Use the fear. It will make you better. Put yourself in risky situations and the fear will keep you on your toes. I was sniping from a building earlier while my teammate was down checking another building and I thought I heard footsteps. It could be ambient sounds like I always hear, but I checked anyways. Immediately to my left was a guy with a shovel who opened the door to the room I was in. Being afraid and keeping my eyes and ears opened saved me from losing my LRS there.

I would love vehicles sooner rather than later for the simple reason of it opens up more of the map to people. Yeah, you can run up to the northwest airfield now to get gear, but it's tedious so you never see anyone there. You never see anyone in almost any town in the center of the map. Right now it's all Elektro, Berezino, NEAF, and Balota now that tent spawns are working again. Occasionally some fresh spawn killers at Solich and Kami. I just want to have to worry about running into people anywhere. Without vehicles, I can run to the middle of the road in the wilderness and go AFK for 15 min and come back and still be sitting there untouched.

Don't log into experimental servers if you want to keep your character
Facetentacles replied to thequantum's topic in General Discussion
This is actually extremely common on experimental and why I rarely bother with it unless there's a fancy new feature I absolutely can't wait to try out -
Want to See Molotovs in This Months Update
Facetentacles replied to blunce's topic in General Discussion
I can see myself killing.... Myself... Many many times with a poor throw trying to flush someone out. It's happened plenty of times in CS:GO -
Far more entertaining than last night when a zombie made me bleed and I tried to bandage while my friend killed it, and I apparently stepped in front of him and took an axe to the face. Then right as I ran back and got my gear the server reset and I had no gear. I may be a bit bitter. ;) But I'm glad you got to experience the thrill of a good old Elektro bloodbath. :)
-
Don't rely on the sun for direction anymore. Since they changed around reset times and all that it has ended up with me lost in the middle of nowhere too many times now. I actually started carrying a compass again
-
I hit a zombie yesterday at 800 meters but as far as people go, I'm not sure I've even attempted anything over 600. Just recently adjusted my settings to where I could even see people that far

Why does DayZ use the ABO Blood Type system? Wouldn't they be using Jan Janský nomenclature?

That is the funniest thing I'll hear all day. Beans -
Is the LRS really as rare as people say it is?
Facetentacles replied to TheWizard14's topic in General Discussion
I just found one of those earlier in a hangar... LRS, however, I have only found on corpses -
Version 0.43+ Known Issues List (April 4, 2014)
Facetentacles replied to blazinone's topic in General Discussion
Lol no no, I get what you're saying about a whole stack of bullets being ruined, I just said one bullet ruining everything as in the one bullet fired from a gun that passed through the backpack ruining everything in it. Glad it's being looke in to, even if it's not high priority though. Thanks, mate :) -
The other day my friend killed some guys loaded with SKS ammo and ended up with around 475 rounds for the SKS. 2225 rounds of anything takes it to a whole new level though. Wow.
-
Agreed. Garages. I almost always find one in a garage, or the little brick diner type houses. There's a road north of NE airfield that sort of leads to the new towns I believe with random garages on the road, although I haven't tried it in a while so it may actually have the towns there now, or Cherno has an area with around 20 garages all in one spot

Version 0.43+ Known Issues List (April 4, 2014)
Facetentacles replied to blazinone's topic in General Discussion
I'm not saying it works correctly, I'm just saying one stray bullet hitting a backpack shouldn't ruin everything inside. No way to make it so each bullet that hits a backpack only ruins random x amount of items? -
It may not tell you your arm is broken, but it's broken dude. Splint or morphine yourself and you'll be good. Happened to my friend the other day an after I gave him a splint he was solid

Really for only being out for 3 months, the game is very much playable. For alpha, that's not bad. There are bugs, yes, but there are also games fully released with gamebreaking bugs. It's not that bad. Running everywhere sucks, but it still only took me around 15 min to actually make it from Pavlovo to Berezino yesterday. Jam something in that W key and go AFK for a few minutes. It goes by pretty quick. Once vehicles are added, though, I think you'll see a lot more people out in the world and not Elektro death matching it. Plenty more to come. Don't play if you don't like it right now. You still own the game and get it when it goes to beta or release.

First friendly encounter in a month (Sad ending)
Facetentacles replied to HiddenPuppy's topic in General Discussion
Did he have his weapon in his hand when he went to get on the ladder? It kind of bugs out and makes you run while trying to put it away and sends you flying off the building. Happened to me yesterday. 330 hours in the game and it was my first ladder death ever. Had broken legs from them, but never died. Anyways, good read and sorry about your friend. At least he died being a nice dude. -
Version 0.43+ Known Issues List (April 4, 2014)
Facetentacles replied to blazinone's topic in General Discussion
Honestly this is one I hope never gets fixed. Having one bullet go through a backpack and ruin everything inside is one thing, but having it hit and ruin every single round in a stack of 30, and another stack of 30 in a different slot, and another elsewhere... Sheesh. Although this is why I keep extras in other places like pants, vest, or shirt -
True, but if they're going to keep adding guns the way they are, may as well make them awesome. Don't get me wrong, I looked forward to the .22 rifle they added, and since it was added I can't find magazines for it to save my life. Meanwhile, go to any airfield or military base and you find like 5 m4 mags. .22 mags and rifles should be way more common than they are, but if it's going to continue to be easier to find military loot, getting CS-like weapons will at least dilute the pool and give more variety.

As much as I would love for it to be a p90, that's just more ammo to find laying all over the place. Hopefully it's something using either 9mm or .45, like the mp5 or ump Now if they added a five-seven handgun to the game too... Then fuck yeah, gimme that p90

Getting Kicked From Server "Update Required"
Facetentacles replied to manicfury's topic in General Discussion
Go to Battleye's website and download the .dll file. Copy it into your steam>steamapps>dayz>Battleye folder. Should be good to go. If that doesn't work you may have to delete a folder in your appdata folder. There's a good tutorial on the troubleshoot forums if you need help http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/182917-battleye-solution-for-failed-to-update-kicks/ -
If I know the guy is at range with an m4, the way it handles right now, I don't even worry about suppressing fire because I know there's no way he'll even hit me from a distance with that thing
-
I still think there needs to be some sub-machine gun options to use up a lot of the pistol ammo

Where do I find leather jacket?
Facetentacles replied to DayZ_Friendly's topic in General Discussion
I've only seen one since the patch dropped. Rare loot is rare it seems -
I just ran into a guy at an airfield with no weapon. Told him to leave and I wouldn't shoot him while he was wildly crying "don't shoot me! Please I'm friendly" Then he ran off. Right to my friends on the other side of the airfield. They told him to leave too. A couple of us ran out and he came back in with a 1911 pointed right at our friend that stayed in the jail. Caught it in time and nearly shot him before he made like a ninja and vanished. This is why I don't trust people in this game.

Anyone else experience this, or have I lost my marbles?
Facetentacles replied to consortiumczar's topic in General Discussion
You mean like playing Mario cart on Super Nintendo and your whole body moving with each turn you took? I still do that on console games but not the computer lol
