you sure about that? my intuition tells me gps satellites don't need much maintenance or calibration, especially when it's so damn hard to send someone to space and that it runs on an atomic clock, ensuring precision. the better argument would be batteries.

I do believe this is caused by the fact that supermarket enttances are considered opaque, if you try shooting through the entrance you're going to hit invisible glass, and apparently entering a supermarket makes you pass through an invisible wall through which zombies cannot see. As noted in one of my tips, a similar thing happens when you run into a low pine tree, zombies will follow you inside the tree, but will stop and turn around, since they cannot see you through the leaves of the tree. I will add this on the tip.

shooting another player drops your humanity more than 250 per shot

I play as a scavenger, my whole purpose is to hoard valuable items to trade for later or to ensure my presence in the world, I tread on slippery moral ground as I normally loot cycle and kill people for their loot, or simply take it off from dead bodies. scenario 1: I'd just avoid him and if he gets killed by zombies, I'll check his body for valuables scenario 2: if I have a high caliber weapon and space in my inventory, I'd put a few rounds on his head and take all his stuff, but I'm more tempted to just heal him and avoid him completely. scenario 3: I'd kill him and add the vehicle to our clan collection of vehicles.

there have been many changes, I recommend you getting familiar with dayz commander and find servers from there. on a side note: there are still players enjoying the game, including me, you just need to not read the forums too much

I've refrained from posting very obvious glitch exploiting, although some of those I posted are borderline, but not game breaking. truth is, if I didn't refrain I would possibly have tenths of duping methods posted and a subsequent ban from the forums

wut... so you pick guns based on how other people think they are, not on how much you like them, and you would have second thoughts dropping an as50 for your favorite m14 aim? if I was faced with the choice as50 with 20 nato rounds or m4a1 holo with absolutely no rounds, found in the middle of the wilderness, 10000m from the closest military loot spawn, I'd take the holo and drop the as50 immediately heck, I'd take an m4a3 cco over an m4a1 cco just for the barrel grip looks even though they are essentially the same gun

there are no counterarguments to respond to, because this horse has been beaten to death, and the arguments you provide are not arguments, they are opinions, and opinions cannot be discussed, coupled with the fact nobody wants to discuss it, and you reacting negatively to those telling you this makes you look like an asshat to everybody around here

yet another thread in which OP responds to anyone disagreeing with him by calling them names... and thus there is no need to provide any counterargument

this is something I wonder too, Server restarts wipe the dropped and spawned items, but I'm unsure wether or not if no player is within 200m of a place, the items will despawn, similar to zombies

yep, they never tell you about this, and it's looked down on, borderline exploit

not entirely, I haven't checked the source code but apparently, and at least in older versions, radios can drop from soldier zombies, might be an urban legend.

you obsessed yourself about the bad of the game, I'm guessing an excessive reading of forums has this side effect, because most of the issues you listed I wouldn't even have them bother me, if it was not because I read a rant on the forums. In one week's time you went from playing the vanilla dayz to go to private hives looking for something I, with 3 months and almost 200 hours clocked on arma 2 exclusively on dayz am mot still looking for (heck, the only map I've played so far is chernarus) You seem to be nitpicky about the combat, fact is, it's based on arma 2's combat, and no, it's not always about camping, it's about camping in the right spot, it's the difference between mindlessly shooting on a flash ad (btw this remark you made is making me think you're a troll....) and forcing a flash add targets to line up for you to take them down as easily and effortlessly as possible

the m4a3 cco may be essentially the same as the m4a1 cco but for some reason it feels a lot better...

hit me up on PM for more info, I've got a very good offer EDIT: Damn didn't see the 2nd poster, nevermind then, contact him instead

strange, most forums i've been condone opening a new thread in case faced with the choice to necro or not. It was rather confusing when I started reading and it was not until I checked the date that I would've known OP won't respond to me.

necro... as of 1.7.2.6 most vehicles save their position when saved, there are a cpuple servers in which this doesn't happen, for aome reason

you didn't even respond to his point, in my eyes he's saying a single person can force the entire playerbase to play a style they are not willing to, if not, take historical note: reddit rescue force, 1 month ago, they set up a medical camp free of entrance on a server to treat injured people and help them with gear. One single dickhole pops in, shoots ONE SINGLE BULLET and everyone slaughtered each other until the entire camp was reduced to ruins and dust. the 20 people receiving help and helping each other on that server were forced to untrust everyone around and fight for their own survival, you could it was each individual's fault for not having faith on those who were in the camp, but it doesn't work like that, and you know it. You could also say they could have put more regulations to the entrance to the camp, removing all weapons on the patients and having a patrol or police force authority to keep order, hey, that sounds a lot like nowadays societies, just saying.

yeah... except it gives you 10% speed boost and 10% resistance to pistol bullets on the body, which means upon death you didn't lose every single fucking thinf on yourself, which is totally UNACCPETABLE AND INCONCEIVABLE in the universe of dayz

that's arguable but yeah, I see no reason not to use ot if ot's available to you. @OP atm the night time is unrealistically dark, just play on takistan and check out the street lights

oh really? thing is, nothing, absolutely nothing is stopping me from ghosting, loot cycling, using thermal scopes, hoarding loot, the only thing are players rabbling and rabbling about what is right on this game based off on their own opinions. my post was merely an hyperbollic satire, say Rocket actually despises these kinds of activities such as loot cycling (the topic at hand), I would not hesitate to stop doing it, just like I have never taken a hacked weapon, since I know for a fact that is not condoned. But people like you saying things like "you are despicable for doing this" "you should feel bad for doing this" with no idea on what the official stance is, are a cancer to most games out there. oh and btw, just because the devs provided this game to us doesn't mean we can't demand a minumum amount of polish and work, as of this moment now I've spent 48 hours writing an assignment that I have no intention of handing to my teacher, instead of saying "yeah it's a preliminary version (read: alpha)" and giving it to him, I will work for another 48 hours to polish it, word it better and eventually have an up to standards assignment with which I expext to get a high mark with.

this post is full of assumptions about me and indirect personal attacks. moreso, I'm one of these who think hacking is actually acceptable in this game. you see, 90% of the times I lose loot is not because of hackers, but because of bugs, glitches, server unstability, which often follows with a death of my character. The game is so shitty at its current state, the fun I get out of it is to learn hidden mechanics, try out new playstyles, and sometimes I couldn't care less if I exploit some mechanics for my benefit, in my eyes, the game owes it to me by wiping clean my inventory upon logging, glitching my tents, glitching my bags and making them disappear when I drop them, letting zombies hit me through walls. and you know what's best: devs do not deserve to have a saying on hacking or on exploiting, the lousy and impresentable state of their game do not give them the right to set rules for their players, especially when nobody here has complained, complains or will complain so as long as they have the "alpha" counterargument

exactly, it's an unruled society, and that should translate even with matters outside of the game, and everyone telling anyone else what is right and what is wrong is simply a scrub who needs to put rules on a game without rules (nr 20 much?)
