Reasons why Horses, Dogs, Wolves and Bears are NEEDED
strongtent replied to pacific_coast's topic in General Discussion
Give me Horses or give me death. I've been asking for them for about 6 months before SA release. So much can be done with a horse - Cover, Food, Transport, Storage, ect.. -
The nature of public hives effectively destroy the challenge of surviving.
strongtent replied to froggan's topic in General Discussion
I want this, but maybe when the game is at full release. Everything in the game is bullshit right now in my opinion because its so early in development. It sucks that admins can be pricks but that will never end. All we can hope for is bug fixes and features for a long while, and I'm content with that so long as they happen regularly and without hassle. -
Weapon sounds are completely bugged to fucking shit.
strongtent replied to wartzilla's topic in General Discussion
I don't have a problem with directional sounds, I have a problem with zombie rabbits and random ammo split noises. Christ do those break my immersion. -
Admins Shutting Servers Down When They Get Killed
strongtent replied to Solopopo's topic in General Discussion
A few weeks back me and my buddy were rolling hard and the admin and his buddies caught me off guard, my friend was further back due to real life shit. Anyways they killed me, then my buddy picked them off one by one at the firehouse and when he was searching their body the server restarted. -
I would like doors with noise and for some to be randomly opened to throw off those who are accustomed to not searching buildings with doors already open.
-
It's a bug with not just the jail but many buildings. It's similar to the original ghost recon military games, you just force your way into the building by doings certain movements...and its bullshit.

Day Z is too young.

Just died to a teleporting hacker, haha.
strongtent replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Not to be a douche by reviving an old thread about the same subject as most of what is being discussed on a regular basis here but - I feel this way as well, I am having fun on the alpha and can see the possibilities for the future and they look bright but perhaps a way to identify players in an easier manner should be researched; if not for security just for overall UI improvements. Maybe we could have a system that shows players names above their heads at a certain vicinity? Then maybe we can get some footage of said asshole... but then the custom character naming on the main menu would have to be reverted to how it was at launch. Anyways, this is just me trying to add some input on an already bullshit subject that should not exist if everyone would strive to become a better gamer as opposed to striving to get their rocks off as quickly as possible. -

You think that's weird, how about filling a mag then logging back in to have the mag no longer in the gun.

Rocket needs to chill with what he says on live streams. -
100man servers... my biggest fear has been realised.
strongtent replied to Cenobyte's topic in General Discussion
You also have to remember that some people don't even realize what the map looks like. I've run into new players, as well as players who have been playing a dozen hours or so and they have no idea where they are going, because there is no easily accessible map - something I think should be a top priority. It's not really a rare thing to find a map of your country, hell they should spawn at the schoolhouse or whatever. It's something that greatly adds to the realism and practicality of the game in my opinion. Most people I run into i just tell them to go to dayzdb.com -
A mother-fucker who wants something you got. In-game actions and of course vocal response clears a lot of this up, usually you can determine if a persons behavior is odd, then its up to your natural instinct what happens next.

You should be present for the 30 second logout because you may wish to cancel it if say - someone is stalking you, and going to kill you with the advance knowledge that you will be logging out.

What will the next update bring? Part 2 (No complaining, just daydreaming)
strongtent replied to DevilDog (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
More zombies and better framerate? -
Dude, there are 3 firearms in game currently, and like 4 Melee weapons. At this point, if you were to make what little is in the ALPHA already, spawn at a rarer rate - it would be more of a boring experience learning the game and testing it than we have currently. Just wait until the loot spawning system is properly done, then we can critique it; hell wait until we have more of a diverse arsenal. Get what I'm saying? Good.

do people actually want a complicated medical system?
strongtent replied to dgeesio's topic in General Discussion
There is nothing complicated about the medical system so long as you understand it and also understand that half the game isn't finished. If anything the UI and Action system is not great, (something Rocket has spoke about) and that leads to people not understanding certain features and effects in the game. All this is going to be fleshed out eventually, read around. -
I played a good amount of the mod, I like to think I have a good visual understanding of the map. But I always watch anyone I choose to approach, and usually get a pretty good read on said persons skill as a result of just watching. By chance, if I happen to run into another player by surprise or who is armed - I make sure If I am armed to have my weapon raised and vocalize to them my intentions. If they raise on me, they die. If they ignore me and act awkwardly, they die. If they talk in a fashion that is very repressed, they die...eventually. On my first day I helped a person learn how to give and receive blood with a first aid kit, I helped someone learn how to use the compass and as well, I gave them a drink from my canteen, which he returned; (that shows good faith) to which I then proceeded to allow him to keep. Everyone's different, everyone's learning.

Made it to Day 2 - after a tense encounter at NW Airfield. Luckily my Mosin got the drop on the bandit with the M4. Back to the coast.

Found a book: Russian Cheat Sheet.
strongtent replied to Ozelot (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I found "The Art of War" and "The Magna Carta" both useful. :) -
The main thing that sucks right now: The FPS
strongtent replied to Ozelot (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I get about 27 - 30 on Med - Low settings with Ambient Occlusion turned off, it was destroying my system. *Radeon HD 6670 / Quad-core 3.6 / 8Gigs / 1080P -
A man saw me looking at pants, tried to axe me, my motorcycle helmet stopped the blow and I ran away like a bitch because all I had was my flashlight and sweet rocket aviators. P.S. I later found a pistol and holster and killed what I assume was him and proceeded to steal his pants and then went unconscious because the text system sucks.
