A few questions for the "KoS playstyle" people out there....
irl-calibre replied to Felony Inhibitor's topic in General Discussion
I lived in the NEAF for about 2 weeks over the holidays so i'd say for at least 60h in game, I role played a soldier left to patrol the base until his unit returned, I tried to kos every fecker that I saw on the NEAF the whole time.. (my main purpose was killing hoppers) don't like the way I roleplayed it? tough shit my story.. -
What is, or will be, the point of this game?
irl-calibre replied to Alex Leonhart's topic in New Player Discussion
its not a game, its a story. go and find out how yours ends. -
ok i'm taking a guess here, but if it's like arma, the game literally drops everything onto the map, because of this items can move like tents and vehicles - more of which later I guess. this I think can lead to death in buildings and steep inclinations (you were dropped into the game world and fell through the floor to your death) - in other words learn from your experience, get used to the unexpected death and never log out other than a ground floor / level piece of ground and you should be golden..

A new idea to stop the "kill-on-sight" mentality
irl-calibre replied to Beetlejuice (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
you know one of the earliest examples of a handshake known to man is a statue of two soldiers? Whats interesting about it? they are using their empty "sword" hands.. If only there was some kind of lesson could be drawn from that, but, alas as there are no swords in the game I guess it's of no use. -
did anyone run up and beat you to death with their bare hands, take your weapon off you and kill you with it.. no? WHERE ARE ALL THE HEROES!! *oh! the humanity* swoons.. p.s - the game offered you the choice not to kill him, n'est pas mon ami? you could of just robbed him..

love playing at night, don't crank my settings, couldn't care less about people cranking their own , same way people glitching in hangars or jails doesn't stop me going to airfields, or that someone else playing on a potato with all low settings can see much more than I with all high.. why you ask? because I don't give two fucks I enjoy my own experience of the game and accept that i'm going to die - even though I've never been killed in sa at night once yet..

What do you think about TRUST ind DayZ ?
irl-calibre replied to sQubanny's topic in General Discussion
well in my experience of "trust" I've met loads of random people in this game, that I play with regularly now & who aren't so random., tbh the community that plays military sims are cut from a different cloth to FPSers in my experience, i've been truly amazed & stunned at some of the coordination I've experienced. You have to remember there are people who have been playing this game for years now really.. -

Suggestions how i could survive the ambush the next time
irl-calibre replied to Tikka (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
you wanna come in to the neaf from olsha and down the hill. never raid it west to east ever- it's not called sniper hill for no reason! from the sounds of the engagement that's where the shooter was. As frosti says though it's a glitcher paradise round the hangars and in the jails. -
keep checking in the 2 café/bars back bedroom? usually spawns med stuff, might find some morphine..
-
no many stand with you!
-
I'm sorry but what evidence do you have of that? the word of useless players that die a million deaths? there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of Dayz videos now on youtube of fully kitted out players not KOS'ing..
-
love driving over tents and flattening them! good bye gear *sniff sniff* or better yet, filling them with trash..

How to fix FPS drop issue caused today 2/7/2014
irl-calibre replied to Sinphaltimus's topic in General Discussion
what ever is wrong is not fixable by that tweak guide. my HC character who has painted guns? pretty much the DayZ.exe stops responding as soon as the inventory loads, I was using High settings, tried again with all normal settings and clouds disabled and it took maybe 10 seconds to stop responding the second time - I had to endure a 280sec timer to check the normal settings so I loaded my normal character who has no painted guns at all, ran around for about 30 seconds after the inventory loaded and pretty much just turned into a slide show and then the exe stopped responding.. -
if you're dying a million times in a survival game then you're doing it wrong, no? there is no score / stats there is only narrative, you drive your own story, it's going to take someone new to the game many attempts to get much further than the beach, you wanna get fit and healthy & have supplies to defend / attack - survive, each game a new chapter in your story, I've over 300 hours played in the game and I've been killed once by another player and have never been killed on the hardcore shard it's that long since I played on normal I couldn't even tell you where my character is. My story continues, I don't need stats i'm just enjoying my own wee story and adventures & staying away from being the guy handcuffed & poisoned while telling everyone they're friendly..
-
look at it this way, the first few times you quite literally wash up on the beach with no clue as to what is going on around around you, then end up handcuffed, stripped, and force fed rotten fruit and killed. Now when I wash up on the beach i'm practically a Chernorusian as I know the map backwards, know roads etc etc. All gained through player knowledge, so there is less chance I should end up..dead? the reward for surviving is good health in this game..
-
anyone remember the tears along the lines of "but... but.... they killed me from 1.6km away with a .50 rifle.. if they just took that nasty gun away no one would be KOS, how can they know i'm a nice guy if they kill me from so far away." ? - well its long gone, didn't seem to stop kos taking it away now did it? people are going to kill you in this game, you are going to have adversaries whether you like it or not.

it's all swag to me guv!
-
eh? why on earth would you assign 8gb of memory to a win32 application?
-
i'll just wait for a fix, not expecting a roll back, anyways it's a good excuse to go to the pub instead..
-
think its a memoryleak, feels like one anyway to me.. grinds to a halt and crashes
-
same for me, fps grind to a halt then the .exe stops responding. three servers
-
be veewy veeewy quiet..
