You know i was wondering the same thing we see stuff form the other teams a lot but nothing from the 2 teams that do animals or the zeds. would be nice to hear from those cats I do worry about our infected friends hopefully they enjoy there vacation and are ready to come back to work soon.

sure seems cool and functional. And a lot of folks want to do the medic thing so the more things of that nature that can be added go for it i say.

Looking at patch .58 In General, What has changed?!
gannon46 replied to venkman302's topic in General Discussion
I see what your saying I too figure that they are gathering data on where we go what we loot and will adjust accordingly. As for zeds who knows honestly i don't care as crazy as it sounds it makes looting areas so much more tense since i don't have my zed alarms to tell me someone is nearby. But i figure they'll be back I would rather they just work on them till they are a lot better and try again, I would like to see the amount of players on a server raised first like to 70 or 75,maybe higher or lower it doesn't matter to me as long as its not so many it doesn't feel like the apocalypse but a riot. -
well hope you see some action eventually sir.

I have noticed when i run into folks on the server i play on they seem more desperate. when i search there loot they have nearly no food or ammo just enough to get to the next house or town. I've been really lucky it seems they don't think, they want food and what i have so bad or want it so bad that they just think raise gun pull trigger before they think maybe he's not alone. I love it i hope to have more friendly encounters but the ones I've had the folks try and get close as not to miss or try and surprise me by hitting me in a CQC type of area. maybe its the server i'm on i don't know but i'm loving the style the sly stab you in the back approach i havn't had my hands shake like this in awhile. anyone else have interesting player stories or noticed a change in how folks are interacting with you or you interacting with them.

Don't drop your guard if you can just expect the unexpected and you'll be fine.

gannon46 replied to venkman302's topic in General Discussion
no has mentioned the third person camera change which i think is fantastic. persistence is on finally and loot seems alright i havn't had any issues its all down to how much your willing to look, for me at least. I hear and read complaints of issues with persistence but myself haven't really encountered many problems I've been on the same server though too so maybe i'm just lucky. there has been and will be lag every once and awhile but it goes away i think performance for me at least has increased others say different. I would try it if your wanting to see theres no heli's added or giant wallas you can build yet but i think the game finally feels like a survival game. I find myself actually doing food/water runs,I have to watch my ammo as i don't have a whole lot. I also find me and my friends scouting inot the unknown areas we don't travel and having a blast finding that village that no one has looted yet full of food and such then getting paranoid that some survivor might tread in and try and take it. things like that given I havn't switched servers so i only get what the hoppers leave me lol. no really its a good update just needs time and some love form the devs. -
I've been everywhere as well had a few encounters in places i usually don't ever see anyone. Folks could be anywhere at anytime all you can do is be ready.

havn't seen any explosives yet so good luck finding one.

Will we EVER see DayZ get to this level of gruesome?
gannon46 replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
i would like to see some blood and maybe rotting corpses, but the real gore like you have in the screenshot OP i would like to be from players. Say someone guts a human for meat then it creates quite a mess in the area things like that. I can imagine walking into a house looking for something and finding the house used for butchering players. or walking through town you see players on the ground with there brains blowed out could kinda let you know you have a sniper on your hands and he might be decently skilled. i hope to one day see this kind of stuff to at least one degree or another though. -
My dumb ass spent like 4 hours with a bunch of friends setting up a camp fixing a truck collecting things just to have it go POOF. Has anyone heard if they are planning on a fix soon because from what i gather persistence is off which for me ruins the entire update. So i had to update my friend who runs a private hive stated that for persitence to work on a server he had to manually reset it then it worked. I'm surprised and a little disappointed that this info wasn't readily available a lot of time has been wasted of course the admin of the server i play on was MIA all damn day so i'm changing servers.

