hells high

I was always the wierdo that would use 30 round mags with my M4, occasionally picking up a 60 rounder to restack my ammo. :P In experimental I followed that same principle, picking up a 75 round drum for the AK, saying "coorrr", and unloading all of the ammo out of it. THey definitely seem more rare now in the stable push.

I showed a couple of new people there after having been there a bit in experimental. We ran into 3 or 4 other players, all friendly and just exploring the place. Its really not that great for later game people, tons of residential spawns to get you healthy and ready to hit the road.

I was running around in Experimental last week with a black stocked AKM. The painted texture wasn't that great but it was working. The foregrip wasn't paintable though.

I find bipods literally everywhere, most commonly in the small garages. No need to go to the tents for those. Also this might be something to put on the bug tracker.

I've been playing EXP hardcore for so long, after dieing today I decided to hop onto Regular and found this character. Now on Hardcore all I really want is an AK. Why DayZ gods, why?! :c

Yup just a glitch. Sometimes if you play a lot of inventory tetris (or even upon logging in) you'll notice your own inventory slots becoming bugged. Simply drop trou and put em back on and you should be set to go.

The placing system that Dean was working on isn't perfect. Often times it will shoot the object outside or into another room, or unfortunately into a wall/under a floor. 90% of the time I find my "lost" items somewhere around the outside wall of the building, in another room, or a floor below.

In experimental it takes about 1-2 hits with the splitting axe to kill a zed. I carry one because I like to carry one firearm with only a few mags, plus you can chop down trees for wood with it.

Wall glitching and PBO modification isnt the same thing mate. You can wall glitch with a perfectly legal copy of the game. Which we should always try to remember is a glitch/exploit in a piece of alpha software that is being worked on. Pointless whining is pointless

Actually what they are doing is more akin to "ripping out" the guts of a Hyundai and filling it with the guts of an Aston Martin. They've been saying for a long time that they are slowly ripping out and rewriting bits of the engine to suit their needs...

Mini 14 is cool, I really like the Ruger Gunsight but it isn't 5.56. The closest to that would be the MVP you posted, that would be pretty sweet too.

If you are in a safe enough area I tend to walk through doorways and then stand outside the doorway for a little bit, if that doesn't work, crawling through and out the door has helped me most of the time. The police station is awful for it right now, I tend to just stay away from it.

I do something different each time, if I did the same thing again and again I'd get bored.

Uhh wrong. I'd wear whatever gave me the best chances to survive. If I had heavy duty camouflaged clothing with lots of pockets and I was living in the woods you can bet your ass I'd wear it over the Mushroomhead tee I'm currently sporting. I'd want to blend in and be prepared. Everyone seems to equate "survivor" with handicapping themselves. You don't survive that way.

Epoch is nothing like DayZ. I like playing DayZ, so I will play DayZ. If I want to play Epoch I will play Epoch and DayZ. Why does there always have to be a winner?

Its not incredibly hard to build a fire to cook the meat either (although cooking is a little wonky at the moment). If you look in the files, canned food is far superior to cooked meats, which leads me to believe they could become way more rare in the future.

Its almost like they're a company or something... http://www.bistudio.com/company/developers-blog/465-roadmap-14-15-dlc-strategy-blog According to BI's new strategy for DLC, any would be presumably be open and available for everyone to use.

While I agree that it is an important step that needs to be made, I don't necessarily feel its any more important that some of the other issues we are having. I think the idea is to hopefully completely redo the entire sound engine, which I imagine will take some time. I'd LOVE for the sounds to be as complex and a dynamic as some of the mods for the ARMA games, because you are right about it being critical to the gameplay. I tend to stay far away from people, and would love to hear a loud crack in the distance as a group shoots down a player or zombie, and be able to guess how far away they might be. I think taking a break from the game might not actually be a bad idea. With the recent hold on patches for stable the game has become more stagnant, the glaring bugs building up our percepted severity and making people wonder what is even going on. However, if you've played experimental, you'll understand why I am personally very excited about what the future might hold for the game, and re inspired as to the potential. Taking a break until some of these changes and even more make their way in could be a great idea.

There's an app thread for that. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/6794-i-give-up-this-game-is-bull-i-want-my-money-back/

Mags with no ammo spawn in most weapons. Empty mags become more common. Ammo becomes less common. I think that sounds fair.

So you just completely ignore my post attempting to help with some tactics that have worked for, one might say, a while. Trolling is a dumb hobby, find a new one.

CONSOLE GARBAAAAAAAAGE All jokes aside, I don't have a problem with the weapon calibers as they are. For right now they make sense from a development standpoint, and even if it carried through to release I wouldn't be so rage filled I'd wanna flip tiny pizza tables. Your post makes just as much sense for the game to me, but I could honestly go either way.

Zig zag moderately slowly while sprinting, the zombies will lunge to the sides of you and miss completely. Try aiming some time. Go into first person and hit them in the head whilst strafing and dodging their swings. If you aim at the head and the the blood appears lower, adjust a bit higher. Its still in development after all, the animations don't quite match up yet. Headshots will knock them down, then you simply beat the shit out of their noggins while they are lying down and during their get back up animation. If you keep hitting them in the head they'll fall over again. Using this method I can kill most zombies with my fists in less than 10 hits, as long as there aren't a shitload of them. Then you'll need to do this with a weapon like an axe or machete or something, then it'll take 1-3 hits. Quit being such a drama queen.

This was never an issue in the mod, because you'd just pick up "CZ550 ammo". Yet everyone seems to think that DayZ needs to follow the amazingly realistic lineage that is ARMA and the mod (which aren't realistic, sorry gibonez.)

You found fitty.
