I'm done with not being friendly
Hetstaine replied to VLG Castiel's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
'kill everyone cos everyone else does' Thats the mindset that is hard to break. A mate i play with regularly was so pissed off with the spammed wire fencing blocking loot spawns that he said to me .. ' Stuff it, next wire i find i am blocking a doorway ! ' Im like..uh..why ? So you can piss other people off ? Yeh that makes sense dude. Its a weird thing. -
NW Airfield base in short supply?

Hetstaine replied to hollowfication's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
has anyone got best thing game taken away? Never,this seems weird..are you saying you had something cool then you died ? I would email Rocket. Right now. -
What sort of condition is the interior in ? Does the aircon work ? Does it have a dashmat floormats or towbar ? I need a degree of comfort even with a used vehicle, plus i need to tow a boat to Elektro with the missus so we can get a spot of bait before we go fishing. Will consider trading one well used map and half a box of wet matches.If the aircon works i will throw in a shiny new hatchet. cheers.

Pulled me back into gaming, i liked the original COD and then the UO pack but felt it just fell off after that. By black ops it was as crap as it could get. BF3 was about as exciting as tripping in vomit and i could not see anything cool on the horizon regarding land warfare type games. I had moved onto flight sims many years ago as it was a wicked challenge plus the fps kiddies seemed to stay away from the harder learning curve so you can get away from all of the bullshit that goes on in the other games. But i was still wanting a nice ground fodder experience, had tried Arma years ago but too many bugs and fps problems so i ditched it and went back to flying. Then stumbled on this mod via some forum links a few months back..very cool and will definitely leave its mark in the gaming hall of fame. Just when i thought i had put my trackir away for a while too :)

Left ctrl - stand up numpad 0 - crouch/slowalk/aim numpad1 - prone End - Vault numpad7 and 8 - zeroing Right shift- one tap Fully Boss run Delete - toggle inventory (flares/chemsticks etc) I like everything to be close by around my numpad/ arrow key area - not spread all over the keyboard like a madwomans breakfast.

The six updater/launcher package is really easy. Install it. Once installed run the launcher..not the updater , select which server you would like to join, click on it, select VERIFY and your version will be updated to whatever the server is running 93685-94209 etc. Hit the JOIN button when you have been updated which will take sfa and voila, you are in game. When you get out and want to try a different server with a different Beta just repeat..VERIFY and then JOIN. Piece o piss :)

Personally i blame Abraham Lincoln and his great invention of the interwebz. Since then its all been downhill. -

Chucking flares for no apparant reason
Hetstaine replied to MrSnaps's topic in New Player Discussion
i loves me flares. -
On a average how quick do you find a gun?
Hetstaine replied to Baiski AU's topic in New Player Discussion
That is weirder than weird. Generally about 5-15 minutes max and you should be armed with at least a pistol and a winchester. In 13 hours you should trekked the map a few times, eaten a truck load of cow and boar, killed a couple of hundred zeds, drank a pond full of water and be on a coke/ pepsi paranoia high throwing chem lights into the forest randomly while shooting your assault rifle at butterflys. -
Dont server hop, its like playing monopoly with yourself and being the banker , loaning yourself cash and buying the board, Yes..you win..but how lame and boring. Its not about winning. Some people will never get this. I do the city run first. Most important thing is morphine..without it your dead. Next most important thing is a bigger backpack so i can carry enough food , morph , ammo etc for the journey inland. As long as i have my main items..Morph,bigger backpack matches,knife, extra bandages, painkillers,water bottle and at least a winnie or a mak i am set to travel. Even with only a mak i will head inland and count on a barn or deerstand to give me a better weapon. I dont hang around the cities trying to get a map or a watch or a compass or whatever else, these i will find at a castle or somewhere else on my journey up the map.

Chucking flares for no apparant reason
Hetstaine replied to MrSnaps's topic in New Player Discussion
drop the flares :) or simply press F and cycle through. -
No..but like i said above, changing between the nocs and gun could be your demise. If i have my M41 which is only about 10% of game time, possibly less, i will use it over my nocs to sus out a situation.
-
I am generally pretty useless with sniper rifles but i like the M41, i can take out zeds at deer stands and barns from ages away without aggro , similar with the Lee enfield but M41 gives me more range. Plus as mentioned above i use it to scope instead of binocs, 90 % of the time i have binocs but the scope is just as easy plus if you are spotted you do not have to swap from binocs to gun which could mean life or death. As also mentioned above, you can cover a mate who goes in to loot. It is no way just a bandit weapon, The map is large enough to warrant the use of sniper rifles unlike the ridiculous sniper action in the other tiny map pvp games. Either way it would not bother me too much as i prefer my winchester ..get a Coyote and you can carry two secondary weps plus a pistol..best of both worlds. I would say it would detract from the game losing the sniper rifles. I bet there is a heap of times everyone has been in someones scope and never even known, hell i have watched people loot and stuff around in cities from the comfort of the forest, warned people they are being stalked and warned others away from me because i have had them under a scope, its a useful tool.

Partly bullshitting :) Its as easy as fuck to get geared up on the coast and preferable for a lot of players that basically live in Cherno/ Elektro. Balota and the nearby military camp will spawn some higher tier stuff as well , i have grabbed m41, m16 , coyote m107 and other gear from there but it is not as fruitful as the bigger airfields. Still you are missing a lot of cool things on the map by coast hugging. You can gear up just as good as Cherno/Elektro at any of the castles plus get away from the madness of the coast. Visit the deer stands on the way through, although they generally dont seem to be my lucky spots as i get greeted by stacks of empty tin cans. I just like the journey inland , the open country and once i get away from the coast i feel that i am not going to cop a bullet or hatchet to the face every other second .

Why all the bandit hatred?
Hetstaine replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The only time i have shot anyone is when they have shot at me and both times i layed in wait for them to come to me..so it was an easy cap as i waited at the top of a set of stairs and got headshots with a mak. Zeds i dont even bother trying to shoot while they are running, run looking back over your shoulder..turn and shoot when they stop in their attack mode, drag em up a hill so you can cap them while they are walking or get them indoors. Trying to shoot them while they are running is a guessfest :) -
Why all the bandit hatred?
Hetstaine replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Like you said.. I think its more that people dont like getting killed, especially if you are a new respawn with minimal gear. There seems no reason for being shot when you are just strolling up from the coast with a flashlight and a bandage, possibly after waiting 15 minutes to get to a server :) But agreed , bandits are needed for the game to be interesting..otherwise its a damn love fest..with Zeds. -
