Seen a few of the new animations they are putting into the Standalone and they are looking good. Do you think the mod will ever get updated animations, I mean I dont mind the one we have, was just ondering if we will ever get any new ones? . In 3rd person, To me it looks like your doing up the shoelaces of a giant when ever you craft or repair :)

You mean, you gave up being a total douche bag scum murderer oxygen thief and grew into a hero type? good for you, But you were never a Bandit, People will of course, oneday realise that there is a HUGE difference between folks who KOS (dickheads) and a true bandit. You were a MURDERER KOS douche that became a good guy, I think you mean :) .. and welcome man, it takes more control and patients and the sigh of a real man (or woman) when you can take the time to help folks rather than hinder.

what a crap gun, to be honest, but worth a look none the less!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQpfQd1397E#t=209

Yeah, Because I know I want to wear the clothes from the asshole I just shot, that are covered in what could be highly infectious or deseased blood. I would rather find a new set of skins to be honest. If they have worked out the model where you bleed exactly from where you were hit on your body, I dont see why it would be any different from the equipment your carrying. Believe me if a single round from an AK-47 hit a set of NV goggles or even a bullet-resistant vest, there would not be much left in the way of a trully functional item left. Example A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixnTDXg9eLs (the last rifle is what iam talking about) I think your concerns are unfounded, like it has been said many many times before, the game is still in ealry Alpha. Now go and watch a bunch of videos of what happens when items and folks are hit by real ballistic rounds and tell me what the problem is, after the same happens in the standalone game. (you can watch this at many sites, one of the best is http://www.military.com/ , BUT i warn you its very graphic in nature. ALl i can say is your very lucky to come off yoru bike at high speed and have nothing but your clothes slightly roughed up. I have seen some bike accidents that left high-grade helmuts and heavy leathers, look like nothing but broken eggs and shreaded wheat, Not to say anything about the person in side of that protective gear.

Hardly a Bandt story, might fit into the catagory of "Kill on sight" or "murder for shits and giggles" story. Folks still confuse a true bandit effort for one of just shooting at anyone you see. A true bandit, as I see it, is one that can strip another player bare without firing a shot, or better still if really skilled, and you have the element of suprise, relinquish a group of players from their weapons and or goods and walk away kitted out and still have not having fired a shot. True banditry comes from knowing when to approach an individual or individuals in a situation that leaves them 100% at your mercy in which you, being the bandit, can dictate the terms of any outcome. Putting yourself into the right place and the right time, to have such an advantage, is the true skill of being a true bandit. Just my opinion ;)

Hetstaine had to stand still during those screenies..Stood still, TURNED the graphics on full, take the screenies, then back to normal to low graphics to move again at a decent frame rate lol (Iam joking brother, Either you have a monster RIG and flash vid card or you did what I described above, either way it worked well to give a short and sweet graphicaly story :). Have some beens sir... P.S. I wonder how many folks Get your name tag being a cross Between Hetfield and Mustaine? I guess just us old Metal heads ;).... ever seen the footage of Mustaine fucking up when he was in Metallica? and James was just shaking his head like "Get your shit together Ginger Ninja"!!! here is the link, look at 29:30 .funning shit :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulXhyJagHXM

Epoch has just been updated too... You would love this mod, and not just for the female skins ;). Speaking for myself, Iam finding this mod amazing just so much depth and stuff to do, My girl is playing also and she is having a blast having come from Vanilla dayz after a long stint.

Epoch is amazing, been playing it for a few weeks now and its trully a grand experiance. Brought me and alot of old dayz timers out of retirement! Keep up the good works lads at Epoch!

Been a long time since I messed with any files or code of BIS stuff, we used to mod Operation flashpoint back in the day which was fun as hell. So I direct this question to the folks that would be much up to date on this stuff. I have heard of a "walking dead" sort of idea where you add more zombies then slow them down to walkers, to give the world a "walking dead" feel as apposed to a "28 days later" feel with running infected. BUT would it be, at all possible, to some how rip the walking zombies animations from the UNDEAD MOD from arma2 (seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuvttFLgIB8 ) and place them into a dayz mod ? In that way having three different walking animations and zombie types, hence mixing it up a bit in the world. Just curious is all :)

Thats cool, but what I am really just asking is if it would be at all possible to bring over zombie animations from the undead mod to Dayz at all? This is not a suggestion or a proposal or even a debate on fast vs slow zombies. I just want to know about the animation swap possiblities :)

True that,would bring it to its knees.I would rather make it a single player or small group world and just for shits and giggles. I am more interesed if the animations CAN be ripped from one and placed in the other.

