In the world of 1s and 0s, nothing is truly random. Even random number generators. That said, seems random enough to me.

Pretty good at melee huh? says the guy who managed to kill himself with a baton. Also, if you're letting zombies hit you in melee combat then you're probably not as good as you think you are. Yea. I bet you're a real pro. So, you're saying the whole point of your thread was to lament about how your shirts get ruined? What is it that you want people to post? How they agree or disagree with how easily your shirt gets ruined? There's no debate there. Nobody is tracking data on how many shirts you've ruined or any crap like that that doesn't matter to anyone but yourself. The interesting offshoot of your post is a debate on various melee weapons. Threads go off topic all the time. It happens to everyone's threads from time to time. deal. Now, lets address this notion you have of me being a troll who talks out of his ass. Let me begin by pointing out that you don't understand what I was saying at all. Yes, I said you are probably bad at melee combat if you use a stun baton to defend against zombies. It begins with the terribly bad decision to deplete a battery defending yourself against zombies. It's probably the most egregious use of resources ever. Zombies are so easy to kill. Even avoiding! You can easily lose a zombie, avoiding the fight entirely. I'm totally baffled that people have trouble with zombies. In well over 800 hours of playing the standalone, I've never had a problem with defeating zombies in melee combat. Ever! Throughout all of the patches. Even during the last couple where it got 'harder'. Just because my point of view and experience is different than yours, doesn't mean I'm trolling. I don't troll. I make declarations backed with critical thinking and self evident examples. Much unlike you. You post about how mad you are that your shirt gets ruined by zombies. Then you go on to say that you're not bad at melee combat. Well guess what, if your dumb shirt gets ruined THAT MUCH that you have to cry in a post about it, then you probably are bad at melee combat. Additionally, you just complained about how people are talking about stun batons and not the real point of your thread (ruined shirts). Look at your opening post. The only place you mention ruined shirts is in the topic title. The entirety of your opening post revolves completely around stun batons. Perhaps the problem, ultimately, is because you're playing the alpha on a potato. Are you playing on a PC that sucks? I'm not. Maybe that could be a problem. Maybe you need more experience in melee combat. I've spent a huge portion of my in-game time KOSing people with melee weapons. Now I'm good at it. I bet I could beat you in a Dayz melee fight.

interesting. The real question is: would your stories be just as interesting if you told them properly in your native language? (which is obviously English)

You don't need a tent. Persistence isn't working properly yet. Tents only spawn heartache and let downs right now.

Oh. I'm all for the baton. I'm a baton man. I'd dual wield batons if I could. I'd like to find more rare 'engraved' batons, plzktks. You're preaching to the choir, holmes. I totally prefer the baton over axe. If zombies were relevant, I'd be willing to entertain something more than the baton, but they're not. Shocksticks 4life.

At the end of the day, if you're using a stun baton to kill zombies then you're probably bad at melee combat. The stun baton and other battery-using melee weapons are really only viable if you're using them with a charged battery. And if you're wasting a charged battery to kill zombies then you're probably bad at melee combat. One of my favorite pastimes is finding an axe and then running around electro gathering as many zombies as possible and then seeing how many I can kill before one of them hits me. It's too bad their melee hits don't hurt each other. You could probably take down 20 of them without even taking your weapon out. PVE is a nice distraction sometimes. Still trying to find a good way to gather up a horde of zombies into the Novo admin building. B)

should have bandaged you and force fed you some food/water. then waited.

Funny, I had a guy attack me with a cattle prod. Didn't work too well. Then I hit him with a stun baton with a fresh battery in the upper body. Seized up like a board and went unconscious. The swing speed is really fast and only takes one hit. Seemed easy enough for me. Maybe you've had bad luck?Oh. I checked the battery of the cattle prod my aggressor was using. Was drained entirely. That's why I won and he lost.

Meh. Zeds are completely trivial. Stun baton is the best weapon versus players, hands down. Fastest global cooldown (swing speed) and one hit totally incapacitates a person.

Grats on poppin' your murder cherry, dood!!!

