Welcome to ArmA II. I think (not sure) that by pressing 5, you have the option to "Cancel action".

I've found dozens of NVGs, but never in all of my days have I found an SVD.

Absolutely. Bandits are what makes this game what it is. However, bandits are generalized into those assholes who snipe freshly spawned players in Elektro. Those guys aren't bandits, they're assholes. I believe that most people realize this mod would suck if not for banditry. I also used to play on low population servers and went apeshit whenever a bandit killed me. Now, I always go to a server with at least 30 people, or the game just isn't fun.

I hope that standalone brings universal nighttime or something such. I personally love stumbling around with a flashlight.

Yeah, Left for Dead was the first game to implement different types of zombies. If DayZ implemented different types of zombies, it would be Left for Dead. Good call.

My humanity carries over each life, but I always spawn as a survivor, not a bandit. I think that what was intended is that you have a set amount of humanity, but if you decrease your humanity a certain amount each life (2,500, I think) you become a bandit. So you can have -17,000 humanity or whatever and still be a survivor.

Clearly you didn't understand or read the post. In fact, I don't even think you know what this post is about. Go away. Don't read thread -> ignore all presented evidence -> make post

This isn't exactly a revenge story, but I was at the Balota airfield when I heard the glass shatter in the control tower, where I currently was. A moment later an M107 shot rang out. I immediately laid down on the floor and waited. I tried to check the loot piles for a smoke grenade or something so that I could escape but found nothing. All I had was my hatchet and some food and water. A few more M107 shots came in. Eventually, I heard footsteps and a person said "I'm coming for you". He appeared at the top of the staircase and I swung my hatchet madly. I caught his tag before I died; Bracston. I know that I broke his leg, at least. After I died and respawned, I saw a message at the bottom of the screen: Bracston was killed. It was the most satisfying three words I'd ever read. I don't know if it was me, directly, but I contributed. :D

No, if an entire individual loot pile is removed, it will respawn ten or five minutes later (with no one around). Edit: Sometimes it is buggy, and you may run into a barracks (or any building) from a distance away and find nothing. Usually going from the south barracks to the north barracks and back will fix this.

My brother and I are considering creating a DayZ matchmaking website. It would match players based on compatibility (gameplay style, time zone, group size, etc.). Any interest?

Actually, you're right. ;) However, my brother is a web developer. If you have any questions as to how we're going to develop the website, he'd be happy to answer them for you.

Basically, but with different parameters and group "dating".

Hmmm, a user with one post going on to someone's thread, telling about how legitimate it is, and then giving beans.

ON MY WAY

Today I killed someone when he was trying to loot one of my friend's bodies. The death message came up as "LoneWolf was killed by super cool kid (Friendly Fire)". I didn't get a murder, bandit kill, or lose humanity. I had no previous encounters with LoneWolf besides an extended gunfight since I can't aim. What is this friendly fire?

It was my friend's body, and before I shot him, I said "hey you, in the ghillie suit, I'm going to shoot you if you don't stop looting that body."

DayZ never stops surprising me

Killing snipers through an exploit isn't cool, you are bad and you should feel bad

ON MY WAY

I've found that the most fun is when you're not afraid of losing all of your gear. Try not to get attached to your shit. M4A1 CCO SD is a pretty bad gun for PvP situations, and those NVGs were probably duped.

My image of standalone bases has always been tree hunting stands in a square with barbed wire and tank busters in between. Inside would be tents, and maybe there could be a gate. Edit: Standalone makes my dick wiggle

Please, take my beans.

I met six people at Balota, only two were unfriendly. :D

Try using search before you post. This is asked a lot. Usual fixes for me: Turn VSync on/off Change memory to High, Low, or Default Change HDR settings Restart Arma II Occasionally cross servers

I've played with a ping of 280. Ping really doesn't effect gameplay that much, at least not for me.
