Dingus (DayZ)

Depends, but in this case, them being dead, I could say not very.

I feel that if those chances to frustrate the piss out of you were not present, the zombies would not pose the same kind of threat. Their standard attacks are relatively weak. It's those dice rolls that are killer, and since you can't predict what that die will land on, you tend to want to avoid the roll altogether. I do not agree 100% with how zombies were implemented in Day Z, and we've had a buffet of threads discussing their implementation down to the finest of details. As things are now though, INFEKTED provide an invaluable requirement of caution from players, particularly those alone. Of course, with enough buildings around, you can chance it and just run like crazy losing them in and around them. Oh, and hills too.

I actually watched the whole thing. Wow, he calls you dumb, but they don't move their position after you come there twice? Good work, haha.

Hey! I know that hill! :) It's fun, isn't it?

subtle thanks to Zorro55 for pointing it out, beans all around

Not shitting you.

Maybe the idea is that you can not 'realistically' carry on normal activity with 25% of the blood in your body missing. Granted, you can die from blood loss quite a bit before you are completely drained as well. It's frustrating, but that's Day Z. I'd be more concerned with stairs breaking your legs and killing you than zombies right now.

That's exactly my point. I have complete faith that 'some' server admins and their clans/groups/whatevers take full advantage of this. Common ignorance or failure to take note as a player leaves them largely unreported, and if they are... hopefully eventually disconnected.

Yeah, but all you need to do is put up a notice in the server title saying that you are testing or need to restart every X hours/minutes to keep it fresh or something. "TESTING SERVER: FREQUENT RESTARTS" I don't honestly think there is anything to prevent someone owning a server from taking advantage of this. "Guys, meet up at 8pm to dupe, we'll be 'testing' for about an hour."

It seems to happen around player structures, like barbed wire and tank traps. I get it really back, forcing me to completely avoid some populated zones.

I haven't used my guns often enough to even bother thinking about it. It is a good question though. I think they reset on a server restart though to full ammunition.

Godspeed in your journeys.

Apparently not. Not that I condone anything, but it was a funny thing to notice in this thread to me.

Shit happens, friend.

I can't stop laughing.

Like BunnyHillPro said, most prairies, especially those outside of towns. If you are lucky, you can find a boar on the edge of the forest while travelling.

Is this a serious thread? I can't tell.

If you don't play the game like a zombie shooting gallery, then mostly yes. Some weapons have some very choice ammunition, and those will be tough to justify hanging on to.

I prefer DMR for its usability in medium range exchanges. I also have little interest in hanging out 500-1k meters away picking off people. I feel the DMR is appropriate for responsive play and setting up an efficient level of sight/defense while my friends are looting. If you have a lot of time to prep your shots and plan on being a good fair distance from targets, I would bet on the 107. It just doesn't fit my play style.

Takes us about 20 minutes, parked next to a fuel tank, with three guys running back and forth with multiple cans. It's a pain, but it's a privilege.

Soda cans do not restore blood. They only restore your hydration (lol).

Oh you're too nice.

To be fair, you haven't really said anything.

No, not at all. I have plenty of cod in the freezer. I don't think we are on the same page here.

So wait... I can't figure out exactly based on how you wrote it, but are you sucking the "stalks" of your penis or is my mom doing it now? And why does your penis have "stalks" as in more than one? Maybe you should see a doctor. Besides, it was a simple request. I figure if you liked her, you may enjoy telling the world how you feel.
