Rocket tweeted (or reddited) about sounds saying they won't really be putting them in place till near the end incase they change animations or whatever so the sounds are synced to the animations correctly, or something along those lines! (i can't recall word for word google it or something *shrug*) so i think our chars are going to be a lil gender confused for quite some time! But after healing relog if they're still groaning seems to be some infinite loop glitch after they start complaining!

Most people i meet are friendly and i spend as much time in the south as i do north (i've been KoS'd like 3-5 times in my 170 hours) I'm all of the above. I don't play a set way, i just play to the situation; sometimes i rob people, sometimes i help people, sometimes i KoS, sometimes i avoid all human interactions and sometimes i just creep and fuck with people, it purely depends on what i need, how i feel and how i consider the other person after observing them to what i will do. I'm just trying to survive yo! :P

What The Hell Is With The Slowdown Period For Zombies?
twingunz replied to King of kong's topic in General Discussion
being a zombie buff since i was a single sperm i agree. The "zombies" in the game are not zombies but infected same as in 28 day later also not zombies simply zombies are dead, infected ("rage zombies") are not, thus not zombies Here's the definition from the dictionary Zombie. "the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernaturalforce, usually for some evil purpose." but all that said the "zombies" are being redone and they've said countless times the whole zombie AI is being reworked so i'm sure we will see many changes over the course of the alpha / beta -
this news makes me happy, i like seeing unique games do well!

Posted this a few days ago in general never realised there was an suggestion section (oops) I don't know if this is on the cards i've yet to see any information about it but i would love to see quality of carbs matter and by that i mean whole foods vs simple sugars a sugar is basically a temporary carbohydrate that burns quickly whereas fibrous and protein rich foods are a slower longer lasting Carb source at the moment i can have some cans of soda and fill my hunger up fairly easily i'd love it for in the future if simple sugars such as the sodas only lasted 15-20 minutes. Basically what i'm saying is certain foods should be more filling for longer not just be a higher carb level but also affect the rate at the carbs are burnt based on the type of carb the food is you are digesting! Quality of food is important and i think it should matter more; it will also create a new dynamic as better quality foods will be more sort after other than just slaming a few cans of soda and being fine to run across the full map, for example when meats come into play from hunting they would be able to sustain you for much longer due to protein taking days to fully digest when in comparison to the 30-40 minutes it takes for your body to burn up simple sugars e.g sodas, candy etc. before you say ALPHA!!! i know this is an idea not a complaint haha! I don't think the game should go into the full macronutrient level (although i personally would love it if they did go as deep as macros as it'd make for players with better understanding of health and nutrition to able to have healthier characters, same as how players with medical knowledge have an advantage in the medical department with the deeper medical system that is coming, etc) but i feel carb quality is simple enough for everyone to grasp (it's better to have a steak than it is to have a soda; logical enough) and creates deeper less shallow gameplay when it comes to food sources.

I never played the original, why is there 3rd person?
twingunz replied to infiltrator's topic in General Discussion
So whats the solution then? if you remove 3PP it does the same thing as having separate servers as people that don't like 1PP simply won't play (and so they shouldn't it's always been part of the game and they have a right to play the way they like which is part of the games mechanics) thus it's the same result as separate servers. There is no issue people making drama over nothing as there is a solution already it might not be perfect but neither is life so live with it and move on ;) -
haha yeah i never proof read till after i post (always editing) i should really stop that and proof before post but i know i wont :P Hopefully they do keep adding to the current system as even now it's interesting, i just want more as i'm greedy! Agreed! i do like the current system and the base of it is perfect in my opinion i don't want to change that at, i just like the idea of adding quality of carbs as well so sugars burn faster. Meaning soda isn't as appealing as a food source as it is currently due to it providing a faster burning carb making me actually try and find more substantial foods that burn slower and keep me going longer, other than downing four sodas and it being good to go for another few hours!

Normally i like to give a decent response to people but just google it rockets made numerous statements on this, i can't even fap to this subject anymore.

Is wind a factor in SA already? Is wind constantly blowing to the East?
twingunz replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
I think it's a will be a thing i believe as the new volumetric clouds are dynamic (i could be wrong) and grass is normally affected by wind too which at the moment for me it is not but yes it seems to only blow east for the moment more than likely like everything in the game now it's just a place holder to be done later. But really no idea just speculating here. -
Thanks dude, yeah i've read that and watched the videos already but i don't recall there being a mention of quality or how carbs are used as far as i'm aware currently all carbs are rounded into the same category and take the same time to burn just the food provides more or less carbs than others as in 2 soda cans = 1 tin of beans making it about how much you need to consume not how the food actually effects you; where in real life (i know it's a game i swear haha) a soft drink or bag of chips has more carbs than a burrito or sandwich yet the sandwich or burrito in real life will sustain you for longer even with less carbs due to the fact it's not a simple sugar but instead mainly fiber and protein. Please correct me if i am wrong just going by how i thought the game system currently works, but i'd love to see a more true to life basic food system i feel it would be more interesting and important as at the moment i can just spam some cans of drink and it'll all even out no matter what i am eating which in my opinion is kind of silly.

