I'm not sure if it's just head sway, but it may not work in 3pp?

zombies can transcend time. Alpha here means 'start' not 'pinnacle of success' just btw ;)

I believe Bohemia bought up Dean's idea which started as a 3p mod on their software Arma3. AFAIK it's a wholly owned property of BI.

Oh more young'ns :) I see you in my mind's eye, frolicking down the street, picking up zucchinis and thinking you're the luckiest man in the world. Then someone comes and breaks your legs with a steel pipe and you're forced to roll and crawl to the nearest multistorey appartment and throw yourself from it. Hope you enjoy DayZ, and take every encounter with a human as an extremely risky and potentially life threatening experience. Enjoy :) Ah yes, and as per above, check out the key bindings in the options menu, everything you will ever need is in there.

You can expect at least 1 more wipe - the day before DayZ goes gold. Could you imagine the sweet sweet tears on this server, day1, of people complaining that all they can find is a strand of hair, while everyone else has rawcket lawnchus?

Would have been more helpful if you got a shot of the player list, server information, time date etc... Otherwise this is more a show and tell ;) Good thing he didn't see you though huh. And what's with your camera/editing? Really strange sway and zoom going on there... Kichi should be here shortly to tell you where to put the information if you have it, or just look at the post below this.

Yeah, fill it with something like wool or nylon twine and make sure you drill small holes in the front / sides. If it's a pressure vessel it will probably just amplify the sound, and although it's probably not going to be strong enough to restrict gas flow, the explosion of the bottle may be dangerous as i think he found out ;). For a .22 you probably only need a little kid's juice bottle or something. OK yes you're correct on a more semantic level. But i'd say that a hydraulic shock absorber works in a similar fashion to a pneumatic hammer, but of course there are differences. The take home message is that the two both change the direction of flow and rate of escape / expansion of the gasses released due to propellant combustion, which is one of the main sources of sound released due to weapon operation. The two items are not co-compatable. Watch the suppressor video, it pretty much rehashes everything we've said together, and the revolver note at the start is directly applicable to why the two will not work in tandem.

Mossberg Ionising Shotgun i do believe. Guaranteed to kill and cook your chook on the spot or your money back.

i never said it was blue, please don't put words in my mouth. brb gonna meme the shit out of this post tho... Edit: Hey guise, I put the photo up a while ago of this cute dress i bought for myself. I really like the colour - white and green - but my room mate thinks it's gold and pink!!! I KNOW RIGHT? Am I going crazy? I'm sure it's green and white!?!?!

A suppressor acts in a similar way to a compensator, as BigMike said. The two do basically the same thing, only a suppressor will capture a greater amount of the gas/prevent a violent escape meaning it should actually lend to greater control than the compensator. This does however mean that your damage should decrease due to the force being restrained, but I'm not sure if DayZ applies this at the moment. I know Arma3 does for sure. Just sayan. A shotgun choke modifies the spread/pattern of the shot, it doesn't have a substantial effect on power or gas release. It's more a physical barrier than a pressure regulator. http://www.briley.com/understandingshotgunchokesabriefexplanationbybriley.aspx Choke: edit- site prevents linking, google choke: first hit. Suppressorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_brake Muzzle Break/Compensator breaks are more intended to alter / reduce the muzzle flare (flame out of barrel) once fired, but again: by dispersing the gas pressure escaping from the barrel, you are reducing the force that propels the round. To give you an example: Consider a steep hill with a river flowing down it. A large rain event occurs causing the river to swell, move rapidly, and entrain sediment into it as it travels towards the distributary. While moving, the sediment in suspension is moving about the same speed as the water: very fast. Now the river is slamming into the open body of water that receives river. The volume of the open water is massive compared to the confined volume of river water. Once that river hits the ocean/whatever all that fast moving sediment will fall out of suspension and get dumped almost immediately into the basin of the open body of water. All that energy is being dispersed rapidly in all directions, where before it was being concentrated in one direction, so the force must decrease in the direction it was traveling slowing the particles. (reduce energy = reduce heat + sound + light etc..) This is analogous to the gas escaping the barrel carrying a round or shot.

