What was your last legit kill
alcatraz968 replied to Julia_Shafer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Was in eletro sniping (was bored). Heard gun fire in the forest, and try to track it. Then hear it in the power plant. By then i heard atleast two guys, one with An 74 and one with handgun. Get to sniper nest, and out in the open field is the two morons. (Near power plant). Take aim with my M107 and shot. The guy moves at last second and lives. Take aim,and my second shot drops him. He's dead. Second guy weaving, i pop 2 shots and miss. Third shot is sent at him, but hits a smoke stack. D**. Friends coming in from the west scout the area and report he DC. Well atleast his friend died, and he wet himself. -

Can someone explain the point of ALT-F4
alcatraz968 replied to Rising (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Trying not to Alt F4 if im under direct fire. But if some one did that to me, or server hopped behind me. I be D** if i don't. You do it to me, and it's fair game. (Also, if you can't Alt F4, you can end the process which take a little more time, but will close out instantly. No matter what the dev's do.) -
Im far beyond target practicing, im just having fun.And my trusty M107 insures that i don't have to hit you twice :) And from what i have seen, the sniper war has calmed some senses Open range (Steam summer sale) last week.

There's no "End Game" as of right now, and as players get better and better, the end game currently is shooting other players.

Watching a Helicopter Crash
alcatraz968 replied to Foogals (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Wish i saw a heli ( they can meet my m107). But have never seen one to date (In dayz). -
All (8) of our vehicles gone. How?
alcatraz968 replied to headbasha's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I feel your pain bro. Had more then one (Secure) camp compermised, even tho they were well hidden. I think hackers might be the cause. -
Never get close enough for that to be of us. If you have a gun, you can possible kill me. Therefor, i want your beans.

Why do you shoot on sight? (TL;DR)

Funniest Moments On DayZ, GO!
alcatraz968 replied to tysonbishop's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
At northwest airfield, watch a friend find a tractor. He drives around like he has a death wish. Runs over my Allie (Who did not have a death wish). Long run, the guy in the tractor, me, and one other person made it out. there were 6 of us in a server with 10 people. only one team kill. -
The threats in this game no longer exist.
alcatraz968 replied to Snort (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think them just fixing the Zeds so they actually see you is fine. Fully loaded, i have more then onces died to the Zombies (usually them spawning in mobs and running me over). -
The Difference Between A Good Bandit and a Bad Bandit
alcatraz968 replied to alienxxi's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
A good bandit shots on site. A bad bandit will talk to you. Whys he bad? Because this one is dead. -
Motivation for being a bandit?
alcatraz968 replied to DergSterg's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
End game = You look like good target practices there. Before end game = ! player, whats he have. Wait he still moving, lets fix that. Being watched/ Unknown fire = !!!!! where is it, where is it? should we leave/ disconnected / Shot back (I play with friends almost always) -
So, do people play this game or are there only NPC's?
alcatraz968 replied to Sakeoe (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I almost always die at northwest airfield. Just have to get unlucky. -
For the last two days, spawning on the coast seems to be a death wish. 50 player servers and i think 10 are actually north. Going through elektro just last night, i heard all within a few minutes, 6 separate gun go off. Out in the open, you will lose your head. There's DMRs, AS50s, CZs, going off like crazy. Seems there's some hidden sniper agreement. I don't know if its a new influx of players, but there's many new players down at the beach. Its turned into trolling and target practices on the new players.

Hotfix Build 1.7.2.3 Rolling Update
alcatraz968 replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Love the update. Seems to fixed all the problems in 1.7.2 Few things... *Loading screen Error still happens and often. *The newest Beta build for Arma 2 OP don't work, had to downgrade. *Zeds spawns when Aggro are to close to the player, Often times on top of them. (Simple fix, zeds can't spawn in a 360 line of site around a player). *Servers Red Chain often. *Animal spawn decreased *(Unconfirmed) A friend glitched through the map and almost died. *Scroll wheel alittle bugged, or delayed. Friend could not give me Epi pen. Had to wait a minute to take meat from pig. Some things i like... *Zed AI seems improved. They are smarter and will flank, and climb ladders more often. *Loot seems more balanced for where you find it. Hunting stands have guns, factory's have car parts, and idk about markets. *No graphics problems. 60 Frames solid usually with uncommon drops by 10 or so FPS. Usually when zooming out or using a sniper. *Desync problem is gone for the most part. -
Arma 2 Free + Operation Arrowhead on steam works?
alcatraz968 replied to naka122's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have that, and it works so far. Can use the latest beta tho. Stuck wait for host. -
Hotfix Build 1.7.2.3 Rolling Update
alcatraz968 replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Stuck at "Waiting for Host". Any fixes. I have the latest patchs. -
There was a glitch for that and it was taken out. Its a BAD idea. Simple reason, a player can completely stack them self and join multiplayer. The Servers remember what you have, so you cant mix single player and multiplayer. Also it would stress the servers to much.

Rocket said in another post that he would be removing the soda names. As for camo effecting Zombie view distances (of you), Great Idea. Amazed it has not been implemented.

You lucky Ba*****. You actually rid through Cherno and lived. I find this story hard to believe.

Could You Pull The Trigger?
alcatraz968 replied to Crazysteve6547's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
In game, generally shot on site is the only way to live. If your not on teamspeak, and your as far north as i, then i know your armed. Generally im shot first and if they miss (usually don't) then they are going to have to pry the gun from my cold dead hands. To many players have shot me... -
This Idea is also posted on the Facebook page under the "What do you want to see added to DayZ?" ***************************************************** Add Salt to the game to lengthen how long cooked meat last (when combined). And also if salted, 1000 blood or more then regular amount form cooked meat.Salted meat can still rot, but only after days, compared to cook meat. Basically, make food a common sources, but always in need. For canned food, make it a less common spawn, so you need to hunt. That would mean a increase in animal spawn. For Drinking, sources of water can have a chances of being contaminated, poisoning your water. To insure water is safe, you can add a purifying tablet to it. This is a new item, and is common spawn. For soda, it like canned food and is less common of a spawn. Eating Cooked meat that has started to rotten or drinking bad water has a chances to makes you sick. As such, Antibiotics are more common. Canned food is always safe. **************************************************** This System is for what the game is based on, Survival. Its only a idea, and can be changed or not used. I would like to know what other people ideas are on it. Any good alterations, or if it should not be used (And if so, why). I do not want to hear complaining, as this is towards how the game is based on survival, Not Balances. *Enjoy*

Hatchets as a secondary weapon (pistol slot)
alcatraz968 replied to Ozast's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Although a custom slot for it would be nice, it will take alot of custom coding. As such, your idea is the second best. Hope it happens :)
