Actually, this entire forum is , in a sense, a consultation......................................................you've now been enlightened

HUH? In REAL life you can NOT peak without the chance of being seen as vision follows the old "line of sight" mechanic. If YOU can see THEM than THEY can see YOU. Whether or not they are looking in your precise location is another matter entirely. Real life.....ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo k

I'll play Devils advocate here......I'm a Clan leader of a fairly decent sized Battlefield Clan, we have about 30 or so members. I play with a fair chunk of them. We have done research on punk buster bans for different hacks and found that there is zero correlation between a players stats and their using hacks. I mean to say, you would think it would be obvious if they were using hacks because their stats would be so high it would be blatantly obvious, however that just isn't the case at all. Players with remarkably awful statistics have been banned for using in game hacks. My point here is this......UNLESS I am physically in the same room watching another player playing the game, i can not GUARANTEE they are not using any kind of hack. I like to think none of the members of my clan use hacks, and that their character is beyond such a need, but I can't, because I cant see them playing their game from their perspective. You may be surprised to find who's using hacks and who isn't..........

I agree, I really did look forward to all of the whining posts after a round of Battleye bans.....seems like they may have "fixed" that too in the process....BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hey.....simmer down there cowboy, this may not be a suggestion, asides to the mention of " lol, put cars in already =p =] " but it IS certainly ON TOPIC An OFF topic post would be something that has ZERO to do with DayZ

Ya some weirdness for sure. I was in the Piano house and a zombie chased me inside. While he was swinging at me, someone was shooting at me, or so I thought. I ran upstairs and zombie followed. I was backed into a corner and whenever the zombie missed I heard a bullet ricochet, even left holes in the wall beside me. When it HIT me, bones would break.....that was one hardcore freakin zombie, man, needless to say, I never did survive that encounter!!

It takes a BIG man to admit that.....bRAvo , man, BraVO!

As cool as it might be, I really don't think you 'd have much luck keeping a companion dog alive longer than yourself, I mean how long do you spend having to "train" it? 3 minutes? Do you even know how hard it is to train a dog NOT to bark? They would have a line of zombies a mile long chasing it let alone the fact it would attract every KoS'er within earshot to your location. I live in a semi-rural area and I can hear dogs barking from a LONG way off This isn't MMORP Dancing with Wolves, its a multiplayer survival game...your dog is dead meat, and you're next!

Thats kind of like implying that there should be a reward for working an honest days work and NOT robbing banks.......................................I would suggest your own personal integrity is the reward, no?

Would take a pretty big generator, no? I mean, that's why we have coal/gas/nuclear fired power plants and hydro electric dams....you want to turn a couple lights on, sure, a generator will do just fine....you want to fire up a city? That's an awfully BIG gas can.................

I think it would be pretty tough to tame a feral dog, meat or not. We should, however, come across feral dogs who will fight you to the death over the carcass your skinning!

Hell yeah!! I could recharge my GPS and cordless vibrator!!

You could try playing an AMWAY Salesman looking for recruits or get yourself a backpack full of books and pretend you're a Jehovah's Witness

This sounds like the Led Zepplin Prophesies...................

Whoahhh......I missed that, sorry, could you please not rephrase the question one more time?

I used to LOVE the "Gong Show" excuse me for a moment while I cast my vote.............................................GONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG GONNNG GONNNG GONNNNNNNNNG

Really Max? Don't be ridiculous....I would venture to bet they are all hiding in the tree line watching your every move, waiting for the perfect opportunity to pounce! Seriously though, you'll run into someone soon enough if you keep playing on high pop servers, and when you do, they will either shoot you on sight, or offer you some food and water.... One bit of advice for ya though, if they are offering you a whole zucchini, run for your life and do NOT look back...better to die on yer feet than to....uhh...live on yer knees... believe me when I say, I don't make this stuff up...........................

So a couple minutes ago, having ran from Novo to the gas station on the highway west of Elektro, gearing up along the way, I found a new way to kill myself. It's surprisingly comforting to know that Darwins laws of natural selection still stand strong and true in this post apocalyptic wasteland. I'm also happy to announce I'm up for this years Darwin Award....thank you thank you.....applause are unnecessary, however donations can be made in my name to "Cindys Home for Abandoned children, Bottle Depot, and SaniFlush Stations Ltd" I had just swapped out my splitting ax for a pristine firemans ax and was making my way west to the military airfield, chopping my way past the walkers, having the time of my life. I came to the gas station and although I knew I didnt need anything that may spawn there, I decided to have a peek anyway. Nope, nothing, just as I had figured......THEN I thought to myself....hey...I wonder what sound it makes when I chop this gas pump with my new axe?........sure enough it make a sound like I hit something metal with an axe....even left a little ding in the surface, cool, thats what I'm talkin about, good work gentlemen...now, seeing as I had just solved my self imposed mystery of the day, what possessed me to strike it again is what Darwin Awards are all about................to my surprise, this time it didn't sound like I hit something metal with an axe, it sounded more like I set off C4 stuck to the side of a gas pump.......a huge explosion, my screen went black and I was dead......huh.......didn't see THAT one coming...BRAVO!!! By the way, if you were on TRanscende Server by Electro and you heard a huge explosion...that was me winning my award. I know Blunce and his crew were on at the time. Anyways, I'm delighted to let you know that YES indeed hitting gas pumps with metal objects does in fact make the proper sound.

This is something only you can answer, if you shoot on site, you will NEVER meet anyone

I agree, finding them gainful employment should be the priority.......they just mope around all day waiting for handouts..... damn infected zombie bums............We SHOULD get them started on banging out license plates for all the vehicles coming down the pipe

Cover your head with a burlap sack, sit on the floor, and pretend you're a bag of dirty laundry.......................

Almost EVERY person I've come across has been friendly, I guess it's all in the approach. If you come across all sketchy and paranoid you might be attracting the same energy back. I come across totally chill and as though I don't care if I die or not, seems to be working for me. B)

That's it....I'm tossing all of my Tactical Bacon to show my solidarity with the Uniboars!

Currently there is no in game mechanic that's affected by this condition. However, in the future, I would suggest laying a towel down on your chair, as a precaution, prior to playing DayZ............

Then why do I have zero issues running Dayz if my fx8350 processor is to blame for poor performance?
