Anyway to play Singleplayer with cheats?
IkaikaKekai replied to exomonkeyman's topic in General Discussion
The only way to play 'single player' would be to have your own hive password protected and all that. Cheating (even on a single player server) would probably result in a Battleeye ban sooner or later. -
Should be an idea, I do hope things calm down quickly, but they likely won't. It's kinda past the 'disperse and you'll be granted Amnesty' phase when Police/Military APCs are on fire. A little surprised Russian troops haven't been deployed yet, then again the cameras are just now being pointed at Ukraine.

How do you deal with playing lone-wolf?
IkaikaKekai replied to Apocrypha8's topic in General Discussion
Alone? I'm NEVER alone. I have Mr. Compass to talk to, as well as Sir Reginald Fireax and Canny McOpener. I must say while I don't agree with Sgt. Ammobox's views on Abortion, he does make for some lively debates. he..heheh..EHHEHEHAHHEA!- 31 replies

Would ingame currency have a place in DayZ?
IkaikaKekai replied to Jaxis's topic in General Discussion
I'd seriously like to know why that shiny hunk of metal is valuable, can't eat it (well you CAN but the same could be said of rocks), as far as I know pure gold can't really hold an edge as a weapon, too soft for much else. Maybe if you're turning gold into wire for electricity. If there was a SHTF scenario, and someone was trying to buy stuff from me with gold, I'd probably rob them of everything BUT the gold and their life, just to give a painful lesson. EDIT To note, Money (bank notes) will be added in game, more than likely as trash loot or possibly as a minor crafting ingredient. -
That's not a picture...unless...*checks for Wizards*

My Achievement Idea - But will achievements happen?
IkaikaKekai replied to TreadShadow's topic in Suggestions
No. Achievements. Ever. I'd rather see Leaderboards than Acheivements, and I'd rather get shot in the foot in real life than have Leaderboards. -
Other than the leg pouches and the vests (and I think the female hoody) we pretty much have what we need to recreate the 'oldschool' look. Tatical Shirts, Baseball cap, Cargo pants, choice of boots.

Farming/gardening was mentioned by rocket as one possibility. I would like to see it added in if it was at least partly realistic IE no fully grown apple trees in 3 hours from seed. Stuff like tomatoes carrots celery cabbage potatoes would be nice even though in real life most of these would take around 90 days from seed to plate. I think harvesting from existing farms and gardens should be possible (I'm looking at you pumpkins...I don't care if it is the zombie apoc, I'll find a way to make a pie of you yet) on top of whatever farming mechanic they have in mind. Not like minecraft where you take the wheat plant and mill it down to flour (where really you take the SEEDS and mill them into flour). I've mentioned this a couple of times in different threads, but I think growing sprouts should be viable, find a jar or other clear container, find some seeds, pour some water in, put in your pack, wait a day or two and you have sprouts to eat. Also beans for mentioning canning/jarring, which along with salting meat should be a way to preserve food.

Are they going to bring back the any of the Dayz mod stats
IkaikaKekai replied to Max595's topic in General Discussion
Aye, they've gotten rid of the HUD for a reason, they may even get rid of the status indicators on the inventory screen as well as things progress. I think the current indicators are alright (always room for improvement) as they change color depending on how good/bad you're doing. -
To make this a non bitch post I think this should be looked at seriously. Legs should heal over time, I still hate the magical bone regenerating morphine. To be realistic I would have it be something like you have to splint your leg/arm to be able to use it/move (would still be a limp and unable to sprint). Lets say 5 days would be how long it'd take for your leg to heal without any medical intervention, 2 days with a splint, and 1 day to fully recover with splint and regular morphine/painkiller use for the pain.

It will never happen. There won't be any artificial safe zones where guns will magically not work, knives won't cut, bats won't hit, and bullets will just stop at an imaginary line. Even your island. KOS'ers will just wait on the shore with a scoped rifle and pick off people swimming.

