    They're coming. Chill out. You're welcome.

    The Haunted Shipwreck

    I really enjoyed the web comic. Hats off to you. Very nice work!! :)

    Supernatural Shout Out?

    For those visually stimulated, who live under solid aggregates of minerals: They should put that motel on the map for the hell of it.

    I've heard troubling rumours...(no helis)

    I don't really mind helis, if they were in the game. You know that on any given server, they would be the target of heavy fire and be instantly dunked. They've been proven to be a greater threat in the mod. I've personally either downed a heli or taken out the pilot on more than a few occasions in the mod. It's not impossible. People whine too fucking much. If you want minecraft, go play your easy game elsewhere. If you knew how to react, you wouldn't typically get gunned down like you were just caught screwing your best friend's girlfriend.

    This thread has officially inspired me to go fly around in ARMA II in chernarus.

    Farmer Clothing

    In all fairness, I do agree with your post. I thought it was pointless they took that out. Thankfully, a ton of other people feel the same way, so maybe they will change it later.

    Farmer Clothing

    I think they look like clothing that would be worn by children with unhealthy habits. It makes them look cool, so I want them too.

    I bet they do..

    Why should street lights work?

    ^yep, you can. I shoot at the little thing just below the bulb and it usually knocks em out in 1 hit.

    Why should street lights work?

    I was with a friend a couple of months ago and we held a guy up. It was dark. We took him to the end of this dirt road that had a crappy house and a street light. We made him stand in the street light and told him not to move. Then we shot out the street light and told him he was going to die and then ran away. He was pretty freaked out over direct.

    Farmer Clothing

    cowboy hats are sometimes worn in the states by 'cowboy' wanna-be farmer/rural country-folk. So here you'd either be outed as either that, or possibly a homosexual-cowboy-tourist. In either event.... "YEEEEHAAAWWWW!!!"
  12. I've now grouped up with random people, whom I've never met in real life or ever met on the internet before, to fight as a force and survive about 20 times in my DayZ SA career, ranging from 3 players to 15 at a time. All but a couple of those interactions ended very well, at least very well among our group. It may not be the way a lot of people play, but in my experiences, your chances for survival are greatly diminished if you travel alone and are spotted by someone who wants you dead. At least if someone starts firing on you, maximum 1 of you is taken out and the others extract revenge, leaving the killers bloody, lootless corpse hanging out to dry. Unless you're a very skilled lone-wolf, and I personally haven't seen very many of them in the game yet. Again, these are my experiences and I can say that travelling with others who have a good "I've got your backs, I know you've got mine" trust going on tend to rule the map. Also, I'm 32 and played with "Pros" in a few games over the past 5 or so years. I've had no problems keeping up while scrimming with or against any of them, but I simply don't have the time to invest into playing games 24/7 like I did when I was younger lad.
  13. I thought they were waiting another week for a push to stable, with as much stuff as they could cram into experimental, making a bigger patch?

    Have you/have you not seen a hacker?

    I haven't seen the millions of rounds firing off every 10 seconds hackers, but I have see a skipping teleport hacker. he would move really fast over the ground but like he was losing frames. would get from one point to the next about 5 times faster than anyone else could. Then would appear and start firing. Luckily I wasn't killed and just took off from there, but it was really unnerving to see that kind of crap. 130+ hours for me so far and thankfully just the one and it was about a month and a half ago.
  15. Hey, there is nothing wrong with the Fantastic Four!!!

    Aspects that accumulatively wear on your patience in dayz

    Slowing down while walking up a slight incline has to be the most frustrating shit I've ever encountered. *jogging along* "Oh there's a slight hill there. I'm getting shot at so I better book it!" *instantly walking slower than an 80 year old* You are dead. It's far far worse than in the mod. There is some slow-down, but my god, not that much.

    Why should street lights work?

    They're backed with tiny solar panels that haven't completely gone to shit. The soda machine is magical. </end thread>

    Disallowed characters : You have been kicked.

    Any smart clans change their names to names only they know, that look completely normal by other player's standards before raiding a server. If that is their attempt to thwart that, it's pretty futile.

    Farmer Clothing

    Anyone have a character with a flanel shirt, burlap pants, a cowboy hat, no shoes and a shotgun? That's some real backwoods hilljack work.
  20. Coincidentally, this was my exact thought as I clicked on the thread. I approve.

    Farmer Clothing

    That hat with maybe a flanel shirt and torn up jeans/burlap pants would be farmer-time in my opinion. I think the jacket looks nice.
  22. I've played: Arma II, Arma II: OA, DayZ Mod, DayZ Epoch, DayZ Origins and many of the DayZ Mod maps: Utes, Lingor (jungle island based DayZ), Takistan, Fallujah, Namalsk, Taviana and Panthera. My personal favorite off-brand DayZ mods/maps have probably been DayZ Origins (includes the Taviana map), Lingor and Takistan. I've been playing all of DayZ's incarnations since about June 2012

    our map isnt "small" its not "balanced"

    I more or less agree with this. If they would stick 1 or 2 bigger towns way up north or even a little more central north, that gave players a reason to go up there. I feel like you would run into more players in other towns on your trips up there.
  24. I have one of these IRL, (though mine has been modded to somewhat replicate an M24) and yes I can attest to them being pretty beast-mode long range rifles. Not quite the death sentence an AS50 would carry, but I wouldn't be anywhere within 700 meters of a motherfucker with one of these because ouch. Would be awesome to see something like it in the game :)

    Weather

    I think it's quite possible, but it would take a lot of work to get it done.
