Standalone Discussion/Critique from an Old DayZ Fan.
Jex replied to TOPMO3's topic in General Discussion
If I turn the lights off in my room and switch on a torch, I can see the whole room lit up albeit not very well but a damn sight more than dayz. Using a torch in dayz inside a building is nauseating and why doesn't the head torch follow where I look? It's like I can look over my shoulder in 1st pp but if you look at ur av, his head stops well before where you can look does. -
I must be playing a different game or doing something different. I had 7 zombies on me in electro yesterday where I spawned (I didn't die, game just decided to respawn me and loose all my gear, twice that has happened in 3 days now). I had a shovel and at around 7 fps it took me forever to kill them. It started with 3, I killed those and then 2 more would show up then another 2 and then I was done. Everywhere I've killed zeds (which has been with a melee weapon) I've killed a few and got on with my day - I'm not having an issue with them - what's going on??
-
I ran up a little ramp yesterday into a building. The zed ran through the ramp and was halfway in the floor of the building - useless zombie.

So yesterday my mate is waiting for me to catch up and get to Balota so he's in the jail building next to the ATC for about 20 minutes before our other friend shows up and joins him in the upstairs corridor. With his arrival, he goes afk as he needs to use the toilet. Not a minute later and my mate who's guarding him starts telling me he's getting shot at and thinks our other friend is down. I can't do anything I'm a klick away. So as our mate is afk, and he's taking rounds and bleeding, wondering where the hell the shooting is coming from, he disconnects and logs into another server and manages to bandage himself up. I make it there, check the building they were in, no bodies, check all the buildings and he's nowhere around. So I go back and check where they were and unless the guy climbed a tree, I couldn't see where you could get shot from leading me to suspect someone glitched through like a cheating little prick. So rather than update the map with new things, wouldn't it be more prudent to fix the object clipping on what's already in there? I thought I heard the recent update addressed some of this seeing through buildings but obviously not this building.

I used to go pot holing (or caving if you like) a few times and one thing you did before you ventured further was to switch off your head lamps and sit in the pitch black for 15 minutes. Pitch black IS black - you cannot see a thing and you'll never see a thing. After 15 minutes though, you turn on your lights and the room (lol room? cave...) was lit up twice as bright as before. In other words, letting your eyes adjust to total darkness and making them more sensitive and then turning on your lamps made a huge difference in what you could see and how much light there was to how little light there was before. Everything is too dark and it's a bit like playing looking through a toilet roll at night. If I go into a building, I'm not going to see a circle of light and that's it. The light source is going to illuminate the entire room i'm in, focusing the most light in the torch beam but in dayz, the light particles literally freeze at the point they hit. -
Oh you can tell by playing the game can you. here let's try something....
-
Unless you didn't realise, it's called a game and there's nothing manly about it. In fact, it's quite the opposite of being a man since ur a geek sat behind a computer screen playing at being a man. So what would your plan be einstein? How would to beat the invisible and invincible shooter that can see through walls? Had it been you he would be picking the gear off your dead body.
-
What a stupid reply. Did you think about what you were going to write before you wrote it? One, it's irrelevant that he went afk (presumably you sit on a potty when you play do you?) and 2 are you saying you like sucking up to cheaters by letting them get away with what they do? Fighting your way out of where exactly? To the invisible invincible player herp derp? What exactly were they meant to fight? Come on oh brilliant Dayz player let's hear your words of wisdom here.

Anybody els getting "Confirmation of changes"
Jex replied to [Outcasts]Massacre's topic in General Discussion
It's just a script error or something. You get them all the time in arma missions so just ignore it. Once you ok it it shouldn't come back again until u reload the game. -
For PC and Occulus Rift only I see. Looks pretty good, maybe you need to build a fortress to keep them out and place traps everywhere.
-
Minecraft in 1PP?
-
Anyone else experiencing teleporting players in combat?
Jex replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
If it only happens close in and not far out, wouldn't this be a glitch? -
No I mean a 7 hour day total so the times rotate as you play so each day isn't the same time if you play at the same time. That way you get to experience all the different times of day if you're on the same server all the time :)
-
Anyone who doesn't wait for the Division to be released and for the reviews to come in is a dumbass. There's a rush to get a new game why exactly?
-
Zombie problems? why not turn them to your advantage
Jex replied to MrMike_1981's topic in General Discussion
You're only allowed to have a train of zombies following you if you're playing the benny hill music over local -
Try a day server?
-
Yeah can openers aren't that hard to find and with the abundance of food, loosing 50% is no big deal either. Just eat everything you find and drink from every pond you come across.
-
Well done for failing to use your brain. Don't run out into a field when u only need to climb a handful of steps that are closer to you. truly amazing!
-
7 hour days, 2 hours for night, 5 for daylight, 15 minutes twilight either side, done.
-
Zombies spawn in towns. Towns have stairs.
-
There are a few rules where it's KOS and that's 1) if you run around a corner practically bumping into another player and they have a weapon out. 2) at any airfield or military base At any other time we'll mostly ignore other players we see moving around. We will engage anyone we see with a sniper rifle on a hill and shooting at people. Sometimes we'll try and make people surrender but then will shoot if they act aggressively. We won't murder people just for the sake of it.
-
They're called stairs - try walking up them.
-
Seriously they're moaning about zombies already? I didn't even notice any difference when I was at Balota. Climb the stairs dumbass!! So they run around getting hit when the ultimate get away is to hop up a few steps? I hope they make the zombies one hit kill everyone now.
-
Well this is the issue in that when u try and be friendly, you get a face full of lead. I lost count the amount of times I got killed for just saying "Hello mate how you doing?" indicating i'm friendly. Or standing watching some guys loot a store for a minute before I say "Hello" and they shit their pants and gun me down so yeah, I'm not surprised you shoot anyone with a gun.
