SkrooLoose (DayZ)

Ah, ok. I don't use a tent myself, so I didn't know they were having issues.

@ Morgan Being a clan server, I assume you guys are using voip like Teamspeak or Vent? Just curious because I'm looking for a good-natured group to play DayZ with. I'm already in a clan now, but we only have one other active player in DayZ at the moment. So I'm looking for a larger group to run with, but I don't like to register with clans without being able to first "get a feel" for them by listening in and chatting with them. I like to listen to how they act, behave, talk... are they mature or is it like listening to the gamers on Xbox LIVE; is the communication good meaning does the group work together, and so on. I mean, there's no need for me to waste the clan's time and my time by registering only to find out after the fact that our personalities clash.

Ah, you posted as I was typing my last post. I don't use a tent myself. If I can't carry it, I don't need it. So I'm not up to speed when it comes to the tents and bugs. That kind of sucks that you can't get rid of them.

Yes, I got that impression from you on page 1 where you said you like to play exploit-free. That was my reasoning for suggesting emptying the tents and then saving them.

Just got the 5 on Monday. I ordered the pro clip with mine and I was a bit worried because there were a lot of reviews saying it wasn't worth the extra $30. But once it arrived and I opened it, I could be happier. I use a Sennheiser HD595 headset and the clip attaches perfectly to the wide, thin part of the headband.

Then why not just empty out all the tents then save them? Just take all the loot and dump it in the middle of the street.

*** edited *** Ah, I see now. US 23 is still running on 2.4. Is there a reason for that?

Why does US 23 not show up in either DayZ Commander or right through the ArmA2 server browser? I've search both US23 and US 23, and there's nothing.

Really, that's your retort? You're really going to "pretend" that those server setting don't and/or shouldn't exist to make your statement? You really are grabbing at any excuse, aren't you?

You contradict yourself in your own post. You first argue that having storage would be necessary for your style of game play, then you later state that it wouldn't have any effect on you as a player. So which is it? I agree that storage is important, but I also believe that death should be final. Once a player dies, so too should his hidden loot.

You asked a question, and it was answered. You don't like the answer so your response is to throw "retarded" around to cover your tracks. Way to stay classy. Learn to read. Not doing so simply makes you look the fool. A question was asked and an answer was given. If you couldn't comprehend what was being said then why respond?

Been there, done that.

When servers have crosshairs and name tags on, you don't even need a range finder. Just scroll over your prey and their distance "magically" appears. You set your zeroing and bang. So yes, the .50's clearly require less skill. The user doesn't have to use any tactic; they can just be lazy and camp on the wood's edge.

Yes, you got killed and it should change EVERYTHING. DayZ is meant to be a sim and death should be PERMANENT. How can it be permanent if you spawn a new character and that new character "magically" knows right where to run to for the dead character's body or tent? In real life, you wouldn't know right where to run and re-gear, so it shouldn't be that way in this sim, either. My vote is if you die, then your tents and/or vehicles die with you. As for the gear on your dead body, it SHOULD be available for others to loot, but not you yourself.

And how often does that happen when compared to the rampant kid's alt-f4'n all the time? While I do agree that 15 minutes is excessive, I do agree that there should be some sort of "time-out" implemented.

I don't see anyone mentioning it, but the .50's are necessary because, as long as there's vehicles, then there's a need to be able to take them out. Yes, there's plentiful right now and yes, a simple hive wipe is way overdue. Right now DayZ isn't being played as a survival horror, it's being played as a noob-raping, military sniper want-to-be shooter for those who can't handle playing actual military sim's with other's online. But that's the nature of the mod in it's current state. It's making that style of gameplay possible so naturally people are going to play it that way. When the standalone releases, these issues will be addressed and everyone that want's to play DayZ as it's actually meant to be played can get back to it.

I noticed this on another server I just started playing on. Late last week when I got on in the morning (my time) the server was early in night mode. But when I got on it again yesterday, roughly the same time, it was very late at night and going on morning. I know this doesn't help you, but just posting it to know your server isn't alone.

Ummmm.... there's already sheep. What more do you need?

I was wondering what happened. I didn't see anything over in ofc so I jumped in to the server forum here to see if some servers were having problems or something, and I seen this 790 post. It must have been not too long after I logged off?

Actually, if you're going to comment, you should at least make sure what you're trying to pass off as the truth is, well, actually the truth. The PS3 isn't hacked and games are safe, you say? You mean there aren't people playing (illegally) copied games off of external hard drives? And you mean that people aren't joining multiplayer matches only to find out that they're in a hacked match and their stats are sent in to the negatives (amongst other issues and hacks)? Hmmm... well that's all news to me. Fact is that all the current consoles are hacked, and I don't just mean in terms of playing illegal copies. I'm referring to their multiplayer component.

How many of you are going to jump in to the thread and post without actually reading first? You're question has been answered over and over already. Open your eyes and read. Quit being lazy.

Have you experienced the mess which is called "Battlefield 3" or "Crysis 2"? Sure, it's easy to argue that one can't fault a game before it's even released, but pc gamers have been shafted so much now that it's not a case of "innocent before proven guilty", but vice-versa. It's all too easy to "hate" on a game before it's even released because, as facts have it, that's what we've been handed over and over again as consoles have become more main stream. *This isn't an attack on the console crowd, I've owned many in the past, but the facts are the facts.

If any of the whiny, crybaby posts in the DayZ forums are any indication, then it would appear that quite a lot of little girls play.

It'd be neat if the bodies came back to life as zombies.
