I promise I'll think about it.... then I'll bury your precious Mary Ann along with your body. That is the respectful thing to do, is it not?

Yeah, 'cause quotes around a single word can't be used to change context or make it intentionally ambiguous. /sarcasm Don't be dumb, Sparky. If you log in and find your weapon gone you would say: 'My DMR disappeared!?! OMG! This is like the worse DayZ moment ever! All my work on my ranging curves is WASTED! I'm gonna go to the forums and make a whiny post about how I'm quitting DayZ because of it.' You would have no idea if it was a bug or if it was removed on purpose. I found it condescending that you assumed I didn't know how items can get destroyed through normal gameplay. I suppose that I can be rude but only to people that come off sounding like know-it-all douchebags. Besides, this is the mod. Hacking will always be present and, by extension, L85s will be spawned in for quite some time because someone could claim it's been in a tent for months. Just look at how prevalent the AS50 TWS became. I doubt that normal gameplay will be enough to substantially decrease the inventories relative to active players in a reasonable amount of time.

Duh... Everyone with a reasonable knowledge of this mod's mechanics could tell you that. Hence why I find it odd that Ander would spend the time to say that. And if that was his true meaning, why say it in such a cryptic way??? Maybe I'm chasing a ghost - who knows? Only Ander...

Beans for Bricks. Just zombies hitting on the run would change the predominant looting tactics drastically. Hey OP, WarZ has pay to win... :P No beans for you! :emptycan: I'd give you a granola bar but then I'd have to shoot you for it from across the map with my railgun "sniper rifle."

Is it just me or did he basically say that they're gonna delete existing L85s at some point in the future?

Edit 2: Nice job with the necro Orgunas. Ya got me... From the Server Hosting Rules posted on another section of this forum: "You are permitted to kick for illegitimate weapons/items not intended to be in the game, however please remember, many players do not and should not be expected to know every item that is legitimate and as such we would prefer you do not ban for this." Notice that they do not explicitly forbid banning for illegitimate weapons. This applies only to public hive servers. If this was a private hive, ask the admins or check any website listed in the join messages. I've seen private servers ban for picking up weapons that were legitimate but very likely spawned in (tent full of high Mk48s and AS50s in the middle of Electro the day after a hive reset). Edit: This particular ban ended up getting reversed but it took a bit of talking. As always, use questionable stuff at your own risk.

AKM for sure. Went head to head @ 2m with a guy that was using an MP5 in the top of a fire station. He was on the trigger much quicker than I was but I still won. IMO the sights and any fire rate advantage that the Kobra might have don't make up for the damage that the AKM will put out.

I used 99% instead of 100% to give all the know-it-alls a place to (erroneously) put themselves and hopefully not spout pointless rage. Damned if I do, damned if I don't I guess. And I'm NOT gonna be alone... Bubba and me are bros, yo. I even dated his sister for a minute after high school. He's not the type to sit in front of computer so I'll tell ya, she gave me quite the education back in the day! ;) Her name was Sue-Ann but everyone called her 'SOOOoooie' for the reason y'all are thinkin. Bigger girls definitely try harder!

Don't have a screenie to post but I'm guessing just south of the Pik Kozlova peak facing east.

Bubba and his 50 cousins are gonna turn y'all into fertilizer for his tomatoes as you drift out of the suburbs. I'll be okay 'cause I installed and maintain Bubba's wind turbines but the rest of you sissies are fucked. Gonna have me some delicious tomatoes the year after the apocalypse hits! :lol: On a more serious note... often seeing your comrades get hit is worse than killing. None of the guys I know talk about the insurgents they killed. They talk about the buddy who got torn in half or the little girl that got caught by a ricochet. Not to say the killing can't come back to haunt years later, but there are other events that can cause more immediate impact. 99% of you guys don't have a clue what you're gettin all high and mighty about - on both sides of the argument.

Did you even read the threads that oppose your view? The only way to avoid some version of deathmatch is to remove the ability to kill players. No one wants that for DayZ so we'll just assume pking will always be present. As long as pking is possible there will be some version of deathmatch. So the real question becomes, what type of deathmatch do we want for DayZ? No forced visual identifiers gives us free-for-all deathmatch. Skins give us team deathmatch. With the skins, you still have the vast majority of the population still being unknowns. You've said it yourself, survivors might kill you when they see you or they might not. It's that uncertainty that we want in every encounter. Knowing that 99% of your encounters will end in a firefight is bad. Just as bad is knowing that 99% of heroes that you meet won't shoot you unprovoked. Seriously, if you can come up with a system that regulates pking effectively enough to take the game away from one these deathmatch modes without breaking immersion (forced skins/tags/etc.) someone will pay you a lot of money for it. Other games have tried to find this before but have ultimately resorted to skins or failed to sustain the balance. Until someone figures out the magic formula, you're gonna have to accept forced skins because the majority of us don't want FFA DM (which is basically what everyone means when they tell someone to go back to CoD). Anyway, if this doesn't clarify things for you someone else will have to break it down for ya. I'm off to kill some bambis (no, not the DayZ kind).

Porn music... or "Stayin Alive"... or Meg Ryan in the deli.

Fixed that for ya... Honestly and all BS aside, when I read your post my first thought was "This guy wants WarZ." Incidentally, the first two weeks of WarZ alpha were perfect example of what happens to a "sandbox" game without consequences. Kinda, yeah. Now you tell me how terrible/noobish/carebearish we all are for wanting that. Then I say that you're a complete idiot for not seeing how this can enrich the gameplay. To which you reply, "But, but I want moar HATS!!! And cool masks, and bullet proof vests and awesome skull skins for my AS50. I'll even pay Rocket extra for them." Come on Dreygar, lets keep this spiral going straight to The Graveyard.

This is incorrect. Given the same angle from the horizontal, aim point correction is essentially equal for uphill and downhill shots. The velocity effects that you refer to occur but are offset by the opposing effect on the drag forces as the bullet travels through air of different density.

Welcome to western society. The values have been carried over by the players and there's nothing you can do about it - except get your entertainment elsewhere. A vigilante skin is a good idea though. LOL... you just said "Give us moar HATS!!!" You just don't get it. I don't think you ever will.