Normally after i gear up i start to gear down, start only carrying minimal supplies i always ditch military gear asap makes you the worlds largest KoS target i don't normally KoS but if you're in military gear i know you serious and i ain't risking that so i'ma shoot you down! but if you just hangin out in a flannel, tee or jumper i'll just stalk you for a bit :P But if you want all elite gear then you gotta get rid of the m4 buttstock for the magpul and get the rail handguard and attach a flashlight to fully deck you gun out. Also press vest, stab proof vest and weapon holster are the best vests purely for badassery ;) Edit: also eat all the food / sodas; i don't carry food on me ever i just have 1 water bottle and i've never starved or even been hungry / thirsty, eat and drink what you find at every town till you're full then move on to give yourself more inv space and it'll easily keep you in a healthy status.

Polana is my go to stock up town almost guaranteed no one has been there lot's of good loot buildings a supermarket the office building lots of two story buildings and the corner cafe great place to supply up plus it's right next to a factory that can have military spawns and large backpacks ;) Kinda regretting giving away my sweet spot haha
-
Yeah i've had it happen 3 times in the last 24 hours seems to happen to me on server restart when i'm still in it then relog, i just fall to the old Alpha logic *shrug* Edit: My original that wiped first had the stab proof vest that i was wearing for purely boastage *man tears*

I honestly think irl it would be just as much KoS mentality as in the game, atleast untill numbers thin out (but ingame we spawn so numbers obviously never thin out) but when time goes on and numbers thin and supplies increase due to less demand (people) is when communities start to rebuild. During the mayhem with still moderate population people would be crazy for supplies, fear, whatever but again after numbers thin out and people start to form groups and start touching base thats when irl (i feel) KoS would start to slow down (as calm and order starts to regain its footing) and it would become more turf warfare, so what i'm saying is it's up to us to find similar players and start our own communities of like minded players to best survive KoS as playing lonewolf (how i normally like to role) you could never survive forever in such a hostile world irl or in game. Edit: I just think KoS is great for RPers it brings in a whole element to survival, as if irl this did happen i'd kill anyone stepping into my home whether they were friendly or not until shit was calm and i knew what the f*ck was going on, till then why would i risk a stranger in my space when right now in a calm non zombie mayhem world i wouldn't let a stranger in my home so doing so in a world gone to sh*t seems a lil silly to me! KoS is reployaing to me haha

How many hours have you played DayZ SA so far?
twingunz replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
wowzers i thought my 162h was shameful glad a lot have more than me haha! -
Nipples are offensive. sarcasm Flashlight makes sense for what others stated (no point repeating) what i'd like is your clothes to be ruined as well to encourage you to change clothes to the 1st thing you find instead of just waiting on them 6 slot pants and 4 slot top with no incentive (other than vanity) to change your starter clothes, that way it'd force people out of there all green starting clothes for a white tee or striped tee.

The future of DayZ, it's a simple question after all...
twingunz replied to Hikurac's topic in General Discussion
Don't misinterpret me! i agree there's a lot of good ideas put out by the community (and equally as many bad) i myself post my ideas and dislikes too but in reality most of the good ideas are also obvious idea's that im sure 95% of them the dev team has thought of already or has better alternatives anyways if i completely disagreed with community input i wouldn't be active in the forums haha -
The future of DayZ, it's a simple question after all...
twingunz replied to Hikurac's topic in General Discussion
I personally wouldn't worry about the community swaying anything Rocket AKA Dean has in mind as i don't think gives a sh*t about our opinions and i think that's a good thing that he doesn't as we are idiots and would ruin the game, more power to him. i hope he never even reads these forums tbh haha i mean really the majority of us have no idea what's possible or not and we think our ideas are the be all and end all to every problem and solution as if the devs have no idea what they're doing when in reality they have every idea what is happening and we are just opinionated assholes! -
pretty sure it kills you by mem
-
I hop from time to time i like to watch the people in the server to make sure i'm not near the top of the list after 10 minutes, as i figure if i've moved from 30-40 to in the top 10 longest players in 10 minutes then obviously it's all hoppers and no one really playing the game and if i am near the top i change server but never within a loot area and if i'm close i generally move on seeing i had already looted it (sometimes not always haha) still i did no; even though i don't think it's that black and white as i consider the term 'server hopping' to be intent to exploit the game.
-
Not necessarily plenty of mmo's keep your character in game for the duration even with you being disconnected and i'm pretty sure rocket has said on reddit they would be implementing a logout timer as a priority when he returns. Edit: 30 seconds i think would be perfect, short enough to wait without being annoying and long enough to stop people trying to combat log.

I saw that video too i don't think it was a devblog one, i think it was a 20 min gameplay but no they're not scrapping the island as far as i could tell he just basically said they put it on the island but it looked forced and didn't fit in so they decided to move it off of the island
-
in a way i like this as if it'll keep the hoppers away from joining the servers i'm in and clearing out the loot before i can make the trek then they can keep them haha

My DayZ is almost completely unplayable
twingunz replied to GotAWarInTheHead's topic in General Discussion
haha errr well i mean my whole net was running slow that's why i was having problems, so i ran some speed tests and passed on the information when i called them to see if my speed was correct (which it wasn't) as i was getting 3mbps instead of 15-20mbps which my plan allows, so do some tests yourself see if you are also having slow overall speeds and act accordingly from there, if you're not having net problems then i have no idea!
