Yea I wondered about that too. There's a difference between the rifle having a NV scope itself and being able to look through a regular scope like the DMR's with NV goggles.

My best kill ever. Three players killed one of our guys, who had fallen behind on a field. We waited for them to loot his body, then we opened up on them. One died, two disconnected. We changed position and waited them out. Less than 5 minutes later they log back in and gets executed.

This might be a stupid question. But did he just upload a video with his player name and GUID, exploiting the debug forrest, killing loads players, while they were receiving character data? Video shows player Jex logging in. His GUID: 266a8b32f8c79f156ce64cb10d5600c1

48 hours of game time.

Yes, you were killing all players trying to log in on the server, while they were trying to receive their character data.

Sounds like you were looking for an excuse to server hop.

If the infected could sense a difference between bandits and survivors, they'd prolly let bandits be.

Your humanity will reset automatically, well slowly. Just stop killing people on sight and voilá, your humanity will back to normal after 12-48 hours of being a nice guy.

Range finder is legit. Kind of. If you found the NVGs, Ranger finder on the same person who hacked the M40, all are probably hacked. You wont get a global ban for picking up a hacked weapon, I don't think so, but why risk anything and if it's an illegit weapon, using it knowingly, you're still a cheat.

No proof of cheating is not proof of cheating.

I guess DayZ nights try to give you an authentic experience of being scared and lost in the dark. By the amount of posts darkness is generating, I guess DayZ succeeded.

Beards(always capitalized).

If only you could cook a gps.

I'm not sure hacking is allowed in DayZ.

Empty cans are like gold, currently I'm selling a pair of NVGs for 750 cans.

Pay attention to the ear/eye icon on your right side and how they change based on what stance, speed and surface you move on.

I don't think carebear is that offense, just a term that get dropped when PvE and PvP conflict a bit. I think OP just used it as an excuse to post those other words.

I would have been funnier, if it had been funnier. :D

Were you wearing camo gear? I'm asking not because it's against any rules, but if you weren't maybe the admin meant to ban someone else and somehow messed up? I have no idea why camo gear is used as a reason for a ban, camo clothing, ghillie suits and camouflaged SVDs are all legit gear no?

If you get the timing just right, you can pretend you're kicking the zombie in the balls using the step over animation.

Yes I've experienced total blackout 5-10 times in my life, it's an eye opening and wild experience. I even used a g-shock watch as a light scource, because it made the difference from being totally blind to seeing shapes 3-4 meters away. I don't have NVGs nor does most other players and I really don't worry about them much, since I never raid NVAF at night. At night I rely on my map/compas for navigation, listen to the surface and my suroundings. I also rely on chemlights, road flares and my flashlight, when I hear moaning from zombies. Running with flares is generally a really bad idea. Not only because you're a big stupid target for bandits or because flares attract zombies, but running is probably the worst thing you can do near build up areas. When I use road flares, I throw them as far as I can and generally stay out of the light. I use them to draw zombies away from where I'm going and to create sharper siluettes, when I'm navigating inside the city. If you throw a couple all over the area, obviously you'll draw some attention to yourself, but road flares will completely bleed out NVGs and as long as you always keep moving low and fast and always keep close to solid cover, you should be equipped to handle any contact. Chemlights are great for lighting up your immediate area or if you're pointman in a group. Chemlights are very obvious at close range encounters, but at 1-200 meters they are easy to miss. At the first sign of trouble, you should drop/extinguish the chemlight. I don't use flashlight alot and only for short flashes, either to sweep a deer stand before I sneak in, provide light for someone else or flash in the direction of teammates lost in the dark. Flashlights are also easy to miss, especially if you keep it pointed low towards the ground. Anyways the vast majority of my deaths and kills have happened durring dayligth. If someone spots your first, whether it's at day or night, you're usually in the mercey of their level of skill and humanity. Whether it's day or night, the way you use cover and consealment, makes a really big difference in your own survival. Don't think everyone is using NVGs at night just because they are able to outsmart and outmaneuver you under the same limited conditions. Finally if you never play at night, switch servers at the sight of dusk, you'll never develop your nocturnal skillset. Don't cheat yourself of an experience, because you're afraid of the dark.

What are we pissed off again that we can't tweek gamma to turn night into day?

Don't think we'll see a standalone in 2012.
