I would say the AKM is superior to the Winney, like dekciW saids, 30 shots in the magazine and the projectile is 7,62mm which has significantly more stopping power compared to other assault rifles 5,56mm. Ammunition wise I agree, you'll find more for the winney but, depending on playstyle, you probably aren't using your main weapon all that often compared to your sidearm. Assaultrifles do have fire rate, range and precision in their favour but the winney is a damn good 'all around' companion.

Thought it was cool till I read that you crashed the chopper, what a waste. Hopefully the respawning works on that server. 'Our' server doesn't have any choppers currently because of theft and crash (think it's a respawn bug, admin is informed). Aside from all that, nice steal and screenshots :cool:

Nice catch/fraps. What a shameful show of gratitude for Rockets MOD.

Go road flares, I dare you :cool:

Military tents have been added to at least Berezino and Chernogorsk, 3 Airstrips, Stary Sobor and the deer stands. Pretty easy to get quiet 'shopping' done now a days. The barracks at NW is according to the 3rd party loot sheet the only place you'll find NVG's and the finest gucci pew pew but honestly, you have a better chance finding that of a corpse than in the barracks. The rest is easily found all over the map, salted with a bit of luck of cause.

I admire your playstyle mate. When I die, it is usually after a long trip, like when I logged in today and got instantly shot - 10 day character with nothing but high end gear literally - corpse now resting in some player's wet dream. I take my deaths VERY hard (just ask my mates lol), probably because I strive to get partially worthless gucci gear. Perhaps I should try your approach :blush:

http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2085 You do have ARMA Operation Arrowhead right? If the map is missing, a complete reinstall might be in order.

Buy the T-shirt when it comes up for sale.

It's always been like that, all the way back to Operation Flashpoint, hardcore fans deal with it. 2 months ago, before DayZ, there was only 2000 players TOPS still playing. Other awesome MOD's are struggling to stay alive because of the low player base. Let's hope they've done a good job with ARMA 3 but for now there isn't much to be done about it.

Vehicles, tents, wirefence and sandbags are saved - by the specific server. Sharing that across servers would clutter up the world in a matter of hours, so no thanks. 5-10 servers? I don't think your in touch with the exploding amount of interest this MOD has and the fact that ARMA doesn't t run very well with more than 50-100 players on each server. And take a deep breath before posting next time.

TrackIR is a fairly expensive 'toy' but I haven't regretted my purchase at all. The software included is second to none and includes some really nice hotkey options. Had my set shelved for a couple of months not playing ARMA (lacks support for most game titles) so I had to reinstall ARMA just to use my beloved 'toy'. - then I found dayZ... rest of the story is just bells and whistles :)

What about... http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=658 http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1233 using suggestion section, salted with a more describing thread subject... OT: No thanks, it's healthy to take breaks from your game, no need to punish that.

Patrolling most of the map basically, 1-2 each day. Whenever dying I try to find a compass in the nearest town to where I'm spawning and head directly to one of my teams rendezvous away from the coast. Wilderness is comforting but most excitement happens in the towns so I guess I'm 50/50.

PM sendt to Griff, do you want it too Oilman? Edit: roger, adressed to Griff then

Server jumping for loot? I doubt that is too much of an issue considering the time it can take entering a server these days. I'm pretty sure most people stick to the server they're on. But hey, if you decrease the loot pawns, maybe people WILL start server hopping to get gear? There has been quite a lot of complaints about missing loot the last few weeks, I see no point in lowering it further. Use the whole f'king map instead of camping the main cities - then your 'life value' increases significantly.

The Chester was fairly overpowered all around. Haven't tried the new version yet but sounds like well justified fix. *Gently strokes my Reminton 870* (Wondering if I still have 1014 pellets for that when I come online)

So I found a Reminton 870 (Flashlight) in a Deer Stand but would like to take it to the 'shooting range' to get more familiar with it and make a decision whether I want to keep it. Loading up the editor gives me one problem though, can't seem to find it (it's name) in the Object Library so don't know the string needed to equip it. Tried the different weapon crates too but only found the Benelli M4 [M1014] inside crates. Does anyone know it's name in the editor? and the 2 types of ammunition, slug and pellets? The simple question is whether it's exactly the same damage as the Winchester I guess, but since it's only a 8 round magazine I am hoping it's stronger. And last but not least, whether the amount of pellets in a 1014 round is the same as a 1866 round? Just to be absolutely clear: This is a EDITOR question and has nothing to do with the Live servers! edit: elaborated my own post a bit

Yes sir, Armory works thank you. Now I just need to figure out if the Pellets are the same as the 1866 round. (would still like to have the library name of the gun and ammo for the editor, so I can try it on a buddy) Testing it all out leads to another question: Having both Pellets and Slugs in the Armory I can change on the fly (with the scroll menu) I don't think I got that option in DayZ do I?

Aah, didnt think of the Armory, just tried the Editor... BRB :P

When I reply/create a post I seem to be missing the MyCode tags above the window I'm typing in, to format text, insert images and so on. Tested on Fully updated Firefox and Chrome. Anyone else have this problem?

Oh my O_o Chills down my spine :)

Our team has gone from survival to 'making a living' and creating a little community. Once you get familiar with tents and vehicles you CAN take it to another level. It is (the popular term) farming when we go to a town with a hospital to get medical supplies or to a military camp to rearm but the whole point is that your being saved every time you log out. That's where dayZ wins! Now it's your own job to be creative.

I take it for what it is, a MOD for ARMA. Like all the other MOD's it will become repetitive in one form or another. Played a lot of them and always find my self doing the same things over and over again. Yes, dayZ will easily become repetitive but what game isn't? really! My drive mainly comes group play, doing something organized with your team and just being in a voice chat sharing a common interest. My advice is to hook up with your friends or visit the Survivor HQ and find some. Whenever your fed up with playing, take a break and get some fresh air. Sooner or later you'll want another go at it.

Good news Rocket, especially the "find skins around the world", great way to add an extra touch to established teams - and the general versatility. Curious to see if the forum explodes in tears with the removal of the Bandit. I'm a little sad it benefits the mindless murderess but your numbers are probably correct; the murderess are definitely out there but they are not ruining the game. Let's Ginnie pig this and see where it leads :)
