Sorry to burst your bubble, but most 'clans' are made up of males. What's the problem with me wanting to set up a clan of ladies? I'm open to more than just ladies wanting to join my clan, but unfortunately us 'ladies' are catorgorised into the noob section (unwarrented and therefore why do folks give a shit) Ergo, ladies, hook me up! Men who don't need o flash ther Ak's to gain attention, hook me up too :) any trolls will just get laughed at

Yay, troll!

I'm friendly, but uber paranoid. you give me confirmation in direct that I might trust you, I might. However I've been shot in the face by friendlies proclaiming to be friendly too many times to expect anything less than an icy reception!

Tis just a test because I dont normally speak on direct chat. But tonight, I will and I will see if anything changes from playing a mute silo.

Tasty bukkake

It's been implicitly mentioned that wearing any kind of guille suit/camo will screw up in 1.7.2. A hotfix has not been updated yet. Best bet? Grab it, but don't wear it until future fixes resolve this issue

This, this and this. You sir, summed it up in less words than this mortal soul could.

I think this thread just earned itself a lock by the two prev comments. I don't even.

This thread hasn't breached the border between serious and joke to you I feel. Tis a joke thread. Dont feed the trolls by being all serious about it lol.

Actually, piss is antibacterial and sterile, therefore a far superior choice to wells or ponds. Piss FTW!

Loose guys, not lose. Sorry, my hitler is showing Peace to all

It's good to know that all the dayz farmvilling will end up meaning nothing once the nuke hits :P

A quick search on google will give you some screen shots of zombies from DayZ. Or download some of the multiple youtube vids that are up and running and do a frame by frame. Just to start you off like.

Mmmm I'm divided on this one. I kinda like the fact I have my own backstory in mind to account for the predicament of Chernarus. My made up backstory is that human kind either created the infection deliberately as a WMD that was utilmately uncontrollable by those who created it, or that it was a natural disease caused by our 'sterile' society being unable to cope with a simple, mutated version of the common cold. Remember, it's not a zombie apocalyspe, but an infected one. However, I love the idea of diaries, graffiti etc. I think this would be amazing if implemented correctly. If these little tidbits of information are more confusing than they are exposition, allowing the player to create their own backstory, I think we could be on for a winner.

About 15 players (at least, maybe more depending on how much chat info holds) on a server get killed simultaneously? Is this admin abuse? Is there a valid reason for a whole load of people to be killed at once beacuse I've never seen this before. I wrote down the server name so can report it easily if this is abuse, but was a bit shocked and didn't hit the print screen button in time before disconnecting in disgust.

Thanks, I didn't think admins could do this. I knew they could boot people (has happened to me lol) but as for a sh£t tonne of us dying at once, I really wasn't sure what happened.

I actually find axes better to use without going into ironsights. I totally f'ed up several times trying to ironsight my axe ha

Exit out of Sixlauncher completely, reboot, verify and wait for the ping list to update. Then try a new server (1.7.2 white server, not ghosted grey as this will not work once you've updated). Try a server with a lot of players already and be patient. Soetimes it takes a few minutes of loading screen before you boot into the game. Hope this helps :)

No idea. It's common in FPS to be able to alter your smoothing but I personally agree. I don't find it realistic mostly because... IRL, if you try to aim at something, you WILL oversteer (unless you are proficient with guns IRL, which I believe most of us aren't) and have to correct yourself. I think smoothing is an attempt to recreate that realism but in all honesty, it's not sharp enough to compensate for actual hand-to-eye co-ordination very well.

The higher the smoothing the more of a delayed, laggy feel aiming will be - a bit like your aim is on a rubber band or is moving through thick syrup. Turning it off completely will give your aim a sharp and accurate feel. Instead of your aim over-steering and keeping on going, your aim will stop at exactly the same time you do. Test it in game, go into ironsights and swing your aim about. You'll notice the difference in high/low smoothing immediately!

Coupled with the fact that sometimes if you drop an item outside of a pre-generated spawn location it will sometimes disappear :( Is it wrong for me to feel a bit of gutted disappointed when I have to pop my trusty axe back into it's toolbelt when I find a sub machine gun? Sadface.jpg

Toolboxes do spawn quite a bit I've found. Try searching in the little industrial outhouse-looking sheds rather than the big industrial buildings and you'll likely fnd them there.

I actually find that losing zombles is much better now that LOS has been implented. You should have tried playing before that update when a zombie would chase you across the entire map without letting up...now THAT was just annoying, not challenging. Which is why LOS was introduced. Now that LOS is in place, it's all about learning your surroundings, learning how to lose them quickly and without getting killed by them or other players in the process. Sorry to say it, but 9 hours is not really enough time to put into this game before anyone can comment on changing it. You've probably only travelled 10-15% of the map, haven't really learned much in the way of the world, how to utilize your surroundings and LOS to your advantage etc. Have you played a mix of day/night servers to find out the differences? Have an accurate mental map of your favourite city for you to use to your advantage? Tested zomble LOS on both to see how you can best avoid detection within their visual/hearing parametres? In one play of 9 hours, I hadn't even found a hatchet. Severe lack of coke (couldn't find any anywhere, and didn't want to risk aggro'ing zombles with my Lee Enfield to try and scavange one) and I ended up dying of thirst. Thirst lol! Hey, I was new and lacked lady balls at the time XD. But on another play through, I'd managed to aquire a M1911, AK74, morphine, hatchet, matches, knife etc - everything I needed to survive - within an hour. Same with direct communication with players - some servers you don't talk/other's dont talk to you at all. On others, teaming in up with random strangers has been a fantastic experience. Same with Pk'ing. I've been murdered; I've murdered. Depends on the situation which will ALWAYS be different, each and every time you play. Same as looting. What weapons you find. Whether you're inundated with coke or can't find a single drop before you lose consciousness to thirst. I could go on and on, but I wont! TL;DR - give the game multiple plays, deaths, and days spent alive, not just 9 hours.

Try turning mouse smoothing all the way down to zero in the menu. I was beginning to hate using guns until I figured that out XD

I found a beartrap on a 1.7.2 server yesterday, so I can confirm they do exist, but didn't pick it up I'm afraid :( I'm pretty sure I found it in one of those small industrial outhouse-style buildings you find everywhere in town but I can't be 100% on that.
