Will ARMA 2 be the seed of DayZ's destruction?
ZedsDeadBaby replied to TylerDurden (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Game looks great. Game plays great. Controls are fine. Bit sticky on walls and doors, but "clunky?" You mean kind of like how a human would be carrying around 225 lbs. of gear on their back and trying to maneuver in tight spaces? OP if you're bored, play with friends and come up with something to do. If you can't manage that, just go play another game. DayZ will live on without you I promise. -
Uh, oh! Not the dreaded "CoD mentality." Quick, someone hang him from the nearest tree and then burn the body. We don't want to take any chances.

how many people have you brought/introduce to dayz?
ZedsDeadBaby replied to BaitedHook's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
7 so far including myself. 8 if you count the two copies I bought. -
Why Can't I Place My Tent Anywhere!?
ZedsDeadBaby replied to Nickprovs's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yeah; or you know 2 minutes of googling the answer that has been on these forums 20 or so times and works perfectly, ninny. There were even responses to the thread you made days ago telling you exactly what to do. Yet, here you are, still bitching. Amazing. -
So are there now gangs of armed Bandits hunting defenseless Survivors?

You have feet? So chase them. "In real life" there wouldn't be a game designer you could run to and ask for magical dunce caps to be placed on all the naughty men so you could spot them from a distance. -
I don't know, why is your consciousness able to teleport from a dead survivor into a living one? Some things we have to take for granted. Persistent storage allows for long term goals. Camp building, vehicle restoration, high degrees of teamwork, supplying new recruits you bring into the game, etc. Eventually it will serve as a staging ground for many other mechanics rocket has proposed up to and including building settlements. Dying is still costly, no matter what - tents or otherwise. Most legitimate players don't have multiple NVGs or coyote elite backpacks or FAN FALs coming out of their ears. The ones who do are probably exploiting dupe bugs which will shortly be fixed putting them back on even ground. Dying still costs people their best stuff, and a long trip back to atent fraught with danger - often taking hours. It's still a massive setback and a detriment to all other things in the game. It's really punishment enough as-is without also wiping the slate completely clean.

Have vehicles become super rare since the up-tick in players?
ZedsDeadBaby replied to Bloggz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Would you expect to find a gold bar sitting on the sidewalk in NYC? Go somewhere with less foot traffic, and your odds of stumbling across a vehicle are increased. In the last 21 days I have randomly stumbled across, stolen or repaired the following: 2x ATV 3x Bicycle 1x GAZ 2x Military Offroad 1x Motorcycle 2x Offroad Pickup Truck 1x UAZ 1x Small Boat At least half of these I stumbled on at their spawn points, missing critical parts, which I then ventured out to find. The others came from discovering other peoples' hiding spots, or places where it seems people carelessly ran out of gas or broke a wheel (easily repaired with a bit of time). With clever parking and care, I have kept some of these in my possession for over 15 days - traveling the length and breadth of the map. I did all this alone or with one partner sometimes. No big clan necessary. You're not being victimized by the big, bad hoarding clans - and if you are, go and find their base. The idea that they all hide off the map is bunk - many of my vehicle steals have come from on-map bandit camps containing 4-5 vehicles in addition to the one I stole. -

So they didn't do any research' date=' looked at the front page for 30 seconds and thought the screenshots looked neat, and now we're supposed to change the game to suit their needs? [img']http://i.imgur.com/MZNHT.png -

Yes, so poignant. I'm sure I'll be seeing this splashed up in every forum thread on this topic in the coming days in an attempt to make some kind of noble point about the pending fall of the empire. To me it looks like a few guys having a load of fun, and some survivors who need to learn not to stand in the middle of a fucking field in broad daylight like a bunch of milk cows, or run up to a stranger's vehicle like it's a neighborhood ice cream truck. "Ding-a-ling. Oh, what's that? A Dora the Explorer creamsicle? How about instead I shoot your face off of your face?" If you've played the game for more than 30 minutes that should have come as no surprise. I guess we're supposed to feel sympathy for the lack-wits in that video? The master tactician who decided the best defense for a vehicle was to become a human speed-bump, and the other guy staring up at the sky? Probably taking screenshots of the clouds for his Twitter feed. Dudes in the UAZ are performing a public service. Call it DayZ boot camp. Lesson number one, get off the coast. Lesson number two, use cover. Lesson number three, get off the coast. Lesson number four, don't run up to a group of four armed strangers and expect a group hug. Know what I do when I hear an engine coming down the road? I hide. Under a tree or behind a wall. Then I watch and listen. Now these survivors will too. The smart ones will apply what they learned to their next attempt at survival. Oh, but they used dirty words and giggled and didn't make buddy-buddy with every mouth-breathing beach-dweller that sidled up to them so they're "not doing it right," right? They're ruining the game for those dumb shits who were probably going to die 90 seconds later to some other dumb mistake anyway? Once again we see a theme. You and your cohort of thought police hold the one true key to the proper way to enjoy DayZ and any methods of enjoyment that deviate from your decrees are poison and anathema to what the game is "supposed to be." Can you just post a link to the manual you're using? The one that has all the rules about how we're supposed to enjoy this game? What are we allowed to do, and those lines that you forbid us to cross lest we interfere in inappropriate ways with the prescribed and rightful enjoyment of the other people in the game? -

