    Take on helicopters (DayZ SA)

    rossums replied to finkone's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    This is certainly leading my 'retarded post of the week' award so far. Choppers should NOT be accessible by everyone, choppers should not be ridiculously easy to use. They are not being punished for not playing, the other players are just getting an advantage of playing more - that's like wanting to cap everyone playing World of Warcraft to 3 hours per day because that's all you are able to play. This isn't another run-of-the-mill clusterfuck that is going to be picked up by 13 year olds COD-kiddies, it's not instant-gratification where you get your hand held the entire way and guns thrown at you from the start, AND THATS THE WHOLE POINT.

    Brilliant work as always from kleutscher.

    PLaying DayZ on a Mac

    rossums replied to selfhelp's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    You forget to mention that a single Fermi card sounds like a hair-drier, so 2 must sound like a jet going off. Not to mention your CPU is utter shit too. Macs are not a POS, far from it, some of the best hardware you can buy, just because you don't like them doesn't mean that they suck. Grow up.

    [Poll] Whitelist

    rossums replied to Bram (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives

    Many admins do background checks on players before letting them in, they just don't open the floodgates. Many have to fill out applications with information so it's easier to find out information about prospective players. Why would charging money mean that they wouldn't be a hacker? It makes literally no sense, the only difference between a paid server and a normal server is the money - I'm sure they wouldn't mind wasting a few bucks if they already have their Arma II key on the line.
  5. rossums
    Yes, but the point of DayZ is that everyone is thrown into the same scenario, with the same items and no advantage over each other. Introducing advantages to players that choose a certain 'spec' just ends up imbalancing the game. If you want advantages you should ahve to scavenge and fight your way to the top like it is now.

    [Poll] Whitelist

    rossums replied to Bram (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives

    Why on earth would anyone want to pay for a whitelist server when there are numerous other whitelisted servers with active admins charging nothing?

    Vehicle Cover

    rossums replied to ididi9 (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions

    Vehicles are easy enough to hide, the trees are the problem. The trees will most likely be fixed in standalone so choppers can't see through them - other than that they are easy as hell to hide.

    Instanced scenarios.

    rossums replied to outrider5's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions

    Instancing areas will just splinter the community and make the game worse. The whole point in DayZ is that it's one big persistent world.

    It's a sandbox, not some crazy RPG. Keep it as it is.

    Very noob Question but.....

    rossums replied to Katell's topic in New Player Discussion

    Shock? Epi-pen? EDIT: I don't think shock exists anymore. Ignore me.
  11. rossums
    That just looks like a clusterfuck, far too many vehicles.
  12. rossums
    If you have enough time to kill you should watch the talk from Dean Hall (Rocket) about the future of DayZ. He briefly goes over a few of the features he wants to add, although not in detail. Its good for sticking on in the background.
  13. rossums
    Don't worry, it's already getting put in the standalone. They are implementing a 'zombie lifecycle' where the longer they go without food they degrade and lose speed and strength.

    Dayzmad.com UK 1 server - avoid it.

    rossums replied to Seitan (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives

    Don't worry, idiots will be idiots. Loads of immature admins that have no idea how to administrate a server own servers so it is unfortunate that you came across this one. So many morons that put 'traps' that you will be banned for accessing (Especially when they are placed in obvious places) and they are purely used because the admins haven't learned how to properly administrate their own server. Just don't sweat it and try find another server ran by admins that weren't dropped on their heads at birth.

    Ambient reminders of social collapse.

    rossums replied to outrider5's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions

    Yeah. There is a small island off the coast of Cyprus, Famagusta, that gives the right sort of vibe, the only place for me that would be perfect. After the Turks attacked the Cypriot island everyone just all of a sudden left, it honestly looks like every just dropped what they were doing and ran. Cars in the street, houses, hotels, shops all just suddenly abandoned - it's creepy as hell. Here's a few photos:

    Why does everone shoot frist?

    rossums replied to lt88's topic in New Player Discussion

    If everyone shoots first and you don't shoot first that would therefore mean that the other person would shoot first. If they shot first you would die therefore you shoot first. Yup.. We're good here.. That makes sense.
  17. rossums
    It's a mod. You wake up on the beach and oh shit, there are zombies. Nobody really knows. In the DayZ Standalone they are going to reveal the 'storyline' type arc to you if you do a little digging. There will be various clues and opportunities to find out more through exploring and examining the infection. We're just going to have to wait and see before there is a canon reason from the developers.
  18. rossums
    It's all good. Even if the formatting is terrible people will accept it, but Comic Sans.. oh no.
  19. rossums
    You deserve your formatting going all wonky purely because you tried to use Comic Sans. It should be punishable by death if you are over the age of 12.

    Why do I lag in Dayz? ):

    rossums replied to Minariability's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    CPU is balls. That is all.
  21. rossums
    Really? Marking crash sites on the map? That's a bit silly - people are just going to head for them to gear up rather than the fun part of 'Oh shit! Oh shit! Crash site over there!' then running to see if there is loot.

    Day Z

    rossums replied to Liam3's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    You would need to add a graphics card to be able to play DayZ.
  23. rossums

    Flying Boats?!

    rossums replied to BERSERKERMAN395's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery

    The best thing that has happened to you in game is a hacker? You must suck donkey balls. It's shit like this that ruins the game for legitimate players and morons like you that praise and promote them just make it worse.

    How

    rossums replied to Lebenese's topic in New Player Discussion

    It's the '.' key to change channels and the '/' key to start typing into whichever channel you are in. EDIT: The ',' key can also make you go back a channel too, but I have it unbound so I forgot about it.
  25. rossums
    Pretty much - the implementation to stop 'peeking' would essentially remove the advantage of 3rd-person but still allow those who prefer 3rd-person to use it rather tan forcing 1st-person on everyone.
