Well why would we bother arguing with a child? It gets us nowhere. Intelligent rational posts can lead to a debate about the pros and cons of the current systems. Inane childish ranting just leads to arguments.

Also if you enter a building do not go up or down stairs as that will make you loud enough to aggro zombies over a block away.

Man, we let people like this mix with normal society?

getting the same sound (5 bars) while crouch running and full on sprinting is ridiculous. Also using stairs while crouch walking brings my sound up to 3 bars. That means just going up stairs is pulling zombies from over a block away. Stealth no longer exists.

Sorry that your ping sucks because you're far away and people don't want you lagging up their servers. That's not DayZ's fault though.

I made a video. Seems like there's muzzle flash every time I swing the hatchet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-90W80tpGo8&feature=youtu.be Also I can attest to a rather high improvement in FPS.

Whenever I swing the hatchet it brightens up everything at night for a split second. Like I had fired a gun, it looks like muzzle flash.

Cool argument' date=' bro. I wish I could make such a huge impact in the community like you, just by posting random pictures to troll people. [/quote'] at least he's not being one of those useless whiny bitches we have so many of.

Spawned as a fresh character. Immediately after I picked male or female a zombie that was hanging out on the beach right next to me immediately aggro'd before I even got a chance to move. Noticing there was a house just ahead, I ran up into it in hopes of finding anything to help fight off this zombie. Inside I found a zombie standing blocking the doorway to go in farther. He hits me, breaking my leg on first hit. I'm now trapped in the small entrance, can't move forward because of zombie in the house, can't move backward because of the zombie outside, I can do anything but lay there and wait for death to come to me. Not that I would've wanted to live anyway since the first hit in that life broke my leg. I was nowhere near a hospital and obviously didn't have any morphine.

I've put over 100 hours into this mod now, my crappy laptop runs this at 7 fps or lower during combat. It's certainly playable. It just sucks.

I was playing once and there were two groups of ~10 survivors each having a standoff over a helicopter. They were in the middle of discussing whether or not they were going to have to kill each other over who gets it when shit goes down. Leading to about 15 casualties total from what I could tell. Judging from the discussion after the fight? It all started because one guy misfired. Then again the fight was probably going to happen sooner or later, he just helped speed it along lol.

Well Rocket I did say you were welcome to come in and tell me I'm dead wrong as it was simply my interpretation of things you said :P Well YOU might find attachment in making decisions that you can change on a whim' date=' but a decision that I can't change is something that will always be more important to me then something I can go, "Well I can just change it later if I dont' like it." As for the prejudice thing. So wanting a player to play as the gender they associate with is prejudiced? If you honestly believe that please see my previous statement about you and your insistence on bringing it up. [/quote'] Are you honestly telling me that the choice you just had to make about whether or not to play a male or female character will make the game mean more to you for the rest of time? No but I am honestly telling you that a decision that can be changed at any time will never hold as much weight to me as a decision that cannot be. I can respect that, but whether or not it's removed later technically it has reinforced the stated goal. We're sitting here having a rather in depth discussion about this feature are we not? Haha So because some users have come in here and made prejudiced statements, Rocket is prejudice for having put in a system where you can only choose your gender once(which we now know was just a limitation he met)? That's still not sound logic.

Well Rocket is always welcome to jump in and say I'm completely wrong as this is just my interpretation from his posts' date=' most specifically the one about the greatest movie he's ever seen. He doesn't give a shit about your fun or your enjoyment. What he cares about are evoking emotions from you. Forcing you to question the norms that you're force fed every day. He wants people to really stop and reevaluate things about gaming in general and themselves. Here's a quote So he's imposing a choice on you that normally you don't even give a second thought because you can switch willy nilly. Certainly sounds within his gameplan doesn't it? And please stop trying to push that prejudice bullshit. It comes off as you not being able to come up with reasons to back yourself up so you're pushing for shock value or what have you with it and it's pathetic. And I've repeatedly stated that I think the game will be more effectively able to evoke emotions in many of the players if they're given a little more control at the start of the game to define the character they're going to play. If you are more invested in the character then you will care more about what happens to them. I understand that this makes no fucking sense to you because you are not the sort of person for whom this would be a thing, but then having that toggle makes no goddamn difference to you, so why do you argue so strongly that it should not exist? YOU may not give gender a second thought. When I make characters I think about the character. I do not choose things at random for shits and giggles. Locking in those choices does not make me think more deeply and make the game better, it makes every character I will ever play be the same and that is boring and it makes me not care about what happens to the character. It makes the game less effective at rocket's stated goal of getting me to feel some emotion. Regarding the prejudice thing, the point is that a lot of people are against the idea of even having the female characters at all because they don't like the idea of men playing as women. There is prejudice in that, either gender-shaming men for being "girly" or transphobia about "men who want to be women", or in some cases simple sexism alleging that women don't have what it takes to survive the zombie apocalypse or implications you ought to be able to have sex with them for there to be a point. Rocket said you should stick to playing as your own gender, and I feel that is a stance which is wrong and has its roots in that prejudice if not a misplaced hope about how the players will behave. Well YOU might find attachment in making decisions that you can change on a whim, but a decision that I can't change is something that will always be more important to me then something I can go, "Well I can just change it later if I dont' like it." As for the prejudice thing. So wanting a player to play as the gender they associate with is prejudiced? If you honestly believe that please see my previous statement about you and your insistence on bringing it up.

You are flat out wrong and the devs disagree with you. Btw, if the exploits give you an unfair unintended disadvantage in an online game, it is 100% cheating, that's not a debate that's a fact. It's no different then hacking the game, you're abusing the coding in both scenarios in a way the devs did not mean for it to happen.

I've had bags stay for a while, I've had bags disappear immediately upon being dropped. I'd say don't risk it.

Nah this was a few days ago, and the guy was alone as far as I know. Also definitely didn't see us, we were in the forest with snipers watching him run around like a chicken with his head cut off.

I already knew these things. I still use them interchangeably because it doesn't matter in the slightest.

I enjoy the hunt. I can't think of one time where I've killed outside of self defense, or by stalking and hunting a group of players. Oh no wait, there was one time recently, he had a g17 and I hadn't tried it yet and my friend was being a coward about taking the shot, so I did. But yeah, if it's not in self defense it's usually because I happened upon a group and I was kind of bored so I decided to hunt them. Lone people I'll usually just let go, or offer help of some sort if they need it.

Only' date=' no. It takes 2 kills to get bandit skin if your humanity was close or above 2500. Essentially making your first kill a freebie for self-defense type of situations. [/quote'] Depends on the humanity of the person you shot. I went from 2514 to -3000 in one kill.

The same as before.

Oh you should launch both Arma II and Arma II OA arrowhead before doing something too.

Yeah if you run the installer it should take care of everything on it's own. But just to double check @dayz should be in Operation Arrowhead folder. When you launch from steam choose launch Combined Operations. It should run a command prompt then launch the game.

steam install or what?
