It's only rare when you're looking for it.

how can i tell who is a bandit or hero?
wartzilla replied to nickaepi's topic in New Player Discussion
There are no servers with different rules or anything. DayZ is DayZ, and it's always a free-for-all. The only distinction is hardcore and regular, which is first-person-only and third-person-allowed respectively. These servers save different characters, so you have a hardcore character and a regular character. Some servers ban people for playing ways they don't like, but those are actually breaching terms of service and should be reported. And no, you can't see 'humanity level' or anything like that, because it's unrealistic. You have to choose whether it's worth the risk to trust or contact someone. -
What do you keep in your inventory? My backpack versus my friends.
wartzilla replied to Hagon94's topic in General Discussion
1) no 2) logical in itself, but in dayz it makes no difference where an item is on your person if you get shot, the clothes get ruined, and the way it works is anything in the clothes gets ruined once they're ruined, so it's a zero-sum game. They're supposed to be fixing this, not sure if they've done anything yet. 99% of the time you get shot in the chest, not the legs. Good luck keeping up your return fire when all your mags are ruined. Personally I spread out my magazines and saline bags so I know I always have some. Why do you play DayZ, so you can sit in the woods and eat beans? -
100 hours, never seen one. For sure. Please read the OP. Hackers only, no exploiters. This guy was, at worst, a duper, but more likely he was just a loot farmer. I have 3 cases full of 5.56 stacks, I've never duped or exploited.

What Is Your Hangout Spot Where Do You Prefer To Spend Your Time
wartzilla replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
Then everyone assumes it is, due to the loot mechanics. If everyone knew there would be the possibility of loot regardless, more people would come. -
What Is Your Hangout Spot Where Do You Prefer To Spend Your Time
wartzilla replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
That's because there's no reason to. On a full server, everyone knows NWAF has already been picked clean, so there's no reason to go there except if you have some odd desire to get sniped of your own free will. In the mod, every spot on the map was viable due to loot respawning. We desperately need loot respawning to come back, to lower the viability of server hopping, and to make people spread out. -
I don't understand this. Positional noise in Arma 2 and the mod worked just fine, but now, in the standalone, sound loudness and direction makes no sense at all and has nothing in common with reality. Anyone else experiencing this? It's impossible to pinpoint snipers, for example, unlike in the mod.

The nature of public hives effectively destroy the challenge of surviving.
wartzilla replied to froggan's topic in General Discussion
So you'd want all your investment to be tied up to one server, and when it's down, you're starting fresh? You don't want a persistent character? Okay bro. Have fun. -
While I was waiting for my team-mate at Krasnostav, I had the chance to briefly meet 3 survivors.. They no longer exist
wartzilla replied to ztranger's topic in Gallery
Oh, gee, self-righteous 'heroes' who are the 'best killers in the game'.. you mean those people who are exactly like us, but call everyone they kill bandits so they can call themselves 'bandit hunters'? Pray tell, what's the alternative? Meeting other people and.. talking to them? I'm not here to play Second Life. -
Total myth. The M4 is reliable. Please stop spouting Vietnam-era drivel.
-
That was a fun video, although it would have been better with ingame sound and perhaps quiet background music. Then it would have been more tense and you wouldn't have had to point out DMR shots.. I'm biased towards team firefight and ambush videos, though.
-
'fanboy'? I've never heard of these guys before seeing this video. I'm just saying I liked the video. How does that make me a fanboy? I'll try to not think of your incredibly shitty posting as I watch this, though.
-
This was a very entertaining video. Maybe it wasn't ELITE PVP HURF BLURF 1080 NOSCOPE enough for you, as evident by this post where you brag about how good you are at this game.. but I don't see you posting any entertaining videos. I just see shit-talking of someone creating content. Please make a video and post it if you can do better. We all enjoy DayZ PVP videos.

Update Rev. 0.36.115535 (Experimental branch)
wartzilla replied to Hicks_206 (DayZ)'s topic in News & Announcements
If you don't like what they're doing, gun them down. It's a sandbox game. -
I don't see the point in skipping Elektro in order to increase the likelihood of surviving. You just spawned. Why would you care if you died on your first waypoint? Loot both fire stations, the school, the supermarket, the train station.
-
That's not only fucking dumb, but immersion-breaking.
-
I've met more geared people looking for action than fresh spawns in Elektro. As for the north I have yet to even see anyone beyond meeting a group once in the Vybor area military base.
-
Military bases suck for this. Your best bet is Elektro, without equal. At least as far as I know, I have never seen as much or more traffic than there is in Elektro.
-
Finally. Did they decrease the spawn rate of the MP handguard or something? The only problem is that it is 'badly damaged'.. which, although it has no practical value yet, is playing with my OCD. Everything on my M4 is pristine, including the RIS I replaced and the weaponlight I callously ditched to get this setup.
-
As a perennial (ab)user of NVGs in the mod, I do not think they should make a return.

What Are Your Favourite Weapons And Why? (Multiple Choice)
wartzilla replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
After the ballistics update I've fallen in love with the FNX. It's really a nice and useful sidearm now. I've ditched the magnum on my character for one. The M4 is still my preferred rifle, simply because I can carry ammo more efficiently (bigger stacks, bigger magazines), and because it's ridiculously accurate when you get all the attachments for it. The SKS has a nice noise but I find its accuracy a letdown. The melee weapons need a lot of work, because aside from the two axes, every other melee weapon is worthless, useless garbage. -
Hotfix changelog: Stable Branch: 0.35.115188
wartzilla replied to mattlightfoot's topic in News & Announcements
You are right, some servers are merely 'third person disabled' rather than connected to the hardcore hive. Annoying bug, but at least it doesn't do any harm to either character you have. -
It is a survival sim, it just sounds like you're really shitty at surviving.

I made the great decision of eating some rotten fruit so I could respawn and die, since I had broken my legs. One minute later, I found morphine. :cripes: To cure my food poisoning I went to a pump and got over-stuffed, then vomited as you do. Not only did the 'sick' message disappear, but the symptom popups disappeared too. I thought I was safe. Instead, I kept losing blood, and now I get red 'I feel faint' messages despite being energized and hydrated. Does anyone know what i need to do to fix this?

Is there anything being planned that incentivizes not shooting on sight?
wartzilla replied to alleycat's topic in General Discussion
All the worst DayZ feature ideas in one thread! Very effective.
