Rivers, Canals, Bridges: Survival Resource, Transport Medium, Natural Chokepoints
Daemonkid replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in Suggestions
Game can't support water above sea level. That's why we see what seems to be water "objects". And I would be content if they just cut into the Chernarus earth real deep, and added a water object. But the problem with that would be varying levels of the terrain making the river look odd and uneven. You wouldn't really be able to make a bend. Come one DayZ team! We want rivers! NAIO! Or, at least sometime in the future. :D -
I actually would like a hybrid system like this. Desks and such should be search able. But make it so each desk, like a container has hide and unhide + and - marker. So you need to manually click the button, and the drawer is "open" showing the available loot. I like the system in place currently, but sometimes you get random items that seem really out of place. That, and being able to "search" things adds a bit to the authentic feel of the game, and makes looting a bit more of a dangerous proposition.

When playing hero and you have to get close to someone, and don't want to run the risk of being Mike Tyson'd. I recommend keeping a Motorcycle helmet on you at all times. Break it out when you have to get close, or just wear one all the time. Won't save you from any form of real melee weapon though. But we all know not to let anyone with a weapon close, haha.

I didn't bother testing the axe, because I knew it would end up with me dead.(The wrench knocked me out 1 hit, from pristine to ruined. We were testing mainly blunt force) Nor did we try fire arms on the motor. But, we did test the combat helms ability prior with .45, and .357. At about 15-20 meters the with the combat helmet, a .45 knocked me out, and ruined the helmet and caused bleeding, but not death. The .357 from the same range was an instant execution.

Considering my buddy punched me for 3 continuous mins with no bleeding or damage to myself. Then we broke out the Combat Helm, and fell unconscious after 4-5 direct hits to the face from the punches. We then tested the Moto helm with other melee weapons. The wrench knocked me out 1 hit, and ruined the helm. We tried the bat, and that took 2 strikes to knock me out, and ruin the helmet. We did the same for the Combat helm. Punches to the back and side did nothing, but punches straight to the exposed face (Even with a gasmask) will bring you down. While the helm to the side took 2 wrench hits before being ruined, and 4 good swings of the bat (Since that bat fking sucks) to knock me out.

Weird Mouse movement DayZ standalone.
Daemonkid replied to Nibiru (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Turn off mouse acceleration from the cfg file I believe. -
Ballistic helmet does not provide the same protection as the Moto helm from punches. Your face is uncovered, and a few well placed punches will bring you down. Tested it extensively. Punches exclusively. Was doing a bunch of tests with the both of them, and I personally feel the moto helm is the best thing to have if you have to get close, and don't want to run the risk of being punched at all.

Port Forwarding in DAYZ as a player will improve desync ?
Daemonkid replied to paradogz's topic in General Discussion
I would like if they fixed the desync issue already. I know it's not just me. But, I died randomly today, no gunshot sounds, no bleeding, nothing. Just, died. At first I cried out hacker in anger, but I collected my thoughts and realized it could've been a desync issue, they saw me, but I did not see them. So, they promptly just shot me, with me having no way to even know what the hell happened other than you know, being dead. Just sucks, because I guess I was still in the same spot to them, but in actuality, I was moving away from where these hostiles were. -

Seems To Be Tons of Friendlies On Low pop Servers
Daemonkid replied to King of kong's topic in General Discussion
I have a feather down jacket. I am offering great trade opportunity. It's red. Kind of brownish actually. Only 3 slots, but atleast you'll look unique. -
I just want them to fix how they render buildings. I shouldn't be rendering a building I can't even see yet. :|

Everyone chatting about getting 1 hit KO'D. It happened to me to day when I was trying to help someone. I learned my lesson. Bring a bike helmet anytime I go out to help people. Won't save you from a smack of a wrench(Tested it today, 1 hit knockout, haha)or anything else really, but the helmet will save your ass from any Mike Tyson wannabe. School of hard knocks.

Let me able to pin papers to road signs. That way I can write the names of towns I come across in English.

