Survivor-Kyle

Thanks guys, I figured I'd disguise this as a bitch/moan thread and catch people off.guard. Woodo, one of each. They came a bit early, but darn if they aren't the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Were you the guy who I didn't get into a gunfight with in that same tower yesterday? I came up the side and identified myself as friendly, just looking for supplies.

I recently found an M4A1 CCO at one of the airports. I saw on the wiki that it's a very rare spawn, is there anything particularly great about the rifle?

Thanks Hopscotch, Thad about what I expected. I just wasn't sure sine it lists as more rare than other m4s.

Yeah, I was honestly surprised he didn't kill me. I totally had the drop on him, maybe he respected that. Either way, it restored a little bit of my faith in the population.

I was at the airfield earlier tonight. I snuck my way up into the ATC and found a player who was intently watching the stairs. I took cover and used the direct channel to identify myself as friendly, I even lowered my shotgun as a sign of good faith. In the end neither of us shot the other, and now I have an assault pack and an m4. Balota is fine by me.

Nope, they are based in the Czech Republic. Rocket is from New Zealand. ..aaww what?! not American?....this game sucks now :P Agreed. Uninstalling.

Devs are American, so it likely follows American [read: correct ;)] pronunciation.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. One more thing, I didn't install any of the previous betapatches since the one released toward the end of May, do I have to download all the patches since my last patch-up, or just the one the servers a running? I keep spawning in Wilderness Bay, I can't get to play this game which is so bloody frustrating. I've spent more time fucking about with Dayz than playing it. The beta patch was required with the release of 1.7.1.x, so your issues may be related to not having it. In my experience, some older beta servers will not let me connect (I currently have 93825). If you get a black loading screen, try a different server with a current version (to confirm the nature of the bug).

That was in the last one' date=' 93825. [/quote'] :D Misread it. I was just skimming the current change log, saw it, and assumed it was another tweak.

Also this gem: [93812] Fixed: Restrict gamma value set by profile [93809] Fixed: Restrict brightness value set by profile

The 1.7.1.5 hotfix addresses this.

I just sucked it up and learned to use flares (it's not like they aren't everygoddamnedwhere). In cases where I want daylight, like when I have to do lots of wilderness travel, I log onto servers with 300+ pings. It reminds me of playing Quake2 with a P.O.T. line and a 450ms ping. Oh the golden age...

I see no problem with this. It doesn't 'ruin the game', as has been suggested, it just makes everyone play like new players. Now everyone has to find gear, rather than resupplying from private reserves. That's the point of this project, right? To test game mechanics? This X3. I hope vehicles get wiped next.

I was thinking about how easy it was to draw attention from a zombie. Simply walking is enough to make a town of Zs come running. But why don't zombies, even at a full run, attract/aggro other zombies? Here is my idea: a new type of zombie that runs after any movement source. In town, around other zombies, it would be pretty schitzo, but I think it could lead to hoards wandering around areas. It could also add a new dodge/distract dynamic, because drawing the attention of a single zombie, even without full aggro, would potentially draw others in. Just an idea, any thoughts?

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx Should give a decent guess.

I am now getting the black loading screen whenever I try to connect. Was doing fine earlier today, and then I installed beta patch ARMA2_OA_Build_93825.zip Now it's nothing but 'loading'...

Bravo. Well played. I'm all for the idea, I just doubt that an effective police force will happen. It'll be another vehicle that people can troll with.

Yes, you need matches. Blood packs are in hospitals only, and you need a second player to administer it.

Rocket, Is there a way you could add a Hug-Gun into the game? Instead of shooting bullets it fires soft warm Hugs. Maybe have the hugs raise body temperature or restore lost blood or something. That way bandits can still have the fun of shooting players, but without having kill people and make us lose our stuff. I think this is a good idea.

Plus bandits could just use them to draw survivors in for the kill. >"This is the police, we're here to help" "Hooray! lets go meet them!" >"Just kidding, I'm a bandit." [Dead]

I like moving to different servers. Sometimes (most times) I cannot log on until it is after 10pm. I don't always like to play in the [total] dark, so I'll move to a different server with an offset clock. But pings across the globe can be erratic. Locking players to servers would punish players such as myself.
