No, I'm just going to look for "ammo". A nice, all-encompassing term that hopefully won't piss anyone off too much. Hah! Finally something we can agree on! No, I loathe the GOP. I'm even going to give you a nice, fat, positive rep point for that one. :P As for my ignorance about firearms, I know more than average simply because I grew up in the southeastern U.S. and my father was an avid hunter and gun collector. However, I dislike guns (and hunting for that matter). And while I do know the difference between a clip and a mag, my point was that there is no reason to get upset with someone who doesn't because you can obviously tell from the context of the game what they mean.

Well, I think most of us assume internet trolls lead a meaningless life, hence their trolling, so many thanks for the confirmation. Perhaps another all caps reply is now in order?

There are already plenty of threads discussing play at night but thank you for the suggestion. Nice to see you've picked up another 6 neg rep points in the past hour. Keep up the constructive feedback.

I also agree their speed is fine but it would be nice to see more realistic running physics. "Space invaders on coke" is a fairly apt description at this point. ;) I believe the 1.5.8 update made it so they aggro around gunfire better than 1.5.7. Rocket seems to be working on their AI a bit so I'm sure they will continue to get tougher.

There have been quite a few complaints along these lines. I'm sure it is something Rocket will continue to improve as he develops the mod, but right now the system in place is very rough. That's alpha for you. :)

Start one troll thread, get laughed out of it, start another troll thread. C'mon guy.

I remember reading in an early review for Day Z they could climb but I've never seen it either. That being said, that 2 seconds or so it takes to actually grab the ladder and start climbing feel like an eternity with 10+ zeds breathing down your neck. :)

The honorable thing to do is start asking on the chat for a friendly with a blood pack, but even if someone volunteers, you'll have to a) safely get to their location between pass outs, and b) trust them to administer the bloodpack without just killing you and taking all your gear. I feel like suicide/respawn is a cheat, but then the chances of pulling off what I describe above are pretty slim. :)

Replies like that are why after 120+ posts you have a -3 rep. It wasn't a smartass reply at all. Not be an ass?

Heh, this reminds me of the poster that got so mad because people were using "clips" and "magazines" interchangeably. If you really want to stop it I think you'd be better off just correcting people as you see it versus creating an entire post about it. I think the military buffs that made up the pre-Day Z Arma crowd need to accept that a bunch of newbies are coming in to kill zombies, not get a history lesson.

Thanks. And to everyone else' date=' please don't see leblackdragon as an "enemy" as he is not, everyone gets carried away in the forums from time to time, me included :s [/quote'] I can get carried away as well but several of those insults were directed at me and you don't use all those words over several posts while complaining that other people aren't being civil. It takes a lot for me to call someone out, but the hypocrisy was a little too heavy on this one.

Just an FYI to everyone: after going through every response he's made to his original post, if you disagree with leblackdragon, you are "childish, a troll, short-sighted, stupid, defensive, disrespectful, clueless, rude, selfish, an idiot, a kid, pathetic, and shallow". However, he would like for you to keep this discussion civil. :)

Ah, I've been misreading that stat the entire time. :) So you aim your gun at someone then don't expect them to aim back at you? How would you react in their shoes? If you have the jump on someone, you can make your presence known and be prepared to aim and fire without aiming your weapon at them. Unless you are dealing with an expert, their first shot, assuming they even spot you, will likely be quick and inaccurate, giving you a chance, as the prepared party, to calmly return fire. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. Quite a number of survivors, if not the majority, seem to have taken the same attitude. I just think things would be a little friendlier for everyone if people didn't assume the worst about every player based on one bad experience.

I like the Alpha design because it's unique for those of us playing the alpha mod. I like the Logo design too but I feel like that's one that can sell forever, so why not sell the Alpha design as long as the mod is alpha, then once it goes beta stop selling it and switch to the Logo design?

1. I had the same issue. Picked up a 1911 that said it had two mags but the mags didn't go into my inventory. My makarov and 6 mags disappeared, but I didn't realize I didn't get the 1911 ammo until I had crawled a ways away. So I crawl back but nothing is there. I swear I ran around another 30 minutes before I found another weapon, but I eventually did. 2. Happened to me as well. Large price to pay, but you survived. 3. Never managed to shake one either. You'll find this game very harsh when it comes to things like falling off ladders, standing in a small space, etc. Sometimes it's just the Arma game, sometimes it's the mod (still in alpha). All I can say is expect to learn the hard way quite a few more times, but I imagine you'll still greatly enjoy the experience. :)

I still don't get why one bad experience turns so many people into bandits. There are 1 million people playing this mod, one guy pisses you off, and now you are going to hold it against the other 999,999 players?

Heh, two posts after my "the main problem is people having one bad experience then turning bandit" post, someone else posts a "one bad experience so now I kill all" story. :)
