    ballistic knife

    Also, originally it was an Eastern European concept from the late 70's, early 80's...It was first marketed in the mid-80's in the US, but it was a concept from Eastern Europe, which is like 60% Russia hahaha. But you're right, it was never a "spetznaz weapon", however it was designed in what I assume to be either Russia (most likely) or another Eastern European weapon manufacturing country, maybe like Czechoslovakia or something. Either way, it still fits the narrative.

    ballistic knife

    I've seen these before actually, pretty cool... Also, what happens if you need to take someone out and all you have is a knife (or there are people around so you can't use a firearm) but you can't get close without them seeing you...Don't you wish you could just launch that knife in that situation? I do...Firearms and knives may work great in their own roles, but situations like this where neither are applicable without risking your life, in comes the ballistic knife. It also is great for the survival aspect because unlike rare firearms and rare ammo in an apocalypse, you can just go grab the knife and use it again. It's silent so it won't attract more zombies/players. It can be used as a regular knife as well, so if you have one you won't need another one so it can be used as a weapon and a tool. It just seems like a good weapon for this kind of game, imho.

    ballistic knife

    I haven't played COD since highschool (been 10 years since I was a freshmen). Anyone who calls a sniper a DMR is an idiot, they are 2 entirely different weapons, used from entirely different ranges for entirely different purposes. People who call magazines clips have always ticked me off. For the LAST time people, if you don't have anything constuctive, just don't fkn comment. You've no idea what I'm thinking, don't act like you do.

    ballistic knife

    So you don't think people will scream getting hit by an arrow? Or would you rely on a silenced weapon, that's still louder a .22? Also, these things are specifically weighted to fly a certain way, just like throwing knives, they are not unbalanced nor are they "un-aerodynamic", they are also close range so accuracy isn't much of a factor, because if you miss from 5-10 feet, you suck. Just because you have no idea what you're talking about, doesn't mean it's a bad idea. If you're ignorant of something, don't comment. OR here's an idea, maybe explain WHY you think it's a bad idea...nah, you'd rather just talk out your arse so you can get your e-points. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all...Didn't we all learn this when we were 5?

    ballistic knife

    Cool, so you don't like it then don't comment. I personally couldn't care less what your opinion is. You can't call it an unsuccessful concept, because I've seen one fired and it would fkn kill you very easily, believe me. Now, take your shitty condescending attitude elsewhere before you get my topic closed for people who actually have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say. Goodbye.

    HACKER!

    Two things to look at before you make yourself look like an arrogant, attention hungry forum troll, with the same knee-jerk reaction to every post. 1) Look at the number of posts by this user, it's 6, to save you the trouble. Do you think there just MIGHT be a chance that a user with SIX posts may not be familiar with often discussed topics here and have a full understanding of the site and its navigation yet? 2) Location, location, location...This posters location says Norway, have you considered the idea that English might not be this posters first language, before you go off making fun of him for his language skills? It might not be difficult for you to form a sentence in English, because you speak it, good for you. I know that's an accomplishment. Seriously, get over yourself. There's no need for that, you could have simply directed him to the proper forum or linked him to a post discussing his concern, condescending attitude not needed. Instead, you decided to berate him for no reason.

    Where is everyone?

    Hahaha, that's ballsy man. If all else fails, Berezino is usually a sure bet.

    High pop server + NWAF = the encounter you are looking for.

    Eating and drinking system - Please, just give it up.

    For anyone saying "it's too easy" or "it's too hard", I guarantee you there is someone out there who disagrees with you. Your opinion is not fact and it's up to the devs to make that call, not you, sorry to burst your bubble.

    Broken .49 saved my life

    I have that problem when logging in too, but this very quickly goes away...It's pretty much the same type of thing, but it happens randomly throughout gameplay...Also, it seems to happen a lot when I'm running and zoom in to do a quick scan.

    Can we stop this instant-ruined-everything stuff?

    Who said it wasn't? What is wrong with you people? No shit it's an alpha, it's in BIG CAP FKN LETTERS EVERY TIME YOU PLAY. Also, in what way does your comment relate to my comment you quoted? I said I don't usually have a problem and you reply with "DURR ALPHERRRRR", for what seems to be absolutely no reason.

