That can only be determined based on actions, not words. And for the hostile ones you don't find out until it's too late....

This is cool. I'm in.

DayZ is a GAME.

I say that all the time.

It's not until you play video games with built in voicechat systems that you really start to understand just how messed up some people in this world really are.

The problem I have with night is the whole darkness part.

Not sure if you understood what I was saying so I'll clarify. With the current ballistics system and non-optimized code that is causing less than excellent FPS rates for most people: I personally find sniping a moving target difficult, especially at ranges >500. I wasn't saying that I find targets 500m away a threat which is what I think you may have interpreted what I was saying...

I don't descriminate. I will snipe anyone who poses a challenge. Normally I snipe from >500m so any moving target is a challenge, armed or not. If you are fully kitted with an M4 I don't understand what the challenge is in killing a fresh spawn at point blank range...If you're trying to snipe someone from a really long distance then I don't have any problem with that. It's not a guaranteed kill and if you don't get them with the first shot then most noobs are willey enough to aligator their way outta there safely. What I don't like are the imature kids who will verbally harass noobies using vulgar and inappropriate language before and after they kill them. It's just not called for and it's dishartening that some people take pleasure in that. Maybe it's just me but I don't get it.

You die way too much.

If day and night are accelerated then it would seem to me that anything else involving elapsed time would would have to be tweaked to reflect this change. Well if time is passing by 10x or 20x faster then I could see in issue with starving or bleeding to death with little to no warning. Just a thought.

I remember Punk Busters used to kick people running Nvidia GPU monitoring software in certain games because it would draw your FPS on the screen and applications that are detected drawing things on your screen could be hacks. Same concept.

Yeah, wait until you see what's going on in experimental. Zombies now 1 shot ruin vests and other clothing without even giving you a bleeder. A couple of days ago I went through 3 vests in an hour from random swamps of respawning zombies that happen to get one lucky hit on me and ruin my vests and most of what was in there.

Speak for yourself, I wear pants on my head sometimes.

That sardines come in tuna cans and tuna comes in sardine cans. Does tuna and sardines come in the opposite style cans in europe than they typically do in the US or something? I cannot understand this. It is very painful.

Thank god

Remove the orange backpack.

Depends what you're into. Sniping high pop cities have quick gratifications but usually doesn't end well if you stick around very long. I prefer areas that are a little more out of the way and cozy. There are a few towns inland that are great for sniping, but as someone else said you should go on a low pop server and look for yourself.

There were 3 of you heading from West to East through Dolina last night, fully geared. One of you stopped to look at the car outside of the police station and got 1-shot in the head. One of you ran inside of the police station and after about 5 minutes of hiding you peeked out of the back window and got 1-shot in the face. The third one of you either ran off, logged, or went MIA. If that was you guys....hi :)

I agree. I'm all for realism but it IS a game and it will make for a better gaming experience if were able to voluntarily with everyone else on the map. I agree with no voice chat but an opt-out version of global text chat would be really well received by most I would think.

It's not you. Happened to me a bunch of times recently and I thought I was just getting unlucky on logout and zeds were getting to me. After like the 5th time I pretty much concluded it wasn't me. Popped back over to stable for the time being.

Similar happened to me. Happened upon a rabbit at the NWAF. Walked up behind it pointing a shotgun and was about to pull the trigger when outta nowhere it stands up on it's hind lets, turns around and ties the barrel of my shotty in a knot. Then it pulls my boonie hat down over my eyes and sticks a cigar in my mouth. It lit the cigar and 2 seconds later it blows up in my face....I'm like wtf.... Glitch?

Wow, nice. Lotta good ones here. I think I'm gunna have to agree with the "improve melee mechanics and damage." 1) for the clunkiness 2) for the damage. I'd love to see a huge mulitplier to damage taken when prone or "from behind" attacks. ie....keeping with the theme of realism: If I sneak up on someone who is lying prone in the grass and I have a fire extinguisher or a machete in my hand, they're not getting up. period. 1 and done. Ofcourse that's different if we're standing toe to toe, face to face. But when your behind a sniper or anyone for that matter that doesn't know you're there, if you get a free shot then that should be that.

Pick the server you select wisely.

Spawning should happen equally all over the map. Why limit it to just a select few places?
