For the millionth time magazines are NOT clips!
Hetstaine replied to DJKhaled's topic in New Player Discussion
This thread shows why you dont see the tldr and dont give a fuck attitude people in serious flight simulation or on flight sim forums.. most get eaten alive because of their lack of knowledge and lack of ability to want to aqquire new knowledge, their simple dont give a fuckness and inability to engage in a discussion debate is rather amusing :) tldr..see you packing shelves at coles. -
Hi retard feeling newb guy who has no clue. I would suggest browsing the forums as there is a plethora of posts contained within that will help you out in all of the areas you ask advice on. To make it easier on yourself i would suggest to run through the ARMA tutorials that are part of the stock game. This more than anything will get you used to the game and how to interact with your backpack and items. Talk is through direct chat, 80 metres and people can hear you or 40 metres range and they can see your typed text, it is hit and miss buggy though and more than likely you will get a cap in the forehead. Dont cruise around Cherno or Elektro and expect much help , refer forehead capping. Hatchet is your friend as it is silent and deadly but requires a reload once you pick it up so you can deploy mad axe skillage. Do not waste your time picking up the double barrell shottie. It is not your friend. Read the forums. Do the tutorials. Dont come back and whine in a day about how everyone is killing you and you lost your gear that took you hours to collect. The forums are overfull of these inane posts already. Watch, observe and learn. This is not run and gun and achievement driven, and hopefully never will be. enjoy :)

can you even get a mobo without onboard ? Are you sure you do not have onboard sound ? There is basically no need for a soundcard these days unless you are an audiophile. The difference you would notice whilst gaming would be neglible at best.

For the millionth time magazines are NOT clips!
Hetstaine replied to DJKhaled's topic in New Player Discussion
Don't they call prime movers tractors in the States ? and lorries in the UK ? Fucking lorries ??? Sounds like a small plastic object a child pushes around. 'Ooooh yes i remember Oxford Johnnie..wasnt he clipped by a lorry full of magazines ? ' What about if i only manage to clip someone after emptying a full mag from my Kobra, should i call it clip or wing, i always call it wing and my missus says it makes no sense as we are not birds and therefore cannot be 'winged'. My argument with her is ' would you rather i say i armed him ? or legged him ? She begrudgingly lets me use wing or winged but i see her forehead crease eveytime i wing another zed. Its actually amazing how many i can wing in a single session. clip, mag ..got it and thanks, its pretty basic stuff. I was thinking clip was slang for a pistol only magazine maybe, i was never really sure. I have also always understood that a magazine is a place ( i thought it was just a ship term though and didnt relate to land storage) where the ammo is stored. Guessing the Barham was not a fan ;) -
Direct communication questions
Hetstaine replied to [email protected]'s topic in New Player Discussion
Direct works randomly. Players within 80m can hear you, within a 40m range they can see your text. I say randomly because we have tried to use it in our small group and they can see the mouth animation but a lot of the time they do not hear anything. Same with text..sometimes works sometimes does not. Definitely not a good thing in a tight situation. We bailed from the in game comms and use skype or ts, i have tried direct a few times when other players are near but very rarely get a result so i assume they are not hearing me either. -
Do not go anywhere without at least one morph in your ready to use items and a few in your backpack. Crawling for an hour sux the big one.Morph imo is the most important item in the game, especially if you are a lone traveller. Try to always stay above 10 thou blood, when under be more wary. Zig zagging zeds aside..when they are chasing you if you look over your shoulder while running, you will see when they get close they go into attack mode, turn quickly and headshoot them , you have a few seconds while they are standing still. Dont go anywhere without morphine. Zeds get through walls , its a glitch or whatever..be aware of it always :) When in buildings stay the fuck away from walls that give zeds the chance to get at you, especially if they know you are there. Dont go anywhere without morphine.

Hetstaine replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think the number of players is enough for everyone involved with dayz to show that we all want dayz to succeed :) -

God i'm fukin immature..i lol'd :D ...If only it wasn't so true, i have lost count of the amount of AK's i have had to leave scattered around while people are struggling to get a hatchet. and did someone up there say crawl...crawl into Cherno ? .. If you just absolutely positively have to go to Cherno to get a gun..or Elektro, hit the place like a mad bitch on her monthlies looking for a man to scorn. Hit all of the obvious places like the fucking Flash, get in and out , dont worry about the marathon of zeds trailing you, duck , out and around buildings only stopping to pick up a gun , preferably a winnie or dinner bell and score a pistola as well if you can. Everyone disses the Mak but it will headshot as good as any other gun in the game at close range. Lead your little trail of dedicated followers to the nearest hill and pop them. You should be able to score a weapon in under two miutes once you get to the outskirts of either of these two sniping zones. Of course if your game plan is to hang around and enjoy the pvp fest then you need to go sneak mode..but crawl..fuk no. All you are doing is giving everyone a good zoomed view of your ass sweat as you prone towards a sure death.

guild wars 2 > this broken game
Hetstaine replied to despair (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Cheers man. :) -
Lesson for the day.. Sarcasm.--Sarcasm is a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt usually conveyed through irony or understatement. in this case the poster was getting his point across by being sarcastic yet also ironic, when done well it is also known as Sarcony or to have been Sarc-owned.. as in..Oh that naphta..he so sarc-owned that dude on the forum the other day !

Why does the Bicycle Headlight not work? wtf
Hetstaine replied to -Omerta-'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You have to find the 'bike pump of Damocles' , this will unlock the 'light of Alexandria ' achievment and thus your journey will be well lit..extremely well lit. I advise you find the 'sunnies of Stevie Wonder ' first. -
Check behind the grassy knoll..there was a second shooter..

No Respawn button now? /sigh
Hetstaine replied to A Bush killed me's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Run to some zeds and kill yourself, should take about a minute max. What would you rather..take a minute to suicide ( im already died just the funeral i been waiting for ) or hit the respawn button by mistake on a 20 day old char ? -
oh my god i just witnessed a murder
Hetstaine replied to Rising (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
