    Goodbye Balota barracks

    What's the big damn deal? The jails and the ATC Tower are still there, so are the hangers, in which I saw an SKS just today. At least this one isn't cold turkey like NEAF was. So the barracks and the tent city are gone. It's a frigging survival game for cripes sakes. Learn to SURVIVE.
  2. Use a stun baton or a cattle prod when fighting zeds. It knocks them down and the second hit will kill them. This way you are not standing there getting beat while you are trying to swing another type of melee weapon. The advantage of the stun baton is that it uses less battery than the cattle prod does. With a fully charged battery on a cattle prod you will get no more than two kills on zeds before you have to replace the battery. With a Stun Baton you can kill twice that number of zeds before you have to replace the battery. I carry two batteries on me at any given time, one on the stun baton and one in my pack. When I find a battery I lick it to test the charge. If it is full, I'll take it. Ok, that is all, good luck.
  3. Crap piles of spelling errors, meh, I was in a hurry.

    A new shirt please

    http://russianushankahat.com/sites/default/files/green1_0.jpg The Telnyashka, it is available in different colors, is a great undershirt and is very, very warm. I have three of them one of which is sleeveless. I would wear them when I was working on a dive boat. Currently it is only seen peaking out from under the TTsKO jacket. The one in this link is nicely modelled by a young lady wearing a pilotka.
  5. As Cheech and Chong would say, "donkey shorts" :lol:
  6. blah blah blah flame flame flame. Go play your game I'll go play mine. Get over your bad self. Once again not reading the entire post and inferring what you want.
  7. I am not sure. The mythology surrounding Hitler was already so distorted that this "tired old meme" won't make any difference to it. Except to those who are fans of der fuhrer

    I wouldn't blame you if you did and I can see why you would. Other than that I just can't help it because.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G64B9nn0iCo And YOU made me do that. Besides, I can wait til Thursday. I have to outprocess at work tomorrow and then still work until 8:30 PM. It is my final day of my one year temp job at the Hale Koa Hotel! Then I am on unemployment for the rest of the Obama presidency! Thanks Obama!!!!

    Experimental Update coming soon

    It just seems that most topics in experimental get locked if they are not specific to a certain build. This is why I posted here than there. However, if it were merged I am sure any sand in the area of the taint would quickly wash off.
  12. Uh oh, you fed a troll who was talking out his ass..... Here is how you should do it. Observer s'il vous plait The shit you don't know is that I am actually pretty good at melee, I am just sick and tired of getting my shirts one hit ruined. Which was the point of the post in the first place and seems to have been completely ignored by the vast majority of respondents. But, like you know, uh, er, why read the whole post? Just jump right on stun baton users as skilless because, like, you know, er, they are.. DUUURRRRHHHHH. You can see that reading comprehension is down with the squeakers I guess. I gave you beans for the rest of your post because I respect that, but the rest is inflammatory, trollish behavior and complete bullshit.
  13. I actually managed to electrocute myself with a baton last night, then I broke my own legs, then I zapped myself 2 more times with electricity and then I died. I know it was me since I was the only person on that server at midnight. SO, I can, scientifically, I might add, conclude that you can, indeed, kill a player with a baton. I had the baton in hand and squatted down to have a look at something on a shelf that is on the third deck of the Sevrograd firehouse tower, I was looking for the fireman's coat, it was Gorka pants. I hate firehouses. I used to get one hit kills with the fire axe all the time. Why now doesn't it work? I wonder what changed. Same computer, different build.

    Cars in Dayz Standalone

    And, just where do you think you are gonna hide a persistant item like a car while you are off line? It stays in the world after you have logged out you know. It sure as hell won't fit in a back pack...
  15. Please see your reply above for what my research has shown. No malice intended on my part but it would appear we have different results, very glad this isn't rocket surgery. Using a fire axe I have walked up right behing them and swung 5-6 times on a zed with no resuit, not even a peep of agro. From the same spot I pulled my stun baton and BAM, 1st hit down-second hit dead. I gotta go with what I know.
  16. While you are waiting for the second hit to drop from your axe your shirt will get ruined. Just saying, you can't get that ruined shirts is what this thread is about is not my problem. Stun Baton 1. Stun baton knocks the zed down first hit. 2 While the zed is down apply the second hit 3 Shirt is NOT ruined Splitting or fire axe 1 Swing several times and wait for hit, maybe hit, maybe not 2 Get hit by zed 3 Swing axe some more and get hit more by zed, maybe evn get a hurt leg or broken arm (which when that is fixed and you can no longer swing an axe with a broken arm will cause much wailing and gnashing of teeth) 4. Get shirt and vest and maybe even your back pack ruined in the process. 5 Grab bandage but never actually hit F to bandage, pass out and bleed out Yeah, sorry can't see axe being the end all and be all of melee weapons

    Primary Three Obects

    Well, good luck with a fire axe, seems worthless since nerfed. I need a Farmers Hoe, a splitting axe and matches. The hoe has never let me down killing zeds, the axe can open cans, chop kindling and wood so I can have a fire and the matches to make the fire.

    Cars in Dayz Standalone

    Where the hell you gonna go with a car anyway? Moscow?
  19. Whatever, point is that if you are stuck with a 2 hit melee weapon you can save your shirts by using the stun baton vice the hoe. Maybe you have some work around for the axe the rest of us don't know about but I tried the fire axe today, from behind, on a zed to no avail. Didn't work at all.

    Cattle Prod

    The cattle prod will work in two hits but it will eat your battery dead after two kills on zeds (4 hits), the stun baton is much better with the battery going dead after 4-5 zed kills (8-10 hits). I have found that I can hit a zed with my baton, knock it down, pull my hoe and hit it with that for the kill. That is much too slow though. I find the stun baton is faster with hits than the hoe or the splitting axe, another reason I like it is that it knocks them down first, I am not standing there getting my shirts ruined like I do with a regular melee weapon.. Has the fire axe been fixed BTW?

    Map Changes in 0.49.124971 and 124972

    Yeah, I just at Bolota last night, it was pretty much picked clean too. Making my way north, I never back track unless it's for a "crazy Ivan".
  22. I just really hate it more when they say they are sorry they killed me, not only are they just another douchebag but now that makes them a liar too. This, more than anything, makes me want to come back and hunt their slimely little ass down for the revenge kill.

    Fire doesn't warm you up.

    You sir, need a warm hat. TBH the Ushanka did shit all for me, I kept cooling off, may as well have been a freaking bandana. I find the beanie, the radar jeep cap (it's actually a jeep cap, they call it a radar cap because a character from the movie and TV Show MASH wore one all the time, his nickname was Radar O'Riley) and the zmijovka work best.

    Is a Down Jacket better than a Rain Coat?

    Down Jacket is good if you have to warm up quick. Also wear a warm hat, not a ball cap or a bandana or a hard hat, a warm hat (beanie, etc). If you need to keep the rain off go with the rain coat, green if you can find it. The military jackets are good for keeping the rain off too.
