I Love a Good Game of Inventory Tetris But It Is Missing One Thing
soulfirez replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
No thanks the whole system is ment to take time built on being authentic ya now having to manually load clips with bullets etc PLEASE NO STREAM LINING IN DAYZ -
there already is an arma 3 dayz mod its called breaking point( cant use dayz anymore as a name its owned by BIS rocket) it was for arma 2 dayz breaking point.. Try it out its pretty good there things in it wish would hit SA such as arma 3 stances lol but then imiss the nice little touches of SA. PS good post wont help but well thought out...

Thank god there are still people like you seeking interaction... Cant tell a bandit without seeing them kill loot someone or having an interaction with them.. You sound the closest i have heard to a hero here mate beans i am sure you shot some people who werent a bandit but if interact and shoot based off feeling cant really ask for more than that......
-
Exactly right its seems in Dayz that bandit=KOS hell i have tried to fight this but sadly i have joined those who say bandit and mean KOS killer. PS how people identify bandits/KOS they generally dont they just shoot being KOS bandits themselves but say yeah another bandit down cause they want to feel there the good guys saving things rather than they are just the same.. Or my favorite bandit give aways hmm cammo MUST be bandit bang bang. He is carrying a gun in his hands MUST be bandit. carries axe while killing zeds look axe maniac...

Best way to allow the ability to carry multiple primary weapons.
soulfirez replied to Slyguy65's topic in General Discussion
do we need more than 1 primary ???? Are you planning to go to war against a whole bandit group alone??? i guess i wouldnt mind the idea as much when the stamina system comes in (weight plus health equals stamina) then you would get a decent enough penalty to make it fit the risk reward idea... -
spawn delay is nice, but 300 seconds is way too long
soulfirez replied to bioned's topic in General Discussion
It can jump straight to 5 min with 1 rejoin (dont know why ) but usually when i get a server reset i get a wait time of 9 seconds its ment to and usually works in the more you jump it increases up to 5 min... -
so you gather 40 friendlies together to kill the maybe 250 zeds in the game?? thats like 1 for every square km wow doesnt sound exciting just yet ... Maybe interesting when there thousands of them with hordes and they respawn but as it stands i just cant see the fun???

We NEED some way to identify heros and bandits.
soulfirez replied to 1S1K-Airborne's topic in General Discussion
brutal maybe a touch harsh but accurate. So what he really wants to do is make this battle field ya know 2 teams fighting each other the bad guys have a red symbol so there easy to spot and kill.. When i want to play battlefield ill play battlefield thanks ( hey i like the game its a very different experience to dayz to but anyone calling it realistic would be crazy.... As for the guy with the dictionary yeah noble deeds and whats ya point if you play hero as it stands you can do noble deeds its just harder.... Welcome to Dayz a game thats ment to be authentic and HARD.. You choose to play hero well done you have chosen the hardest difficulty your among the elite i play survivour i try to live( no that dont mean i KOS everything that moves) id call that medium and some choose to play the bandit yeah i call that the easiest level of game play ... You want to be hero play a hero but thats not what you want you want to KOS as much as a bandit be honest thats why you want them to have an arm band so you know who to shoot... -
Logged in Dead - no fights - no zombies - no server hopping
soulfirez replied to Ankhenaten's topic in General Discussion
not a great or safe place to log out or into honestly i am not surprised you died .. 7 people on server yeah and 2 or 3 of them where probably at the airfield the rest on the coast.... I say that from experience have died there i did a run from neaf to stary(all towns in between ) the little base there hit the Nwaf then was tired logged out where you were next day logged in 30 people on server and soon as i moved i heard reloading bang dead.. we live we learn lol -
who shot me at the shipwreck north of berezino yesterday?
soulfirez replied to brumey's topic in General Discussion
LOL you think a guy sitting on a high watch point where fairly fresh people run to get gear, armed with a bag full of ammo was a hero??? no wonder next to no one likes your idea..... -
hmmm yeah right it will be fixed then will it ??? how fast do you think loot will respawn??? it take what 5 min to server jump so what do they need to set loot to respawn in less than 5 minutes..... they jump for the quickest loot to speed there then coming deathmatch (usually bambi killing on the coast why cause this is where the most people are they didnt want to wait for loot ya think they will wait for players no they will go where they get the fastest kills. 1 server 1 character private hive style is only thing that stops these people jumping the loot not respawning is just an excuse they use..... If rocket makes loot respawn in less than hour it will kill survival element of game.. Yay so what we going to end up with a BF game on a larger map with either server hoppers or loot farmers if it quick respawn ...

who shot me at the shipwreck north of berezino yesterday?
soulfirez replied to brumey's topic in General Discussion
ive pulled a mosin there once in god knows how many times i have searched it.. Um to the OP 1200 bullets in bundles of 20 what where you full of ammo boxes why did you have the ammo and sitting in high location thats popular for newer spawns to run to after berez??? i use a mosin myself if i saw you in location like that id pull the trigger to..... Lucky i stay inland and use my gun (when i have an LRS which i cant bloody find anymore) to scope towns not camp and sniper people...( oh and to overwatch the guys i play with ;) -
Frame rate drop in Berezino & Guba
soulfirez replied to DirtyscumbagLith's topic in General Discussion
the memory leak has been fixed yes (damn the game feels much smoother again ) but for me and my rig guba bay (the city there i cant spell) is my worst location for FPS the next worst is the apartments over cherno.. cherno apartments 39 to 41 frames guba bay 33 to 35 frames cherno/electro 43 to 46 small towns 49 to 56 wilderness 68 to 85 ( no idea why i get such huge varaition here its usually closer to the 80 but some spots i drop 20 frames Edit this is with .35 patch -
On that i agree it probably shouldnt have been called hardcore.... The only reasoning i can think of and this is pure speculation is the title makes people want to try it (met very few Dayz players who didnt think they were a little hardcore for playing Dayz in the first place) The part thats not speculation is the dev team feel it has the best immersion value so like i say the hyped name is a ploy to get you to play it the way they wanted you to play it ( they would never get rid of 3pp to many people are use to and enjoy playing in that view it wouldnt make sense financially to upset the majority of your player base as 3pp is was and probably always will be the most popular way to play . But i for one am happy to be playing in um first person...

