Wait what the new experimental patch is ment to be hard?? strange about the only thing i cant find are tac vests. No i am not a bandit i wear the bandana like that as its an extra slot to carry rags basicly i wear the boonie hat as its extra slot to carry fishing hook ( i like fishing!) and i wear military boots as an extra slot to carry a mil knife ( but thats another thing i have not been able to find.) Still to easy but hey its moving the right direction i say bring on disease hyperthermia crank up zed numbers crank even lower food spawns and let me taste the tears of the whiners on the forum...

soulfirez replied to t1337dude's topic in General Discussion
Never happens to cool people...... Seriously though pretty well known bug i guess its a good way of pointing out the noobish crazed click attack players ,havent suffered it yet with my slow methodical actually aim and click method im sure ill get it sooner or later though.... -
What is with fridays bringing out the loonies.... Dont want to deal with bugs come back some time mid beta perhaps if you want solid PvP now ( though it seems semi solid to me in Dayz now) try some arma or maybe some battlefield or cod perhaps( you wont have to eat and drink or waste time finding your guns.) Meh not sure why i bothered to reply wasnt really worth the effort...

How else without changelogs can we debunk the oh so common complaint nothing has changed in 8 months ya da ya da. Although i almost exclusively play experimental these days( when its up) That has no change logs guess that makes me a dick ??? Is being a Dick a good thing these days how confusing the lingo is now i always thought being a Dick was a bad thing?? Only thing i am sure of after reading this is the OP is definately a Dick...

1 shot to a zed pretty much anywhere that i have shot has been death to a zed. As for players havent had enough chances to test much only shot 1 person with shotgun was inside 10 feet and they were medium geared( had most everything but had no vest ) and they didnt die but they did you out cold from a slug to upper body..

Ah any path that hasnt been traveled by to many guys yet. Honestly looting is a complete lottery never know what will be a good path . On saying that i am quite partial to the western corridor though zelengorsk green mountain up to the mil base below vybor then vybor itself , followed by a stomach wrenching charge through the NWAF lol which in my experience is either no players loaded with fighting players or even more dangerous the capital of server hopping where people are blinking in usually behind were you have just searched.... Really though with police stations in most towns any path can be a great loot path ( make sure to check the wrecked jeeeps at some police stations they spawn ak101's and akm's quite often...

Good on you for being nice have my beans. But in all honesty your lucky you walked away from the coast with you life , hey keep doing it maybe if 1 of the guys you gave stuff to does it in return and so on and so maybe the culture of dont trust anyone might change a little, just a little. But i dont think so lol to many have played to many years of competative FPS games its inground into there brain player shoot , must shoot player player player. Hey come to think of it there are alot of zeds in this game we are the hordes of zeds and the zeds are actually the players...

yeah at this point i kinda think we have enough towns if they want to add more i feel the map would need to be added onto to make it bigger and that is no small task. Honestly i would prefer if they spent a little more time making what towns we have a little more original. Change some of the external textures to make them look like a different house do the same for inside including changing the internal model (eg furntiure ) so it feels like we are going into a different house . So maybe make a half dozen atleast variations of each of the houses we already have( yeah i know alot of work but honestly i think that would add immersion more than more of the same town in another area. Add a few more completely original buildings( they have done a few of late great start) and maybe add a few distinct land marks such as one off statues different versions of the fountain . Dig in and see if you can get the underground working, a nice sewer system or underground caves a few new buildings with basements , man hole covers to get into the sewer. Add some houses that look like they have been barricaded and broken into ( this may help as cover a little when actual barricading comes in so the moment you see a boarded window you dont yes player base.. So basicly improve work on what you already have to give it more life ( i find the towns a little sterile)
-
Often thought this myself in regards to thinning it out a little and thus using the same cpu draw by spreading it over a larger range. Not sure if the AI can still see through it or not as i have mostly given up on the stealth idea with zeds currently ( i have to often been caught prone in a situation where i never saw the zed coming but they saw me exagerated further by the fact zeds make alot less noise now almost no groans at all..) Edit Yeah beef and bacon there has been the sinking players into the ground when viewed from range its not perfect but it does help ( though it requires a larger more detailed ground texture to really make the effect work half decent.)
-
300 people on this sized map WAY to many people there is ment to be a feeling of isolation it is a zed apoc after all where 99% of people have ment to have died/been infected. With that many people the game would be a constant utter death match with guns going off ever where you turned.. Guess some people would like that but meh id be happy at 100 even then hiding your base will be hard so much traffic wandering through the woods to find ya shit lol..
-
Yeah i have to say most of the trades i have done have been metagamed ( eg set up on these forums which adds trust in that if they cross you then it will get posted and no one would trust them again. I have managed only 1 in game stranger trade ( and i have tried plenty of times but they end with me shooting them for being dodgy or them shooting me to get the goods lol maybe i have just been unlucky. But with barricading and word of mouth a trade area in game could be made policed by players and raided by players many good rp and PvP chances if people are willing to do a little work(( the fun kind of work )

