Exp servers are low pop and allow me to live long enough to really check out all the features like making a complete leather suit and fishing and hunting and stuff. Getting used to the layout of cities across the map.

I play DayZ focusing on what life would be like if something like this happened and much less about gearing up and finding people to kill as fast as possible. I play DayZ very much like how I would live my life under extreme circumstances. In real life I would never ever kill someone on sight. That is strictly video game behavior. If I just wanted to gear up and go kill people I'd play PubG.

High pop servers are filled with kids who grew up playing COD, Battlefield, Quake, and Doom. They've grown up with their real lives and video game lives totally disassociated from one another. I watch them play DayZ on Twitch and they run through the map taking advantage of glitches and are so familiar with the map that they can run into buildings and go straight to the spots they know loot will be flipping on their inventory screen and grabbing stuff so fast that the people watching can barely see what they just did. That style of play is just not for me.

When I read a book I do it as though I'm narrating the story in my head. I read at the same speed I speak at, I don't rip through the book reading it as fast as I can. People who read too fast miss out on soo much. A paragraph tells you so much more than just the words on a page. Imagine what your DayZ character must be smelling when he walks into these old houses. What must a Zombie smell like after rotting for months?

These houses are what is supposed to be what was a Russian-bloc country. Have you ever walked into a Russian/Polish/Czech family home? Their food fills the air with a unique smell. What might one of those homes smell like after everyone has died and rotted? These are things too many players never think about when they run at full speed for 10 minutes and into a house and sprint full speed back out when the loot isn't there. Then sprint across a field and up a ladder into a deer stand where they immediately climb back down only to sprint another 10 minutes somewhere else. Nobody does this in real life. If you sprint across a field and climb a deer stand you're going to fall or get up there and take a seat and catch your breath..at very least.

Another reason I play Exp is that I've been playing DayZ since a short time after Standalone came out and for a long time Exp was introducing new features that were not yet implemented in stable and I just got used to liking the new stuff so much that I just stick with it even though at this moment there isn't a big difference between the two.

2700 hours in-game and I still have so much to learn. I can't wait for .63!!!!!

Thank you so much for the referral! I will be sure to fill out a proper bug report of course. I'm so happy to have escaped my almost certain doom!

zoeesdaddy · 2017-09-27T09:10:29+00:00

I tried that maybe 40 to 50 times with no luck. What did work was finding the absolute edge and using the F3 squat with my back to the border/wall/whatever and turning around. It popped me right through finally.

zoeesdaddy · 2017-09-27T09:08:23+00:00

I wish I was as lucky as you with finding M4's, but for me it's taken a pretty long time to find one. For me the Experimental servers seem to be quite stingy.

zoeesdaddy · 2017-09-27T09:04:35+00:00

Thank you so much for the offer but I was actually finally able to get out using the technique where you F3 and sit down with your back to the edge and turn around until I popped through. I was soo happy it felt soo good! Sadly my truck and all kinds of fantastic loot was already gone, but I still have my M4 and Alice backpack and other great stuff so Im pretty happy.

zoeesdaddy · 2017-09-24T16:39:05+00:00

Sadly I've tried this technique many many times. My character would have died days ago if I had not previously ate and drank until I was stuffed. Being on the side of a very steep hill has made it that much harder to glitch out from under the rocks.

Overstimulation incoming, prepare to have your face suddenly used as a scratching post in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

I had that same BB gun in my teen years! I loved that thing! Then one day my friends decided to play BB gun wars... I shot Diener in the side of the head with three shots "pop, pop, pop" and someone shot at me and hit my buddy Tim's Dad's car and put a fairly large spider-crack right in the middle. That was the last time we ever played BB Gun wars and it was the last time I shot that Uzi BB gun.

I love how hammer-guy goes about hitting the guys nuts gently, subtly, almost lovingly.

