Why Whyherro was arguing was that in real life, when you're hiking more than about 30 pounds starts to hurt. The most I did hiking was across the Pennines with 70lbs and walked 16 miles. The Pennines are almost mountainous terrain, lots of up and down and the first leg is 16 miles and we were proper fucked after that day (best nights sleep ever though lol). Of course, we walked everywhere, there was no "jogging" - it never even crossed your mind to do something so dumb. 70lbs doesn't feel that heavy for the first hour or two....

Hey they're a good server so I don't mind shamelessly plugging them (and I want a 1st pp server so we need more players lol)
-
Oh you mean they took it away and now everyone is still playing it???? :o :o :o

We're talking about game mechanics here, no how quick it takes in RL and YOU may be able to do it in 10 seconds but most people would take a lot longer than 30. But we could just make them all the same time making the can opener an entirely worthless inventory item. :)

Don't get caught up on gear. -------------- tl;dr - I found a 75 drum mag so I went looking for a AKM - found a blaze and I was happy. Then I found a repeater and was happier still (My favorite gun in game :)) Then I found a SKM and was happier as I wanted more firepower and then I found an AK that took the wrong rounds but it wasn't long before I passed a hooker in a bikini firing off rounds at water melons and she gave it to me and something else too! *scratches* I also found a "damaged" PSO scope that is as good to look through as a pristine one and another 3 mags of 30 so i'm good. If I can't hit a guy with 75 rounds I don't deserve the gun but it's sure nice to have the extra ammo. Guns like the M4 or Aug I don't care about because they're almost none existent. So none existent that to me, they don't practically exist and I'm not going to spend hours looking for one. I just take whatever comes my way.

There's tons of hackers in Chivalry - they're literally on every server and almost every player's doing it except the archers I think....

You can't light a fire on anything but flat ground!

I suspect most people that played the mod played in 1pp and never had an issue with it and didn't even know 3pp existed. Nobody seemed to have an issue when they thought only 1pp existed. DayZ devs really need to add in the Arma 3 move system. How could they not want to put it in a game that screams for it! I suspect they don't really play the game.
-
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! :) That would be horrible and is just a player radar then. Someone suggested being able to do nothing in 3pp except look at your av and delay the switch between the 2 views. Quite a weird concept right? People want to be IN a zombie apocalypse and yet want a disembodied view - except they don't really because in game like Dying Light, they're quite happy to be in 1pp so I don't understand where their point is.

Primitive equipment: possibilities and such

Just remember to make a note of Whyherro's address when the shit hits the fan, folks ;) -
If you want to get into your back pack, your back pack should have to be placed on the ground. I mean in rl I've tried rummaging and flailing my arms behind me but I just end up looking like a loon and the shop assistant is calling the police.
-
Really? You go hiking in the afghani mountains with a full pack, ammo, chest plates, radio, webbing. Take a few pictures along the way too no doubt and those high mountainous areas with the lack of breathable air..... Patrols move slowly and there's no sprinting or running like we do in DayZ - not unless you want broken ankles.

DayZ Dev hints at possible DX 12 Engine, are you all willing to wait? I know I am
Jex replied to john5220's topic in General Discussion
I suspect BF3 doesn't have quite the draw distance that DayZ has. Also, most things in DayZ are actual objects, not phantom bushes for example. Don't know if BF3 have phantom bushes but they're in H1Z1 - you can walk right through them and cities in DayZ have quite a few more objects in them than anything in BF which all add up and the fact that BF3 is released already and optimised, unlike DayZ :) -
Survivor Games were a perfect example of run speed too fast/state of pvp
Jex replied to Bororm's topic in General Discussion
LOL only the other day my friend and I were running north and were discussing just that. Bicycles are almost the perfect transport for DayZ - the perfect one being on foot. -
Really? I tried using a stone on a blade well after 48 and it didn't work - I was probably trying it on a knife and thought, wrongly, that if it didn't work on a metal edge shaped differently, why would it work on another metal edge of the right shape lol.
-
Can you use stones to sharpen axes now? Burlap sacks were stackable a patch or two ago as well, weren't they?

Jex replied to john5220's topic in General Discussion
That's weird.I have a new i5 but only a gtx570, 8gb ram and an SSD and I've been through electro a few times and run fine. Your card is better, not sure if you have an old or new i7 but still, I would have though you should get at least the same if not better. I wonder what's causing it then? -
WTF - ur lunch costs you 29 fucking dollars? I'll do it for 25.

No, the issue isn't that they have no idea about game development. The issue is that they have no idea about game development but think they know about game development. Sorry mate but you're going to be disappointed - stupid, lazy people are going to always be around talking about things they know nothing about and then thinking their opinion is worth something because they can log into a web forum and..... oooh :huh: hehehehe ;)
-
Yes I agree, if I play on 3pp I will use the magic eye and play differently and both are completely different styles of play - I just think people are losing out on the thrill and immersion of 1pp encounters because your view is more restricted which makes you feel more vulnerable. Dyslexci (however you spell it) made a good video pointing out the differences.

In the mod, you couldn't sprint everywhere and it was never an issue so no, slowing people down is not going to make a difference as it was never an issue before. That's the logical answer - now the actual answer is people will whine and bitch about it because the devs put something in they never should have. Taking things away causes more crap than putting things in but why bother with 40 years worth of gaming knowledge and psychology and ignore all of that and just bung it in anyway. The whole movement speeds thing is fucking childish and ridiculous in most games. Spinning 360 in 0.01 of a second, really? Running at olympic speeds with full gear on, really? Try doing that with full webbing, rifle, ammo and bergen and see how far you get. The whole mechanic has been an ill thought out joke from lazy dezs. Taking it to the nth, will games in the future have us running so fast so we can almost instantly get to any point on the map that FPS's will literally become nothing but whack-a-mole as players bob up almost instantly in different cover spots simply because they're too impatient to run - fuck those guys. Truns speeds should be limited full stop. If I have a M107 in my hands, I'm going to move 10 times as slowly as when I have a pistol in my hand. I cannot zig and zag at a sprint like I can in DayZ - what a fucking joke but everyone is doing it and they're doing it for bad reasons. Let's hope we see some serious thought on the whole aspect of movement, not forgetting in DayZ we can turn our heads quickly all the time but not so much out hands. -
Interesting - can you go into more detail on how you think it should be modeled?

All he said was stop - you, however, have a huge chip on your shoulder.

But he actually meant 31-43% but he didn't want to be pedantic.
