To people who said that the're gonna hide backpacks and see if they're still there later
James Hawke replied to nishka's topic in General Discussion
I still haven't logged back in. I'll look for them tomorrow or later this evening. -
Not a bug at all. It seems that all of those times, you combat logged. That will never work in DayZ SA. After you log out, your toon still sits there for at least half a minute before disappearing. Whatever attacked you before you hit 'exit' will most likely kill you in the meantime. Not a bug. Your own fault.

Tents dissappearing or looted within half a day
James Hawke replied to Agony (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I just placed a leather sack and an improvised courier bag in two random locations on a persistent server with my friend. We'll go back there tomorrow to see if they're still there. The sack can be quite easily seen if you happen upon it but the courier bag is well hidden and can actually not even be picked up (it bugged out in a tree when we made it). So if that's gone I'll know persistence doesn't quite work. EDIT: Looked for my stuff. Leather sack has been taken (someone left his talon backpack there), the bugged out courier bag was still in the tree. -
Tents dissappearing or looted within half a day
James Hawke replied to Agony (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I'd guess you'll have to hide them better... Be creative - Don't ask me how though, I have yet to find even one tent. With the dynamic loot respawn, cities are pretty empty right now. Which means that people actively go out looking for other people's tents. You can put them in the most remote of places, but that's exactly where people will go looking for them. -
Not exactly sure whether it was hacking or just desync, but the way he attacked you straight from the front, crouching, I'd say he was hacking. If it was just desync, why would he be right in your face? He knew you wouldn't have time to react.

Doesn't work in SA like that... Zombies can apparently hear your asshair grow from the other end of town and see you from a mile away squatting in a bush. Crouching/sneaking doesn't help. Also melee is broken since the last two patches. Zombie hitboxes are all over the place but never where they're supposed to be, so pummeling them to death with your fists is - if not entirely impossible - pretty close to being impossible right now.

Looking for people to play DayZ mod with
James Hawke replied to ThatKid0_0's topic in General Discussion
You should perhaps post this in the mod forum then. That would be further down the index site... -
You can find drum mags all over the place. Not only at military loot spawns. Yesterday I found one in a jeep near Karmanovka.

James Hawke replied to irishroy's topic in General Discussion
Yes! Horses! :D -
What do you think is the future of Dayz SA?
James Hawke replied to zahinc's topic in General Discussion
:D To be perfectly honest I don't think this game will ever reach the Beta stage in my lifetime :D -
Describe Your Playstyle In 5 Words Or Less
James Hawke replied to Karmaterror's topic in General Discussion
How would dying have worse consequences than losing your character and having to start over? Do you want to give people a week long ban before they can respawn or what? While that would certainly solve the issue, it will also drive many many people away for good xD Also I usually have better things to do than getting mugged by a kid with a gun on the internet ^^ -
Describe Your Playstyle In 5 Words Or Less
James Hawke replied to Karmaterror's topic in General Discussion
Since dying and dropping everything are pretty much the same anyhow, why should I? :D -
Well... any bigger town really. Try Chernogorsk, Elektrosavodsk, Zelenogorsk, try the airfields (and get shot in the process)
-
As Minion stated right above you, there are no zombies in Novo. Not one. Nowhere.
-
Seriously you can't find zombies? xD You can find out the name of the town you're in by looking for street signs. They're in cyrillic but you can check them on http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus

Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
James Hawke replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
When the zombies work as well as they do in Dead Island, I'm happy :P At least those were scary to some degree and not just an annoyance. -
I was looting Mogilevka with my friend today. All each of us had was a 4 slot jacket and 4 slot pants each. No backpacks, just an axe on the back... Well, one shot from I don't know where, my buddy was dead. Next shot I was dead. No warning, no missed shots, someone just one-shot us both in the middle of nowhere.
-
What does SMERSH stand for? To me the word sounds just like the texture looks...
-
In case it hasn't been said yet: I want to be able to repair and use trains xD There is such an abundance of traintracks on the map...
-
Well since you already have a respawn timer after clicking respawn, why not just put the timer BEFORE clicking respawn and not AFTER?

These two fit awfully well together :D -
This video made me want to play DayZ
James Hawke replied to creativecole's topic in General Discussion
lol that's hilarious :D -
Why...........(movement and avatar control)
James Hawke replied to creativecole's topic in General Discussion
Yes that's the problem. Combat is not the only thing DayZ is about. CSGO is just the wrong system to compare it to. So very wrong. CSGO is not necessarily more fluid than DayZ, it's just so much more simplified. You always have a set amount of ammo for your gun, no gun has bullet drop, no zeroing for sniper rifles, instant death with the AWP no matter where you hit your target, you can be at 1HP and still move and jump around happily without a worry in the world unless someone hits you again, no scope sway, no breathing, hell you don't even have to 'ready' your gun to shoot. That doesn't work in DayZ. -

James Hawke replied to creativecole's topic in General Discussion
Honestly, if you want a fast paced and fluid deathmatch/team deathmatch/hostage scenario/bomb scenario game, do play CSGO. -
How many ammo do you carry?
James Hawke replied to HeroAtDay BanditAtNight's topic in New Player Discussion
On my new 8 slot character, one pack of 7.62x51 for my Blaze :P
