Veteran or Normal, your marker should be on the map.
jdz (DayZ) replied to electroban's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It's just a name for a skill setting, you don't need to be a veteran to play it... And the waypoints are a server side setting, they can be disabled -

Yes, take 1/2 of the game away by putting a marker on the map, great idea! -
Combat Timer in 1.7.5, Worse now than ever before.
jdz (DayZ) replied to -Guardian-'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Fuck the OP, combat timer works perfectly. Stop being so inpatient and get over it -
NVG glasses in 1.7.5.1 [warning: spoiler]
jdz (DayZ) replied to _Anubis_ (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Lets be honest here, do NVGs really belong in a survival game? Same goes for .50 cal and thermal weapons. They don't, at all. I've been playing on a server without all of that crap and it's been great -
The other day I destroyed a red brick building by shooting someone through the window. Seen relevant to this thread

Dayz standalone suggestions are just getting out of hand.
jdz (DayZ) replied to gamerman001's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Even needing to poo and pee is stupid, it's just pointless animations. -
I can't believe people don't want 3rd person removed... Sure the FOV is a bit shit but that can be adjusted. Everytime I see someone pro 3rd person I just think they're a crying noob, there's literally no reason to keep it other than exploiting it. Arguments like wanting to see your gun model and player skin don't count either. If you want to play and look at the pretty pictures, go and play Crysis.

Where does the Vodnik spawn in Taviana map?
jdz (DayZ) replied to bleedshow's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Settle petal. But feel free to turn your DayZ server into yet another server that completely defeats the purpose of the game, that is fine with me. -

That is even stupider... Thank goodness Standalone will cull this stupidity -

You'd be silly to disadvantage yourself by taking the M107 over the AS50. The only advantage the M107 has is that the mildots are correct, the AS50 scope is fucked

Because if the game were based in America, the zombies wouldn't be a threat at all. They'd be so fat and lazy they wouldn't be able to move, at least Russians can run!

I think this really needs to be addressed. Recently my friends found a server that you can buy bases, starter gear and vehicles on. This is fucking ridiculous. Today my friends decided to attack a base we'd found, they have a gas station, helicopters,Urals and even BARRACKS! Does this not completely defeat the purpose of the game? Shit yeah it does! Their members are all geared to the teeth, obviously. We killed one guy who had 6 range finders and 6 pairs of night vision goggles on him... There are also rules that surround these bases, you aren't allowed to destroy the base or vehicles, you're not allowed to take any of the vehicles. The starter gear is pretty messed up as well, if you pay $60 (AUS Dollars) you can spawn with - 60 - Supreme package: Weapons: M14 aim - 3 Mags M9SD - 4 Mags Inventory: Cooked Steak 2 Water Bottle's Range Finder Night Vision Goggles Map Compass Watch Military flashlight Hatchet Matches Medical Supplies: 4 Bandages 1 Painkillers 2 Morphine 1 Bloodbag Backpack: Alice Backpack Extra items inside of backpack: 1 Painkiller 1 Morhpine 1 Epinephrine 1 Heatpack 3 Cooked Steak 2 Water Bottles 2 Pepsi Something seriously needs to be done about this...

If third person was removed from DayZ...
jdz (DayZ) replied to Imafighter's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
3rd person removes far to much IMO. Sure, the FOV in 1st person kinda sucks but it doesn't take long to get used to. 3rd person makes combat lame, you don't have to expose yourself to peak. I believe there'd be a lot less banditry if 1st person was forced -
What? They're reasonably common in private hives...

Poll of best mid range weapon
jdz (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Chill out man :/ I merely stated that it is no where near as good as it was, there's no need to get mad. I am well aware that is is still a decent weapon, it just used to be better. And for the record, I used it ALOT before it was nerfed, I even netted a 200m kill with it on a player who had a Mk48 -
Poll of best mid range weapon
jdz (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The Winchester used to be awesome, right when DayZ was first released. Now it's an underpowered and loud piece of shit, like all if the shotguns. -
Poll of best mid range weapon
jdz (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'd go as far to say the M14 is the best weapon in the game, fullstop. It's so versatile, you can use it for anything close range but at the same time you've got the ability to hit a target out to 200m with ease, you can stretch that out to 400m but it starts to get very hard at that range. It's also far more accurate than the Mk 48 -
Those aren't snipers, they're kids spamming long range rifles. Snipers are a whole different story
-
Lol, training in a public game... GG. Might as well dress up at the same time
-
Yes, I read it. I'm just sick of noobs complaining all of the time about changed. Either work on it yourself or piss off
-
Fucking get over it. The game is super easy as is, they're trying to make it harder. It sounds fine to me, also a lot more realistic like what people seem to be screaming out for

Bonfire, buying bases and 'rules'
jdz (DayZ) replied to jdz (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Charging people for starter gear and bases is not a way to fund a server, it's a blatent money making scheme. We have run servers for a few months now and not once have we done anything like that -
Bonfire, buying bases and 'rules'
jdz (DayZ) replied to jdz (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
That isn't a viable reasoning Anyway, I just thought I'd shed some light on this in the hope it causes a ruckus :thumbsup:
