Suicide in DayZ and why it's important
Odrama Vin Laden replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You're wrong, they aren't scared of you, they are scared of the 10 minute lockout they would get for playing right. A gun fight would never end with one killing another anymore, everyone would just suicide. There is NO realism in that. -
Hip Fire Too Good on Snipers
Odrama Vin Laden replied to Rick the Survivor's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
(I don't know how to show an image in the post so here is the link)http://www.google.co...X-t8PmyxzFeCMM: You are so very wrong. A 7.62x51 round has a lot of recoil. It is similar to an ak 47 round, but with a higher load. So you mean to tell me an ak 47 is similar to a .22 then? -
What populates a DayZ server?
Odrama Vin Laden replied to LodiLu's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You know, I get what your trying to say, you should feel like you lost alot when your car gets stolen. But the way this is instilled now is totally unrealistic. Sure, batteries would be dead, and flat tires, but thats not anything that cant be easily fixed. The way it is now is there are pretty much no cars around unless you were there when the server was new. They are too rare, and should periodically respawn. Its stupid to think that all the cars are lying in rubble because the world is enduring the zombie apocalypse. The way it stands right now, if you find a car, its pretty easy to keep it forever as long as no one steals it and you dont drive like an idiot. There is no gradual 'wear n tear' and fuel is an unlimited resource from petrol pumps that dont even have electricity supplied to them. Gas should be like gold. The idea is right, but it's executed poorly. -
What populates a DayZ server?
Odrama Vin Laden replied to LodiLu's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I hate it when people say they don't want a server with a lot of vehicles. I understand the helicopter side, and the no starter weapon thing, but how in any case is having only a few vehicles per map authentic? Did the zombies blow up all the vehicles? I don't think so. Cars trucks etc should be plentiful but fuel should be rare. Gas pumps would not be working anymore. Fuel should be the reason that no one drives around not just an outright lack of cars. -
troubles with my Arma 2 OA

So you admittedly tried to hack? I hope your key gets stolen and resold. -
Lag During Zoom/Scope (Can you reduce it?)
Odrama Vin Laden replied to xXShootToKillXx's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
it could be. maybe try bumping it up a bit and see what happens? I know the sensitivity is definitely meant to slow down a bit in scope/sight to simulate aiming the gun. Experiment is all I can say. Not sure why else it would run ok anytime other than scoped, I actually get a better framerate while ADS -
Lag During Zoom/Scope (Can you reduce it?)
Odrama Vin Laden replied to xXShootToKillXx's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Thats weird then. And by the way I wasn't trying to be rude when I suggested that. I had similar problems before and kind of stumbled on to the smoothing thing and it helped me out. I was genuinely just trying to help. Is it frame lag? or just almost seems like your sensitivity is lower? -

Odrama Vin Laden replied to xXShootToKillXx's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
GO to control options and turn smoothing all the way down. -
My criticisms of DayZ mod/Standalone
Odrama Vin Laden replied to westonsammy's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
.Ok, let me apologize ahead of time for tearing apart your post, and I understand this is just your opinion, but you should at least get your facts right before you write a book on it. 1. It is no longer the "ArmA 2.5" engine. If you have been following development, you would know that they are now using a completely rewritten engine utilizing client-server architecture, similar to that which is used in many MMOs to handle gamelplay. 2. Refer to #1. This new architecture means, that the majority of game code will be handled server side. You will input to the server and the server is technically controlling you. You will not be able to run unintended scripts(which is how ***ers do their thing now) because the server will be running all the scripts, we just tell it what to do. 3. www.dayzgame.com Again, sorry. Not a personal attack, but you did ask for people to correct anything you had wrong. Hope this gets you as AMPED for this game as I am. -

