    The M24, Gentleman's Rifle

    Dislike the DMR, think it's effective rate of fire is too high, big fan of bolt action rifles.
  2. When you die you should enter a room with black and white squares on the floor, surrounded by thick deep red velvet curtain and a greeted by a backwards walking, backwards talking midget.

    Bit of a n00b question.

    Never use the drop button in your inventory, if you do it's impossible to predict what happens to that gear. Sometimes it just deletes itself and sometimes it disappears for 20-30 seconds, before it respawns randomly somewhere around you. Using the < arrows > in left inventory window guarantees that the item is dropped exactly at your feet.

    No news, is news.

    Stop fuel leak in helicopter?

    Since someone necro'd this old thread, I might as well use this thread to ask if anyone has a few spare windscrenns, because as of effing five minutes ago, I've got a bit of a fuel leak myself...

    Never seen this hack before.

    You did the very best thing you could do, disconnect from the server and asked for advice on the official site.
  7. And cooties, Bill means syphilis.

    Chopper hiding spots

    That island is definitely out of bounds, don't know if out of bounds vehicles/camps are deleted automatically, but I consider hiding vehicles outside the boarders of the detailed map an exploit. My chopper survived the night, but I know every time I log off, it's back in play. No 100% guarantees in DayZ, I think that's what I like about it.

    Mass Global Ban Hack?

    I think it's within the limits of that regular hacks can do, he just blacked out all the player's screens with a message saying global ban, please go to download-cd-keystealer dot com if you want to appeal.

    Explain Your Avatar!

    Hetstaine, I kind of figured it was Ron Pearlman's lion man character from that old tv series Beauty and the beast taking a poop.
  11. Vehicles need to spawn with a % chance of a corpse hidden in the backseat. If you don't notice it or remove there should be a % chance that it comes to life, while driving.

    Hide tents offline

    I think it's completely against the unforgiving nature of the mod. If you got something too good to hind in your tent, carry it along with you.
  13. That would be nice, patch look very cool.
  14. Killing the bot will kill the player and wipe him from the hive right?

    Standalone could slip to 2013

    Cheer up buttercup! It's either ready or not. Anyways the mod seems to be back on track in the good solid hands of the community. Imagine if the standalone launched with 60% of Chernarus-Plus locked, because it was still under development. Rocket and DayZ has come a long way with an uncompromising vision and as much patience as any gaming community can muster. No need to start compromising now and no need to lose it all, by losing the patience.

    *HELP*need help downloading DayZ

    Yes, but I don't know what teamview is and am not willing to install it. Download Dazcommander, install it, run it, it's self explanatory, it's so easy a doofus like me can do it, give it a try.
  17. You probably knocked him out and he bleed to death or got eaten before he came to himself and could bandage him wounds. Just continue playing, Whether you prefer to solve potential conflicts and threatening strangers with violence or prefer to take cover, never shoot first and try to escape, you get to chose that yourself. Both play styles have their risks and rewards.

    *HELP*need help downloading DayZ

    I've been doing the installing and updating manually for several months, I should have downloaded and installed dayzcommander a long time ago. It makes it very simple to download and install, to update new versions or to roll back to older versions, if you ever needed it.
  19. I'd like to see more variation in melee weapons, civilian weapons and hunting weapons. I'd like to see new military weapons, but I'd really like to see top tier weapons become much harder to find.
  20. I feel alone and safe, until I hear or imagine I hear human activity and then I get worried. Funny thing is I'm scared of dying, but every time I do, I'm so happy to start all over agian.

    Shooting birds?

    In Operation Flashpoint your dead cam flying seagull could scream if you pressed the fire key. Any ArmA 2 players remember if dead cam crows also can scream?

    Problem with starting Day Z!!

    I think maybe the only thing you have to do, is to change DayZcommander to launch Operation Arrowhead, instead of Combined Operations. 1. Start ArmA2, then shut it down, when you've loaded it. 2. Start Operation Arrowhead, then shut it down. 3. Then try to start DayZcommander and update. Combined Operations was the old way to launch ArmA2 and ArmA2:OA together. I think Steam/ArmA has been updated and have "magically" seperated your Combined Operation into ArmA2 and ArmA2 OA. In your Steam library it should say ArmA2 and ArmA2:OA and when you launch OA, it should automatically launch ArmA2 also. You can check it in the ingame expansions menu. If both the ArmA2 box and the OA box is checked, you are running what was used to be called Combined Operations, before Steam/ArmA was updated. If you need to activate/deactivate any expansion and press ok, the game will automatically restart to change the settings. Does this make sense?

    Adrenaline meter.

    I think stamina already suffice. Anyways DayZ as the only game I've ever play has the ability to make my hands shake with excess adrenaline, after escaping three shooters hunting me.

    Player Movement / Animations

    Ever tried to do a forward roll into cover with a full pack, ammunition and a rifle? You either performed an semi-controlled crash into cover or you take enough time to make sure you don't injure yourself or accidentally fill up your barrel with dirt. Them again BI has said they are trying to make ArmA 3 animations more smooth and controls more intuitive, without compromising their vision. Some of this might very well make it into DayZ, as they are also redoing animations.
