Well seeing your now magically break them, it evens out. Over the last couple of days I have broken a leg twice and once while I was couched eating some peaches...

Provided you are non threatening, seem friendly and not acting in a suspect manner I would have no problems with you. We could sit and chat and if I have some extra supplies I would offer them up, just like I would for a guy. But if not, then I won't hesitate to shot you just like I would anyone else. Honestly, I don't really care what gender you are. It all comes down to if I think you will try and stab me in the back the second you can or not. Other than that, it helps if you can shot and understand some basic team play.

Pretty much sums up my experience thus far. I can only remember twice that I was engaged by a sniper and only once was it a fatal encounter. Don't get me wrong, I am always on the look out for them and I take great care to make sure to avoid known sniper hot spots and areas that would make a good sniper perch but up close fights have been almost all of my Dayz encounters and I have died far more often from a near point blank shot than anything over 500 meters.

Actually, I didn't have that hard a time finding an AKM, the modified hand guard, new scope and a 75 and 30 rnd mags. For me the real issue has been finding replacement ammo. I have mountains of 51mm but I am having a hell of a time finding 39mm. Thankfully I had a few boxes saved up before the patch, I assume everyone is just picking it up now because the AKM is the new hotness...

Or when they feel their play style is "better" or playing a certain way makes them "better"...

Yeah, I found a couple of them wandering the NWAF area.

Did they do a character wipe on the live servers with this patch?

I have never liked 1st person point of view, despite all the FPS I have played. None of them have done a really good job replicating our actually awareness of our surroundings. The do a rather piss poor job replicating two of our senses (and by piss poor I mean a much narrower field of view, poor sound depth) and have no chance of being able to simulate others. For example, while I may not be able to see a "zed" standing in the next room, I sure the hell could smell his rotting ass. Forgot about our sense of touch (being able to feel pressure changes, wind drafts from opened doors or vibrations from movement). What I will never understand the animosity some 1pp players have towards those who choice not to play by their play style in a game that allows for each group to play their own way. Just enjoy Dayz the way you want to play it and enjoy it. If you want to play "hardcore" great, there are servers just for you.

Honestly, what is so hard about hitting up and AF, military outpost or a police station and finding an AKM instead? You guys act like there is some huge difference between people running around with M4s and an AKM. On experimental I had almost no trouble finding AKM and now that they have basically the same attachments as the M4. So unless they seriously reduced the spawn rate of AKMs, it won't make a difference.

Unless something has changed about the AKM spawn points, its not having that effect from my experience. On Experimental I would still travel to AF and military outpost looking for weapons but instead of finding M4s, it was AKMs. Hell you can find them in police stations. From my time on Experimental it has done nothing to reduce the number of assault rifles running around. Now I agree it would be nice if they were more rare but right now you could just rename the M4 to AKM and you wouldn't even notice the difference.

I honestly do not understand your apparent joy over this. So now instead of raiding AFs and military bases for M4s you find AKMs instead, nothing really changed outside of the "model" they are running around with. Sure it was odd seeing everyone running around with a US assault rifle but they are still going to be running around with an assault rifle, just a Russian one.

I understand that but if they are moving to a 64 bit system then they shouldn't handy cap our systems with a 32 bit client. Hopefully it will come in the future. So what if M4s become harder to find, it's not like AKMs are exactly rare. People will just pick them up instead and never notice the difference.

Then they probably should roll out a 64 bit client because it's still running in 32 bit right now.

Guess I will play on non-experimental for a while, no point on playing on the experimental servers with all the new content removed :(

Clearly that point was too clever for our fellow Dayz players... Why because he would rather not just submit to bandits, who more than likely would have executed him anyways. Well maybe after they reload from all the misses at the insane distance of 2 feet!

Sure, right after they add in the requirement to sleep in game at least 6 hours each day. Then we can all bask the glory of realism in online gaming!

This update to fix rubber banding can not come fast enough. It has been a nightmare trying to play with it...

You have been lucky then, I have had it happen twice in the last week...

I was in that situation, the problem was the only other way out was being covered by two bandits. Who only didn't storm the building because I fooled them into thinking my SKS was loaded. As much as I hate to, I just ended up logging out because I couldn't get the hell out of the building without rubber banding. So hopefully this update will fix that issue.

Is that what is causing it? Really annoying indeed.

It has been my experience that global chat channels become nothing more than a cesspool unless they are heavily moderated.

From my experience, I am far (far, far, far) more likely to be shot or robbed blind if I submit instead of trying to fight/flee. So you are the rare player who does't just take it to a lethal level. Now when I am on the other end of the gun I try to give the other guy option to come out of the situation alive but in the end I am far more interested in my survival than theirs. So if they act suspicious or there are long pausing in voice communication, things tend to escalate.

I only rush when I have nothing really to lose and a lucky shot will net me a huge win (like having a blaze and taking down a fully geared opponent). Even if I die it is only a few minutes to start over.

It has nothing to do with "wannabe solider" and everyone to do with increasing your chance of survival. Military/hunting gear tends to be more functional and better suited for survival settings.

When your not leaving them with a broken leg and stealing their food and water right :)
