Final Thoughts from an Early MOD player....
blackberrygoo replied to xalienax's topic in General Discussion
Beef bacon , let me fill you in on why all these people are so butthurt over a crappy ,script ridden , mess of a mod ... The mod had helicopters, tanks , base building , a crap hero / bandit system that ruined immersion and free play styles , it was riddled with pvp and literally EVERYONE used global chat to TROLL (ya imagine ten retards in bright blue print yelping "gay gay gay everyone at balota is gonna die get REKT " ya you though the shit talking in SA was bad you should go experience the shitty global channel that was built into all the mods ). The mods had no sense of survival, you hardly had to eat or drink you never goT cold , hot or sick (except for crappy zombie virus) you hardly EVER had to worry about zombies because there were so many of them they would bug out and half the horde would just walk through you and get stuck somewhere in the building , eventually forgetting you were ever there .. Oh and let's talk calibers of weapons and weapons in general , you just spawned in with your trust makarov (or revolver/ hatchet depending on the mod) all you now need to do is rush the nearest firestation for an automatic weapon , sound strange? It gets stranger ... You then find an UMP-45 at the bottom floor with five magazines , you say "agh that's not my absolute fav, let's check upstairs" . You proceed upstairs to find a beautiful cZ550 hunting rifle (with many clips mind you) ... You ignore the unrealistic fact that you just found multiple firearms in a goddamn fire house and rush outside to the sound of a helicopter , you then swiftly shoot it down with the hunting rifle (this is where CALIBERS start to get weird and again unrealistic) how the FUCK did I just take down a heli with a hunting rifle ? Shot the gun through the window , he was at least 500 meters away, yet somehow my magical bullet took his ass out ... Exciting ? Yes , fun and realistic to a point of playing it all the time ? Definitely not . Another thing that's been mentioned is the base building, well I have to say it was exciting in ONE mod (dayz aftermath) but besides that it was always unrealistic, and clunky. There was no barricadin like standalone is working on , locking cars was only available in certain mods and there was no locking of buildings , oh and almost 85% of all buildings were UNEnterable ... The only reason why these people are so obsessed with the mod is because they truly aren't the type to be playing a survival game , I mean in Every one of their arguments they say that the simple UI from the mod needs to come back because they can't be bothered reading status messages (which are turning into a Toggleable UI soon) and also that the calibers and weapons are all wrong yet they are SO much more scarce than in the mod , and what weapon are you so concerned about that has unrealistic interchangeable properties ? Last I heard the mosin and blaze are using their proper ammunition now . Face it guys the mod was and still is complete crap , it was a gimmick back then because nothing compared to it but yet it still didn't live up to it's Survival name because of many many engine limitations and terrible design decisions (like keeping global chat while trying to maintain an apocalypse feel. Yu can always see little kids shit talking over global) the spawn system was so simple and easily abused , there were waaaay more cheaters , almost every server had access to their own database If they knew what they were doing so they could change their server to a 1 million vehicles high PVP server... The mod was ok but in reality all it was was a huge PVP fest with hardly any potential , I've had SO MANY more exciting moments in standalone than the mod , and I played the mod for 2 years ( and many different mods as well like I Said dayz aftermath was the ONLY mod to get close to the survival feel that standalone gives me . Long story short : don't just get nostalgic for things because you can , truly look back and see how riddled the mod was with problems In the design : too many weapons all over with too much ammo, unrealistic ballistics, vehicles too easy to find and repair , pvp far too prevalent because there's no way to damage clothes or equipment , zombies were a joke and really just annoyed you instead of making you fear them, huntin was too simple , global chat was allowed, too many bugs not being fixed and swept under the rug to this day even ... Many many more bad things and the only good things was that the game was simple enough to hunt , make a base , and have some PVP but you people got too obsessed and are now hurt over the fact standalone is finally taking away from PVP and closer to a mix of survivals and PVP ! If you haven't played the mod , well then yu are lucky to see the greatness that is dayz standalone first , because even though the mod had base building and all types of vehicles it was just a terribly designed game based off of another game that didn't suit it's needs , dayz standalone has WAYY more potential we just need to wait to get to the content the mod has and when it reaches that stage standalone will have 10 times as much content seeing as all this "extra stuff" that the OP think is a waste will be added as well. -
Final Thoughts from an Early MOD player....
blackberrygoo replied to xalienax's topic in General Discussion
Lol that's funny because now that we have this very detail oriented , much more immersive standalone , I feel like I never want to go back to those disgusting clunky , hacker with nukes filled wasteland of respawning meta game (loot system so simple you can trick it too easily) ... The standalone is tying loose ends up that the mod could never even think of completing ... Unfortunately for you and others the game doesn't move fast enough but like you said and like I know , all people who are sick of SA now will be flocking back to it when it's fully released ! -
Lol benji what an interesting fellow , as soon as he knew you weren't bullocksing around he quickly became friends ... Oh benji , when will he learn !

