What vehicles would you like to see in DayZ?
fitzee replied to over9000nukez's topic in General Discussion
Hi. While I would love to see the cuda in my garage, I would hate to see it in Chernarus. Regards. -
Should the dot crosshair be removed from hardcore servers?
fitzee replied to ztranger's topic in General Discussion
Hi. I'm not sure why people feel they need the dot to tell what direction they are facing? Seems strange, to say the least. I used the crosshairs for awhile in OpF, but one of the first things I always did with ArmA 1,2, and 3 was turn the reticules and 3PP off. Can't say it has ever caused any problems in regards to what direction I was going lol. Sounds like a poor excuse to keep arma rookie mode settings in game. While I do agree aiming melee attacks could pose a problem, you can still 'fire from the hip' with deadly accuracy(within realistic ranges) without the reticule. I'm all for removing it from hardcore. Not so much for realism, but more for personal taste, I'm so used to playing without it that, I find the silly dot distracting at times, especially at night. Regards. -
Why putting heart attacks in game makes no sense
fitzee replied to Rick1633's topic in General Discussion
Heh. Scurvy, funny but I wouldn't complain about that one, I eat every fresh orange I find lol. I don't mind the heart attacks, as long as they are done well, the more difficult they make the game the better. You think heart attacks are bad, wait until you see the bitching in the forum if they make the zeds dangerous. The forum will drown in tears. Regards. -
Hi. I haven't played on experimental for a couple builds. I would like to, but my experience then, was that you spend more time refreshing the servers trying to get a open slot than you actually spend testing. Regards.

Just died of heart attack, incredibly stupid
fitzee replied to schofie1d's topic in General Discussion
I tried asking early in your thread about your gear and if you were running a lot, as I would truly like to know what causes the heart attacks. You chose to ignore my questions, so I was just saying how I hope it will work, not passively attacking you. At least you didn't call me a retard lol. Regards. -

fitzee replied to schofie1d's topic in General Discussion
Heh I seriously doubt it's going to be a "PURELY RANDOM EVENT". I hope all the guys carrying 800 rounds of ammo, 3 guns, and an axe, whilst constantly sprinting get heart attacks. Will be amusing. Regards. -

fitzee replied to schofie1d's topic in General Discussion
Hi. I wish I could have watched :D joking. Seriously tho, maybe it isn't as random as you think. Were you carrying a shitload of weight? Constantly running? I would really like to find out what causes this before it goes live on stable. Regards. -
An interesting discussion based on this speech
fitzee replied to helcol's topic in General Discussion
Hi. Sure lots of people will come together in aid after disaster strikes, but often at ground zero the criminal element takes over during the early stages. Of course this will vary depending on location. Regards. -
Hi. Well while I don't really care if you believe me or not, I was talking about NWAF not the small military camp you mentioned. But yea, the NWAF has 2 bunkbed buildings, 3 jail cell bunkbed buildings, 1 fire station, 1 ATC, something like 8 military hangers, and a pub. That makes for a shitload of possible weapon locations. All of those buildings(except maybe the pub) can spawn multiple weapons. O yea, I almost forgot the 2 bunkers in tent city that still spawn mil-gear. Those orange buildings you talk about in vybor, spawn rifles on the ground level as well as the top of staircase, and yes I've found 2 in them plenty of times. I've also found 2 guns in the post office weapon room as well, and don't forget weapons also spawn on the roof of that building. Rifles sometimes spawn in the second floor room of the big gray shed by the piano house on the south end.The most rifles I've found in Vybor at one time was 10. Vybor is my home, I loot it all the time, occasionally I will only see 3 guns like you said, but usually I find a minimum of 5 or 6. Meh, dunno why I'm wasting my time with a guy who calls bullshit lol. Regards.

Hi. From what I've seen in videos posted on this forum, you should be able to glitch back out by running at the wall and pressing 'V'. You might want to make sure your glitching into a room and not the outside though :D Regards.
-
Hi. This morning I did a run thru of Vybor, found 2 or 3 SKS's, a Mosin, 1 of those double barrled rifles and an M4. After that I went thru the NWAF which had been looted(all doors were open) and found 2 more SKS's, 2 magnums, and 4 or 5 M4's lol. There's plenty of weapons, when you get away from noob central(big cities and the coast). Regards.

