I use to be like this but after a while you learn how to gear up again pretty quickly. Sure it might be hard to give up all that pristine gear and some of the rare items but in the end all you really need is a half decent gun and you can easily get the rest.

This would be my starter list. The current jump/fall mechanics in the game are horrible. What do you mean I can't jump to my left/right while strafing?

Perhaps you should re-read your post because it' not hard to see the poorly disguised insult in it... So I can understand why he would have responded as he did, plus the whole "hardcore" vs "regular" has gotten out of control lately...

If they wanted to work upon more realistic movement, they should start with the horrible jumping and falling system we currently have...

Found my 30 rnd one on a police car. So be sure to check them as well as the police stations.

There will always be a source of bugs which result in player deaths, that is true in every online game. And I not looking for a solution because I honestly don't see the problem but thanks for playing...

What is counter productive is one member of a group having to spend 20 minutes running cross counter to rejoin their friends because they died to a bugged zombie or a glitched ladder and then respawning across the map. Now I am not saying they should be able to respawn exactly where they died but perhaps give players the option to select a location closer to their death point and then thrown in a respawn timer for doing so. This way people can't rush back into a fight they lost but they don't have to waste a game session trying to rejoin friends either.

You should be at a disadvantage trying to take those stairs. Not all fights are going to involve equal footing, sometimes you will have the better position and others they will. You have to either accept it or avoid buildings with these kind of situations.

Because no one enjoys being treat like a trash because someone wants to "role play" being an ass. It's one thing if someone wants to rob you or ransom you back to your friends and another thing all together when they just drag your ass off into some random far off section of the map, strip you down, torture and then if your lucky they kill you. Sorry but I am not going to waste my time so they can enjoy their sadist game play. The reason no one surrenders anymore is due to bull shit like this...

That's what got my attention! If so I sure can see myself being more KOS than I currently am.

I switched to an AKM because it is just much easier to support. If you can hit up heli crash sites often enough, then you probably can keep the M4 stocked up.

It would be a nice feature, provided they can get the bugs they already have with collision detection fixed and adding this doesn't create a whole new set of them. It does make sense that trying to more around confined spaces with a long rifle should be more difficult then sweep the same area with a compact pistol or sawed off shotgun.

LOL! Have some beans :)

Just switch over to the AKM. It is much easier to deal with and you can find all the stuff you need pretty easily at any AF/military base (hell you can even find AKMs in the police station). I dropped mine a few days ago and I have not notice any real difference between them.

You had insane luck finding crash sites, that or you were upon a server with no one else. I have raided a couple of military outpost and AFs since the patch and I have not seen a single m4, m4 mag, m4 ammo or m4 accessory outside of crash sites. AKMs, mags and accessories are easy to find but then someone could just as quickly take it away with a single mosin shot. Keep in mind that right now we are experiencing server resets almost every 2 hours and most servers are running well below population, so it is much easier to find stuff because it spawns so quickly and there isn't much competition for it (even upon full servers really). Hopefully once servers are not resetting constantly and we get a large population count then things will balance out.

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.

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!