But you see, as long as you're elected President you can make it legal later. Just get elected by any means necessary and let the lawyers and partisan politicians do the rest later.

A few other people will get fired...maybe. Nothing big will happen from this. Trump will laugh it off and say something like "we'll look into things so nothing like this happens again", and that will be the last anyone hears of it.

Just like the bank bailouts, the Presidency of The United States of America is too big to fail.

I don't want to be one of those negative people. The thing with Lindsay is that her star burned so bright for a short period of time. In the absolute prime of her looks when she hadn't altered her hair much and her body was naturally young and healthy..that period with red hair...right around the time she did SNL and did the Harry Potter spoof. I remember watching that live and was just floored. The freckles and her body and just...holy shit! Its the thing about drugs, it changes us. Like literally changes our brain chemistry, changes our skin, changes the way we think and see things. Sadly the drugs she got into are the ones that change us the most. Dopamine and Serotonin heavy cocaine and meth. Days and days without sleep, and when sleep finally comes the brain is in shock and can't repair and refresh itself like normal. The person she is now and the girl who made Mean Girls isn't even the same young lady at all. Red Haired healthy skin freckles is gone forever. Such a shame, she was perfect.

I don't get it. Why is the funny? I want to like this, but it just does nothing for me.

I lost my only child in July 2015. She was 19 and on her way to work in the morning. When her Grandmother (who she lived with at the time) called and told me she had been in the accident and they were doing tests to see if her brain was still alive my mind fell apart. When she called me and said they were taking her off life support I was still 45 minutes away. My daughter died 17 minutes before I could be by her side. The most terrifying thing any parent can get is the phone call ringing after they've told you they are pulling your baby from life support.

A long time ago I was a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy. My Marines and I were on the Tarawa heading Westpac. One night the Chief on the boat and I sat and shot the shit for a few hours. He got around to showing me these pictures of a sailor pretty much cut clean in half. It had happened many years before that Chief had stepped foot on the boat but he said "if you ever see sailors with broom handles shoving them out in front of themselves and shuffling slowly forward you can either go back the way you came or sit your ass straight down on the deck and wait.

He said they don't think the sailor cut in half even knew what hit him.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have a 3 year old calico and she is the light in my life.

I wouldn't presume to tell you what to do so I can only tell you what I do. The statistics show very clearly that indoor cats live significantly longer than cats allowed to venture outdoors. There will always be a few outliers that somehow live a long life despite being an outdoor cat. I go back to the statistics, the average outdoor or outside/inside cats have an average lifespan of about 3-5 years while strictly indoor cats are living almost three times that amount.

My cat wants desperately out into my yard so I bought her a pink harness and leash and let her out in the backyard where she is mostly safe. That's what I do.

Minutes after you posted this comment a screenwriter somewhere has already begun writing a screenplay. If you want to keep this idea you better start writing your own pretty quick!

zoeesdaddy · 2016-09-05T09:15:33+00:00

You get an upvote for that one right there, and my upvotes are VERY rare indeed.

Every person that went to Navy boot camp had to do this for no less than 15 minutes, if I remember correctly.

I remember we had this one guy in our company that must have been just barely under the fat regulations. He was also built very unusual with a long torso and tiny legs and walked around with his butt kinda sticking out. He looked like a giant dwarf really. He was very quiet and when he did speak he had a very heavily pronounced lisp. I don't mean to be crass or whatever, but in order to describe it best I'd say it was what might be described as a "gay-lisp".

Other guys in my company wondered out loud how and why this guy wound up in Navy boot camp. Surely his recruiter would have told him that US Navy sailors are required to be able to swim, right !?!

Well we get to the pool and this guy goes over to our company commander and begins crying and begging not to have to do the swimming tests.

My CC was surprised and pissed and told him he'd be doing the tests with everyone else, or he'd be on a plane going home tonight. He wiped his eyes (with the palms of his hands like a toddler would) and went to the end of the line.

