It'd be ludicrous to think there WONT be a functioning train
autoloon posted a topic in General Discussion
From a design perspective, it'd be absolutely pointless to tie up Ivan with the task of closing the loop of the train tracks to nowhere of Chernarus past if there was no larger plan in mind. Imagine if GTA V had a circular train loop and no functional train. Doesn't make much sense, does it? I do think it is a very late development feature that might even be added in beta, and will not be mentioned for a good long time. But choo choo! It's on the way for sure IMO. Thoughts? -
DayZ is NOT fun for new players, which makes me worried.
autoloon replied to Murakamo's topic in General Discussion
The best way to help a friend who is new to DayZ is to explain to him very frankly that you aren't going to let him get you killed and lose all your stuff, but that you will meet him in two hours at Green Mountain if he can make it there. -
NEAF is the best place for action and has been for a while. I almost always encounter at least two skilled non-loggers when I am in that area.

I can't be bothered to plug in my headset sometimes and people die. What category is that?

It'd be ludicrous to think there WONT be a functioning train
autoloon replied to autoloon's topic in General Discussion
As I see it, the main flaw in the anti-train argument is that it assumes most people are not willing to fumble around and fuck it up for countless hours trying to figure out how to start the train. It's honestly just the kind of daunting, group-minded endeavor that could give us a reason to band together. Don't dismiss it cause "it's too hard." -

One thing that would be very interesting is if you had to find a manual to work out the protocols for the locomotive to get it started, and what it needs to get going. -
I killed a guy in Elektro fire house as a fresh spawn with just a wood axe. He was pretty well geared, had an M4 with some pristine parts. He had two ammo boxes, one full of 7.62, one full of 5.56. Thing is, he didn't have a single magazine on him. He just had the M4 and like 200 rounds of ammo in a box. Weird.

The fact of the matter is pitch black is unacceptable. A cursory glance at server populations verifies this. If they roll out server hopping countermeasures before they either fix the unacceptable night time or at least make the world times reliably accurate, there will be a shitstorm.

do you even check the threads Rocket makes?

In summary, the thesis is the bread of the essay sandwich and the paragraph is the knife.

As my friend is a complete scrub and shoots me in the belly literally every time we play, I can confirm that you can't trust anyone, not even a close friend or family member.

I am on Team Unplayable. We have decent enough night vision at night in real life. Immersion be damned, it should never be darker than full moon in the mod or dusk in the SA. That's plentyy dark enough. No matter how dark it is you will never have a 2D zero contrast darkness.

1. We have all noticed that zombies have better path finding now, correct? 2. We all know this hasn't been mentioned in any patch, right? 3. Also, there are slightly more zombies than before. 4. This kind of zombie update is really cool and should continue, can you dig it? Sign if you think all zombie updates should be behind the scenes and take us by surprise :D EDIT: if they come correctly at a system like that for tweaking zombie AI, it will feel like over time the zombie apocalypse becomes worse.

Welp, I guess I only get to play DayZ on Saturday now until they fix the shitty night time.
-
Haha so I logged in after patch and my dead character is resurrected.
-
I always 'retire' my characters prior to new patches so I do not encounter this problem. Also, 99% of the fun in DayZ occurs between spawn and endgame.

I was thinking about the improvised explosives that should be coming along somewhere down the line and was wondering if time bombs should be able to be activated while still in your bag. That way, if you die and your killer goes to loot you, they will die an explosive death instead if not cautious. What do you think of this?
-
If your killer dies in the blast you can come back and loot what's left...or you can just blast your gear to ruin it. Just cause you don't see the possible uses doesn't mean they aren't obvious.
-
I played for 20 hours without realizing I could load more than one bullet. It's not really a huge deal for me if this is intended.
-
NO Because nobody wants to do that and there is no point in doing that without zombies. If you want to walk around and do nothing, plenty of great games for it. Try Minecraft? It's one of the best games ever if you literally want to do nothing. Not saying there isn't stuff to do in Minecraft, but if you NEED to do NOTHING, it's probably a much better fit for you than DayZ.

After wipe, I spawned into some smaller inland town with many farm buildings. I bandaged a wounded bambi who seemed indifferent, and watched another give himself to the zombies. Everywhere the remains of the dead. I found a Mosin, cargo pants, pristine motorcycle helmet, fire axe, green hoodie and 25 slot backpack as well as enough food and drink for a long hike. EDIT: oh yeah and CAN OPENER Everyone else gave up. No one even tried to kill me.

My Character is Obese and has Diabeetus...

i7 3970x @ 4.20 EVGA GTX 780 OC 16bg Corsair Vengeance Game is run off 128gb Corsair SSD For the following, all settings less post processing are at absolute max levels across the board. 60fps (monitor refresh rate is the bottleneck here) fluid on <50 ping servers. 45fps with FRAPS running. So basically same I get with the mod, with Standalone being generally more stable. One issue is that the game crashes randomly if I am using Skype. I am sure some players would love that 'feature' but would love to hear from anyone else who has had that problem and found a solution.

Rolling Changelog: Stable Branch: 0.32.114557
autoloon replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
I would really like to know if Shotgun can select fire to blow both barrels at once. -
Rule #1: If you are in a squad or just with your mates, I am sorry but I have to kill you all if our paths cross.
