Siberian (DayZ)

wow this is pretty common it seems.. me thinks the Devs need to look at how loot spawns so this cant happen.. finding stuff is hard enuf, we dont need to find 7 hatchets in a single barn and nothing else.. back to hunting for supplies with me.. perhaps i'll just turn to selling hatchets instead.. WTT: Hatchets for beans.. LOL

cept in DayZ, everyone would just turn on each other and start a huge gun fight in town as soon as they all saw each other..

try having a Enfield.. talk about a town emptier.. YIKEs !!!

basicly you have to just accept your going to die ALOt at first until you start to figure things out.. if you cant accept dieing, your gunna burn out and uninstall.. i just about did..then i did more research and watched ABUNCH of youtube vids.. while i still suck, at least now i know i suck, hahaha

im mostly curious to compare noise level vs stopping power vs Zeds. (dont care about PK results, as i dont PK) im using a Lee Enfield but holy crap it brings the Z's a running, hahah not real interested in having the best guns in the game, just somethign that perhaps isnt like a bomb gonig off when fired.

not my first but among my first 5 (as i was still like a new born calf in the woods), literaly spawned by the dock in Elctro, 2 Zombies saw me the second i got in game, dead within 15 secs.. thats gotta be a record.. i was kinda mad that Zombies patrol spawn areas, that seems kinda lame.. talk about having no chance.

finding my first rifle after days (in game a bunch of hours) of searching with no luk all over the coast/ cities/barns/houses seriously whooped in RL when i saw it.. havin a way to defend yourself is a radical shift in play expereince from having NOTHING!

even with Com.Z you can find servers that say its night when it isnt.. servers restarts tend to screw up the clock someone compared to what ComZ shows.

no i bounce around looking for servers with lots of sunlight/lowping/ and low player count.. then bounce when it gets dark or the player total gets to high..im not looking to be some PK jagoffs next "haha moment"

its a sandbox, you have to make your own reasons to play.. if you need a theme park Ala WoW, then you wont enjoy DayZ forf long for me its about surviving as long as possible, taking minimal risk and exploring.. had so many close calls, that made for terrific gameplay on spur of the moment unscripted events..

or your just playing along and all over a sudden someone steals the chessboard and says game over.. no warning, no chance to make a move.. yea thats fun, over and over again.. NOT !

great so if you have a connection issue for whateva reason and die due to a lougout timer, and end up on a beach vacation, how is that fair ??? you have no idea or control over what happened.. thx but no thx..i dont mind dieing when im in control or its my fualt but to force a mechanic on a player when its beyond their control is LAME of the highest order. worst part is you dont even get a screen saying what happened, you'd just end up on the beach wondering "WTF ???".. sorry no sale on this idea

^^^exactly^^^, this guy gets it.. think like its YOUR life on the line, why would expose yoursefl to unnecc. risk if you had the option to sit still and stay safe until the danger past.. not every meeting of people needs to end up with someone going for a "beach vacation".. i think its lack of patience on most peoples part..its easier to just shoot, then sit still for a few mins/secs.. ADHD generation i suppose...

im pretty sure my guy can go from food n drink and have both be red again in under 45mins. and i NEVER really run long distances or fight for long stretchs.. i can literaly go from one small village to another and already need food n drink again..its one long vicisous cycle.. i like the mechanic, i just think it needs a little taming is all. having to eat/drink every few hours seems more in line then what im expereiencing currently.. but perhaps my toon is a fat bastard, hahah

sorry if you thought i was refering to you in particular.. im refering to PK players in general who think everyone should PK in sandbox games.. this isnt TF or Quake, no matter how much PK players will try to tell you it is.. FWIW, i havent DC'd to avoid players yet.. but im not saying i wouldnt, i just so far have been choosing my situations carefully, which doesnt preclude the running into someone at point blank without warning of course.. ps i assume Alt-F4 is supposed to drop you out of game right ??? cuz on my pc in DayZ i tried it to see what happens, and my game keeps right on trucking..is it a option you have to turn on or something ??? i can only close out my game in the menu or all the way to CNTL/ALT/DEL and close process.. Alt-F4 does nothing..

speaking of creepy sound effects. that godam chainlink fence being opened sound effect when im creeping around a house hiding from Zeds. just about fills.my shorts everytime.. lol@dayZ sound devs.. you get me everytime with that

soon as Dayz has a SP version, you can bet thats what will happen.. till then i'll avoid asshats like the plague.. its funny how PK players always expect non-PK players to conform instead of the other way round..this is a sandbox, not everyone wants to run around killing other players for shitsngiggles.. get over yourself

ive wondered this same thing.. the food/water regs. seem set to high.. i like needing to find it to survive, but it does seem like its currently a endless search for the next meal. with little time for anything else.

exactly, fuck these PK assholes.. if people wanna pop other players for no other reasons then they saw them, i full understand the player getting popped DCing.. if you dont wanna fight a DCer, then heres an idea, dont shoot at them..

yea i live in constant fear of the water bottle head smash.. come on, think about it.. if your saying you cant see the difference between a unarmed fresh spawn on the coast and a ghillie suited sniper inland, well i dont know what to tell you.. but feel free to keep popping those water bottle mellee guys, im sure your team is much safer for it.. lol whateva..

id love to have a team mate to play with, but my login/logout times make it WAYYY to hard to combine with someone else, let alone find them.. besides i think playing solo makes the game slower and last longer.. i have to take less risk and go about my play session slower.. im liking it so far.

curious if you sit by a fire long enuf will ur body temp go back up ??? or do you need to find/use heatpacks ?

sweet, thx guys.

just your rage from dieing..

id rather earn my gear by finding it the old fashioned way.. "exploring", rather then just opening some chest and grabbing everything enmasse.. NO sale. that camp can sit over there and rot for all i care.
