Baka Survivor

That scope is very very overpowered so I would like it removed. Also contrary to what most people seem to say, L85 is not inaccurate at all, in fact it is very accurate for an AR if you don't mess with its default zeroing. I had one for a long time and tested it a lot. Only thing it is not good for is close quarters (if you don't have crosshairs) because of the magnifying scope. If it is removed it needs to be banned so that it cannot be spawned by skiddies.

Holding someone at gunpoint and demanding they drop their weapon is an act aggression to me. It's similar to what the old skool bandits used to do. If someone came to me yelling me to drop my gun and threatening with violence if i didn't, I'd take that as an aggressive act for sure. And I would never ever drop my weapon at gunpoint, never, so shootout would follow. Not a good way to make friends at all.

I crouch run and keep my gun lowered for better concealment and for looking less threatening should I be observed or accidentally bump into a friendly player. I frequently use alt to look around and stop quite frequently to listen to the surroundings and catch my breath. If i hear shots I investigate. Surprisingly many times have randomly encountered players in the woods, even on very low population servers. Usually they did not even know I was there as they were sprinting past.

Hero skin mechanic is flawed IMO. I don't see why hero skin isn't just a medic skin in the first place as medical aid is the only way to achieve it. Not by helping others by giving food, equipment, killing bandits, zeds etc. Most probably achieve by repeatedly patching up their own clan buddies anyway. Unattainable to lone wolf who doesn't want to play medic.

I don't think we need magical periscopes in DayZ. Hardcore servers are almost completely unpopulated, which is sad.

How did you get the radio?

What SystemiK just described mathces my experince as well. Saving in the tents works just fine, it used to be bugged so that only the initial save worked. Now it seems that you can pitch a tent easily anywhere, but after the first restart tents may move a bit if they are inside a tree, in the slope, or inside a rock. If that happens your items are destroyed. After the first restart they don't move anymore, hence things stay there. Sometimes tents just don't spawn at all and you'll have to wait for a new restart. Have not and will not try if duping works. I know duping is widespread, but personally I think it is just as bad as hacking items in, it ruins the game. Also if caught by admin providing evidence from the logs it is a bannable offense.

:lol: You might wanna try something else for that. Otherwise, my setup is identical: l85 to be able to see even the ghillie-suited undesirables, proning in the bushes, at night and 1 kilometer away. M14 for effective PvP if needed, M9SD for headshotting zombies that get too close. If i had to keep just one weapon, it would be M14 AIM. Just an all-around beast.

Hey guys, had fun last night playing on your server, decided to try a private hive server for the first time. Found myself wondering how to play in this apparently more tighly knit and perhaps friendlier community with a side chat on and all. I usually play a lone wolf who avoids trouble by avoiding other players, wasn't sure what to do if someone asks "anyone in cherno?" while I was there :P. Stalked some of you guys loot Cherno hospital from roughly 30 meters away, was looting the apartments opposite when suddenly a chick with M14 and roadflares showed up with bunch of guys with vehicles. I guess I should have anounced my presence to meet some friendlies (?), but my chernarus woodhermit instincts took over I just observed what you guys were up to. Anyway, seems like a great server to play on, looking forward to some fun times.

I play on first person servers only, wouldn't mind if there was no option at all for 3rd person. Intense, immersive and hardcore is how I like this mod. Its just too bad that when noob crutches like crosshairs, nametags and magical periscopes are a server option like they are now, it seems impossible to find a veteran/expert server with more than 1-5 people playing.

Well, it is a bit risky to dump your gear as it can disappear into the ground sometimes, someone might take it or the server could restart.

Well, what is he saying exactly? I'm a bit confused here.

True, and actually I wouldn't mind some really HUGE hordes of random zombies in the wild on occasion. Now the woods feel too safe on low pop servers.

From my point of view, you SHOULD get attached to your gear. You have to work hard to earn, you want to preserve it. I approach this game as a kind of survival simulator, not a carefree run-and-gun deathmatch. Permadeath has a meaning only if you have something to lose. What else do you have to lose than your hard earned gear that you spent days or weeks in gathering? Nothing wrong in getting attached to your gear. It is a big part of what makes this so intense and unique. It is also why I am wary of other players. p.s. yeah bugs and hackers may ruin it for you, but it is what it is, I guess.

Yes, apparently tents can move a bit after the first restart if they were placed inside a tree, a rock, in the slope etc. If they move, they destroy stuff inside. After the first restart they won't move anymore, they just vanish every once in a while :rolleyes: If they are destroyed by others, they remain there flattened. So if your tent survives the first restart, and later on there is nothing there, you'll just have to wait for another restart.
