  1. No, choice is not always a good thing.
  2. I doubt it will make a difference. It will stand out as a big green square in a forest from the air because of the way the rendering happens. Forests are see through from the air. Didn't know they added tents so thanks for that :)
  3. It also says in a round about way that the thread didn't even need creating as the answers were in the video the OP posted lol
  4. This is the whole point of the game - you wake up and there's zombies everywhere. You washed up on shore maybe and don't know the land you're in so....explore and survive - this is the point of the game. I would also caution the use of crutches as suggested by other players (i.e. don't use the waypoint marker on the map (which in fact only works on certain servers anyway)), just try to work it out for yourself like we all had to :)
  5. Dayz Commander will help you download all of those, for DayZero, you will need Dayzero launcher. Join a whitelist server, public servers still have hackers.

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    That's how it used to work but brought your blood down to 6000 I think. Bringing it down further would be better to maybe the level where you start passing out from time to time? I still propose zeds killing you if you get infected but not with the way the AI currently works. If they could fix that (and unfortunately I don't think they can) then the zeds would be a major threat. Failing that, some other mechanic needs to be introduced - perhaps make them hit hard and every hit causes you to bleed but at the same time, reduce their vision so we can sneak passed them.

    Yes you are right, but then you should be telling him also shouldn't you in the interest of fairness? Or is it ok to put words into other peoples mouths on these forums?
  8. Actually he is at fault for aggravating the situation deliberately and should be dealt with by the forum mods. When people consistently ignore other peoples arguments or use circular logic, the mods should tell them they can't participate in the conversation anymore for the sake of the sanity of the reasonable people trying to explain it to them again over and over.
  9. Maybe they should put mirrors in to the game - you know like, in a bedroom or something for the vanity of certain players here? ;)
  10. The issue comes from having to repeat the answers over and over again to a few people here that are unable to understand them, or deliberately choose not to.
  11. OK just as I thought you're being a dick about things now. Well done for showing the entire forum here that you're either stupid or a complete troll. For a start, you can see through bushes though you seem to want to be able to see through them more? You have no argument, you keep asking people the same questions showing that after repeated attempts to explain things to you, you STILL don't get it. I now hope that for people like you 3rd person is completely ruined and you end up not playing the game. I'd prefer if your type went off to play something else..
  12. !!!!!PLACEHOLDERS!!!!! In "Light Salmon" Jeez didn't you bother to listen to what he said "The damage output from the guns has been hugely increased" - guess what that will do to an item. Or did you expect him to shoot the jacket 30 times?

    DayZero Thoughts

    I donated to BMRF - I got a skin and that was it but donated more because I play almost exclusively on their servers and they always seem to have admins on their IRC channel. If anyone thinks they're making money here I seriously doubt it and it doesn't need to cost much to host your own servers either.
  14. Hey if it generates more sales great - NOT at the expense of the PC version though.

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    I've been playing dayz since may last year, shortly after it's release. I've heard the devs say things shouldn't be happening with the code when they do happen so we'll see. I'll update tonight, I'm eager to see how it plays out - the infection thing killed this mod for me but if I can now effectively sneak around and have more tools to fight it then it's not so bad. What I hated was getting infected and then never finding AB's or finding them only to have a friend then get infected - the thought of another 10 hour search is just too much at that point. Other than that, the other stuff they're adding in looks great - I love the traps for one so looking forwrad to trying it all out tonight.

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    Then it's not a 1% chance - I think he missed off the 00's off the end ;)

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    The issue comes when your travels get your mate infected too, then u find ab's, fix yourself up and one little slip (as in a zed hitting you through a wall or running through a wall to hit you) and you're infected again and another 3 days of looking for antibiotics. You might enjoy that but most people don't and can't be arsed to roam the map for days looking for one item. The first time infection was added back in, the infection that will eventually kill you, everyone was running off into the woods and suiciding then running to collect their gear off their body - that is a majorly broken mechanic.

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    That would be ideal in a world where the A.I. weren't some super guys that can walk through walls and see you from hundreds of meters or hit you from 10 feet away. They may be programmed to take 2 steps and hit you but I bet in reality it doesn't look like that. Because the zeds absolutely suck in this game you can't sneak around them. If you could and all the other bugs were fixed I'd completely support a "one hit and your dead" mechanic.

    DayZ 1.8 Update

    That's only any good if the wipes aren't as rare as antibiotics.
  20. I like the traps but infection kills it for me.

    WTF are you stupid or something?? I played some deathmatch zombie shit mod? Oh really did I? And which one would that be pray tell? More like, I need to support my dumbass argument and make up shit. You a fucking liar sir and should be ashamed of yourself! Let me make the point that you missed a little clearer - games that have a mechanic in them that just kill you where you have no chance to avoid death are shitty ass games - most people know and accept that.
  22. Raven Shield had a great system. You held down shift and then the mouse movements would make you raise or lower or lean so you had absolute control over it and was very smooth - this is the system games should employ. Arma 3's system is much better but still a little clumsy (but remapping some keys can make this better for you). Point is is good enough for a game and you're starting to sound like one of those people that when a solution is given, you always say " Yes but if only..."
  23. OK so what you've just argued is that for the irritating component of Dayz and the least lethal are the things you need to look out for - the zombies is why you need 3rd person and yet it's is 3rd person that makes it more dangerous for you from other players on a huge scale. Zombies rarely cause anyone death, it's other players and you want to give them an advantage over killing you? Very strange.
  24. Well if they use the Arma 3 system then you have 9 or 10 different stances and you can do all the peeking you need. So now that they have a system in place for that that might go into the SA ( can anyone confirm this) then we're good, aren't we?
