Welcome to 2 years ago.

With item persistence working as intended, no, it should not. This however is still an alpha, so there's a chance it might.

Pathetic and immature ad hominem attacks aside; scared? Hardly. Why would I be scared of someone when they're half a kilometer away from me? I snipe at bambis when I'm bored. I snipe at decked out people when I'm bored. I also go into town with a Mosin and just swap out my LRS for a PU scope to deal with people at closer range. I fear neither you nor anyone else in this game because it's A) a game, and B) most people in it are really bad. I'm assuming you're not excellent either if you get killed by beach campers often enough to make this post.

The great irony of this entire thread, which I hope is not lost on you, is that your avatar is a picture through a rifle scope. As far snipers and your complaining about them? I use my victims' tears to oil my mosin. Keep crying buddy, a well lubed gun is important to me.

A what? As for me? I found a pristine can opener once. Only one I've ever even seen. Lost it a few hours later due to a well placed bullet from a sniper outside of Krasno.

well i did this but it didn't help my problem. well i was changing my resolution and when i did change it my screen went black and now when ever i going in to dayz SA i can hear the game just i don't see the picture please help i need massive help thanks. Did you try to change these values while your game was running? That could have caused some issues. Make sure your game is closed and exited out of properly before you start toying around in your .cfg file.

I wear boonies exclusively unless I'm actively engaging in an assault. Seeing as how I'm a sniper most of the time though, I don't bother with carrying a Tac helmet, and will just borrow one from a group mate if I'm gonna be in the thick of it.

I've got some hairs over here that need splitting.

So basically what you're saying is that you don't understand how games/programs get developed, and you expected this to be a finished product when you bought it? Sound about right?

I killed my buddy with a point blank shot with a mosin directly through his ballistic helmet. (We were doing a bunch of testing)

This I for the most part agree with, however I must point out that for the majority of the survivors, it would be safe to assume that they're Chernarussians, and would have an idea of the lay of the land from the outset, something new players don't. It also speeds up the learning process by using a map, because you associate this valley with this part of the map, this intersection, etc.

No one is actually hurt by what they do, unless we're going to concern ourselves with any special little snowflake tumblrinas, for whom getting killed in an apocalyptic video game might trigger their self diagnosed PTSD and send them full tilt into a panic attack.

The devs don't have a whole game in 1 game mode yet, and you want them to implement two different game modes right now? I play both first and third person, and I would MUCH rather the devs keep the perspective the only thing changed between the two modes until they get a working game in regular, then ramp up the difficulty for Hardcore. Don't start making adjustments until you know where your balance point is. It's like trying to zero a scope for a sniper rifle by fitting it on a machine gun and firing at full auto.

What this guy said. I don't now if painkillers work or not, but they used to as well.

Hit detection for melee is off right now. As for being chased by zombies? Too damn bad. Zombies weren't even worth a second's consideration prior to this last update; now they'll bite your head off if you fart wrong. I love the new zombies (minus the hit detection). I take it you didn't play the mod, eh?

That's what I get for trusting DayZDB to get it right I suppose.

This is what I want as well. The devs have already expanded the map to the north pretty substantially, so I'd hope they'd continue that expansion to the West as well. Allow there to be some unspoiled wilderness and add some new, unique towns. Old DayZ mod map superimposed on the standalone Map to demonstrate my point.

This was entertaining.

To be fair, there's a lot more that someone needs to be a proper medic, including charcoal tabs, epi pens, morphine, splint making materials, blood/saline bags, etc. We typically have 1 guy in our clan who usually keeps most of the medical supplies with him when we attack a town and stays out of the way until it's been cleared.

Yea, no shit, free medical supplies for me and all my clan mates.

Yea, for bolt actions and whatnot it makes sense, but I can't see it making much sense for an Assault rifle. When you look at the economy of motion with an AR-15 style weapon (magazine release button where your trigger finger would be when off the trigger, bolt closing button on the left side of the rifle, near where you'll be reloading your magazine, everything in a straight line from muzzle to buttstock to reduce vertical recoil, etc.) I just look at the AK and think, man, could have been so much better. That said, if you like it, by all means use it. I just won't if I have the option.

I kill on sight. You're welcome.

I hate the look of AK style weapons. That and their ergonomics and general design don't make any sense to me. And who puts the charging handle (which you have to manually operate when you change magazines) on the right side of a weapon, when 90% of the population is right handed, and will have to either reach over the barrel to work it, or turn the gun.

Personally I'd like for them to get rid of every AK style weapon. I personally hate the way they look.

It would maybe be cool, but it would depend a lot on how the AI would be worked out, like other posters have said. Realistically though, no one would be taming dogs, as most of the dogs left over in Chernarus would be family pets that were already tame or mostly tame to begin with, we're not domesticating foxes or wolves here.
