Hostile (DayZ)

I agree with you on the tents. Seriously, disappearing 2 days after owner's death is kind of ...meh.. It's just annoying moment where "Ok mate, it's time to do some transfer between the tents, because these are the last hours before it will despawn". Give a chance to retrieve a control on a tent for owner for 2 hours after their death, if he won't make it, make it avaible for everyone to be claimed .

The names of the servers should start with like: DayZ - 1.7.1.4 | 3p: On / cross: On | Veteran | EU 69 | Hosted by carebears OR DayZ - 1.7.1.4 | EU 5976 | 3p: Off / cross: Off | Veteran | Hosted by real players

Thanks man, I have filled 8 water bottles with these tears. Also, btw. You are not their customer. You are a tester. You didn't buy anything from them and they do not own you anything for that! So you can shove it up your crying baby ass and get the hell out of here, if you can't keep up with this game.

The funny thing is, people tend to call me a pirate, due to me using torrented OA copy with my original CD-Key. As I lost/ate/broke/burnt/nuked the original disc, so I had to download one.

No power, no light.

You kidding me? I died today at around 11:45 CET. Respawned near elektro, ran into it, looted a bit, left it with: -AKM + 2 mags -AK-74 + 1 mag for a friend -Matches, Hatchet, Knife, Map, Compass, Binoculars, Watch -supplies for a friend: Hatchet, Knife, Matches, Map, Compass, Watch -Alice Backpack -M1911 with 6 clips -4 Bandages -3 cans of beans -2 water bottles -2 sodas -Smoke nade -2 Pain killers and 1 morphine I think -Barbed Wire. I still have this in my inventory I guess. Maybe it will come in handy. Logged out at 12:15 CET. So all this was gathered in 30 minutes. In the meantime, I used couple of pain killers, ate few beans for blood and drank 2 sodas I guess. Is it hard? NO. Is it more fun than before? Hell yes! Zombies are super duper easy to deal with in cities, I was maybe scratched twice or three times, lost blood was thanks to the bleeding.

Well, I did shot someone in the leg today. I was looting and killing people in the Elektro, went into some red brick house for some random looting, then some guy without anything went in there with me, he was looting another room. After noticing his presence I walked up to him and told him "GET THE FUCK OUT FROM HERE, OR I WILL SHOT YOUR SORRY ASS" (He was proning around all the time). He looked at me, after few seconds of silence and started proning back. Told him to "RUN ! STOP PRONING, START RUNNING!!!" He was still proning, so I said "You've got 5 seconds to start running, or I will shot you!", he didn't listen and I did shot him ... in the knee. After that shot he tried to get up but he felt down ... He tried this like 4 times and I was just standing there and looking at that pathetic attempt to run... I was stunned actually... stunned by laugh. I don't know if he bled to death, I don't think so, as I didn't receive any "score" for him, neither did he disconnect... I bet he is now crawling around Elektro without legs, that makes me smile :) .

I don't get it, why people tend to say it takes 1,5 hours to find your friend... Seriously, to run from Elektro to the NW Airfield, it took me around 1 hour (+/- 10 minutes)... WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN THAT TIME AT THE COAST ? Running around a building and asking on your 3rd party voip, "Are you behind that building?" and if not comes as an answer, do you run behind another corner of the same building asking the same question? Seriously, finding a friend takes from 5-30 minutes at max for me, a friend that never played Arma2... Are there really people who can't read the map at all (I'm not even talking about ingame item, that works as a map...). I do not have any problems with DayZ and walking around Chernorus after returning to Arma2 after 2 years of a break, neither does my friend that just bought it for DayZ...

You were probably in pain (shaky screen in first person camera, aka the real camera view) when you logged out, which means, when you return you will wait for...ages to stand up and continue your pathetic surviving attempt just to die few minutes later.

snip , forget it.

... Sometimes I seriously thing, there should be forced option to play just in first person... I would love to see tears on the forums about it btw.

You know what ? When I see a guy without a gun, I don't shot him, I tell him to run away ASAP or I will shot him. Not everyone listen to me, so I just give them warning shot into the knee, too bad they can't run anymore now. If the same players would have a makarov or anything, I would instantly drop them dead as soon as I see them and I have a good shot on them and relatively good way of escape from another players who are doing the same as me, hunting carebears for beans. So, I think it's indeed a better thing now. No weapon, no bigger threat to me, beside being able to steal MY loot from villages. No beans? Why would I waste a bullet on you, for painkillers ? For 1 bandages ? For a flashlight? Naaaaaah, I will pass, I prefer to spare your pathetic existence and tell you to GTFO from here ASAP or you will die. Good changes are good.

Don't get me wrong, I was stacked on beans and other supplies after 20 minutes in elektro (killed few guys, but yea...) FYI, Zombies still drop cans of beans and sardines... Just clear a village and you will be stacked with bandages, beans and soda, just from the zombies.

Arma 2 feature.

Oh hello there, good customer who buys games for mods. So, it is an Arma2 feature, that lets to resupply your ammunition, etc. from containers. So if there would be makarov ammo inside and your makarov side belt wasn't full, it would be refilled with new clips into that belt.

No it won't. It will just be on the edge of starvation, so you need to eat and drink very soon.

