Where can I find a press vest these days?
soulfirez replied to aquamonkey's topic in General Discussion
Ah yes but you said tactical vest and there was a tactical vest which as that guy pointed out was removed from the spawn early in the year(shame it was a good protective/storage vest but suffered some clipping issues.(edit i think it had something to do with being an asset from arma 3 and as they have different models/skeletons it never fit quite right.) -
The new running animation, Why?
soulfirez replied to GriefSlicer (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Nice meme but i think it would have been better suited to expressing the reaction of members of the community to mechanics ( eg what i have to worry about cold now WTF or i cant 360 no scope headshot WTF I cant get my fully kitted m4 in 30 minutes anymore WTF etc etc seems to fit the reaction of many posters in facial expression and dare i say maturity level) As for the new animation it does seem a little sloppy but it does sort of fit the run of someone exhausted and carrying to much weight so i can hope that there adding a stage of exhaustion system backed with changing animations ( but then most people here believe its fine to run as fast as a track and field sprinter with perfect form while carrying 40 kg of weapons,food and other gear.... -
This although i dont know how rare they are as i have found quite a few in the last week.(9 in total thats what i call quite a few thought id put the number to it as that maybe a low number to you ). But yeah all of them were sunk half way into the ground. My most frequent finding of them is in front or rear of apartment buildings ( guess they had lots of criminal activity in those slum towers lol )

Sticking with DayZ? Or jumping ship when something better comes out?
soulfirez replied to Aussie Connor's topic in General Discussion
Considering i have played Dayz since may of 2012 it is a high chance that ill continue to play it. On saying that there are some interesting alternatives in the making. H1Z1 from what i have seen thus far on youtube doesnt strike me as being the experience id like but then its early development so ill reserve judgement until actually playing it. I find from early viewing of survive the night something far closer to what i might enjoy but again early development so purely speculation, again ill need to play it to know if i would enjoy it . So my obvious answer is ill play them all for atleast long enough to decide for myself ( rather than on hype advertising or other method scream oh but this game looks way better than Dayz , a cry i have seen a little to often on these forums specially when encountered with mechanics certain people havent enjoyed as much( which is the right not to enjoy any given mechanic but to exclaim something else is better before they have even tried something is absurd..... -
Hmmm i am rather torn on this whole idea, on 1 hand Diarrhea is a very big potential killer in a survival situation and an extremely common side effect of bacteria from unhealthy practices. On the other hand i dont really want to see human waste being used in some sort of sick grief tool . So i guess yes i want it in game in a manner that doesnt have the waste as an actual lootable or visible substance but does in some way (be it animation with no visual waste) portray the effects of Diarrhea, i mean we already have vomiting in game ( and of note i have never seen a video of anyone taking a captive and then over eating/drinking to induce vomiting in themselves onto said victim thankfully) TL'DR yes in as abstract way as the devs can portray the effects of it rather than act of it itself..

DayZ Experimental - Episode 3 - Don't Trust Australians
soulfirez replied to ForsakenSpirit (DayZ)'s topic in Gallery
Maybe your right if i saw how you normally played i might trust you . Its hard from a short video of well action ( obvious you dont put up a video of normal play it wouldnt be all that interesting. Seeing as i am one of those weird players who stalks people to watch ( i have often spent 40 min or more tailing a group to see what they do , Its exciting/scary trying not to be seen and then you usually get to see the truth of there gaming style. I stalk single players also and then from behind declare myself in hopes of some interaction possible trade, and yes i will shoot them if they act suspicious. playing first person servers it gets intense stalking people when you loose sight of them ,do you move up to try re spot them in risk of being seen do you retreat to higher ground to try to re spot them in risk of losing them completely. I dont play a hero but i dont play bandit either, just a carefull surviver . -
DayZ Experimental - Episode 3 - Don't Trust Australians
soulfirez replied to ForsakenSpirit (DayZ)'s topic in Gallery
Seriously i am not upset . I just call them as i see them, you killed freshies because of alot of if's maybes and could haves. Not saying you were wrong to do it just saying your not trust worthy but again its Dayz do you really trust anyone that you dont know well??? -
Is This A Mechanic Or A Bug? Bone Condition Death...