Umm' date=' yes? People killed many people in concentration camps. That's kind of mostly what happened there? Yes, they killed people there too. The Nazis were people. You remember that, right? They weren't like monsters or demons anything. Just normal people doing terrible things to their fellow man, and they didn't even have a zombie apocalypse to blame it on. Just economic and social instability and a particularly charismatic leader who said "Hey, it's their fault! Get them!" Siberian prison camps exist, dude. Humans built them. Humans sent other humans there to die. Humans run the places. It's all humans doing harm to other humans. So, yes. Again. Were these really supposed to be big points for you? I mean, you kind of came right in there in support of the whole "people are basically fucked up" argument. Kind of shot yourself in the foot. Far worse than the end of the fucking world? No, people haven't been through far worse than that, yet. Sorry to disappoint. All the inhumanity history has witnessed came BEFORE the zombie apocalypse... and you think it's going to magically improve after the fact? Yes. "Common sense" at work again I see. -

No. But' date=' it doesn't matter. Because I am thinking of a back-story for them. And I'm the one who matters to me. Get it yet? Do you? Yet? Also, you should re-quote my post. I improved the prose a bit, if I don't say so myself. -

Humans can' date=' yet they choose not to. Hmm, interesting. Perhaps you are nibbling a bit at the psychological cookie rocket has baked for you? Come on. Common sense says that? Really? Common sense prescribes eventualities for being stranded in the Russian wilderness an indefinite amount of time after the end of the world? Common sense makes no allowance for the fact that you've watched your entire family torn asunder, eaten, or worse had to shoot them in their beautiful faces after they turned and tried to eat you like a rare steak? Going to bed every night with the image of your wife's torn, bloody face in your mind, that last guttural sound she made after you shot her, now waking up every morning lost, smiling, patting the wet earth beside you hoping to find her there? To kiss her again? Just once more... Common sense hangs on, after that? After hearing your son cry out for you as he was pulled out of sight into a mass of swarming, hungry zombies, his cries of "Daddy, help!" echoing in your ear to this day? Wondering if you had just reached another inch, pulled a bit harder, not let his sweaty, bloody little fingers slip... if all that, maybe you would still have him, for one more hug? Instead you have the sound of a child's shoulder separating from the socket and an image of that hand you used to hold to cross the street, that watch you bought him for his birthday, then red, wet strips like licorice dipped in motor oil. She was an amazing cook, and your son was just learning to ride a bike. You can smell her hair, hear his laugh if you try, but you don't... not anymore. You hang on to common sense after that? You don't, maybe, wrap your sweaty tired finger around the trigger and punish the world for all it has done to you? You don't perhaps seed the earth with the blood of the remaining souls to silence the pain inside your head? You don't put your gun in someone else's mouth because your only alternative would be to put it in your own? Oh, horseshit. Ridiculous stinky horseshit. You have the choice. You made it. You shoot folk. Accept it. Choice made. Holy shit, dude. Come on. I'm trying to keep this at least a little bit serious and you're getting silly for no reason. -

I have to say' date=' Virfortis, my favorite part about your nonsensical, misguided contributions to this forum are these little gems. The times when you realize you have absolutely nothing of substance whatsoever to contribute to a conversation, so you just start inventing phantom evils that your opponents are apparently guilty of in this fucked up little black & white fantasy world you have concocted in your head where it's you and all the "true gamers" versus some kind of horrid, decrepit horde of half-humans who are out to ruin your fun and give you herpes. Like the other night when you accused me of "bigotry" mid-thread with, like, no lead-in and no follow-up. Still super interested to hear your basis for that accusation, or for that matter any of the ridiculous mental diarrhea you regularly sploosh out all over this forum. As to the OP, if you want a definition of "carebear" that probably fits the community norm, I would advise you to peruse post histories of people like vanilladragon, Virfortis or chickychickson. All good examples of people who think that all DayZ needs is a little dose of love and tenderness and it will be an amazing gaming utopia where everyone crowds around eating beans, singing campfire songs and giving each other slow, methodical hand jobs without ever breaking eye contact. I don't [i']personally like to use the term, but if it applies to anyone it applies to chuckle-heads like them.

Probably one of the most terrifying places in the game. Once you're in there's only one way out, and there's a shatload of angry zombies in the way. You would think that means awesome, crazy loot but since this is DayZ and your expectations can get fucked, it's actually pretty bad loot and mostly you will only find suffering and loneliness. Welcome go Gruner Berg. Although rumor has it a radio spawns there. Maybe foreshadowing things to come? Who knows. Mysteries abound. Also zombies abound. Don't forget about them.

Never Had This Kind of Emotional Reaction...
ZedsDeadBaby replied to Perfectblend's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ah' date=' back again to teach people the one true and only acceptable way to play, I see. I thought you had given up? Can't just take the post as what it is - someone enjoying this great game. Have to get your little jab in at the people who choose to play in a way that differs slightly from your lordship's decree. Please, teach us all noble Virfortis. We are all fools who thought the game was meant to be played how we wanted. We had no idea there was a codex. Please. Once again we take a knee and await your wisdom. You honor this "juxtaposition," yet it took place in the very same game you claim is being ruined at this very moment by all manner of miscreants and ne'er-do-wells. Tell me, in this ruin of a game, how does such a juxtaposition occur? Could it be that DayZ experiences are what we make them, and that if we stop worrying so much about how other people play we might find our own personal enjoyment in our own personal way despite whatever challenges and frustrations we face? I swear, by the time you decide to get down off that horse you're going to have a long fall. I haven't been turned into a "deathmatcher" yet. -
