QFT Yeah, that's a real problem, and even though it brings the "horde" aspect into play, it just doesn't feel authentic.

So you just "happened" to find an AS50 TWS? :murder: I for one will give regular survivors the benefit of the doubt, but if I see a Brit uniform, or any other non-standard uniform, I'll KOS and bury your un-looted body.

Booby trap.... :wub:

Some people collect them. If you find people like that, you'll probably fetch a good barter for them. Otherwise, they're only worth their weight in liquid. To a dehydrated surviver, it may be worth more. Also, if that surviver has a gun, and you refuse him, it might be worth your life. That's supply and demand for yah. :)

Seeing as there are notable factions on this forum, how would you reference them in the game?

In order to read the signs in DayZ, you need to know the Cyrillic alphabet. Here it is (see attached image).

I don't approve of ghosting with two accounts. Also, it was a stupid move to go to the top of the fire house in the middle of Elektro, even though it's pretty douhce to shoot what could seem like unarmed players. However, it's even more douche to get into another account to ghost kill players just to get revenge.

As of now, they just roam around. What if you made them fewer, but more cunning? They could be standing behind a corner, waiting to get the drop on you, for instance. That would scare the shit outta me. Also, I'd love it. Also lacking: That slow moving, but determined, horde...

I'm a grammar nazi. My idea is that we should incorporate a version of Scrabble into DayZ.

Aggreed! Actually, sometimes the game is at its most spooky when I go into a city and don't see any zedz. Kind of like going into the wood and not hearing any birds singing. It gives an eerie feeling. If you asked Hitchcock, he'd say that if you put too many of them in, the audience would simply get used to them, and not see them as enough of a threat. Also, I kind of miss the part of the zombie lore that say that you should never be bitten by a zombie, lest you have a chance of getting sick and becoming one yourself.

The only hackers I've liked, are the ones doing spooky, scary or funny shit. Face it, spawning cows in parachutes is pretty fucking funny. Also the hacker that made the Green Mountain myth is a hero, IMO. I mean, wtf, be original! But all the rest, including cheaters and dupers, are fuck all. Hackers that provide a heightened game experience are actually pretty cool, and I hope some of their stuff is incorporated into the standalone. However I'm not talking about the ones spawning in stuff for other players, or hackers teleporting survivors into the Thunderdome. They can go fuck off. There need not even be a script involved. Just look at the voice trollers. I love those guys!

I judge rarity next to how many times I've found Mountain Dew in the game. Most hackers don't bother hacking in Mountain Dew, and I've only found it... once.

Oh, thanks for the information, Colonel. Now you piss off instead. :) In fact, claiming that "this is a bandit thread" makes me a bandit for commenting in it in a way that you don't like, and thus I'm more than happy to ruin your day, when there's talk about cowards and pussies about. I mean, a true bandit could probably steal or rob from me. It might not be fair, but it is what it is. However this guy has to live with being a little scared coward who does not dare to leave the store for fear of a little sniper fire, probably because he doesn't know how to stay in cover, a.k.a. he's just not very good at the game. I mean, everybody has to start somewhere. But being so bad at it that you have to resort to backstabbing, is just low, bandit or not.

Fumble, stumble, die. A girl at my school slid down from a mountain once during the winter. Finally she stopped on a tree trunk, right smack in the middle of her crotch. They said she had a blue pussy for a month after that...

Just a little further out, there spawns a sub. You can use it to fly the helo!

Don't like the idea of perks. The perk given should be your ability to survive. Giving you anything extra would be needlessly OP. Having a ranking system would be OK, I guess, so long it's not visible in game. I'd love to know who's the longest survivor, the best medic, the worst murderer, and all that - but outside the game.

Correction: This one hacker didn't have any friends. You cannot know anything about all the rest. As far as I'm concerned, they're all scum that destroys everybody's experience of DayZ.

No, you guys just didn't check your six. That's all. Also, you were all camping on the same hill i.e. easy to spot. I bet you she was just a noob. Only a noob picks up the double barrel. Also, I bet she didn't even know there were so many of you on that hill. She was just minding her own business, and happened to stumble upon you. After all, why would she try to run when she finally got the bead on you?

So you just "happened" to stumble upon a AS50 TWS? And now you want to know if Alt+F4 is legit? I hope someone bans your cheating ass.

Pathetic. Not by him, but by your cowardly backstabbing. You became a pussy because of the sniper fire, and when somebody finally came in the door, you resorted to lyeing and backstabbing. It's pathetic. You're pathetic. On the other hand, the other dude must have been pretty stupid coming in with gear like that in Elektro of all places. Still don't make you any better. He was the tough one, although careless. You were the pussy that didn't dare to face him eye to eye, mano à mano. So that makes you a pussy. A coward. The lowest of the low. Enjoy your infamy.

Hand car... OK. The rest of the world seems to call it Dressine, or something in that order. :D Would be a great addition to DayZ, next to having an acual fixable diesel train locomotive.

Alrighty then! Didn't know just how new you were. :) Don't wast ammo on the zeds. Ammo is for other players only (or that one time where you have no choice because you did something really stupid. Find a hatchet in an industrial building. Go to inventory. Right click the hatchet and equip it. Reload it (don't ask). And you're ready to do kill any zed that comes close to you inside a building. Just crouch, press the button and swing away long before the zed comes close. Yet, if you know how to loose aggro, then you really don't need the hachet either. In fact, today I forgot to pick it up, when I respawned, and only when I was almost fully geared up, I went "Oh shit!" Google "loosing zeds" or "How to lose zeds" or something like that. There are plenty of threads on it already in here, for instance. Break a leg! But remember to have fun first. ;)

First off, don't stay for three whole hours in Cherno. Once you have the basics, that is a hatchet, possibly a map, a knife, and some mathces, and an ALICE in a store, or the church - then you get the hell out of there. Checking the military tents in Cherno is optional (and kind of risky, so I wouldn't do it). Then you go to wherever, and you'll be much more safe. In fact already with a Lee Enfield or something slightly worse, you could hit up those first military spawns further north - and the only thing you would really stand to loose, is the 10-15 minutes of work on the Bean Coast, and the 15-30 minute trip getting further north. And there you have it: Fully gearing up within an hour. Stuff like NVG, GPS, Coyote backpack and Ghillie are things that will still take time to get, though. And you cannot assume you'll get the FN FAL on the first heli chrash you see (if you find one that day). However, if you don't even know how to loose zeds quickly and effectively in the city, then you should stay on the Bean Coast and train on that until you master it, before venturing anywhere close to more serious players.

I don't know. I've never tried. I suggest you do the same. :rolleyes:

Great, FitzGerald... Now shoo! Anyway, the question is still "How would you reference bronies and carebears in DayZ?"
