A sensitive case here it seems. I agree that offensive names can be a bit disdaining but OP seems a bit hateful..! I more or less feel sorry for people that are pedophile rather than have a grudge on them. I remember reading stories about pedophiles committing suicide since they knew it was wrong but just like homosexuality or bisexuality, I believe it can be a case of natural preference, something one cannot control. Don't get me wrong, I think the act of pedophilia is still wrong and dreadful. but wishing a person dead for isn't quite justified

Darn.. seems like I should've homed DayZ on my SSD then. If only I prepared and bought an SSD with more than 128gbs

I came into this topic with the expectations of seeing bear hands. I was not dissapointed

The amount of grabby handed children in here is questionable to say the least..

Reading this bit made my day.

This says it all.

Sigh.. not this melodrama bullshit again.

Wow, I didn't realize there was such a passionate hate around heavy weapons. While I agree with most of the .. disagreements regarding explosives. Everyone seems to forget that incase there would be a mortar in DayZ for example.. I could imagine the mortar shells being extremeley rare and the mortar itself needing maintenance. Not to mention a mortar source could be loud and sitting ontop of these things leaves you entirely vulnerable to weaponfire from other people. I don't say I agree with the idea being put to life but yeah.. I think the game lacks the ability to intercept vehicles from time to time.. especially choppers. So something like a heavy machine gun could be a good thing to defend your stashes against people that are in possesion of a heli. But yeah stuff like improvised bombs would be nice. IED's or molotovs. However, considering that explosive charges and usual grenades could be put back into the game would leave it a bit of an unnecessary addition.

The scenario description is well put! I voted D myself. But considering how my approaches differ from each other depending on the situation. I guess it wouldn't be my definite answer. For example.. If I happen to be low on blood and have allot at stake, I probably would be a bit more trigger friendly. I try to avoid contact if I don't wish to interact with other players. But if the point arises where conflict is inevitable, I would try to converse with the player(s) in question. If they would respond by drawing a weapon and pointing towards my direction (while I have my weapon still put away) I wouldn't hesitate to back up and shoot them for making such an aggressive gesture. I find that (especially now since there's an easier way to arm and un-arm yourself) that there's no reason to draw a weapon towards another player if they are unarmed or have their weapon put away. Unless, ofcourse, the player or players are intending to kill in which in my case it would mean I'd gladly take out my own arms in response and shoot if they don't quickly decide to put their weapons away. But like I said, it greatly depends on the situation at hand. I'll be honest that at times I killed other players without a solid reason just so I wouldn't have to end up dealing with an awkward conflict or when I have allot to lose.

I somewhat hastefully went through the thread reading people's arguments and responses.. and all I could think about was; potato

While I can understand your feelings about the new infection rate, I don't think I'd do the right thing and stand by the statement of melee 'being pointless'. I'm also not sure how long you've been playing with the new patch build in general actually. If I remember correctly, my first few days of gameplay in the new build got me killed a dozen of times due to the infection since I was underestimating the zombies completley. You basicly have to adapt your playstyle dramaticly now (at least for most people) to survive for a longer period of time since zombies are actually a considerable thread now. Now to the point where I disagree with melee being pointless. Well allot of people already mentioned why, melee can still provide a silent venture through towns and places that have a high activity of zeds. When you would leave out the exploit of zombies only being able to walk indoors, you'd still be well off with a melee weapon when you notice there's a single zed closing into you. While risk of infection is highly present, I think you'll be statistcly better off by killing him with your melee weapon then shooting him down and invite the rest of his undead party to this morbid game of tag. Not to mention the ammo you'll be conserving. I think the main point of having a melee weapon in the current game is due to the availability and the fact that it doesn't ammo.. soort off. I know you'd be safer with a silenced weapon but knowing that they aren't lying around everywhere, I still find that melee weapons turn out to be a usefull tool.

Dat German hate response.

Keeping the L85 in the game without the thermal optics seems the best choice and it appearently is so far! I mean the NVGoggles alone are quite the advantage already. thermal vision just takes the advantage aspect to a somewhat unfair level in my opinion.

Okay then, I've dropped all the more rarer loot I had outside of Stary Sobor near the little white house with a car wreck and a blockade that is overlooking the town. it's on DE 3686. The loot content is: - AS50 with 4 mags, 2 full and 2 with 4 bullets left. - FN FAL with 2 mags, one is half full I believe. - G17 with a couple of mags. - PDW with 3 full mags. - NV Goggles. - Map and Compass. - Some food and drinks. Half of it is stored in a 26 slot backpack. So yeah! let the games begin I guess... Huehuehuehuehueh. no but seriously it's there so feel free to take any of it.

Hmmm well I tried finding people for a moment but the amount of Chernarus servers on 1.7.4.4 seem somewhat low so I didn't have allot of choice xD but yeah I guess it'll be an idea to drop it somewhere. I'll come back with a post for you guys to go and find it EDIT: I'll revise on that statement, I re-opened DayZCommander and now it appears there are tons of servers after all.
