Arcadies

NW Airfield might as well be Detroit. Shoot first or they will.

Enfield does around 12400 blood in one shot depending on variables. Shotgun slug deals like 6500 in one shot. Shotgun pellet deals about 2000 per pellet, and there are 8? pellets. Thats 16000 blood at close ranges. Of the five non military primary guns (the ones you get in farm loot.) The Winchester is your entry battle rifle - Mid to long range, 15 round mags The Crossbow is your entry silent weapon The Double Barrel Shotty is your entry... shotty. The Enfield is your entry sharpshooter rifle. The CZ 550 is your entry sniper rifle. None of these weapons is "best". It all depends on your play style.

About the watches... back before things got really bad and people were scrambling to stock up on supplies, the first thing of value they were willing to part with were their watches. Now I have tons of expensive watches people traded me for things like toilet paper and bottled water.

No one has been farming anything for weeks, all I have is beans and more beans. And I don't need bullets, there seems to be ammunition for days in Chernarus. What I DO need is medical supplies... I have no idea who runs the hospital in Elektro, but I'll be damned if I'm going near that place.

Thank you! Please come again!

Hello potential customers! My name is Arcadies and I am a humble store owner. I am owner and sole-proprietor of the market in Elektro. I understand that with the zombie apocalypse, certain staples of society have fallen down. But please, I emplore you, don't resort to thuggery. Recently, there have been a rash of break ins at my store, I've caught armed robbers trying to steal cans of beans and Mountain Dew off the shelves. Because of the lack of law enforcement in Elektro, I've had to take justice into my own hands and shoot these would be thieves. I've even had to shoot people breaking into my apartment across the street. I understand that people have needs, but please, lets be civil about it. If I have something in my store that you want to acquire, bring something to trade for it. I can't just be giving away beans to everyone that starts out with nothing. I have to run a business here. So, to close, don't be mad if I shoot you if you're snooping through my store or my apartment.

Oh man, you know a guy with AR15s? That totally makes you a badass. Lets team up. Meet you in Cherno?

And yet, I survive. But you, you die. Which one of us is doing it wrong?

This is a survival sim. You failed to survive. Then you come to the forums to let us know how stupid you are. If this was a real survival situation, your stupid ass walked up to some random person in a car while you had full military weapons then expected them to be your new apocalypse pal. After they drove off into a town, your retarded ass starts hearing explosions and decides the smartest survival move is to run TOWARD THEM. Nice survival instinct you got there. No wonder no one wants to team up with you. Youre a casualty waiting to happen, and drag everyone around you in.

Welcome to the Super Happy Bean Friends Zombie Time Hooray! mod for ARMA II. We understand that people arent being happy bean friends with you ingame. This is a serious concern for us as it goes against the fuzzy care feeling this mod is supposed to have. If you have any names of the people being mean to you, please let us know. They will receive a stern talking to and have their cookie privledges revoked. Thank you, on behalf of the Day Z Carebear Commitee

This is a simulation of an apocalypse. There are no laws, no rules. Why in the fuck would you stand near a random group of armed men, who are activly scouting one of the more violent cities, and then say "AW SHUCKS GUYS, ARE YOU FRIENDLIES?" Moreso, why the fuck would you be confused why you died? You died because you're mentally slow, possibly full on retarded. In a widespread catastrophic situation, you would be dead. Your survival instincts are poor, and you would be one of the first to die. I'm sorry, but your skills in Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas have deceived you. You would not make it. Here is a hint for you. Avoid groups of armed men who are scouting a place out. They were hunting for targets, and some dumbass literally walked up to them and asked "friendly? friendly?" You made their work easy. Really really easy. What should you have done? First off, once you noticed two guys, one with binocs not looking at you, you know you've got the drop on them. You must then evaluate fight or flight. Which option means survival for you. You stated you only had two shots in your weapon and that you're a bad shot. So taking a shot would probably mean you don't kill them both and they retaliate, killing you. So you must flee. Depending on your distance from them, and the area they are watching, you may want to just dead spring away from them, away from the town. Hope and pray they don't see you before you have enough distance to where its hard to shoot you. Once you've got some distance and you look over your shoulder and they're not chasing you... then you can stop running behind cover to check to see if they are aiming at you. If they are, try and flee through cover and concealment. Here is a cardinal rule for you: Evade and Survive. You broke that rule and died for it.

Day Z is a survival simulation, right? "Bandits" stay alive for days on end. You all stay alive for maybe an hour or two. Who is playing the game right and who is playing it wrong?

Because that fresh spawn has bandages and painkillers. That fresh spawn might just find a gun later and turn right around and kill you. I've led a freshie toward a safe loot area just to have him pick up a hatchet and kill me for my stuff. There was a forum post a week or so ago about a guy that tried to take a freshie under his wing, but then got killed the moment he gave the freshie a gun. Fresh spawned characters have nothing to lose and everything to gain by killing you. Seems to me that I would make a fresh spawn a priority one target.

There is no such thing as a bandit. We're all survivors in this game. Sometimes, to survive, you have to kill other survivors. Sometimes, your best means of survival is by killing all the other survivors. I keep hearing all these complaints about bandit groups just killing people and not really playing the game right. But how can that be? It seems to me that this game is all about survival, and THEY are the ones surviving the best. Just because they're not surviving in the way YOU would like to survive, doesn't mean they're doing it wrong. They seem to be doing it very right, actually. You're the ones doing it very wrong. To sum up, do what it takes to survive. For some people, what it takes means killing anyone you see and taking what they have. For others, what it takes means forming partnerships and alliances to help one another. For me, it means supreme stealth and killing people when my zone of safety has been breached.
