tootights (DayZ)

Oh, I get it. Thanks :)

I don't see a spot for stories, is there one?' Anyway, quick story of success: I was at the Verensik military base in one of the bunk houses, I ran into a guy that spawned directly in front of me. Startled, I unloaded my FNX45. He got lucky I didn't have my ak drawn, and that he lagged a little because I think only one round got him, even thoug;h I slung about 10 at him in a 2 second burst. Lucky him that he began to talk when he did, because I had my crosshairs on his forehead about to finish him. He pleaded for his life, and I patched him up up, then injected some morphine. Luckily after a few moments of talking to him, and apologizing, the server disconnected. I think he probably would have killed me if I stuck around, but leaving that situation was more troubling than staying. He seemed like a nice guy, maybe he wouldn't have killed me? Nah, that's just naive. Right? :)

Stop shooting them in the body, then. Go for head shots.

BRING ON THE FUCKING HOARDS, I'M READY!!!!

I don't think I made an analogy to the Mod. Don't you think the melee ability should be of a high priority, based on the fact that all players use it? In terms of importance, here's how I see things: 1. Brain power - user your brain, stay out of sight, run like hell, survive 2. Self Defense - Stand your ground and survive using hand to hand or nearby tools/objects 3. Gun fights

I know I can go on reddit, but that seems too diluted with junk.

Yeah it'd be funny if anyone tried running around with a machine gun. Dead in 5, 4, 3 ,2 ,1... I'm at the point where I'm trying to get rid of gear, not find more. and any gun will do in this game, unless you're assaulting a clan. Most encounters last a few moments :) Not many shots fired, IME, which is very realistic. It comes down to who rolled a lower initiative.

This is a tough one, because I like the hoppers, but we need to get the no clipping issue resolved for all zombies because they're all doing it. edit; I think we need many many many more zombies. We need an environment that encourages cooperation, and that won't happen until its safer to band together in groups for fear of being overrun by a hoard of zombies!

I really don't think its as much of a preference thing as you think. There's nothing else to do in the game other than collect guns and use them, or run around. Once there is more to do, people will do it. Plain and simple.

You can look at the DayZ map, and locate the spawn points. but, in short, they only spawn at barracks. The rectangular buildings with bunks, doors on the left.

Are you sure about that?

I've already done so, thanks.

Most companies have a person or small department committed to social media and customer service. I think that if they had one, it'd be well met.

You only spent 20 hours? Wow... I sure wish the devs would chime in. +1. Bugged walkie talkie for sure, which is annoying and disappointing.

"Screw up" is rather crude. How about "overlooked". And if the rifle is not in game what it is IRL then its an overlook and should be corrected. Otherwise, why make the metaphor if its innacurate?

yeah, mine is fully moded, too. I don't play the character much because the possibility of losing it! I wonder how many people still have them?

That's not bad at all! I think that it'd be good to hear from the devs in regard to what system they have to replace the 'placeholder' current melee system, but I really like where this conversation is going!

I think what he's trying to insinuate is he hacks?

I think there should be a lot more zombies, for sure. They should roam around in small or large groups and be something we can go after. Not much to do now other than gear up to get in a gun fight, wash rinse repeat.

Yay, I guess?

I never said that is what I wanted. My point was only that the melee combat should be more than it is now, and someone said that the current system is a placeholder. So, that's fine. I just hope that when it's improved that it doesn't completely suck. I really hope that interacting with environmental objects allows for weapon creation. Nothing's more low tech as a rock, would it be a great story if you hid the in bushes and threw a rock, knocking someone out. They wake up to....(????)

Died walking down the stairs in NEAF, empty server. I agree there should be a more detailed description of how you met death.

Yeah, I suppose if I see an AKM I'd take it.. which is sad because this M4 is a thing of beauty. I can't understand why so people hate on the m4. If its inaccurate for you, you're not using it right. So, please bbring it back.

so you think that my question doesn't factor that this is alpha? Would you rather I'd asked "In an [alpha] survival game..." ? Seems kinda silly, but lets go down this road. I'm interested.

I think the fundamental flaw with the "its not like IRL" argument is that EVERYTHING tons and tons of stuff about gaming is contrary to IRL. YOLO, for instance. But with this game, I like that I have the ability to dimension door into multiple other parallel worlds on this game (servers), but I think one thing we need to think about is how much like IRL we want melee to be like. It could very well be that, in this world, everyone fights like pansies. At least, that's the way it is now. :) I vote to change it, and since the devs are gods maybe we can sway them.