Good question, It would have to be done with good smoke and mirrows. They spawn in mass numbers when your around, and despawn in mass numbers when you leave, with a certain percentage of those that you have agroed, which would continue to follow you over great distances. IAm more interested if we could port over the animations of the zombies from the Undead mod. That woud be very cool

Its more for the Atmosphere I guess. They would need tweaking and extra damage and such, so if they ever did get to you then you would be pretty much done. I dont know, have always wanted to see what it would be like to play in the dayz world with "walking dead" of "Romero" style zombies. THEy dont have to be snails, just slower and greater numbers that never stop coming. Maybe have it so they can hear you from great distances, and once on your tail, they never stop coming to you, unless they get distracted by another player thats closer. You could never settle anywhere and you would always be on the run it would seem. I dont know, somtimes the "slow burn" grants a deeper feeling of dread than the "firebrand" of adrenaline. Both have their place in the Dayz universe!

Sorry if this question is out of place here, but did not want to start a whole new thread on it. Was just going to ask, R4zor do you think there will ever be different zombie animations brought into the mod in the future?

It is on Atlis already ... and you can set up your own server of it. Dayz arma 3 Atlis was realeased on 21st of this month. http://deadnation.eu/?page_id=2

The DMR in dayz actually has a name. It is an M21 basically or the M25 variant, all that DMR stands for is Designated Marksman Rifle, which can be any rifle at all that is not quiet a sniper rifle but more than a regular combat rifle! I wish they would drop the DMR tag and give it its rightful name, although I understand its function in dayz! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M21_Sniper_Weapon_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M25_sniper_rifle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_marksman_rifle

You sound to me, like a desperate ex-girlfriend that wants to have one more date...using caps in your title then giving away all your personal details MAY mot be the way to go about finding that "partner" around here.Just a thought champ ;)

Thats a shame, I thought the zombies (or infected) of the update before 1.7.7 were fantastic. They run straight towards you, more or less, and really started to have a serious threat about them which was balanced with the fact they were much much smoother and hence easier to target and take down, but if they got you at all you had troubles. They really started to fucntion well in my opinion. The fact they spawned while you drove around in your vehicle was amazing. It made you have those moments of "I Think I might just drive on through this town", with a bunch of screaming lunatics spewing from houses and sheds and streets alike. The best part and feature I had seen in a long time was the "wandering zombies (of infected)" or "WIld Zombies" (or infected), it gave you that sense that no where was safe at all and indeed that great image of the few lonely dead walking slowly over the hill or through a field towards you, really added somthing to the feel of the world. I dont think the zombies needed changing at all from the previous update. I trully hope to see them spawn while driving in my car, perhaps somtime in the future, and instead of taking out the 'wandering" zombies, maybe add more. I understand there must be comprimise when adding new content, but to remove these two amazing features seems to take away from the game, rather than add to it. Just my thoughts. Keep up the good work folks and lets all hope the Standalone will hit soon.

Iam finding Dayz Epoch an amazing experiance... I have tried many different variations of Dayz, still love the vanilla, but Epoch has really raised the bar for me and I have not looked back!

I concur sir, I gave up reading comments on the net years ago, because the ignorance and down right stupidity of people in this world, would make my blood boil and take years off my life....Then there is the "troll" which came up from under the bridge and reared its toothless ugly head ALL over the net...FUck it all I say, time to be that Hermit on the hill with "fast broadband", the standalone when it comes out, a couple dark haired russian pole dancers that also are master Dayz players and all the cold guinness and hot Thai cococnut chicken soup I can eat !! :) "

I was in the hills at the back of Balota Air field watching the coast on a busy server....Lots of bambies went running by and I even took out some zombies for em...Then I see this guy in camo with an akm hanging around the tower and he was shooting and murdering every newbie that came along. He ended up getting about 4 or 5 poor bastards. I could not get a clear shot on him until he went into the tower. He bent over to pick up somthing on the floor and I shot him in the spine from about 700 yards with an m24 (which is no great feat for it is a very acurate gun and I had already ranged the place up). But that has to be one of my most rewarding kills. The bastard was not even a bandit, just a bambie murderer, so was good to dish out some of his own medicine to him!!

Humans infected with some sort of Hybrid form of Rabies that run at me wanting to beat and eat me, I can see happening . Giant fucking spiders belong, and should stay in, Skyrim and the coming hobbit films.... ;) and besides , they are not that scary if Bear Grylles can eat them then FUCK IT i would do the same !!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJRpXYs1pQA

I caught my cat downloading hacks and trying to load Dayz...that and some really nasty german porn,,,BLOODY cats these days huh!!

Its Dayz , your going to die somtime!!! Get over it or perhaps play another game if this one makes you rage to much mate!!