soulfirez replied to jacobahalls's topic in General Discussion
what ?? are you saying that 7 hits to the chest with a pipe wrench shouldn't kill you ?? i hope not, because i could easily shatter your rib cage driving your ribs into your lungs causing you to die quite horribly with a pipe wrench the size of the one in game(and thats counting the first couple strikes you would defend with your arms and having them shattered. Damn seriously the game as it stands is very forgiving of injuries and super easy to heal , but then it is a game i dont expect it to make it take months to recover from broken legs etc or everyone would just suicide after the first inury .. -

Why are there still awkward animations that cannot be canceled?
soulfirez replied to Surefire187's topic in General Discussion
Hmm its not something i have encountered ( i am not saying it doesnt i believe you not everyones experience in game is the same i am one of the few people that was getting the vybor underware spawn before the hot patch when most had no troubles at all) I wonder what causes that ?? honestly i thought it was a complaint on the overly slow movement when you draw the weapon( like i say its slower than a normal person would need to move to draw something off there back so i thought the OP was just speaking in hyperbole on the issue. -
Why are there still awkward animations that cannot be canceled?
soulfirez replied to Surefire187's topic in General Discussion
Very strange i just went in game then and tried drawing my axe and guess what i didnt stop moving i went from full sprint to about walking speed.. same when i drew my sks my sawn of shot gun and my .357. Have to ask is anyone else coming to a full stop when drawing weapons???? -
Why are there still awkward animations that cannot be canceled?
soulfirez replied to Surefire187's topic in General Discussion
Ah so you suffering desync/ server lag yeah that can be a problem ( i assume you also suffer this when trying to draw a weapon using the hotbar?) this would seem the problem rather than the animations themselves( triggering it by using esc would make little difference in regards to waiting on the server to register the cancel action but would stop you from getting caught in a loop, although esc drops any menus and the cancel action can be done while in inventory etc so you would need to double esc for it to take effect if you were in your inventory. Server lag is a common issue in online games but does effect dayz far worse than most due to the huge amount of item verification pings the server /client send back and fourth ( a problem you dont have in many online fps games like battlefield cod etc as there is few items to be classed in inventory. all i can say is they spoke of going to a single item check system (not sure if they have already but if they have it hasnt had as a positive effect as it should on this issue. -
Why are there still awkward animations that cannot be canceled?
soulfirez replied to Surefire187's topic in General Discussion
Which animations cant be cancelled? havent tried them all but you can stop eating drinking bandaging when danger comes close.. SO which animations are giving you a problem ??? You dont completely stop when drawing an axe from your back you slow down (maybe you slow down a little to much perhaps but its far more realistic than full sprint pulling a weapon slung over your back into your hands. Try it it out in real life sling a weapon over your back and then at full sprint trying getting it into your hands ( you wont do it at full sprint you will slow down to do it because if your not pumping your arms your not at full sprint are you ? I am sure you will manage it at a faster speed than portrayed in game so they could perhaps add some speed to movement pace at this but its hardly a rant issue... -
3pp had a place in arma , it was for the easiest difficulty levels to give new players a chance to learn the game. It allowed much easier control of units beneath your command. This was ok for single player or groups playing AI missions. It made sense as OFP /arma had quite a learning curve for those who had just played standard shooters. The game was never really intended for mass online PvP just look how terrible the netcode is/was ,more for missions to simulate fireteam operations. But now we have moved on and it has become a serious PvP game(both arma and dayz) and thats where the legacy of 3pp falls down as it removes many of the realistic tactics of a fire fight and replaces it with well more gamey techniques to gain victory. Some like it that way i dont but each to there own i guess. I just keeping playing first person and hope many others will to , it only dies if we let it die.

