q.S Sachiel

took a shotgun blast to the chest today in novo police station. Fractured both my arms but didn't lose a drop of blood. great success! ended up dying to a guy who lagged about in circles until i'd used up my last blaze shot, then stupidly i decided to try to draw my axe while he had about half a second ahead of me on his draw. He brained me without my even seeing him swing from a good 3m away...

I had to beg a man to kill me. He ran away wth my axe because he thought i was baiting him or something, then once i had him convinced there was noone up in the hills waiting to kill his fresh-spawnedness he still kept telling me he felt bad and wasn't sure if i really neededto die. I'm quite sure now that he was trolling me, stretching out my pain as i writhed and spat at him to end my sorry life. I got sweet victory in the end!

NWAF middle barracks - lay prone down near a tree and saw 4 players go in and out of the barracks. 2 remained. They were chatty and loud and didn't seem to have a care in the world for caution, opening and closing doors. I had my SKS trained on their exit, like a coiled snake ready to strike, i lay motionless in my camo-clothing at the base of the conifer. Only two now in the barracks, the other two having run down South into the forested area parallel to the 'strip, the last two came out. The first one pausing at the doorway - the second one blocked from exit. CRACK CRACK CRACK the man dropped to the floor. It seems the third hadn't gone too far, as he appeared from the far side of the barrack, coming into view just behind where I had dropped his friend. CRACK CRACK a second down, but during this assault the one still inside the barrack had decided to break out, my first shot nearly missing him, but connecting with his accomplice. He loosed a few rounds in my direction but he seemed confused so I rolled my die - lay still. Like a gazelle thrashing in the muddy river banks when confronted by a crocodile, he had no idea and was simply flailing or chest-beating. Your prey has panicked. Wait. 5 rounds down, the 'second' began making tracks to me. I saw his weapon out and armed with a gas-mask, he actually ran near the conifer bunch immediately to my right and lay down. I stood ran and emptied my remaining 5 rounds into his body. Jesus Christ! What had I stumbled upon? They barely fired a shot and i'm 10 rounds down and not a scratch on me. Now on to the fourth. I circled round south, skirting the edge of the wooded area, just inside, taking my time not to over-expose myself, and lurching around trees as much as possible as impromptu cover. I heard him first. The tinny TOC TOC TOC of an M4. He was close, maybe 70meters out, but I couldn't see him, TOC TOC TOC TOC TOC TOC. The rounds fizzed overhead to no effect. Cursing him and thanking the DayZ gods in one breath, i withdrew a few meters into the forest. Then I saw him. Dressed in a red check shirt and armed with an M4, he dashed out of cover, loosing several more rounds. TOC TOC TOC *GNCHHghhuughh* I took a single M4 hit and my screen blurred and went a lot more grey than i was comfortable with. He was so close, still loosing rounds but failed to hit me. What was going ON. Without a thought, I lined him up, and my SKS screamed bloody murder into his chest. I ended up taking his M4 and stashing it in the Southern prison block, swapping it out for an AK before persistence. I had a look through the ACOG sight before dumping it though, and found what may have been the players' problem: whenever i brought the acog to sight, I would look down at the rail and not through the optic piece. The view was completely obscured, and the man hopefully had this issue (and not for lack of accuracy) but in his rush to shoot at me, he failed to remove the optic. Even after un/equipping and dropping the rifle+optic, stripping the parts clean and reassembling i still could not get it to work. AK it was. Returning to my three extra prizes, I saw a vermin scum and his friend picking through my trophies. Indignant and chuckling to myself at my good luck, my Kalashnikov punished them for their poor timing. Feeling hungry after such an exertion, i popped a can of beans and decided to wait in the connifers further towards the fenceline, wondering what further luck i may have that day. The server restarted and i started fresh in Gorka :3 This game is glorious when it works 'right'.

first bloodsucker in Agroprom Research basement. DO NOT WANT.

so... you're talking about the guy who drops the purples right?.. Yeah let's kill that sob.

