Night time is when bandit hunting comes into its own...you can see muzzle flashes more easily. Now, if your one of the rare folks that do get night vision goggles then you just pray that they are the good guys when it comes to night time. Those folks complaining about it now better get used to it, because they will have to be subject to it in the standalone, atleast until private servers become available. Love night time, adds a whole new feel to the game. The changes are like , well, Night and day ;)

Just close the doors after you loot each room and you have a clear shot again ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqidU6fXwAA Good ideas, Just remember in Dayz they are more like infected than zombies. Hence they can be killed without headshots and YES, run indoors as well as out doors ;)

I just shoot them in the leg, slows them right down and no more respawn...Loot and explore at your own leasure after that!!

My advice is simply Practice mate,....Go to a huge flat open field and practice over and over. IF needs be use the Auto-Hover fucntion until you have it down pat. SOme folks regard using the Auto feature as a bit pussy But it will save you reacking it while you get the hantg of the weight and agility of the little chopper.. Good luck

I AM an Aussie Guy, just thought you best know that mate :)...

I agree to a point... NIght of the LIving dead -------> black man dies after being the only one to survive the night, Ironically ended up In the basement he hated so much, shot by a redneck... Dawn of the dead--------> Black man lives...gets to fly off in the chopper with the a beatiful blond. He will be having fine times in the days ahead Day of the dead--------> Black man lives...GETS TO FLY OFF IN A CHOPPER with a beautiful woman and a crazy drunk Irishmen to a sandy beach..HE will be having a great time in the days ahead. Land of the dead--------> Black guy is main zombie who EATS and gets to fuck up lots of living people. THE SMARTEST zombie in the world Diary of the dead------> SOme black guys die , some cool ones live so its 50/50 Survival of the dead-------> None really so not applicable... Return of the living dead--------> black guy lives, but all players in that movie end up as steam and vapour from a NUKE so , not applicable Night of the living dead (1990 remake) Black guy lives, but dies to bullet wound in the cellar he hated the most...once again shot by dumb bastard white guy Could go on,, but cant be fucked....But black guys have done alright in the zimbie genre...THE walking dead future series, things are looking up for our mocca brothers :).

Do you happen to work for this "defrag program" or did you happen to make it? ;) , just asking mate... sounds great otherwise

Yeah, cause thats very realistic and would not remove me from my immersion in the game at all ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHahahaha,, Oh man,, I spat out my beer on this one

no .50 cals is a great thing, sniping will take some actual skill now...I knew there was a reason my years of using an m24 would come in handy ;) .... BY THE way you have a link to this patch news?

Fraggle. Iam going to say somthing that is Not shite, Suzie, You come here to a gaming forum that is made up of perhaps 98% young males with hormones raging with a Pic like that and then not expect to have anyone comment on it? Calling folks Immature and what not? TAKE some bloody responsibility come ON!. I mean its a great way to get your topic looked up for sure, BUT you can hardly complain when people dont 1/ Take you seriously 2/ comment every other response with somthing to do with breasts 3/ If it IS not you I would seriously remove this pic for no other reason if the real person in that pic sees it, you can be in huge amounts of trouble and or up for lots of $$$$ in court so Just friendly heads up lass!!

