is Sacriel becoming a bully?
discombobulated replied to daze23's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I merely wrote facts, sarcasm, and an assumption, none of which should lead you to believe that I think I know you. But yes you are correct I don't, if that makes you feel any better. -
is Sacriel becoming a bully?
discombobulated replied to daze23's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Are you sure? The analogy fit fine actually, might have been in bad taste, but like I said, I didn't expect anyone to be stupid enough to take it seriously. And be my guest if you want to slap yourself in the face because you failed to see the point, blaming the victim for their actions. But don't bring up any valid points from my post, just slap away at that reddening cheek, and post an overused meme, showing is the true caliber of your brain power. Peace. -
is Sacriel becoming a bully?
discombobulated replied to daze23's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I didn't mention anything about how he plays, if there was no diversity in characters, there would be no fun. The quote was in relation to his about how it is the persons fault for running into the path of his bullets, rather than his for firing the gun. The analogy was in no way meant to be taken seriously, because I didn't assume anyone would be so stupid as to do so. Glad to see you got past the first sentence anyway, nice to know people actually pay attention. Thumbs up to you! -

Lol, you seem to be the type of person who would also blame the women for dressing slutty and walking down the wrong street, instead of the rapist for being a complete (your own choice of swear word here). Also when I started out at the game, I sneaked around everywhere, then soon realised that it was a waste of time crawling past 19 Zeds to have the 20th spot you from 80 metres away, then sprint like Linford Christie at you till you hide in a bush. Pretty much every single person who runs knows exactly what they are doing, it doesn't instantly make it their fault that some fucktard is sitting on a hill with an AS50 waiting for someone to pop up in their FOV. You also fail to mention these people have already been up North as well, then PURPOSEFULLY come back to the coast just to shoot people that don't have a chance at shooting back. I have every right to complain about these people, If I had a gun, some supplies, a better backpack, then yes, sure, shoot me, I wouldn't care. The fact that they did it for the sake of getting a (completely well earned) kill, is just a bit pathetic. (Let it be known I haven't been killed by a Spawn Camper yet, but it doesn't make my statement any less true.) You don't even mention the New Spawns that are actually being sneaky, but just get unlucky by meeting someone on the same route who is already armed. Are these people to blame for their own misfortune? I guess it was their fault they ran into someone that kills unarmed people yes? Should have taken a left instead of a right at the last crossroads aye? -
Why did the DayZ players changed so much?(From friendly kids to backstabbing twats)
discombobulated replied to privatewolf's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
So you never wrote this sentence? Tell me you legitimately want to fight zombies and absolutely nothing else and I'll laugh and point you towards plenty of games where you can PvE until your heart stops beating. Because this isn't one of them. The line I quoted has no relevance to the notion that people play as Bandits because they don't care, it is just going down the bandit route of assuming everyone that doesn't shoot on sight is a "CareBear" It doesn't matter what your quote was in reply to, if you say something stupid like this I will call you out on it. As I said, No-one wants PvP out of the game, just more diversity. -

