    Combat Loggers and Ghost Warriors

    "ghost warriors" are better players than you, as evidenced by their ability to beat you and willingness to do whatever it takes to win...
  2. The only problem with "kos" right now, literally the only problem, is moaning by the whiners. This is why it is so vitally important to KOS at every opportunity in the game. Anyone you kill in the game could be one of these whiners, and we have a duty to punish them for their wrongdoing. DayZ is meant to be self policing. Our community should be self policing. We shouldnt pass the buck, we should take responsibility and do our duty.

    What is the Next Big Patch?

    Rumor is cars and trucks, base building, tents, crafting, hunting, about 10 new guns.
  4. It has struck me that food is far too plentiful in DayZ. Have you starved to death since maybe the very first time you played DayZ? Starvation should be a serious issue. Starving people killing one another for food should be a very common occurrence. You should start out malnourished, it should take a long time to work back up to 'healthy.' Having a healthy character should be something people need to survive a long time to get.

    Food in DayZ Too Easy To Get

    If we were to successfully exterminate every single target, we would exterminate one another so that the extermination would be complete.

    Sniper Rifles

    I had no specialized training when I fired a .50BMG rifle for the first time. I was, not surprisingly, uninjured. There's a reason they put those big muzzle brakes on the front. And this wasn't even a semi-automatic rifle or one with any sort of reciprocating barrel. You would be surprised to learn that the 'kick' from a rifle is due to the relationship between the amount of recoil energy it has and the time over which it is imparted into your shoulder. A semi-automatic mechanism or a reciprocating barrel doesn't really 'eat up' much of the recoil energy, but it does help increase the duration of time during which it is transmitted to your body. Consider the difference between being hit with a hammer, and having the ball of a hammer set against your arm and pressed down. Even if the same kinetic energy is involved, the short shock is much worse for you. Because 50BMG rifles have muzzle brakes, which propel hot gas back toward the shooter like a jet, pushing the rifle away from you at the same time the recoil energy is pushing it back, the 'kick' isn't nearly what you'd imagine it to be from wherever you got your wrong idea. The only thing you need to know to safely shoot a 50BMG rifle is to make sure to press the stock firmly against your shoulder. But this isn't any kind of specialized training or procedure, it is just as necessary, if not more so, when firing something like a Mosin Nagant or similar bolt action rifle.

    The KOS conundrum, problem/solution.

    We have a duty to God, to ourselves, and to this community to conduct medical experimentation and exterminations. The life we saved may be yours, "acid574." You're welcome.

    Sniper Rifles

    It would be a disgrace to pander to the tedious, boring SnYpErZ by putting "fittycals" in the game.

    Cannot find one player in Standalone

    We've successfully exterminated 447 targets since we started. They're out there if you know where to look.
  10. People can already do exactly what you describe. There is no game mechanic which prevents it. A group of people can gear up, find new friends, and take over an area. However, nobody is forced to do this.
  11. They shouldn't be put in the game, but if they are, they should be obtained by crafting.
  12. People will always, and should always, be the most dangerous thing. Unless the zombies are always chasing you, and you can't ever sit still, people will always be more dangerous. People have self-interest.

    I sincerely hope they let you put poison in wells.

    Accuracy comparison: DayZ vs ARMA 2

    It would be sort of plausible if it was only tied to the condition of the attachments. ruined or badly damage stocks could be very wobbly, not allow for a cheek weld, be stuck in a bad adjustment, etc. I can see if they added a bonus for really fancy stocks like the highly adjustable magpul ones, but the magpul stock in the game is functionally equivalent to the old fashioned telescopic stock as far as performance goes. the current "add a different piece and get a magic boost" is pretty corny. All it really does is force everyone to put magpul stuff on his rifle.

    The KOS conundrum, problem/solution.

    We tell everyone we meet that we're friendly, but we also kill everyone we meet. Win its trust, win its life. No such thing as friendly in dayz.

    Accuracy comparison: DayZ vs ARMA 2

    When you say the m4 makes a 2 foot group, do you mean without any of the accuracy boosting attachments? I think I have the optimal attachments on mine, and it seems to shoot very tight groups, even to always hit the crosshair.

    Heavier bullets are "more accurate" now? Seriously? Who told you this?

    Induce Vomiting

    With the poisoning in the game, I was wondering why there isnt ipecac syrup or an option to force your fingers down the throat to induce vomiting and clear the stomach after accidental poison ingestion, like you're meant to do in real life. It struck me that if there was a "gag myself to vomit" button, all the vermin would run around vomiting everywhere to look stupid. But it would be very nice if there was a way to instantly induce vomiting on someone else. Either feeding them a vomit inducer to gagging them. It is my hope that if/when force-feedable feces is implemented, it will make the subject vomit immediately. It's funny watching people vomit in the game when you've poisoned them, and instant gratification would be nice rather than having to wait the 5 minutes or whatever with windex/tincture.

    The golf analogy

    Silence is golden. When we play we use our huge arma2 community's TS, and sometimes people have to be yelled at.

    Funniest thing you've seen/done?

    Watching people slowly realize, as they get sicker and sicker, that we aren't really giving them medicine, per se.

    Sniper Rifles

    I agree completely. Not only should all adjustments be required to be made in quarter MOA, but optics should be required to be zeroed to the gun they're mounted on before they have a proper zero to begin with.
  22. The point of the game is to survive under extremely harsh and dangerous circumstances. Killing people is because of that, and also necessary to making it harsh and dangerous.
  23. It's as much about "pvp" as it is about anything else. There is nothing that is more-about than "pvp." People compete over resources that they can't share. Someone wins and someone loses. Someone survives and someone dies.
  24. What's much more likely is that people who like DayZ will continue to play DayZ, and people who like other kinds of games will do something else.

    According to our research, the only way to cure sickness is to drink alcohol tincture.
