Who wants to form a sweet settlement way up in the northwest?
archone88 replied to Johnny Depth's topic in General Discussion
And I could be your doctor/gatherer. Always been fond of that task, healing my team whenever they need to. Ill need assistants though. And escort! ;) -
I have a server as favorite, for other reasons, that has these messages. Where the admin asks "if we like the server?" Im not an admin myself. But I do see these messages from time to time. But they appear to be on a loop.

What do you keep in your inventory? My backpack versus my friends.
archone88 replied to Hagon94's topic in General Discussion
Since my last respawn, 3-4 days ago. Ive been satisfied with the necessary. -1 rifle + 1 magmum, w 2 stacks of ammo for each. -1 canteen. -1 medkit + extra bandage. - I eat all food I find so count that out. - Can opener. The rest is going to be filled with the stuff that hasnt started working yet. Like canisters, cooking pot, matches, firewood etc. (I dont play so much anymore) -
Bye bye! See you soon again!

My friend does something really funny when he comes across another gun
archone88 replied to helcol's topic in General Discussion
Im opening all the cans I find, and feed the "zombie rabbits" outdoors. They must be starving.. -
It has already been said. Warningshots are a bad idea. Especially if youre playing alone. Stealth is your best friend, announcing your prescence to everyone nearby, is the worst thing you can ever do.

I dont agree that this game is all about pvp. It is for some, and I do respect that. But the core for DayZ was the great number of choices you had. Which includes pvp, surviving, zombie killing, crafting, base building, exploring, loot etc. If I were you, Id wait 10+ months. Until it hits Beta. The game will be so much more by then, and will suit alot more players! No matter what branch you choose to play it along. Ive played so many hours of DayZ mod, several hundreds, but only 80+ hours SA. Simply because the game isnt about pvp for me. And as the game looks right now, theres only 2 things to do. 1. Survive, and get your equipment. 2. Die. In some way, usually in PvP.

A nice example would be the zed who aggroed me yesterday. I was sneaking through town, seeing a zed with his back towards me. And hes roughly 25m away. He made noices and changed his posture, so I thought he had seen or heard another player. So I stood perfectly still and waited to see what the next move from the zed, would be. It took 15-20seks, then he ran 10m forward, stood still. And then turned around and charged me. As previous ^ has said already. They have very weird senses of sight and hearing. And will be better in time. But are completely broken atm. Im just glad they havent implemented more zeds, than there is currently. It would be annoying to aggro any zeds just by being close. (20-50m)

You have my beans sir! Not much beats a break from work, reading stuff like this. Thanks!
-
Pretty much an ass comment. Hes going to quit his job at Bohemia! So what? It doesnt mean anything but just that. The game will still be worked on, with the same people as before. And when he leaves, the game will be alot closer to the end product. Stop whining.

Ive only got 80+ hours so far. But Im sure Ive seen 85-90% of the map. I rarely stay in one place, I like traveling with a goal. The only part I havent really bothered looking into, is the northern border of the map.
-
Always have the thought, that there could be aplayer behind the next tree or house. Awareness comes in time, but always look around you. Stay still often enough to give you time. And use your ears aswell, people does alot of noise.

I've just mercilessly gunned down two men...
archone88 replied to Mctoot's topic in General Discussion
Not feeling guilty for ruining someones Dayz experience, by killing them. Will come for most in due time. Ive got over 500hours of Mod gametime. And the only hint I can give you, as the Alpha looks like atm, is to get a working Mic. Reaching out to others with minimal risk for your own life, is something youll get better at. If you try being a Hero. The first contact is always tense, for obvious reasons, so be always careful. You dont have to shoot first, but sometimes its not worth the risk. There will always be noobs KOS'ing. Aswell as experienced players. Practice makes perfect. -
Summary of dev Q&As from streams
archone88 replied to LaughingJack (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Horses look to be very hard, but they will defently be done About this line. He said that riding will be very difficult to add. But they want to allow riding! Horses overall will be done. Other than that! Very nice of you!!! :) -
I think it would be a fun idea. But two words: Private Server. Is a must I think.
-
Sounds like someone left it there for a friend to take.
-
Even the ruined Compass will work. It will be harder to see whats north on it, but it will still work. Must be fixed eventually.

Think I have a problem?...How Many Hours Do You Have Logged So Far?
archone88 replied to TEST_SUBJECT_83's topic in General Discussion
I cherish my 80+hours of Dayz. Got a wife, and kids halftime. -
What sort of player are you on DayZ? *QUIZ*
archone88 replied to Flagella's topic in General Discussion
As the hero wannabe Im trying to be: You are the people that the DayZ community respect. Brave and courageous, you will stand up for that poor new spawn and give him your weapon if you had to. You don't kill people on sight, you tend to interact with the players you meet and help them out. You only ever engage in combat if you're being shot at. 81% Survivor 15% Hero 11% Bandit 0% KoS'er -
Nice find! I have my base there on a Dayz Mod server! :P

Items you have still yet to see in the game.
archone88 replied to Johnny Depth's topic in General Discussion
Supressor for the M4 Long Range Scope. Thats it.. I killed a bandit having a FNX with Silencer. So I guess I "found" that one. -
Why not spawn players randomly throughout the map?
archone88 replied to Johnny Depth's topic in General Discussion
If you can spawn near the NWAF, for example, then there shouldnt be any Suicide/respawn function. Which could make it a doable task of just respawning over and over to get the nice spawn point. -
Maybe add faster zombie variants, which only appears further inland. The longer the zed has "lived" the faster it is. So newly infected near the coast, are slower. (To make the first steps after respawn easier) And harder the further you venture inland. Where the infection has been longer, (?)
