I did this crossbow challenge for a couple of days on my own initiative. It was massive fun but I was up in Berezino at the time and it was so damn quiet I ran into no-one to try it out on! That said, I acquired some nice vehicles and loot. I learned how to aim the crossbow by going into one of those industrial building with the big blue doors and shooting at the wall, doesn't take long to get the hang of it. I killed about 200 zombies in a couple of days, around 75% of which were headshots (I was practicing in case I ever had to use it on a player). I'd definitely recommend others try it.

Snipers definitely wield disproportionate power. Make sure you beans and bump this suggestion thread if that's your belief. It's unrealistic to believe that all inexperienced snipers can pickup a rifle and shoot a target 600m+ away first time consistently, but that's how it is in DayZ. It's better then quick-scoping, but only marginally.

This. The greatest thing about this game is the steep learning curve, something that almost all games seem to lack these days. I remember when racing simulators didn't have 5 different types of driver assistance and you had to actually trail brake and feed the throttle in to be fast for example. The average person out there just wants to fart around on an XBOX with something they can "master" in 5 minutes and when they can't they ditch the game or they find a way an easy way to get past their own limits (i.e. scripting).

None of this is capitalism, maybe you should look up the word before either of you come across as stupid. It is materialistic to want to hoard errythang for your ownselves though. That's what this game is for a lot of people though, your player is defined by what they own. That is, unless you give yourself a purpose, your purpose is to collect shit. Pretty much the same as life.

Thanks OP. I'll make sure never to play on that server. Also yes I'm a fast driver and low-flying helicopter pilot and I like it that way. Unfortunately this does little for my personal safety, or others.

OP just crawl somewhere hidden, bleed out, respawn and run to loot your body. You're right on the coast afterall and no-one trusts you, me included. Sorry dude.

So the latest vehicle I've acquired, a grey UAZ, has an unusual feature - it repairs itself. Sup wit dat? It's not only on server restarts either. If I crash it and then immediately get back in then it comes up all green. Is this a known bug? I found this vehicle in it's spawn point and repaired it fully so I doubt that it's somehow scripted.

Cool thanks all. Weird that I've never noticed it before.

Vehicles in DayZ are hard to conceal, temperamental and scripters can summon them all to their location at any moment. The first day I found a vehicle I want on to find a heli and a bus hours later by using it. I then promptly crashed the chopper due to misjudging how much gas was needed, returned to my ATV and flipped it within 60 seconds. Then I tried to take the bus only to get it wedged solidly between two barricades in a major city. I found a car yesterday and fixed it up entirely, hid it well and today the server is offline for some mysterious reason. Easy come, easy go. Do not get attached to your gear. The funny thing is the more you lose stuff the harder you have to work to find more gear and in turn the better you get at attaining gear. If you stick with it you will soon be up to your balls in guns and rides. The only way you can really fail to be is by staying in Cherno or Elektro all the time.

Most times when I've been spontaneously killed by hackers my bones get broken but my blood does not deplete at all. If you get both those things you can be pretty sure it was a hacker.

Rooftops still aren't safe from server hoppers either.

Happened to me today also. Judging by the unarmed bodies littering Novy I wasn't the only one. I wish I would spawn there more often.

Shit's gonna be tight.

Mad jelly. Keep dewing what you're dewing.

When I saw the thread you posted for your video concept I really thought that you were retarded...but the video turned out to be complete tits, ultra-tits. Brilliant. Liked and shared.

I always hide bodies with high-tier loot. I don't want other players getting any ideas.

A lot have left due to the scripting, it's not just the bugs. If anything I think the departure rate has increased in the last few days. I'm actually just on to see if there was any update news today, I don't intend to play anymore on the current build.

M14 is the ticket. Best gun in the game.

Earlier today I ran around Elektro rocking a double-barrel shotgun shooting Zees for about an hour* and not a single person fucked with me...and they said shotguns suck. *All acts were performed by trained professionals, no liability is accepted for any harm or loss caused by imitation of these extremely awesome actions.

Dave....you son of a bitch!
