Mastiff (DayZ)

I can't say I'm not disappointed that you've taken this off Reddit but I do have to question why you decided to degrade my lovely guide to penis disguises to potato standard. Here is the original link in better quality

I think you have two choices... Remove the Scope Or Allowing other guns to use a thermal scope attachment.

Hopefully not, I've got 3 courseworks to hand in for the 7th and then I'm done for this semester... make everyone else wait for me!

I just jam the handle of a teaspoon in between the number 2 and w button... and being British I like to stir my tea with a spoon.

Play a bit of "friendly friendly" to see how valued a hero is in the game, if they're highly valued I will play towards that direction if banditry is the name of the game then I guess I'm going that way.

I dreamt about disease being in the game, I subsequently shit the bed.

I bought Arma 2 pretty much when it came out, though I didn't enjoy it. DayZ gave it a life line for me.

:huh: That was the point of the question... what stops us doing that, same when we break our legs as newly spawns.

Sounds like a cool idea but.... ...What stops me from finding a place to store my gear, killing myself and then just going back to pick up my stuff disease free? Does the disease carry onto my new character, if so that destroys the whole survivor issue and I might as well have squad spawns and XP bars. Or perhaps when my character coughs and shits he doesn't clean his hands and all the cooked food I have gives the disease to anyone who loots and eats the food I had... if that second part is the case then this game has suddenly got the ultimate troll tool.

spawned in Kamenka, it was pitch black and as a new player I had no idea what to do, I ended up running west following the railway line and it suddenly stopped... I kept going into what was just barren land (debug plains), I thought well that was fun and pressed respawn. Then I spawned at Otmel, my friend was near by and we tried to meet up we ended up chaining some zombies and it appeared to be impossible to stop them, considering to a new player that only 1/10 of the buildings can be entered, we ended up running from Otmel through Elektro to Cherno before we gave up and let them eat us.

It's a game, not real life... people need to stop making comparisons because they fall flat the moment you actually assess the situation, how the fuck is someone going to find an AS50/M103/M4 rifles in a farming community in real life? Perhaps a CZ550 or some form of shot gun at best. I haven't played this game for a while until recently, decided to give Panthera and Namalsk ago as Chenarus seems to attract the most hackers and the map is bland, Panthera is interesting but Namalsk is just a death match pure and simple, no one is ever friendly. The last 10 lives I've gone through have been me being shot on sight every time, armed, unarmed and half the time I wasn't even remotely closed and got taken down in a single bullet. This mod no longer is about survival it's purely a death match, I can only hope for the sake of the standalone it will evolve into something different, because as it currently stands its just a long winded Counter Strike game where you have to gather the weapons instead of buy them... they're even better than CS guns too. My most recent, frustrating death was that of what I can only assume was a 13 year old boy who was moaning over side chat about how he needed medical help, people were asking for him to be kicked for using microphone over it but I asked where he was an I would come and assist. I turn up in a vehicle (First mistake) he jumps into the bus and says thanks mate! I ask him if he needs the medical help then... "No I killed a cow and ate it all and found moprhine in one of the houses (Second mistake, not catching on to the fact he was blatantly lying). Next mistake, I ask him if he wants to group up as I was about to go to a barracks (big mistake as I find a gun for him to have). We begin looting the barracks and he tries over and over to get me to crouch down (I was getting suspicious) but the guy seemed to have a tremble in his voice as if he thought I was going to shoot him... We loot the barracks and I made the biggest mistake "I haven't had a GPS for ages, don't really need it when you learn the map"... he then insists he wants to put some ammo in my backpack and I knew there was something up, I turn to him and he was already laughing when he was spraying the rounds at me... So what happens? Whenever I play Panthera I exclusively shoot on site, Namalsk I've tried 8/9 lives trying to be friendly, not shot at single player yet every time I get raped by a single shot. So from now on I am only playing shoot on site, same with Lingor and Chernarus (with exception of within Cherno, if they look like newly spawns). I really hope this isn't how the standalone plays along, I've tried hard to be a "friendly" player but it is next to impossible with this community. Consider this a rage post because if this is how the standalone will be, it will be shit.

The difference from a potential 'real world' apocalypse is not everyone would be scripting AS50s in. 4 servers in a row today, I've spawned... moved about and then been killed by an AS50 within 5 minutes...

Have started playing again recently (Namalsk)... First thing that happened for me was that I went into a game found someone, had a gun to his face and was trying to say friendly... VOIP was broken but eventually we got talking through SideChannel and we teamed up as intended went around, first person we came across killed us both with an M107 and the best we had were winchesters. A few spawns later I went to a military camp (Object All) I think as I hadn't spawned far from it, ran up saw two dead bodies and a 3rd standing over him with a sniper rifle, he looked and me and I looked at him he looked down his sites I killed him whilst in 3rd person mode, he didn't actually have any ammo. I ran round trying to keep warm sat inside a barracks to warm up and saw someone running around with a ghillie suit, He ran right past the barracks so I tried to creep out and around so he wouldn't get me, what happened was I glitched onto a door... he turned saw me and aimed down his sights instantly so I shot back we killed each other. I said over SideChannel I didn't intend to kill him but I got stuck on the door and I saw him look at me with his gun raised... he said back "Lol, I intended to kill you so no worries". For me is seems that a lack of ability to communicate can contribute to murders but also take into account that some people purely play DayZ for the PvP aspect which is quite fun at times. Hopefully the standalone will have a better way to communicate with someone and probably prevent needless slaughter of new spawns. My methodology is if I have a gun and they don't I'm friendly, they can be friendly too... if I don't have a gun and they have one I either run away or find one to kill them, if we both have guns and I meet them I kill them first. The problem with this is... I only ever meet up with people as a newly spawn its almost impossible to trust anyone after the first 30 minutes of playing

Ultimate troll tool, shoot near an unarmed survivor every 30 seconds... ...if you have a rough idea someone is in a building, shoot at them every 25 seconds or so and it will reset their time... Mod 0 users will be so happy.

Erm, I remember briefly reading something about the VERTICAL lines, Horizontal goes across and the CZ goes Vertical. Anyway I remember reading that if the target is in a reasonable position i.e mostly facing you and full body showing, you can use the vertical lines to gauge the width of the target, all targets are humans (except zombies) and have the same dimensions. I did have a little chart I had scribbled down after playing on the test range but it was rather useless for long distance but medium range up to ~500m I had was quite successful. After a while you get the feel for what range you need to zero in on pretty quickly. I don't have the sheet anymore but it wouldn't be hard for you to go onto the firing range and calculate what you find.
