Fell through the bottom of the crane furthest east in Elecktro, the one right by the shore. Happened last weekend.

Rekt.

Hey Big Boss, If you wanna give one up, my clan could use one. Or should I say one of our players, anyway. All he has to do right now is loot, until his new pc is all bought and assembled. I could trade you something. PM RAK? Fully-loaded M4?

Good time to practice the PvP. That is how I see it. I want my opponents to be as well armed as possible, this is a pretty good way to get that to happen. It isn't game-time yet, like you said, still alpha. Enjoy this opportunity. Get out there and test your survival abilities. Shit just got a lot harder! Excellent, right?

[pet]gerbil What makes me me is my skill with the kill. I play extremely cautious, but I play to kill. I kill any geared player who does not immediately recognize who I am and bow down before me. You might not know who I am, but I know me, and lemme tell you, I am a killer through and through. For me, it has gotten to the point where the game and its players, they rarely if ever kill me. The only things that have killed me in the longest time have been glitches, and hackers. The cool thing is I am absolutely alright with that. When hackers eventually kill me (and they do, eventually) I look at it as a way to gear back up, a temporary setback at best. While I am on the topic of hackers, let me say first I have run across dozens and dozens, too many to remember at this point I think. The funny thing is, I think most of those hackers, they are the guys who bitch and moan here and elsewhere about KOS, and how people aren't playing the game correctly. It would certainly explain why 9 out of 10 hackers are absolute trash at PvP. It would also explain why I am harassed more as a fully geared player than at any other time. But it is cool you shitheads, because like I said, I don't count dying to hackers as a loss. I look at it as a way to have a little more to do while I look for more people to kill. You shitheads actually add to my experience. Thanks. But yeah, if you see [pet] in your server, and you are armed, be aware, we are looking for you, we will find you, and we will kill you. We don't need your trash gear either, we will likely destroy it. You see, Chernarus is OURS, and you are on our fucking lawn. Prepare to die.

Two tents can hold like 6 guns total? Nothing wrong with that.

Lol, I love it when people decide it is time to go hunt bandits. They should look in the mirror.

Lootsplosion. Lootgasm? Lootsplosion.

Not to be a dick myself, but the guy is expressing his opinion, a valid one at that, and you are all over his ass, even telling him to find another game. You don't even know if these mechanics in their current state will remain the same. Maybe you don't like his opinion, but attacking him for sharing his thoughts is pretty mean, what gives you the right?

Found a pm rak today... No mag. The rarity of this weapon and its mag combined is insane. It should always spawn with an empty 15rd mag.

I wanna know where the damn PSO-1 scope went. Its my main defense against snipers...

560ti is good enough for this game which is rendered in dx9. It won't max it, but you'll be fine. Game is cpu bound, and only runs on two cores right now.

Certain new rains put a black circle around my guy with a radius of about 15 meters. IT's like the shading on my screen gets totally messed up, til it stops raining.

It isn't the tower, it is random locations all across the map. The loot is "pooling up" in spots, so to speak. I already found this happening 3 times in separate barracks. Imagine my surprise at that. Also, your pics, that is on the light end for what can actually happen. At one barracks there were over 50 weapons, mostly AK's. It isn't a server here or there, either. It is ALL persistent servers. The trick is finding the spots where it is happening. In one server it is the tents at NWAF, another it is half of Elecktro. The spots vary, and it is widespread. My advice is get your pvp on now, while you can practice with all the loot, so you know how to defend yourself come time.

I've got 2 AK74u's with clips for trade. Looking for an MP5k with clip. Edit- And a black balaclava.

Just saw the "A" icon on the accept button in DayZ when I alt+tabbed back into the game.

About a month ago I ran some experiments. I found backpacks, and even weapons on the ground, to be as good as a tent. The problem comes, however, with the fact that in all my test servers with stashes large and small they crashed after a little over a week. When they come back up, everything is gone. This was in .49, but yeah, backpacks are just as good. I found out after being disappointed with the storage space a tent provides.

Beards, razors, long hair and clippers would be kinda cool. I'd be less inclined to shoot someone who values their life.

32bit and not optimized for quad core+ processors.

I explain KOS to myself as resources being scarce, people starving, and more people simply makes things worse. I do a service to anyone not in my sights. If you are in my sights, however, you did something wrong.

