    Cool stuff here, or even on the corpse as well, no ? I mean one or two eating from the corpse, then as a vehicule comes by (example of a corpse lying near a road) they would fly away then come back imediately . You guess this can help to identify corpses . And Yes, you often run or drive full throttle without spotting a dead body.

    Zombies as weapons

    What about throwing blood ? example : Bloodbags
  3. . One of the best: DUPLICATE You'll allways be geared like a robocop :P I personnaly use 3 favourite Low populated servers and settle tents in tsome hidden places of Elektro and Cherno. As I kill and loot dead bodies in highly populated servers in these towns, I only have to hop back to one of my 3 tent servers in order to store the stuff. -------------------
  4. . Always carry morphine B) -------------------------------------- .
  5. . The first time I spoted this kind of survivor wearing something around his head.. Ever since, I get the job done in order to keep my bandana.
  6. Hi guys; I'm quite sure about this problem and I am still trying to find the reason for it. Well; I haven't been playing at Dayz for a while and as I came back I find the following thing: While using my in-game multiplayer browser, it only uploads Private hive servers, whitelisted servers and special modded DayZ in my list (origins ; others..). This shouldn't happen since: - I'm using a normal and last version of DayZ (frequently updated with Six launcher) - I'm using no filters at all - The game is genuine and no sidemods were installed neither. I can tell I am experiencing this since I spent once again more than 40 minutes trying to connect to a global hive server. This time; I gave up. Thanks for helping me ; even if I'm doing something wrong.
  7. I guess I'll have to cope with that; I must admit I have been taking advantage of the global hive system for a long time. I could PVP in an area smaller than a square mile while always being able to grab a beer in seconds just by switching to my empty tent server.
  8. It means that public hives are disapearing then ? I can still find public hives but only since Six launcher"s browser. The big advantage of using my in-game browser was that I didn't need to load-back into the game after each disconnects (my computer is very very very slow) Does DayZ commander allow you to join another server without having to close the game ? I'm checking this out ---

    Your Dayz Hometown?

    Hmm; Am I the only one to stay in Elektro ?! Where to find the best and fastest loot ? - On a survivor off course ! Then, Elektro has it all .. Continuous flow of survivors ; lots of hidding places ; clear sight and very hard to settle for snipers. (significantly less chaotic than Tchernogorsk) Off course ; you must enjoy reading or doing something else while you're waiting

    HEAVY Duty

    Original tread has been changed due to the author's abusive use of colours and spaces. (me) Here are the big lines of the suggestion : 1 - Add new types of backpack. 2 - Bigger backpacks and smaller backpacks compared to the already existing ones. 3 - Backpacks and/or items would have an incidence on gameplay. (soundprint and displacement issues) 4 - Lots of items will be carryed outside the backpack (tent / canteen / gun) For example imagine a very large 50 slots airborne pack that would require to be droped in order to go prone or duck. As well as it will be noisy and agro the zombies faster. The same facts would apply for tactical vests or kevlars. So players carrying their whole kitchen and armories on their shoulders would transform into cowbells. Thanks for feedback.

    Church Bells Attract Zombies

    This is spooky as hell ; You have ma' beans ! But I'm afraid that Zombies would get used to it after a while.

    SA DAYZ Prison Yes or No

    For gameplay purposes I guess it could consist in a "town in it's own" with an ordniary cool russian name. Moreover, I don't see any bad reasons for not placing it on the shore (south). Given the fact that it can be located near a forest (prison turrets will still be visible many kilometers around) By the way, sea-prisons look awesome (though, it doesn't have to be exactly close to the sea if its high enough). Haunted ? don't need to haunt it. If it's dark enough, your mind will haunt it for you... :) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

