I saw my first crashed helicopter earlier today. I saw a couple guys looting it, so I asked if they would be nice and let me see it up close, as it was the first one I'd seen. They, very kindly, said "yes" and let me look around. They even dropped me some stuff to take, since all I had was an axe. Nice people are fun.

Execpt that, you know, he can come back and hack some more... Seriously. You people are just stupid to think someone who was globally banned isn't going to come back and not cause havok. I have done admin work before. If we were to ban someone, and they tried to come back with a different IP, we would just make sure they never come back. I bet you guys are the people who get stabbed in the back for trusting everyone you see, too.

I like melee weapons. I support more melee weapons. Maybe not this particular one, but I support them.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to call bullshit on this one. Yes, it would be a magnet for activity, but not more than, say, NWAF. Sure, that place may have players there a lot, they aren't there all the time, and it's usually just one dude with WAY too much time on his hands. You make it sounds like people will be coming at the place all the time with non-stop action. That doesn't happen in the game already, so why would it be any different here?

You seemed to miss my point. It wasn't that it shouldn't happen, but that it won't, because people aren't going to give their time to stand around doing nothing. Also, if you don't like having to crawl around to get loot and whatnot, DayZ is not for you.

This might be the noob in me talking, as I've only been playing for a couple of days now, but I've found that I love axes. They are stealthy, and I can move through a town, while silently taking out zombies in my way without detection. It sort of irks me that I have to drop my main weapon whenever I want to switch back to my axe, and it take forever to do it. So, I was wondering if it was even feasible to play the game with only an axe and a pistol/revolver. I think it would also make the game more difficult for myself, which would make it more fun. I don't like running around in a ghille suit with an M107(or whatever the best gun is supposed to be), shooting heads off of people. Again, maybe this is just me being a noob. I, also, think it would sort of add to the emersion of the game as a survivor. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Or maybe even some suggestions on how to do this right?

I have also found that you have much better "aim" with the axe if you stand up. In, prone, I can swing an axe at the zombies feet 20 times before it recognizes that I'm hitting it. Crouching, I usually hit the zombie, unless it running sideways around me, in which case, it usually misses, because I forget to lead the zombies. I haven't had much experience with using the axe while standing, since, if I'm standing, and there's a zombie on me, I'm usually running away.

The main problem with this player create safe-area-paradise-thing is that people don't want to spend hours of their day standing around at a gate, looking for zombies or bandits. At this point, it literally becomes a job. It'll be fun for about two hours or so, until the "guards" get tired of guarding, and the traders get tired of standing around doing nothing.

The most common way to regenerate blood is to eat food. This means things like beans/pasta/ect. You can also kill animals and cook their meat. However, this is a much more complicated process. Blood bags, which can be found in hopspitals, give you the most blood. However, you need another player to use the blood bag on you. Your best bet is to run around in the wild until you find a goat or something and eat it. You will need a box of matches, a pile of logs or a hatchet, and a knife to kill, gut, and cook an animal.

I had a pretty lucky experience finding animals in one of my earlier lives. I was leaving Cherno with a bag full of loot, and a gun full of ammo. I also only had like 4000 blood. I decided, because I was even more of a noob then than now, I would make my way towards Stary Sobor. On my way up there, I found enough meat to get me back to full blood, plus have 4 steaks in my inventory for later. Of course, I later died at the NWAF. Scouted that place for 20 minutes, only to have some hopper log in on top of my while I was looting the tower.

That was totally random, but also pretty damn funny.

I have a similar story. I run into a group of three guys. I asked them if I could join them, as they pretty much had me surrounded and I had no weapons. They agree to let me tag along for a bit. We are in a building, and they aggro a bunch of zombies. I have no weapon, but one of the guys goes down. I happen to have an Epipen on me, so I try to use it on him. As soon as he's back up, his friend axes me in the back. For no reason. There were even zombies still around, attacking them. But he chooses to kill me, after I just tried to help his buddy. What is wrong with some people?

You can always use the salute, as well.

Hehehe. I was actually thinking that, with a silent weapon like an axe, you could easily be an equipment runner for a group. Sneak into town, loot it up without any aggro, run away with a grin. Also, thank you for the tip. I will make sure to add this my list of ways to kill zombies with an axe.

Pretty much what Nicknero said. When I say "without being detected", I mean by other zombies and players. If you sneak up behind a zombie, it will detect you at around 3-4 meters away. You can swing just as it turn around at you and usually kill it without taking any damage. Although, I've noticed the hitboxes for melee weapons seems to be broken sometimes, but I think this is a known issue.

Just bumping this to see if anyone else has any thoughts.

I think it's an interesting concept, but it definitley needs to be worked on. Five minutes seems like a long time to knock a player out for. I can also see a lot of people just logging out before or right after they pass out.

:rolleyes: Okay. Whatever you say.

Yes, I'm sure it's very... "gay" to you. And things like this are what the game is about. Watching your back the whole time, and getting killed. If you don't like it, the door aint very far.

I think it sort of ruins the point of the game, but I also think that if there was one, people would camp outside the town and wait for you to leave, then kill you for your newly traded stuff.

If the guy was shooting at him, he knew the other guy was in the building and should have known to watch his back. His fault. It's not "abuse" anyway. It's getting the drop on someone.

You were banned. You trying to find a way to play anyway. I would say that is trying to get around a ban.

So, you're trying to get around a ban, and you're upset because it's not working out for you? What?

Damn. That's pretty good. Were those betrayals or did you just get the drop on them? Either way, nice.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you don't understand the point of the mod.