yeah might not have been nades at all. Saw frequent explosions out by the tall red smokestacks opposite police station. They periodically went off (just like some petrol stations do sometimes) and no evidence of players or grenades being thrown in berry. probably this nuke hack/exploit i've seen.

trtk is probably pseudonym for a borderline troll already on the forum. Posts misleading/fallacious stuff under the guise of 'opinion' (waits for response) Posts dictionary/thesaurus info as supporting evidence for his belief, without further elaboration then distances themselves from original post, saying that it's not even their understanding of the definition diminuitises opposing points of view with 5 word texts, still not adding to conversation of defending/developing original fallacies posted. Feigns nonchalance. creates implication that other people are doing the wrong thing through picture posts. 100% trollolololol. Enjoy. This thread will burn harder than the Bismarck and the September rant topic combined. Just you watch :)

yeah little drunk. I'm about to ride out on my bleached white horse too. ;)

Cool First rule of English language skills is that you don't provide a definition of a word with the same word. You also produced a synonym in 1.1. Second, you imply the act was dishonest. I then drew attention to others' comments that you (general), in essence, did not purchase the full game (and they profess that since nothing has progressed now since development started when very little/nothing was in the game, then you in a sense bought nothing and handed over your cash for nothing). I'll assume that you purchased the right to use the alpha, and i'll assume that your contract law falls similar to mine. I'll also assume you have the capacity to create and execute you own decisions. You provided consideration for the product by 'showing' your money. They provided consideration by 'showing their product'. You exchanged currency for a product that was labelled as such. if i sell you snake oil as snake oil, that's not a scam. If i sell you snake oil as paint for your house, then that is a dishonest act/scam. The government couldn't care what price you paid, or what you're buying for the most part, as long as the description fits the product to varying degrees. Software purchases are even more debatable as the product can change about it's lifetime, (all this ignoring the fact that you don't actually even 'own' the software). if i wanted to (and you agreed) i could sell you a single letter of code for whatever price you were willing to part with. I would quote the famous proverb of "the Emperors new clothes" but this analogy may be too difficult for you to see the nuances of application to this thread. But I get the feeling that with your blanket response and poor attempt at rebuttal/conversation - ripping words from a dictionary (or thesaurus as the case may be) - that I'm just exercising my fingers for my own benefit. selling tear catchers 10$ a pop! step right up step right up.

It's not really a scam until you've lost something. Since the haters say that nothing has changed since 0.001 then you never really had anything to start with did you? Doors within doors, here we go!

They usually spawn on the metal racks in apartment blocks in larger towns (the thin tall buildings, not the large multi-dwelling 'ghetto' buildings), in shed-rows (double red doors open outwards, have racking inside) and in pub/restaurants (the ones with attached rooms and tables+chairs+sinks - usually found on ground by the fireplace). Good luck. Train that sniper's eye and you will be rewarded!

i don't know about you, but it made an ass out of me. He feasted on my 5 rounds and half eaten tins of beans. In the mean time i hoovered the meat crumbs off my plate, cringing at his abuse of my cessile state, too lazy to respawn. Each sip of my pale ale grew more and more bitter as I felt the sting which I so frequently dealt to others. Little shit :( TBH i don't have as much interaction with confirmed kids as in the mod. Most people i confront refuse to communicate. All tall dark and mysterious types, whichever end of the barrel they sit on. In the mod they'd roam in screaming shrieking packs and would flock off at the first sign of danger to stalk you all the while until you lay down to do something or take a smoke. GERDERNMD KIDS! One day you'll stop to pee and all your shit will be mine!

Hey brotato. welcome to the forums. Have a quick look around at the New Player Forum and the stickies in the sections you post in first just to see if there's any easily accessable info first, before posting :) Also try to use the search function as much as possible. Here's the official Can I run DayZ Retail post, stickied in New PLayer Forums http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154395-can-i-run-dayz-retail-post-here/ i'm not too up to scratch with tech, but that stuff looks pretty OK for minimum to say the least. RAM info is useful usually too, though I've heard DayZ likes to chew through your CPU cycles more than GPU, RAM is always good. The 512 on ur GPU does suggest it's getting dated though, may be an issue down the line? (again i fell out of the loop after '10 for the most part). Check out the link, compare your specs. Also keep in mind that people can run DayZ on a potato just as well as on the top shelf PCs, but this may change come further developments. :) enjoy.

