Would you Abort if in Danger of death?
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to abnormalweeny's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yes the "pussyi'malittlegirl" game style. -
Well the downside is it makes u look like an asshole but I'm fine with that if that's how you wish to portray yourself (speaking generally here, no necessarily you). You may not feel bad for "killing pixels" but this argument is fallacious at best. There's a player behind the "pixels" that has spent a good deal of time getting where he is, collecting his gear and has made plans for his immediate or long term future so if u don't give a shit about that - it makes u an asshole as well. Everybody needs to stop shitting themselves when they see other players or should we get ur mothers to sit with you and hold ur hands until you can become a decent member of society instead of a selfish prick?

That and ur grenades are fucking made of rubber. -
Throw animation is dumb
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to Brutal-Hunter's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The animations in arma just FUCKING SUCK! The BS cycle of going through phantom rifles and rockets launchers have been present since OFP over 10 years ago along with seemingly having to stop to do things that shouldn't cripple me -

My bro got me banned [BAN APPEAL]
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to aligatorz's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I'd use my little brother as an excuse, or my pet dog. Make ur brother get a job and pay for a new copy of Arma and u can play again. -

Hotfix Build 1.7.2.5 Rolling Update
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Can confirm private hive servers are saving tents and vehicles now - so when is the hotfix out for the public servers again since a fix is available? -
Apparently running helps get back humanity so off you go boys.... LOL - talk about poetic justice!
-
Do you look for the hero skin at all? I have one now and would like to think it will actually do something but yeah, bandits are definitely KOS (and highly satisfying as well)

It depends on the situation. Up close I'm likely going to shoot because 90% of people are idiots (sorry to the other 10% :() The other day a buddy and I are approaching Cherno from the west to meet up with a friend. It's a low pop server so we feel pretty safe. As we approach, along the beach we spot a figure. After working out it isn't our pal we drop to the floor and get our sights on him (he also dropped to the floor). Nothing happened so we did a "soft" break of contact. I moved back a few yards, turned and covered as my mate ran passed me then he stopped to cover me and we repeated the process for about 100 meters before heading off into the hills. We hook up with our mate in the store in Cherno but he's new and I want to get out of there but with about 3 peeps in on top of us, I let my guard down and i'm telling him where to get gear from (it's also pretty dark so I'm trying to guide him). Next thing I know we're both killed by a silent shooter. Funny thing is, it's the guy on the beach from earlier except he only counted 2 of us so he thought only 2 were there till he ran around the corner into the barrel of my mate and died (lmao). We get back, get our gear, get his gear and i'm now like " ok u got 2 minutes then we're out". The reason the guy didn't shoot us to begin with was probably the MP5SD he was carrying is dog shit at range (though he would have died if he tried since we had him bang to rights). He must have kept an eye on us and then went hunting for us in Cherno though it turned out ok because his gear went to our mate and I got a nice new ghillie suit out if it too. As for playing Solo actually you can. It makes me laugh that me running around by myself can last 10 - 20 hours without dying (and then dying because of players shooting me after I tell them I'm friendly and after I've been watching them fuck around in a store for 2 minutes and could have easily killed them) and then I look at the average life time and it's 30 mins or an hour now (though probably a lot of that is people respawning or committing suicide)

The tactical significance of sniper rifles, accumulated rebuttals and why they're here to stay
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Not sure going prone first is a good idea. At the range a sniper will engage you all he will see if a brownish or greenish field and u laying down without any grass around you. You however cannot see shit because you see the grass. Best thing to do is get in a bush or tree so u can't be seen. -
Vehicles.. Lets be honest
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to kreatura (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
As of 1.7.2.5 they are royally screwed. Server restarts are usually 1 a day and when it does, there's a good chance it'll spawn back where it started. Private Hive servers they work so maybe find a good one to join and stay there (it does mean you'll have a new "character" on that server but it's not like we all haven't had to start all over again 50 times over). -
Vehicles.. Lets be honest
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to kreatura (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Once the vehicles are fixed and the tents, we'll be putting our server back up and will be making regular use of the Huey (presuming we can fix it before it's taken) to scour the lands looking for assholes that horde vehicles and then we'll drive them into random towns and leave them there. We'll obviously have a few ourselves but we're not going to horde them all (we might even fix em up for u and leave em there for the taking) -
Once these have been removed, i.e. the replenishing ammo/rarity of ammo and you can no longer dupe the best gear or just give it to yourself via hacks, will we see a very different dayz emerge from the ashes? I think people are suddenly going to be a lot more cautious. 1) The hassle to find ammo for their favourite gun 2) Having to find a better gun because they know an enfield or winchester won't cut it which will make 3) more travel and effort and more attachment to ur gear as you actually had to fucking work for it. 4) The rarity of all the nice gear and the chance of loosing it Will these 3 things removed from the game be the biggest change in DayZ gameplay - they're a huge change in mechanics.

Dayz without hackers, dupes and ammo
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to Jex =TE= (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yes my post was more geared towards the Stand-alone version of the game - Arma is still going to have issues. -
Ban under 18s and third party programs from the standalone
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to RiggsUK's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It's a pity they can't incorporate radios into the game using ACRE which is part of the ACE mod. There are various different radios u can set to different channels which have limited ranges. The 343 for instance is about 1km (depending on terrain) so as u reach that, communications become garbled to the point u can't make out what people are saying. The 148 has more range and then the radio back packs and vehicle radios even further. ACRE needs TS to work and also takes over as direct comms in arma - i.e. your normal chat is directional and range based just like direct voip in game. The other great thing about it is joining players coming into your TS server can talk to u normally and u can hear them until they get into the 3d world, then ACRE takes over. This means you can direct players before they come in to where you are so u can meet up and of course in game, if u used a radio (not sure if u can encrypt ur own comms) other players will be able to hear you if they dial the same channel meaning ur radio etiquette needs to be spot on. -
Ban under 18s and third party programs from the standalone
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to RiggsUK's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think ur right for the most part - once the hackers are dealt with and access to instant weapons has been removed, most kids aren't going to be roaming the countryside looking for ammo for their winchesters in the vein hope of trying to hit something from 300 meters away lol -

Debug monitor will be gone in 1.7.3 !
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No but fixing the ammo will and on our private server we just hosted, that is fixed meaning the ammo you log out with in game will be the same when u log back in, i.e. it won't replenish. I expect to see this in 1.7.3 (it seems the priv servers have guys working to fix shit so I expect they also are talking to the devs). MUWHAHAHAHAHAH - I can't wait for the "I've got no ammo WAA WAA" posts. -
Debug monitor will be gone in 1.7.3 !
Jex =TE= (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No but the simple answer to that which is equally as valid is that you know when ur feeling alright so it can be argued either way. Honestly, I don't think if it stays in as a stat we can bring up or is on the hud or is taken away and we rely on the blood mark and colour in game that it's going to make a big difference. What would be cool is a thermometer. Get rid of the one on the hud and make us take our own temperatures so we can check if we're ill. -

I assume so? If people want to confirm kills, isn't that what you do - walk up to the body and kick it?