DayZ Standalone only hear fresh spawn and all want to kill me ;/ no help nobody...
gannon46 replied to hajud's topic in Gallery
i thought of a scenario such as this. yes we need the ability to throw stuff. -
I try not to hit P anymore it ruins the paranoia and adrenaline when you find the once full pop server is now 0 or like 2. Now i just try and play if there's folks on there's folks on if not i treat it as though they could still be there atleast that way you don't get soft.

gannon46 replied to hajud's topic in Gallery
the guys who do this stuff menaing guys who smoke freshies on the coast do it because they can't win against a fully geared player. they've probably gotten smoked to many times and are lazy and lame and instead want to shoot fish in a barrel and just grief some poor bastard. oh well such is life in cherno hence why if i'm on the coast i'm not on the damn tracks or any road. -
New reload mechanic for bolt-action rifles with scopes
gannon46 replied to slizzedy's topic in Suggestions
or you could get a friend with bino's and actually try and be a sniper team have one guy watch the shots and the enemies movement the other the shooter sets up the kill box and focus's on doing the job. no need for a new mechanic to reload so you can see your shots get a friend and some bino's and hopefully sometime in the future rangefinders that work good and all is well. -
Supressing voice-chat outside of Dayz (Skype, Mumble, TS3, etc.)
gannon46 replied to S3V3N's topic in General Discussion
I played on an RP server where they had some rules for TS they had one and it was treated like a radio If your friend wasn't around then you weren't supposed to use it even if your in the same channel in combat or in a player interaction you had to use VOIP. it was sort of an honor system and was wierd getting used to but I will say it made things alot more intense especially when i seen a person and i'm trying to tell my buddy through voip without alerting the unknown player that he's there. I noticed most folks would follow the rules most wouldn't be grimey was cool i heard a lot of crazy shit from players just from gander necking. server was chenarus RP.com should check it out they have a steam group good bunch of folks the admin also create characters that cause trouble in factions to spice things up on most RP server things can get stale where folks are too friendly sometimes. -
The Psychology of Understanding Alpha
gannon46 replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I bought it because i think they can pull it off to completion. and we are not patient. -
to enter a base with walls it should be as simple as climbing over with a ladder, if needed possibly wire cutters if it had wire at the top or around it. One should not need explosives except if they want that level of destruction and want to be loud and in your face which should be an option. Big bases or villages colonies whatever you want to call them can still exist with a authentic approach to demolition and infiltration your real defense will be to have manpower to maintain the said base as well as building it and its security. To me if you want a massive base with shit loads of people then you need to work for it, you better get some guys from all over the world so you have shifts of guards round the clock, sounds crazy but i'm sure you would see it happen there's some large crews that play this. the lone wolves or smaller groups should think small and use common sense stealth is your number one concern and at the same time you would want to split your stuff up over an area and always plan ahead for losses. I'm talkin out of my ass probably but it should take a hell of a lot of effort and scavenging and team work to get a stereotypical base, most with the loot the way it is will have smaller camps, and this is an opinion and nothing is in yet so who knows I just hope its authentic i know its a game and it should be fun but we signed on for this to be as authentic as it can be or at least i did i was prepared to be shot in the face by a kid when i purchased lol.

me and my friends call that shane'n a person.

they are adding a bullhorn so you whistling dixie will happen. Carrying corpses i agree with its something folks would do though would be nice if we could burn them or had to dispose of them because of the disease factor. the grenade thing yeah why not i don't go near corpses or try and loot them so that trap won't fuck me up anytime soon(If something is to good to be true it always is)and even if i was dumb enough for that trick so be it good on you.poisoning water supply thats cool I thought thats where the human defecating thing was going to come into play honestly, i thought dumbasses were going to be able to shit in the ponds and stuff making it like the nile but corpses are cool too. the thing thats good about these suggestions is there are ways to negate the effects of what your wanting so if your smart or atleast cautious you won't be had by the tricks.
-
hicks said everything will be destructible there is not going to be some magical barrier keeping out players. So yeah go ahead and buy another copy for nothing because a key isn't going to mean shit when you can just go through a wall or door so i think most folks wouldn't waste the cash for that. now mules who cares if someone wants to buy another copy because they are weak and attached to there gear so be it is what i say.

I'm down for any kind of building and crafting aslong as it takes time relative to what your building or crafting. I don't want it to be like H1 folks using 2 nails and 2 boards building goddamn shit shacks all over the damn place and on roads just asshattery at the highest degree. no carrying a house in your pack parts should be realistic 2 you have to carry plywood and 2x4's not put them in your pants. If they do it right and keep it as authentic as possible than all will be well. If not they better turn up the spawn of explosives because i'm gonna need them.
-
and we need to be able to carry them in our packs and litter the entire world with them until it looks like neo-detroit.
-
I hope they let you build and fortify towns. I will set on the hill and watch it burn because thats what will happen it'll be a good show I'm sure.