Currently there is no way to break out long animations easy. Tried to be friendly and tranfuse a dude who said he got shot. I took all the precautions, and went to transfuse him. The second I go into the animation, he punches me. I tried to jog/sprint out of the animation but yet nothing, and by the 4th punch and me sliding like 5 feet. I fall unconscious. Hell, if I could've sprinted out of the animation that would've been nice. But no, I get to slide 5 feet and continue to try to complete the animation.
-
Just depressing actually trying to help some one. Then being taken advantage of by game mechanics(AND an asshole). Since I was locked in the animation, with no way to un-fuck myself. :(

Your current loadout? (Share/Discussion)
Daemonkid replied to knyghtfalcon's topic in General Discussion
Preaching the lords good word to those who wash up upon the coast. Red Checked shirt and spring hunter pants, UK assault vest olive, green bandanna, hiking shoes, hunting pack. Usually run with a mosin but switched it up today with an M4, MP attachments, combat sight, bipod. 2 Coupled mags, and 1 40. FNX with red dot. Wood Axe. Basically food in the pack and my holy bibles. Standard survival equipment, can opener, canteens. The food is for those who sit through my sermons. Just 5 minutes of your time, good sirs! -
Character got wiped when server restarted
Daemonkid replied to Profound (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Happens quite a bit. Today the game was kind of enough to spawn me back in with just my fire axe, M4, red checked shirt and no pants. Lost my pants backpack, shoes, vest. -
How many zombies have you killed with your fists?
Daemonkid replied to hookhead's topic in General Discussion
Me and my trusty wrench today killed about 9 zombies in Berez today. If I hadn't gotten reset would never have happened. But, it was a good fight zombies you tried your hardest, but your shitty AI allowed me the time to actually hit you in the face with Mr.Wrenchy. It was a good day. -
Why are freshspawns now referred to as "bambis"?
Daemonkid replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I call em' fresh spawns. Because that's what they are. -
We all know how easy it is to find food. So I am proposing this. Cans of food should almost always spawn open, half eaten or empty. This way, you have to make the choice: do I eat this? Or do I keep searching for those elusive sealed containers.
-
Really man? That's so low. Where is your sense of adventure? I got robbed, then punched and beaten by a group of 5 bandits, they didn't want to kill me, but they wanted to leave me for dead. After they leave me, i'm hurt badly and naked in the middle of nowhere. I know where the nearest town is, I know where several were actually. But I decided to go to the town I thought would be quiet. So, between random fainting spells. (I was reaaaaaaaally close to dying) I make it to town. I scout it from the tree line, it's quiet. I think to myself good, it's safe I can get some food, water and clothing. Going into town, I hit a small house, and just my luck, I find a revolver! And a pair of badly damaged pants. I tuck the revolver into my pocket and go about looking for food,maybe find an elusive Saline IV, or at least the components. I go through a few more house, careful not to alert the few zombies that are in town, that would surely be a death sentence. I find a nice green raincoat, food to sustain myself, which I mostly ate on the spot. The town was generous in supplies, and I wasn't the only one who was there any more. I had spotted him from inside a 2 story house, watching him dart from building to building, leaving the doors wide open, and probably wondering why the houses were empty. He was descending upon my position, and I called out to him. "Hey man, I got my gun trained on you, I don't want to shoot, but I don't know what your intentions are." I knew this could've gone either way, but he didn't know my location yet. He talks down the mic "I'm friendly man, don't shoot." While running to hide behind some cover that he thought would protect him. I call out again "Just drop the gun man, I can still see you. I would've killed you by now if I was going to kill you". He retorts "I just bet you don't have any ammo." He was calling my bluff. I quickly shoot back "Well,considering we are this far north, I obviously have ammo. Come on, drop the weapon, and I'll come out unarmed." He actually agrees. I come out, I tell him to leave his weapon on the ground for now, and we talk. We discuss a few things, I ask if he had a Saline IV, turns out he does and he's got a few extra so he doesn't mind sparing. He gives me the IV, and we talk, exchange some revolver ammo for a 5.56 box I had found. We part ways not long after on good terms. This would've never happened if I had combat logged like you did.

Lopatino!

So, I MIGHT have combat logged....and something very confusing...
Daemonkid replied to crazykage's topic in General Discussion
Kind of over the top there Delta. It wasn't a combat log. And Gews correctly summarized the situation that he went into his configure screen, and what he heard was the sound slider. Way to jump the gun there buddy. Edit- Your response as a mod actually kind of made me rage. -
3 of us died from a hacker last night
Daemonkid replied to DirtyscumbagLith's topic in General Discussion
Bro, it's a desync issue. I was with my buddies, I couldn't actually see them(Where they actually were) but his character that was on my screen, I ran up to him and punched him in the head, and knocked him out. He was with my other buddy about 100 meters away from where I was. So, there is that. -
Containers inside containers bug. It's really annoying. I was trying to play with my buddies tonight, but when we grouped up it got bad. I asked everyone to drop their containers. It steadied it out for like 30 mins, then it got bad again and the game was unplayable.