lol i feel your pain i have dedicated 8 days now to finding a LRS found 3 press vests 4 pu scopes 7 acog scopes all useless to me (dont like the press vest personally). did find a silencer and red dot for my fnx though which was nice.... I have offered people all sorts of stuff in trade for those who have had them a while ( they wont give them up lol) everything people say is rare i have found (except leather jacket and LRS) .. But playing is never a waste of time the risk of dying makes it exciting.... If i could just find one lol use to find so many i would toss them away a few patches ago...
-
these 2 things were the primary objective of the timers it doesnt really stop server hoppers it may slow them down a bit (dont forget it may have been someone logging back into the server where they left )
-
lol what can one say about this post just if it sounds silly then most likely it is!!!!! 30 seconds is a good rule i do about a minute to be safe use this time to check your out of zed range (which means it helps if you are well out of town) still check for zeds sometimes you can drag them a long way without realizing they are still chasing you ( nothing worse then logging in to get a default spawn and 30 seconds your character stays in game after you log is enough for the zed to kill you.......

Hey skin head slightly off topic question how was the frames of chernarus + in arma 3 and does the conversion come out as bad as the a2 map does (eg windows working as walls etc even when open or already broken (when firing through them)
-
I am not big on KOS but hey they add to the tension of the game so in a way and its strange to say but they add immersion to it..... I always play carefull and trust is hard to come by id never want KOS or banditry to go away i do hope the devs with more natural game mechanics ( along the same lines of destroying loot that gets shot) will reduce it a touch give us more to do that requires others... No need in my OPINION to add gamey ones like bandit identification etc. Bandits are here to stay its how you deal with the game that will make it fun or a rage fest for you.....

To those whining about post-processing and gamma:
soulfirez replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Ok much as i hate to i am going to weigh into this discussion/arguement.... First what is an exploit in relation to gaming, its defined as the use of any game mechanic in a method that was not intended by the developers.... Ok lets start with gamma brightness what is its intended use well quite simply due to such a wide array of hardawre used in pc gaming there is quite a difference in how something is seen on screen by the player. EG some people have very dark screens due to over use of brightness contrast setting from the monitor or just old age etc. So these settings are there so you can set this to be suitable for the screen. Now did the developers intend you to use 2 settings for this eg 1 for day 1 for night. Simple answer no they did not if they had INTENDED the night to look like a very grey overcast day why would they have gone to the trouble of making a dark night time, they would have just made night look like that in the first place. Result this is an exploit... PP settings ok again due to the great array of hardware used not all pcs can run the game at a great level to combat this and get there product to the greatest amount of the market they can they add settings that allow a game to run better with lesser graphics ( there a business in the end they wish to make money not much sense marketing a game to the top 10 % of the market your just cutting your throat.) Here is the grey area with PP can your pc run the game sufficently with it on ??? if it can then you are again using a game mechanic in an UN INTENDED fashion . why would they have bothered to add blurr for ill health effects if they intended us to bypass them ???? Answer its an exploit if your using it for any other reason than getting sufficient performance to even play the game.. What most peoples arguement in this forum seems to be based on a completely different arguement and that is they all use it why should i be disadvantaged??? this is a far more complex social question that only you can answer for yourself. Make no mistake when they do it they are exploiting!! when you do it to combat them doing it your exploiting to ..... Could they have implemented both game mechanics better than they currently do then in theory yes but they havent, but the answer is the same are you using the game and its mechanics as intended or are you bypassing what they tried to give you for your own competitive edge???? Exploiting is different from cheating but both are unliked but its your choice if you wish to exploit under the current system... -
I hope vehicles will be rare - A video I made so you can compare
soulfirez replied to res's topic in General Discussion
LOL yeah i wouldnt worry to much BP for arma 3 uses alot of vehicles but the repair aspect makes them get hard to get going in the first place then add to that the tire damage that non 4x4 vehicles in the mod take for going off road makes you stick to the roads.... When ya stick to the roads you get shot at again damaging and in some cases ruining the car /causing your death.. Im sure the devs will make a far better system than BP's( well i hope so ) so i am not to worried they will be op and make the map ubber small.. -
How many Women play this game and what do you think about it?

How many Women play this game and what do you think about it?
soulfirez replied to PsyStormZ's topic in General Discussion
My wife plays but not into it enough to be a forum goer like myself .. She prefers BF4 but then the evil streak in her does have her enjoy dayz too ( i swear if i didnt try to hold her back she would be a straight out bandit lol). Yeah she likes to kill because of permadeath but doesnt like dying( who does ) its kinda a love hate thing for her.. -
AH yes make sacrifice to seem less hostile because in this and other threads they point out you carry a gun your a threat/bandit or have a fire axe in hands you an axe maniac (forgetting its best way to save ammo and kill zeds before looting) so do you have or carry these items??? If so expect to be KOSed by guys calling you a bandit axe maniac... If you dont carry these items expect to be KOSed by well actual bandits. People need to do 1 of 2 things either learn to find out who or what a bandit is ( cause alot of the guys saying there heroes are actually bandits when you look at what they do) or stop complaining about KOS. I know which id prefer i know which might lead to some interesting interactions.. But thats just me we all choose our own path...
