I wouldn't say "dumbed down" so much as incomplete... I went to play the Mod last night and I'll be damned if it's been too long... I remember I could get in and out of a town without alerting one zed... I'd have me a backpack, some meds, some beans and a few colas, and a goold ol' winchester... but... this DIDN'T happen lastnight... I found myself running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to quickly loot and get outta the house before the zeds swarmed... the DayZ SA approach definitely does NOT work for the mod :P

Once they allow private servers and modding... feel free to make your very own, LEGIT, hiking simulator out of the game, buddy!

Would you rather have more Zombies or gradually increase player count?
gerbilschooler replied to Miquinei's topic in General Discussion
It is the sparsity of human interaction that allows the game to be intense. It always seems like you're alone but there is that nagging feeling that another player is watching you through his crosshairs... The zombie count and player count need to increase together, synchronously, to maintain a fun, playable (ALPHA, I know) experience, IMO... even if it will all get rebalanced and tweaked before beta release... -
That would mean for every 3000 steps you took, there is a 5% chance that your gun WILL NOT GO OFF... in other words... 95% probability of going off after 3000 steps... no... just no

There should be an option to heat a whole can/box at once

Vintorez, my *{n-word with an emphasis on the "A"}!!! Edit: Who needs a bolt action sniper?! 2nd Edit: You CAN put a sawed off shotgun in your bag and have access to it like any other weapon. *Edited because of racists...

Did I just survived a HaxXOr ?
gerbilschooler replied to paradogz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
He was probably exploiting a wall glitch... no one can see him but he can see everyone else.... probably not a hacker (maybe, but probably not) just a bug exploiter. -
QQ... so much wasted time

This Game is Being Advertised as an MMO Right? Char Bound to Server.
gerbilschooler replied to gjhook's topic in Suggestions
This^^^^^^ Private hives will come and then you can have your DayZ epoch BS where you spawn in with BFG and a ten inch black dildo of pwnage.. oh, and one minute in from shore, awaiting YOU is... A BRAND NEW CAR!!! WHOO HOO YAY!!! ...I LOVE all the wonderful private servers that the mod has now... oh, it's so much fun to have to wade through lists of [100000000+ Vehicles! 2,000,000,000 ARMY TENTS and a "SWEET FUCK ALL" initial loadout!!!!] just to find that one lonely server that starts you with a bandage and some flares... Edit: Like poster I quoted said... server homes will be made more apparent once tents make their way onto the scene -
I'd bet that there are still a few Thompson's laying around Russia,... I mean, after WWII, there just had to be a crazy assortment of all sorts of arms all over the world, man... after any war there is going to be more arms in more parts of the world. After a war, not only do you have scattered arms just because of armed men invading different continents, but you also have surplus... you gotta find a new place where those arms are "needed" Edit: And shit... sometimes surplus is just given to have a new armed friend on your side...
-
Indeed... unless this province of "Chernaraus" is completely removed from how the rest of the world's arms get pushed around from country to country,war to war... surplus populations need surplus arms, then any gun from any country is feasible to be in Chernaraus.
-
If a gun can hold more than one round and does not need a magazine, then you should be able to load to it's capacity no matter the remaining amount of bullets. As far as I know, as VinceV said, the only way to prevent this is with a stripper clip.
-
True.. .however, having commands like these might entice a group of more hardcore gamers to get off the TeamSpeak and meet up the old fashioned way (you know add that much more immersion to help eliminate the feeling/need for more immersion breaking things like TS to make up for the loss in realism)... with walkie talkies, etc... Edit: The more real you make a game the more "real" people will tend to treat it
-
Though after reading this: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/173437-tactical-gestures/ I could see a MUCH better use for your idea than just for when one has a burlap sack over the head...

Holy Jesus! GENIUS!!! Completely brain farted on how EVERY OTHER ITEM IN MY INVENTORY was interacted with (well, not quite... I kept right clicking the book looking for the damn read option... it works IRL)... lawls

Please Bring Back The Stary Sober Military Tents
gerbilschooler replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
Well... there IS that whole new military base above Kamenka and Zelenogorsk has a small military compound... Oh, and Green Mountain. Though, I do agree that the West side of the map is seeming very underutilized right now. I'd wager because there are no spawns past Cherno -
About those books... did I just FORGET how to read? Or are they not working at the moment? (I can't seem to read books I find anymore... I know I was able to on Alpha release, but, maybe I forgot how to interact with the damn things) Any help?
-
Yes, you might want to rename your post to "Make Tactile Senses Visible" or something like that so as not to mislead people ^_^ . And, while I think your idea might be kinda cool... It will just not happen and is rather pointless, IMO. The payoff for how much time and effort the development team would have to put in to make what you are suggesting a reality is FAR from worth it.

Low FPS on low settings with not bad pc

Low FPS on low settings with not bad pc
gerbilschooler replied to Putts_UK's topic in Troubleshooting
Yeah, what resolution you play at? And do you have VSYNC on? VSYNC on anything? Like enabled in your Nvidia driver control panel or with your monitor, maybe... or in game -
Low FPS on low settings with not bad pc
gerbilschooler replied to Putts_UK's topic in Troubleshooting
That doesn't sound right to me. I have every setting maxed and have not had any serious frame rate issues anywhere... lowest maybe getting to 15 a few times on really populated servers in big cities (but I have never gotten consistent unplayable framerates). I am running a FX 8350 at stock (4 ghz) with a HD 7950 at 925/1250 (stock) and some Corsair XMS 1333 RAM and an ASrock 990FX Extreme3... so, something sounds off to me there... Edit: Play at 1920X1080 -
[Crossposted from /r/dayZ] Taking a break from SA, giving the mod a try, got a few questions though!
gerbilschooler replied to Cenobyte's topic in New Player Discussion
I would recommend just Vanilla... and ALSO. Battle Royale! It is quite a fun mod for the mod... -
There is no way for an admin to help you get your character back... once that "You Are Dead" screen pops up... it means it, man. Edit: And I don't know if Rust would be right for your temperament either... I see a broken keyboard in your future if you pick up Rust, man ^_^

This game needs trench coats? Yea or nay?
gerbilschooler replied to crazykage's topic in Suggestions
One day, there will be... not in the vanilla standalone, I am sure (cause of the clipping) but come private hives and mods, I am sure we will see trench coats with people's legs inexplicably seeming to temporally warp through the fabric without damaging it... -
Every Wednesday at 7:00AM GMT... three hour planned down time for servers. 2 more hours to go, buddy
