Ways to improve LOS (balance if you will)
vonlinchen replied to Slyguy65's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
A very interesting post, this particular part I think could be great: -have zombies investigate where LOS was broken If zombies would begin a grid pattern walking around the area where they lost sight, this would be good. Perhaps if there is a building near where LoS was lost, then the zombies should walk into the building, wander around it. I'm not sure exactly what should be done, the idea of only some of the aggro being lost could be interesting but maybe not. Perhaps if there was a chance you could lose zombies? So only sometimes they would lose the trail. -
How my attitude has changed.
vonlinchen replied to vonlinchen's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
My advice to everyone is, safety comes first; - If someone is approaching your position then it may be best to kill them. - If you turn a corner and someone is there in your face, RUN, avoid them, use walls to block their line of sight. If you engage at point blank you have a 50/50 chance of dieing - Befriending people in game is hard, it is best to use comms with friends or perhaps try and find people to team up with out of game. (eg on the forums) - If you realy want to try and befriend people in game then do so as safely as possible, do not expose yourself. -

Run your ass off' date=' find a weapon, punish those bitches. Or not. [/quote'] THIS^^^^^ The day that Dayz becomes too hard is the day you get tired when running and zombies catch up to you and eat you alive.

Post your imaginary patch notes that you'd love to see

[FIXED] People bitching on forums [NEW] Ban hammer for people who don't understand what and alpha is -
Your an idiot, have you ever even played in an alpha test before? L2 Alpha Nub. I took part in the BF3 Alpha & that was 10 times less stable & more of a resource hog than this lol.

Demoralising and anti climactic end :(
vonlinchen replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Unfortunately life is boring especially when you live on your own in the wilderness. If you want memorable moments I suggest you operate around more heavily populated areas. You will die more often but more lives means more opportunities for memerable moments. -
I've never understood why people think that a city would be destroyed just because its occupance have turned into zombies. There was no battle with tanks & artillary, people just died.

As a old player, this mod is now too easy it un-playable
vonlinchen replied to Cappy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I thought this was the purpose of the sound aggro? (If you make too much noise then zombies aggro to you). Has this been nerfed for when your running? -
Is it worth the £25 for Arma II CO just for Dayz...
vonlinchen replied to Stokes-Mellor's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I bought Arma2 for Dayz and its totaly worth it, this mod is and will be amazing. However, I've found Arma2 to be very cool aswell. -
No part of what you just said makes sense, clearly you are unaware as to what scripting is. You sir are clearly a moron

It is my belief that there should be more challenging aspects to the game with valuable rewards. As it currently stands, NW airfield appears to have the highest zombie spawn rate & the best loot in the game. The only problem with this is that the airfield is a wide open space and it is easy to deal with zombies. I believe cities should be feared for their zombies & not just bandits, as it stands cities are a breeze & you can easily work your way through with just a starter gun without any problems. There should be a much higher zombie spawn rate in cities & more valuable loot should be centered around the center of these cities. This would give survivors a goal of reaching the center of cities. There is nothing in the center of chern for example that makes it worth while venturing in. The hospitals are at the very edge, the firestation is near the edge & the military camp is next to an open field... I'm not sure if editing the map is on the table at all for this mod but in my opinion zombie spawn rates should be much higher in cities & if at all possible more buildings should be added to the center of cities to make them more dense, perhaps a high value loot building or compound? Another idea could be to add more vehicle spawns in the center of cities or perhaps make chopper crash sites spawn more frequently in cities? There definately needs to be somthing that gives people more of a reason to venture into cities. Logically I would be best off camping deer stands, with realy good loot & no risk at all.

The one and only: Hackers rustled my jimmies thread.
vonlinchen replied to #BASEDGOD's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This is funny because this guy thinks he had valuable gear, I was witness to the same event with my friends. We lost an M107, 3 gilley suits, range finders, NVGs, L85A2 with NV & Thermal Scope, Silenced M4A1, Silenced M9, DMR, 6 sets of anti-biotics and countless other stuff. Some words of advice here: "Your doing it wrong" -

vonlinchen replied to #BASEDGOD's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think this is a more serious problem then the devs are treating it tbh. As we are all aware this is an alpha game and cant be looked upon as a finished product. However in terms of reputation I believe it should be of the highest priority to prevent hacking. This mod has grown massively in popularity because of good media coverage and reviews, if this hacking is left un-challenged the numbers of hackers will grow and then the media spotlight will change. Dayz will become known as a hackers playground, with no limitations on what they can do to troll otehr people who are playing the game. This will happen very quickly and its somthing to be worried about. Publicity is everything when trying to release a new game, if it receives too much negativity even before release, people will just write it off when it is released officialy. -
20 words or less: Super-Low Humanity Detection
vonlinchen replied to rocket's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
NO I think the heartbeat thing would be too obvious. I like the idea of bandits having a nervous tic & I also like the idea of bandits who have REALY REALY Low humanity or who havn't died in a while having no such tic. -
i was expressing my opinion not forcing it down your throat, asshole. i was just stating what cities turned out to be, not what the "devs" wanted them to be. No need for name calling, your post was badly formatted and that isn't how it reads. You should use phrases such as; "I Think", "Should", "In My Opinion", whereas you just made a statement.

The town hall sucks & is very easy to get to. I do not understand why a high density area has less zombies roaming around it than a small military camp or an airfield. I love how you consider camo & backpacks high value loot lol. This game should have more challenging elements, at the moment the hardest thing about it is having to walk miles between towns.

20 words or less: Spawning without a weapon
vonlinchen replied to rocket's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
MAYBE - At the moment running in with a Makarov to try and kill someone has no downside - You should fear and avoid large towns upon spawning - Having to find a weapon would be very hard - I dont think that people would be able to camp spawn points because they themselves would be killed by others camping - If anything this would prevent people DMing upon spawning - New players should be given a gun, because it is very hard first starting the game & you dont want people to just stop playing on their first life -
If you are bleeding or down then disconnecting should just slay you where you stand TBH. In reality your a deadman, I think the few legit dissconnects that would expirence this would be 100 times lower than the cheating bastards that DC. IMO

vonlinchen replied to mattlightfoot's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
If DayZ's popularity continues to grow at the rate it is, I can easily see the word "Friendly?" becoming a new internet Meme.
