    I think it's time.

    What I meant by "they should start telling us so" is that is that they shouldn't bother with bogus ETAs like "beta at the end of the year."

    Feed balancing

    Discussed over and over and over again. Yes we know this. The food is there for the taking for your testing pleasures. At this point dayz is nowhere near being balanced in anything concerning itemspawns. It's just not time to do so yet. Also I always carry 1-2 cans around. Usually the space is available.

    I think it's time.

    This game isn't nearly finished. They should just start telling us so. They JUST actually started. It's just a half year ago that they hired shitloads of new people and now they are finally going to make engine changes, what everyone wanted to begin with because everyone knew how bad the arma2 engine was. That essentially means they start more or less over. I grow impatient aswell, because I wanna play the proper game, but wishing won't help. Meanwhile I'll moan about stupid decisions, that's all I can really do (like still the retarded zoomlevel of ironsighted/reddot M4, and still placeholder ACOG. Makes you wonder when they have made the PSO scope which is x4, why they didn't make the ACOG x4 aswell, as it's supposed to be).
  4. Your pistols are probably ruined, it just doesn't display that for you. It's rather common that for some people ruined items appear as pristine while others see their true condition.

    Walking makes you healthy?

    Healthy is simply your health at 100%. If you are energized and hydrated your blood regenerates. If both effects are darkgreen, 1 blood/second, if lightgreen 3/blood second. Once your blood is up to a 100% aka 5000 points, your health starts to regenerate at 5000. No more myths nows. No walking. And yes you had "healing", you just missed it. When you are a freshspawn, your health is almost at max.

    Is it to easy to gear up?

    Takes me longer to find a gun these days, but food is hardly ever a problem. I restrict myself from serverhopping though, deliberatly making it a bit harder. If the server is online for longer periods of time like "Oldschool DayZ Hardcore 4h restart" then it gets even harder. Imo the best server. I also find it kind of "hard" to find a hoodie in a favourable colour often in a whole town. Going to the airfield saves time really, you are guaranteed to find a SKS there and you drown it is ammo. The towns with their semi empty trashloot filled buildings where you have to crawl up stairs oh so often don't seem worth looting. Let me edit in: For me the main gameplay issue with dayz is proper progression of building up your character. I'm of course no game designer but I can not think of any elegant way to deliver this (maybe that's what Dean meant when he said that DayZ is an intrisicly flawed concept). The best possible way is if you keep killing and looting players that are slightly better geared than you. But of course this is not going to happen. If they make the loot way rarer in cities, no experienced player will bother looking through countless empty houses, being forced to climb stairs, costing time, but everyone knows the loot can't stay as it currently is.

    Listening skills...

    1. I know about the firestation roof, does not help you though when you approach from south, north or west. 2. I'm not talking about the ACT roof,but the control room. 3. Flashbangs and nades are not abundant. Campers are on 3rd person. You still propose close combat that will just cause my own death, regardless how good I play. Believe me, that desync shit is the main cause of my deaths. More than 60% of my deaths atleast account to desync in Closequarters. I kind of don't understand your scenario here. Why would they be prone watching the stairs in the control room? They'd watch outside and see me approach and shoot then. If they fail to kill me then (which is unlikley, as they have all the advantages), they still can have a man on the stonestairs, watching the entrance, completly invisible to me, peeking with 3rd person. And of course I can do the same outside. The problem being though that I have to come in and clear him out, he doesn't. I will expose myself as soon as I enter the hallway/entrance of the ACT, and he will be coming out of his hiding with his gun pointed at my head or chest, already shooting when he leaves his hidingspot. And this is why its called babycore. People just sit there and watch everything without exposing themselves, knowing it's hard to get rid of them and requires way more skill and planning than what they demonstrate while camping. In 1st person it's perfectly valid to approach NWA from any direction. In 3rd person it's only reasonable to enter from the east, to check for firestation campers and ACT campers. Forcing me to be pigeonholed there, limiting my valid options.

    You obviously have hardly played the game. Otherwise you'd know that if you run around on the airfield alone or with 2 people only and suddenly a sniper rises on the ATC or Firestationtower unexpected, you basicly are fucked if they are any good. One of your guys is going to die. They spotted you while you could not hope to spot them, via 3rd person. 3rd person basicly is the campers best friend. To Etherimp. As for countering campers I call bullshit on that. If your camper knows what he is doing, you are required to storm his building and we know how that will turn out. Let's say he is in the ATC on the NWA. Either you die approaching the ATC when he suddenly stands up and shoots you while doing so, or you and him are going to die in the shitty closecombat desync of dayz. In 1st person he can't know where you approach the ATC from, unless he exposes himself, leveling the playingfield. Also 3rd person is basicly about luck. If you are lucky enough to be in a situation where you can exploit 3rd person and your enemy is not, you win by default. For instance, I see someone, being at the short corner of a building where I can peek, he is at the long corner, where he can't. Not realising that I see him and we are only 6 meters away from eachother. And he never had the chance to spot me because I'm completly covered by the building we are both leaning to. Also, I'd be okay if the vehicles allowed 3rd person. For the simple fact that they fucked up 1st person vehicles in the mod and are going to do so here again. Non-functional mirrows, too high or too low seat positions while in the car Etherimp, respect to you for presenting valid arguments, even if our positions are diffent. I'm glad you didn't throw bullshit at me like it was thrown on you "dayz is not a racing game, duh!" <--this shitty kind of argument I am tired to read.

