So how much of a thrill do you cheaters get when playing DayZ?
ForceRecon (DayZ) replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Thats only a quarter of time i have spent on Skyrim on my 360. =D -
Also can our boots/shoes take the fall damage first? I really don't think my pants should be ruined when i land on my feet.

Well you would come out of it just fine if you did a recovery roll. Maybe a few scrapes and bumps and a chance of a twisted ankle or sprain. Ive done it enough to know my leg won't be hurting for more then a few minutes. In all honestly, maybe it could be worked where at certain height between x and y, you could do a recovery roll. This would be a little animation but you can't do it with a backpack or slav vest.

Torchia's "Guess That Gun!" Challenge
ForceRecon (DayZ) replied to Etherious's topic in General Discussion
Would be a perfect gun to add into a simulator and it would greatly help balance the game. The ammo could be those super hard to find batteries! -
How about a new mode. We have regular and hardcore but how about extreme mode. Where if u die on a extreme server you must wait 28 days before u can go on another extreme server. I feel like i would make more friends in this scenario (along with meeting more troll hackers sadly)

Question. Can I become a Vigilante hacker who only hacks to kill said hackers? I would use my knowledge of coding for JUSTICE!!! -

That was some funny ass shit keep it up! -
the .45 caliber for the FNX is already subsonic so all we need is some light 5.56 for the m4a1.

This trade thing should probably be pinned. If it was, it would get used more like the medical service.

Why does the cross bow do more damage than the m4?
ForceRecon (DayZ) replied to taco86's topic in General Discussion
We have gotten them down to where its the same muffled sound of someone clapping with gloves. But then again those are the nice ones for Spec Ops. -
throwing weapons? do you want them
ForceRecon (DayZ) replied to gannon46's topic in General Discussion
There is no such thing as centrifugal force. It would be the centripetal force of rotating the stone that creates the velocity. Centrifugal force was used to explain the pull effect when a vehicle was making a turn at a high speed until scientists realised that it was the inertia or the mass of the vehicle creating the pull factor at those speeds. Similar to how you should zig zag when being chased by a bear because its harder for them to turn with their greater mass. -

Exactly! I want to play this game Far Cry status and just chuck a rock to distract somebody and kill them when they go to investigate the noise. Or just chuck rocks at people for funzies. -
Great vid. Would'nt want to piss of you or your squad. Would love to join you guys on stuff like that lone wolfing is boring and dangerous.

Why does the cross bow do more damage than the m4?
ForceRecon (DayZ) replied to taco86's topic in General Discussion
If this game was a full realistic simulation, no one would play it. In reality, I can survive up to three days without water and 10 without food. In reality falling off a set of stairs would not severely injure my leg. And in Reality a bolt or arrow would do more damage than a bullet as bullets go through a person while bolts and arrows stick inside create bigger wounds and those wounds are more susceptible to disease. The game needs to be realistic to a point but if it were a simulator where you needed 8 hours of gameplay sleep and other things than no one would play it. It is a game not a zombie apocalypse training simulator for the real world. -
Seeing as how animals are soon to be added I believe this would be a great addition.

M9A1 Combat Knife: The new fireaxe
ForceRecon (DayZ) replied to Cap'n (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Machete also is decent since the patch. Three headshots and they go down versus the eight from before. -

ForceRecon (DayZ) replied to taco86's topic in General Discussion
I didn't read through all the pages but the crossbow was not an instant kill in the stomach for me. I was healthy and someone ran up and fired it at me. Destroyed my tactical shirt and everything in it (Which doesn't make much sense) but I survived with very very low health and blood (Wasn't even bleeding after shot). As soon as the guy saw that I didn't die he ran off. Couldn't find him sadly. But the fact of the matter is the crossbow should be an instant kill from the waist up for balance because that thing has a ridiculously long reload time and has only one bolt chambered whereas the M4 can have 60 bullets and a fast as hell fire rate. -
I believe they added this due to the fact that upon logging into a server, you are automatically standing with nothing equipped regardless if you were prone and had something in your hand. That slot is bugged however because you can equip some other item and it will stay in that misc. slot. However, if you put the item you pulled out away and try pulling out another item the item in that misc. slot drops to the floor. As for the weapon choice your best bet is the sks. Ammo more common, attachments are more common places, and it is still a semi-auto rifle. Plus generally you are regarded as High Value when you have an M4 and you become more of a target for bandits.

My friendly to bandit ratio is about 1:1. I have met plenty of friendly players and have grouped up adding them to my steam friends list. I have also encountered plenty who were bent on killing me. I have only ever killed one and that was because i was looting as a bambi and he shot me with a mosin. He didn't do so well against my pitchfork. The real thing you need to worry about is the trust factor. I found a newbie in Berezino and gave him a crossbow because I didn't like the super long reload animation for it. I told him I would help him gear up and as soon as I turn my head I took a crossbow bolt to the cranium. However, I have met people on the road as we ran past each other and didn't say anything to not have any problems whatsoever. I also have met completely armed people who could have killed me for my stuff but didn't. My opinion is it's a game of luck. And if someone has a gun pointed at you your best bet is to just put your hands up tell him you are not a bandit and pray he/she isn't (Yes met a female player who I thought I could trust BIG MISTAKE). Either than that, make sure you have the advantage by having the drop on him/her so you don't get screwed over.
