I always leave the door open, because I want anyone around to either think it has already been looted, or that there is someone inside the building, which there is. Closed doors are more inviting to people passing by.

I'm not autistic, so IDGAF much about the inventory at this point in time.

How does everyone here break up the DayZ monotony?
harteman replied to karlkurtz32's topic in General Discussion
My guys and I, we run around in the city streets, as I get on comms and tell everyone to come out with their hands up. Leads to insults and bullets flying every time. then we kill them all. -
But bro, shit posts are setups for awesome posts. Circle of life.

Prefer everyone not me and my crew wear mountain backpacks, or if none are available, taloon backpacks. It makes spotting you infinitely easier. Nothing says "look at me" like a red mountain backpack. Nothing says "I am carrying useful shit" quite like a mountain backpack either.

minding my own business then suddenly *hears bullet fly past head*
harteman replied to shikohadou's topic in General Discussion
Well, judging by your spelling, and your poor choice of spots to stop and have a drink, and the fact that apparently you were caught off-guard, combined with the fact you took the low road by combat logging.... I'd say you are a winner. -
List of things that bug me when playing DayZ
harteman replied to Evil Minion's topic in General Discussion
The server lag seems to happen when the server fills up, not from the ping. More people=more lag. -
Unpinned grenades dont explode when not thrown?
harteman replied to surf_polar's topic in General Discussion
In the United States Army, we practiced cooking off our grenades in basic training. We did this in simulation of assaulting bunker-style defenses. This was in 2000. -
I was shot in the head point-blank with an M4 3 times, and each only knocked me unconscious. After that the guy was amazed and let me go. His weapon was silenced, maybe that had something to do with it.

Private Shards with 0.49? Features? Price?

Snipers are the kings of infantry combat. Nothing instills fear in me like knowing a scoped Mosin could be around. You have the drop on everyone else is the game when it comes to range, and you can pull an mp5k out of your ass for close encounters. I see no problem in reducing the most OP aspects of the game, and skilled snipers are up there. At least the map seems designed to hinder them.

Good to see we have the moral police even after an apocalypse. I knew your kind would survive.

Don't immediately relog into the same server you were just in, there is a bug that will erase your character. If you want to join the same server, wait about 5 minutes.

You can kill them all the same, stop crying so much. Survival is supposed to be hard. Adding these things makes it HARDER. I'm down to make this game as difficult as possible to survive, on all fronts.

Starting to think I'm too nice of a player.
harteman replied to OptimumVision's topic in General Discussion
If I see you at an airfield and we aren't already friends, I am going to try to kill you, bottom line. Unless, like, you are SUPER entertaining, in which case I will have to bring you along. Good luck demonstrating your entertainment value with bullets flying at you though, but then again, I said SUPER. -
My squadmate was shot by a sporter the other day, point-blank, and all it did was alert him to the guy. He didn't even seem to take any damage, to ANYTHING. Not even his assault vest. So indeed, sporter is elite.

I know its been brought up, but I think horses and lassos would be a perfect addition to the game. Horses could be an excellent vehicle, you could even train them to come to your call. You could use the lasso to wrangle them, or to capture/subdue a player. It would be fun to have a horse as a vehicle, rare as hell, that you could train and thus improve, and it would double as a pet of sorts. Riding around trying to lasso a fresh spawn would also be fun as hell. My 2c.

What is the deal with this? Last night at NWAF I came across a trio in the tents and ambushed them, killing one and wounding two of them. I lost sight of them for several minutes, then I noticed one of them dragging one of their buddies south west of the airfield into the tree line. How do you do this? I don't seem to have the option to readily do this, yet I am certain that was what I saw last night. It isn't the most useful thing I suppose, but there have been several situations I have been in where that would have been invaluable to my buddies continued survival. As a side note, after I killed the first guy in the tents, the other two came to my general area demanding I surrender my arms. I lit one up with an SKS and then after a dance around a 2 1/2ton wreck, I put a makarov clip into the third guy too. Who in their right mind would surrender to a group after having shot and killed one of their own? When they ordered me to drop my weapons and surrender, I laughed and continued to perforate them and their equipment with lead. Unfortunately, right after that, I put 3 SKS rounds into my buddy, thinking I was being flanked.... Awkward.

My thoughts exactly lol.
-
Do we already know what the average vehicle will be? Is there a list I can check out? All I have heard about so far is a bicycle and ATV. I figured there wouldn't be much beyond things such as those, since gasoline shipments would likely stop in an apocalypse. Just give me a horse and a lasso, please! I want to be a cowboy!

Make your friends outside of the game. Hope that you will come across cool, friendly people in-game, but temper that with the expectation that you won't.

Is It International Crazy Person Weekend?
harteman replied to Zombie Milkman's topic in General Discussion
Game would be a failure if everyone were friendly. Count your blessings that you get some action and come out on top. P.S. If I see you as a bambi and you don't see me, I will sneak attack you every time. Know what feels really good? Knocking a fully geared player out, taking his weapon, and running away with it like it was stolen, because it was. -
What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?
harteman replied to RadikulRAM's topic in General Discussion
I was playing with a couple friends the other night, and all of a sudden I transformed into a black woman, and was surrounded by about 100 identical black woman characters, and it seemed like I could hear everyone in the game that was talking at that point as if it were next to me. Some of the character models moved around a bit, but most stood still, and I couldn't hit anyone. Was this a glitch, or a massive hack? -
Base building and secureing your stuff
harteman replied to Yokai (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Impregnable "bases", but have the ability to barricade all other doors in the game and have those barricades be damage based, so an axe or similar could break through, but perhaps could be used to stay safe from zombies, or even be necessary if roving bands of zombies ever become a thing. Edit- You can always camp someones base, so even if impregnable, it doesn't confer immunity to you, as you have to enter and exit at some point.