    The mod had not as many opportunities to hide in buildings though. I played DayZero, which already had 1st person only. And why would I go back to lame combat just because of vehicles, when I can have proper combat AND vehicles? What could possibly get me going back to noobish wallpeeking and campers on firestation roofs and appartments, that can't be detected unless they show themselves to shoot me?

    Sniper does a dying swan impression!

    Do you see how that guy is unconscious already but his gun still fires one more time? That's my main problem with dayz.

    xSmaK plays softcore, makes him not worth my time. Peeking over walls like a noob. Sacriel might be better. There are some good players out there that prefer secrecy though. I'm kinda pissed about the damn streamers giving away all their locations. And not only that but I experienced that people dress like the damn streamers. For instance people running around with baseball caps now. My squad did that since releaseday, and now more and more people do it, because the streamers do. Pisses me off. Also Benedictus, if you think there are no good players simply because there are no public means to show that off, i question your sanity. There are plenty skills you can have in dayz that don't involve shooting. I'd even invite a guy to my squad who just watches, is good at it and provides the rest of the team information, even if he is a bad shot. And ontopic: It's all about trust issues and not about them being unable to listen to you. Trust is the most valuable thing in dayz as it's scarce.

    You suck? Then why should we bother, also, doesn't this stuff belong to the gallery? Advertising your channel is hardly a "general discussion".

    Getting our asses kicked

    Takes some courage to post someone's wipe. Most people only show off their wins. Anyway. 1. Desync maybe 2. NEVER SHOOT A TARGET THIS CLOSE FROM 3rd PERSON 3. "he didnt lift up his gun" Fucking desync. It's the MAIN cause of my deaths. Closequarters in this game is balls.

    How I feel fighting against Hackers

    I don't roam the coastregions. That's how I avoid them. And if we notice something fishy going on elsewhere, we run as fast as we can.

    What's your favorite clothing?

    black/grey/green/brown Hoodie camo/green/black cap brown jeans low hiking boots brown/black gloves. I wish there was unicolour hoodies or that their arms would be way darker. And that I could make the hair blonde or red. http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/31842615982315427/3D6721A7466CF0947E3EB583E3E8E00C89E5BF14/

    Just stop..

    ..."friend, some guy camping in some window shot me in the head and my friend managed to leave" Thats why you play first person only. Less campy. Also yea, I don't get why people even bother talking to you when they shoot you anyway. Whenever I rob someone, I rob them only and let them leave, and usually my robberies tend to be "gentle". I don't take much. Then again this rarely ever happens because either I'm at NWA where no prisoners are made, or if I'm a bambi I never let myself get catched. Though 3 days ago I was caught looting the north camobuilding, north of NWA and couldn't get out. I yelled "well just kill me, don't tell me to do some stuff when you are going to kill me anyway". Three young german guys came in, wanted my sks and left me alone then. How fortunate! (From this point on all remaining text is just how glorious it went after that) I left the building to assist my friend in a firefight, tried to axe his opponent, failed, picked up a weapon from a guy he just shot...killed his remaining 2 enemies, aquired M4 from one of them, went to Southcamo and killed 3 more :Ö

    Cruel Joke or What?

    Are you shitting me? Cut down a random tree or bush and get sticks and combine with rags. Any axe will do and for bushes even a machete. Id go insane by the rate at which my arm break. Almost every 2nd zombie wrecks my arm.

    R.I.P. Thread, characters before wipe

    I can't bear the shitty missing sounds at this point anymore, just like my constant death due to desync in closecombat firefights. Right after that shit happened with the sound, i acquired another M4 only to lose it again to a guy I shot while switching his weapons from mosin to akm (he did not have the weaponswitch bug, as I saw him move normaly before). He then aimed at me, despite having eaten 10 bullets already and shot me dead in 3 shots. Then, he died.
  19. Private shards on their own do nothing. You will whitelist ANYONE. There is no evidence available on WHO hacked as long as we can't look into serverlogs.

    R.I.P. Thread, characters before wipe

    Got shot at by unhearable gunshots, we only heard the impacts. Turns out we fled right into his arms. Thanks soundengine, bye MP m4 ACOG.
  21. Why would you store a weapon next to an empty mag? It doesn't make any sense.
  22. Khanarac

    Mosin wrap?

    Hold the wrap in your hands and look at grass. Also, it sucks. We call it toilet paper. It compromises your position, it's way too damn light. Why can't we cover it in dirt or spraypaint it? ....who....even....designed ....this. After using it the first time, everyone can see how it fails in any situation. There is no plant that even has a remotly similar colour. Also the wrap is placed illogical over the parts of the weapon you have to operate, like the chamberwindow and lever. But not over the front of the scope, that could use some concealment...
  23. I think its excellent that they move it. The tents there are the whole reason why they couldn't allow spawns at elektro and cherno. I hope they remove the damned barracks aswell.

    A dirty hold up...

    People always kill hostages, I don't get why anyone would ever surrender like this.
  25. Damnit. :D I'm the one he shoots, the woman.