    HEAVY Duty

    XD, I'm afraid you're right Usually I use colour only for titles and subtitles. Finally I did it all wrong Same for spaces ; it's supposed to help you to read faster. Ok, Ok , the suggestion sucks, let me few days so I can refund you. Anyway, the idea of the Duffel bag is great ! as it was already suggested few days ago here : http://dayzmod.com/f...g-new-backpack/ and it solves many issues. This bag is cool, it would work great as an additional storage capacity (carry a backpack + a dufflebag) I guess it will have to replace the main weapon slot in order to compensate. It would be a cooool feature as well if it apeared on the player's 1st person field of vision. See you soon.
  15. . 1) Get in your boat, make sure you have plenty of fuel and food. 2) open the map, Mark a Waypoint in the direction of Island 3) Find a rubber on your desk, cut it in pieces and put it on the "forward" Key. Then lay an empty and heavy object on the rubber+keyboard (My fav is a glass) And you're done , you have your Homemade Autopilot ! Enjoy your Nav, take into consideration deviation. Leave to the kitchen and prepare yourself some hot and chunky muffins"
  16. Hi everyone ! As said in the title, I'll need some support for banditism actions in the city of Elektro. The missions will only take place there. I have been playing this way since more than a month. I am now ready to share experience with other players. I may have some things to show you but you may also have lots of things to show me. The more we are the better it will be, but the missions will only consist of 2 to 5 men squads. To join this squad I suggest the player must have the following characteristics: - You preferably come from Europe. Or play in the early-mid-late afternoons if you're from the USA. - You are willing to play exclusively in Elektro. Trust me, you will like this. Combat competences: You detain a minimum of experience in the game and feel confident enough to perform the following tasks: - Identify secured positions for observation. - Perform slow-progression in the city (without running). - You have good knowledge of the different weapons and tasks they can perform. - You never use your weapon against zombies. - You clearly identify yourself as a hunter. Killing is a necessity and it takes 75% of your time. - You respect your defeated enemies and know to stop. (the way you deal with unarmed threats and missed targets). - You admit your mistakes because they bring you to know the main dangers of survival in Chernarus region. Personal skills. - You are trustworthy, polite and highly cultivated (or highly friendly) and will be able to share radio conversations (with your peers during the cold observation spots (when you wait for targets). - Patience. Even if it is an always crowded area and even if you will be having campfire conversations with your peers. We still recomend that you have the marksmen's patience. - You're creative but cold blooded and will not be shouting this kind of things in the Teamspeak : "- Help, a zombie is following me". MISSION INFORMATION. Tactics training programme. During the first weeks each player is going to share his tactics and discuss the major strategy issues related with town progression. How to make traps, how to estimate the right moment for decision and shooting. How to avoid Wizards (snipers from the forest) How to walk in the city and how to give the impression that city is empty.. Commander training programme. During war, there's only one commander. For this reason, after the training period, for each mission a commander will be chosen (each day each of us will be commanding). This commander will have the lead on the other players of the squad. Untill someone dies. It has the objective of implementing good tactics and it reduces by 300% confusion, dangerous, conflictual and hesitation situations. DISCIPLINE. There will be some very interesting procedures in the group. Here are some examples : switching of responsabilities, silence during displacement time, free conversation during observation time. There will be little rules but which have a high incidence of the quality of gaming. Advantages By joining, you will be shown some logistic techniques. There will be severall camps on different servers with any necessary weapon. The fact of playing teamwork will allow you to be equiped in consequence. INTERESTED ?? Let me know in this post ! For any questions, send me a PM, I will answer quikly. Drakan

    Looking for Elektro specialists.

    maybe but too much confusion and ankward situations when you lead this kind of fight. ('let's kill bandits"). It may be complex but it is simple in a way. No difference between bandit or survivor or hero because as soon as you turn your back, you'll get shot. Or one of their friend may just pop up and get you...
  18. Shaking, skins , ok but what about Sounds ?! As an Idea : a small music sample when you get killed by a cannibal. I think about some "amazonian indian flute sample with a very short percussion loop. it would last only total 1 second. Or : a noize that cannibal players will make each 10 minutes ; a kind of "oaah !" that sounds human but enough disturbing. Something that is triggered in the same way that of the ones zombies make but off course at a softer rate. AND it gives the fair-heavy enough disadvantage to these human fed players by compromising their presence. Chance and time will make the work so that players will always be confronted with this. Example: you're peacfully picking up some flowers in the garden and then entering this bar in Elektro. as you are in the last room you hear this cannibal giggle. It makes me think about something else, I guess the game should have more "soundtracks" (the sound effects ; factory sounds etc..) and less zombie sounds. So it will make a "false silence" ; it gives a very good atmosphere. Because once you get used to the zombie sounds it's no longer a fear factor.

