I'm in Elektro. My name is Ofc Darren Wilson. I see a black character looting the supermarket. He exits, holding a machete in his hands. I call out 'Freeze!' He runs towards me swinging. I shoot him dead. 5 minutes later 2 other black characters attack me with pistols shouting 'why did you shoot our friend?! He dindu nuffin!'. I die. The end.

God, that video got me so pumped! I can't wait to be able to do that to someone in game while screaming on mic like an autistic kid who just missed this weeks Dr Who. season finally. THIS is EXACTLY what I'm waiting for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW9Q1cm_Tnw?t=35s "shh shhh shh hshh shhhhh"

It's almost like these people have zero historical or sociopolitical perspective on the nature of human development and interaction. These people truly have a 'slave morality' in the Nietzschean sense of the word. When the real collapse of society happens, as it inevitably will, as it does to all civilisations, I imagine their last words will be something along the lines of "NO, PLEASE NO, ARGHHH! HELP HELP HELP!" as they get stuck with a bayonet, their attacker smiling smugly, whispering "shh shh shhhhhhh". "But that's not fair! HMPH!"

I think the crux of the matter is that there's always going to be come people who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions so they always blame society.

Wow, I made a thread saying something really similar the other day. Could not agree more. You wouldn't rush a town in real life looking for the closest MacDonalds if there might be a pack of wild baboons in there, so why rush a town in DayZ and complain when equally savage bandits rip your shit up?

I'll never understand why these cheaters aren't VAC banned.

I don't see the reverse psychology in my OP. I am a bandit, a proud one. The hunting of the most dangerous game excites me. There's nothing quite as exciting as tracking another player, watching their movements, then when you see your chance, when there's absolutely zero possibility that they can survive it - destroying them. Not for loot, not for a notch count, just for the pure pleasure of it. And yes it is their fault for being inept at surviving, the vast majority of people I kill are wannabe bandits, strutting around with their SKS out looking for fresh spawns to kill(I also kill fresh spawns). My only disappointment is that I can't take people real slow with a knife from behind, like this Surely nothing could be more satisfying.

Yes, you deserved it for not hearing the footsteps and taking steps to hide or fight. Or maybe for being there in the first place and not scoping it out first. I imagine most of the people who complain about it not being 'fair' are liberal "GIB ME DAT" types who think they deserve stuff for merely existing. @ all the people who are complaining about bugs - no shit, obviously you don't deserve that. Shit my legs magically break in houses all the time and then I'm dead. We're talking about combat deaths.

It's weird that everyone is running around like an Olympic athlete who seemingly never gets tired or worn out. Not to mention the fact that DayZ's sprinting speed is too damn high. Jogging speed is fine, but sprint should be limited to 20 seconds max, then it should recharge only if you stay still or walk.

Every time I die it's in a situation that I've deliberately put myself in, it was no ones fault but mine for 1. Being in that situation and 2. Not being good enough to survive. Already I can hear the cries of 'BUT MUH NEW SPAWN, NIEN WEAPONS TO FIGHT BACK'. BS. I bet about 99% of the whining about death is people looking for some fun killing and EASY LOOTZ in Berezino who then get killed by the people they were hunting. "Plz, we need to know who's a bandit". You're probably a bandit, asshole - you just aren't very good at it. How hard is it to survive in DayZ and get cool stuff? Not hard at all, just don't shoot at anyone. It's simple. You suck. You're looking for trouble and you're finding it, then not enjoying what you find.

Does anyone remember the good ol' days of the mod when you could launch someone from cherno to elektro with the simple tap of the fire axe? Them's some ragdoll physics I want to see.

Too many people have M4s, AKs and SKSs. They should exist in the game, but they should be much rarer. Bolt actions are fine, bows are great. I feel like groups should be fighting with small arms more, pistols, sub-machine guns, the odd rifle, improvised weapons etc. Pistols sucked in the mod, they're a lot better now in the SA. People should be fighting house to house with .45s, tec-9s and that one mosin you only have 12 rounds for.

If they devs think the shotgun is working properly then I'm done. ~waits for 'can't aim', 'bad internet'~ posts.

No one really understands why certain things aren't working or prioritised because the dev team doesn't seem to want to communicate with the players on the forum.

Pretty sure the devs know how to code, bro. There's other reasons why the silencer doesn't work yet, apparently.