discombobulated replied to privatewolf's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There is no logic in your post, I am wondering why you made it. No-one (with any credibility) wants PvP to be out of the game, but some people want more of a balance, where it's not an almost certain of how a situation will be played out. I find having diversity to a game brings more fun, than just expecting to shoot the next person you see. But sure, like you said, mentality. It's just a shame that half the worlds population has the mentality of a child, and can't comprehend trying a different route other than the easiest. -
Note-pads, pencils, and camping tents.
discombobulated replied to Muncywolverine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hi my name is N0T3BK, also known to my friends as NoteBook! Or I would have, if any of them were still alive, or had existed in the first place! (If you get this, you have probably been playing as little of DayZ as I have in recent days). If I found someone else's tent: "I say thank you for the free supplies, but so as to make sure you didn't feel too depressed about being robbed, I replaced everything in here with another little note telling you what I did with the item." Such as: "This ammo you had stocked up on, It didn't fit my gun, as I thought it was useless I dropped all of it about a mile away in another tent, I forget which direction." Or: "I really liked your gun, but since I had already moved the ammo I thought I would just put it in the lake. No, not that one pretty close to you on the map... A little further in the opposite direction... Further... Further... Ah there we go. Yes I know it's technically the sea, but meh." Even as far as: "The NVG's you left me are awesome, it's like they were designed to help you see at night. Shame I only use day servers. I thought for safe keeping I would put them in the fire stations in Elektro." Possibly: "I never even saw satchel charges in this game until this point, The explosion they made was awesome. Ever heard of the Nursery rhyme hey diddle diddle? Well, MOST of the cow got over the moon, I'd say at least 77% of it." -
Ridable/edible horses
discombobulated replied to Osaka (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Good idea, but if they were anything above very rare, then there would have to be downsides, such as the horse getting spooked by gunfire, either galloping off if you're shot at while on the ground, or rearing up and bolting if you're riding them. This is the sort of thing that could be awesome. Also not 100% on this, but horseshoes were designed so the horses didn't hurt their feet for prolonged use on roads, so possibly not necessary if it's only out in the countryside, but if venturing into a town you would need a set. -
Community Dying? Too many hackers?
discombobulated replied to Pauijay's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
What would you even do in a SP version of this? And everyone knows BF is about the MP, the SP sucked, yes, but it didn't ruin anything, what did ruin BF3 was the fact that after a year of it being out, and several patches, they still can't seem to get their game right, it's as if EA and DICE don't even play their game. -
Zombie killcount and murders...
discombobulated replied to nudedude's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ok, I don't see your point in posting that, I never said I hadn't survived those types of situations, I just said that I find it irritating when the first hit after you drop below 9K is the one that knocks you out, so I wouldn't mind knowing when that threshold is. Again, I am well aware that Zombies are not much of a threat, I know how to handle myself. That doesn't mean that shit doesn't happen. You could be the biggest badass on DayZ, but it doesn't make you immune. All it takes is a lucky (or glitchy) hit from a Zed and you're down. It is stupid to have a threshold for something, if you're not able to work out where it actually is. -
Zombie killcount and murders...
discombobulated replied to nudedude's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Except the fact that a Zombie is almost bound to knock you out when they hit you. This is the point I was getting at, if you missed that, then I really don't know what else to say. I play solo a lot, so getting KO'd by a Zed can actually be fatal, seeing as is takes a couple of minutes to get back up and get the Zeds off you, that's providing you don't get KO'd as soon as you regain conciousness anyway. -
Zombie killcount and murders...
discombobulated replied to nudedude's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Actually I would prefer to have the blood level count back in, seeing as now I can't tell if a zombie is going to knock me out or not if they get too close (It's Sods Law, as soon as my blood drops one less than 9000 I get Joe Calzaghe'd to the face and end up dying from it). I didn't realise it could be turned back on, and I don't necessarily want the whole debug monitor, maybe just some noticeable difference in the blood HUD, so I can plan to lose the zombies without them getting too close. I know it get's steadily Redder the more blood you lose, but that doesn't help when there is no noticeable difference between the HUD at 9100, and 8900. -
Why is the M14 so overlooked?
discombobulated replied to Inception.'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I see a lot of people preferring the FAL to the M14 (not necessarily here, just the people I've come across) and aside from the burst fire (which probably does nothing but waste super rare ammo at distances) there is nothing good about the FAL that isn't better on the M14. Personal preference anyway. I am now wondering whether on my main character I want an M24 and M14, or DMR and M14, I can play on both day and night servers, I have the NVG's, so night servers would probably be better suited, but I love the M24, definitely my preferred choice over the DMR. Oh and to add I don't set up camps or anything, I'm not too fussed about having to start all over. And if worst comes to the worst I have the location of a camp site I can "borrow" some stuff from if need be. Decisions, Decisions. -
Lol, it probably wasn't the people who created the camp that marked its position, rather the guy that comes across it and loots what he needs from it.

