Yea we don the UN Helmets anytime we need to disarm the public in Elektro. That way when the bandits show up they have no way to defend themselves against said bandits. Oh, and of course right when the bandits arrive we leave with haste. Jokes, aside I hope the bandits are dumb enough to wear them cause it makes head shots so much easier. I'm the hero that waits in a 4th floor of a building then lines the shot up threw a second building to my front aiming threw a window that opens to a door to another window. Ain't nobody got time to arrest you when your running around like its COD or BF4..

I'll make sure not to pick up that peace of crap and wait for throwing to be added so I can just as effectively kill someone with it and not waste my time or life trying to reload that POS...

My Asus G75V gets 50+ FPS... Rome 2 it gets 45 FPS with darn near max settings and unit size... Arma 3 is 50 FPS... Its more like a desktop replacement. I run A3 and Dayz at the max settings. Expect for the PP and Radial Blur and crud. Down side it starts around $1700. Worth every penny..

One handed bladed weapons ( Knives ), Too weak?
rybo replied to preacherlr's topic in General Discussion
First off the bayonet can't be used on a weapon at the moment. It can be attached but that's it. Sadly all looks. It can only be used as a hand-held for some awful looking thrust/swing things. Your opening statement would apply if it was affixed to a rifle. If you looked at a bayonet the sucker is like 3" wide. The dagger only being 1" is much easier I'd assume. Also the serrations on the combat knife help along with I'd guess at least 4" longer blade. Last but not least don't forget the bayonet is a one sided blade while the combat knife is duel sided. Most (combat/dagger) blades are around 9". We just had a mass stabbing here in the States. The blade wasn't much better than the bayonet in game. He stabbed 20 people and not one died. Just because it has a blade doesn't mean it's the right knife for the job. I really, really like the idea of different stances though. Should pass that up the line. -

Combat knife= 1 thrust to head to kill man or Zed Bayonet= 2 swing to head to kill a man or Zed If I can't pack my fire axe in my pack I just replace it with either of the two above. You need to do more testing and aim for the face. They work fine. Otherwise it's about 5-10 stabs to the body. Each one causes bleeding. They normally just bleed out first. So your goal is to find a "combat knife" they look like daggers. I've probably killed as many zeds with my combat knife as I have with an axe of any type. Hell even with my bare fists. Just face punch (knock down) beat/repeat.. P.S. Just don't like the axe on my back -
LOL, a pair of late Russian era bino's and they have a 20x zoom even though for the size at best they could be a 8x for its era.. Might as well turn the LRS up to 40x now. Fail... Overall though I'm very excited for bino's!!!!

Fire stations and other buildings spawn them. Fire stations always have at least 2-3 batteries...

I'm at work and don't have time to double check comments but you got too do this if you want better lighting. -Use Together- Head Torch: Goes on head. Flashlight: Hands Same goes for a pistol or rifle light. The Head torch is your primary lighting source. Moves with your head. The hand held flashlight is stationary and is a frontal illumination. Use them together. It's not a fix but sure as hell helps allot. Don't forget you can make a lantern and before they turned night off the thing would light up a city block. Wonder how it's doing now? My biggest problem with night is the Gamma/Brightness exploiters. Even after they hot fixed it me and my group were killed more than once by that invisible KOS'r. We got jumped in a prison one time and literally couldn't see 1' in front of us. Well of course some Jerk off comes rolling in and starts shooting. We turn all the our lights off and jump into corners. I was the last in line. He walked through and head shot us one by one. Right before he got me I figured it out. It was just after the recent Gamma/Brightness fix and I though no way in hell could he see us. Knowing that he had to be exploiting and or using hacks I myself quickly jacked my Gamma/Brightness up. Well guess what it was enough to see about 3-4'. I called him a Gamma/Brightness exploiting expletives then told him to finished the damn job cause I wasn't stooping to his low. Well he did and laughed about it. That was the last time we did night and it was about a week before they removed night completely.