Think about it. We all have an internet connection. We all use it to look at a map when we play the game. I personally use my phone. I can use it to set waypoints and accurately gauge distance. I can even join a group, then update my position, and read others positions on the map that are in my group. Every single player has this capability in some shape or form. In game however, we have to find pieces of a map. Nobody does this. This isn't about realism, this is about being real. There is absolutely no good reason to not have a map in-game that rivals what we can look at by using an alt-tab. Also, what is the point of a range finder, when everyone has the ability to set waypoints on a map between two known locations? Everyone should start with a range finder. It should be their map. A map just like the ones we see online.

Let me start off by saying I love this game, and I haven't had a gaming experience quite like what DayZ offers. With that out of the way, I want to ask this forum and those who come here to post, why all the judgement of others play? Everywhere I look in these forums, there are people arguing about how this game should be played. I don't understand this, or at least to me, it seems unreasonable. This game is a sandbox, yes? One where we can do pretty much whatever we want, right? If that is the case, all styles of play within the rules of the game are valid. If all styles of play the game allows are valid, why do people resort to calling others "bad" at the game for doing what they like to do? I myself like PVP, it is the reason I play. To me, it is my end-game. I have no problems overcoming what the game has to throw at me. I have gone hunting, I've cooked steaks over a fire, killed many zombies, and I have looted for hundreds of hours. I tend to play smart, and because of that, I don't lose to the game, unless it is due to things I have no control over, like bugs and glitches, or the occasional hacker. The only way I "lose" is by getting killed by other players. But I don't mind that. I don't mind that at all. I think it is the best part of the game. What else is there for me, really? I have been everywhere, seen everything, looted it all. There comes a point where I have fully geared my character. What do I do now? I need for nothing, not ammo, armor, weapons, food... What would you have me do now? Sit and wait until I get thirsty or hungry? Go hide in the woods, and wait? For what though, I ask you. Now, I suppose you could say something along the lines of helping fresh spawns out. But you see, I already have done that, many times. It usually goes badly for me somehow. Turns out, most players in this game want to see you dead. I have no problem with that, because it makes the game more of a challenge for me. I already said I have no issues with staying alive in the game, when no other players are involved. To me, PVP is the SOLUTION. Right now, in this moment in time within the games development, PVE is easy as can be. Now maybe for some of us, PVE IS challenging. I dig that. But I say again, it is too easy for me. I require more than just that. I find it in players who would test their mettle against mine. You would judge me for this? You look down on players like me? Why? I'm serious, answer me. Just this week, I had what I consider my finest moment in DayZ. I was so pumped after it went down, I couldn't believe how satisfying it was. I don't get this from playing other FPS games, like BF4 or COD. Never have never will. Only DayZ offers me this: My friend and I, we were in Cherno, looting it up, when we heard Mosin and AK fire from within the city. We were at the fire station. We exited and headed west. 50 meters out, my friend got shot, his leg broken and he unconscious. I kept running, looking to get behind cover and find where the fire came from. Once I reached cover, my friend regained his consciousness, and he saw where they were, they were just exiting the fire station, coming our way, looking for us. Once I saw them, I made the decision to try my hand at throwing a grenade. I pulled it out, pulled the pin, and cocked it back, ready to throw. I waited until I thought they would be within range, then I threw it. BOOM! I nailed them both. I was ecstatic! Such a thrill, such a rush! Two in one! My first nade kill. It was awesome. I've never had experiences like this in Battlefield, or Call of Duty. Only in DayZ. But I am playing wrong? I should play in a way that gives me less enjoyment? Your way? No thank you, I play my way. You can play yours. I am not trying to tell you what to do, I am telling you what I do, and why I do it. I have fun doing it. Is that so wrong?

WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. How do those wars stack up against wars from the past? Also, ""war-related deaths" at the lowest point of recorded history." is only true depending on what slice of time you use to call "ours". If you count the last 100 years, that all goes out the window. The deadliest war ever was WW2. Many still live, who fought that war. Would you claim that WW2 is so far back it doesn't count as modern? I say if people are still alive who fought it, it is pretty damn modern.

You could have said that without coming across as an asshole. Not calling you an asshole, just saying that you appear to be one.

I would play on servers with good admins, who didn't abuse their power. I wouldn't play on ones that had abusive admins. It would sort itself out real quick.
