elektro is a pretty safe bet. usually not insanely geared players running around there, but there's always something happening on populated servers

that was poetry... also, you were probably on a Persistence Enabled server. i am admittedly a bit of a layman as to how persistence works, but i've roughly translated it to mean "you aren't going to find anything"

i've had really bad luck using cattle prods so i haven't experimented much, but it stands to reason that a headshot would indeed be more effective. i'm honestly surprised to read about people using these things as much as they do given the crappy battery life you mentioned. i don't find batteries often enough for this to be a feasible weapon, especially when axes are as good as they are.

i think he's talking about when using a cattle prod

if you don't loot corpses and you don't go into towns, where does your ammunition come from

ahh, the noble pie-baking-while-playing-dayz

you gotta stop with this association of everyone in here being mindless psychopaths. i can actually recall one of the last times someone logged on me, was someone firing at me, not realizing (presumably) i was in a group 6 deep who were 50m behind me. we surrounded the building, suppressing fire, telling them to come out / surrender, and when we eventually rushed it, the guy had logged. but i'm the "back shooting KoSer". this shit isn't black and white.

a derringer is a really cool idea in theory, but imo it would really need unique animations/stances. a derringer has one positive trait, in that it is easily concealable, therefore the current handgun stance would ruin that. here's hoping...even without the concealment factor, it'd be pretty sweet to pop some sucker in the face with one. edit, just read about the new poses. i will now eat my words

you're def right. it just changes the playstyle, pretty significantly. i find being patient, and extremely slow between moves pays off more in 3pp, in 1pp players tend to miss way more of what's going on around them. i just find it ironic that OP is raving about "instant gratification era kids" or whatever, and the reality is that you can be WAY less careful / sprint around / loot faster in 1pp and get away with it.

doesn't really make it easier if everyone can do it, now does it? such a vocal minority. must suck.

thanks for the warning. if this happens to me i'm going to try and just mag dump all around me and then swing a weapon around who knows, maybe they're just invisible

lel @ "COD kids" COD has no 3rd person ARMA has always had 3rd person

goto Elektro on high pop servers for PVP "events" it is a 24/7 gong show. i hope it never changes.

I feel you Zippit...I can never find them why are hacksaws so rare, anyway? i must find 10 guns for every 1 hacksaw :(

show me the rule no, that's not a rule neitehr is that see, no rule /slowclap

that's kind of like saying, if I want to play basketball and I am not going to bother dribbling because that's how i play, that is my playstyle, and not everyone has to play along. if you don't like it, well you are arrogant / ignorant / whatever the hell else you've been repeating. there are certain rules to certain games, dayz having like 2. sure, you can keep logging in combat because the dev implementation sucks or isn't working, but to seriously justify that shit? man, give it up, you are an 8 page running joke now.

you must go to some shitty courses.

the problem is your golf analogy sucks.

ever think maybe your melee technique is a bit off, OP?

that would be pretty sweet. "ah man i got the gimpy right leg again"

/thread well put

i think i have lost 5 so far...and i've spawned naked at the bridge on two separate occasions.

next time OP, handcuff him and leave him there

the argument you put forth coupled with how you've defined what you consider "trolling" would be something more analogous to "when my opponent hits the ball in a fashion i deem as trolling" aka "whenever i want" STOP TROLLING ME AT CHECKERS I QUIT