    BattleEye Restriction #45

    Hi , I searched the forum for similar issues but I only found very few cases for the same problem. What is happening is that when I die, I'll get kicked by battleye at respawn. Since its happening on the global hive, I keep trying to connect to lots of servers but it still won't work. I log in, load character .. once I see the landscape I get the server kick with this message You were kicked from the server : (Battleye script restriction #41) After few hours, it gets to work (average two or three hours). It is simply annoying me. If any of you have suggestions, I'll be gratefull. I already tryed switching to private then returning back on the global hive servers and quiting the game then comming back.. Thankyou
  20. The shakes is a good idea but I think it only occurs when you consume parts from nervous systema. (brain and spinal organs). Off course, correct me if I am mistaking. But you shouldn't be dyijng as soon as you only consume fresh human meat (not rotten nor close to gutts, not brain or other nerves). There is something that always retained my attention: A lion can eat your brain but won't fall sick, but if a human does, he will develop the shaking. Looks like nature decided that.. I am posting a suggestion with Fatter thiner / taller and smaller players. It must be done. EDIT: negative, already too many suggestions with this feature

    Constantly kicked off games

    I have the same ******* problem. It does this each time I die and respawn... Then, during hour or more I can't join any Global servers without being kicked 2 seconds after spawning... I wanted to play hard this weekend, well... I got bandit skin with probably -300 000 humanity, The glitch maybe comes when the survivor skin is changed for the bandit one.
  22. Hi guys before reading this post, I would like you to take a deep breath and .. keep cool. Some very interesting ideas and suggestions may come out from your constructive answers. First let's embody this question: Given the fact that Dayz game is about playing survival and strategy against other players by hiding, crouching and running for survival. Don't you think that these thermal devices play against this feature of the game? I have nothing to say about NVG since you still can hide from it; An experienced and skilled player would go prone and wait untill the right moment to make his move. But where is the sense for playing as a sniper if the forest, bushes and ghillies don't protect you anymore ? I know that thermal L85 and the other.. are suposed to be rare, almost like in reality. Real life quality thermal devices are seen on heavy vehicules or equipment in big platoons. Usually they cary two or three of these for an entire garnison of 20 to 100 mens. But what I see in Dayz is that, each time you connect to a server with more than 5 players, you can see someone carrying the Thermal device. I don't think that in a post apocalyptic terran, survivors would carry such weapon on a 1/5 or 1/6 ratio (the statement about joining servers with more than 5 player...). Moreover if you look closer to what is sniping in Dayz, you will notice that "snipers" consist usually in squads of 2 to 5 mens carrying L85"s ; 50 cal rifles and who use to hop from server to server in order to kill the spawning or any other zoomed or non-zoomed targets. here again, you can avoid it, but after some hours of playing, I came up with the certainity that 50% of these "snipers" use a Hacks. Now we come on the major issue. Thermal is good, but due to the difficulty of the game and some particularities (duplication etc..) It is too present in the Dayz survival strategy. In every games there are players who only play if they have this kind of titanic advantage. I guess that lots of these players use the thermal device + hack + team + hoping. You now have the explosive recipe. The solution would be to make a try by entirely deleting this weapon from loot and to consider it as a cheated item. There are lots of things and different strategies which would arise from this removal. Lots of things to win. here are some examples: - Snipers could play stealth, as well as other players who could enter cities silently - Forest could be deadly and compose in a real hostile environment.(and not the current "close my eyes and hope that there is no player with L85 who spawned before") - Squad players could finaly assault and take over snipers. - organized squads could hold a whole city. - If you shoot, you're compromised, if you don't you can be safe. - squads would use Binoculars and not only the TWS scope - You can finnaly Hide somewhere else than in a building ! And of course, it would trigger a bigger use of normal sniper rifles. They are so exciting to use Who doesn't enjoy the sound of a DMR or a SVD when it was shot from far far far up in the hills ?: I hope that these elements could bring you on any possible Idea. I am maybe the only one to have such a point of view.. I will still share the opinions with pleasure. Sorry for my english, I'm french.
