iv been finding alot of this http://i.imgur.com/BqUfO8I.jpg CLE kinda broken?

How many of those 3,000,000 sales would be hackers re buying the game after getting the vac stick......

I have an auto run half a clothes peg works well

I'm sorry to hear they have you a bad time mate like Irish said chaos like this will always be part of the game. Bandits are the reason I play, they make for good shootin' and tend to get ragey when outplayed. Don't let them get to you treat everyone as a threat untill the prove they are not one, this doesn't mean spray down every player you see just be at the ready, a lot of people tend to flip out and do stupid things when they see guys with guns. Only put down those you need to. Don't hate them or fear them as this is a sure path to the dark side, You will be a bandit in hours if you let hate of fear make decisions for you. Take being shot on sight in your stride, learn their tactics then proceed to hunt them relentlessly, makes for good fun.. Hope things work out.

or perhaps he will strike us all down, I must sacrifice beans unto him so he does not become angry and give me locusts and withered crops... epic read!

I have some of the worst Internet my country of very poor Internet has to offer I lag way less with this patch. Sorry to hear you lag more. I'm sure if it's not your Internet things will get worked out in the future, try back later I guess. Tho this is unfortunate it's to be expected with an alpha build

Iv tried being nice to people, that got me killed alot or punched in the face, tried nice again with motorcycle helmet got punched less but axed more, now im cold to the plight of others in the game i see some kid with a broken leg calling for help maybe if im in a good mood ill shoot him in the face but 9 times out of ten ill walk away because most times its a trap set up by some bandits to lure heros into help then shoot them in the leg take thier pants and gear then leave them there to crawl away looking for zombies or to starve to death either way not pleasant.

iv found tap fire with the M4 to work really well for short to mid range engagements so for me its the M4 with a buis or carry handle optics, although when i die next I'm planning on trying out the SKS to double check which i prefer the most, just giving both guns a fair shake of the sauce bottle...

I don't want to mention games but there is one that is very broken and has been out for months and is gradually getting worse as they release more DLC, its a twitch shooter made by a company backed by a massive corporation that now has the power to ruin what could be the best sci-fi FPS ever created now that Mickey Mouse sold them the rights to create it, join the dots you'll figure it out. DayZ standalone which has been created in a basement in comparison to the title I'm talking about feels better in its alpha to me personally than the game I'm trying so desperately to avoid mentioning directly. I commend the DayZ dev team for doing the best they can with what they have, fetures will come in time if i get frustrated that something I want isnt there ill play something else untill it is, but im sure when it comes it will be done right and if its not it will be removed untill they can fix it, just my personal opinion. You may come to a different conclusion with the same evidence and form a different opinion and I respect that because at the end of the day is'nt that what a forum is all about? :D

One hitting zombies with fire axes is lame I like the fact that multiple zombies attacking you is potentially life threatening just practice killing them with blows to the head, I know the melee is clunky but my friends and I have figured it out well enough. Zombies should be scary during all points of the game, they are zombies after all, there always should be a thought in the back of your mind am I about to get ravaged by some flipped out crack head who isn't a player??

The only binoculars Iv seen are the ones in the hands of a dude i shot with my mosin probs ruined his day like how he ruined the day of the other 2 dudes he gunned down as i watched thru my LRS. I hope to find a set soon or even after i die next because i like to people watch and add my own words to the silent film I'm watching from far far away - with hilarious results - perhaps in my own mind only... Does this make me crazy??? probably... But now I can be crazy without the temptation of cold blooded murder to deal with :-)

is that screenshot telling me he has 1.66973e+008 can openers?

I'm just thankful this game is more polished in alpha than some AAA titles are at full release, I know barricading will get here some day and Im happy with that...

I haven't noticed a change in finding the rifle its the ammo i have trouble with now, lets be honest most people that server hop to horde 100's of mosin rounds will fire maybe 2 of them, but for me over a play session I find it really hard to find any, in towns or in military locations, which is fine by me really just stating my observation in regards to the rifle and its ammo. Maybe its because there are a few more ammo types in the game now that are in the same spawn table, I dunno that's just how i rationalize it, perhaps its the same with the weapons themselves or as Pilgim mentioned stuff spawns where it should now, which is most likely the case.

Fear is the path to the darkside

airfields, military bases and military camps they are the few places ill shoot on sight unless the town i run into is clearly hostile.

im pretty sure everyone is going to feel the need to snap one off just as they get infront of the school in elektro should make for some interesting sniper montages!

i dont think that dude even seen you, totally could have taken his pants or just ADS and shot him the the head but anyway you got it done in the end even if half of Chernarus heard it happen and you ruined a perfectly good tent....

@ that guy I shot. Lulz you Ded. There is such a thing as a bad winner you know.

I play DayZ for the awkward social interactions.

I think walking and running is dangerous enough in the stand alone, fix my chalky bones first an then consider it perhaps.

I use a BUIS if I can find one. Turns the M4 into a beast. Doesn't cloud your perifia vision at all with pin point accuracy down range. Also try swap all the parts of the m4 with better condition ones as you find them I think that helps.

I "thought" i seen a guy axe murder another player in elektro hospital so i shot him he was dressed much like you are, it was a snap decision based pretty much on 1. elektro lol yeah axe murders happen and 2. his gas mask. Reviewed shadow play footage he was axing a zombie aggressively and trying to help a person with a broken leg. I feel bad about it but yeah it happened because of the gas mask and the location i guess oh and it turns out i blasted the dude he was trying to save as well I figured he was already dead... so with that said there is a chance if i seen you moving around a place like elektro and you didnt try to speak to me then yeah id probs shoot you.

first of all you should work for EA thats their tactic and 2ndly valve thru steam tend to slash prices around holidays. on the topic of hacking i dont think a price hike will stop hackers from playing considering i met a person who had been banned 10 times and forked over $300 AUD to buy the standalone over and over. A normal person would prefer not to get banned and have to buy the game again or lose thier entire steam account but hackers are not normal people, from what iv seen there are 2 types the first doenst care and has alot of surplus income the second rationalizes it like the dude in this forum "I got bored so i cheated for lols" or "im pretty sure that other guy was cheating also" either way just as bad as each other, if you have to cheat in a computer game for what ever reason you are bad at it in general you need to go do some outside stuff and leave the video games alone.

So my friend and I had a Mexican stand off with a bandit in a building he ended up logging out but as i moved toward my friend he fell thru the floor - i guess i pushed him into a bug spot - and broke his leg. He had morphine so he fixed his leg and we tried to get him out. With no luck using alt f4 or trying to vault I decided to get in there with him, given we are RL good mates i figured one in all in. with out any problem i fell thru the floor from the 2nd story. After some time of trying to escape and freaking out people that ran past we decided to try running at the wall full sprint and hitting reset on our computer, not without its risks i know but it seemed like a good idea at the time. we logged back into the game and as it turns out we traveled thru the building we were stuck in and ended up in the electro church alive and well also free of out buggy prison. I know this is known issue, getting stuck in places like that but i thought i could share my story of escape to try and help others but be warned you could damage your computer by resetting it, its unlikely but i can happen. Hope this helps some....
