportunity to practice their art (as in-artful as it may be) and I have shamed myself in the face of the enemy. good thing we can't see your name with your character or your reputation would be in the toilet. the problem now is that you are equating the behavior of perfectly acceptable styles of game play, "bambi-KoS" and trolling or perversion (whatever that means) to hackers and glitchers and I am beginning to be offended by this completely unfounded comparison. just because someone insults your mother does not make him or her a hacker or even the equivalent of a hacker no matter how much you might be offended by it. eliminating hackers and glitchers from the argument leaves us with legitimate players that you will just combat log on. of course you are perfectly in your rights to combat log but it doesn't make you any less of an annoying coward when you do so.

so what rules were there in eve? if I recall a bit of banditry in hisec was simply responded to with a police action but this did not prevent the banditry in the first place as some people think its funny to try and pirate a capitol mining ship in hisec but hey their loss, and lowsec?? I simply couldn't risk the big ships there so it was always stealth and speed. I do not recall having the game ever tell me that I couldn't do something (unless it was outside the working parameters of the game engine and that's a physics issue anyway) I did get plenty of warnings on the consequences of my actions however. that is not the same as having "rules" as I was still free to ignore the warnings and risk my investments. with the exception of concord presence in hisec (and even that can change with a vote) all of the so called "rules" are provided by the various corps that run the game and the corps are the pilots. after all jita won't burn itself. I also question the whole "greatest sandbox game ever created" meme but hey your opinion and you are entitled it.

fun fun, grenade bait. but seriously, I encourage you to do so until I can't find what I need because you and your friend have hopped every server in my hemisphere to stock your shelves at which point I am so coming with that grenade. just sayin.

bambies too (hate that term by the way). while you consider your reasons for combat logging to be legit in your mind, the people whom you have combat logged to avoid may very well find it offensive and consider you a worthless coward for doing so. in their mind you have combat logged for the sake of combat logging. in actuality, from their perspective, combat avoidance, thereby denying them of their perceived right to fair play. for them you just combat logged how are they to know the reason you give yourself for doing it? in your battlefield example you combat logged because you did not agree with the others method of game play. from their standpoint you just quit on them, took your ball and went home as it were. no one was breaking any rules, you just did not like their play style (or lack thereof). so yes I see it as combat logging just for the sake of combat logging as I find your reasoning to be invalid. my opinion.

I find your methods of "conversion" to be rather somewhat extreme. I would simply have shot you outright the second you were in my sights and be done with you. no will forever mean no. I will never comprehend the "you must be my friend or else" attitude.

umm maybe its just me but I am pretty sure that "get the fuck away from me" means get the fuck away from me. just sayin.

ok so you combat log in battlefield too. what's the point again? this isn't battlefield, this is DayZ and the vast majority of the DayZ community find your combat logging offensive. oddly, more offensive than killing babies (which we cannot do in DayZ so your comparison was totally pointless). what I truly find amazing is that you sill do not think of yourself as a combat logger while you are clearly a SELF DESCRIBED combat logger. simply amazing.

sooo I'm just curious... if the tents are so easy to see where are all the "I found someone's tent!!!" braggers? I've only seen 2 vids of such and they were from experimental when the tents were released and everywhere.

heh out of the list of "grievances" you have here, only the first two are actual problems and, which has been stated already, are not being defended at all by anyone. the other two are legitimate game play whether you like it or not and are not PROBLEMS in the game. they are only perceived as being such by those who are offended by them. this perceived offense is due to YOUR personal OPINIONS on what is and is not offensive. if you choose to combat log to avoid some perceived offense then you have still combat logged. as I am sure you are aware by now, there are many that find combat logging to be offensive and by combat logging YOU are just as much a PROBLEM as the KoSers and "trolls" you choose to bash. clear enough yet?

soooo tried this again (doing my best to stomach the sprint animation) and got 3 yes 3 CTD at one of the electro firestations. edit: uninstalling and reinstalling currently....

fine, you go play the knuckle dragging ape, I'm going back to stable and hoping to god this gets fixed.

OMFG will NOT play until that wretched sprint animation is fixed - makes my eyes hurt to see such terrible animation in such a beautiful environment. sad day. Note to Devs: the previous sprint animation was just fine.

STOP trying to FORCE me to play with others - damn.