Your favorites OSTs / songs while playing DayZ
blackberrygoo replied to spaggiari's topic in General Discussion
Lol I did now ! -
Loved the crying at the end when the bandits found you ... I'm guessing the guy looking down the scope is going to be your friend solnichny ? Please let it happen like that lol ... Great video though really made me feel like I was watching a real movie promo .
-
Lol excellent ... How the hell did all those kids manage to get that many tents near berezino without getting snuffed earlier ? And for that matter why did they only own 5 mosin bullets between all 5 of them ? Lol , also , why do they feel safe pulling out weapons who no ammo when they damn well know you clean house with that axe lol great video ...

Falling of a ladder, died, respawed, went back, nothing remains
blackberrygoo replied to hemmo's topic in General Discussion
Most likely because you triggered the persistence by going into inventory like you said , I really can't wait until persistence is figured out fully , I need to see dead bodies littered about to make this apocalypse feel real ! -
Actually modding has been confirmed many times by not just dean hall, but more recently brian hicks I believe, so it's 100% on board . Also eugen mentioned steam workshop integration could appear before 1.0 release so maybe we could see a mod appear in beta ?

Authenticity: Time Acceleration vs Night Lights
blackberrygoo replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Ya the high amounts just feel unnatural .... We definitely need time accelerated servers to become more popular though they are so fun , they remind me of my old favorite dayz mod, dayz aftermath , in which the day/night cycle was set at just that 4 hours until restart and a good two hours of each day and night ... Unfortunately it was the good old mod dayz so if the server didn't restart every four hours on the dot it got incredibly desyncy and would regress to the previous patch in some ways , which is why I love seein standalone take on the accelerated time because SA, unlike the mod, will eventually not need constant server restarts and have this badass day night cycle going for it . Long story short , that cycle you got there sounds good :) need to find me some time X servers . -
No it's just a terrible glitch with the vehicles handling and how the streets are layed out , OP did you just cross a bridge when you hit the invisible pole? I have gone max speed over two bridges near kamyshovo and it resulted in me hitting an invisible pole so I'm guessing it has to do with certain areas on the map and how fast you are going (maybe even just bridges are doing it I'm not sure).
-
Pretty much this , I haven't been KOSed in a long while , but I avoid players right now as I have lots of gear :) but seriously you're just on a bad streak you will find friendlys again just be more careful in approaching them !!

Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
blackberrygoo replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
It's apart of the new sensors and Ai implemented , god robophant you've been on these forums with so many damn complaints for so long I would think you would eventually get the process of alpha ... We cant move forward without Hitting these rough patches , how do you think perfection is achieved ? Magic? Do you think putting together pieces of code is as easy as playing "connect the dots"? Because it is not and many people think all you have to do is connect the dots but when some new content is added to a game in progress it's going to be very rough around the edges. And clearly the developers saw how fast the zombies were , but since they are weaker In their attacks their speed was increased, when our speed decreases with the implementation of the stamina system, so will the zombies ... Everyhing happens in alpha development for a reason and to proceed further, not for immediate gratification of the alpha tester , that's what 1.0 full release is for ! The only thing you can do (and I say this a lot) is to chime in the current stable build discussion , and drop the info you have there (zombies are so fast they stay on our heels, we all know this but it's ok to state it yourself just don't make a new whine thread about it) , after doing that log it into the bug tracker just in case it is a bug (I know for sure the zombie speed isn't a bug though , just In general keep the bug tracker in mind). Lastly all you can do is after these first two steps, is to wait for beta or further down the road to be instantly gratified by all content . -
I've always liked the idea of having to power up a towns electrical generators so you can have lights or power in that town ... Eugen harton just recently said in a tweet (answering multiple questions at a time) that electricity WOULD eventually be in the game , so this dream is not too far off, I love this idea because it reminds me so much of resident evil 3 when you have to visit the substation and turn it back on but you have to decide whether to leave out the back door when a horde of zombies comes , or to fry them all and short circuit the electrical breakers again ... In dayz this wouldn't be an easy task and I'm guessing this area would be camped on like many of the military areas around the map because when you have electricity you have power , you can invite other survivors to your "electric powered base" where you provide them warm houses , fresh grown food , and maybe even a hot shower (lol) all the while your men are lookin for more parts to upkeep the repairs of the electric power supply (maybe even gas will be needed for generators that are smaller).