Given the sheer amount of mouthwatering froth in the first 2 pages of this post... Can we please agree that the PTRS should be introduced as the DM/SR :) I know that when i want to kill flies i use a sledgehammer, why should DayZ be any different. Also, this is an example of a '30s rifle that had a bipod... being a 30's weapon doesn't mean squat. They had Gatling cannons at/before the turn of the century (not milennium).

This has been discussed before (not saying UTMFSE) but: practicality: confirms you're finishing off / healing the correct player prior to committing to the act realism: everyone looks pretty identical for the most part in DayZ, being distinguishable only on kit + basic character qualities (mostly hidden by kit anyway). If leaning in to help someone as close as you are to check their pulse, you'd see their face and would be able to identify them as a unique individual.

The mod allowed it, and you could before a certain patch, many many many moons ago. I doubt there's any bipod mosins still rocking about but you never know, what with the odd sleeper and such... But yeah, doesn't have any rails to support the bipod. It's a flush stock, sorry brah. Also, i've shot a .308 and .223 from a sled many a times while sitting. There is still sway don't you worry... DayZ is sometimes rather generous tbh when given to sway, as much as i like the cs point and click, this is a simulator at heart.

To give in to the old trope of criticising your 1 forum post may be wrong but.. either there is interest or there isn't, and if there is, people either swarm to your area to trade (and attack traders) or you end up the group picking off the traders when they've got some good stuff... I call foul.

i had reservations originally about the suicide. I find it more tasteful that the arm is cocked to the point of do i / don't i and then fade to black.

yeah i remember the suicide 'teaser' release vid (for lack of better term) showed pistols also. If only you could lie down and pull it with your toe. Oh so morbid ;( There's always grenades or 2m falls if you lack a weapon. I'm still surprised at how easy it is to die, falling off the first floor of the barns.

you can drown now? Do you run out of energy and sink? I've only ever been able to float/swim :S

Just wait until youre in the middle of bumf nowhere with a broken leg, with a whole inventory full of rags and sticks but your character refuses to craft a splint... It suddenly becomes a little more useful then ;)

did it a month or so ago with a machete. Apparently the curved blades are easier to ram through your neck than the sharp ones, kind of like Cod:WaW ending with

The mentality is that anything new that is introduced carries the probability that it will conflict with current balances/fixes meaning that the time spent fixing now is redundant and not cost effective. as an aside, i'd wager 7.62/.556 would bounce off the occasional brainbucket. Saved plenty of people from the Kar98 in ww2.

Yeah, that's what i was alluding to :)

This was touched on by eugene and Boneboys about 6-9 months ago. People holding duped gear aren't in immediate danger, but people duping gear will be shot on sight. If you see people doing it, you can report them via the regular methods in sticky etc (alongside hacking) but you'll need proof and information regarding player, time, server etc... This shouldn't be a witchhunt, but if you want to name people do it professionally as there's a chance that the person isn't a duper (though most people should know that an item with 10e1231251242321 rounds in it is outside normal item graphic descriptions. TBH i haven't played much recently only just got back in, but i don't think i've ever seen a duper and have had difficulty defining hackers in the AUS servers I play in. To flog the old horse, this is Alpha, so if you do find methods to dupe please report them as i'm sure the devs will be quite eager to stamp it out. I'd wager they're not after a guy who may have picked up 1x longhorn that he accidently dropped and duped somehow accidentally, but if you're spreading them among groups and doing it constantly, becoming the 'big fish' authorities like to talk about you may draw the eye of sauron.

Shouldn't you still hear the gunshot after death if killed outside 'audible range'? Pretty sure you still hear the shot, just the bullet hits you first. I haven't died to longshots for some time now, but i know you can still hear people talking when you're dead, not sure about sound effects tho?.. I wouldn't mind a log accessable only after / during death. Immersion is OK when you're alive. When you're dead you're dead, what's the harm in checking your history. You could always choose not to check too... but this is going OT.

Berezino 5 months after alpha release. I've seen things man.... fucking things a man should never see...

you should drink 1-2L / hour for 40-50degC without high intensity activity. This game will have you starving in 30minutes flat sitting on your ass after eating 10 cans of high-carb diet beans and bacon. Many many things should be tweaked, though i haven't had the luxury of wearing a ghilli in any capacity yet.
