    Guns you can't wait to see in DayZ?

    I'm hardly so exciting, but I would love to see a carbine variant of the Mosin Nagant that had less damage at range but a faster time to bring up and swap to than it's longer counterpart.

    Scariest Experience in DayZ

    I have literally jumped out of my seat when I was in a building once and a Zombie just did the Chatanooga Choo Choo right through the door and hit me. Literally. The literal definition of literal. My voluptuous asshole vertically ascended upwards and left contact with the chair. I wasn't expecting that at all, it surprised me more than I can describe.

    Well, I think both are silly.

    Why it's hard not to K.O.S.

    It's really easy to not kill people on sight. Just just don't aim a gun at them and pull the trigger with ammunition inside. You know the risks, yes, but as a human being who is sentient you can't blame anybody but yourself for killing other players on suspicion alone.

    If I said that child pornography was a far cry from genocide, you wouldn't say I was appearing to endorse child pornography. Why would you say that make it seem like I'm find with cannibalism because I said it was a far cry from wearing human skin?

    DayZ PS4 Discussion

    No. A thousand times no. A PC will not run a finished and optimized DayZ worse than a Playstation 4 will. DayZ will be like the rest of the console's "next gen" games: running at 30fps. Also, as a PC player, I can barely type the words "next gen console" without laughing.

    I literally called the two things a far cry from each other. I even put a little face on it. "Far cry". To clarify this, compliments of the Merriam-Webster dictionary: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/far%20cry far cry (noun) 1 : a long distance 2 : something notably different "The effects of the new law were a far cry from what was intended."

    I'm not saying any of this from a moral standpoint, but from a gameplay one. It's the in-game depiction of such items that is different. I am against cannibalism, but that was mostly from a "It's pointless" reasoning. Same as I'm against wearing the skin of other humans. It's pointless.It's not necessary from really any sort of perspective. With cannibalism, the difference between getting human meat from a corpse and cooking it and eating it is identical to an animal. In fact, when you get down to it, the only difference between human meat and a deer steak is the name of it in terms of appearances. Similarly, when you cut up a human body, it's not graphic. Your character doesn't actually cut up the body, leaving behind a skinless, gutted model of a human corpse. In fact, cannibalism in the game is only "implied". You never see how character gut the flesh, blood doesn't gush everywhere, they don't put it into their bag, any of that. Similarly, when you cook the meat it's identical to how you cook an animal steak. Cannibalism in DayZ isn't graphic. It's mostly a text based affair. Your imagination does most of the work. Wearing human skins would require artists to make out and draw human skin versions of masks and whatnot, and for...what? Just the grim factor of it? I can understand that much, but even then...that's really stretching it. No pun intended. Now, if artists wanted to just use the same leather models for the vests that you make from animals, that would nullify their need to design their own models. If that was the case, then the reason I gave wouldn't hold water. Still another issue that I have with it, though. That would mean that every other player would be a potential ten slot leather vest, hat, food source, all that stuff. All this would do, it seems to me, would be to encourage even stronger the Kill-on-sight mentality that already plagues the game. There's no scenario that I can think of where eating another person would be a viable option to survival. With cannibalism, you would have to kill another player, skin it, cook it, make a fire, all that...if you're starving, you don't have that kind of time. I'm not saying it's impossible...maybe there could actually occur an instance where cannibalism was the only way to survive. Maybe. Those times must be incredibly rare, though. Mythically rare. As it stands, the prevalence of food and the ease of farming is a far better option, especially now that you can make stone knives anywhere and cut seeds out of fruit. I never said I liked cannibalism. I've been against it since it was implemented, but I've never made a huge fuss of it. Basically the idea is that I don't think making the bodies of other players actual resources is a good idea. I can certainly live with it, and I won't complain about the in game use of it. I've never complained about cannibalism while in the game...but I still don't think it was the right move. I can deal with it, though. It's no skin off my ba... ... Anyway, that being said, I don't like either things. I never said I liked cannibalism.

    Server Admin Logs not reporting all kills

    Just like with all things DayZ related, the first iteration of a mechanic is rarely ideal.

    I wonder...

    1) There isn't any incorrect grammar in that sentence. It is long and awkward. It's not objectively incorrect. The point still stands, though, but you have chosen to nitpick at improper grammar that does not exist instead of focusing on the message or the point of the sentence and offering a rebuttal. 2) (I'll make this one bold so you won't miss it) If you think that a person's opinion or idea is made irrelevant because they have a grammatical error in a sentence...you are an idiot. Normally it takes more than four posts for a person to make themselves out as a fool. This is why kids need to stay in school and develop proper reasoning skills.

    I wonder...

    Cooking an icon of meat that only says it's human flesh on a fire and your character eating with an animation that is hardly "eating" is a far cry from wearing skinned human remains.

    Food and Eating

    Having to use a utensil is an invention of civilization and actually slows down the consumption process for the sake of tidiness.

    Is the AUG worth finding?

    No. The M4 isn't worth finding, either.

    Alrighty, that's good. I just wanted to know what they meant by the phrase, since it seemed interpretable in multiple ways.
