Feral (DayZ)

seeing the trailers I think this game will want absolutely nothing to do with wwz, shame cos the book is awesome.

Somewhere with lots of cross map rivers, streams and deltas to give boats a proper role, maybe the swamps of Louisiana like where they filmed the movies Deliverance and Southern Comfort, those in-bred cajun hillbilly types would make great zeds.

yep, if not do away with them altogether limit them drastically or maybe give the batteries a life of say a couple of hours, all suggested before but pertinent to this thread.

that's the mod I've been praying for, ty for the link

now redundant spam response - DELETED

As I said I'm sure there are a few out there. And you're right to point out that there are ways to fuck with NVG wearing players, that's how I manage to get thru most night time engagements, but the fact remains that when the sun goes down most unequipped players log off and go in search of a GMT -7 server or whatever. There are those of us that don't mind that some dudes have NVG's and relish the challenge of night time play, it would be better with more players though and for that to happen there needs to be some kind of change, I just repeat a well worn suggestion.

Tru dat ^ but this ain't about being fair, it's about making night time more popular, I love NVG's but sometimes I'd rather they weren't there so playing at night was like playing at night. I'm fine either way, I play at night with or without. Anyway, how many sets of fully functioning NVG's and Thermal scoped rifles do you think are gonna be springing up after an apocalyptic event? i'm sure a few but I've played on white listed private hives (so no duping/importing) with 20+ players all sporting NVG's. and no one else stays on for long after the sun goes down. It may as well be daytime with everyone wearing green sunglasses.

I don't see the problem with night time, it is tense, it is scary and those are 2 good reasons to play right there. Some nights have a full moon where it can be fine without NVG's or flashlights/flares etc, other nights are pitch black and you have to get the torch out. When I play at night i dump everything in a tent/vehicle except what I'll need to accomplish whatever my goals are for that session. To make night time more popular you need to get rid of NVG's and Thermal scopes, make things better balanced, that's why a lot of folks stay away, cos there's little sense in risking it if you know there's a few squads/players out there who can see like it's daytime and you need to get the fucking Bat signal out just to see the fence you're banging your knees against.

can you use military flashlight with the CCO?

was the guy driving the uaz frapsing? cos he saw it all either some glitch or you guys can't shoot fer shit, either way would have liked to see footage of him running under water

hatchet is sweet, but the brain is the best weapon, don't matter what you packin' if the old grey matter is lackin'

BEXXXXYYYY!!! lol

^^ what he said lol it ain't 'rocket' science

take dat

folks getting scared always funny

personally i like playing when it's pitch black, no messing with vid settings, just a gun with military flashlight. It's scary as hell therefore it's fun

No, yes and no

show me a world that is fair and i'll show you a server

would like to see a legends of dayz in-game interview series, a few potential interviewees Mitch Connors DrWasteland Frankie Scary noises fella Rocket HetSteak (obviously) etc......

Day Zee hor me too thanks OP for pics

no lynching here dude, just folks with differing opinions trading blows. There's been no threats made, no litigiously personal insults, no real hatred, Sacriel and co know they have thier detractors, they never cared before why care now? You put yourself out there, in the publics gaze and this is going to happen, it's all good, every piece of feedback we get in life has value. We don't have to agree with it and it takes courage to accept that not everyone is gonna like what they see when they look at you or what you do and the way you do it. Those guys troll and trash talk with the best of them, sure there are some strong opinions on show here, and that's just how it should be, get stuck in, win the debate.

why don't you interview randoms in-game? fraps it too might be fun

If zeds aggro towards direct in-game speech then people will avoid using it. Personally I'd like to see a version of dayz (and other games for that matter) that are played without 3rd person comms or 3rd person view. For me that would be the most realistic way to play it. Maybe in game speech could be made more able to reflect things like distance between speaker and listeners and volume eg whispering and shouting. Would make squad play very tense, you'd have to use speech as carefully as you use gunfire.

cool story bro

agreed beans
