Newbie looking for help to get started
bigdogsco replied to Boolsy10's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would love to but I'm away from my beloved gaming rig. Just read a few of the quick start guides in this forum or check youtube and dive in! Nothing like a bit of hands on experience! If you have any specific queries myself and the rest of the forumites (is that a word?) will be happy to help. -
I use dayz commander. They have a filter for public/private servers. To use it is to love it.

Not until that pesky grand unified theory thing pans out it aint.

Combat loggers now get replaced with bots!
bigdogsco replied to Azrail (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Its about time. Now all we need is anti ghosting and we're set. -
Plus with experience you will come to know which buildings you can run through to lose zombies. Any building with 2 entrance/exits will do. Run into the building and out the other side. As soon as you get out go to crouch run and turn a few corners. I never really take much care around zombies that I know I have spawned. They can't catch you if you're sprinting, so as long as you keep running you're safe. Its a whole other matter if someone else has spawned the zeds though. Then I'm careful, but not for the zeds sake!

Why you should not enter Object A2, Namalsk
bigdogsco replied to Vysavacz's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
Where's the hug a buddy feature rocket promised us?Shared body heat is the key to surviving namalsk. -
It doesn't really bother me all that much. I get dissapointed but it only lasts until the next exciting thing happens.

Two thoughts turned into one
bigdogsco replied to Steak and Potatoes's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
You could shit in ruffles mouth and transfer disease that way. -
Its happened to me too. Except my server never came back :(

OK then its settled. Imagination fixes all! I'm off to imagine myself a post apocalyptic pizza.

Whoah you just rocked my world

Should just military or all weapons become rare in SA?
bigdogsco replied to wolfstriked's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would be interested to know how many weapons are actually in existence on a single server. If its comparable to what could be found in an area of similar size to chernarus then surely this whole topic is a moot point? Remember this is meant to be an apocalypse. Weapons etc would not be static and would move from hand to hand as people are killed or abandon the area. -
Careful what you wish... my life for a bigger backpack
bigdogsco replied to KEY (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
If you absolutely have to put stuff on the ground to help manage inventory, first put something worthless on the ground. This creates a new loot pile. Leave the gear screen and re-enter it looking at the new loot pile. Once you have created a loot pile your'e less likely to lose subsequent items. -
Well there's your problem!

I would love a bayonet. My happiest day was when they were added to Vietcong.

Been there done that. I had to drop my m9sd for a g17 then I used all my clips and had to ditch it for an m9. I have a warm place in my heart for weapons that have convertable ammo.
-
A wizard did it. On a more serious note, I've created my own little story to make this fit. A lot of snipers make their own custom ammo. They maybe add a wee bit more propellant to the cartridge? Or use a custom projectile? Either way I can live with this little oversight.

This has been my avatar ever since I graduated uni and could afford my first gaming PC and broadband in 2002. My mates called me it cos I'm rather tall.

Entering towns/loot area so fast nothing spawns
bigdogsco replied to mrspoon (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I usually park up 200m away and crouch run to the loot site. Once you have triggered the loot spawn you can run back and get the car and leave it parked up outside. Of course only do this if you wanna clear out the supermarket or barracks and you're sure there's nobody about who's gonna jack your ride (or unless your on an empty server) -
Hmm forum seems to be eating my post a bit. Its called an exploit! It can earn you a ban from other games. You're lucky we're just snarky.

Ha! Love it!

Can you shoot through building windows?
bigdogsco replied to svittidiu's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The glass is always too dirty for me to see somebody inside anyway. Might be my monitor. Or my glasses. -
Serves you right for logging off to avoid zeds.

Starving to death needs to be COMPLETELY overhauled.
bigdogsco replied to JimJam (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Random loot is random? Next time you will probably find food in every log cabin and never find a weapon. Shit happens. Personally, I'm all for realism. That's why I love this game, but the perception of realism is different for everyone and they can't recode the game to satisfy absolutely everyone. Its frustrating when some perceived fault in the game makes you lose your progress. We've all been there I'm sure. I know i have. The reason I don't rage about it is because dying in some stupid way and starting from scratch has led to some of the most fun situations I've had.
