Ammo Calibration : Poll & Discussion
PongoZ replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
every other game has them? does every other game have a 400 square km map with 10000 ammo spawns on it? the nature of the game, the reason I play it may impose restrictions. Big deal. -
When a bandit kills a troll, its a win win right?

Why do some players do everything possible to avoid interaction?
PongoZ replied to mithrawndo's topic in General Discussion
OP, its not that hard, when you spend all this time to try and get in game power over people, and he chooses not to talk to you - which you clearly want more then is healthy, and not to let you capture him alive he wins, you lose. That's it, You invested what ever in your little greifing expedition, he denied you most of what you wanted to gain from it. So you and you buddies lost. And he won, and that's what he wanted, that's why you see the behaviour you did. Its not mysterious. -

PongoZ replied to mithrawndo's topic in General Discussion
? he proved that the other guy should have tried to KOS, -
Nothing is more ridiculous then empowering a griefer by giving him power over you or talking to him. Your gear means nothing to him. He and his hacker buddies have hopped servers for an hour getting what they need. All that you can give him is a rush of power, why do it, kill a few of them and make him wreck your gear. Too easy. You win.

PongoZ replied to mithrawndo's topic in General Discussion
ya the game is boring, so you fight that bordom by trying to show how tough you are or what ever that is you were doing, and others fight the boredom by trying to stay alive and away from you. you just proved KOS in the game but then came here with a pathetic attempt to say the other guy was anti social. LOL glad you hand cuffs make you happy, Rocket put them in for you. -
I wish we were forced to interact with others to survive...
PongoZ replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
The more valuable you make each persons character to them, the more griefers will want to kill that character. It will do nothing to effect the interactions in the game bacause you will never be able to trust anyone, any more then you can now. You can maybe trust someone else who is playing to grow their character, but how do you tell them by seeing them. you cant. so you shoot that person you see. Period. -
Why is development time being poured into more new towns?
PongoZ replied to uberfrag's topic in General Discussion
Yes I read it, you must not have meant what you think you meant. There is no harm in them having teams that work on different priorities. Doing one thing doesnt mean they are not doing other things. Just keep whining if you prefer. -

PongoZ replied to uberfrag's topic in General Discussion
This thread is the equivalent of saying why are we re sampling the sounds for the Mosin when zombies can swing through buildings? the two activities likely have zero overlap in resourcing. 30 million lets you flesh out the team into specialists on parallel streams of effort. -
New version of Rift with IR head tracking like the Track IR uses and 1080P oled screen. Just needs separate gama controls and its DayZ ready!
-
Just to find a server that has some visibility. Normally when I log into the last server I was on and its terrible dark, I try for a bit but end up changing servers when my head lamp has been beaten off me by the invisible zombies that can see just fine.

How many people do you kill in a life on average?
PongoZ replied to Mays (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I would have to be cornered before I would kill anyone. I move away from all contact that I am not expecting. -
Sure hope your wrong.

Water and energy consumption rates figured out - and they are not as I expected
PongoZ replied to (TMW) Merino's topic in General Discussion
sigh, I have walked so far. sigh. I wish I never knew the truth now! -
I have mine with 2 mags and pristine aim point sight. Wish I could put the weapon flash light under the barrel. looks like there are rails for it there. I like it, I hate how the gun blocks my head mount flash light though, what is with that? I only play survivor, and the hand gun is excellent for that. I find that it is too random to get close to the Zs, the axe misses, they get a lucky hit, and destroy another head lamp...

So people getting kicked and banned by Battleeye are hackers?
PongoZ replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Utterly doesn't mean what you wish it means. that old bans were not longer in effect and old hackers where glad that they could play again is not "utterly" different then removing the bans. They were celebrating being back in the game. Wonder how many have been banned again that were banned in the old mechanism. Really -

PongoZ replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
I like how they removed banns from the game to let the clowns back in, just to get their 30 bucks and ban them again when they went back to the well. Almost as much as I like the 10 page belly button gazing about why someone would hack the game. LOL -
the number of people in the world that could hit a man sized target at 800 meters with a random Mosin Naget and random ammo is about zero.

No really, all of you wanting to blow rocket is very cool, but they cant leave a communication person or someone to dribble stuff out over the NZ month long xmas holliday? lol

In my opinion, the current compass is an example of over-design.
PongoZ replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in General Discussion
Its not that bad. Its kind of like a real compass. Its a bitch at night though -
The only solution for DayZ: Simulation.
PongoZ replied to SalamanderAnder (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
"Another key feature of this cell system is that travelling into a new cell increases the value of your character's life, as you would not be able to respawn in what I call the "frontier" cells. " Great concept. And the game could expand to un-spawnable realms to add interest. combined with cool gear only available in remote locations and you have a good reason to stay alive. The level of simulation for each kind of activity could be of course scaled to the effect wanted in game, but as a path I think selective simulation enhancement is cool. In the case of cars, you make the thing not start if you do something wrong, or turn over but not start etc. In the case of Helos, you make it so the pre flight will show you the repair was not successful, or degrade the behavior of the aircraft with a poor repair. I think Walking Dead kind of surgery would be cool in the game. -
Sling is a must,

What are your thoughts on camping snipers at Balota?
PongoZ replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
My current spawn started a week ago on the pier in Balota. In full day light, triggered a zombie but managed to find an crowbar before he hurt me too bad. killed him and then snuck out through the buildings to the nw. But the whole time I was sneaking out of that area, A slow fire fight was going on at the air field. It made it awesome to me, I also saw 2 or 3 other bambies but they never saw me and they were heading back to the air field. So for me, that was very cool. I think most of the people who die there know they are taking their chances right?
