DeathBySausage

I was just talking to a friend about dayz and how I set up camps with some tents and fencing...he pointed ouy how cool it would be to have enterable caves in the game. I personally think it would be really cool to put a few tents in a small cave and fence it off...what do you all think?

I really wanted to take over one of the castle towers I think putting a tent on the middle level and then fencing off the entrance and making it enterable by heli only but you cant place items inside...will this be the same in SA? I know there is tons of info on SA but couldnt find this specificly.

Nice I recently started playing on an epoch server didnt know that would work....still trying to get all the features down

Sweet thanks...is it just safes or would my tent/wire idea work on a epoch server?

Oh im sure others have brought it up and yeah excatly how you described would rock....hard to locate cause small entrace but worth it

Or if you where to like wall off a house out in the middle of no where and put a tent inside for your storage

I dont know if this is something they could implement in SA or maybe you could create custome buildings look like hills and function as caves...I know nothing about that stuff lol

I also think that have a lot of small or medium caves with a couple large could really add to the emersion of the world....right now the only reason to explore the wilderness is to find a place to hide gear, this could give a whole new reason to explore the world

Yes on a basic server finding supplies and roaming around is about it although in doing so you can have some amazingly fun adventures (close zombie calls or player interaction) I would also urge you to find someone you can play with as yhe game is much more fun imo when played with at least a partner. Also you can consider other mods like epoch or origins which offer things like base building and economy for trade with npcs. But those I would hold off on until you really get the normal mod survival down

I know sa will have cool new stuff like the architecture and some visual upgrades and better inventory. ...however with mods like origins and epoch and now better visuals with arma 3 dayz I feel like SA is doomed to failure because he is wanting to keep it so much like bland dayz with only small features that are made to look huge....what I mean by that is yes the new invintory is a big deal to me cause I hate current one but that isnt going to add hours of playability. ...yes there are new buildings to search but all that adds is instead of walking into a you walk into b....the only way sa is going to make it is if they move forward not just regurgitate the same tired crap....to me sa has a lot of good things to it but with all these mods with better features and other zombie games coming out I feel sa is doomed

Are there any autherized mods that I can install to give the game.better graphics...I have everything maxed but I know a lot of games have extra packages you can dl that apply better textures and what not. Only lookingfor things that are well known and wont get me banned.

And they have released a dlc for it that gives near photo realostic graphics

I have yet to play a game on it that I couldn't run with max graphics smoothly

Amd phenom II x6 1100t 3.3ghz 8gb ddr3 Amd radeon hd 6900 im pretty sure its 2gb card

Lol at work let me remote in and get specs

Excellent this was excatly the info I needed...thanks

Lol this I am aware of thats why im looking for only reputable sources that I could verify by other searches and not clicking links and installing 3rd party junk

Im wanting to get back into dayz...I have only really played the normal mod however I really like the house and base building of origins and the vendors and trade of epoch....if anyone has a server they recomend that mixes these features that would rock...I would like to join a small group of people I do help people mostly but would like to join a group who also robs and kills as these are fun parts of the game.....looking for group prefer age 20+ P.s. Im in america central time and I usually play at night 8-12ish and during day on weekend

Also when I talk about base building servers I mean all in game stuff not a server where admin will set in a custom base for you

Hi im reading on some of the other mods to try and add new flavor and the epoch mod seems like it has a lot of cool features. Just trying to get opinions on it also if there are any servers your recomend with it on there (epoch with random wasteland style missions would rock) I would apreciate info

I cant point you directly to it but I did read a post and if im not mistaken defibrillators where confirmed so this may be doing what your speaking of...I dont know where the original came from but someone replied in my post "please direct me" with that info

I know Dean had said that story and quest lines where out for SA as he wanted people to create their own stories, however what do you all think about random objective based missions you can choose to do and get rewarded or ignore and go on with surviving. Similar to wasteland servers I have played on but more zombieish. This way you are free to make your own story but once you reach the point of having a surplus of supplies and nothing to do there is still content other than wandering around for no reason (which why I would do that in a real survival scenario is beyond me)

Yeah thats excatly what im thinking. I dont know about others but after I got into a group and we had several cars and tents full of supplies thst could last for a while we ran out of any reason to play...we helped others as we could and I would on ocassion get into some pvp but I fealt like there was nothing to play for other than driving around for no real reason

Also with the new radio addition and the different stations they could easily incorporate that into a mission system by having "survivor x radio" giving out usefull info to other survivor's

This is true they would camp the spots....I wonder how difficult it would be to have the missions be handed out per player....and im not talking big elaborate missions I mean simple things like go to x kill some ai bandit survivor's and get some loot...or a mission could pop up telling you of a small stockpile of supplies but there is a zombie horde to deal with to get it...stuff like that. I think this could add a lot more to the game without taking anything away (at least I dont see the downside)
