    Ballistic vest/chest rig idea for standalone.

    It feels like 60 when you're in the sun doing PT. It's terrible. XD

    The Release Date for Dayz Standalone

    Regardless of your belief or lack thereof it's still a compliment so long as you're not part of an anti-Jesus party. But hey, to each their own.
  3. A sob story doesn't make you more believable, it makes you annoying. No one cares about your houses, especially not BattlEYE, whose strict policy is "Your key is your problem, if you get banned deal with it." You can email them if you'd like but the only support you're going to get here is a link to their website and their email.

    Fix the hosptials?

    DayZ's quiet-and-loud system works not only by movement type and posture, but by surface material. Because the forest-grass and the city-grass use the same "Material" as far as the game engine cares, what is true for the forest must be true for the city. Thusly, if you wish to be quiet and hidden among trees (out of the city keeping your detection ratings low) then you must accept also being "Hidden" while on grass in the city. This cannot be changed unless Rocket-and-the-team create an entirely new Chernarus with independant textures created for "City grass" and "Forest grass," which is hopefully being done as we speak.

    Fix the hosptials?

    You can. It's great for hiding and scaring the hell out of new players. I have a 70% fall-through-the-roof-and-die success ratio though.

    Fix the hosptials?

    Are you kidding? Let's recount my last Elektro run: I wanted an AKM (my favorite weapon in the game) and some ammo, and maybe ammo for my M1911. Naturally, I went to 2 fire stations, 1 residential building, and a shopping center. I got: Shopping center: The big funnel backpack I can't remember the name of, for the life of me. Czech bag? 2 antibiotics. Bandages. Flares. Lee enfield magazines Fire Station 1: Antibiotics PDW magazine A second M1911 AKM magazine (jackpot!) Residential: Food Lee Enfield magazine. 2nd Fire Station: AKM (holy crap!) AKM magazine 3rd M1911 Bandages And then I ran by the smaller, lesser-banditalized hospital by the apartments and got antibiotics, antibiotics, blood bags, morphine, painkillers, and some food from a dead player + his fire axe. This was on a 30 something player server.

    I was going to say Rocket is Jesus but if you really want to insult him go ahead... XD

    Ballistic vest/chest rig idea for standalone.

    Standard kevlar armor (what's commonly referred to as a "Bullet proof vest") comes in 3 readily available forms: Normal, which is sold at intense markup to uninformed, silly consumers. Double-weave (It has another, more impressive name) that is used by police and light duty military (MPs, patrols, etc). Not that 9mm is incredibly deadly in the first place, it can prevent 9mm from seriously wounding at close range and .45 at 20 feet. I don't know how accurate either of these previous statements are, as I've never been shot by either caliber while wearing kevlar or otherwise. I have seen fire exercises on double weave with .45 before, however, and past 10-15 feet the rig wasn't hurt incredibly. Triple-weave is incredibly expensive but .45 won't do anything more than knock you on your ass if you're shot in the front, but it's heavy and not fun to wear (of course the only time I've worn it, it was a size too big and I bouncing around in a humvee sized for giants). Then there's ceramic chest plate armor used by the US military (I don't know who else fields it), but don't expect the units wearing it to do much running. Or jumping. Or... moving. It's heavy as all hell and you're at more risk of knocking yourself over than a bullet doing it. I've seen people hit in the chest with water slugs at 5 feet and not feel it (water slugs are like shotgun slugs... loaded with water, I guess is the best way to explain it. It's not deadly past 5-10 feet, but it hurts like hell. It's designed for destroying explosives without setting the explosive off). And for the millionth time, do you really think this isn't a planned feature on some level? use the search function for "Body armor" or "special clothes" and see how many hundreds of topics come up.
  9. This video being... where?

    What is this? (hacked or normal)

    I believe they're called "Abandoned survivor camps" or something silly like that, left by long-dead (or long-undead) "Survivors" (not actual players). Don't worry about them. They're like chopper wrecks: Decent loots, a couple zombies, lots of bandit snipers.

    You bloody well know he's not going to. The first batch of keys is going to be unannounced.

    Sound Problem

    You were wearing them backwards. If not, look up Razor's soundfixer program. It's pretty cool.
  13. DaiZy. Don't you know what google is?

    I'm new and need tips

    So is spawning in weapons. Just saying.
  15. So instead of putting the weapon in your inventory (I'm guessing a jacket isn't going to have room for an AR), you just chuck it like a phyx object left, right, or behind you? That would be interesting! Hall keeps talking about how everything is going to be a vehicle, I think this idea would work.
  16. 1652 is a private hive that tries to draw in players by calling themselves "US1652" and then traps them when players realize their gear isn't converting over to other servers. But this isn't a server report, it's a funny story. So I was running around 1652 with a R870. I shot a player in the back with a slug who was in the middle of spraying the Elektro hospital down with his AKM or AK74. I don't know, because after I shot him everyone was teleported into the debug zone. Except instead of being devoid of all things but hacker trickery, believe it or not there were 2 towns in the debug. Complete with hospitals, firestations, residential blocks, apartments, everything! (even with loot spawning!) There was a hacker (I assume) flying around saying in directional chat, "Welcome to Blackasldkja;kad;ad" or "Welcome to as;lkajkwiowo" (I didn't understand the names. He had a super thick slavic accent... go figure ^_^) depending on which town you walked through. The area around the towns were barbwired to be offlimits (so I was trapped). Well naturally I figured there was no way for me to get out of the debug plains with my gear, so I darted into the closest town (followed by a rush of other players and rocket-minigun shots from the flier) and found a RPK74 with 2 AK magazines and a M1911. I ran from house-to-house looking for players, food, and water (I wanted to know how long I could survive in PvP central but tool kits and the like wouldn't've been useful at all). The best part was when I found a frag grenade. I threw it kind of at random just to ditch it (I didn't want another player using it on me), and happened to throw it at one of the multi floor apartments. It fell into the hatch at the top (somehow) and exploded inside the building, killing the sniper and the machine gunner inside (haha!). I eventually died when T90s were parachuted into the cities and exploded when they hit the ground. The building I crawled into (legs broken) collapsed on me. :( It was freaking incredible. tl;dr: Update your anticheat scripts.

    Wish I was recording (US1652)

    The only feature DZC has to make it worthwhile. I think Slavic is an ethnicity... but they're still all hackers. :)
  18. Do you ever get text saying "Initializing" that hangs for a while? When you load into the game, go into options > video > display size and changed to windowed. Does that fix the color?

    Nature

    Someone's definitely high. Anyway: Birds stop chirping when zombies are nearby is a common, compelling troupe. They should also stop/screech at gunshots and hunting dogs.

    Balancing out the Infection

    The idea is still stupid.
  21. Shell casings that have been used can't be refit no problem; they get scorched, burned, stretched, and dented when a round is fired (the gas from a bullet is really hot, in case you didn't know). You'd still need a workstation and tools. In fact, I'd say reshaping a brass casing would be harder than melting it down and using a mold... and this isn't the US. The only things common in an ex soviet client are crime, poverty, and kalashnikovs. If the industrial foundation was provided that would be necessary for 10 year post-apocalypse scavenging of working parts, tools, and materials to produce bullets and weapon parts was provided to eastern blocs before the soviet fall, countries like the Ukraine would be leading exporters of "Russian" firearms. Thanks to this, the taxed gun market would bolster government resources and civilian response strength to the zombie outbreak. Potentially if the existence of these factories, and their parts, existed pre apocalypse, the "Apocalypse" might not have hit apocalyptic proportions in the first place. Long story short (tl;dr) you aren't going to find shit.

    No.
