How does one turn off thermal/nightvision scopes on guns? I did it once on my NV FAL and I have no idea how.
Cant turn it off in FAL

Dayz provided me a day of my own tears yesterday.
Mini story first:
My friend spawns in a server(forgets where he logged off 2 weeks ago), turns out he's in Mogelivka(which is always quiet), I'm on comms with him and he says, think I hear a car, I'm basically telling him to fuck up he's a bollox etc, turns out some cunt in a UAZ is coming through the town. My friend has nout but a double barrel shotgun so starts unloading on him with all of his 4 bullets to try kill the driver lols, driver spots him and tries run him over, my friend gets one last shot through the back window and kills him, and proceeds to steal the UAZ. As he's approaching some fella starts shooting at him(bet the driver was trying to pick him up). My friend hops in and flys off.
He then comes across a heli site, that has a FN, a AS50 and some ammo. Put's all in the car and comes pick me up. We doodle about and log off, my friend respawans to help another friend in cherno, who just started playing and I go pick them up north of it, I pick them up. We stopped in a field to fix a wheel or something I forget, and suddenly get shot at. We all run like fuck the new guy ran off god knows where and me and my friend hoped in the car and sped off, he was driving.. so yeah tear part, we hit a tini wooden fench(the ones you can crawl and jump over), the wheel comes off and I'm like nbd nbd just fix it, then the car blows up and we both die. -AS50 and FN Fal.
Next story, found another chopper site last night with the L85A1 with NV and Thermal on it, log off for a minute then come back in, server didn't save my status I'm back in cherno with a winny and 50% blood.
God I hate this game.
Me on the left and my friend with silenced weapon, which he hasn't logged back in yet so he might lose it too.

I wonder how Rocket will solve the problem of turning fellow survivors back into fellow survivors 'cause at the moment it seems to be that they're just walking treasure chests. There is no incentive to allow fellow survivors to live. They're either direct threats and/or a potential goldmine of resources.
Maybe a significant penalty for the person/group who starts firing first and/or a boost for the person fired upon. Just so if someone has chosen to ambush or attack another survivor they have to be damn sure they are in a position to win convincingly, not just be the one quicker to hit the trigger. Takes away from the realism a bit but I'm all for lapses in realism if it makes a better game.
Dunno. Haven't played yet. Looking forward too but waiting until the end of the Steam Sale to make damn sure they don't do a last minute 75% off so I'm not left feeling like a mug.

yeah because realism means everyone is nice all the time
do you honestly think the point of the game is to kill zombies

Well my thought was that realism was everyone killing everyone.
The point of the game was meant to be survival though wasn't it? I'm all for bandits going around shooting other players but I think it'd be a cooler experience if instead of immediately shooting any players encountered out of either self-defence or resource-grabbing that there was a reason, you know, not to. I know Rocket's intent was to allow players to forge uneasy allegiances to keep up tensions while allowing people to work together to mutual benefit. But there's no benefit in keeping someone around who may shoot you at any moment. Much easier to shoot first and take their stuff. If there was a reason not to shoot people I think it'd make things more interesting.
Personal opinion.

well the zombies in the game are so pointless that they might as well not be in the game
the only point is to get gear and kill other people with your gear

While the majority of my experiences with other players has been being shot in the back, there have been quite a few that i'll find, have a tense standoff with before we talk over the voip and go on our merry way without harming each other. Happened to me twice in the last two days actually
I've had a few experiences like that, bumping into people walking around corners, both of us just spawned within the last couple hours and only have, say, a winnie or lee enfield and a sidearm. No point in killing at that point, just stared at each other and then walked on
but realistically there's never going to be a time in this game where you make friends to play with long term whilst in the game. the only people i don't kill have facepaint and aviators and are on mumble with me. i'm not out to make friends in the game.

I spawned in outside of electro at the same time as some other guy and we both sprinted to the nearest barn to try to find a hatchet. It was empty and we went our separate ways, but later on I ran into a guy in electro with the same skin as him and a shotgun, but he was really bad and couldn't kill me so I just ran away.
I once spawned in Solnichniy and hear a sidearm firing. Ran into a house to see a guy shooting zombies facing away from me, I saw a Lee Enfield under his feet, picked up it, waited for him to finish off the zombies
he turns around
i shoot his face and laugh all the way to my campsite

Forkin' Hell it took me long enough to find a weapon. Snuck into what looks like some farm machinery yard. Zombies and flies everywhere though no survivor bodies that I could see. Managed to go to and from a few of the buildings, finally found a Lee Enfield and a Winchester. All this during night of course so I have no idea how many zombies are around though by the sounds they're making I'd say there's around ten. Kipping in a barn for now, see how much shit I'm in in the morning.
First impressions - actually pretty fun and challenging even if the controls are a nightmare. Doing it as a loner 'cause my friends aren't PC gamers.

I'm good for now. Enjoying the survival aspect, the rural environment. Traipsing down back roads, scouting out locations, assessing threats. Slow progress when you're just one person but definitely enjoyable. We'll see how it goes, that feeling will probably change when I get killed repeatedly by bandits. My first run through was ended by a sniper's bullet.

So I've played a couple of hours now.
Let me just say that my cheery disposition is long gone courtesy of a weedy looking mother fucker wielding an axe who obviously was in need of the empty weaponry I had on me. Now while my two magazines of Makarov ammo may have been appealing to him I had no qualms about giving parting with them until he looked like a garden fountain. Alas some cruel twist of fate determined it wasn't enough to bring him down or even slow him down at all while he managed to break my leg with a lucky swing. Suffice to say my original intention to look after myself and survive from what I found has been somewhat altered. The name of the game is "acquire ammo, fuck bitches" gentleman. Mercy is for the weak.

You died to a guy with a hatchet, when you had a Makarov?
Ye have much to learn, young Tyler.

Granted but remember I am the hippy type who just wants everyone to get along. It was a confined space but I didn't fire straight away thinking maybe if he didn't see me as meaning him any harm he'd just leave and not risk getting riddled with bullets. You can't rely on people to be reasonable so I obliged his apparent desire to bleed everywhere. Unfortunately the broken leg did me in.
But yes, a lot to learn. Would be nice to stay alive long enough to learn it.

With the way DayZ is right now, you have to kill everyone on sight unless you're on TS with them.

Crowbar is almost as bad a weapon as the double barreled shotgun.
