Azrail (DayZ)

i only overlooked most of the first page and already want to eat all of you. kids will be kidding............ bandits killing unarmed players don't have any survival benefits either. yet it is a very serious threat and part of the game. this is a SANDBOX game. you should be able to do anything you like. they said something similiar about implementing melee into dayz and being able to fly to the moon....

Right now we have reasonable (if not to much) spawn of animals, i think this is how it should be during summer. In fall it needs to go down, in winter even more down, and in spring start to raise again, reaching peak in summer. I think this is how it goes in nature, not? i'm not a fauna prof here :D Mind you, the seasons all need their trade off's, so they all have their pro's and contra's. winter is a special exception for all the dm kiddies :D My cycle was only a mere thought, not even really took the balancing into account. then again, rocket said there is no balancing in dayz, so :D I want to add, more suggestions are always welcome. i will try to incorporate them into the OP. Bring it on!

i think with arma 3 they might reconsider the way things are rendered in arma (right now, most of everything looks really stupid if set to low/normal settings, maybe im just spoiled by bf3 and the like :D)

let me guess, sniper camping hotspots

dayz is too easy as it is right now. right now i tend to hold me a pet zed while running across the map, because they are so cute :D i also demand scary shit to happen, like a bear spawning infront of me, so i have to fight for my life in the supposedly save woods.

Tents are working perfectly fine for us after patch 1.7.2.something Only one tent's contents lost just few days ago, because it bugged into a hill and got moved back out upon server restart. My fault, should have repitched in a better place. If your tents get raided, your spot probably isn't the best. I just move up along the west border for like 15 minutes and am fully equiped. Some people just designate themselves to scout for camps, doesn't need a hack for that. Also, if all contents are gone and the tents still standing, i would rather guess it was the server wipe/bug/patch eating your stuffs.

i play for more then a month, and i yet have to see one hacker in dayz. i play on popular servers, empty servers, night servers, day servers, regular, veteran, expert, old patch servers, newest patch servers, DE/UK/FR/LU/RU/US i am missing out :(

first and foremost, DE10 ftw - best server out there. best admin as well. i will donate as soon as i can spare a few bucks. if you play there, you should do so too! so some weeks ago on DE10, on patch 1.7.1.5, i found a tent city with 14 tents in one straight row, obviously duped. every single tent filled to the max with all sorts of absolute endgame material. an endless supply of as50, l85, gps, nvg, rangefinder, ghillie suits, every possible car part, looked like a base camp for a duping/hacking clan. few days later not much of it was left. it wasn't in the most clever spot on the map D: anyways, yesterday at NWA, around 9PM GMT+2, we had hostile contact with at least about 10 different players, presumably all from the same group/clan. one guy was riding his bike across the airfield, likely in hope to draw some fire. we killed 7 of them, they killed 6 of us. over a span of like one hour, maybe less. all fine and dandy. our remaining two guys made their hold out in the warehouse close to one of the baracks, when suddenly one sniper spawned inside, he got a free teleport to the coast. they had the advantage, with all their gear, menpower and experience (half of our group hasn't been in a fight like that yet) we were under siege and our position was weakened with every guy we lost. still they had to ghost to win, and failed. our guys just left the server at that time, no point in fighting cheaters. we got more kills anyways, and most of us already reequiped, in my book it is our win. who cares anyways. the experience was more then worth it. but most interestingly, and here comes the punchline, why i post all this. all of them but one or two wore ghillie suits and most of them had either as50 or l85. coincidence? given the ultra rare spawn of these weapons, i found it rather odd to meet such a large group with this equip on the same server where we found these tents... i have a screenshot of players that were on at that time, only one clan tag found... they say you always meet twice :> then again, maybe it was in fact coincidence, or we encountered two different groups at once, or your guns were in fact legit and the ghoster was just a server hopper, who knows. no harsh feelings, just wanted to share. maybe someone can reply here and clear some things up :D

the tents had slightly different contents each. but duping is duping, doesn't matter how. and its not the mod's fault, its the engine and the people abusing its flaws.

reward for dying is a free teleport to the coast, people need to appreciate that they in fact CAN respawn. rewards for dying as in free items - simply run through cherno / elektro and let bandits kill you until you get a free weapon of choice, without any effort. no, thanks.

2nd that, hopefully with a fair fight next time. i died 2nd so recording didn't show much :( maybe next fight. your server provides the best opponents \o/

i care. and so i take it, you ran into your own beartrap? because that would be epic xD also, thats not the way alpha works in dayz. adapt or gtfo. it was a simple question, and if you look carefully, its been a few month old from the very start of it all. simply a way to estimate where they might come out at the end. you do know rocket needs money to fund all this? right now he doesn't get a single pence. if you cared enough to read a little bit in here, rocket is far from being greedy about commercial profit. its alpha bro

what?

200 murders? i think you've been trolled (pics or didn't happen) nice story anyways.

i want chernarus but 1000x the size so i can run in the same direction for dayz and never reach the end of the world.

is this your mod or how do you know what they need? maybe we should stick to our job, which is testing stuff, and let them do their job, which is making decissions and coding stuff. and maybe we can get something out of this at the end.

dayz is not about fun, or hanging out, having a good time at the beach or so (well you can try :D) dayz is about challange, totally unique experience upon every spawn/login/encounter, immersion, emotions! i actually consider it way to easy once you learn how to deal with the annoying parts. i expect the challange to raise a good bit when shit goes real, but that will take a while. bearing in mind rocket is busy goofing around with all sorts of stuff to add, thats totally fine. if that doesnt work for you, consider to stick to something else, dayz will make you pull your hair out, i speak from experience :D there is always arma 2 and the countless other mods you can play, there is so much more to arma 2 then just dayz. i suggest go explore a bit and see what works for you.

sell half of your RAM and with that money buy dxtory (best gaming video capture ever)

i love this video for the random madness :D everyone handles stress differently. if you have to vent your stress over voice so be it, don't let them fuckers tell you off on it, as long as your team is ok with it xD once you get experience in fights like this you will learn to calm more. @all the duping police offices - if you are so mad at this guy for refilling his dmr mags, do you always throw away your ammo that gets refilled upon login? the grenade exploit clearly wasn't intentional, who would do that ON PURPOSE and just upload it to youtube? lets give him some props for an intense 1vs5.

no...

i did and now we kill everything that lives 8)

i consider different maps for dayz on arma 2 highly unlikely at this stage in development. chernarus is good enough for now.

Alpha

no, no. no. if i read threads like this something inside me dies. we already have a class system in dayz RIGHT NOW. get med supply and play medic. get a car and be a driver for your group. get an idea of what you want to do in dayz and go do it. you don't need a class system telling you what you need/can use/have to use to do it. you/your team leader is the class system.
