I have been out of dayz for a month and half now due to RL situation but i am wondering on the state of the loot tables. I just thought it strange to find an LRS sitting on a fridge in a random house just east of zelengorsk. Is this sort of thing the norm now and what other loot that was once rare is now popping up all over the place or in random spots.
-
Go figure i guess i have been unlucky having not seen one.. All i can say is hhmmm chicken.
-
Ah its an idea for a hero help survivour base then i see only 1 flaw in its location those needing help will be in the north east corner if they have made it all the way to the south west corner then i would assume they have found the supplies and have the skills to survive. But a noble intent beanz from me.
-
Was this in the SA or the mod? the mod has chickens but cant say i have seen or heard of any in SA that doesnt mean there not in but i have chucked alot of hours in recently and am yet to see them. As the saying goes video or it didnt happen ( yes video not pictures ,pictures are to easily faked as has been seen with a few wierdos coming showing pictures of items that are not in the game ( why anyone would spend so long in photoshop to make them god only knows but some of them have been done very well lol))
-
Hmm a viable choice there but um i aint telling you my ideas for a camping spot the whole intent of hiding your camping spot is so others dont find it! But personally id be focusing more on a natural location with water for drinking fishing good hunting locations thats not to far or to close to a medium sized town for general supplies and for these requirements there is a few good examples ill let you guess which one ill choose lol.

Were plans to expand the map canceled?
soulfirez replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
I think i recall something about an idea of transitions from 1 server to the next when crossing from 1 map to the next but it was a bold idea from a long time ago dont know if they seriously persued the idea or where just spitballing.. -
Hey it does give those trully dedicated Dayz medics an outfit to wear as it clearly stands out as a medics out fit. Those playing friendly /semi /friendly would likely give someone in this outfit a pass but yeah bandits would see it as a nice bright target. A true heroes outfit...

No one takes RP or Talk before shot serioust enough!
soulfirez replied to Atilimus's topic in General Discussion
Forget the camo he is carrying an sks with pu scope and has a mosin with a LRS on his back making him 1) a massive treasure chest to loot 2) being armed to the death usually(not always ) means out to kill people why have 2 primary guns a medium and long range if your playing the sweet friendly you dont need both for zeds.. Pretty much carry 2 rifles and your asking to be shot.. Cloths mean shit you dont kill people with cloths but all in all he is armed to go to war and then cries when the war comes to him ?? -
LOL looks cool but oh my good you might aswell turn ya mic on and run through berezino screaming shoot me i am friendly
-
I think he means very high gamma settings the items in your inventory are glowing which pretty much gives it away( ps if you have a very good pc why not play on high settings?? i get no performance boost lowering my settings as it would seem i am limited by server performance.

Vehicles and physics! How would you like to see them integrated?
soulfirez replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Dayz mod with better car handling physics atleast i hope. It would be nice to have some degree of damage modeling in both appearance and handling but i guess we will see what happens. PS the beamNG looks pretty cool i have played next car game and it is similar but not as realistic detailed as that lol. -
In a survival game with severely limited resources, WTF...
soulfirez replied to tootights (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Would it be nice if this game could have the best parts of every game going sure is it possible or going to happen NO. Come on you cant expect a game to have controls of a dedicated fight game like a UFC game not when it is already dealing heavily with firearms physics will be modeling heli flight accurately ( it is built on the take on helicopters version of the RV engine) has to deal with respawning zeds loot across a 225km map it just aint going to happen. At most i might expect them to put some sort of block in the game maybe a push and if extremely lucky a ready stance that lowers damage taken from hand to hand due to being ready for it.Anything else would be a bonus but hey guys if you think you can program the best parts of several genre of games into 1 game on a RV engine put ya hands up i am sure BIS will hire you... -
Yeah still cant see over your shoulders in 1pp servers...I need my 270 degree viewing arch way to paranoid to use this.

