Sweet :thumbsup:

Consider adjusting your strategy if it seems too hard, likely you are looking in all the wrong places. Everyone starts on the coast, so food and drink are quickly consumed by a constant stream of fresh spawns, as you move inland you will find more stuff. Also, apple trees are your friend and provide both food and water in pretty much every settlement in the game.

Yeah it might be crappy, but it's how life works. I'm not saying nobody will trade with you, just that your odds of attracting the shiny stuff are increased by having some kind of forum history. It's a bit like trying to take out a loan with no credit history or job. If you participate in the community a bit you'll be surprised how many people are willing to help you out :) I probably have a couple, get hold if you still need.

Hey guys did you do a persistence reset over the weekend? Wondering if my stash was found or if there was a reset :P

If you shoot him properly he'll drop in 3 rounds, often 2.

I didn't choose a side in this discussion because i think the AKs is hands down the winner when it comes to back pack size full auto. Fits in your bag, fires assault rifle rounds. Boom.

Glad to be of service mate.

I've rescued a couple of people from this thread ages back. That said i tend to let people die if i think they were just too busy loot cycling to bother sorting out something to drink / eat.

Will you be requesting a similar mullet for your DayZ character? I think mullets represent hopelessness extremely graphically :P

Frankie won at atmospheric music with this one : I also don't listen to music while i play, since sound is one of the most important aspects of DayZ and music would make me less responsive to small sounds.

Giggity.

To swap a sticky Handguard : 1. Place weapon on your shoulder, have empty hands. 2. Double click Handguard on shouldered weapon to take it into hands. Discard Handguard. 3. Keeping weapon on shoulder, drag new Handguard to the weapon and click Attach Handguard. Now more wizardry to get Bipod on (AK specific atm) : 1. With handguard rail attached to weapon, shoulder weapon. 2. Paint Handguard rail on shouldered weapon Black (yes it is already black). 3. If Handguard jumps off gun during painting, re attach as above. 4. Once Handguard rail is painted Black, attach Bipod.

Yeah sorry mate, what was i thinking adding my experience to the collective discussion ;)

I only see one example in the OP where the target wasn't moving rapidly. In one example he misses so blatantly i'm not sure why it was used as an example in the first place. Due to desync and ping fluctuations every gun in dayz suffers from the same issue, missing when you're sure it was a hit. Is it calculated client side as far as animation goes? That would explain everything. Anyway, as i said i kill multiple people every day with the 133 Long Shotgun and while desync can be a bitch, if you actually land the shot well it tends to kill even at mid range. EDIT : I should add i think spread should be less, as close to realistic as possible. My point is i don't suffer from the issue posted in the OP assuming i use the right shotgun and play on well synced low ping servers. And for future reference you can just assume i've read the thread before i post :rolleyes:

Dunno what you're all on about to tell ya the truth. The 133 long shotgun is my 2nd favorite weapon after M4 and i get tonnes of kills with it, often first shot...

Was this 58 or 59? Hackers in 58 are literally everywhere at the moment :( Not sure how much better 59 is. I've seen folks who knew my player name without getting close enough to pulse check (i dont use text chat), guys with infinite ammo mags / bullets, newbies that shoot SVD bullets from their fists, people who knew what was in my bag without looking, people who teleport about the place, flying people, fast people, invisible people and guys who can spot you from any distance in any cover.. etc. I'm amazed this is your first :|

Except this is your first forum post ever so you might have a job getting someone to meet with you to sell you pristine M4's n stuff ;)

No.

I'd be fine with others being able to manipulate inventory for you while you have hands up though. One example of my thinking : You're holding someone up and they have hands in the air, but unknown to you they have primed and dropped a frag at their feet without dropping their hands.

Ok, if you could just raise both your hands for me IRL. Now try to take your wallet out of your pocket and slap it on the desk on front of you, without lowering either hand. As you can see there is method behind this madness..

BeanZ :D lovin the leathers. Yeah colours are a bit weird right now, especially black stuff.

Many possibly but FAR from everyone. I bought SA because the mod WAS a mil shooter on a bigger map (with zombies). Even still i don't expect the devs to make my perfect game, i just like what i've seen so far from both the mod and SA individually and am excited to see the final vision. The vast majority of people i've spoken to are saying things like "I'm giving it a break" or "I'm not going to play til it's finished / they add helos / zombies are back and running smooth" rather than "I'm never playing DayZ again". I think as the game starts to become smooth and polished between now and release we'll see a lot of people making a return.

Then perhaps stop repeating the same thing many times and actually accept some of the things being said to you.
