If you watched the video on the road map it is just what it sounds like time being accelerated eg 1 min real time is 2 min game time would be accel x2 and so on basicly they testing the idea of a day not taking an actual day i believe they might be trying it to get people to play at night if they know they wont be doing it for 10 hours...

Should we all start off with a pistol in Dayz Standalone?
soulfirez replied to Jossell's topic in General Discussion
If your going to turn the flashlight into a weapon ( i can roll with this) then i want it to break and be useless as a flashlight ( although not much of a punishment my most found items are discarded clothing with flashlights in them lol) As for guns at spawn hmmm let me think about this id say NO id put the idea after seeing what it did in the early days of the mod in the same category of bad ideas as drinking disinfectant in game to see if you can build up an immunity to it .... -
DayZ should always be about survival...
soulfirez replied to Mukaparska's topic in General Discussion
If some how you can run a defibrilator on a 9v battery it wouldnt be a huge jump to run a camera on one lol ... Although i think id stick to making traps to catch those sneaking in rather than high tech camera work but thats just me . A good trip wire connected to a home made grenade would give me all the warning i need and may render the attacker/ intruder in a state not needinga response from me other than come check if there is anything usable left on there body .. -
What do you think full modding support will do to DayZ
soulfirez replied to Jex's topic in General Discussion
LOL, your not very smart are you its relevance is to show how irelevant your opinions are specially when there based on watching videos oh and other opinions you think you rememember people saying.. Honestly pathetic ,but by all means continue jester you seem to love playing the fool... Ill leave you to it seeing now how does that saying go about not argueing with the a certain type of person as they will reduce you to there level and beat you with experience ( para phrased to not be deemed insulting). As for what modders will do for the game that really depends on the modders and there ideas of what Dayz is, and in the end if vanillia dies its not because of modders but because players let it die by not playing it.. So many people like to point the finger at someone else but not at themselves, modders mod out of love of the game they dont get paid there intentions are generally pure ( i said generally ) At the end of the day its coming moding has been confirmed officially several times now so as i said in an earlier post if you want to keep alive Dayz or the essence of what Dayz is play the servers that do that dont blame someone else if what you want goes belly up i mean if this thread is any indication there seems plenty who will want to play straight SA exclusively ( yeah we will see for how long though when all the new features start apearing in mods some good some great and probably some really bad and not in the spirit of dayz.... -
What do you think full modding support will do to DayZ
soulfirez replied to Jex's topic in General Discussion
Oh so seeing what modders can do on a similar rv engine has no relation to what modders would do and the speed they would do it to SA which at its core other than some of its server code is a rv engine game just like arma that isnt relevant.. Mate you shouldnt have started a thread about a topic you actually have no understanding in. If you dont know what i mean basicly stuff people have made for arma 3 or arma 2 could very VERY quickly be adapted to SA its not rocket science mate but just like the rest of your opinions there not really based in knoledge are they.... Edit you know what the biggest difference will be is that there will be far more cool mechanics already coded into the engine for modders to tie effects to allowing for more cool mechanics ( well thats dependant on the modders ideas of course. Sorry after modding for 10 years i just find it funny guys like you jester...(lets not forget the creator of the game is a self confessed modder of games not just arma ) -
yeah i post like i text message .. But have to say way to add to the topic didnt realize to was a thread on poor literacy skills... Mr 1 sentence paragraph man ...

soulfirez replied to Jex's topic in General Discussion
Hmm modding a dayz type game ( it was called dayz breaking point in arma 2 before the SA took legal right to the name Dayz) in a rv engine game is extremely relevant to the topic of modding the SA and what could be done, putting an opinion in based of watching a video is well of low very low value you do your own topic an injustice.(wow do you need to watch a video to under stand relevance ??) But then there has been alot of ill informed pitch fork waving crowd in the thread so far i guess a man/woman with sheep like qualities giving an opinion is hardly the worst.. -

True but when you form an opinion based off second rate methods do you think that makes your opinion important to the topic???? -
What do you think full modding support will do to DayZ
soulfirez replied to Jex's topic in General Discussion
You can rate things by importance can you or do you need a video thats edited to show what the video maker wants to show to decide for you ??? How ever you cut it a video is poor value to base an opinion on no substitute for experience.. I am free to make judgements on you as you are on me you post in a public forum free to be discussed and judged one way or the other sorry jexter or is that really jester maybe make a judgement on that aye... PS in my opinion epoch is the easiest and worst version of dayz thats just my opinion ( based off actually playing it and many other versions not watching a video or listening to others) but again you are basing things now not just off a video but what you think you rememeber someone saying wow man your just so informed its amazing LOL.... -

soulfirez replied to Jex's topic in General Discussion
LOL so you base an opinion of having watched someone else playing it damn your a politicians dream show you a flashy video and you will vote them in .. Always great to give an opinion when you have no experience personally to give just shows how informed you are lol.. -
well they could always implement a spawn timer that works like server hoping i wonder how many people will suicide over and over for a better spawn point or a can of beans over a can of drink etc when there waiting 5 minutes a throw after the second death they have ( eg not punished for dying in game but are punished for suiciding in a survival game!!! Id love a character background hell once i was in game and had sorted out the first drinks and had a meal i would read who i was before moving on. Hmmmm i am a mechanic ah so i get slight advantage when working on a car great not so good now i need to live before i can find car parts or oh i was a hunter cool i get slightly more meat from my kills of animals than the other starter characters awesome if i actually had a gun to hunt with lol.. But hey thats just me i like a little story and some pros and cons makes each play through /death a little different and again if suicide was heavily punished then people would get the picture and roll with who they got ( except race sex etc should not be random you choose that but cloths low starting gear background blood type all random....