No the epitome of arrogance is trying to justify breaking the rules of a game on grounds that people arent playing the way you want them to when they are playing in a manner allowed ( even if it is an asshole way to play ) We shall go back to golf, if the club you played at had a rule about leaving a game during play would you leave the game? If it was enforced with penalty as it is with dayz( even if it is a very light one of having your character stay so those playing can kill and rob your body anyway) would you keep playing golf?? You run into people who play a way you dont like run from the combat and when you have lost them log out by all means and go elsewhere or take your death as intended by the devs and then go elsewhere. There is no real reason to combat log, nothing you have said was a valid reason, it can all be dealt with another way. I have to ask are you really that bad at the game that you get often caught by these types of players?? 225km2 is alot of room to avoid players..
-
Sorry man this comment is really just dumb... Dayz is a game made up with what you might call drunken idiots in golf.. it is a play style that is allowed and actively even encouraged with the mechanics in game. I realize this and thus adapt my play style to counter this. If while golfing it was the norm even at the top levels to play like a drunken yobo would you still play golf?? well thats what your doing here and instead of adapting you decide to break the rules and stamp your feet and like a child say i am going home with my bat and ball. Not to mention your using a come back that equates to i know you are what am i (the usual response of children in my day when being called a name. I have been playing Dayz since may 2012 i have come to accept what can and will happen in dayz and i am willing to play it warts and all , my way within the rules, not spit the dummy because people aren't up to your high standards . Thats what your doing mate its not actually being mature its being imature because your expecting people to play a sandbox game in a way that meets your standards(this isnt golf there isnt a dress code there isnt many in the way of rules no cheat /hacking or exploiting thats it. I can live with that and as such i am happy to play dayz you cant accept it ,the players are to childish for you LOL.
-
I can understand that but your going to run into them on pretty much every server (maybe when private hives come in you may find what your looking for). They may be playing like assholes but they are playing how they are allowed to ( no i don't like bambi killing but it isn't against the rules ,you cant kick players for doing it in a public server. Put it this way you dont like getting punched in the face yes??? well if you dont like getting punched in the face you dont go into the sport of boxing. If you do enter a boxing match and you jump out of the ring to not be punched your disqualified...( you dont want to be griefed or KoSed probably best not to play Dayz OR BECOME MORE STEALTHY so people dont see you to do evil stuff to you....... So again ask yourself are you playing the right game for you ?? maybe its better to not play until private hives come along then you might find a server that caters more to your play style( i always prefered well run private hives but that was a personal choice of mine).Or again get better at the game so you not encountering people to kill you.. You are probably a really nice guy/lady in real life, but as far as the game Dayz goes what people are doing to you is allowed , what your doing is not if this was golf your the asshole who plays through on someone elses hole with no asking no calling 4 when playing his shot and pretty much just not giving a fuck, and saying well i pay my membership fees ill play how i like...
-
Finally something semi rational.... Problem with the logic here though is golf and Dayz are very different games. One has a certain code of ethics a dress standard and is to be played USUALLY fairly seriously the other is a video game which as pointed out has actively had mechanics put in it to allow people to do evil stuff to you ( why did they put handcuffing in or bagging peoples heads and force feeding them if they didnt allow or by extension even intend for assholes to play happily in a griefing manner??Again not my cup of tea but its there for a reason.. Again for those who use voice chat to demean you it is a simple matter of turn volume off and then taking your death as death is i am afraid a part of playing this game.. Now combat logging is against the intended methods of playing the game hence why the devs put in the log out timer for your body so you couldnt cheat death as easily by doing it, so you are in effect breaking one of the very few rules of the game as outlined in the devs intentions. What happens at a nice golf club when you break the rules???? They ask you politely to leave ( or less than politely depending on how severe you break the rules. So at the end of the day you have to ask yourself are you playing the right game for you ?? KoS is always going to be there people are going to be assholes its what people do, and at the end of the day your going to continue to break the rules of the game ( in what really amounts to exploiting granted at a fairly low level its not like your duping or actively seeking to ruin the game but you are doing an action unintended by the devs, when people are doing to you what actually is intended and catered for by the devs(minus the verbal abuse).
-
Ah where was your rebuttal of all my points oh thats right you didnt have any just a twerpy oh you can leave if your going to throw temper tantrums at people combat logging( which as i pointed out i dont) Pathetic mate try standing to your own ideals or do you need to be hypercritical to go with just being of plain weak character. But hey thanks for the compliment i am rather manly (well atleast my wife thinks so personally i think i am a hairy gorilla but thats for another topic.)
