Guide to etiquette? How to be new right?
barnabus replied to CabbageNPeas's topic in New Player Discussion
Evasion is the best possible answer for you. -
I am at the prison, on the first floor in the caged stairwell. My legs are broken and I can't get out or go up. I am going to go do some stuff in RL today and will leave the character up all day. Please come kill me so I can respawn. 66.55.158.242:2302 It's a private shard and has a low population. Thanks in advance. edit: AND, what's worse, I have NOTHING with which I can suicide this character, I ruined the flare gun I had trying to get some ones attention. That didn't work.
-
Cool, good to go!
-
1 tried that yes, was hoping a server reset or two would move me, no luck so far and for the other, Private shard, can't go to a different server 2 yes, does nothing 3 see 2 4 Ok I'll try that too.
-
Like I said, I can't get out of where I am. Because I have to crawl I can't get off the stairs to get out the door going down. When I go up I can't start up the next set of stairs. Seriously, I would do this but I am really, really stuck. If I could get out I'd go make a splint and fix myself up anyway. Oh well, everyone is going think it's a trap, so, hopefully, since I am orange thirsty it won't be long. Should be dead anyway by the time I get home from errands.
-
Shit, I thought they'd fixed that. I wonder what would've happened if you'd have chucked a grenade in there first?

When you know you play too much Dayz :p

On the way home today I was scanning the horizon, searching for smoke from heli cashes -
Won't be able to pack that way with the upcoming .53 update. Sucks too, good idea and the way most of us pack anyway.

After reading the DayZ wiki's page on planned weapons
barnabus replied to 5mirkeh's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, I read someplace the total number of M1 Garand's shipped to the Russians during WWII was a total of one whole rifle. But yeah, the way some of these jonnies shoot, please add it. Then when I hear that distinctive "ping" I'll know someone is reloading.... Patton recommended that infantrymen should walk though the woods in a spaced line abreast firing as they went. He loved that rifle.. -
He brought up Afghanistan douchbag. Way to pay attention before opening your gob.

1.. Good for you, we will see how long that lasts. I wouldn't take any bets on it if I were you. 2. Has not one damn thing to do with this game one way or t'other. I have 50% from the VA for PTSD for my time in Iraq, doesn't mean a damn thing in this game brother.

I do not miss that little fucker and am dreading his return. He'll be back and more lethal than before I am quite sure.

Sorry I missed it, I was on my way there and needed to get water. I got water and was on my way back up the mountain when my wife woke up. That put the kibosh on it for me. How'd it go? -
Fire and smoke giving away your position?
barnabus replied to Old_Crow_Whiskey's topic in General Discussion
I keep that habit and add a new one, decon the water you put in canteens with the water purification tablets you get in med kits, this way, when the time comes, it'll already be a habit and save you some grief.. -
Other than looting what the hell else is there to do? I prefer to evade rather than KoS, if I see you first I will keep my eye on you, let you go your way and then I will go other way. If I run into you in a meeting engagement and you attempt to engage me in any manner, conversation or bullets, I will attempt to evade (some people are way offended by that and have come to even consider evasion a type of combat logging because they were "denied" a chance at interacting/killing me because God knows, there is no way any one could evade their leet tracking skillz). If you follow me, it will end with one of us dead, preferably you. I might loot you or not, depending on what I already have. I have no real interest whatever in meeting or interacting with other players at this point in the development of DayZ. This is a direct result of my experience with other players so far, I am sick of being lied to and manipulated.

I don't think he was talking about BI as he was more about the companies that are renting out the servers. Deep breath.
-
Wrong, you agree to certain conditions when you rent a server, failure to abide by those conditions results in loss of rental.

I like to drive the cattle into Berezino to lure off the zeds.

Should we bring anything? Chem lights, lanterns, food?? -
We may have jumped the gun a little here, a new animal AI is coming and if you have been in .53 you'll have gotten a serious taste of that. Notice that it is much harder to get near any animal and they run away from you when you are further away from them than before and they are much, much faster. I shot a pig and saw it run off, so I took a shot at a deer, same, same.. I guess I wounded the pig because about 100 meters away I found him dead in the road. I have not had any luck with fishing and have not gotten a rabbit at all, the one chicken and one of the goats I got was frozen in Msta..

Fire and smoke giving away your position?
barnabus replied to Old_Crow_Whiskey's topic in General Discussion
Just keep in mind that the smoke from a camp fire is going to be relatively clean and harder to spot than that of the typical helicopter crash. Camp fires aren't going to be as smoky simply because they aren't burning all the same toxic crap that would be on fire in a helicopter crash. I agree that the light of a fire or a chem light or even the gas lamp needs to be much more obvious. I lit a gas lamp in the turret of a police station and could only see it from 150 or so meters away if I zoomed in on it, that light should have been visible for several kilometers on a clear night and it was. It would be nice to sit back and observe a town at night and see lights on in the houses. That might make my character a little less crazy and a little more comfortable in Chererus -

Pretty sure I'll be there still since .53 is still kinda FUBAR, perfect time anyway, but I won't be talking much, wife is still asleep since it is only 7am my time. -
Does this include suicides? I know that I lost power the two days ago while in game, that meant that my internet went out too since I have no back up on it. When it came back on I was about 500 meters from where I was when the power went out. Lucky for me there wasn't a cliff or anything like that so my character was still alive. Interesting that my character kept running when I had lost connectivity. Could very well have run off some stairs or into a zed or another player during that time... That could explain some of the deaths in the ocean, but certainly not all. Too bad it isn't color coded with a key to tell us cause of death... You know, player, zed, self induced (either by suicide or misadventure), starvation, hyper/hypo thermia...

How do you set up your hotbar, and why?
barnabus replied to IReadTheAgreement's topic in General Discussion
How do you justify using any keys at all or even the mouse then? Do you use a steering wheel to drive the truck? Cheating.. LOL. too funny, now I think you're just trolling.. -
How do you set up your hotbar, and why?
barnabus replied to IReadTheAgreement's topic in General Discussion
So you don't do anything in real life to give yourself an edge? Really? I think of the hot bar as knowing exactly where something is and having easy access to it. Makes it more immersive for me that way.
