When and where from did you heard about DayZ and what forced you to buy it?
jstarkreborn replied to borntobewild's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I was watching RhinoCRUNCH play it for awhile. I just had to buy arma 2 afterwards, I just wish I heard of arma before then, though. -
The enraged cry of a man killed in church.
jstarkreborn replied to 07ron's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
Well, at least the guy wasn't on a hill 400-900 meters away. -
Yeah, maybe for the standalone. Rocket has more important things to worry about at the moment.

Just to clarify, tents and vehicles DO save now?
jstarkreborn replied to Welch (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Was that on a low pop server? Because I was near the NWAF(I think) found a tent on top of a small hill, took 4 cooked meat and some AS50 Mags. Not sure if that was yours but if it was than thanks, I almost died of starvation. -
Sometimes, I can't help but love hackers.

If you took stuff thats already ingame then meh... but if you took anything that you can't find ingame than f*ck you. -
Rocket, Please don't. (Dayz on Console).
jstarkreborn replied to alcatraz968's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I used to be a console gamer, got a pc that could handle gaming and I never looked back. Look at battlefield, graphics wise. Even on ALL of the lowest settings, it still looks better than console. Consoles are heavily outdated. Only an idiot would think otherwise. Any game made for consoles would have to be water-downed so it can handle it. Besides, I don't know what rocket was thinking, how could consoles even play it? For one I use almost ever key for Arma. There isn't enough buttons on the controller to port it to consoles without having to remove a lot of mechanics. -
a DayZ MOVIE, this is Day Zed the Intro
jstarkreborn replied to DrFree_man's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
That was pretty good.I wonder how the 'movie' is going to turn out. -
I'm on day 14 and I've only played 4 hours top on that char. It goes by when the character was saved to the hive.

will dayz stand alone come to consouls
jstarkreborn replied to resistence1993's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Protip; never buy from retail. I bought this computer for 1000$+ tax, The actual cost of the parts are 600-700$. I really wish I knew what I know now about computers when I bought this. But hey, it can run Arma 2 on med. Its also strange that nobody said this, the graphics card in your ps3 is like 3-4 years old and its impossible to upgrade it. You can upgrade a pc graphics card easily if the motherboard/gpu is up-to-date. Not only that but you use your entire keyboard for arma, there is NOT enough buttons for a controller. Really, just invest in a good PC, its worth the money... -
Before I state the suggestion, I want to tackle something I hear a lot. That is "adding a bandit skin fill fix it!" In actuality, it wouldn't. Bandits would still be bandits, y'know? They're still going to shoot you from 1000 meters away with a scoped rifle and whatnot. To actually fix the problem, you need to do one of two things(or both.) 1.) More incentive to help people. Anything really. Right now there is more reason to kill someone(Food+Gear/The cure for boredom) then there is to help them. Other than out of the kindness of your heart, why would you help someone? The game isn't really that hard once you get used to it, and you wouldn't really gain much from it other than a slight boost against players. Note: This is talking about random people and no one you know IRL. Obviously. 2.)Something else to do. I mean lets face it, once you get the best gear in the game and build a car/heli. What's left to do other than kill players? You could say 'survive'. But whats that? Killing animals and drinking pond water 5000 miles away from civilization? If that's you're meaning of fun then go ahead without me. It could be something like being able to build a fort with others in a server or something, I'm not good at coming up things 'on the fly', okay? I'm a thinker.

