Sure, you gain humanity over time... then you log out and it resets it right back to where it was.

I'm no longer playing DayZ. Better things to do than get killed over and over by script kiddies that were breastfed by their mothers into their twenties.

If I were a new player thinking of buying ARMA 2 to play DayZ, and came on here and saw all the threads about hacking... there's no fucking way in hell I would open my wallet for the game. The threads should stay to save potential new players the frustration of having to deal with the bullshit that ALL OF US are feeling at this point.

I didn't read your giant red font. So I'll just reply with what I think you said. The tastiest water comes from the pond behind the factory, southeast of Polana. I think it has something to do with the chemicals stored there. That and the dead sheep I saw floating in it one day. MMmmmm. Sheep water.

Because one of the scripts they use replaces the gear of everyone on the server with... AS50/M107 M4 SD M1911 All the tools, range finder and night vision goggles Coyote pack and main inventory full of .50 ammo, stanag sd ammo, two canteens, painkillers, epi pen, bloodbags, morphine, a bunch of cooked meat, and one ghillie suit.

It's to all the people who talk down to players of other games. And simulator... fps... they're both video games, not real life, and shouldn't be taken so seriously. They're definitely not a good enough reason to treat other people as if they're inferior.

You're not fooling anyone. You own every CoD game and enjoy the hell out of them, you just say you don't because it's the current hipster douche thing to hate. People always "hate" the most popular things simply to be contrarians.

Like I just posted in another thread... the moment I find a mountain dew, I drop all other objectives and start running directly to green mountain, where I offer it to the mass grave while chanting a prayer to the Old Ones. I also run away from forest chickens. They can't be trusted. They're in league with the goats.

I don't remember where I found it, but it wasn't far from the coast and it was on my first day playing. I drank it because I was thirsty and didn't see another one for at least a month. These days when I find one, I head straight for green mountain and leave it in the mass grave. ia! ia! greenmountain'fhtagn

For me, damage doesn't even enter into it. If you're using a pistol, it's headshot or nothing... all pistol damage is too insignificant otherwise. That leaves accuracy, capacity, and attachments, and my hierarchy is as follows... Suppressed Flashlight High Capacity The only true advantage the M1911 has is the infinite ammo exploit.

M4 with M203.

The community doesn't get better as people quit, because the people who don't quit are the elitist douchbags that talk down to everyone else, proclaiming their superiority because they're sticking it out. The community as a whole is shit.

Basically... ARMA players treat DayZ players in the exact same way that DayZ players treat CoD players. Most of you are too insecure over your game of choice and have to treat others as inferiors for preferring something else. It's actually funny.

Your sig isn't big OR ugly enough. Please replace it with something larger and uglier at your earliest convenience.

I started using the female survivor after finding my first ghillie suit and having it eat my entire inventory, so I took the female skin so I wouldn't make that mistake again until they patched it. But I keep using the female skin for one reason... the breathing and movement sounds. When the male survivors run around, they make all sorts of random noises from their equipment... like an entrenching tool bumping against a canteen with every step and a set of janitor's keys jingling. Once they get winded... they start sounding like that Adam Sandler Fatty McGee Skit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrC9qU6D6xY It just bugs the fuck out of me. The females don't make all that additional noise, and the breathing sound isn't nearly as annoying. The female skin and model is ugly as hell, and looks like an orangutan while running, but I rarely use third-person so that doesn't bother me. I don't really care what I look like, but not having to listen to Fatty McGee makes it worth using.

Nostromo n52 and a macro.

Uh huh. All of them at the northwest airfield, I'm sure.

Plus in a piss poor country like Chernarus there isn't going to be huge quantities of bottled water either... not with the abundance of wells that shows Chernarus has a good ground water table. Most countries don't consume a fraction of the amount of bottled water that America does, per capita, and the United States is barely in the top ten. Also, when you walk into one of those supermarkets, those shelves are bare, and there's just a handful of stuff left over. Bottled water that was in the store would have been one of the very first things to be looted DURING the initial outbreak, long before survivors started washing up on the beach. You'd be more likely to find bottled water hidden in a basement, or in the wreckage of a car than in any of the little convenience stores. That said... I still prefer canteens, but I always top off my thirst with a nice, warm cola.

but... but... but... ultra realism and health issues!

Huh, and here all this time I thought soda had water in it. Now I know! And knowing is half the battle.

It's never happened to me before, which means everyone else is just imagining it!

Yeah, why didn't the inhabitants of Chernarus plan ahead for the zombie apocalypse, with the health of a bunch of assholes washing up on the beach in mind? They should have stocked up on bottled water, and thrown away all their tasty canned beverages... just so the survivors that came next wouldn't get a sugar rush and bad teeth. Derp.

When the key to playing a multiplayer game is to play it in complete isolation... then it's a big fucking failure.

I wouldn't pay a penny for the mod in its current state. I would still buy ARMA 2 combined ops though, because it's got a lot to offer and I like the series. But just for DayZ? No...

Person A kills Person B in self defense... becomes bandit... Person C kills Person A because of a towel... Person C becomes a hero! FUCK YEAH!