How can a "rotten" kiwi be "pristine"?
IkaikaKekai replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in New Player Discussion
I finally figured it out! A pristine Rotten fruit is in otherwise perfect condition, it's just rotten. Worn rotten fruit has some bruising or other minor physical defects on it, damaged have more defects, badly damaged has even more, and ruined is smashed to shit. -
Let me rephrase, Rocket has said Non Zombie or Non Animal AI would NEVER happen in Vanilla Standalone. And since I don't see them giving permission to mod the game files anytime soon, there will be no Enemy AI other than zombies or maybe hostile animals.

IkaikaKekai replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in New Player Discussion
I live in Hawaii...Your argument is invalid. -
NPCs will never happen. 'End Game' PVE stuff will probably focus around things like repairing the power plant or building a base/bunker, and even then it won't be fully PVE.

My friend got hacked, and you can't do anything else?
IkaikaKekai replied to Tonyx97's topic in Troubleshooting
Because we are not the people who banned him. And by we I mean the forum mods, or even the DayZ Devs in this case. I'm just a guy that works at a pizza place in Hawaii. As he was probably told, take it up with battle eye. -

I don't normally shoot on sight...but that would make me unload a clip into your head.

im a noob from the standalone and have a question about copters...
IkaikaKekai replied to shinya aoki's topic in New Player Discussion
You'd be better off actually finding one first Unless you plan on storing the parts in a tent. Last time I checked (which admittedly was a long time ago) the Huey needed like 6 windscreens that all need to be repaired before it could fly. The other thing is unless someone crashes their helicopter and destroyed it you probably won't find a heli at any of the spawn points on DayZDB unless it's an 'abandoned' server. -

IkaikaKekai replied to shinya aoki's topic in New Player Discussion
Depending on the server you play on, IF (and thats a big if) you find a helicopter at it's spawn it will need repairs and gas (some Scrap metal, lots of windscreen glass, engine parts, main rotor assembly). All that is usually found in industrial spawns. You'll also need a lot of gas to fuel it up. A long time ago when I was still learning I found a little bird that was mostly repaired, fixed it, put in two 20L cans worth of fuel and tried to take off...I got MAYBE 3 feet off the ground before I ran out of fuel and landed hard. -
What sort of player are you on DayZ? *QUIZ*
IkaikaKekai replied to Flagella's topic in General Discussion
The one where it was something like '4 guys armed with melee and you have a FNX with two clips' It was either kill them all, kill them all stealthily, or shoot like a spaz, or try and talk to them before shooting them all. -
I've got it. The reason bandits wear military gear!
IkaikaKekai replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
And the reason why they kept screaming "YEAH BITCH! OWNED YOU! I FUCKED YOUR MOM!" and dragged their balls over my unconscious face? -

IkaikaKekai replied to Flagella's topic in General Discussion
Survivor 87% Hero 49% Bandit 29% Kos'er 0%, not quite sure how I got that 29%, one of thous questions was loaded and didn't give me a choice to run away/hide. -
Not quite entirely sure how the layering works right now, because I found a puffer jacket that said it couldn't be used with a vest, I could wear it over a Tshirt I found but not over my hoodie. If we could wear a Shirt/Tshirt under all it would be nice, if anything just as an extra source of rags/warmth, not to mention the two slots from the shirt. I think when weather becomes an issue to players and not just ambiance (as in you'll have to put on a raincoat or something to not get a cold while running around in the rain) IE wearing a tshirt, hoodie, puffer jacket, motobike helmet, hiking boots, and cargo pants on a hot day may lead to heatstroke or quicker dehydration from sweating.

You know, I thought I saw footprints on certain terrain (like roads), not 100% sure though. Kind of a neat thing I've noticed is that if you crawl in grass it gets pushed down and it would form a trail you wouldn't really notice unless you were looking for it. One of my biggest fears in the mod when I was still stealthing around was that someone would find my grass tracks and kill me because I was wearing a ghillie.
