For me absolutely no tanks in the game (or helicopters for that matter). I would welcome an improvised armoured "mad max" vehicle like your first pic but ONLY if it is very hard to craft and takes a team effort. The truck should not have too many fire ports / room for players. Say max of 4 incl. driver. Obviously there would have to be a way to stop / destroy the vehicle. Either by taking out the tires, some remote detonated explosives (IED) and a sticky bomb or maybe molotov cocktail.

sks with pu and magnum or fnx

Surely OP is trolling, or crazy maybe.

What may help you is that the gas mask is a disadvantage when playing at night as it sort of "glows" just like the sunglasses. So ditch the mask and your problem is solved while gaining some tactical advantage :)

If you had read the topic you would have seen I already admitted to that.

Did you try rolling out of there? You should still be able to stand up if you don't walk, try getting close to a wall, stand up and while facing the wall go prone, with some luck you will fall through the wall. If that don't work --> Start the game and go do something else while the game is running, you will eventually die of thirst / hunger. Sorry, can't think of anything else without having another player glitch and kill / heal you.

Do you really mean your mic or your headphones / speakers?

I don't think we should be able to fix a gas lamp to our gear while burning due to realism. You have any idea how hot a gas lamp becomes when burning? We have the headlamp for illumination while keeping your hands free and I agree both angle when aiming as the flood should be fixed. Edit: I do agree we should be able to hang the gas lamps on stuff. BTW: I would also like to see the old fashion storm lamps and fuel for it. In a setting like Chernarus I think the old kerosene lamps would be more numerous than gas lights.

Also check if no other functions are bound to LMB.

You know you play DayZ too much when you wake up in the morning and decide to be a woman that day...

Okay fuck it, you are right. I am actually ashamed now, I guess I got defensive by being called a jerk. I DID feel threatened by this player in the end though but I guess I could still have gotten out of the situation.

Okay, I understand that. I'm not trying to spin the story to make myself look better, I agree it is a form of KOS. It IS true I didn't decide yet what to do with this player when I started to track him down, his behaviour is what made me decide to not take any further risk. BUT: I do think there a several forms of KOS. One is where the other player is guaranteed not aware of your presence and you shoot him. The other is not making contact because the other player seems to much of a threat, for instance when the weapon is shouldered.

Is there a way to force animations of your character in the main menu? I'd like to make a gif of some of them but sometimes it takes ages before an animation is played.

I will try that, thanks.

No not really. But it is clear to me you only want to see this thing from one perspective so having a discussion seems futile. Can we agree this game is about survival and that is is a fact there are other players with weapons? If you agree his course of action was not a very smart way to conduct himself. I did hunt him down but I never said my initial motive wasn't to make contact. Once I saw him running around with his weapon up I made a decision to not take a risk with this person, I value my current character because I have been alive for a good many hours now (1 month), this is my first hardcore toon. (I'm actually still running around with most the gear I got from player pacific_coast -->http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/184031-confession-and-death-of-pacific-coast/ Having in-game interaction works 2 ways, if you act as being a threat to others what are the chances they will first try to talk to you? And just to let you know, in 300 hours of play this is only the 5th player I killed. Now if you really think I am completely in the wrong that is fine but please use arguments and not childish name-calling, thanks.

Big boy using bad words...Well if you read my post you'd notice he didn't have a melee weapon to begin with. He was fully geared and in camo, He did have a crossbow and bolts so he could have used that against zombies. If he didn't have rags he should have made sure he had some before going into town. Furthermore he had been running around town shooting for at least 15 minutes, he should have known he was drawing attention to himself. And lastly, like I said, he might have seen me, he shot his sks while I was within 50 metres of him and then showed himself with his sks in firing position. You would not have shot?

Well technically you WERE duping but I believe you it wasn't intentional. I can't really blame "yellow guy" for killing you, I would probably have done the same in his position.

Yesterday I shot someone to teach him a lesson. I was in Svetlo and could hear a player firing his SKS at multiple occasions, I assume killing zombies. He was some blocks away from me so I tracked him down, following his gunfire. When I finally saw him he disappeared around a corner and fired about 7 times in quick succession, it was unclear to me if he shot in my direction or had seen me but when I saw him again I shot him instantly taking no risk. I hope he learned it isn't very smart to run around a town shooting your gun and drawing attention to yourself. It is still best to use your axe and if you shoot to leave as soon as possible. Of course he didn't have a melee weapon because he wanted 2 primaries.(crossbow and sks) which imo is also not very smart, he should at least have used his crossbow on the Z's.

In a lot of videos I see players fumbling around with ammo and other stuff without success. Usually you see a message in the left bottom corner what is going wrong but I guess a lot of players don't look at this when they are panicked.

Oh if I remember correctly, make sure you bind "move forward" to "hold sec mouse button", not just sec.mouse button.

I have been able to change it as soon as I started to play DAYZ SA 2 months ago. Just make sure you remove ALL other RMB bindings in key bindings.

If you get the game please be VERY AWARE it is not finished yet, it lacks contents and has bugs and it will take a lot more time before it is the end product. I'm trying to avoid disappointment and whiny posts. Enjoy!

Okay, now read my very first comment again, imo a good trailer has some elements of the subject in it that are more unique than just a generic landscape. This is why the original trailer is pretty good, it sums the game up in a few images.

No shit Sherlock :) But since we only see some generic rural countryside I could also be an intro to James Herriot (lol not many will know that series I presume)