Is it just me or is weapon accuracy questionable?
soulfirez replied to evidica's topic in General Discussion
Yeah strange i seem to have good luck with the 357 once in a while i get to much dispersion with 1 shot but i have never needed more than 2 shots to drop even a fast moving zed ( well except for that one time i was half asleep and it scared the shit out of me and i basicly panic spray and prayed with magnum LOL). -
In a predicament - any sure fire way to orient oneself generally towards Chernarus?
soulfirez replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Good to hear you got yourself out of it . This maybe a reason they never stuck an auto run button in LOL been a couple times i have fallen asleep at the keyboard but when i wake ( as i dont jam my W key ) i am still where i was well except that one time when i was dead ( that bandit must have thought it was xmas with all the loot my 30 hour old character had.... -
(Exp) Respawning Loot and Basic Persistent Storage Patch
soulfirez replied to Etherious's topic in General Discussion
way back in the day when the whole perssitent talk started there original idea where backpacks that were persistent. I have been out of the loop of checking on progress on things what i want to know what happened to the idea of making lootable items such as the fridge they were showing early examples of them months ago but nothing since. -
DayZ Zombies, an attempt to diagnose the zed condition
soulfirez replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Hmm its been widely known for a while that the zeds are infected rather than the dead type but what i dont understand is how this infection makes some people hop like a frog cross dog thing??? Hey dont get me wrong i like the hoppers because of there low profile they are harder to spot and take you by surprise but they dont make much sense from an infected point of view. PS i still prefer the idea of actual undead style zeds as the lore can be anything you want no one can debunk it with science as its fictional supernatural plus it makes sense because if they were infected and 99% of people were infected outright( basicly reason there no mass graves police blocks etc as no time for any of that ( this is just a guess)) then the whole apoc be over in a few months due to starving out ( in once they have gotten all the people they can to eat they would starve out quickly as wild animals would be impossible to run down and attempting to would just lead to these infected dying out from starvation/dehydration much faster. -
Hmmm strange arma 2 arma 3 and dayz all had xbox360 controller support but it seems since last update it no longer recognizes a controller(well atleast not a 360 wireless one). I would upvote the bug i put on the tracker as it is a bug as game is listed as partial controller support(360 controller) its actually very easy to play this game via a controller for me i always found the best result was to use the games own inbuilt profile for it and then adding the other functions onto it via xpadder( made moving around so much smoother the transition form walk run sprint being merely push further on the thumb stick much smoother and more practical than hiting shift and doubleW. It seems the mouse acceleration has been changed but for a long time with the totally fucked negative acceleration Dayz had it was actually easier to aim with a controller than a mouse ( doesnt seem that way anymore though ) Yes i play dayz with a controller why because i play in my lounge sitting my old ass in my leather recliner chair kick back relax and watch it up on a 75 inch samsung 3d 200 htz tv, also once vehicles come in the controller makes piloting a chopper driving a car way better than keyboard and mouse and anyone trying to say other wise would be an idiot.(seriously for infantry controller K@M is better but for vehicles the controller is vastly better) I was always willing to loose the small amount in infantry fighting as it is generally CQB fights where you suffer with the lack of aiming speed a mouse has but then as most of my engagements are at distance via stealth it never troubled me much lol. EDIT damn checking the steam page again they have now removed the partial controller support seems it has been intentional back to K@B for me then damn it all going to hate when they put helicopters and cars in 8(...