Zombies are undead, they are not living things. They are also using the most primitive instincts, that is sight, hear and smell. How do you think they can find you ? They hear your fat feet and awful smell of sweat, puke, blood and rotting food... That's also how I find your carebear pathetic surviving attempt and take you down with just few bullets to end your misery...

Indeed, I could combine them one way, not the other way... that sucked big time, as I had revolver with 1 bullet left and around 6 m1911 clips in my backpack... So, I could change them into m1911 rounds, I couldn't change them into revolver rounds.

I don't get it. People really enjoyed that easy mode at the beginning ? Anyway, how long did you used that makarov ? I usually find new secondary in 3rd building I search and a primary in first 5 buildings I search, that was too easy with also being able to defend against HORDE of zombies ! I was murdering people at beach with first makarov clip, why did I murder them ? Because I could and also they had stuff that I need and they were consuming stuff that I need to find! Now I need to find a weapon first, which is just a matter of 10 minutes >.>, bah, even faster sometimes. For an example, just spawned in Elektro, found some dead body near fire station, took enfield some beans and other crap from him. Walked into an apartment and noticed 2 guys on the other side of the street, were sweeping through supermarket, killed both of them with my enfield. After looting them I was set, map, gps, hunting stuff (knife, hatchet and matches), winchester, tons of food and ammo, revolver. All that in mere of 20 minutes of gameplay. I find it EASY because its HARD for other people to play, they are so careless and can't adapt to new things. I bet they heard of Arma2 after watching for the first time few clips of DayZ and bought the game just for that mod. It's ok, I don't have anything against that, but most of them think it's just casual BF like game... tl;dr Game was frakking easy before, it was even easier than some console port on hardest difficulty (read: VERY EASY Quake/Doom setting). People aren't used to high difficulty in games, are careless and impatient, they want everything on the plate right in front of their face.

Playing at nighttime servers is so easy to gear up and avoid zombies. Their LoS is way shorter, they are also almost deaf! Imagine, whole looting zones just for you!

Pitch black is also a solution to cheating through gamma and brightness correction. I've got 2 solutions. 1) Leave it as it is, making night play total pain for lonewolfing, though it's fun to play in group, throw 5-8 flares while your team scavenges whole town and moves on. 2) Totally lock the gamma and brightness settings to the default (1.0 and 1.0), enlighten the night just a bit.

Climbed on the wall at Devil's Castle in order to ambush some guy camping the middle tower, as I've heard him drinking some soda when I tried to enter that tower. When I was walking on the side of the exterior walls, I wanted to face the tower, I slipped then and broke my leg... I had whole 12k, bled to death due to looooooooooooong as ass timer, then someone with Czech bag looted my body full of sweet stuff, (the worse one than Coyote Bag which you start with). The bag was the only thing left on my body when I returned there, had Alice before ... .

1) Get to some bigger city, Loot few flats for primary weapon, preferably Enfield, due to it's effectiveness at range compared to winchester. Hunt few people leaving the town, if you are lucky you will get yourself set with a map, compass, knife, hatchet, matches and alice bag. Go inland, kill few carebears on the way and eat their precious 2*200 blood. 2) Pass the first villages and cities and rush straight for the inland. You will get over half the way to NW Airfield with just 1 water bottle and 1 can of beans, thus leaves you with 1 bean can + you can refil your bottle on nearby water pump or a lake. Then: Visit few deer stands on the way to NW airfield, you can find neat weapons and supplies in there, also check bodies of military zombies, they tend to drop interesting ammo for military grade weapons, you can have some problems finding that ammo later on. Try to get into barracks at the airfield, top end stuff is there, not that's so important to have it right away... You will find M4A3 CCO veeeeeeery fast, it's so common weapon and pretty good... Well, AKM imo is way better... but hey, it depends on what suits you more, I don't mind ironsights at all, actually I prefer them. Don't forget to kill carebears on the way and fill your water bottle with their tears if you are thirsty. That's my way of playing, mostly going for #1 right now, for some "Action" at the beginning. Currently, 3 days survived, 10+ murders, running near NW airfield and SS with just Enfield (I just love that gun).

YES. I barely even use the Makarov now, after spawning again. You can find PRIMARY weapon usually after checking any barn in your area... Gameplay is easy right now, but lack of weapon at start would add a bit of difficulty to it.

Yesterday, after dying due to fall from some castle wall >.> with my "neat" NWA gear and dying horribly by bloodloss, I've decided to try a weapon I have never used before, instead of farming the gear from the NW Airfield. So I picked up the Enfield, after killing 3 guys near northen Elektro fire station, I fall in love with that little loud gun. It's so powerful and so accurate it's just too good to waste my time trying to get something from deep inland locations. I prefer it over AKM or M4, as I can rely on other secondary weapons, such as PDW (Uzi) for mowing down bigger waves of stupid and glitchy zombies. Enfield is one of the most common weapons, at least it's ammunition, thus I can easily resupply myself in nearest barn or some village. Ammo for side weapons isn't that hard to get, even for that UZI, and even though, secondary weapon would be used in "Oh-Shit" situations or some CQB against few enemy players, not that you couln't use Enfield anymore, it's still reliable in CQB as most players are most of the time static and waiting for your turn. The only con of it is pretty loud, not a problem though if you can overcome that with sneaking and using secondary weapon.
