Mental Constitution - Social/Survival Mechanic for Immersion
TheLastEmp replied to dubghall's topic in Suggestions
Very eloquent... try elaborating next time. I like where OP is headed with this... I just don't know if the effects of being anti-social and hyper aggressive (aka a bandit) should be as drastic or detrimental as you want them to be... Banditry and player battles are part of what makes the game great. There needs to be more incentive to try and team up or not shoot on sight, but i don't think excessive penalties for bandits is the right answer. -
Will zombies get a boost? (not numbers but health)
TheLastEmp replied to DevilDog (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
A lot of variables here to consider... I think they need to figure out exactly how many more zombies they can add in before they change anything with their health. You're absolutely right about the melee weapon damage though... anything but an ax seems pretty useless to me. I still envision there being enough zombies and scarce enough ammo that a one shot kill on them with any weapon is still going to be difficult in most situations. -
what got messed up in the last few days?!?
TheLastEmp replied to commanderbash's topic in General Discussion
I've experienced some of those same issues recently, only not quite as severe as your instances... -
Airfield loot ruins this game. Please Read
TheLastEmp replied to godless's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
. ^This^ in addition to the server hopping issue... I forget that some people are unaware of the massive influx and variety of loot that is still to come... Patience OP... -
This is temporary, wait until zombies are increased. As for the base building, I believe they are looking in to a barricading system. This means you will not be building a base from scratch, but will be finding the necessary ingredients to lock and board up an existing building. Build a stash/safe whatever, and lock that up too... There is still a lot of deabte over the most effective way to do this, but I know you wont be building from the ground up a la "Rust Style".

Airfield loot ruins this game. Please Read
TheLastEmp replied to godless's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
The loot is definitely not the issue. Server hopping is the real problem. This is difficult to mitigate in such a game and I trust in Rocket and Co,'s ability to work with the community to find the correct solution... For now, its just the alpha so there will be a year of playing around with different methods of handling this issue. Continue to ponder the issue, who knows, maybe you'll come up with the solution that will be implemented in the end. -
Keep em coming! love both of 'em!

So, I've been running DayZ and the mod on an: FX-4100 Bulldozer OC'd to 4.0Ghz and a GTX 660 Frames have been total shit in towns because, as I've come to learn, the AMD Bulldozer line was an utter fucking disaster. I was able to find a cheap Athlon X2 270 that I intend to throw in to my rig and OC to ~3.8Ghz I'm not sure if I'll see an improvement or not, but at the moment I'm betting I will. Anyone have any guesses or recommendations for another processor I should consider trying if the X2 Athlon doesn't give me any increase to FPS? currently getting around 14-17 frames in towns Any bets what my new FPS will be?

Athlon X2 270 Vs. FX-4100 Bulldozer: Taking bets
TheLastEmp replied to TheLastEmp's topic in General Discussion
This is why I'm nervous to drop the money on a new processor... I'll report back on Saturday when I plug in the X2... Hopefully that will give me an acceptable rate for now. -
Please elaborate. Any testing you can do? In the 10 hours I've been able to put in since release I haven't noticed anything wrong with the accuracy. Is it offset at a distance or just up close? etc...

"OooOOhh" - "That hurts..." Player groaning

"OooOOhh" - "That hurts..." Player groaning
TheLastEmp replied to Rednightjoe's topic in General Discussion
It's a place holder that's carried over from the mod, and will be replaced with something a little nicer in the future. If it is still happening after returning to full "blood/health" then it sounds like a small bug of some sort. -
Good stuff. Bumped for increased viewing.
-
Would be nice... and not very time consuming... Would appreciate!

Your expectations are unrealistic. I agree that fixing the "character save" function should be a top priority (and from what I've read I believe it is). However, it will be necessary for your character to be reset numerous times just from updates alone. You SHOULD NOT have any attachment to your character or your gear while a game is in an alpha stage. You're only setting yourself up for frustration and disappointment. The specific issue you're referencing will be fixed soon enough... but you should still give up that attachment to your character and gear.

Security Vulnerabilities fixed by Patch #2 and Character wipe
TheLastEmp replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
Lol, Such ignorance on these forums. That's not a description of republicans or democrats, it a description of narrow minded, uninformed, overly zealous voters who happen to occupy the democratic and republican parties equally... -
I just want to know if im headed towards death's door and if there's anything I can do to prevent it... My character seems to feel like throwing up a lot but never does as far as I can tell! For real though it's been immensely fun so far,... feeling pretty damn well geared and don't want to part with my first character just yet. :D
-
Awesome, can't wait to see more!

Why should I pay for a game with less features, when I can get a mod with more features for free?
TheLastEmp replied to gaelicwarlord's topic in New Player Discussion
To put it simply. It's an investment. -
Min. Requirements - will I be able to run Dayz standalone?
TheLastEmp replied to Spidey (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I'm currently running: AMD FX-4100 @4.0Ghz GTX 660 3GB and 8G of good ram But my frames are pretty shitty... Mainly because the AMD FX series is dogshit when is comes to older architecture games like DayZ. I literally just bought myself a used Athlon 3.4Ghz and I sincerely believe this will actually give me a BOOST to my FPS... I will report back on January second after I'm able to test it... I recommend a small overclock to you CPU and you should be fine... Jaxc is right... despite my only getting 15-25 frames the games still feels pretty smooth. Buy it. -
Low fps near towns and buildings
TheLastEmp replied to Conmasfra's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
The engine hates the AMD FX bulldozer series which I happen to own... Just be grateful you aren't at a constant sub-20 fps near any towns. AMD FX-4100 @ 3.8Ghz GTX 660 8Gb 1866 Ram 7200 rpm HD Windows 7 I get absolutely terrible frames... never been above 30. Looking to pick up a new 4300 piledriver series which I've heard are far and away better and should get me back up to acceptable frames. -
I was really worried about bugged textures with the ship, glad to know for sure that I should avoid it for a while :P
-
^This... This sounds like something rocket and Co. would attempt. I hope they do it.
-
restarts are every 4 hours, and they definitely seem to be staggered so they're not all restarting at the same time. I've had great success finding loot, partially luck. which is DayZ in a nutshell.
-
So AMD's newer processors just can't run the engine well it would seem... I heard some encouraging stuff about their new FX-4300 piledriver series... might pick one up for $100 on newegg.