    Can we stop this instant-ruined-everything stuff?

    Clearly you've not read the thread, as your post does not apply to me. Also, no they still go through every door and every wall, some just take a little more work for them. Nobody said anything about pvp, and nobody said the game was finished, perfect or anything else. What WAS said, however, is that the zombies are so broken that it's crazy that they cause any damage to your gear because it's totally ridiculous trying to escape them, especially as a fresh spawn (but that's another topic for another day). Please read before posting next time, nobody needs your condescending attitude. thanks.

    Can we stop this instant-ruined-everything stuff?

    No, it's not hard, i honestly don't have this problem..Or if I do, it's not very often. But it is a bit much to get on people about it when zombies can basically hit you from anywhere they want and also sometimes there's just nowhere else to put the stuff.

    Sudden instant death and player Hit Points

    If this is indeed an intended effect, it's a horrible one. Needs to be taken out.

    Beans my man, just for that last line ^.^ so much truth

    Can we stop this instant-ruined-everything stuff?

    It's their fault if it's in your jacket or something and you lock yourself in a building to avoid zombies and they just come charging through the wall like an unblocked linebacker anyway. With the way they can just hit you through walls, through the floor, from 20 ft away, walk through closed doors, walk through walls etc. etc. etc. it's totally ridiculous that zombies even give damage right now. The zombies are so completely broken it's almost impossible to not be hit by them, regardless of where you keep your stuff.

    My screen is blurry due to the fire I made :c

    Grab a friend and hit a low pop server, post up in a tower and strip all your gear. Jump off and have your buddy guard your stuff and run back. simple.

    Why are social interactions so scarce?

    THIS....So much THIS. For example, I looted the entirety of cherno and dropped it all off in the firehouse one time...We grabbed up everything we needed and before me and my buddy were about to set out, a guy shows up out of nowhere...He saw we were armed and instantly came through DirectComm "OHHHHHH mannnnnn, come on guys...." lol. But he didn't try anything and was pretty cool so I basically forced him on his stomach and traded him an extra axe for some .45 acp. I told him to crawl into the corner, face the wall and count to 10 and once he hit 10 he could have anything he wanted inside the firehouse. By the time he was at 5 we were gone, it was his lucky day. Moral of the story is I won't kill anyone unless I have to (if they don't answer/comply, pull a gun out, run at me, etc. etc.) and I'm always amicable with other people and it usually works out for everybody.

    Also, I usually don't play night servers so I get it all the time.

    Broken .49 saved my life

    Yes, the building entirely disappears and only the loot (seemingly floating in mid-air) remains. I can see everything going on outside of the building. If I can find my way out of the building, it reappears when I look at it from outside. Usually I have to relog the server to fix it, as once it comes it doesn't go away.

    Broken .49 saved my life

    I'm not sure the program specs, exactly. However, through lots and lots of research into the topic, I've come to my own conclusion that people running 64bit operating systems do not have this problem. It could be completely coincidence, but I've yet to see even ONE single person using x64 have this problem, but every report on this same issue came from people running a 32bit os...It is my own conclusion, I have no proof. Also, I can't minimize my game without it crashing, so I can't look at the manager while DayZ is open, at all.

    Vest bugs?

    Today I was in the Cherno firehouse and I found a pristine assault vest. I got in a fight with 4 zombies and got hit once, after that it was damaged. I ran around looting for a few minutes and got in another zombie tussle, but I was not hit. A few minutes later I was just dragging the mouse through my inventory and I saw something was ruined. I hovered over a few things only to find it was my vest, ruined...from what seems to be nothing? Has anyone had this happen to them, I haven't seen anything addressing it and there is no possibility I was shot because I must have been on a popular server hopping server because everyone left (only about 7 ppl anyway) and there was only me and one other person. Plus, It's pretty obvious when you get shot, even with the no-gunshot sound bug.
  24. Finchtastic

    Vest bugs?

    Yeah, I'm certain it was pristine before hand. Also, I'm certain I wasn't hit because I didn't want to ruin my new vest anymore than it was. I was very careful.
