    *Workarounds to some common bugs*

    I've completely eliminated the problem with mosin by using bullet stacks of 5 and not reloading while having sights up Not sure which one it is, but I haven't had a problem with the gun ever since

    "Friendlies" are just a bunch of lamers

    The learning curve is abysmally small and not even worth mentioning Also, I've played multiple fpses around med/high level, so I do know what accuracy is. The fact that I've got everything right in the game (using a bipod, not out of breath, yaddayaddayadda basics) and still miss tells me I mind as well go and play lottery, because it's as much luck related. I never had a problem with accuracy in the original mod (or with any other fps for that matter), it's just when the game decides to introduce factors that boil down to RNGesus instead of raw player ability, makes one kind of violated Again, the game is more about random numbers and a very small learning curve rather than things like skill

    "Friendlies" are just a bunch of lamers

    Things like accuracy are non-existent in the game, the weapons are pretty inaccurate and things like luck play a much higher factor in the game rather than aim. Refer to dispersion with the current in-game weapons If it's a skill to do "well" in dayz, eg. getting items and staying alive, any shuffling retard can get a full kit at the 1-2 hour mark and head north to live out their days in complete solitude. I've died 4 times in the SA and after each time I've either just walked/crept up to someone with stuff, knocked them unconscious and taken their kit or ran to elektro/cherno and checked up the sniper hills or tall buildings for corpses. This way you'll get a full kit in 20 minutes, saving precious time that I can use now to miss people with the sniper rifle because it's so inaccurate There is literally no learning curve in the game apart from learningwhere you can find stuff, how to zero weapons and use the inventory system. After getting your fully upgraded m4 or mosin with lsr and bipod, it's either going to coast and KOS everyone, OR, FOR ADDED CHALLENGE, handcuff people and take off their pants Ergo, if there's any skill in DayZ, the learning curve is minimal and everybody gets the hang of it in an hour or so Except the things you mentioned take very little time to learn I play FPS competitively as well, it's just that aim really doesn't seem play much part in the game, unless it's really close up because the guns fire pretty random once the distance is increased. I suppose things like reaction times and such do count, but my original point still kind of hovers around the "DayZ takes very little skill to play"

    No really, tell me, what makes someone a skilled player in dayz? People throw the word skill around, I really don't understand what it means in the context of dayz And I suppose confidence and calmness are lost for the 99% of the playerbase because nearly everytime I've played with someone and they encounter a survivor with a pistol, they start shaking from adrenaline and spew out tacticoolness with a scared voice as if it's a real combat scenario against an actual threat. Also, the forum stories and the jewtube are filled with videos of scared people shaking up while shooting, at first I thought they were joking but I can't but to think they were actually being serious "T-t-tango down"

    3 of us died from a hacker last night

    Yeah, it's fun to feel violated in the meantime, I suppose

    3 of us died from a hacker last night

    By the time BE actually started to bust and ban people, the cheats had already scared away a sizable amount of the player population. I recall how fun it was to get launched to the sky, get teleported to kill arenas, just fall over and die, see fighter planers destroy cherno and elekto, find big stashes of hacked gear... List goes on and on. BE bans in waves, so a single person could log in to hundreds of servers once a day to use his instagib script to kill tons of people, getting banned like 3 weeks after. Do also note that the many of the people who cry for their innocence are actually innocent, because cd-key theft is a real thing Obviously it's not as bad now, but then again, at the beginning of the launch DayZ mod there was little to no cheat activity.

    +1 Battleye in charge of catching cheaters, it's probably worse than the PB Also, I saw something peculiar just some time ago, guy taking huge leaps around (running like 200m in a few seconds). He stopped to loot at certain points, so it wasn't like he was desyncing or anything, I suppose there's a speedhack (or a glitch/bug that gives a similar advantage, w/e), one of the many hardships to come

    Please do tell me, what makes someone a good DayZ player?

    The Long Range Scope Quality

    The weapons are inaccurate as shit, you shouldn't be zeroing with Mosin around the 100-400m mark anyways

    Also, it's not a matter of bad-assness, I'm just saying. People who insist on not shooting on other people in a half-dead zombie-game where there's little zombies to go around in the first place won't make far in any form of video games. Your quotes are from few years back btw
  12. So it was business as usual, was playing,pizza delivery man ringed the doorbell, paid for the pizza and gave a gracious tip, ate half of the pizza, came back to the computer, logged in and I wake up unconscious How can I get rid of this status effect?

    Joined a server, unconscious

    As said, I never got knocked unconscious when I left the server the first time for the pizza delivery man But now it seems my toon is dead and I have to start over, gg

    How was your first death?

    A group of people handcuffed me, took my pants off and talked dirty with me for some time after which they killed me Atleast I had cybersex
  16. So after a long hiatus, I'm happy to return to the new version and play a little and stuff (about an hour, I got handcuffed by some guys and they took my pants off and we talked dirty, we all got off and I got shot, business as usual). At any rate, I'd like to know if there are still tents or such in the standalone version, would be nice to stash stuff and such Thanks guise

    Trading sub-forum for the SA

    Title pretty much, I liked to trade in the mod and it was a feasible way of getting stuff before the private hives and such got extremely popular

    Trading sub-forum for the SA

    Sorry, I thought you said something about there being no demand I demand it. They demand it. There are many more who will demand it. Surely, a trading sub-forum is not that much to ask for?
  19. gamerer

    Tents / camps in the new version?

    Private hives are pretty bad imo, more often than not the admins cheat to give themselves an advantage
  20. gamerer

    Tents / camps in the new version?

    Nothing to store items in at faraway places? No doomsday stashes? A gun for the rainy day?

    Selling AS50 FOR M107

    M107 looks fucking BADASS as opposed to AS50, not to mention the extremely masculine sound of M107 which beats AS50's meek puffs any day. Some people choose appearance and cool factor over practicality, and seeing how rare 5 rnd NATOs are anyways & both weapons one-shot kill in all situations = not much of a difference for some people. Actually a cool guy what comes to trading.
