    First Interaction with an Armed Player up North

    I know about the bug. I eventually found the SKS, actually, but I ditched all my ammo. I figured 1 round was better than none. Also, I love the Mosin.

    First Interaction with an Armed Player up North

    I was 20 feet away from the jail complex, and running towards it would mean running next to the guy. I wanted to minimize contact.

    lack of appreciation

    He was one of those losers who realize they have nothing to lose, so take a 1/1000 chance to try and steal gear from those who help them.

    My unlikely KOS hero

    It was a sarcastic GIF to show how everyone wants to get a female gamer's attention. Then of course, female gamers are badasses in their own right. Rising against what has become normal of only males playing "violent" video games such as DayZ takes more balls than a pool table.

    Realistic Zombie Behavior - and Birds !

    In Vietnam, practiced snipers would lay down grains of rice. If anyone came near, any birds feeding on the rice would fly away, which could be used as a way to detect an intruder. This would be a nice feature in DayZ, I feel. But, to counter that tactic, American snipers would throw twigs at the birds, and then flank around to catch the enemy sniper off guard.

    So I feel kinda bad now....

    If he called you a troll, he obviously wouldn't be a good friend. A REAL friend will still be your buddy, even if you stab him 37 times in the chest. I learned that just yesterday, actually. We're good friends, but my friend seems really quiet...

    More Punishments for low Quality Items

    Just a note, I did use the search feature before this topic, but I did not find anything like it. If this has already suggested, my bad, but this is mainly an opinion-based thread on what should happen to your items if they have a low quality.) I know that the quality of an item will have more effects in the future, but I've thought over a few negative effects of having bad-quality items, such as a ruined M4A1 or Mosin. Weaponry; (Weapons won't have any major negative effects if they aren't pristine besides a slight warp in accuracy, but that changes once they become damaged or lower) Damaged: Warp in accuracy, increase in recoil, recoil could start bouncing to the left or right. Badly Damaged: Fairly obvious warp in accuracy, bullets could missfeed, or the gun could lock up (Causing a slight chance of misfiring, delayed firing times or increased bullet drop, both vertical and horizontal), and unusual recoil patterns Ruined: Powerful accuracy warps, the gun could go off early, or misfire, the trigger system could break (Causing the gun to become useless until you can find replacement tools. I think a "Gun Repair Kit" would fit perfectly for damaged parts of a gun due to ruined status), the magazines could misload, as well. Clothing/Backpacks; (At levels like worn, backpacks would make slightly more noise while you move, and clothing articles could lose camo efficiency, or start greying out etc) Worn: Slight grey patches in clothing, which could diminish camo aspects, or make your sexy red T-Shirt slightly less sexy Damaged: Clothing could lose 1-2 slots of pocket inventory, and parts could sustain holes in them, damaging the camo aspect. Backpacks could lose a few slots of inventory space, and they could bounce around more when moving (If that would be possible. It's only my opinion. It wouldn't be worth it if it caused lag, or glitches etc). Badly Damaged: Clothing could have sizable holes and tears in it, severely diminishing the camo capabilities of clothing, or making you look like a wookie. Backpacks could lose about 5-10 inventory spaces, and have a VERY small chance of dropping a small item such as a stick, or a can of tuna, or a bit of spare ammo for a Mosin rifle. Ruined: Clothing has large, very noticeable holes and tears in it, and backpacks could lose about 15 slots of space. This could be patched up with something like a Sewing kit. There could be an invisible "experience" factor in Sewing too. If you've never patched anything up, but try to fix a ruined TtSkO jacket, you might have a chance to screw it up entirely, or only repair it a little. But, if you've fixed up a bunch of backpacks, you would have a decent chance of fixing it perfectly. But, you'd have no way to tell your experience in it, as that might break immersion. Food Items; This one is fairly obvious. The lower the condition, the higher the chance of dropping some of the food if you break it without a can opener, or the food could simply drop out of the can at lower ratings. Also, the lower the rating, the higher chance of it rotting. Remember, this is just my opinion on how item degrading should work. This is subject to change, and may not be 100% accurate for the game. Thanks for understanding. edit- text wall woooo re-edit- NAILED IT! Thanks to - Karma -, I fixed its shit up on Notepad, and pasted it. Only problem is that tab still doesn't seem to show. Thanks, guys. <3 you

    More Punishments for low Quality Items

    I did use the BB mode toggle, that's the thing. It's how I tipe bro..... wait a second... I don't even need to use it anymore. lifecomplete But, hey. At least I know how to post videos though.