[Help me, wise gamers] Long distance Flickering on a "gaming" rig !
fitzee replied to paradogz's topic in Troubleshooting
Hi. Kind of looks like flickering shadows. What setting do you use? Regards. -
Hi. Great idea, either type of football or hockey, as they should make for good target practice. Regards.

Hi OP. I'm not particularly familiar with American PC pricing, but with a budget of $400, I would suggest looking for a used system. Lots of power-users tend to completely replace their systems one or more times per year, and sell their year-old system at bargain prices. Year-old systems that have nothing wrong, except the cpu, chipset and peripherals aren't the newest shiny thing on the market. Won't hurt to take a look, you just might be surprised at what you can find. Regards.
-
Hi. Yes, the problem gets further compounded when you add in that the devs allow servers on the public hive to run 24/7 daylight. The community gets so divided, It can be next to impossible to play the game with full features. Well without forking out the $$ for your own server. Regards.
-
LoL. Nobody is dense, everyone understands your point. However like someone already pointed out, since 3PP makes the game so much easier for those 3 campers vs being harder for the 1 guy walking into the skill-less, tactic-less ambush, then overall it is easier. I do agree however, that 1PP servers shouldn't be called hardcore. They should be called regular, while 3PP servers should be called rookie. Would make sense seeing that the game the RV engine was made for automatically turns 3PP off when you turn the difficulty settings up. Regards.
-
Hi. I have a hundred and fifty-something hours played and always use stairs, but have never fallen thru or glitched through a wall, so yea, I would agree they need to leave this stuff in the game or they probably never will find the bugs. It truly sucks if it happens to you, but I think it's a necessary evil. Maybe try staying in walking mode when using stairs or not on ground level. If nothing else keep some morphine in your pack, I carry 3 with me just in case. Regards.
-
Hi. I'd suggest leaving the coast before trying to decide what is rare or not. In a single trip thru Vybor I found at least one of each of those rifles, totaling something like 8 or 10. That was just going in the high% buildings of one town. Regards.

Incorrect reticle positioning is seriously confusing me
fitzee replied to Estyles's topic in General Discussion
Hi. I'm sure I will get crapped on by the UT brigade for this but whatever... Use your iron sights/scope for aiming. The lame reticule shouldn't even be in the game. If anything it simulates firing from the hip and shouldn't really be accurate anyway. It's much more accurate in 1PP than 3PP, but still, nothing is better than the actual sights. Regards. -
Which is exactly why 1PP is the harder option. I get what your saying, 3PP is harder when your the target, because your essentially playing against a bunch of people with wall hacks. But still, your logic is flawed, 1PP is the mode that actually requires some skill and tactical awareness. Please just stop with this useless trolling. Regards.
-
Hi. I'm not trying to be the instigator or anything, but I'm not sure how anything you just said about seeing people in cover on 1PP changes on a 3PP server. Only difference is people behind hard cover can't see over/around it in 1PP like the 3PP exploit. Regards.

Persistent storage containers; do you like the idea or not?
fitzee replied to -MadTommy's topic in General Discussion
Hi. I disagree about lockable storage, even with cheatards, any form of player base/storage should to be lootable and destructible. I spent a lot of time hunting tents, vehicles and helos in the mod. It's a valid playstyle when, like me, you get bored of deathmatches. Regards. -
Persistent storage containers; do you like the idea or not?
fitzee replied to -MadTommy's topic in General Discussion
Hi. I like gathering crap, and would like a container big enough to hold 2 or 3 primarys(so I can switch weapons depending on mood or whatever), ammo for each, and outfits. But like some others I think on death these supplies shouldn't be available to the owner. Either have it deleted or moved like SoulFirez idea. In the mod I kept 2 tents on the servers I played, one NW of NWAF, and one N of the NEAF, and when/if I died it was always less than 30 minutes(usually 15) to get to a tent and be fully equipped, wearing a ghille/camo suit. That's not perma-death. Regards. -
^This. Sure you can force feed more in there, but just like trying to hold oversized stacks in your normal inventory, you will lose them sooner or later. I've had stacks of 40 disappear in front of my eyes lol. Regards.
-
Hi. Although I understand that you didn't want to attract attention, you should have shot them. I don't even carry an axe. Regards.
