Summary of dev Q&As from streams
odin_lowe replied to LaughingJack (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Wow! Thanks for sharing this!! -
Love Namalsk and would really like either another map or a snowy version of Chernaurus with the stand alone engine/features. :thumbsup:

While I was waiting for my team-mate at Krasnostav, I had the chance to briefly meet 3 survivors.. They no longer exist

Honestly the only thing I really hate about this video is the latency. The guy at the bottom of the stairs, if it was his mates that got killed on the top floor, he should just have killed you while you were looting his buddy. If not, then he would have killed you for sure when you passed the door on the bottom of the stairs. He shot after even though if it was in real time, would have saw you before you saw him. (either that or he is extremely slow, which I doubt judging he was waiting at the bottom of the stairs all this time, adrenaline pumping. He would have shot anything that appeared on s=his screen in a split second, so the lag/latency/sync is very bad right now and makes playing a random matter far, far more than of skills or gameplay abilities... :( ) :thumbsup: For hardcore servers. And we need bandits like him if we want some pvp fellow heroes who enjoy more helping others than killing them. -

Hey! B) I run alone and shoot zombies. And I'm not a redneck! I don't carry a melee anymore for the challenge. Fists and guns! (of course I get kos from time to time by players who can easily spot me, but I encountered a few fellas that saw what I was doing and just went to meet me since I was "clearing the infestation". They thought most bandits just hide and stalk and don't waste ammo on zombies, they were right. Anyway, agreed on the backpack. But my love goes to the improvised one. I always make one as soon as I can! :thumbsup: -
Yes. I just saw one of Rhodes videos and while he was fighting 2 zombies one of them hit the other. They didn't continue fighting on since he dispatched of them, but I think it can happen on coincidence.
-
Is this on the stable or experimental branch? I haven't experienced that before.
-
Lol, the military zombie hit his zombie friend at 4:21! :D I had good encounters on the experimental servers. Of course there was some bad ones, but mostly it was positive and very interesting. Thanks for sharing Rhodes!
-
Same. If it was only pvp kos like some say, I would never had 80% non-hostile encounters for 20% killed on sight...

There are hundreds of games out there just made for online PVP. Since DayZ mod or SA give me more tools to interact with other players, I tend to use them and see what happens. I hang around light RP servers most of the time. Makes it more interesting. (at least for me) I had (and still having) an incredible time in the DayZ mod, and even though I enjoy playing with the stand alone, it's alpha status makes me take a different approach and really treat it like a software in development. I've tested hundreds of betas and alphas for the past 10 years and enjoy this evolving process a lot. To each his own, but I do believe there's no right way to play DayZ. KoS for some, friendly for others. The only wrong way to play is to impose your style of play to others and say it's the only right way to play. Peace. Like in Rest In Peace, because in the end, DayZ is all about how you lived, and died...

Just died of heart attack, incredibly stupid
odin_lowe replied to schofie1d's topic in General Discussion
That's what I thought too. The server itself having some experimental branch files. Weird, but that would explain how bugged it turned out to die from a heart attack without even being tired. -

odin_lowe replied to schofie1d's topic in General Discussion
If everything you stated is exactly the way it happened (server, position, behavior, etc.) then it's pretty obvious it's a bug. The way they want to implement heart attacks is like if you run for an extended period of time, get sick do to various reason or even get shot (you can get in a state of shock) you can have irregular heart rate and get a heartattack. It's pretty complicated program wise so I wouldn't be surprised if at this stage it would be glitched. But this program is only active on the experimental branch, so it's really interesting and fascinating it happened to you on the stable branch. -

An advice is an advice. Not taking any at anytime means you know everything right? I was just sharing some thoughts since you seemed very annoyed at your situation, which you shouldn't be for the reasons I stated. This is just the obvious sir and I was just trying to help. This is the experimental branch and we should treat it accordingly. Those features are bound to be tweaked. and change. Please, this is a video game, no need for insults. -

You shouldn't "play" for hours. This is an early alpha stage software meant to be tested. Of course you can have fun in it, but bugs/glitches are everywhere and it's up to all of us to find them/report them so they can be fixed. On a side note, at least this is still in alpha, as there a "completed" games out there with game breaking bugs... On a final note, don't get too "attached" to virtual or material things. It's futile. Enjoy the moments and create memories, it's the only thing that will really last till you die. Or do as you wish. ( I just don't have the luxury of wasting positive resources to get me back up from "feeling bad/mad" in video games. I rather would spend those resources for all the bad things that happens in real life... ;) ) -
Some old. Some new. Feeling hungry? You look angry... Experimental servers character

Nope, not working yet.

I really enjoy the new clinic and police station, but I liked when they were unique to Svetlojarsk! :D Saw them first when loot didn't even spawned in them and really enjoy how they stand out in that town. Gotta keep an eye out to see where they added them in other towns. First time seeing the new police station. Jan 23rd Really liked the clinic and all it's details even though nothing spawned in them. Since then, the clinic has great med loot spawns and the police station is a great place to find guns and ammo.

To get access to experimental servers you need to "Opt -in" on your Beta tab of the game's Steam properties.

Update Rev. 0.36.115535 (Experimental branch)
odin_lowe replied to Hicks_206 (DayZ)'s topic in News & Announcements
I used to take the item in my hands and spam F then throw away the 0% item away. It only did the animation once and worked great for rice or powdered milk. It's a great addition non-the-less to have the feature itself though!! B) -

odin_lowe replied to Hicks_206 (DayZ)'s topic in News & Announcements
Wow! :o Big patch! Lots of new additions as well as bug fixes! I really like the clinic and police station in Svetlojarsk so I'm glad to see them added across the map! Keep it up guys this is looking great! :thumbsup: -
I haven't found any written ones yet, but I left a few in Stary sober on the hardcore experimental servers. Dunno if anyone found them or even looked at them though... :D

Server Hosting Without Paying Or Singleplayer/Lan
odin_lowe replied to rayman672's topic in Suggestions
One more grain of sand in this vast sea... I find it peculiar that people now are like "No! Please no single player in DayZ!" when there's been single player in DayZ mod for so long I can't remember. Anyone with ArmA2 and the DayZ mod can get the mission file and copy the mod files to make DayZ, single player. Most other versions of the mod and the other maps have also been modified for single player use. Did any of this affect all those players saying "No!" to a single player feature/version of the stand alone? Fascinating. -

Yes, indeed! Thanks for clearing it up! -

odin_lowe replied to rayman672's topic in Suggestions
Anyone can have his opinion... lol Besides, having an option to play single player wouldn't hurt your gameplay at all. Ignoring this can only mean you have a better day in the end an avoided futile sources of annoyance.
