DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

I am curious on how I got the AIDS during that whole event. I wonder if being in close proximity to him when he vomited cause my dude to contract something. Gonna have to run that by ze German Medic.

And that wasn't the first time I've noticed that happen to my character. I bandaged Teck after a fire fight once. He was a gusher and got blood everywhere. My dude came up with a sick status after getting him all patched up.

Well shit. We are gonna have a helluva meth-mouth epidemic on our hands and no garlic to cure any of it.

Yes field of view changes scope effectiveness. It's not a lot, but it does. It only matters with the actual good scope for the mosin though (the ~800m one), it doesn't make a difference on any of the m4 scopes.

This thread is going to break me down and get me playing this, sounds like you guys are having so much fun. Question- my mouse died recently and im looking for a deal before getting a new one... Has anyone been playing this on gamepad and how isthat?

Impossible

Bisi, I'll look for you in TS/Steam Friends and help you out.

Spent most of the day today with Edaw, and later with OneShot (not on this forum I think, but from the TS server we use) server hopping and looting up the balota airfields/barracks/tents/garages.. got us all fully geared and deeply stocked. Can do again tomorrow.

LOLNO.



Roccat Kone XTD.. done.

though I understand this is a really personal thing, best mouse I've ever had hands down.

build quality is incredible. Materials feel, ergo, response, and durability, all 10/10. I didn't really like the colored lighting strips, but those are completely customizable in terms of color/pattern/animation (and can be turned off as well).. now, I don't mind them at all since I've been able to customize them to my liking

I caved and got the Roccat Alumic gaming pad, and I couldn't be happier.. double sided, two diff grain textures for totally different feel and drag depending on what you play and what you prefer



this after owning plenty logitechs and razrs... a close 2nd place was the corsair m95 (awesome but too many thumb buttons), and corsair m65 (better buttons than m95 but not a fan of the chassis gaps)

while I'm on my soapbox, the Corsair K95 keyboard is facking phenomenal too... cherry red keys, great backlighting, and no questions asked RMAs for dead LEDs



normally I wouldn't dive this deep into product shit out of the hardware forum, but I bought these both 9ish months ago and have been thrilled with them since. has made work and gaming that much more comfortable

Definitely had fun. Think I'm gonna print out the map as well since I was lost half the time.

The suspense during this whole thing is fucking nerve wracking. Hadn't felt that way since early UO. Be cool to post up where we're all gathering so we can make our way there before Friday's event.

listening to you guys attempting to get to a place for 60+ mins and continue to fail was hilarious. ok, fuck that place, we cant find it.. let's go to this place.. wait for it, fail!

I'm just givin you a hard time.. but seriously, wow!

get the hang of noticing local landmarks (water pumps, roads/railways/intersections), and correlating them to the map... helps especially if you are just crawling a town looking for specific spawns (rather than just going door to door willy nilly). Recognize simple stuff, like: water always on the right if moving East/North, always on the left if moving West/South. Check the horizon for recognizable landmarks that help you at least reduce the possibilities of where you might be (islands, lighthouses, docks)

I'll die for you guys, but I won't follow you for a second!

Playing this on a gamepad is indeed impossible. The lack of mouselook, combined with the sheer number of functions needed to effectively play, the need for accuracy when looting bodies/opening doors, and the need to tab out for a variety of reasons (map, TS, finding out why you have aids) makes it near physically impossible. Drag and drop especially would seem really problematic, not to mention that you'd be at a severe disadvantage when precision aiming means so much sniping. I can't imagine doing it any other way. Even the cheapest mouse is better than the alternative.

On a different note, for those who haven't heard me recite it on TS, it's possible to carry two rifles:

1.) Take the rifle you're carrying out of your hands so that it's on your back.
2.) Find the second rifle you want to pick up and mouse over it
3.) Click "Take (whatever rifle)" when you get the prompt mousing over it.
4.) ???
5.) MURDER

This puts the second rifle in your hands. You can use the "punch run" while having two rifles by running with your rifle raised, then clicking "use bandage" in the inventory screen. Your guy will switch to rambo mode, with the rifle you're carrying going into a one-handed carry, so you can fast run like you would if you had nothing in your hands. Downside is it can bug out your scope to where you have to relog. The other downside to carrying two rifles is that whenever you loot anything or use any other item in your inventory (or drag drop the other rifle to your hands), you'll drop the rifle currently in your hands, so you have to repeat all the steps above.

Yeah, it's a cheap glitch, but partially balanced by the fact that you can't do it effectively in combat, or while you're looting, or climbing ladders, or while you're doing any other number of functions you constantly have to manage. It's great, however, for grabbing an extra rifle for a friend as loot delivery.

Watch out for the highrise buildings near cherno. There's a weird bug where vaulting will phase you under the floor and you'll be stuck there until you can find a way to glitch yourself out. I think relogging might fix it, but if you run and vault around for a while you'll exit out somewhere. No guarantees you won't just get gibbed though. Had my long range scope mosin poof underneath the floor while trying to climb a ladder, glitched underneath the floor... Trying to get near it got me within a foot of grabbing the thing, but an invisible wall blocked it. It was like the game was punishing me for exploiting the inventory system. The game can kiss my ass though. I refuse to believe it's realistic that you can't carry two rifles at once, or at least break down one of them into component parts and carry it in a gigantic mountain backpack.

EDIT: And the sad thing about me getting lost is that I've been playing the mod since a month or so after release, and even when I thought I'd found where I meant to go, I ended up 4000 meters off. Still, I ended up closer to NWAF than I thought I was heading. Apart from the coast, the whole damn game is samey looking forests and fields and I spent the entire mod relying on the magic map markers GPSing me to where I wanted to go.

From the mod, but still relevant. Shamelessly stolen from some old PCGamer article, who in turn shamelessly stole it from some German guys. Shows player activity as a sort of heatmap. I suspect that the the angry red blotches on Cherno and Balota are one seamless giant red angry blotch, as well as the eastern side of the map being much more blotchy and angry itself.

I was talking with Edaw earlier about this.. if realism and immersion is what they're going for, it's a simple fix.. ad a new weapon item/addon: TACTICAL SLING. If you don't have it, you can't "wear" a gun at all. if you do, you simply sling it over your shoulder as we do now. Would make shouldering 2 guns feasible, and believable. Maybe even have them worn cross-body so that they'd be secure, and require you to remove 1 before the other. Making it super rare like a pristine ACOG (shakes fist) would reduce the likelihood that you see someone wearing two weapons, and it would also require that people drop their long guns to do tasks that animate both hands, increasing risk and caution.

Though I don't know how you'd still rock an axe on your back.. it'd probably have to move to a belt sheathe or something.

I'm gaming this but live in EU so play those times, tossing my steam ID anyways : Yggs1

Love the RP in this game, saw the guy who rp's mr.chow from Hangover, laughed my ass of.

Ok, so as long as my internet get's hooked up Friday at my new apartment I plan to be online Friday night, I'm still up NE by Guba, where are we going to meet?