I put this info in a thread that was started about a Triffid mod for Dayz, but thought I would give its own page to breathe. I call the idea Dayz of the triffids, I hope you like the ideas as they grow and hope its in the right place! Please let me know if anyone ever wants to make this a reality i have been wanting to do this ever since dayz came out. I have written a complete Mod for triffids but never did anything about it. I will release bits and pieces as time goes on. Enjoy *Dayz of the triffids* HERE are my thoughts on how a triffid game could work in dayz, some ideas given here but many more to come when its done Triffids have a life cycle inwhich after spawning they age and grow. listed below is the danger and cycle of the triffid types. 1. Juvenile = This young triffid spawns and takes 1 hour to reach the next level of growth. Its speed reduction is 50%, its stinger range is 2 metres and can attack once with a stinger after which they are rendered harmless. The venom causes 25% deafness and a 25% reduction in vision quaility. being stung by the juvenile does light damage and has a 10% chance to cause damage-over-time which causes a total of 3000 blood damage but may be treated by a normal bandage before this amount of damage is taken. THe bandage does not need to be treated before hand (see medicine and treated bandages later) 2.Young adult= This triffid is growing in strength, It takes this triffid 2 hours to reach the next growth level, its speed reduction is only 25%, its stinger range is 3 metres and resets after 30 seconds which allows for a second strike which can stack ontop of the first attack but after the second strike they are rendered harmless for a time. The toxin after a strike takes an hour to reset in a triffid (if the triffid is allowed to live or is unharmed) . The venom causes 50% deafness and a 50% reduction in vision quality, being stung by the young adult does medium damage and has 25% chance to leave damage-over-time which can bleed out to a total of 6000 unless treated by a normal bandage. the bandage does not need to be treated before hand (see medicine and treated bandages later). This triffid has a small chance with each sting, 10% to render the player unable to walk.* breaks their leg* 3. Adult= The adult triffid is a danger indeed, it takes this triffid 3 hours to reach the next level of growth, its speed is 100%, its stinger range is 4 metres and resets after just 15 seconds and has the venom glands to deliver upto three consecutive venom strikes which can stack making them very dangerous indeed. The venom causes 75% deafness and 75% reduction in visual quality,being stung by an adult does heavy damage and has a 35% chance to leave damage-over-time which will stop after 9000 blood damage unless its treated by a TREATED bandage (see medicine and treated bandages). Ontop of this this triffid has a 25% to "break a leg" taking the ability to walk away from the player. In this state the player may only crawl which happens to be the same speed as an adult triffid. 4. Fully matured (seed master) = These triffids though rare are extremely dangerous , they move 125% faster, there stinger can reach 5 metres, and can reset after 10 seconds and has enough venom to strike five times which can all stack so the potential is 5 full stings in 50 seconds if your unlucky enough to wear the full brunt.THE venom causes 100% deafness and 90 % blindness making it almost impossible to see. The hit does severe damage and has a 45% chance to leave a Bleed-over-time that will kill if not treated (12000 blood damage). The treatment for a sting of one of these is special (see medicine and treated bandages). Ontop of this the triffid has a 40% chance to "break a leg" taking the ability to be able to walk from the player. In this state the Matured triffid is faster than a crawling player and therefore considered higjly dangerous in all ways. ALL venom and damage works like this. 1. There is a one off damage given by the triffid apon stinger contact which differs to the age and growth of the triffid. This is light (500) medium (1000) heavy (2000) severe (3000) 2. Ontop of the one off damage each triffid has a chance to inject the venom which leads to a loss of blood over time (Juvenile =3000 slow loss 5 mins over time) (young adult=6000 slow loss 4mins over time) (adult=9000 faster loss 3 mins over time) (mature seed master=fast loss 11,999 1 min over time and if not treated 100% blindness will accour after this time) 3. Ontop of the one off damage and venom(bleeding damage) some triffids have a varying chance to render the player unable to walk (break a leg) Young adult has a 10% chance to *break a leg* Adlut has a 25% chance to *break a leg* Mature seed master has a 40% chance to *break a leg* HOW the damage system works for triffids. The toxin in a triffid stinger,when exhusted, takes a full hour to reset in a triffid like ammo if you will. This means if struck by an adult triffid the player would receive a heavy hit which is 2000 blood damage, then also from that hit a 35% chance to be injected with the triffid toxin (bleeding wound) and also from that one hit a 25% chance to be rendered unable to walk (broken leg). The same adult triffid must wait 15 seconds for another strike after the first HIT and will get two more hits after the first that have a chance of delivering the toxin with the same mechanics as above, after the 3 strikes with venom and its chances , the triffid can simple hit with a drained stinger and do the 2000 heavy damage is all with no more chance of toxin.The toxin, if placed on a player, will also effect sight and sound. Using the Adult triffid as the example apon the toxin being injected (35% chance) your sight and sound are reduced by 75% making it a serious outcome for the player. After the toxin has worn out from a triffids stinger the chances to go blind and deaf and break a leg are gone and it simply delivers the damage of 2000 direct blood damage and nothing more! This mechanic works the same for all Triffids with varying degrees of damage and or intoxification and its effects Medicine and treated bandages For the Juvenile and young adult Triffids a normal bandage will be require to stop the spread of venom (the blood loss effect) For the adult triffid a treated bandage will be needed to stop the venom (blood loss effect) TO Obtain a treated bandage it requires some work from the player beforehand. For an adult sting which leads to venom in the victim (DAMAGE OVER TIME) a treated bandage is needed and this is how it works The player may havest a stinger from a dead triffid (must be young adult and above). EACH triffid has a small chance to leave behind a stinger worth havesting (10% from the young adult, 25% from the adult and 35% from the mature). Once a player otains these they can use a craft like system on it. ONE bottle of boiled water ONE triffid