Azrail (DayZ) replied to Dogar's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting

Would it be worth playing Arma2 for the experience?
Azrail (DayZ) replied to cragzeek's topic in New Player Discussion
i would suggest to try out the different guns available in the map editor. spawn a few targets, spawn a gun of choice (lookup dayz loot cheat sheet on google, and see arma wiki for initialisation commands) and see which one you like the most. if you want to snipe, definetly try the different sniper guns and see how they work, with zeroing and mildots, bullet drop, impact velocity etc. it really pays off knowing all this when you have to use that knowledge in a dayz operation with a skilled group, and i will bet a skilled sniper is always welcome in groups lfp. i think the l85 is the most imba weapon in this game. but i actually prefer akm or m14 for general purpose, because they pack a punch. -
dont use 3rd person in first place. if you are a honest player, aiming for competitive play, it really is not what you want, trust me. but if you want to cheat, go all for it.

Out of bounds item/vehicles cleanup [2012-07-06]
Azrail (DayZ) replied to Ander (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Announcements & Info
you can' date=' but you shouldn't. call it a cheat, exploit, i don't care. you break a rule. if you hide your stuff off the map, its quite easy for you to remember the coordinates and find back there with gps. someone not knowing the coordinates won't really go through whole wilderness and check for tents. so following your philosophy, you can in fact put your tent in a real save spot. perma-death means loosing your gear and start from scratch. if you can re-equip yourself right after spawn, perma-death has no point in the first place. Not sure what the rules for gameplay have to do with development now. The game is in development, but we are playing it, so there still need to be rules to be followed, so things won't get out of hand. I will leave you alone with that now. -

Out of bounds item/vehicles cleanup [2012-07-06]
Azrail (DayZ) replied to Ander (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Announcements & Info
you are clearly not meant to camp off the map. the map has a border for a reason. going off the map to hide your stuff from others is effectively making your stuff 'save' when it shouldn't be. keeping items safe from others is contradicting the idea of perma death, defeating the whole point of this mod. that's common sense now, isn't it? so, building a camp of the map can be considered breaking a rule, like cheating. there is this set of rules you need to follow, there is no exceptions like "but my tent is just behind the hill close to the border" you have to draw a line for everyone not to step over, and in this case the map border literally is said line. you can consider yourself lucky you won't be banned for it. or maybe you will o.O -

\o/ now the carebears have to clutter the border even more. easy equip for free, i like :D -
you don't share stuff with random people in a zombie apocalypse. and see it as an advantage! just pick a popular server and run up the west border, you will find enough cars and tents to equip a group, even now as most tents are wiped on every server restart (some few tents seem to be immune to restarts). works for me everytime :D

DayZ Wiki and allowed weapons / equipment
Azrail (DayZ) replied to memphisbelle's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
maybe you should read the thread you post in. before you post. it was said the wiki is not listing all weapons, as there are still weapons noone has found yet... not sure how relieable this information is. -
Video: How is he still alive!!!?
Azrail (DayZ) replied to Freckelz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
yea, some sloppy action there, also some misfortune, but nothing wrong with learning from your mistakes. if you die at NW airfield, its a worthy death. but picking on people and telling them how bad they are isn't really the kind way. the last shots fired by the guy on the ground should have definetly killed a player, guess it was just lag - some really really lucky guy there. something similiar just happend to me, i shot a female named sof, running from zed's, and then i spot another player going prone between us. i first thought he was from my group comming to my aid, because of the ghillie suit, i was slightly confused... but he dc'ed instant and came back on a few seconds later. i gave him a clean headshot, but there is no corpse. so he dc'ed again. i go to the female corpse to loot, and pick a can of pasta from her pack, when she suddenly starts to move - i freaked out quite a bit and there was an awkward moment when my char took like 5 seconds to switch to the pistol, then i put a whole mag from my m1911 into her, for good measure. now i also hear the flies - silly me, if you kill something, make sure its dead! well, i stay near position to see if the ghillie suit makes a return, and i think its a good 15 minutes when i see the female corpse moving AGAIN. i guess she dc'ed quick enough so the death wasn't saved. she remains prone, turning around, i shoot, she drops. then she starts bandaging herself, i shoot another 3 times or so, but the bandaging animation continues, but then she dies a second time. body disappeared shortly after. after this i have only two murders on me, so now i wonder how the other guy would survive a clean headshot.... -
how would he know which server you joined? a tool like that would need to constantly poll every server out there and if i see how laggy the serverbrowser is...
-
a dev member confirmed it won't disappear automatically, but from manual database cleanup (untouched/empty tents)

The Item Switch Bug and YOU
Azrail (DayZ) replied to HamTheBacon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The problem is, its not a lootpile being created, the items will spread around you within up to several meters. If this happens in high grass its close to impossible to recover lost items. -
Definitive Side Chat / Server Message, Will I get Blacklisted thread?
Azrail (DayZ) replied to phisher34's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Probably its the fact that the dev team is working their ass off right now, and noone really has time to blacklist a myriad of servers because their admins are to dull to follow a simple rule. Every server owner probably needs to read up the rules, just to be sure... http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1429 This set of rules counts, everything else not said by rocket should be confirmed first. (i don't even host a server, and i was aware of these rules, what does that tell you?) Servers not obeying the rules need to be gone. Pay some respect to rocket, or host another game! -
The Item Switch Bug and YOU
Azrail (DayZ) replied to HamTheBacon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
-
You hear it if you aim at people with humanity anything lower then normal. The speed of the beat depends on how low it is. So if he killed one guy yesterday it may run at moderate speed. If he went mass murder the last hour, your character will have a heartattack xD no, joking. And it sounds like an actual heartbeat.

[1.7.1.4/1.7.1.5] Direct Communication does not work.
Azrail (DayZ) replied to Skaterkidd92's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
me and my group just recently successfully communicated with several people ingame via direct chat, it works well so far. seems to be a server issue. i recommend to play on DE10, best in west. -
How many murders to officially become a bandit?
Azrail (DayZ) replied to 97ADU Doug's topic in New Player Discussion
once i was told you start with 2500 humanity, and one kill costs 2000, and you regain 50 per hour or so. i think you go bandit if your humanity goes below zero, that would make sense to me. however i don't know if that's still true with the current patch. what i know is, that if you hear the heartbeat it doesn't mean you look at a bandit. it just means the humanity is lower then normal. if i kill someone and look at his corpse, i will still hear the heartbeat (so they killed someone before) but i get no bandit kill.
