Fraggle (DayZ)

Did you just get shot by any chance?

Nice one, I've yet to find a chopper but tonight is the night!

Yup, I loved it. I quite like the M14 aim too as a kind of intermediate sniper rifle. The only thing I didn't like with the M16 is that the ACOG sight is fixed at 4x view which is great for longer range encounters but can be really restrictive when your dealing with anyone closer than 150m or so. It's a good accurate gun though and ammo is easy to find.

Cool. I would just ignore the whiners. Some people seem to make a hobby out of thinking they're entitled to something when it's free.

Agreed. I did try your server a couple of times with some friends (119) but there was game breaking lag on it every time. Not sure what the issue was, I've not had it on any other server.

Any luck finding a vehicle yet? P.S - I'm loving your new sniper baiting technique.

I kind of agree. The reason 3rd person was included at all originally with Arma was because the developers realised that with 1st person view you actually lose a lot of your peripheral vision that you would have in reality. With 1st person, sometimes you can get tunnel vision and have to move your head around a lot more than you would in reality. 3rd person was one of their ways of compensating for that. I agree that it ruins some of fun when you can just use it too look around corners and so on without having to poke your face around them. It's a tricky balance to get right. I wouldn't complain if every server forced players to have to use 1st person completely. I've seen vids where some people play the whole game in 3rd person, using the magic crosshairs to aim. It's not a way of playing i would enjoy.

Yeh, it's pretty feeble but it looks cool and it has a torch attachment that can be handy for clearing buildings in the dark. Just make sure you aim for the head.

This whole post smells fishy. I think I'll stick with the announcements from this site.

Nope, and let's face it, your character will be dead several times over by then. I love your optimism though.

Lol, lets hug it out.

Yes, that was caused by a crashed huey, it's a bug that can also be caused by other crashed vehicles, like my UAZ. Again, a crashed heli is not actually supposed to set the whole horizon on fire. IT'S A BUG!.

Yes, were talking about the bug though. A normal Heli crash is not supposed to act like that.

That's the bug i mentioned then, it's not supposed to set the whole horizon on fire, it can happen with other vehicles too. With a heli crash you can always hear very clear secondary explosions for a while afterwards.

A huey crashing doesn't set a whole city or horizon on fire unless it sets off the bug I've already mentioned. Also, you'll hear the heli first if its a huey crash. This happened to me when I crashed our UAZ.

Agreed, there are hacks that'll do something similar. It's just some people see the bug and instantly assume it's a hack. It's probably safer to assume it's a hack and change servers for a bit.

Your only a bandit if you actively search for other players to kill/loot. I would say your not, sometimes you just have to take the first shot if you don't have time to take cover or communicate.

It's a bug that stems from a crashed vehicle.

Lol, my mate did the same thing on our tent yesterday. It took me about 10 mins to stop laughing. I love the glass legs mechanic. Am I the only guy that's going to miss the bugs whenever they sort them out?

I don't really think I'm the naive one here. Read my first post really carefully again, it might sink in at some point. You seem unable to grasp the basic concept of what it is you've been playing. When you purchased Arma CO, you bought 2 full games plus the Lite versions of various expansions. This also enabled you to play hundreds of other mods other than Day Z. The fact that you were only interested in DayZ is entirely up to you. I have enjoyed many hours playing Arma and am now getting many hours of enjoyment from playing DayZ. I will happily pay for DayZ when it is released as a full game in it's own right. Again, the fact that you bought Arma purely to play DayZ is entirely up to you. It was never advertised as a finished game and it was made extremely clear that it was a mod in alpha testing that would be released as a stndalone game eventually. Your sense of entitlement defies logic. The fact that you refuse to see the facts in the face of numerous posts spelling it out for you borders on insanity. Or trolling.

It was taken out because lazy bastards abusing it was causing lag on all of the servers. The same people who were complaining about lag are now complaining that they actually have to walk somewhere instead of magically teleporting.

I've just performed two successful trades without any issues so I beg to differ.

Cheers for the heads up. Let's all hunt down and kill this backstabbing twat. If I see him wanting to trade with me, I promise I'll stick a bullet in him for you. By the way, if you want to trade in the future, give me a shout, I've got a better track record than Swifty.

It's because they've had to adapt an engine heavily that wasn't designed for those actions. I doubt they'll bother doing anything about it and will instead concentrate their efforts on the standalone game, which by the way was officially announced today.

It might let you warm the engine up for a minute or two.