Never found a big vehicle cache, but what I did find was a private hive server I decided to join the other day had every vehicle in its spawn point, was quite fun running through Elektro to see a chopper on the roof of the hospital, a bus at the station, then in Cherno saw more buses and vehicles. In fact, because the server was quiet, I ended up going from Elektro to Balotta, and back to Elektro again, then after finding me a Bicycle I went up to Stary, and all the vehicles were there as well. Probably due to the vehicles not saving glitch. Or it was a server wipe and restart, and I was first on the scene. I would have enjoyed it had I been able to find any vehicle parts I needed. Only found 1 Tyre through all my searching, and several bits of scrap metal, woop. The story ends with me getting KO by a damn zombie. I don't mind not having the debug monitor, but when I don't know if I am going to get knocked out or not, it's a little irritating.

How do you play? Controller or Keyboard/Mouse?
discombobulated replied to Bruin (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I love to play on my Xbox360, always like consoles, but nothing in the world would make me want to play with a controller on the PC. I just use my in-built laptop keyboard, I will upgrade to a better one, or maybe a gaming pad, but I have no need yet. My mouse is a Fierce 500Dpi laser gaming mouse 2, was probably a little expensive, but with 4 extra programmable buttons, and being able to change my DPI on the fly, it works for me. It is pretty big compared to a lot of mice, but works -
Rarest weapon you've found?
discombobulated replied to jdan0327's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Everyone going on about how the AS50 isn't rare, if there were no duping then there would be an actual small number of any of the high end mil weapons in the game. I have Legit found about 5 FAL's, none with the NV scope, Bizon SD, M249SAW, M14 AIM, AS50, L85A2 AWS, That's about all I can think of that I have found myself at Heli Crash sites, rather than a duped version in a random tent. -
Why Bandit skins are a terrible idea.
discombobulated replied to RaxUK's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Murder is murder, trying to justify it by saying he is a bandit in fact makes you a worse person than the guy who kills indiscriminately. I'm not sure where you live but there was a story a while back in England of a farmer who shot a burglar in the back who was running away. The guy clearly was not a threat any more, so why did the guy shoot him? Because he felt justified to do so. Unfortunately for him the courts disagreed with that completely and sentenced him to murder. In this situation you would do the same as well I assume? You can't justify killing someone when they are not a threat to you. There is always a way to do something without killing, since you already have the upper hand, keep an eye on him until he starts to leave the area himself, then keep watching until he disappears over the horizon. I'm not saying that you shouldn't kill in self defence, but putting a bullet into the back of someone's head is not self defence. Justice, lol and you're better than the murderer by killing them? Please don't try and be smart by telling me to go play a child's game, I think you should review your own philosophy if you are incapable of understanding the difference between murder and self defence. -

A remake would be awesome, I would buy it. But I will stick to the originals happily. Yeah, and I'm still one of them, I would have something better to do but I'm stuck at work for the next 30-60 minutes, lol. Ah God that picture is freaky, who on Earth wants to tattoo their eyeball? -

discombobulated replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ah there we go, I found the problem, the game is too hard. I mean, who wants a survival game that is difficult to play? People don't hack because a game is too hard, go and play COD4 and tell me that people hack on that because it is a really difficult game to play. Clearly you don't understand what this game is, or how to play, or otherwise you wouldn't dream of bringing up how difficult it is (which it's not actually). Also the game is not broken, sure, there are glitches and bugs that can be frustrating, but if someone has to mention the fact that it is an Alpha again the world might just implode. And will you please actually answer my question about what you think people would even do in this game if everything is just given to them? Well, I'm sure when everyone has the power to do it the chances of it happening will be slimmer...? -

discombobulated replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I agree with everything you say, but I'm afraid it's probably falling on deaf ears. Probably would be a good idea to lock the thread and let it die out, it's clearly a case of idiots, or trolls, either way logic seems to have no impact on them. -

discombobulated replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well it happened if BFBC2 as well, I say let them. No high end guns are any better than the low end guns in the games. If people think they're going to be better because they have the last unlocked gun in their hands, then they have a surprise waiting when I kill them with my M4A1. This is entirely different though, this is giving people a chance to play God, against other Gods, and not even in a good way like Black and White. Everyone would be able to reach "End-Game" status with no effort and no satisfaction. There would be nothing left to do, not even shooting people, because hey, we would all have God Mode, we wouldn't be able to die, or kill. Sounds fun? Er, no, not really.
