I think it's on the 24th around 6:00pm PST but that could be wrong

cool fetish. must try

Internet kids are always overhyping the .50 cal weapons. IRL it depends how you get hit, and whether the bullet can spread it's force. If you get hit in the hand, it's not going to blow your hand off--it will most likely go straight through and leave the rest of your arm intact. Torso shots will generally leave you in pretty critical condition, but with arms/legs it really just depends where and how the bullet hits.

rocket has stated pretty clearly before that alt-f4 out of combat is not supposed to be part of the game. you could make the same argument for scripting and duping--"the game lets you do it, don't tell me what to do," etc. etc. bullshit edit: lol I was trolled

I'm up for it but if you drink my dew I will shoot you in the leg and rape you and bandage you then rape you again in the south street seaport every day at mid day when the sun is highest in the sky.

Do people even realize the definition of game? 1. an amusement or pastime 3. a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators. Of course DayZ is a fucking game. Yes, it's a mod. No, it's not finished. Assuming you're using the mod to have fun and not to train in a military simulator, then yes, you are playing a game. There have been plenty of unforgiving games in the past (NetHack anyone? about 100x difficult as this) that still called themselves games. We need to give this whole "anti-game" bullshit a rest.

if it really is an alpha, then what's the problem with wiping? in most betas, periodic character/server wipes happen ALL the time.

Hey guys, we all like the SAME TV SHOW? LETS ORGANIZE TOGETHER! AREN'T WE SPECIAL AND UNIQUE? WE'RE NOT PERVERTED BY THE WARPED SENSE OF "MASCULINITY" or "MATURITY" that OPPRESSES our CULTURE <3<3<3

why do people find the need to define themselves by a tv show they watch? I'm sure there a just as many people on here who watch Breaking Bad / The Walking Dead / some other tv show, yet you don't see them shoving it in everyone's faces.

I think he meant "at" someone who's sprinting, not while sprinting himself. Really great post. Rocket mentioned something recently about adding weapon maintenance/degradation. I hope they make sniper ballistics more realistic as well. Not just for the realism, it would make the gameplay a lot more fun as well.

so in lots of youtube videos I see people using group channel. Are they just doing it wrong, or does that work too?

I really like this idea. Would be cool to have a "bandit slayer" skin. Basically you have to be positive humanity, and have 3+ bandit kills, or something along those lines.

batman wouldn't kill bandits. But he sure as fuck would shoot them in the leg

the OP had some interesting ideas but kind of rambles on for a while. two things to keep in mind: 1. the game DOES NOT have to be friendly to new players and follow the "standard" difficulty curve that most games use. 2. most of the "difficulty" now is due to ARMA 2 engine zombie pathing. when standalone comes it should solve most of the quirks about aggro that you learn over time. also you mention spawn camping a lot, but it doesn't really happen too much unless you run directly into large cities. 95% of the time if you just run north, you'll be fine. And even those times when you do die, who cares? You're a new spawn, you don't have any good gear yet, just start over and try again.

ran into these guys randomly a few weeks back when I was new and still learning the game. what happened to them>
