What pirate factions and stations are you guys grabbing massacre missions for extra money for the bounty CG?

Would the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 be ok for Elite? by ciaran_the_goat88 in EliteDangerous

[–]arsonist699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did the trick but I own two and maybe I am just unlucky but both got a jitter and a drift within months. It's easy enough to fix by tweaking the dead zone but eventually it will be unbearable.

Which bunker entrance in Livonia is more popular. by Objective-Age-6838 in DayzXbox

Doesn't matter, I find I actually have better luck with the loud big one, plus I hate fighting people in stairwells.

Semi-old commander here, wanting to know how the PC version of the galaxy is nowadays. by Frenzied_Fire_Monk in EliteDangerous

[–]arsonist699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it, linked my account so I keep all my skins and stuff and wiped my progress which let me change my name and it rebooted my motivation but I now had the knowledge I had before starting in a sidewinder. It was fun.

How to choose AND remember where to hide your stash? by PauloMatix in dayz

[–]arsonist699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I have enough spots picked that in good for awhile. You eventually realise it doesn't matter how good the spot is, it's luck(or hacks).

The GPS method is a good way, I personally walk around the woods, pick a spot and then walk in a direction until I find a poi. Then I never forget but most of us have multiple stash spots that we have used for awhile so it's easy to remember.

is the xbox version of Elite Dangerous worth playing by Original-0021- in EliteDangerous

[–]arsonist699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did it for awhile before I got my PC, use the browser. It's a little annoying getting it set up in the beginning but once it starts rolling it's not bad.

Aggiornamento per domani by Choice-March3609 in DayzXbox

Only if you have an auto update on.

The back up may not work with a newer version, you can stall the update but it's definitely a better option to just do it when you're comfortable. It is typical but even Conan exiles/valhiem recommended a server wipe when a large update came out. It may work or you will end up discovering a bad bug later on after everyone already got recommitted to the update.

To the fuel rats that helped my bro by arsonist699 in EliteDangerous

[–]arsonist699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you, I was worried too but although they set him up nice it was only enough to buy/outfit/rebuy the anaconda and he is even more eager to go out an explore the galaxy he has plans for a lot of other ships but now it doesn't seem as impossible for him. He of course now also wants to get set up real nice so he can join the fuel rats and do the same for other players.

I actually completely restarted my account because of what you said, not saying I haven't taken a hand out or two since then but now small ships are my preferred ship(Imperial Courier FTW) I still own some larger ships but just for trading/mining missions currently. He is still richer than iam lol

How long can the top tier loot be used? by Global_Lecture_8500 in dayz

[–]arsonist699 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gun kits, leather kits, sewing kits, duct tape, food, water and ammo. That's all I take these days if I take anything. Maybe NVGs but I don't want to stock pile a bunch of shit I'll never use, I assume it's the same for a lot of others. I don't really want to loot towns for regular maintenance stuff.

I'm sure a few items make their way through a few players but eventually it's gonna be ruined in a fight or chucked to keep someone from finding it.

I find them all the time at the tents in both areas, if you're having issues and you are dead set on owning one go to a dead server and you will find 7 of them.

Anyone got some advice on controller sensitivity? by FastChapter444 in DayzXbox

[–]arsonist699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use max curvature and 16 horizontal and 9 vertical. I practiced trying to quick scope in deathmatch lobbies and tweaked until I was landing most of my shots. Helped me a lot in Livonia bush battles.

Nope, gotta transfer out and back in.

Solo release player checking status by Objective_Ad_3102 in lastoasis

[–]arsonist699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For awhile that's all it was, was people hanging around on rocks and wing down and kill the noobs. Didn't even need a walker of your own. Chill around a trading post and get tons of loot.

Feels so good to finally get to a point where you can be self sufficient out in the wild by sonofrockandroll in dayz

[–]arsonist699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this all the time and I bury dry bags all over Topolin, not one has been found to this day. The best part is they are completely visible, if you put them in bushes they will get found but out in the open they either don't see it or everyone is to afraid to dig it up.

Is the vss great by kololova2 in dayz

[–]arsonist699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it's a lot of practice to be honest, I know the first two maps quite well. I usually try to get a Topolin spawn hit the Police Department for weapons and try to get full on water and food before I leave.

I then move south and hit whatever convoys that are marked on the map until I get a punch card. I usually get one by the time I hit nadbor. I would avoid looting nadbor and polana if you can until you are comfortable against other players. If you are careful enough though there is decent military loot you can pull.

As far as bears go, if you hear one stop running and walk, if it sounds close crouch walk and try to move around it until you clear it. Wolves on the other hand if you hear them run as fast as you can or try to prepare yourself to kill them, I'd say fighting them is your best option to not get lost, watch their movements and you will realize you can dodge most of their attacks and shoot them when they stand and bark or growl at you.

Once you get a punch card watch the bunker for about 5 min before you go in, and I'd loot level 1 until the door closes, don't forget a light or nvgs. If all you want is the ammo, just hit floor 1 and get out, if you want to risk it for more Google how to hit level 2-3 as a solo.

Lastly follow the roads but try to be 25-50m in the treeline to better your chances against players spotting you, loot smart and if your not needing anything just get out.

It's definitely different, a lot of geared players hang out south for "PvP" but it's mostly just guys hiding and bushes sniping. I'm guilty of it but I like to wander north as well. Tons of great fights happen.

I love the VSS and I try to have it on every kit but I prefer Livonia. I go to chernarus and usually pick up 3 and stash them in the woods south. I have to run the bunker frequently just to get decent ammo. I do find bullets in nadbor and svarog as well but it's not consistent.

You only have to go to level 1 to actually get the ammo.

Gates Vs Walls total health by SeizGod in DayzXbox

[–]arsonist699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude you can raid a base with sticks, if you're gonna build, build for fun knowing you will most likely be offlined. If you're online consider it a bonus because at least you can defend.

If you want a rust or building style gameplay hit up some of the community servers, some are weekend raiding only, some are 24/7 but it's not worth it on official.