I'm not going to say you're totally wrong here, but there are some incorrect assumptions. There is no -type kids that are responsible for any type of mentality on the servers. This same type of behavior exists in every mmo game. I posit that it's the time necessary to gear up which births the satisfaction of taking it all away from someone. This doesn't happen in the games you mention by any comparison. Those games are instant gear and thus, hollow. I go further into this perspective in the thread http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/208624-dayz-is-a-game-about-theft. I don't think waiting for the problem to go away after a few weeks is a realistic option.

If your content is interesting enough, people will follow it. You will gain fans. Advertising yourself in this manner isn't helping you at all. Post your vids and such in the proper areas.

It is no secret. MMO-FPS hybrids are notorious outlets for sociopathic behavior by otherwise law abiding citizens.

Try writing to your local congressperson in regards to these atrocities. More blood on my dayz, please.

If your most favorite thing isn't the measures taken against cheating then I want to fight you.

So Yea. I was looting the camo building when I looked out the window towards the tents up there. I dunno if other dude was your friend or wtf going on but he was a shootin' at something and I didn't see no zeds around so I assume it was at me. OMG side rant- what's up with the whole kill everybody at all times mode? So I crouch for cover and waited like at least 5 minutes before heading out. I didn't see anyone at first but then military beret guy started running in the distance, at what, I have no ideas. Dude musta been new or something cuz I heard in direct chat some guy telling some other guy that snipers hang out on top of buildings all the time and to lay low. THEN IT HAPPENED out of nowhere. Not sure where the shots came from but suddenly my legs got broked. I tried to fire some warning shots only to scare away any possible passerbys so I would have time to bandage up. After that, I saw you up by the tents again with your akm. I tried saying what's up over direct chat but you either didn't hear me or didn't care. More shots. WTF. Nice greeting you have there. I figured that there was no way I was gonna let this happen again and that your douchebaggery would not go unpunished. I saw you going from tent to tent so I knew I had to take my chance. Good thing you got loot lust and didn't notice me sneaking up on the old car on the road there. BAM BAM BAM BAM. 357 strikes again! WOOOO! I looted your ventilated body. Damn, your selection of attachments on your rifle are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad. noob. Then I only saw briefly who started shooting at me before I died. Pretty sure it was the military beret friend of yours. Well, at least I got you good. You and your KOS friend can suck it. Oh, btw ur suppossed to bring the burgers to moms for kate's birthday party on wednesday.

Worst misclick I ever saw was from my brother's roommate. He got cuffed and was nervous and ended up hitting caps lock one too many times thus allowing the captors to hear everything on ventrilo, which included our plans to rescue him. Needless to say, we don't try to save him anymore.

I bandit KOS with your standard fare of melee weapons. Well, at least until they introduce the sock with a roll of quarters in it. Then I'm using that for sure.

Ideally, I'd carry an assault rifle for close quarters combat. A longhorn for appropriate mid-distance sniping and an amphibia to shoot at zombies with.

No. There is no reason to help streamers/tubers. There is no practical benefit from people who stream/youtube, etc. If you want more subscribers or fans, then create more interesting material. Promote it yourself by creating content that is worth watching. I posit that any video that requires the community to help fabricate will be terrible by nature. If you need help being creative then it will be anything but that. The best DayZ videos aren't a product of wanting to fabricate an event for the sake of making a video. The most interesting videos are of events that take place that happen to be recorded.

So, the OP is trying to promote bestiality? Worst topic title ever.

BORING!!!!!!!! You can have your commie books. Right after they put in nudie mags, car mags, newspapers, tabloids, and other interesting literature. You know, stuff people read on a regular basis. Raise some money, put real advertisements of actual products in things people would actually read, into the game.

I'd rather see a large number of zombies tied to a dynamic server event than any single 'boss' type npc. Besides all the other problems you have with boss style entities, the big issue is the loot they would have. If they would have no loot, then they would be a waste of developer resources as no one would bother with them. If they had worthwhile loot, then it becomes a must have. Totally out of flavor with the game.

We should be able to fish with hand grenades, amirite?

The REAL moral of the story is: Stop and kill the zombie. Or just maybe the really real moral of the story is: Buy a microphone so you can talk to someone when you have to.
