BiGoDeViN (DayZ)

You never want a real weapon? I'm guessing you're not an American?

The Bible. Hell yeah.

"Chivalrous KoSer"

That's happened to me more than enough times. Especially with the new zeds. Bound to end up smacking a friend with an axe.

To me, this is geared. I don't like TTsKO stuff personally. It says "I KoS, please kill me" to me. So I usually run this stuff. I use the SKS because it's by far my favorite rifle. I don't like the M4 because of how shitty is without attachments. And the Mosin is too precision based. I had a Magnum but I gave it to a buddy in my crew. Haven't found a sidearm to replace it yet. Not that I really need it.

So, story time. Me and a buddy are running through Elektro. We get to the school house and someone opens fire on us. I'm thinking a .22 because my friend ate a few and was still standing. I get visual and shoot our assailant. Dsync fucks with it and he disappears. So we regroup and patch up and move out. We get to the Grocery store and we both get popped and dropped. I'm unconscious and my friend is dead. I'm sitting there waiting, I was fully geared and had lived quiet a while. But I only end up waking up. I patch myself up and run off. The part that pisses me off is all of my gear was on me. Nothing was ruined accept my chest shit. And all of my decent stuff was in my pack anyway. He KoS'd, whatever. But despite the fact he was on top of us, he made no attempt to take anything. I don't understand why? Is he just looking for a fight? Like, what's the point? Why shoot me for no gain other than killing?

I'm glad "Survivor - do what I must to survive" is an option. Day Z is pretty grey and just because you kill someone doesn't make you a Bandit. I've had to kill a Bambi or two. Sometimes they don't listen and you have to put them down. Me and my group had to today. 2 co-operated and would have left there alive with some food and water. But the 3rd one kept running around. Since they were all friends, we had to put them all in the ground. Do what you must. Anyway, story time's over. Sweet thread, broski.

Gonna need morphine. If your leg is busted up like that (but can still run) you still need morphine. Maybe two, not sure if one will cover both that and your broken arm. And your arm will effect aiming. Also gonna need a buddy to give you some Saline. Because you're pretty banged up. I suggest going to the Trusted Medics of the Wasteland thread mentioned earlier. They've helped me before. Good service.

Yeah, similar thing happened to me a month back. I was a new spawn and ran into a geared player. Told him I was friendly and we teamed up. We went to go find his friend and they spared me some gear. We went to fight some Bandits and ended up dying. Now we all play together on Skype almost every night.

I'd help but I smell a big pile of bullshit.

The fun? Knowing you helped someone. I don't know about you, but helping people feels nice. Giving bums money, giving a drunk guy on the streets a ride home. It's the thought of knowing you helped someone. Yeah, in DayZ you lose stuff. That's the point. Going around popping off rounds will only eventually get you killed. Then you lose everything. And being a hero doesn't always mean just giving shit away. It means helping people. Killing Bandits who are torturing a Bambi. Or holding someone up. Once you have everything, it gets boring. But instead of just KoSing everyone, you can do something else with your character. Not that I think KoSing is bad. But your point is that "there's not much to do but KoS" when there's plenty to do. If everyone just KoS as soon as they're geared, it becomes pointless. Unless you get people like the TWM or freelance Heroes.

That's silly. There isn't much meta game in DayZ but killing on sight isn't the only thing to do once geared. You can join the TWMs, become a Hero or be a true Bandit and try and hold people up. There's plenty of other shit to do besides "kill da carebarez lmao get rekt #FazeClan"

Did you live from that shit? Anytime I got launched off, I always landed on hard ground.

I never really made a major Karmic choice. But one day, after I died on a character I had kept alive for a long time, I ducked down on the coast to message a friend on Steam, and through the overlay I seen a guy. I quickly get out and stand up. We chat and such, he was pretty geared and it was one of the first times I seen a geared player not KoS a Bambi. So he tells me to lead so he can watch me, and we go off to find his friend. We all meet up, and they give me a gun. We get into a Skype together and everything. We headed to Sniper Hill in an attempt to take out a sniper up there. Well, a bad situation and everyone dead on both sides later, I have two friends who I've been playing DayZ with for a months now. Not really a Karmic choice. But I could've killed them but instead made two good online friends who I play with on a regular.

I'm gonna need those pants.

Thanks, man. I actually haven't seen any season 4 stuff, yet. I only know she exists because of Memebase. And they already spoiled a bunch of season 4 shit for me, so no spoilers, pl0x. :)

Man, that's not all that decked out. M4 is a shit rifle without attachments, and you didn't even have a magazine for it? Shit, man. Anyway, don't let this community or that death discourage you. It happens. We've all died a silly death because we didn't do the right thing at the right time. Especially when we first started.

The other day, me and my crew were rolling through Elektro. Shit got pretty hectic, pretty fast. Definitely a lot more action than before. Just needs some polishing.

1. Eh, seems like way too much work. The camera part seems a little silly too. 2. I actually really like this idea. There's already big rock formations. And with rain soon-to-be an actual factor, having caves to take refuge in would be great. 3. Eh, seems a little too much like Rust. If they ad the base gear like in the Mod, I think that'll be enough. 4. I'm all for more survival, but player homes would be a bit silly, IMHO. 5. I like this idea, too. When Heli's are added, they should be able to fix up an old spotlight and put it on there. It'd make night time servers fun as hell. 6. I suppose if they fixed it up, maybe. Still a little out of the Apocalypse area, though. 7. Sounds like a lot of work but it'd be funny as all hell. I think the torch thing would be a great addition. 8. I agree. The Swamps are already creepy. Should be a layer of fog on them during rain hours. And on high spots like Green Mountain. Talk about fucking creepy.

Primary - SKS w/ PU Scope (I'm not a big fan of the M4 and the Mosin is good but the LRS Scope is hard to find) Secondary - Magnum (I love the Magnum.) Hat - Black Cowboy Hat -or- Black baseball cap (Aviators thrown in. Helmets look too Bandity) Vest - UK Assault Vest (Easy to find. I've yet to find a Press Vest or anything else in such abundance) Shirt - Black Hoodie (Sleek and easy to find) Pants - Black Cargo Pants (I feel like the Camo Mil-Spec shit is, again, too Bandity) Boots - Any Combat boots I can find (Or the Oh-So-Sweet Violet Trainers) Bag - Improvised Bag (It sets so close to your back and is already really camo'd. Great bag)

I guaran-fuckin'-By-God-tee ya! Pure gold, man. Pure fuckin' gold!

I suppose you're right. But if they completely remove it, it'll cause all sorts of uproar, IMO. Hell, they changed the Zeds slightly and plenty of people were upset. I can't imagine what solution they'd have though. Without making 3PP a silly choice. Personally, besides "playing Barbie" 3PP is a lot more smoother. Whenever I play FPP, it always feels like I'm a twitchy raccoon. It doesn't make sense but it just doesn't feel as "smooth" as other FPP games do. I can't quite explain it. (That and with my High FOV, I can see my neck hole when looking down. lol)

I don't know. I feel like once the game gets a little more polished and it becomes harder to survive, 3PP won't be such a big a issue. I personally don't see a hard fix for it unless they get up more Hardcore servers for people who wanna play that way. Like how Rust has official PvP and PvE servers. Let's people be happy without causing a bunch of work for the devs. If that makes sense.