This is a far better explanation lol i guess i am just to lazy to go into any depth.. beanz

Is DayZ going to have microtransactions/DLC?
soulfirez replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Yeah i pretty much stated this about BIS there generally not big on the small dlc idea usually going for expansion packs on games with a decent chunk of new content ( again usually everyone gets this content to buy or not just the non buying get lower res textures etc.) In the day an age of money hungry rip off merchant developers/publishers BIS is one of the few good guys and it shows in there support of modding. Many companies /games pay lip service to modding support a classic one to me being a long time modder of the total war series is Rome2 the quoted most moddable TW yet where infact it is the least moddable and what you can mod keeps getting cut every time they put out another DLC package. But never forget they are still a business they are out to make money and rightfully so no coin no future games so i dont mind if they make money from server rental its the way of the world really. I just find it interesting that someone paid 30 $ for a game( very cheap really ) and doesnt want to pay 1 cent more EVER even if it will add greater depth or re playability to the game. There are money hungry publishers and there are down right cheap skate gamers ( often pirating games to boot.) -
I cant see any set currency working this really isnt fallout where people will accept bottle caps for things of value. Id say trade will and has already happened ( check out the trade thread) but it will go more along the lines of trading what they want for what you want (eg i got an extra LRS, oh i have a extra protector case want to trade, hmm throw in a bag rice you got a deal sort of thing. Many of the items you mentioned will and could be used for trade when the person your trading with needs wants those things...

Is DayZ going to have microtransactions/DLC?
soulfirez replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
AH so let me get this straight you would like them to continue indefinately patching in new maps etc and do it all for free ( personally ill be looking to modders for maps , i dont mod maps they take t long have done a few buildings and such though lol) You dont run a business do you ??? Welcome to the world of business where you very rarely get something for nothing ( and with bis you often do just downgraded so it doesnt split the community but still entices you to buy them lol.. -
Went AFK to Poop and Character was missing gear when I came back
soulfirez replied to t1337dude's topic in General Discussion
Id hardly call people who use auto run while AFK cool, Id call them target practice ..... -
The Good the idea of dayz The bad how people still think its cod with griefing lol The ugly the community everytime the devs do something that hinders there pvp ( like speed up zeds or make movement a little hard in a bid to make it more like how real people move..
-
hmm lets just leave it at you think its just PvP shall we. Oh but for your example how about dayz mod in i think it was may 2012 when they made zeds so fast and hard hitting that all the wimpy little bitches complained it was to tough to get started that even armed they were getting killed and the big one was they couldnt pvp because zeds kept killing them. Sadly they slowed them down made them hit softer and the pvp fest continued lol why because to many people complained.....

So whats every one gonna build/fortify when all that gets added?
soulfirez replied to Sirwarriant12's topic in General Discussion
LOL i have fallen victim to this actually .had a pig run past me in the woods on the edge of a town i stopped and watched it bolting and thought wierd .. Didnt see the 5 zeds that had been chasing it and now attacked me being closer with my back turned to them.. -

Is DayZ going to have microtransactions/DLC?
soulfirez replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
This is quite likely to happen in the SA they dont really have any control over such matters. There is a simple solution though dont play on servers that do this support ones that leave a level playing ground and stay true to the spirit of Dayz. You have the control over this sort of thing happening or not... -
Yeah i dont mind that minus the player kill stat we dont really need anything more to premote player killing i can see the Epeen crowd now sitting in known spawn areas killing freshspawns flat out so they can post pictures of there UBER high player kill count..... But the time lived ,distance travelled etc maybe animals hunted etc might be cool but i can take it or leave it really ..

Ah open world sand box game the end game( where classically there is no end game really so to speak) is what ever you want it to be. End game can be building a base or barricading a town with a clan making it a safe haven for survivours it could be an endless banditry method of kill untill you get killed or trying to infiltrate those who have built safe havens and burning them down letting zeds in etc. Hell try to get a brutal civilisation going like say barter town in mad max 3 and have your own thunder dome lol . If you have no vision no imagination then yeah i guess there is no end game but with a little thought on your behalf or those you play with you could come up with some cool ideas. End game comes when you get that message you are dead what you do before that is completely up to you ....

Oh not to mention there open plan for modding kinda negates many of the possibilities for the cheap money grabbing micro transactions and small dlc.