Fraps FPS - Sniper - need help/suggestions
soulfirez replied to Re-Patch's topic in General Discussion
was it a revision 3 or 4 chip there seems to be better luck going round with the revision 4's( thats what i got ) . When you say on water do you mean a closed loop or a custom one?? i built my own water loop gets you way better cooling although if he has taken it to 1.475v heat hasnt been his trouble i managed 5.2 at 1.425v but started to get memory troubles at 5.3( started throwing out way to many errors).Did he try clocking individual cores as some of them may get higher which would still give him extra boost gaming. Hey i deserved some luck my 4770k wouldnt go past 4.6 my 3770k wouldnt go past 4.2!!!( yes i usually rebuild every year the flood just bumped up my schedule). No answer on if there has been optimization ( i have noticed the lower shadow state). I didnt think win8 600mhz and a slight upgrade in gpu( oh which i clocked alot harder than my old card as its the first time i have water cooled a gpu) would gain me many frames but it has.. -
Fraps FPS - Sniper - need help/suggestions
soulfirez replied to Re-Patch's topic in General Discussion
Does Dayz have a decent sli profile ( i hate sli due to all the problems i use to have in games without a good profile ,hence why i go over kill on the single card these days) I was actually going to ask has there been some optimization to the game?? ( asking as i have been away from forums game for 6 or 7 weeks due to a flood that destroyed alot of shit in my house including my pc. But thanks to insurance i am back in the saddle and i have seen some well large FPS gains not sure if it is improved parts or optimization or a little of both. Went from win7 pro to win 8.1 pro went from 17 4770k oc 4.5 to 4790k 0c 5.1( pretty much same chip but i think i won silicone lotto as i have more head room but like to keep voltage to no higer than 1.3) assus z87 to assus z97 mobo went from gtx titan to gtx titan black ( almost died when i enquired about the titan z holy mother fire truck) 16gb ram kingston beast 2400mhz ,went from 2.5 ssd to m2 ssd FPS before in open 80 to 85 small town 55 to 65 large city 38 to 42 problem cities( svetlo etc) 32 to 35, FPS now 115 to 130 in open 85 to 100 small town 50 to 60 large city ( havent tried out what were my problem spots yet to compare FPS nor have i seen the new super city in the north yet.. -
How difficult would you like the game to be?
soulfirez replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
But is that really why your shooting them ?? it cant be the case currently as well food is abundant i roll in a group of 6 to 8 guys and food is so common we carry packs full of it.. Maybe later on it will be the case but if you have a few bullets and no idea if the guy your going to shoot has any food in the first place why would you honestly do it ?? ( the canabilisim is a legit idea as he is the food) Actually think survival maybe this guy your going to shoot could help you raid the town you passed but couldnt loot as there were to many zeds to do it alone. Hey if you want to deathmatch thats fine everyone is allowed to play as they wish just if its deathmatching your after dont call it for survival when really your just getting ya jollies by ruining someone else day . I just get tired of guys saying one thing but actually meaning something else oh i shoot newspawns because they compeat for the same resources its survival hmm that could be true if its not the case that they just respawn and then there still there going for the same resources not to mention you likely just ruined all the resources that person had on them. Oh i see a guy with a gun there a threat so i take them out huh you saw them first and you shoot and there the threat??? i thought the threat would be the dozens of zeds that should come howling for your blood when you have let your boom stick of on some un suspecting sucker.. -
Ah many people have complained they have removed the loading sound when someone spawns in so i find this story a little strange..

soulfirez replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
True if they add canaibisim ( and if they make the game really hard eg canned food is miracle find then they should add it) then id say yeah legit tactic but if we cant eat people and its that hard to survive it most likely be a waste of a bullet as they wont be treasure chests as they are now... I guess we wait and see how far they push the game if it gets to that level i can say yeah i might resort to eating people if need be lol.. -
How difficult would you like the game to be?
soulfirez replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
Yeah but if the game was bone crushingly hard as you suggest you want then the zeds who will be drawn by your 300 meter bandit shot will most likely eat your ass. If you say ill shoot them out in the wilds away from zeds ( shouldnt really be anywhere to far away from zeds most of the pop should be zeds meaning hoards roaming all over the place) would your return for food survival have been better spent shooting a deer which will have more food on it than some other starving survivour. Oh sorry i forgot you want a hard realistic death match army game not a zombie survival one never mind carry on.. -
Do you want to see personal statistics on death? ex: Killer, kills, shots fired etc...
soulfirez replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
LOL with all the complaints about KoS and constant death matching you want to add something that premotes it?? not only premotes it but will encourage the lowest form of it eg hanging out at the coast shooting freshspawns cause this will be the easiest way of getting your player kills up. Probably the most ill thought useless idea i have heard to be honest.... The game is ment to be a survival game, granted its currently bindly easy to survive ,lets wait and see how hard it becomes( i am hoping pretty hard even if it does chase off many of the mainstream players already complaining zeds make it to hard to get going when really zeds are way to easy even glitched as they are. Only 1 stat matters to me and its one i can keep a track of myself and thats how long i survived, i dont need a stat to tell me the adventures i had because if they were good i remember them.....