Best sniping sports Dayz SA? Most populated town?
rybo replied to ioanmatei6200's topic in General Discussion
Personally I stick to bushes and keyhole shots. You shoot threw a loop hole. It's really the only sure fire way to not be spotted. Thank me later..... The best spot is the least obvious -
Poll: Are you happy with update news/management?
rybo replied to Ugly (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
ugh, nice work around. My point is we want it on one site not across the board. The tip toe around the answer says enough. Now that every knows yall have no influence in the matter we can give up and keep letting all information be hacked into peaces.. Very constructive... -
Looking back, Do you think that EA release was a good idea?
rybo replied to c00lface's topic in General Discussion
Lulz..Sad to see people with 1500 post not reading the OP's comment. Yes and no for me. We have a say when something is implemented terribly and then again we don't.. Certianly a toss up but I now me and many of my friends will be burnt out or close to by release. Most of us are not playing atm to offset the issue. -
Poll: Are you happy with update news/management?
rybo replied to Ugly (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Wrong..Only relevant patch information is provided. Why do I have to go to Twitter to find out they are working on an AK? We want all information at least copy and pasted in one place. ugh. We have gotten to used to having to search two hand fulls of websites to obtain basic information. Not sure if I could facepalm any harder atm... -
Poll: Are you happy with update news/management?
rybo replied to Ugly (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Not at all and flat out rude. You can agree to disagree but the fact that we have to sign up to multiple forums is ridiculous beyond words. All information is one place. I have no idea how it could be so hard to understand.... One would think with all the post popping up about whats going on? That one of you would get it. Clearly not. -

rybo replied to Ugly (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
They can post where ever they like. It's not my product. But I have worked for some crappy corporations and they can at least manage information distribution. One site for all info. The rest on social media are there for people to comment, rant, and suggest... -

rybo replied to Ugly (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
My point has been made clear by all the rants. No one in there right minds wants to hit up multiple social networking sites to get basic information about a product. Post it all here in one Mod thread. Lock comments. Nuff said and yall can stop the infighting.. -

rybo replied to Ugly (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I'm not a sell out and don't use twitter or Reddit. Please add all updates to the forums. I will not be regulated to use a 3rd party service just to get information about a product. It's like calling Microsoft and instead you get someone from India.... -

What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?
rybo replied to RadikulRAM's topic in General Discussion
Nothing like having your name called out while your hiding in a bush. The teleporting hes talking about is closer to a desyncing player but happens too be not desyncing. You play enough on high population servers it will happen at least once per patch. Normally around the last week or two prior to a new patch release. I don't know a single guy that hasn't been called out by name then killed at some point... I just take breaks till they release a patch. The times when we have to wait a month sux but not much they can do... -
In SA about 800m+ in Arma 2/3 over 2400m easy...

Put it back....lootable bodys after ten minutes
rybo replied to vipereye's topic in General Discussion
Zombies move to or spawn after 10mins then eat the body. Then they chill for another 10mins before dispersing or vanishing. Same thing happens with wildlife. They scavenge your corpse for nutrients. The way it should be... -

Lol, KOS means "Kill on Sight" just because you can't aim or are trying to catch up doesn't make you a good guy. Your still running around trying to KOS. Fail or not it's all the same. Next time roll up on those two guys and tell them whats going down and turn the tables on your homies. Hell, I've KO'd a few friends for this type of stuff. Granted I get all bandit about it and have no idea who or what happened other than the beach noob is now 300m further away and not a priority anymore. The other day I was straight up KOS'd while I was helping a group of 6 fresh spawns. No one knew each other. I was basically herding cats on fire. Any-who when I died all 6 guys got all up in arms about it and started cursing the guy out for KOS'sing and before I pushed "Respawn" I heard a final rally cry to gang beat the guy followed by about 20 shots and screaming. Totally didn't see that coming. If you have seen a geared guy die next to fresh spawns it's like tossing two nuggets of grain into a barn full of chickens. Reminds me of X-mas when the new gaming consoles come out..