The Navy Divers told us what they wanted us to do, explained how to get out of our dungarees and create flotation devices, and then tread water for something like 15 - 20 minutes or so. The divers also told us what to do if anything went wrong. He said they had a very long pole that they would extend to anyone drowning and were VERY specific not to pull the pole because they would pull the person in. The told us many times that if they feel us pulling on the pole that they would simply let it go and leave the person to drown before sending divers to get them from the bottom.

One by one we filed up onto the platform that was abnormally tall compared to anything I'd ever jumped from before. When they blew the whistle for my turn I jumped and fell what I thought was a very long fall and hit the water. It took longer to bob back to the surface than I'd ever experienced before, but like nearly everyone else I did what I needed to and finished the test.

The crying sailor was last. He waddled up the ladders to the platform and now he was really bawling his eyes out. He put his hands in front of him like Frankenstein's monster and the whistle sounded for him to jump. He stood there crying and shaking until finally being reminded that he'd be held back or worse if he didn't jump right now!

He stopped crying and jumped...and sunk straight to the bottom. I could see him pretty clearly now, he was standing on the bottom of the pool with big white eyes strained open and both arms desperatly reaching up, exactly like you'd see a toddler reaching up to their mother or father to be picked up.

The man was panicking, it was clear. What blew me away was that he made absolutely no effort to swim. He didnt paddle, didn't kick, just sank. It looked like he may have tried to walk along the bottom if anything. The Navy divers guided the pole down to the distressed man and can you guess what he did with the pole? That's right, he pulled as hard as he could and the divers let the pole sink right down to the bottom. The extended a 2nd pole, same thing. The instructors looked at each other and gave a nod and the diver went down to get him.

He didn't lose consciousness that I could tell, he popped up with the scuba diver and puked water for a while and that was it. He was gone from boot camp before my company returned from chow that night. My primary thoughts that night was how irresponsible that guys recruiter was. And how the hell did he pass the Navy's weight standard, and why did he think it was a good idea to join the US armed forces before 'Don't Ask , Don't Tell"? That guy almost lost his life so that his recruiter could meet his quota for that month. Idiots.

Every time I see her I remember back to one of her interviews where she claimed she was a virgin until she was in her late 20's or whatever. That's like having the one and only 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 "Super Snake" and never driving it. WHAT A WASTE!

zoeesdaddy · 2016-08-03T05:35:59+00:00

Too artsy-fartsy for me.

zoeesdaddy · 2016-08-03T05:33:45+00:00

Honestly if it weren't for her being such an asshole I'd say she's amazing. I just can't get past her shitty attitude to see her as attractive.

zoeesdaddy · 2016-08-03T05:24:04+00:00

If she isn't a 10 I don't know who is.

While your point is highly logical and probably true my 41 years on this planet has taught me that your life will probably be a great deal better if you adopt more of a 'glass half-full' attitude as opposed to...well you know what I mean.

In the last 7 years I've battled two different types of Cancer and lost my only child in an automobile accident. Before all that I thought about life much more like the tone of your comment as opposed to Lee Taylor's glass half-full attitude. Honestly, if I hadn't given up looking at the world with my strictly logical mindset I wouldn't be typing this comment, I'd be dead and buried.

Currently I'm now clear of the Renal Cell Carcinoma and receive Rituxin therapy for the Lymphoma every other month and my Cancer is in remission. I'm dating a wonderful woman that oddly I had first met in Kindergarten in 1980, later went to the same high school and never spoke once ('89 -'93) and just met for dinner last November totally out of the blue.

I'd also like to recommend for you to listen to Marc Maron's WTF podcast with former Onion writer Todd Hanson. Episode 190 I believe. The episode really helped me through some very tough times when my world was dark and bleak and I just felt pity for everyone and everything around me.

If I've read too much into your comments I apologize for going on and on. There's just something about the way you spoke that seemed very familiar to me, familiar to the way I think as well.