The Zombies OP lol i have heard it all now they arent even a real challenge yet they need to fix a few issues with them like the wall clipping the spawn of them and make there awareness less glitchy ( eg seeing through walls make them so they can be snuck past ) I know they will address these issues and once they do i hope they pour them in MORE OF THEM savage group tear you to pieces like rabbid dogs. Its a survival horror game in a zed apoc they need to have effective zeds those complaining about zeds already are just at my best guess playing death match and the zeds are starting to get in the way of that GOOD maybe you will think twice before KoSing some poor sod who doesnt even know your there. PvP should be in game but it should have a reason and should be done with care and zeds in mind enough of the slow moving large map death match give me zombie survival..... Vote 1 for zed apoc in the dayz ellections not the the death match kos party...

Modders did not kill dayz players did lets be honest here these sort of servers came about because people wanted them they flocked to them... Some modders want to make the Dayz experience harder maybe add some features ( depends what the devs finish by release) will people play that maybe maybe not but i am still going to make it lol. You want vanillia to survive or the essence of dayz to survive easy vote with your server choice stick to the vanillia servers or the servers that have modded the game to add things that make it deeper game not an easier game. I hear screams of a rift in the community well guess what there already is one those who want to play pew pew with zeds and those who want to play survival in a world with zeds that requires some pew pew to protect yourself your base resources etc. Oh but all these people will go play the 1000 cars end gear load out on spawn servers well i say good to be quite frank they can go do that and fucken good riddence to them why cause there the ones hiding in a bush for hours to shoot anyone who walks past not loot them not rob them just to shoot them play pew pew. I enjoy a bit of PvP in Dayz but it is PvP that has meaning to it be it the desperate bandit the defender of your base fighting for the last fuel tank in the land etc not just teaming up and shooting anything that moves regardless of reason that is not Dayz to me and i dont want to play with that crowd. Ill be happy playing on my own private server running mods adding things i have modded that i believe add to the dayz experience with the difficulty cranked up will it be popular probably not but if i get to play with a good group of guys say 100 people over the 24 hours then it will be more than worth it to me to pay the costs of running the server, i will not give one shit about the 1 million players playing 24/7 1000 vehicles etc etc they can play there pew pew i want to play with dayz with people who want to play dayz that includes bandits survivours heroes etc who do what they do for a reason not for shitz and gigles of sniping etc... Stop pointing the finger at modders you as players killed Dayz you left good servers to play the diluted versions and never came back make a stand play servers that keep dayz alive even if pop goes low if you keep the lights on more will join .. People see a server with only a dozen people on they may join and try it out people see a server with no one and they go elsewhere keep the fucking lights on and own up in your OWN responsibilty for the death of true Dayz... -

soulfirez replied to captainvette2112's topic in General Discussion
been playing there games since OFP slower hmm maybe a llittle butt then its semi ambitous where most of there games have followed the same tried and true formula. If you think its slower because you just went through the arma 3 alpha i wouldnt have really called it an alpha it was more a mid beta by the time we got it day 1 and oh you know they only just finished the game even though its been gold for what 6 months so yeah they gott alot on there plates for a pretty small developer/publisher.. As for the 2 years part granted i would have thought they would have been further along on release day but lets not forget the original idea was to merely stabilize dayz the mod as dayz the standalone but they took a different path to rebuild sections of the engine to allow a much closer to the original intent of the mod in the SA ( namely a survival game not yet another death match shooter) They stated at release alpha was going to be a year long affair and your surprised at the development pace ( a year in ALPHA) sorry you are starting to sound like a jaded fan mate. They have been pretty transparent in the devel0opment in there schedule /progress from day 1 ( to fourth coming on rockets behalf i would say. But in the end if you not happy you can always play something else and come back in 6 months if itts a wash out you paid 30 dollars hell you pay more going to the movie theater so in the end if you lose you dont lose alot do you but the way people piss and moan its like life itself hinges on this. So many i am a developer types on this forum it amazes me how so many important people have time to play test a game in just come out of its first quater of alpha dedicated indeed.. -

Damn i havent been reading the news on dayz much in the last couple of weeks i knew they had bought a crew from a hunting game across to do animal zed AI (and hit box fixing) i didnt know it was the cabelea crew EPIC i so love there hunting games i cant count how many hours i have blown hunting in there games ( i prefer real hunting but with a young wife and a baby under 2 i get little to no time to hunt these days. Now i am really pumped for hunting in Dayz ill be hiding down wind with my meat bait out for wolves and pop my prey shall fall lol. As for the zeds now is not really the time to complain about them as they behaviour etc is just a place holder we all know that lets wait till they get them closer to what they want before making sweeping suggestions and out right complaints shall we ... -