Survivor Gamez VI Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]
blackberrygoo replied to tux (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Hicks had responded to one of my questions about this , he said there is a way for us regulars to sign up , I'm guessing it's on the survivor games forums but did anyone "regular" (not a popular streamer) make it into this years games ? Or any for that matter ? I would really like this if it operated like this : ten famous streamers chosen , then a "trial casting event" is made for "regular unknowns" to basically duke it out to see which 10 out of the 20 regulars get to move onto the finals an get paired with a famous streamer . So basically there's only ten famous celebs , and ten "regular" dayz players like us , making an amazing team , or a team of disaster depending on the knowledge (and skill) of both the streamer and average dayz player ! Way better than this confused celebrity setup we have now ! -
I like the idea of being able to construct one , but I think getting the parts together should take a few days of playing (maybe a few hours a day) but besides the rarity of parts , when you have all the parts and a toolbox together , it should take little over 35 -40 minutes to construct the whole thing ... Obviously you can cancel current action whenever you want so if some one is coming towards you you can be ready , but I want this task to be daunting so that not everyone and their brother has one . It should be a huge task to make one so it deters everyone from having one and that way it would be a great reward finishing one . A few setbacks should have a random chance of occurring though: •Rotor blades could become loose and essentially drop you out of the air if you use badly damaged or damaged parts •gas tanks condition determines how fast gas is used • if it's your first few times making a gyro , a number of things during constructing it could break saying something like: "your hammer has broken" All these things would balance the gameplay of it making it not a hot ticket item with everyone , but only to those who are already close to having all the parts after days of random scavenging . We need chernarus to fly , help us make this dream a reality !

Lighting Fires in Fireplaces inside homes.
blackberrygoo replied to DURRHUNTER's topic in Suggestions
Yes ! Although this ties in with "containers found around the world" meaning that each fireplace would have to be an openable container. Coding-wise that would be a drag on oerformance and server fps , I'm sure this feature is coming because many a people including myself have wondered this, but like I said it has to wait for when "containers" are added (like cupboards and cabinets , refrigerators an fireplaces all being "openable storage containers") then the game world could properly handle these things !! It's coming let's make another thread like this when containers are added to remind the devs !! -
I love the idea of islands ! Ever since the prison island was added i felt like they should add a few more little ones. I think they should go even further and add maybe 1000 more meters or more of water to the south of the map so they could have a stretch of islands like the Hawaiin islands :) .
-
I like this Idea ! I suggested the same thing when standalone first started but with vultures instead of crows lol ! I believe the devs have talked about dead body's decaying (bodies disappear now after ten minutes as a placeholder clean up mechanic , it will be longer soon and hopefully with the decay aspect the devs talked about , crows and scavenger animals would fit perfectly if that were the case )!

Player running speed. Dev response appreciated.
blackberrygoo replied to 97ADU Doug's topic in General Discussion
Stamina system is coming , it's been said many times the running speed will be nerfed with it's addition ... Definitely need it sooner rather than later but it's not waaaaay up the priority list ! -
You will be able to run it. Unfortunately dayz doesn't do so well with Amd processors (and some amd gfx cards apparently) but you'll definitely be getting a "playable" fps like the rest of us (25 -30 in cities , 30-60 in woods and blank areas)... Dayz is so much fun mofuka !!

Questions, Comments and Concerns regarding Survivor GameZ
blackberrygoo replied to HugoStiglitz (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I wonder if all the streamers are on a first person only server ? It would be unfair to be able to peak around corners :/ . I really like this idea anyways , I just wish there was a public sign up based on skill and not a bunch of popular streamers being picked out for being well known, so us regulars could try out .. We would wreck shit . :0! -
I can't wait for these features (in this order) : base building , advanced barricading, predator animals , huntable birds and fish that roam just like other animals, fully fleshed out cooking system (no pots pans needed !), and finally I can't wait for advanced vehicles (more variety and planes/boats, maybe some helicopters). Oh and also I really can't wait for the day/night cycle to be a normal thing (with accelerated servers) and for persistence to be working100% without any server restarts every 4 hours or without any wipes on Wednesday ! That's dream dayz., but dreams only stay like that for so long until they become a reality :D
-
That sounds right , so really only thing that changes is where and how loot spawns ... I liked the new spawning system (in which you could find mp5s in police stations and police gear there too) so I hope it doesn't take long toget back to it !
