Yep - it's not a hack - just some left overs from the original ArmaII code. I don't think it is cheating, either as the guy above says - you don't have peripheral vision ni game and this is a good substitute. Not all servers are so equipped, though...

This is fucking priceless. OP; pray continue.

Please cease feeding the troll. I sense it is dangerously full...

The crossbow. Rightaround the time it got nerfed to fuck. Two shot zed kills plus limited to fuck ammo plus monster reload time. Happy days.

What a pointless thread. For shame.

We are discussing in general. about the topic of DayZ. Right. Looting is the main task in the game, is it not? Looking for stuff is the main occupation, right? How can you prioritize looking for one type of loot over any other? You either come across it or you don't. Yes, I know it spawns in Deer Stands and such other places more than others... I guess we are just not as awesome as you at hunting the mighty morphine power rangers... Well done. You win. You still don't address how to deal with the tedium of crawling for 30 mins + to a place where there might or might not be morphine though? I agree with you, though - it isn't necessarily any better than thinking "shit I have broken legs" and then hitting "respawn".

But the half hour run up north can be fun - you have the option to visit places, loot deer stands and barns, basically do other shit. With a broken leg, these options are either closed to you or so tediously slow to carry out that you feel the need to watch MLP and chat with buddies on Skype. This game should make you feel like you are on a knife edge, it should be tense and absorbing. All the shit that a good game should make you feel. If you are doing those other things on the side, then it is broken. You are not engaging with the game. Although, listening to music is fine - I would do the same thing (when I'm running IRL, I use my MP3 player all the time) - but think about it; if the broken leg, crawl for morphine thing was fun, you wouldn't feel the need to watch cartoons / chat on skype too, would you? Just my two cents, awash in an ocean of other two cents...

The OP is pointing out that NEWLY SPAWNED PLAYERS do not have morphine. Therefore; newly spawned player + broken leg = long crawl to hospital or respawn. Given the fact that a long crawl to hospital is not fun but tedious' date=' I know which option I would choose. That's great. You obviously have the time to spend crawling around the countryside looking for morphine. Good for you. What did you do? Put a heavy weight over the "w" key and go read a book for an hour or so? I totally agree with Finkle too - replacing the painkillers with morphine would be a good balancer. You don't start with a gun so what would be the point of curing the shakes?

There really is no point in reporting any admin abuse (real or imagined) any more. Read the below thread. http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17245

I think the OP is claiming that this "Greed" guy was using an invisibility hack / glitch / bug to either kill people. People being him. I agree, it isn't very well written, though.

Gooby pls.

I liked to think of the Global chat as being a "radio" of sorts... Not "telepathy" as some have named it. I also thought of direct as your proper voice, as in the guy is in talking distance therefore no need to use your global "radio". The trade off was that even though you could communicate over vast distances, everyone could hear you (or read you, whatever...) Just the way I tuned my mind to get around the fact that you could communicate with everyone on the server. You know, suspension of disbelief, buying the story, whatever you call it these days. Why not implement it so that once you find an actual radio, you have access to the global chat? Without it, you are restricted to direct (unless you can shout really, really FUCKING LOUD...) Just my two cents, adrift in an ocean of two cents... On a related note - the hostility around here linked to the complexity now required to install the beta patch (for my limited technological capability) added to the fact that every server seems to be running god knows what version has really turned me off this mod for now. I love it, but I'm staying away until this patch/hotfix/patch/hotfix/hotfix ad nauseum has calmed down a bit. See you all in a couple of weeks :)

Not really so much something I did - but something I had done to me... Don't worry, though, it fits in here perfectly... So, there I was, the first time I have ever been in Cherno - stalking from building to building, sneaking around and looting like a boss (or at least a senior manager). I had the basics - two water bottles, a winchester, my mak, flares and of course, teh beanz, the mythical hunting knife (seriously, its fucking impossible for me to find this thing, but I digress...) a sweet set of binoculars, shit loads of food and about 8 (possibly more, i can't remember off hand) makarov mags. I was ready to head north. I had been through the industrial bit, hit up several houses, the supermarket and the fire station... Now, I'm a greedy bastard, so I decide to go to the church and check it out before leaving. I do so and on leaving (being a clumsy greedy bastard) I accidentally aggro a shit load of zeds. I make like Usain Bolt for the train yard (just to the west) and hear shots being fired - at me, perhaps? Well, I didn't hang around to find out - I ran back to the church with the speed of a thousand gazelles, shots ringing out all over... I make it back to the church and use the door as a choke point - popping the zeds as they bunch up to come through the door. I then hear the distinctive fizzzzzzzzz-thud! of a flare and more shooting, but more sporadic. I pop my head out the door and see a flare sitting right at the church door. Opening side chat, I write; "Church. Cherno. Stop shooting or you will aggro every zed in Cherno" "Im shooting zeds and I cant come in the church because I think you'll shoot me" Chris (his name is Chris) replied. So, cut a long story short, I let him know that I have looted the place and that there is nothing here for him... He still wants to come in and claims to have no ammo on account of the zed slaying. "Ok, you can come in, but I'm NOT lowering my gun" I say. So, he trots in and starts looking around for loot, even though there is nothing there... A MrRyobi then types over side "ITS A TRAP LOL" but to his credit, he follows it up with a "jk"... Chris seems ok, so I give him one clip of Makarov (first time I ever did this so I was unsure how to use the inventory correctly...) We then sit staring at each other for a bit realising we have just alerted every ass hat bandit in Cherno to our ware-abouts... So I say "Here's what's going to happen - you're gonna leave" I didn't want to turn my back on this guy - not now that he was armed... He says "aw come on, not even a good bye? here - let me give you something - see on the floor, sardines" What a class act, I think and promptly stoop down to take them. The bastard then proceeds to shoot me in the face with my own ammo. It didn't make me mad, though; my afternoon prancing through Cherno was probably the best fun I had so far with Day Z. I just hope the new patch doesn't ruin the game (I haven't tried it yet) I re spawned and the server crashed shortly after, however... Incidentally, should anyone come across Chris on UK87; please send him my regards... Or shoot him in the face - either one suits me.:P
