Your eyes need to adjust to the low light conditions. Give it time.

Not currently.

If a zombie kills you, you should become a zombie, with all your gear.
IkaikaKekai replied to Cydone's topic in General Discussion
Players are Immune to the zombie virus. Also this isn't the normal 'dead people' zombies, these are 28 days later zombies that are alive, just rabid. Dead is dead, which is why two shots to the chest will kill a zombie same as it will with a player. Dean has said several times there will be no player zombies, not even players coming back as NPC zombies. -
Ha...Ha...HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAAA...HA...hah..cant breath. Okay, let me put it this way, unless they get a crew working on DayZ:PS right NOW it won't be out at the 'same time' as full release. There was reasons Rocket gave for not going to XBL, one of them was that they would have to pay for updates to the game. Yes the increased sales may have accelerated a few timelines, but I don't see console development as one of them.

They actually sell 'modern' black powder rifles, here in Hawaii you can buy them without a gun license. I'm all for more (civilian) guns. I can see a few non pvpers like myself using the 'low end' guns and black powder rifles simply because the rarer military weapons will be more sought after. I mean hell if I can make my own ammo out of junk all the better.
-
Don't think we should 'limit' the range of weapons other than whats realistic, bullet drop wise anyway. If you can see your target and make the proper adjustments to hit your target, you should be able to (and I do mean if it's able to, IE a .22 LR won't be a kill shot at a mile away) That in mind, I think a lot of the long range anti mat guns should be kept out or severely limited in number.

I'd say a bug more than likely, though it's possible they're solar powered with a battery backup or something.

Make food death rates resumble real life of something close
IkaikaKekai replied to brinton1's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
It's the rule of threes for survival, 3 minuets without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks/months without food. It would be nice for that to happen but considering the average lifespan is something like 3 hours... -
Cellphone networks are local, meaning there's a transmission tower somewhere that has to be powered. So even if you had an alternate means of charging your phone battery it would be no network. Most land based phone companies are required to transmit power through their phone lines to power phones. Even if power and phone lines were untouched post Z Day there'd still be no power to power the phones in any capacity.

Not quite sure what Key Branding is, but from recent readings this is similar to what rocket wants aside from the underground building he wants to eventually do. IE we board up windows and doors and claim a building as ours. If a building is 'claimed' it won't spawn in any loot or zombies until it's 'lost' (barricades destroyed), and the storage items inside become usable and some can be crafted (shelf, wardrobes, ect). I think that if we're able to do that we shouldn't be able to 'claim' certain buildings (IE no claiming of hospitals or barracks/military spawns).

No electricity, no phone network (land line or cell phone). I don't really see a point to this anyway. I mean you could maybe do a couple 'fun' things with it (Find a cellphone, find the number to a payphone, set up on a hill with a rifle and call the number every time someone passes by and snipe them when they answer) but it'd be a bit of work for minimum reward. Think the radios as they want them to be would be the better thing to work on.

Define 'black'? is it nighttime on your server?

Double Barrel Shotgun in DayZ?
IkaikaKekai replied to Lupatchi's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Rocket mentioned them briefly in one of his Twitch streams, just that they weren't working right (think he said either the range or the spread). -
Terminate Protocol 5... In all seriousness it's something like the Nazca lines (someone found the exact thing it duplicates but I forget the name) It's basically a line in the ground made by who knows of a man with a club and a penis.
-
If you combine the pieces (N and S, (SE + SW) + (NE + NW) you'll get a whole map. And I think you mean country not continent, Cheanraus isn't GTA where it's its own little island. EDIT It would be nice if there were 'overlays' that you could combine with the maps (as others are saying, you find a military map, census maps, mineral rights map, a tourist map with landmarks and businesses (restruants, stores, hotels, ect), a bus route map, uncle sergei's handdrawn map to his best deer hunting spots, ect) that reveal more information

Double Barrel Shotgun in DayZ?
IkaikaKekai replied to Lupatchi's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The shotgun(s) (normal and sawed off) were suppose to be in alpha, but there was something wrong with them for the release build so they took them out, think they just forgot to take out the shells too. -
Steam "Unable to locate a running instance of Steam"
IkaikaKekai replied to CoalMan117's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Sounds like a Steam Problem, maybe you should check the Steam Forums. -
It'll happen in time, just be patient.

Since everyone wants to add random stuff to the game....
IkaikaKekai replied to deepseamk21's topic in General Discussion
a Bardiche would work too given the setting, or even improvised weapons (broomstick + kitchen knife + ducktape = spear) -
Since everyone wants to add random stuff to the game....
IkaikaKekai replied to deepseamk21's topic in General Discussion
Katanas don't really make sense for the setting other than as a collector's item. And to quote Max Brooks 'You really need to be a Samurai to use a Samurai sword effectively.' Most midevil swords would be the same, collectors items or replicas, not the real deal, and the real deal would probably be rusted to shit. I'd rather see a military Dress Saber/Sword, while mostly ceremonial it still functions. I could go on and on but that $40 Katana you got at the swapmeet isn't going to be made by Hitori Hanzo from Damascus steel. -
Should we kill him before he turns?
IkaikaKekai replied to Slim Skizzzle's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
You do know that he's not infected with the zombie virus right? Bed rest and OJ should help. -

IkaikaKekai replied to deepseamk21's topic in General Discussion
Just give me a boar spear/sword and I'll be happy. Point pointy end at Zombie, wait for zombie to charge, dislodge zombie after dead. -
What random events would you like to see?
IkaikaKekai replied to Roshi (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Seeing a lot of the same thing that's been confirmed as a no for standalone. Dynamic Crashes (Heli, car, plane). Sad to say any crashes will have to be like in the mod, server restarts and they're just in random locations. (NonZombie) NPCs will also be something that won't be in. -
The best idea against server hopping
IkaikaKekai replied to thomas28's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I still think the 30 second delay for your character to be removed from the server is the best option, but think they should have it so that if you go LD/AltF4 you stop in position. Gives time for combat loggers to be killed, hopefully give enough time for whoever's your copilot to take control of the heli before just crashing. 'Quick' Logouts should be from camps/safe spots (player built) only. -
What random events would you like to see?
IkaikaKekai replied to Roshi (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Heli Crashes (Military-Guns and equipment, Civilian/Police/Coastguard-Lower teir guns and equipment) Car Crashes (random spots along the road Military (consisting of trucks or urals carrying supplies/weapons) Civilian ( (someone mentioned tankers with fuel) delivery trucks with large amounts of food ((too much for one survivor to carry)) Ambulances with medical gear inside, 'survivor' cars filled with random supplies (non immune survivors that tried to escape, guns, food, clothes) ) Plane Crashes (Military, Civilian (clothing only)) Survivor camps (just like the mod, non immune survivors that managed to get away before turning, random assortment of supplies, rare chance for low end military weapons, higher chance for civilian weapons and gear) Fires (maybe not entirely random, possible to be player initiated but still have some random occurrences (lighting strike in the forest, fuel tank explodes in a city, ect) Wild fire would take place in the forest, cause animals to run away, destroy/damage any camps/tents set up. House/building fires would damage/destroy loot in affected buildings, possibly spread to nearby buildings, destroy wooden buildings, gut stone/concrete buildings.