Buys alpha game and complains about alpha state of the game oh my you have so much WIN in your life dont you .... ( but hey one day i do hope they put loot on zeds even if it gets ruined when i axe or shoot them it will give you a chance of getting something good for kill and it will make them seem like they were once human ,id actually like some to have a backpack like in BP (i would only make it the lowest level craftable backpack and never put anything of great value in them at best a lucky clip for a pistol etc.. -
Pretty much how i am hoping the implement these things persistant storage you die your persistant storage goes to ( or is moved so you dont know where it is) you build a base as a group as long as one of the memebers who built it are alive its fine the moment the last of the original owners die it starts to break down so over an hour or 2 its gone something along those lines. Its perma death make it actually perma death , give people reasons to survive in a survival game rather than respawn and continue the clan death match in a survival game. Will these ideas be popular amongst the death match crew honestly no but then do i care what you pew pew guys think nope...
-
yeah plenty of the early access games are placed on sale so that point is invalid. But i dont think it will go on sale for the very reason it is turning good steady sales at the pricce its at. It is up and around the top sellers list pretty much all the time they usually put on sale stuff where sales of said item have declined greatly and as of yet dayz is still selling well it has platuead and is coming down but not at a level i think they will bargain bin it already lol but who knows you may get lucky but i would bet not...

Thats right i am a no one but then what you supplied is not proof of who you are i am not trying to portray myself as some one i am not its worthless and its easy to be called out on as i am on you ( ps knowing the people who are in the know again doesnt mean you are one of them you just know the names wow i could rattle of the names of the dayz dev team and it doesnt make me a part of it now does it. Again if you are who you say you are what are you doinhg here talking with the plebs you would be better of on reddit talking direct to the developers with your vital information on what they are doing wrong. But oh wait your not doing that cause your full of it .. Buzz of lol i am a member of the community nothing less nothing more and i have every right to call them on the bull and if it turns out its not bull ( id bet money it is ) then again why are you not doing as i prescribed your experience and insight would do great wonders for the team oh wait you havent shown any yet just crying there should be logs i lost my character boo hoo seriously kid give up your not fooling anyone. Next dev please...
-
alot of trying to say who you are but no photo of proof i can say i am the priminister of australia doesnt make it so.. Again with so much experience and qualifications why can you not grasp the simple explanation i gave you . Basicly i call bull and your speaking alot of it mister co founder of your mothers basement.... As for sticking it where the sun dont shine lol again your advice your most welcome to take yourself now if you have finished playing pretend how about real adults talk about the issues and the good things ( good knows this game has issues by the bag full it is alpha and kid its far from the worst alpha i have taken part in..)
-
oh another developer then is it lol so surely you must understand then if you log into a server that is not configured to connect with the hive then the devs will not have logs that only the server provider and by thus the admin may have access to the log created .. Oh wait you dont or you would have started this trollish witch hunt. What i hear is a self entitled kid playing grown up and lying about his qualifications... by all means prove me wrong take a pic with your degree and post it here i have one to ( granted in engineering and it was recieved from a military university so to some may seem a lesser importance lol , but it has seen me in good shape through my adult life hope one day you can have an adult life to :facepalm:
-
pompus much?? your experience is what having been in some alphas before brilliant oh wise one what exactly is your degree in ??
-
Hmm you should take your own advice there kid...
-
The logs would be only on the server as i mentioned many of these servers do not connect to the hive properly (thankfully they are becoming less and less due to them finally setting servers up properly still its a safer bet to connect to an official sounding server eg example name uk1-23 villiyar serveretc rather than billy bobs awesome dayz 24/7 day server... Again if you didnt have the forsight to read the disclaimer before purchasing or every time you log into the game by clicking i understand then maybe you should go back to high school and gain a little education in comprehension ... So if you lost your character to a dodgy server or due to stupidity by trying to play while the hive was down for maintenance you need to direct your misguided rage elsewhere not the developers.. Your a prime example of how a little knoledge but not being able to apply it is a dangerous thing....
-
Yeah all i can say to you is lolz at u, oh you lost your gear didums do they need to send you a lolipop and kiss your boo boo to make it all better. Honestly can you prove you werent killed on log out 30 seconds doesnt sound like much but i can fire a few bullets in that time and zeds can easily eat you in that time not to mention most of the lost characters have been from logging into dodgy servers that dont connect to the hive properly guess what if you log into one of those high chance to loose your character and there would be no log because they havent connected to the hive properly... PS i hope you enjoy your own game development and care enough about your customers to satisfy every cry baby who has a problem with your game while in alpha after you have told them not to buy and make them click a i understand button ( i understand its alpha has bugs may cause interuptions to play etc) everytime you log in. Brains i really think some people here got paper weights instead..