still remember hiding up in the high rocks in Novo, almost at the top but just enough elevation for someone to get up behind me. I was prone in a rock-ditch and didn't think i could be easily seen from below. I shimmied out and shot a zombie dead with the LRS and Mosin then went back into my ditch and ate my dinner whilst listening to the soothing wind of DayZ. Before I was finished my tall-ie beer, some kid had popped up on hte rocks above me "are you fucking stupid or something?" he said in a juvenile voice CRACK *you are dead* "Yeah you're fucking stupid aren't you, hey? Fucking stupid aren't you" he parroted. Good kid. He must have been looking for me for 30minutes after my innocuous shot, but mad props for sniper hunting. omnomnom. Curse you tortillas!

might make you slightly more uncomfortable to digest, too.

thoroughhly enjoyed the gurgle. cough splutter gurgle.

if you were driven enough you could cut out some bean-tin and scratch in your details, but more trouble than it's worth. One more thing to catch and throw light or go cling cling cling when you're bending. just put a note in your boot "hey asshole, thanks for the bullet Hope you like the smell! regards, dead joe P.S i pissed in the beans"

yuss! now you can save all that angst for the game! :) no beans for you though, all mine. Ghollum... Ghollum.

Wearing a tag around your neck that says O- is like asking to be bled dry. Have fun with that :) Having a tag around your neck that says 'allergic to penicillin' means that upon being handcuffed, you will be stuffed with moldy bread (not in game). Have fun with that ;) But yea, the game does a prett good job of identifying you at the moment anyway with check pulse (unless you release/quit before viewed).

everyone tastes different. I like to check with my tongue. Very sensitive muscle that ;) " If you feel someones puls in real life you allready made a Connection. It tells you if the Person is dead or "good to go". You might even find yourself compelled to know more about this Person and their pulse. " You insinuate sir, that a dead person is not 'good to go'?... I reject this claim. Frequent crouching and standing to follow.

when trolls troll the mods: please hold your applause (humming and chest beating accepted) LEL where did those extra 2 pages come from :O

Most of those issues related to persistance, and I believe it was released in August/July 2014, that's 6 months from your query. Global item storage was intruduced alongside persistance (both need to be updated and fixed etc still but...). I think i purchased around Dec13 / Feb14 and while it does seem like not that much has really changed (i still stick to SKS and all that jazz) i can identify that changes have happened and are available albeit in broken states should i wish to hunt them out. Your prediction of zombies walking through walls, OK i'll pay that, but we can admit that they now rarely run 'through walls'? Fences and doors are another issue. At least they are a threat inside, and don't go into slo-mo walking indoors, though right? AND when they come inside, we can actually stand a chance to kill them, right? Rocketgate, i don't know enough about really, but what does it matter if ultimately nothing has changed? I think BI's smart enough to stick to the 'core' of DayZ, and allow for mod-support to let people tailor it to their will upon completion. Having a 'The Hunt' with zombies would just be a failure, and piss too many people off (more than now). Although your points mostly revolved around similar/related issues, it seems as though all your requests have been delivered at once (once again, in an unfinished state). This delivery took ~6months plus whatever they had before you asked the question. Doesn't seem too bad to me, given the other stuff we've got too and the impact some of these changes have/will have (hopefully).

oh really? I thought you could at least restrain people with DT, not that i'd tried but the tooltip... oh the tooltips! Duct-tape people to poles/walls/floors/cars, or just their hands and legs together :'( why oh why Really? you went there?... This is really clutching at straws now. I pray this is some form of sarcasm, dripping with mirth. please observe comment #128 sir. You will find that fine user's advice useful. Edit:wrote some text, figured i'd google the thing you see whenever you load DayZ (if that is, you do actually play the game). text removed.

even writing basic programs can sometimes be an effort in problem-solving. I'm no paid professional, but writing even relatively simple python programs can be rather roundabout depending on the complexity of your functions and rules.
