Is there going to be a feature to tagg people as friendly?
djporternz replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
This is why, Mr StupidandLazy: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?app=core&module=search§ion=search&do=search&fromsearch=1 or here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?app=core&module=search§ion=search&do=search&fromsearch=1 or here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?app=core&module=search§ion=search&do=search&fromsearch=1. As I said, There are only so many times you can try and help people that obviously can't be bothered to help themselves! The tools are there, use them! NOTE: Search links don't embed properly! Whatever! Search for 'nameplates' or 'dogtags' or 'gamertags' as these are the search terms from above. Point still stands! -

djporternz replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
We are not! We are old, tired and grumpy from answering the same questions over and over and over and over and ... over again. The replies aren't changing so the threads already contain everything that can possibly be said for these ideas for and against. -
You get kicked. You use your 5 mins downtime to report the server for infringment of the DayZ ToS. Problem solved. Go here for details: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/

Mandatory thread search before posting a thread

Search 'KoS'. No results found for 'kos'. Yeah, that's gonna work! -
Servers Putting TS Info In Welcome Messages
djporternz replied to dusty_nuttles's topic in General Discussion
You watch his streams, don't you? He's talking to a large group and I don't see the direct chat tell-tale mic icon going off too often. Guess he must have some way to secord his massive ESP powers. Or he could just be using some sort of VOIP. Which do you think? Or are you more worried about the consequences of your own actions? God forbid that they organise a lynch party and come shoot you in the face. If I'm not mistaken, that's the sort of stuff Dean specifically wants in this game. -
Yeah we could have them spend all that time polishing and optimizing the game in its present state. And then they add that one new feature that breaks everything again because of an unforseen interconnection with something (or more likely, somethings) else. They are, at the moment in the 'Alpha' phase of development. That means they are going to be adding in the core framework on which they intend to hang the rest of the game. This is currently introducing bugs and glitches at around the same rate that they are being found and patched over. This was forseen an warned about in big letters before you were able to purchase it. For me, I can't wait to see the bugs they introduce when they start adding in the major component to the game: vehicles, persistant stroage (tents), base building. This game is going to topple over for each and every one of these things, and like many others here, we'll be there to help push it back upright and set it back in the direction that it needs to be going in. TL;DR: If you are wanting to play a polished, optimised and finished DayZ, I'd suggest you come back in a year or so. Before then is just potential and heartache aplenty!

Low GPU Power % for DayZ ( Nvidia 600 series cards )
djporternz replied to Comrade_'s topic in Troubleshooting
DayZ is more closely tied to CPU performance than GPU, hence the lack of an increase with the upgrade of your graphics card. There is no way around this ATM and I'd go as far as saying that there probably won't be until there is a major fundamental change within the RV engine. TBH, those terrible frames in game are the best you're going to get. Remember this isn't a FPS engine at its core, and so was never intended to return the top end figures for frames. The reason the RV engines are more suited to games like DayZ and the ArmA series in general, is the CPU intensive 'per frame' computations that are happening behind the scenes. I would like to see a complete reworking of the RV engines from the ground up with provision to really push the power that is available in the modern PC, but that's a project that would take considerable time and effort to get right. BI aren't one of the big boys in the industry and may not presently have the resources to undertake such a journey. ON TOPIC: I've only got a 560 Ti and am getting between 17~25 FPS in major towns, but I'm also using a late model AMD CPU, so YMMV. -
Easter eggs you hope get added to DayZ

Is wall "glitching" gonna be fixed soon?
djporternz replied to belphegor_goatzombie's topic in General Discussion
Yes, you're right! It's that easy and they just haven't done it to screw you over. Honestly, do you actually believe they WOULDN'T have fixed this if it was this easy? -

Is rain client side or server side?

Tested this extensively today with my group. Definately client-side. :( :( :emptycan: -

Critical Unplanned Update of 0.34 to Stable 7 February 2014
djporternz replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
Just been playing on Vilayer, with same problem. -
Just something that may be an exploit, but you can use the Sewing Kit to repair clothes while in a full sprint from your Inventory screen. Also, doesn't seem to work for Backpacks, Hats, Mil Vests, Chest Holster or Shoes. Does work for Shirts, Pants and gloves. Thats all I've tried so far.
-
Not while there are no private hives. No ETA on private hives has been even hinted at. Probably not going to happen until Beta.
-
This happens now! Not the content, although that is cool too if I do say so myself, but the item! * We can write notes in game again!!!
-
You don't! Believe me, it's better if you don't. The Zombies don't attack you if you're in 1PP

How do I carry more than 3 weapons at a time?

SO DayZ is now going to be Gun Collector Simulator 2014! Shoot me now! No, wait.... I didn't.... *Ahhhhh* *BANG* -
The new logout system is bad. Very, very bad.
djporternz replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
I'm going to stop you right there. This is a known bug. It hasn't been fixed as yet so I'd assume that the problem is a little complex. Oh, and this is an Alpha. You might want to refresh your memory and read that big notice you have to click through each time you launch the game. -
Coming soon (?)! The hunt for Cobra Commander (server event).

Airfields and military bases are dumb
djporternz replied to rodolfoxiii's topic in General Discussion
Yes, we have spent considerable time, energy and money making sure that everyone knows this. It is the official story and we're sticking to it. There is no reason whatsoever for any player at anytime to deviate from the standard: Spawn; Run to the nearest Military site; Loot site; Run back the Cherno or Elektro and go bang bang. No reason whatsoever to deviate from this plan of action! None! Nada! Zilch! Zero! Remember, nothing at all spawns anywhere else on the map! It is all hostile barren wilderness, inhabited by wild Zombies and rabbits that think they're Zombies. You don't want to be there. The trees will eat you! The grass isn't smokeable! Did I mention the Zombies and rabbits and absolutely no loot! You can take my word for it, I wouldn't lie to you! PS: There is no reason for anyone to be seen anywhere near Novi or Stary Sobor at any time! Just saying... -
That's some spooky shit right there!

I'd assume shoes and clothing.