No, you wouldnt hear him gutting anything. -
DayZ: Most Private Hives Are Not Real DayZ
Odrama Vin Laden replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
@Zionist Wabbit Say DayZ(ed) one more time please. I dont think we got it. You wouldnt spell it "DayZed". That is a way of pronouncing the letter Z in some parts of the world. You make yourself sound stupid by writing it out. You dont see me writing DayZ(ee) do you? Lol sorry about the flame but reading through that post repeating it multiple times got under my skin. -
Everyone jumped on him (no pun intended), but in a way hes right. If we were limited to say 2-3 good jumps and then our "stamina bar" would be depleted, perhaps it would casue you to run slower or something like that. If jumping was enabled for reasonable situations but had deterrents for abuse I dont see what the problem would be. There have been so many times in arma and dayz where I thought, "hmm, If i could only jump a foot off the ground to get over/on this object it would save me a ton of trouble' Its unrealistic to say that we shouldnt be able to jump.

Devblog update: Where is the Standalone?
Odrama Vin Laden replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Ok, I agree bad analogy. But my point is across the same. Doesn't in the least make sense to me why anyone would assume they would get any paid game free regardless of what you bought before. -
Devblog update: Where is the Standalone?
Odrama Vin Laden replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Soxter, Can I ask you something? The last time you bought a Call of Duty game, Did you get battlefield for free? Nope. Same rule applies here. Two Different Games, Are sold seperately. -
Devblog update: Where is the Standalone?
Odrama Vin Laden replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
@Ovation Yeah, i actually did have a dream about DayZ SA last night. I had a very real seeming dream that rocket got on twitter and said that he and the team had decided to release the standalone as a surprise. Much to my dismay when I woke up and checked the forums, I realized it really was a dream. TL;DR IT REALLY WAS A DREAM, DONT START ANY RUMORS! Haha. -

What is your favorite DayZ map?

Lately, it's Taviana for me. Such a good looking environment. But I actually haven't played DayZ in about a week. Ive been loving the Wasteland mod. -
DayZ Standalone Discussion
Odrama Vin Laden replied to griffinz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
In order to avoid the warz scandals that is happening dayz should be released on steam as a preorder with alpha, and beta access included as many others have said. One game I have been playing is doing just that. They are in beta and sales are going as a preorder. Don't Starve. Check it out it's pretty fun. That's the safest way to let people know that what you are getting is not the final product until "officially released" (making it no longer a preorder at a discounted price. -
The M24, Gentleman's Rifle
Odrama Vin Laden replied to Publik's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Not to nitpick, (Ok, im nitpicking) but the animation is almost spot on, except that the shell casing is being ejected as he is closing the bolt, it should eject as he is opening, before loading the next round in. -
Sanity meter re envisioned (long post)
Odrama Vin Laden replied to Slyguy65's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If you want this game to remain "sandbox" you can't change mechanics to encourage or discourage either side. The choice is up to the player, therefore our problems are up to the players to solve as a whole. You don't like bandits? Kill those motherfuckers. You want that unarmed survivors bandages? Shoot him. It's as simply as that. In order to change pvp, players as a whole need to change. Form armies, or a police force like the regulators. Don't just try to play the game like, I hope I don't run into a bandit and pretend they don't exist until you get sniped. You have to put some time into your strategy. Take a lesson from them, play more tactically. You may do a little better. Don't question your judgement when you're aiming at that towelhead. -
Poll: Which DayZ map is your favorite?
Odrama Vin Laden replied to Mr-Zer0's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Panthera for sure. Tied with Chernarus -
Haha, it's good. I had to think about it myself.i was just kidding around anyhow

You mean an MLK Jr inspired speech right? Haha, just playing, well done

So, I was just sitting here thinking, "How cool would it be if you just spawned in any random RESIDENTIAL HOUSE around the entire map. This would kind of give the feel of, ok an apocalypse just started, where do i go? The house would of course have the normal basic residential loot in it that could kind of kickstart your survival. A can of coke, maybe a tin of sardines, and if your real lucky maybe theres a revolver you have stashed in the cupboard for when SHTF. Idk, don't flame, just a thought. Would probably make a little more sense than just picking up in the middle of no where. What do you think?
