It's good stuff, you should try it sometimes, mate.

Hehe, isn't it better to turn one of these into humor such as this? B)

I guess I play rather recklessly. I run next to roads, sometimes sneak through forest, it depends on my mood, really. I generally ask friendly (without revealing myself), unless I'm in the North. In which case, it becomes shoot on sight. I sneak into towns for stuff, especially medical supplies. I can be anywhere. Generally, where I am just depends on where my group wants to be at the time. While you may think I rather play "unsafe". I really only die in the NW airfield barracks (mostly to server hoppers). We do have a system to loot the barracks now to prevent dying there (2 people look out while one loots). Other than the airfield, I don't really see the need to change my style for now.

Lol, here's how I see this thread. Butthurt #1 complains about game. Butthurt #2 complains about butthurt #1 complaining. Butthurt #3 complains about butthurt #1 and butthurt #2 (I think I'd fall in this category, lulz). Rinse and repeat. Someone on another thread created a term, bitch-ception. I'd like to make one, too.... Butthurt-ion? oh man, that sounds kinky.

Not everyone here has English as their first language. It certainly isn't mine. No need to hunt people down over trivial things if you can at least understand what he's trying to say.

Goddamn it, this must be why our bus got stolen.

I think the problem is the fact that they don't have staging servers. We have such a staging server in my last work. Basically, you'd just have this server as a "test" server, if you will and just let people to volunteer to go on it. Leave it on there for a week or so. Once you know that it's fairly stable, THEN you push it to all the other servers. It would eliminate at least half the complaints here.

Oh shit, you just created a word. I approve this message.

I myself didn't know this until like a few days ago.. so no, you're not alone.

I actually think that they did a fairly good job for an Alpha. Could be better, but it's good enough.

I guess I can relate to this. Especially when your kill is that same douche that killed you 3-4 times in a row, lol (nemesis kill ftw!).

I'm not sure how hard/easy it is to implement. But another game I played solved this DCing problem with a simple logout timer. The logout timer also resets to its starting amount each and everytime you take damage, so you are forced to pretty much only logout when it's safe. It also solved the alt-f4 problem by pretty much automating that logout timer whenever the client stops responding. So yes, your client is no longer active, but your character stays there until the timer is done. So, people that try to do that will log back in to a dead character.

Lol, you're assuming too much. I merely said that I think that's what he thinks, not what I think. Besides, some of the things you listed are things you also do in the other shooters like finding cover, reacting to gunshots, planning approach, escape route, etc. All of those exist in the other games also. You have to do these things if you want to keep your streaks instead of just feeding other people kills over and over again. About the only difference is that you die slightly harder and encounters are much more frequent that it becomes casual. Besides, most people don't even employ those tactics that you mention. Most just wait on top of a hill or a roof with a scoped rifle, waiting for some indication of running zombies aggroed by some poor sob. Not really much "skill" in that.

Less people is only good if you're only looting the coastlines. It's actually a lot more dangerous if you plan to loot NW airfield cause others will probably think exactly what you just said (less people, better chance). I've died plenty of times on low pop servers in NW airfield.

Lol, that's a cool video. Surprisingly, it actually sounds great... even though all he's saying is "fix it". :lol:

Irrelevant, I'm changing the way my lamp works, Perhaps I want it to use different voltage or different fitting? A different voltage would require a transformer to work correctly, which would change the way the lamp works. Problems are to be expected. I'd have to put the transformer in, change the fitting, and "tune it" (flip the switch for different AC voltage line, make sure current draw is at a tolerable limit, etc.) to get it working without it blowing up. Likewise, nice try :D... btw, I just realized that we are now completely derailed off the topic and we're really arguing about way too many semantics. In the end, if you're trying to explain DayZ to your friend to get him to play, You'd probably say something like: "Yo, I'm playing this cool 'game' called DayZ. It's so much fun, you should get it". I actually said this to a co-worker to get him to play, no dice unfortunately. I did get one of my friends to buy it today, though. Cheers! We can argue all day long about semantics and minute details, but most people would describe it as a game.

No fair, I don't have one of those fancy keyboards <_<. I guess I'll just find some weight to hold down that stinking 'w' key.

I'd say it depends on everyone's definition of "hardcore". I think what he means with hardcore is that it actually takes some skill to actually excel in those other shooters. In DayZ, it mostly comes down to who sees whom first. Not much skill in it really.

May just be me, but I've only gotten' sniped in the coastal areas like twice. I've made several friends down South. I'd say I've died a lot more up North (Airfield mostly). Never made any friends up there. It's all Deathmatch up there. I still go up there though... mostly for loot.

I think they're identical twins.

Did not know this, so you can keep it up indefinitely as long as you keep saving? Can you still pack it up?

Just cause you can't put something on a particular type of that family of objects doesn't make it invalid for everything else. It's just like how you can't just slap on any bulb to any lamp without changing the fitting. What? so this bulb doesn't fit with this lamp, so this must not be a lamp? Jeez, I don't know a lot about lamps, but even I know that.

You obviously lack reading comprehension. Maybe learn that before calling names? I guess that's your only recourse for a lack of anything else better to say? Where have I ever even remotely suggested that DayZ is anything like Arma? I never even mentioned the word "Arma" in the entire post. And yet, another flawed analysis. Ok, it pushes the Arma code to the limits.... what? that disqualifies it as a game? And last, you don't call it a game, then what the hell is it? I sure as hell hear plenty of people calling it a game. In fact, the guy just before me called it that... Even you yourself use that term in your own post.

Not sure if "few others" include me or not, but just in case. I'm fully aware that the mod is free and such. Also, I'm neither agreeing with the OP nor the ones that disagreed with him. I'm just saying that "it's a mod, not a game" statement is just retarded. Yes, I know, unrelated to the thread, but it's just one of those things that I gotta' say something about cause it's annoying me.
