Anyone interested in making a new DayZ map?
Cap'n (DayZ) replied to Cap'n (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well, I just suggested these three because they're all very unique, even though some of them are unfinished. Moschyni is the best done of them all, and it looks very nice from the ground. It's about 9km long but only 1-2km wide at most, so it's an interesting map. It's got plenty of farms, a load of industrial buildings on the Western side, and a small airstrip and some barracks. Military loot is pretty limited, with only the two barracks and a single firestation. No deerstands or hangars, so most people would be running around farm weapons(Enfields, CZ's, Winchester's). Backpacks would be hard to find, because there are no supermarkets. Just a school in the largest town. You can't put more than 4-5 vehicles on the map because it's so too small to have the same as chernarus. It should also only fit 20-30 players, while anything above 20 still wouldn't be too comfortable. -
Getting stuck in debug, corrupt files, black screen on loading, and a host of other shit
Cap'n (DayZ) posted a topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Well, recently I could not get on a server without it stopping at character customization and going to a black screen, and I'd press escape and it'd take me to debug where I had no gear and could not move. Someone told me to verify my files and it wouldn't work in Steam and it'd just stop and load up ArmA 2 OA. I load up through Commander and it sits at a black screen, I try again and I get on only for it to get stuck loading. it goes to black screen the next time. Listen, I'm royally pissed and I would fucking love some help because no one wants to help me. Go into detail, because I'm tempted to reinstall ArmA 2 OA and I'm curious if there is an easier fix or if the problem is worse than that. But for the love of god, please help me. -
Pretty Much Ignoring Stand-Alone - Anybody Else?
Cap'n (DayZ) replied to Vicco's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Eh, I'm hyped that it's coming out. Drag me to the fields and burn me in the name of heresy. -
ArmA 3 is a niche game in a very niche community. The good thing is, the noobs, dumbasses, and DayZ trolls(not saying all DayZ players are bad), will leave for Standalone. Downside, is I'll have to play with them when I fancy some DayZ...

I want to play against people, not AI. Nothing is quite as fun as a hundred person ACE server on veteran difficulty with people who don't goof off but still have fun.

Good to see someone actually take a break from the mod and play the game they bought for it :) It's much like getting half Life 2 for Garry's Mod and never playing Half Life 2, you're ignoring a very good game(depends on what you like).

DayZ FPS rate and minimum specifications anytime soon?
Cap'n (DayZ) replied to kevsta545's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I hope they use the lighting and physics of A3 and all the other lovely little bits go to TOH. -

Pretty much exactly what I want. Enjoy these beans. -

Cap'n (DayZ) replied to Cap'n (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
I try running vanilla ArmA 2 and it simply won't join any games, but I can join multiplayer games off of ArmA 2 OA. I'm trying to run the vanilla version of dayZ on a public hive server. -
Dean Hall @ Pax Prime

Ask him if there are new towns or just old areas improved. -

Cap'n (DayZ) replied to kevsta545's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Dean records and plays off of a 2009-2010 Alienware M17. With a pretty mediocre processor and GPU by todays standard(5870m and i7 920), he seems to be getting decent FPS. he mentioned in one of the earlier devblogs that he records primarily on Normal settings, and he's getting 40 fps minimum even in Vybor on a pretty mediocre rig. So, I can base off that the Standalone is going to run MUCH better than ArmA 2, and the minimum requirements should be a Radeon HD 6670(for like, low settings @ 60fps), or a 7750(for 60 fps on normal settings). By my standards, if you spent more than $550 on a rig you SHOULD be able to accomplish medium settings ATM on ArmA 2. It will probably run similar, if not better than A3 so let's all be optomisitc. Oh, and everyone who disables grass and shadows for an advantage, fuck you. -
My Faith In Humanity Is Restored :D (or more faith in video games)

Preaching the message of the almighty Road Flare can bring peace and happiness to even the lowest of bandits. -
I came up with an idea for the study body system.
Cap'n (DayZ) replied to BioHazard050's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
If it's going to be Chernarussian, you're going to have to write it in Czech. Also, props for recognizing that we're in a province, and not the full country. The ignorant ones usually leave that out. -
If you could have one custom clothing item in Standalone, what would it be?
Cap'n (DayZ) posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Title explains it all. Wouldn't you all love to see me in a G-string? I could dance for those Orlok fruits. Mmmmm, delicious moderator. -
50-60 on high in woods/small towns.

Why would you dress like Hans Lansa? -
I'd recommend a better motherboard, and a Radeon HD 7850 over the 650 ti. It's just weak compared to 7850, and it's about the same price right now.

Responsibility and shame: A intellectual observation of the hill camper
Cap'n (DayZ) replied to Cap'n (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Do be honest, I just want some kind of mechanic to make sniping more difficult. Yes, it is not against the rules to snipe people, wherever they may be. The problem is that it's too easy, and that is unusual for a game like ArmA. Yes, there is bullet drop. Most of the sniping points along the coast don't even need the use of bullet drop. Why not add wind so there is an actual use for the mildots for wind correction? Make sway harsher for the sniper rifles? The problem is, we can't give one playstyle a drawback. They all need to have their positives and negatives. But it's not realistic! Sniping is too damn easy, too easy. Anyone can snipe, especially me. I usually avoid snipers. But it's a complete pain in the ass for me to hit someone with a CCO when they're 300-400 meters away. But they deserve that advantage, because you engage targets at a longer range. Snipers are commonly used in warfare as a form of suppression. Me and my group were held down for several minutes by a single guy with a DMR. We shot the wrong guy, but we stayed in those pine trees for 20-30 minutes. We ran like pussies, but he was 600-700 meters away and only one of us had a sniper. See? Now, I'm not sure if he was sniping the airfield or looting it, but he put up a damn good challenge. We we're armed, and actually stood a chance against him. But a newspawn...why would you suppress a newspawn? Even if they had a Winchester or a Lee, I doubt they'd simply spot you prone, in a ghille hiding under a pine tree from 400 meters away. They must have some damn good eyesight if they do. Is this a rant? You're damn right it is but this is honestly how I feel, and a lot of people within the community share this opinion. You can't come out and say "hur dur you're wrong gg", because it's an opinion, how you feel. I'm just sharing my opinion and maybe someone on the dev team might do something about it, because regardless of what some might say, it is a problem. -

Complaining can be fun. I just made an entire thread about it, and actually enjoyed writing it. I love feedback, give more please. -

Judging from your previous posts, I assume you are either sarcastic or have a very skewed view of things. -

Yeah, it's not intellectual at all. I just put that there to sound nice. -

There are still decent people out there, quite a few on my server actually. -
Why does everyone complain about night time?
Cap'n (DayZ) replied to MasterShak3's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I turn up my gamma and see no noticeable drop in awareness. People are just cowardly. Great time to loot high value shit though. -
I find plenty of both friendly survivors and bandits. On my server, there are a good deal of people who are willing to help out. Just the other day, a hero clan rode me around in a chopper and helped me repair a car. I helped some newspawns get up North(which ended in my unfortunate death, and the lose of my uber gear), and they were generally decent people. But there are also bandits there too, including one of which is my friend. It makes it pretty complicated when I want to help someone and he want's their stuff. And we get the occasional server hopping hill snipers. They are not bandits, they are cowards. They kill newspawns and don't even loot them. Hardly criteria for much of anything but a douche. But the moral is, play the game how you wish to play it. Some may not agree with, others may hunt you down because of it. But that makes it even more fun.