How do you survive for more than a few hours?
jstarkreborn replied to ZePlague's topic in New Player Discussion
Learn more about the game, really. I think we all used to only survive for a small amount of time. But once you learn more about it, you can survive for days and days. When I first spawn I usually sprint straight through cherno or electro. Get everything I need(A gun,map,hunting knife, morphine, ect) and get the hell out of there. The more time you spend in places where good loot spawns, the more likely you're going to get shot at. Also, if you're running snipers might have a harder time getting a clear shot at you. -
Making Youtube Videos. need advice.
jstarkreborn replied to BOMBCRAZYInc's topic in New Player Discussion
Yeah... I agree... But... what the hell type of video file is that?*googles it* You would need to record in .mp4 format to edit in sony vegas. Sony Vegas is very picky about the video/audio formats it likes. -
Two Ways To Actually Fix the "Bandit Problem"
jstarkreborn replied to jstarkreborn's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I got really low on humanity because soon to be bandits shot at me(and missing), thus making me a bandit, thus making me not to be trusted, thus having to kos everyone. Also, removal of starting weapons and food helped some of it. There's no reason for actual bandits(not murderers, but bandits that actually take your stuff) to kill newly spawn players. I'll actually try to communicate with somebody that doesn't have a weapon or has a hatchet. I refuse to talk to anyone with a weapon I don't know. Besides, whats to stop a survivor or a soon to be bandit from killing another survivor? -
Two Ways To Actually Fix the "Bandit Problem"
jstarkreborn replied to jstarkreborn's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
But what else are you going to do after you just raided the nwaf for the last time? That's what I want to know. Well, you can't do much about those, even on a game like minecraft, they'll always be there. But giving them something else could occupy their time... -
On Game Theory and the Logic of Bandit Identifiers
jstarkreborn replied to bazbake's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have to agree with some of the other people that posted here, I wouldn't want to be labeled as a bandit because I killed a few survivors that shot at me. Then again I'm a lone wolf so it wouldn't really matter... -
But when shit breaks, fix it. You CAN'T use 'its in alpha!' as an excuse. Seriously, thats just saying there will be bugs and its in development. Not "Since its in alpha we'll take our sweet time fixing bugs." Just because you're fine with, doesn't mean most of us are.
-
It is when you were already getting bored with the game to begin with. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. But seriously, being too light on any development team is a bad thing. I worked faster when there were a fair amount of people complaining then when people said "Go ahead, take your time bro, we understand." I seriously would take my time and not work as much on whatever I was working on.
-
Not for 90% of the community. Its still kind of? Rockets fault. I'm not sure about after this patch, but this could of easily been caught if they tested it. I used to code with DMI(byond) and I always tested something before patching it. I mean, they do test patches before they release it, right? Or do they have us test that too? I'm seriously curious with that one.
-
I'm an avid bf3 player(ps3) and I have never encountered game breaking bugs, glitches, and exploits, but nothing game breaking. If this was just a bug and not a game breaking bug, I would happily support Rocket.
-
Impatient? It would be impatient if you could still PLAY the game. Almost everywhere that spawns GOOD loot has this shi*ty graphics bug. I tried all of the fixes and none of them worked. He should of just made a hotfix instead of whatever he's doing.
-
I tried every temporary 'fix' that people came up with. Not a single one worked. I changed ALL of my video settings. I tried different combinations, I tried turning off AA, nothing. They fixed bugs like these much quicker. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/49740-graphical-bugs/page__st__20They FOUND whats causing it awhile ago. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they're working on this full time as I assume(I mean, he's planning to make this a standalone game and he made BI a crapload of money.)then this graphics bug should be fixed by now. Hell, he thought it'll be done by now himself, I can see a day late, but over 3? And going by how some people are saying he wants to add other things than just a fix, he probably already fixed this problem. He's just trying to code the other things he wants in the game.
-
Exactly my point, after I get the best gear in the game, what am I supposed to do? I don't want to kill people, the only other thing for someone like me is to do is what? Sit in a forest somewhere, Kill animals and drink pond water? Sounds very fun. They found the bug way before the release date, or this topic even came out. I said to myself "Oh it'll come out on the 1st? I'll wait since I can't even enter berezino, let alone get to the hospital to get vital morphine." They used to come out with bug fixes, ones like these, EXTREMELY quick. Which is what I used to like about the Devs, but now they're getting slower on the patches themselves, let alone fixes.
-
Just Cause 2 is in no way related to a sim genre. If they do come out with a zombie mod, it'll probably be something like L4D2 or something.
-
You call this quick? This is already 3 days after the target date, and the graphics bug appeared like what, 3 days before that? I was already starting to get bored with DayZ, but the graphics bug was the nail in coffin for me, I probably won't play until they add something to increase replayability.

Not currently in Arma 2. What you can do is write down the server name (ie. US352) and use the filter option. If you don't see it on the list after using the filter(and you wrote it down correctly.) then its probably down.
