We're everywhere, man. Everywhere.

& that's your right, & I support you. Come to Svetlojarsk, that may change sooner than you think. ;) Greet them with a "Good evening officer, what seems to be the problem?", answer their bullshit questions, then part ways & light a fatty.

Never said you did. So we're suppose to not voice ourselves & conform because that's just how it is? What about our 1st Amendment rights? It's unAmerican. We're a minority in your eyes. FYI, it takes the majority of voters to change such laws (i.e. Colorado, Washington) At no point did I say that I dislike our society as a whole. Quite the opposite -- I very much appreciate our society because I'm given the right to voice my opinion & be heard, where as in other societies I could be beheaded. What if MLK never voiced his opinion? There is absolutely no sense in making this argument personal. I'm stating my argument, & you're arguing incoherently. At what point did I say anything even pertaining to this whatsoever..? I have the same right as you do to act for change. Regardless of the amount of supporters & those who share the same views as I do. Please, show me what rules I've broken & I assure you I won't let it happen again. Although I'm sure I'm keeping my argument well within the rules & guidelines of this forum. If anyone is close to breaking rules, it's you, my friend.

So your argument stems solely from personal experience & not fact? & where are the facts that state that any of those crimes committed were nothing more than the byproduct of someone being under the influence of a substance? Every crime that you just listed has been committed by plenty people who were perfectly sober & in their right state of mind. Drugs are not the cause of 100% of crimes. In fact, crime rates have dropped significantly in states such as Colorado & Washington since the legalization of marijuana, because for one, it's literally no longer a crime to possess it, & secondly, it takes cash out of the drug cartels hands. & good, hard-working citizens now have a safe place to go to find their product. Colorado raised 2million in dollars in taxes in it's first month of selling marijuana legally. All of which went to school funding.

There is so much research & evidence that supports the idea that Cannabis is the most beneficial plant on the planet. Hemp literally has thousands of uses. Anything ranging from paper to the breakthrough for the cure for cancer. You seem to be pretty unknowledgeable of the matter.

Mind-altering substances such as alcohol which is perfectly legal? Who's to say that these "drug-crazed" killers didn't have an underlying sociopathic mentality in the first place? & as far as addiction goes, both alcohol & tobacco possess addictive properties, but those are both taxed & regulated by the government. The same government that wants to heighten gun control & disarm those who are prone to falling victim of these "drug-crazed" killers. Ever hear of "bean-rage"? When people are heavily under the influence of government regulated drugs to the point where their judgement is impaired & they do things such as commit homicide. What about all the societal problems of those & their families who have been incarcerated for minor marijuana offenses, although our very president of the US has admitted to using? What about all of my hard-earned, payed tax dollars that are being wasted on the incarceration of those same Americans who are facing multiple years in prison for something as minor as a gram of a dried herb? Something that flourishes naturally in many regions of the world. The same goes for those who suffer from things such as heroin addiction. They chose to use the drug, knowing what the circumstances would be, & they just as easily have the right to choose to go through rehabilitation. But instead my tax dollars are wasted on the incarceration of these fellow Americans rather than their treatment. Regions such as the Netherlands provide heroin users with clean, sterile needles to minimize their chances of contracting diseases such as aids. They treat them with the same respect & care as any other sober citizen. What gives you any more right than myself to determine that? I'll admit that my vision isn't picture-perfect, but neither is the justice system & society that we live in today. & ultimately, it never will be. That's life. But, given my natural born right, I will voice my opinion & stand up for what I'm passionate about & for what I truly believe in for those who share the same vision as I do.

I can't be incarcerated simply for thinking or voicing my opinion. These are also our rights as human beings. Marijuana is also grounds for a felony offense given the right quantity & jurisdiction. I strongly believe that all humans have every right to do whatever it is they choose to do to themselves. They're effecting no one but themselves, & even so, whether they are actually "hurting" themselves or not is entirely opinionated. The American government is the world's greatest distributor of drugs. But no one's incarcerating them now, are they?

For me, when playing on UK servers, my ping is ~130-150, & I notice my keys being a TAD bit less responsive. But yes, absolutely playable.

Speak for yourself my friend. It's a shame that a thread that's trying to squash negativity has to result in negative pessimistic responses.

I applaud you. Now if only the rest of this community could be as aware of their attitude as you. A positive outlook from this community is what DayZ needs to excel to it's full potential. What is going to motivate the devs to give it their all if all they get in return is spit in their face? Beans.

The idea is that we (the survivors) washed up on shore (the east) & must survive by traveling inland (the west). Yes I know survival isn't hard atm. Alpha.

I agree that checking pulse shouldn't display the characters in-game name. Our names really are just names that the government can document & regulate to know who it is they're keeping tabs on. Yes I know that people require names simply to socialize on a day to day basis, but in a post-apocalyptic world, the name that you had before society crumbled is now meaningless.

I can't exactly "confirm" personally, but I believe so. Why not just play regardless? If it happens, change servers. The stable branch wipe is well on it's way anyway. It's not like you're getting out alive.

Come up to Svetlojarsk on the FOG server. We'll show you a good time, I promise. :rolleyes:

How does this community not understand what "Alpha" means yet? BI strongly advised us to not by this game. Now I'm not saying that anyone is complaining in this particular thread, but people have no right in doing so.

Ohh, okay lol. I've never experienced them personally. But to my understanding it can go one way or the other. You have a bad trip & you'll be battling your brain for hours on end. Eating shrooms is literally intentionally giving yourself food poisoning for the desired effects. Hallucinogens just aren't for me. But to each their own. & what you choose to put in your body is your right as a human being. :) Just be smart about it. If you haven't experienced them yet, definitely educate yourself first. This is a great website filled with concrete knowledge & research pertaining to all drugs: http://www.erowid.com Users also share their personal experiences with all sorts of substances ranging anywhere from euphoria to train-wreck disasters. (Sorry for the pep-talk -- Just some friendly advice. & sorry for hijacking the thread ;) )

I hear you man, I was the same way when I first started playing. Although I've been a marijuana user far longer than I've been playing DayZ. This game really does just do that to people -- make them paranoid. & of course the ambient noises don't help at all lol. Not sure what zoomers are. Be safe & don't do anything stupid. :)

As others have said, the effects of marijuana are very subjective to the user. If it weren't for my name, no one would know I'm a cannabis enthusiast. ;) & I'm sure you've encountered far more stoners in-game than you're aware of. Sounds like this one particular guy just couldn't handle his substance. Everyone hates that guy when the blunt is in rotation :rolleyes:

Sorry to rain on your parade. :( & if I had wheels I'd be a wagon :D

Once bicycles are in, player speed is going to be reduced drastically. According to the devs, players run at roughly 30km/h at the moment. Which is essentially how fast you could move on a bicycle anyway. So once we see them in-game, you'll be traveling fairly slow to find said bicycle. & it'll be that much more time-consuming if you need to repair it. Be thankful for what you have now ;)

Haha it really is great :lol:

A full belly & "Healthy" status.

At no point did I say that it did.

This. Very yes. So much post.

Yes, hackers most definitely favor regular mode.