    More Punishments for low Quality Items

    Well, I tried logging out and back in, but still, nothing. At least I can type normally without BBcode now. I think it's something with my computer dying. It's been screwed up lately. Can't look at anything that's dark or my monitor blackscreens, randomly crashing on youtube videos, errors etc. I'll try downloading word and fixing this. Thanks for your help I suck at making posts. I derailed this thread harder than a metro during a tornado.

    More Punishments for low Quality Items

    If anyone knows how to fix the paragraphing glitch, could they tell me? I can't type when I'm out of special BBcode mode, but if I press "TAB", it won't paragraph. It just selects the "post" button. I did try to paragraph it to the best of my abilities, but with that glitch, it's almost impossible for me to do anything other than type. I can understand if it's hard to read.

    More Punishments for low Quality Items

    Some glitch prevents me from paragraphing. If I go out of "special BBcode" mode, it won't type. I'll try, though And, thanks. c:

    Ak 47/74's in game.

    AKs are generally VERY common in Russia, so it makes sense they'd be here. But, they don't sport many attachment. Usually a grenade launcher at MOST.

    the good, the bad and the dumb

    I hate it when people attempt to rob you when you're unarmed. It's gone from cool, to obnoxious and unfair.

    That'll teach you to take potshots at a guy with no pants!

    HOW TO USE THE WEAPON CLEANING KIT- DayZ Standalone

    Fire it 10 dozen times. That'll lower its rating, if you gots the ammo for it.

    They may be ruined, but they'll still be pretty <3

    M4 Acog Scope Glitch

    Mow your lawn. That should get rid of the pesky grass. It's likely just the grass in your scope. Moving your attachments actually moves the grass, fairly realistically. This kind of thing would happen IRL if you were prone. Is it ONLY with the ACOG scope?

    Bandits are NOT ruining DayZ

    Found the video that inspired the bandit basement club, but it had some naughty words in it. I'll spare the mods this time....

    Helicopter Takedown! (chopper V.S Lmg)

    This is okay, but I've taken down a chopper way faster before. With a knife. EDIT- Gotta say. That was an amazing kill. That guy has a right to be mad about how lucky you got with killing him, but he just went full retard.

    Sig Sauer P226...

    Interesting, concidering the P226 is the regulation handgun for NAVY SEALS, and some marine troops. I still prefer the M1911 handgun though. More stopping power in it.
  22. The Aquatic Land Walrus

    Loads of IMPORTANT suggestions.

    One word: Alpher Most of these ARE coming in the future, especially the updates. Give the guys a chance. Bandit/hero skins didn't work in the mod, really, so I doubt they'd be added. Patience, young grasshopper.

    HOW TO USE THE WEAPON CLEANING KIT- DayZ Standalone

    Interesting. A weapon cleaning kit can fix a hole in the gun, theoretically? One hell of a kit. It should be renamed to "Weapon Cleaning Kit +2".

    Someone explain zeroing to me!

    Zeroing: Say the zeroing of a rifle is set to 300. At 300 meters, the bullet will impact in the center of your scope. Say you see someone at 500 meters away, you should set your zeroing to 500 so that the bullet hits where the center of your scope is pointed. If you were to set it to 200, the bullet would start to drop earlier. Zeroing basically means when the bullet will start to drop off. Despite that, you can't set it to 900 and expect to hit the guy while aiming right at him, as the bullet would fly over. If your rifle could only zoom to 400, you'd aim 1 mil-dot above him (The little dots above and below the center of your scope). So, shooting with a 1000 zeroing at a target 50 meters away will make the bullet fly over him.