-
I dont throw a temper tantrum when people combat log because i dont play a KoS style i play to survive so if they log i am fine with it ( most likely i didnt initiate the combat in the first place), there is no kill death ratio so if i get the kill or dont matters ZERO, only that i walk or run as the case maybe away alive. SO we back to you being the only bum hurt person again, it ok specially little johnny your mummy still loves you .. You can keep talking your lame shit but at the end of the day all it does is speak volumes to the strength of your moral character which is very weak i really hope your young very young because if your an adult with such weak character man what a shame..
-
Seriously are you 12?? are you in control of all your mental faculties??? So if your a fresh spawn and have nothing to loose why log? Why not charge the guy trying to shoot you, maybe you knock them out maybe you die but you have lost nothing. Or you could run the thrill of bullets wizzing past you ,ya know try to survive in a survival game novel idea isn't it actually playing trying to survive...... If you get the sickos who like to talk shit when they have held you up (the whole rape thing and any thing else you find offensive) turn your audio off and do everything you can to escape or kill them , likely outcome you will die very quickly but if you were unlucky enough ( or usually bad enough at playing ) to have gotten caught in a situation like that your going to die anyway so nothing lost there. Really you have come out with some rather non logical bull to justify combat logging and there is no reason to ... Sure it sucks people shoot at fresh spawns but thats allowed in the game, there playing the game , they may not be playing it the way you like but its allowed. As its already been stated devs have made steps to stop combat logging (thats the reason there is a log out time where your character stays in game after you have left ) its not there intent for you to log out cause your special little johnny and your mummy told if you cant play nice dont play at all.. People being assholes is allowed hell some might say it is catered for why do they have things like putting bags over peoples heads force feeding if they didn't intend to allow for people to play the evil side of humanity (its not how i like to play but its available and people seem to like doing it.) Really if you feel the need to combat log maybe you need to log out long term ,perhaps return when your mature enough to handle dying because at the end of the day it is just a game there only killing pixels on a screen the bum hurt emotions are all yours....
-
No its not rediculous because those against combat logging are actually playing the game were as your avoiding a major portion of the game by combat logging, so why play at all if you dont want to play with or against all legit styles of play (heroes bandits KoSers griefers medics yolo,s etc etc all fine to play as cause there actually playing) I read your other post to ,damn man you tell people to think about something for a second but in your post you advocate exploiting game bugs and mechanics !Really man did you actually think about what you said for a second before dropping your load. And now you have said you know the devs have done something about combat logging but its not good enough ( that may be true) but knowing they dont intend you to combat log and yet you continue to do it your again exploiting( you do know the definition of an exploit dont you i wonder with some of the absurd garbage you have been spouting.) You can play the game any way you want short of cheating/hacking or exploiting, really anything else is up to you how you do it..

Increase Chernarus size with the new engine.

hey dont give up hope they said they werent going to go to dx11 but they are now ! Its not the first time they said they would or wouldnt do something and then changed there mind. -
Increase Chernarus size with the new engine.
soulfirez replied to TiredMiner's topic in General Discussion
Huh when did they say it was engine limitations for the reason for not expanding the map ??I ask because i dont see it being an engine limitation as there are plenty of fan made much larger maps running on arma 2. Its more likely the fact it would be an enormous amount of work to extend the map and that as it is now so little of the map is used any way. Dont get me wrong id love them to tack on another 2km north and 2km west but the only expansion they have spoken of doing to the map is adding a large island in the ocean to the south. But hey you can dream as much as you want... -
DayZ Experimental - Episode 3 - Don't Trust Australians
soulfirez replied to ForsakenSpirit (DayZ)'s topic in Gallery
LOL hardly upset just by your own video evidence it seems to be more of a case of dont trust you guys(but then many people in dayz say dont trust anyone) But you can hardly throw the word trust around while showing you shoot a guy in the head you have acted friendly with then 2 fresh spawns its kinda hypercritical. But upset this is dayz death can find any nationality at any time , i just call them as i see them. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck ,talks like a duck then its likely its a duck......
