Cannot use an improvised suppressor with a mosin compensator
Nihilum replied to trev186's topic in General Discussion
OP wants to strap an improvised supressor on the end of a compensator? Dear OP: Compensator Not. At. All. At least not in any concise sense. Compensators direct gas to... compensate... for recoil in the designated direction allowing the shooter to feel less perceived muzzle climb. Suppressors trap and nullify escaping gasses in a series of baffles that kills the sound of the expanding gas from a round but don't effect muzzle climb. One is directing the gas; one is nullifying it. The only thing similar is that they are both devices that focus function around residual gas from the barrel. Neither one effects the actual super sonic crack of the round itself... which is why subsonic ammo exists... Oh how I wish this game had subsonic rounds. -
From a fresh spawns POV, when you're getting chased by the current t-1000 terminator zombies that spot you from 200m out... running is all you do... Factor that in. Sure you can hit them if you have rounds to spare, but not when you're a fresh spawn with a .22 and only 5 rounds you have to feed individually. (and no melee weapon) My opinion, make the sway shorter but faster, like shaking hands and exhaustion would produce IRL. Serves the same purpose at range but doesn't cause you to miss a guaranteed shot at less than 1 meter. (statistically)

Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
Nihilum replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
Every single zombie I've encountered thus far has clipped right through doors. Many doors. Even doors on different floors. what game are you guys playing? :( And where can I get it? -
LOL -- I couldn't hit a zombie in the head from less than a meter away with a .22 (no mag). It's overboard. Way too much side to side play. It needs to strike a balance of enough sway to throw shots off at say 100m vs not shooting like diabetic with low blood sugar who also happens to have Parkinsons at less than 5m.

Seriously, add a restart button, I can't even play DayZ anymore
Nihilum replied to sketch814's topic in General Discussion
.. or force feeding them bleach/mass amounts of moldy fruit and watching them die slowly. *evil grin* -
... Don't play... Lmfao, seriously. Got geared the first two months haven't played and I have bugged and broken things in my inventory left and right that no longer have names, descriptions or pictures attached to them; some of these are useable and yet ruined. It's great. Makes me feel like the inigma from the first pokemon games. Bugged, useless... but oh so rare

Well... I think an ignorant/racist white person might have said the same thing. ;) (not at all calling you ignorant/racist, orlok <3) The whole "you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours" method of predetermined server destributors is wrong. Flat out. It's a new trend and one that limits the longevity of a game. Now if the server config files were sold to customers who could then use their own dedicated server -- that's different. Maintains developer control without restricting the consumer to shoddy server providers. EA <_< Anyway, I know domo, I know his record. He's a bit of a grey hat, white hat and black hat blend to be honest. I still trust in his word that he wont release the files... at least for now... just don't add a cash shop ;) Hell, I would have given him a job, considering he exposed a huge backdoor before the game released. At least mega and him agreed that the dayz source code wasn't dyslexic and autistic garbage like warz one.

Nah, he's the same guy who hacked the War Z source code and never released it even when offered various payments from people. ($100 - $1000 USD) (it was hacked again by novice a-holes later down the road, becuase their security was so shit and released) He contemplated fixing the Warz then releasing it, but Domo said the code was complete garbage and not worth the mass amount of effort to try and fix/update, and that he didn't want people playing the turd of a game. P.S. The whole "Don't break the law" thing ... well... sometimes it's needed. I mean... Rosa Parks anyone? I don't agree with the fact he targeted Dayz over say -- BF4 (and it's rediculously overpriced and underpreforming server rental requirments) but I haveto chalk that up to lack of security... so he did you a favor for the future there.

Really is. Did some digging and Patrick "Kewk" Bowmen (warz nazi-like community manager and Titov's right hand man) is promoting the game heavily and giving out a ton keys. Keys he couldnt possibly pull out of thin air. Now add in the fact the patents were filed by arktos/hammerpoints/opp's lawyer they've used for previous games and the fact Kewk was supposed to have "left" OP productions LLC. BUT: If you go to the warz/iss steam forum, you'll see a lot of posts from "The Doctor Is In" claiming to be a normal player touting the game and why you should buy while stifling the launch facts and claiming it wasn't true, when in fact it's actually Kewks alias/pseudonym. Meaning he's currently involved with both Nether and The Warz/ISS and his and hammerpoints stepping down was just a PR stunt to gain ISS sales VIA tricking people into thinking things changed behind the scenes. (they haven't.. at all... in fact they're now claiming the community manager is zombert... the zendesk support guy who copies and pastes replies.) Basically, they stopped making as much money with the warz and decided to open up another scam venture. $x2 Hence why the game just went from early access to release with out the nessary content... just like the war z/iss So be warned... even at $3 usd, avoid the game with a ten foot fucking pole.

Nah, they're half way decent people with a point. This new model of server hosting/rental (IE: buy server space from our partners or F-off) is counter productive to a games growth and long term survivability. EA is obviously the worse offender here, but the whole practice is ass backwards and limiting. Power to them, even if that's a decenting opinion on here. If Domo said he won't release the code, he won't release the code. Honor among thieves type.

Fixed for you Groover. (p.s. don't smight me) and, if there was one map of the area that would be fine -- but in a survival games backstory, who decided to cut a map in halves and quarters that magically fit together in the same scale? Was there a bunch of people that said "gee, I don't need this whole map of the same scale, that takes up the same amount of space either way" *rip rip rip* "see, it's much better in tiny barely usefull pieces" It's a two way hang-up. The 3rd party map is overly usefull to the point of almost cheating where the ingame sections of maps are just pointless inventory space wasted in the vain hope you stumble accross another section that fits with yours to avoid lost space... which you never do, so you end up with 3-4 map halfs and quarters that don't go together and waste space. If it was like the mod and said maps didn't take up your main inventory space, it'd be totally reasonable. I mean, it's peice of paper that somehow takes up as much space as a full stack of amuntion, food, medical supplies, a knife -- you get where this is going. A peice of paper. Something that could easily be folded and stuck in your boot or down your jimmies, or under your hat -- point being, not taking up nonsensical space.

EDITED - PETITION: Should a sound be made when we log on and off?
Nihilum replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Fact/ You people have obviously never made a 40+ minute trip to an airfield, only to get into the Military Prison/baracks, clear it and have 4-5 people spawn in the cell below you, one after the other. That sound is the only thing that saved me from being REALLY, REALLY pissed. Sound needs to come back, or there needs to be restrictions on where people can log out and back into. If you don't agree you might as well throw up as giant sign that says: " QQ I'm a closet server hopper, fuck you and your anti-hopping logic while I hide behind my invalid argument of 'twasn't in mod hurdur'. Now i'm off to hop servers until I find exactly what I want. QQ " The only thing that the abomination known as 'The War Z/ ISS' ever did right was removing the ability to log into towns/cities (the single respawn point they used per city/town was utterly retarded though... avoid that) -
Cheater / WallHacker caught on tape. Hope this stuff gets ironed out
Nihilum replied to Ponder (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
The question is how did he see said person in the wall when he was upstairs or without getting shot when he came into view himself... Still looks like you got blasted from the end of the hall your friend never checked. -
Because that's what asking for 1:1 input will do on server based game -- instantly stupid looking to everyone else. Massive desyncs will ensue. Just a whole realm of bullshit that shouldnt be opened.

ruined bullets work currently -- the gun was broken. i've had it happen a couple of times after firefights with both the python and the fnx45.
