Can't you combine a (ballistic) helmet and a gasmask any more? Is it intented? A bug? At least it's unrealistic (that they can not be worn together).
-
I did not speak of learning a whole language. Only of learning a few CHARACTERS (letters). Some are like Latin, some are a bit different, some are completely new. How much effort can it be to learn 10 or 15 signs? Especially since Greek letters are also common in western society (phi from maths and all that).
-
Can't rain please be an exception? As a new spawn who needs to walk around and search things you can do nothing except sitting moveless in front of your monitor within a house or ruin your char by getting a cold. (Stop that realism argument. Nobody turns on the computer to sit movelessly in font of the monitor. Sitting in a comfortable warm chair is even less realistic survival than taking the dog for a walk.) Arma 2/3 has commands to prevent rain even with a cloudy sky of which dayz should make use of.

What about increasing your horizon and spend a few hours to be able to read Russian characters and learn to translate the few words (gostiniza - restaurant etc)?
-
Since you can attach a battery to the sight for the FNX45 and can turn it on, I thought, it would have an aimdot. The item itself also looks so aimdottish. Does it have an aimdot? Does it need to be turned on? Is it currently buggy?
-
Indeed, removing the flashlight makes the red dot visible when you 'turn on' the optics.

Current ingame-time in server list partially useless?
roguetrooper posted a topic in General Discussion
Do servers start with a random date? Can the day of the year be chosen? When you join a server that currently shows 18:00 it can be pitch black when the day is 21st of December or still bright when the day is 21st of June. Maybe the time in the server list might be changed to a complete date, such as "Oct 4, 17:23". -

roguetrooper replied to roguetrooper's topic in General Discussion
Anyway, the unchangable vegetation always looks like late August or September, maybe early October. Thus, having a pitch black sky at 18:00 does not match the vegetation models (although it may be January in the 'background'). -
Dear devs, please remove that newly picked-up stuff is added automatically to the hotbar. Especially for food and drink this is some kind of annoying, since you don't need that quick access to food.
-
Rain, broken bones, zombies, 12 year olds, suicide, communication, melee weapons etc
roguetrooper replied to Hunter4's topic in Suggestions
This would have no effect to players killing players. Reducing ammo spawn means that somebody only needs to spend one or two bullets to collect 20. In my opinion nothing will stop killers from killing but a red number on top of their heads showing how many players they have killed. -
Stop adding picked-up stuff to the hotbar
roguetrooper replied to roguetrooper's topic in Suggestions
Anyway, I try to hold my hotbar as empty as possible (only melee weapon, pistol, rifle, binoculars and compass) since in the middle of a dangerous situation I don't wont to start eating just by hitting the wrong key. At least you can clear a hotbar slot by your own. Dragging any other hotbar item to another slot and then drag it back. But nevertheless the auto-hotbar-assignment should be removed. -
What is the ingame map for? It consumes inventory space, the parts need to be colleted. The paper map from Arma X (or printed from the internet) is much more convenient. Will the ingame map have any extended functions later?
-
Learning to read the cyrillic characters would also be a good opportunity to increase one's horizon. I had learned Russian for six years in school. It really isn't that difficult to read the characters (and Russian at all is not the most difficult language to learn). Some characters are identical, some look the same and some are completely new. I never understood why people complain (no offence) about the un-trans-litterated roadsigns and house inscriptions. Within one hour training one can be able to read all cyrillic road signs... though it may take more seconds... "what? ka-va... no... ka-ba-ni-no"
-
How can you turn on the pistol flashlight? There is only a single key bind option "Headlights on/off". Does this also operate weapon flashlights? It's pitch black night, I have this pistol in my hands. The flashlight with a charged pristine battery and the pistol itself are in pristine condition. When I press the bound key, it does not turn on.

Old Arma2 problem: char in world but still loading screen?
roguetrooper posted a topic in General Discussion
Some years ago (?) the A2 devs sayed it had been fixed. But even after that fix quite often the your character was already in the world (ready to be killed) for quite a while, while there was still the loading screen. I am under the impression that DayZ still suffers the old A2 problem (I know DayZ uses a modified TOH engine). Is is that hard to add the character to the world when the loading screen is gone and the player is actually in control? (Btw, I have a SSD, 16 GB DDR3 and 2GB Video). -
Most likely the title of this thread is misleading and it's not really a problem to troubleshoot nor seek I advice. Once I logged out with a fully equipped character in a safe place on a very low populated server with now zombies nearby. When I logged in again I started with a new character, thinking that my character died between the logout and his disappearance from the world. I didn't like the setup of the new character, so I ran to the nearest building and jumped down to die again and to be able to customize the next character. After jumping down I respawed with my old fully equipped character in the place where I logged out.
-
Can't remember whether it was the same server or the same game mode. Have I missed something? Isn't your character done no matter where he dies, since you can have only one at a time? First I thought, my fully equipped char was victim of an alpha bug.
-
Each time I start the game I have the default configurations (key binds and all that). Also I am forced to play with the name of my Windows account. Further, can you change the name of an existing character? Renaming the files in the folder "My Documents" has no effect.
-
What song best represent ts DayZ's intended atmosphere?
roguetrooper replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
Johnny Cash: The Man Comes Around. Corvus Corax: O Varium Fortune. -
Seemingly only world famous books have survived the apocalypse in Chernarus. Have you ever seen a book that is not known by everyone (Shakespeare and all that)? And there are only tropical/southern fruits left: kiwis, bananas, oranges. Most likely even in pre-apocalyptic times they didn't exist there. :D This is no complaint. Just saying :)
-
World famous books and tropical fruits
roguetrooper replied to roguetrooper's topic in General Discussion
I suppose it's just quicker and easier to name ingame books after titles you know than to think of new ones. Especially in Alpha state where some things are still a placeholder. Again, no complaint, I just noticed :-) -
Will (mounted) bayonet attacks be implemented? Maybe as an alternative "fire" mode?
-
Concerning server hopping. Since currently there is no way to see the the ingame time of a server, I sometimes need ten attempts to find a server that is not pitch black and thereby unplayable. (Many people just don't like playing at ingame night which can be seen by the population distribution. A server with less then ten players has most likely night time. The daytime servers are the crowded ones.) Back to topic: I hope the game will differentiate between people who are hopping and those just looking for a playable one. Maybe the hopping prevention should come into effect only one minute after having joined a server (i.e. one minute after being actually ingame).
-
Where have the hopper zombies from the mod gone? Note: No answer should include the word "realistic".
-
Do silencers have any effect right now? Locally there does not seem to be any difference. 1. Do other players receive a silenced gun sound? 2. Does it affect the accuracy or the damage value of the weapon?