stinger ONE empty can OVER a fire will turn the stinger into a pulp. THAT PULP needs to be mixed with one other craft item, an ANTIBIOTIC or ANOTHER TYPE OF HERB OR PLANT. Once mixed together it becomes a salve or balm. ONCE THE PLAYER has this stinger balm or salve they simple combine with a normal bandage and then you have a TREATED bandage or poultice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poultice) which then can be kept forever by the player until used. It will stop the damage-overtime (toxin) of all the triffids up to the mature! Treating the MATURE triffid sting is very hard but can be done by following the above steps, the only difference is that the TREATED bandage from the steps above must undergo one more process. You must combine three stinger Balms and two bandages which in effect makes a complete head and or body part wrap. BECAUSE the sting from a mature triffid takes just 1 minute to render you totally blind and Deaf you have but a short time to not only kill the triffid but get to a safe place if possible. THE full treated bandage (3 balms two bandages) needs to be placed on a player and left for 1 minute in which they cannot move nor see nor hear. IF by chance a player DID mange to kill the Mature triffid but did not have the means to treat himself, ie did not have a heavy treated bandage, then all he could do is wander around deaf and blind and on 1 blood point until another player cured him with a heavy treated bandage or he died. **UPDATE 1** Life cycles of the Triffids work like this. When a server is new or started there is a mixture of triffids , it will be spread like this percentage wise. 70% are Juvenile,15 % are young adult. 10% are adult and 5% are mature seed masters. The growth system will work on a timer like this. A juvenile would take 6 hours to reach Mature seed master status like this. One juvenile takes 1 hours to reach young adult, then 2 hours to reach adult then 3 hour to reach the deadly mature,so thats half the life of a 12 hour server. Which means the threat grows as the days go on. When the server resets it must remember how many and of which age the triffids are so as to spawn with the same ones after reset. Gives the player incentive to hunt down young ones before they grow. The mechanic will be fleshed out in full in futher updates here MUCH more to come soon, from my Dayz of the triffids. Everytime I add an update here i will keep it on the same thread and just mark it with **udate** and the number it is , to save room and what not!! please PM me if you are serious about making a team that can make this mod HOPEFULLY with the standalone technology! **Update2** (JUST to make things 100% clear, This mod is not being made at this time, these are simply working ideas and works that are being written with the idea of perhaps getting some interested parties to maybe looking at and making these ideas come to fruitition as a mod in the future! After reading Orloks post on fencing an idea formed! (I personally do not know what coding would need to be done to make barbed-wire a phyical barrier to the triffids in the game or on this engine, but in the event it can be done, i wanted to add what it would be like in game if it is indeed possible) PLayers will have the ability to erect and place wire fencing in the game that will hinder the movement of triffids. Each triffids from juvenile to mature will be able to damage the player erected fence over time that will result in the fence being destoyed once enough accumulated damage has been taken. Fencing kits will be rare but availble and it will be up to players to use them in the best and most affective ways! The amount of damage a wire fence can sustain before its broken and is knocked down by the tiffid and/or triffids will be subject to play testing. Suffice to say a single wire fence would not last long when a large number of triffids are prssed against it. There shall be a cummulative effect in damage for the more triffids there are against one fence and also for the amount that are behind and around the immediate triffids that have actual contact to the fence! **Update 3** PLayer story and start: As Bill the protaginist had done in the book, the player wakes up or starts with full sight and function for what ever reason they missed the "Light show" the night before and therefore retain their sight and sound. Besides triffids there will be NPC's that are blind and wandering around almost like a zombie does now in the walking mode. They will make shouts and noises that reflect their dread of being blind and hopeless. PLayers will be able to aid these Npc's but must remember not all Blind Npcs are friendly and some may even try and attack the player! (with a small percent chance to break a leg of a player and even knock a player uncouncious)! The rewards for saving and helping blind NPCS survivors is Humanity which will give you teh same bonuses as the current mod/game will give with perhaps some changes to refelct the Dayz of the triffids world! **Triffid guns** In the book and the mini series, the Triffid gun was made famous as a purpose built "ROUND METAL DISC" firing weapon that gave triffids a very bad day. I would like to see this gun in the Dayz of the Triffid mod for many reasons but nothing gives the triffids a very bad day like a shotgun with pellet shot. The anti-triffid gun should be able to be crafted after certain parts are found and the ammo for the gun should be able to be found and/or crafted as well.

Updates made!!

Thats some great ideas, Iam like you Orlok, HUGE fan of the book every since I was a young lad reading it and running around my Aunties HUGE gardens and fighinting and ducking imaginary triffids!! Those were the days, the smell of fresh cut grass and summers that lasted for ever ;)

WHEN i play Dayz and its the quiet times, I listen "in the background" the original Dawn of the Dead sound track mixed with the original 28 days later soundtrack and its golden HEre is a couple of what i mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-J9_g_YVPU

119.252.190.207:2302 its called Dayzbonfire , I played there a few times and find it an outstanding place to play, great admins and a good time !! http://dayzbonfire.net Is the website, check it out i reccomend it !

Dont even call them hackers, real hackers have skill and talent and great intelligence. These are nothing but script kids that download a script from a google search and suddenly think they are even close to the realm of hacking. It makes me laugh to hear them called Hackers , they dont even make up the shit on a piece of toilet paper that a hacker has wiped his ass on to be honest! ;)

yeah, the Fal became very rare again after the last patch where it used to be at every crash site, and the camo SVD I found 23 in 5 days and was lucky to find one a month on the whole server before the patch! Odd shit!!
