Was no one at PAX who saw the new build?
IkaikaKekai replied to cartire's topic in General Discussion
Well I think one of the most recently released static vehicle wrecks was a VS3 and the hood itself could lift up along with all the doors. Bikes will be the first vehicle they'll come out with but that doesn't' mean they don't have the models/art done. It's easy to make a model (weapon, vehicle, building, clothing) getting it to work is the hard part. How many weapons/items haven't been released because they don't have animations/sounds or the intended effects? Certain items were released before they had a use (pliers, rope, wrench) but that was mostly so every building wouldn't be overloaded with food and weapons. -
You assume they'ed check if they did add different textures. "OMFG GUN WONT WORK DIS GAME SUCKS WANT REFUND ON GAME AND UNGLOBAL BAN BECAUSE HACKS DIDNT WORK I MEAN I MY BROTHER DOWNLOADED SOMETHING ON ITUNES AND GOT BANNED!"
-
It's a hack, very well known at this point. Glad to hear you got your gear back however.

It's been confirmed, they are living infected. People often seam to forget this and that Zombie is an umbrella term. From a psychological view it's easier to see them as the undead. They're a danger to your survival, not someone's son or daughter or a mother or father. Just simple husks that are out to get you. Infected implies a cure, or at the very least a treatment. 'What happens if I kill this person and they make a cure?' Granted we're too far past that point and the only 'cure' is death. While you could even strangle an infected to death as opposed to an undead, this leads to dangerous thinking. 'Headshots only' hopefully leads to trigger discipline even if only in your own mind. Even in traditional zombie movies/shows/games there's this fallacy, 'maybe we can cure them?'. How do you cure someone who's missing half their face, 3/4ths of their small intestines and all of their large intestines?

They'll probably post it themselves pretty soon. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/209732-twitter-hicks-on-twitter-just-spoke-to-the-pax-theater-staff-not-streamed-we-are-however-recording-ourselves/ Why record it if you're not gonna release it? -
I thought you could right click on either one to change it into the other?
-
The fact that it's pretty much surrounded by military spawns and by the time I would get to it I'd be pretty good on gear and food anyway. I just miss spawning there from the mod because people would pass it over thinking it was a shit spawn and would usually jump off the railroad bridge/lighthouse.
-
So I take it this means NEAF is gonna be the new civil airfield. Would have preferred Balota being the civil airport and getting the old coast spawns back...I miss Kamenka...
-
Eventually they'll have a use, but right now like silencers, they're just in the game. This would most likely be a way to protect yourself against infectious diseases in certain areas when they are added. IE clomping around a mass grave or near bodies.
-
Usually the first thing you should do when you have issues with a steam game. can save ya a reinstall and other bullshit. Next would be 'have you turned it on and off?'
-
Did you Verify the Cache?
-
Floor Glitch. Well known by most. The server suddenly thought you didn't have a floor under you and you took fall damage.

Will 0.49 stable bring persistence to everyone
IkaikaKekai replied to theirongiant's topic in General Discussion
More lazyness than anything else. I usually play as a scavenger and wanted to set up a tent somewhere and gear it out (Tools, food, supplies). If I play I'm going to want to do that and will get discouraged knowning it's just gonna get wiped in less than a week. As I said I might try my hand at PVP. More than likely that. -

IkaikaKekai replied to theirongiant's topic in General Discussion
Been avoiding playing because of the wipe, since I only play stable. Somewhat tempted to try my hand at PVP before that though just to get it out of my system. -
Once DayZ is complete; Will it require studying?
IkaikaKekai replied to Act III's topic in General Discussion
Probably, things will be updated as things go along, I still barely know how to throw items and that was a couple patches ago. -

Only if they're as cool as this dog.
-
I'm pretty sure. See above...or rather bellow. There's probably at least one guide on how to do this floating around the internet.

Another weird thing happened while spawning in...
IkaikaKekai replied to s1rGr1nG0's topic in General Discussion
Well it's more or less the same but it's where your client is faster than the server. The game thinks you're on the ground and you catch up before the building registers/loads, so you wind up stuck when the building loads in. What happened to him was the building loaded in time so he was in rather than under, but for one reason or another the building suddenly 'disappeared' and he was still two stories up in the air so the game treated it as if he jumped off a ledge and thus fall damage/broken leg. -
Think that's the longest you can go without a restart right now, and if it's not required it's recommended as going longer than 4 hours can result in more bugs/desync and other problems.
-

IkaikaKekai replied to s1rGr1nG0's topic in General Discussion
It's still a desync bug. The game THINKS you fell through the floor so it applies the damage. I've had it happen to me once. -
I've seen different servers with restarts as frequent as every hour, and back when there are loot farm servers that have it something like every 30mins or even less. For now I think you're required to have restarts at least every 4 hours by game rules.
-
More than likely. For now there'd probably be a generic 'You have been kicked: Not Whitelisted." message.
-
I would like to see it as well, if as a simple mechanic. IE if zombie not 'agroed' and there's a freshly dead body within its FOV or range of smell it'll head to it slowly and start to chow down, distracting for a bit. I mean it wouldn't make sense unless the zombies were working on pure rage. I mean to kill something for absolutely no reason other than it's there, thats just kinda psycoti...Oh my god...WE ARE THE INFECTED!!!
-
There was talk early on about having to disinfect some items, I would think 'zombie loot' would be in that disinfect category. As for removing clothing from zombies, don't think that's gonna fly unless it's clothing that just happens to be on the zombie. IE you randomly get a chance of looting a CDF beret of a CDF zombie wearing a helmet. Right now zombies are very simple layer wise, at most I think they have two layers (head and clothing) to save on resources. IE you're not gonna loot the boots and shirt off of a zombie and then the boots and shirt will be gone from the corpse. More than likely zombie loot will be other items rather than clothing. IE a pair of handcuffs off of a police zombie, some bandages off a paramedic/doctor, ammo or a magazine off of a solider, like how it was in the mod.
