Inoperable (light/heavy) Military vehicles as safe houses.
Chris529 replied to Talibambi's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
if you know there's someone in there, whack a smoke grenade down the barrel and shove a wet towel in. smoke em out :P -
I think it would be cool if logging off meant sleeping, if you log off on the grass you get less rest than if you log off in a bed. You might play a few hours and your character gets tired and you have to let him rest. Also I think you can go prone inside tents but im not sure, so if you knew someone was coming you could hide in one and pop out when they are looting.

Results after a week of hard play (Suggestions/Critique)
Chris529 replied to Noquid's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
nighttime with no moon is just walking around without eyes, even with brightness turned up. Though I still do prefer to play at night because as long as you are quiet zombies can't find you at all which is nice. agreed about the vision, when your blood is almost gone you pass out randomly all the time and can't see anything but I guess it's better than running around with perfect vision like nothing is wrong, that would be dumb. As for healing, usually if you go up to someone and say hey I need some help you won't finish the sentence before they shoot you. Sucks it's like that but it's almost all i've seen so far, though there are people that help. -
everyone's probably gonna dump a giant shit on you for trying to make the game easier, but I think it would be a good idea. As long as it's their first spawn after they die or something, not teleporting around the map because they are in a lobby. It's hard to find friends at the start and it's annoying when you just want to find them so you can move on instead of running around the coast making no progress. by first spawn I mean if you all die you can spawn nearer to each other or something on the coast not after running from the spawn point though

DayZ Scenario: Would You Kill or Help
Chris529 replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
i'd maybe see if he can give me a decent gun and tell me where abouts the shots were coming from, then I would try to hunt the sniper but if I get him or not would probably help the guy but if he does anything suspicious he's dead -
quality post, 9/10 would read again Closest thing to holstering at the moment is you can point your gun down there's a bind for it in the options

BE Ban Appeal, Community Banlist Report
Chris529 replied to BaddiesRForever's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives

I know a few steaks won't bring you back to life 100% but it gives you a boost so even if you get wrecked you can go hunting and heal fully in time

Admins that spawn stuff to be "Helpful". Yes or no?
Chris529 replied to IcyZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
OP should have not said "helpful" because I like helpful admins, who sort out problems with hackers etc but if they are teleporting and giving everyone stuff it's not helpful just ruins the game -
I'm a lone wolf and I just keep 3-4 steaks on me, works well enough.

Outstanding bugs before new content.
Chris529 replied to disorder's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
ive been waiting awhile for the chopper leaks to be fixed I hope it gets fixed because atm I have to have 6 jerry cans at my camp so if I need the chopper I can fill it up and fly it to nearest gas tank and spend 10 minutes giving it enough fuel to travel good distance. Ties in with second bug I mentioned because it's a little bird, unarmed but you gotta repair missiles and extra glass wtf -
Outstanding bugs before new content.
Chris529 replied to disorder's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
how bout choppers leaking out all their fuel cause a window is smashed? also i dunno if its a bug but surely it's un-intended, some vehicles need a lot of parts like way too many. for example I found blue skoda van and according to the scroll wheel list there's EIGHT tyres that need to be fixed... i'm sure ive seen it with other vehicles too, it's just weird. I agree with OP but gotta admit that roll is useful don't have to get hit crossing fences anymore -
Bonus for long term Survivors Suggestion
Chris529 replied to wireworld's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
could be alright maybe not HP though don't want to make it too unfair but I like not getting hungry/thirsty as fast that would work. -
OK idea but they should have stopped it when it became un monitored

battleye: admin ban, but why?
Chris529 replied to ianhargreaves80's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
hopefully there will be official servers with paid admins or something instead of anyone with money can have a server and shit on whoever they want -
I think it should be moved further from the coast, much further out into the sea a few kilometers with a maximum security prison or something
-
my advice is to keep your m4, trust me i've had the bizon a few times and even if you are killing zombies it takes a lot of body shots to kill, it's like an automatic makarov with a big mag. However your m4 does much more damage dropping zombies (and people, just in case) in i think 2 shots. bizon mags have 64 bullets i think so thats about 2 m4 mags BUT when you consider the damage per bullet its more efficient to go with the m4. also remember the m4 you have has a much better sight than the bizon and far more range. Ammo is also important to think about, i've only ever found bizon mags at crash sites with the bizon, however you can find stanags everywhere just take a trip to stary sobor and you should be ok for awhile.
-
I don't think I have a bizon anymore (I'll check soon and edit post) But I have a question; why do you want a bizon if you have an m4a1 cco sd? Damage wise it sucks and unless you get headshots you chew through your ammo quicker than you think

SUGGESTION: Alcohol, and how it would effect gameplay.
Chris529 replied to Filipino-Hooker's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Why is the whiskey always gone? -
would be cool if you could run towards an obstacle holding V and when you get close to it you jump over it or if its a wall you jump and grab it and pull yourself over it. edit: in the latest update you can tap v while running and your character will jump and roll which will get over those small fences etc which is awesome

Incredibly Minor Gripes Thread
Chris529 replied to Dreams_Of_Cheese (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
that mostly pissed me off playing Lingor because you could be in a heavily wooded area but no trees work gotta find a damn jungle. Thing that pisses me off the most has gotta be choppers leaking fuel when not 100% (unless it's been changed now?) I found an mi17 and spent ages running back and forth with jerry cans. it worked but whenever i came back to it later I had to give it a little gas fly it to nearest tank and do it all over again. also maybe not so much but when it rains if you are listening you can sometimes hear what sounds like a footstep on grass it constantly scares the shit out of me -
I lost my 200 day old character with every tool, nvgs (you get the idea a lot of good stuff) when I tried to get onto the shipwreck east of Khelm. I was swimming into the rear of the boat which was underwater and it looked like I could get on but nope cruch argh unconcious dead in a second.
-
IMO if you can wait until the combat timer runs out and they havent shot at you its probably ok to leave
-
Definitely needs to be in so if the pilot either loses connection or gets shot the copilot can take control. off topic TrackIR is pretty cool, have you got DCS: Black Shark or DCS AC-10 warthog if not I recommend you at least get black shark its a great sim and I hear it works great with track IR

though apparently those guidelines are no longer enforced at all so public hive admins can ban almost whoever they want Smasht_AU Posted 28 January 2013 - 06:08 AM There is no longer an active support team for the mod. Rocket turned this over to be run by the community some time ago. This also means that more and more parts of DayZ have become less strict and many server rules are no longer enforced. We have even considered removing the server reporting section entirely. Some people aren't happy with this and that's understandable, it probably could have been handled better but that is the reality of the situation and complaining about it isn't going to change anything. I hope you understand. Time is simply being spent elsewhere. Also please note, forum team members are only responsible for the forum. We have no control over servers or admins and can't enforce server rules or blacklist servers. Fraggle was really going out of his way to try and find a solution for you but it's not looking like he should have even bothered to be honest. Edited by smasht_AU, 28 January 2013 - 07:18 AM.
