We NEED some way to identify heros and bandits.
soulfirez replied to 1S1K-Airborne's topic in General Discussion
LOL true i wouldnt use that approach but i would be smiling or laughing at anyone who did it would be fun (lol they need to add a sheriff outfit) his run of being the law of berezino would most likely be short but hell if he enjoyed that time then he won for the day..... AT grimey rick kinda agree we are all survivours making a choice on each encounter... Some good some bad some get us killed some get a friendly or unfriendly killed. i Dont need any teams other than the ones i form for the game in my own way... PS if they add sheriff outfits might try to get the guys i play withto all find the uniform and try out being some crazed apoc surviving police force may be fun... -

lol if thats how you can only think to determine a bad guy well me explaining how silly you sound would be a waste of my time wouldnt it?? instead ill resort to your level... game ment to be authentic cause we all know in real life bad guys wear arm bands so cops can just spot them and arrest them.... shit we dont need any system in place to effecftively determine guilt, guilty people just show that they are... WOW common sense why is it not very common in dayz community.... -

Never played the mod did you ??? the mod had humanity hero bandit skins and you know what they were so exploitable it was not funny..... humanity was easy to farm so you would get guys farming humanity so they could trick people into trusting them and killing them(not to mention the ones who worked with bandits to lead people in traps. You got guys in bandits skins who were friendlies but got the skin because they defended themself against the hero bandits and just normal survivours who were KOS players. The whole system was a failed experiment and thats why rocket did not and currently does not intend to add humanity to the SA. If you dont have a clue what your saying i find its better to keep silent then open your mouth and let everyone know your ignorant... -
yeah clouds play a big part to be honest early in the SA i disabled the clouds not for fps but because for me they didnt effect fps at all( on my rig i know many find they eat fps) but did cause a stutter( was reported as a bug and is now fixed again fixed as far as my rig is concerned ). I now run with clouds at very high makes the sky look well awesome and yes it affects night time and day time lighting ...

This isnt ment to be an easy game (currently is well pretty easy when you know what your doing) its going to (or alegedly rocket believes it will lol) get harder. Its not a game for everyone and often just watching a few youtube videos gives the wrong impression of the game, They edit those videos for entertainment value show just the action moments for me dayz is as much about those non combat moments when your struggling to find what you need (currently to much food) i love the pressure when i get a warning about hunger and i have run through a looted town the desperate search for the next town with food etc... TL DR its a game with many aspects to it and one or all of them may hook you straight away may turn you off straight away ( not sure if anyone has persisted not liking it and found they grew to love it but maybe that to ??) and if your hooked you will quickly do what you can to learn everything!!! and if your not you will most likely hate it and come on the forum screaming to change this that or the other to make it more like a game you do like..... PS some good guides in the new player section hope you do fall for its intended minimilistic survival style...

^^^^^^ Exactly the point i made 20 pages ago to find a bandit you have to interact in some way with him/her is that risky is it dangerous yes it takes bravery willing to risk your life i thought that was what a hero was??? Making bandits heroes stand out really just makes this a game with 3 sides bandits shooting heroes survivours, heroes shooting bandits and survivours shooting either depending on which they want to become.... Thats no where near as tense as what we have now the whole paranoia... -
How to zero in with mosin when bolting takes eye off target?
soulfirez replied to Highlander007's topic in General Discussion
try sighting your weapon by shooting at something solid in the range you wish to shoot at ( i know not perfect as many wish the open ground shot) but it leaves a bullet mark and then you can see if you were high or low on your ranging. A spotter is the best way (hence it is the most often used method in real life field sniping) but id love to have manula bolt action ( even just holding trigger down to stop you auto reloading taking eyes of target ...) I am not having to many troubles shooting at range at the moment.. -
LOL my thoughts exactly they really need to change the title of this thread to how i justify my KOS habbits......... I mean come on wears camo must be a bandit how about as mentioned he doesnt want to be killed on sight?? or that it carries the most gear strange they sound like features any survivour would want... My favorite is he holding a gun wow he must be a bandit why on earth would anyone want to be holding a gun where if this thread is any indication of the game 95% of people will shoot him/her for what he/her is or isnt wearing.... no much safer to stand in the middle of the road holding hands up ( sure it may pose less threat to you but first bandit who sees this well KOS.. There is only 1 way to be even remotely sure ( and even that isnt perfect ) and thats have an interaction with them ( try do it in a safe manner ) ... I hate to break it to most of the people in this thread but sorry you are KOS BANDITS!! and thats fine if you want to play that way its a sandbox but dont pretend your heroes or survivours going yeah i just killed another bandit UNLESS you KNOW they were a bandit....
-
LOL just one question in a game where trust is very limited where do you think you might find a slightly larger portion of trust in a smaller community that has enough interest in the game to sign into the official game forums or on an open forum to the million plus players of SA??? Just food for thought aye....
-
hmm ok well think about it and put a nukmber of each on it i have couple iv starters 2 morphine no sticks though never bother picking tthem up as i have morphine...
-
yeah i have around 20 hours post patch and yet to see one 8( if they in they are extremely rare which again puzzles me so many bike helmets so few ( if any ) leather jackets.....

Is there going to be a feature to tagg people as friendly?
soulfirez replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
um yeah lots of different cloths so you can look different and by this remember the guys on your side??? They are not going to add a humanity system well thats the current feel from the devs they may change there minds i hope not but i dont have a crystal ball. -
New hope! They have identified the FPS issue and solution is being tested on experimental build.
soulfirez replied to severindk's topic in General Discussion
lol true but it is open for modding so modders have made jets that fit those sides... -
yeah its a rather unsure and only semi experienced guy going through alot of well known in most cases performance boosts for the game cfg setting etc some work to a degree but make the game look bad others are well just old wives tales...( some usefull info for new guys but filtering the other crap which cause they new means they doing stuff not needed etc EDIT ninja'd and out tl dr'ed to boot
-
everything is more intense at night, fire fights are tense as hell in poor visibility zeds are almost scary in a first person server in the darkness(specially if they fixed sounds. torches need to be fixed (lanterns worked much better apart from the bug i mentioned with them). cool just getting ideas for suggestions people can roll with to put up on reddit. Rocket prefers reddit to these forums finds them easier to look at the ideas (hey dont ask me maybe its cause we aint trying to verbally kill each other there lol
-
yeah i can understand that i am one of those sissies that doesnt play night servers currently as i dont want to crank my gamma but dont want to be shot to hell because i dont. I miss the night play i was actually enjoying it using a lantern ( which if they fixed the log out next time you log in doesnt work anymore was actually pretty cool)

anyone finding pistol red dot sight anymore?
soulfirez replied to commanderbash's topic in General Discussion
Strangest loot appearance i am seeing (maybe its just me) is can openers i cant find one in civilian buildings but finding bucket loads of them at mil bases airfields.... Are they classed as mil loot now or have i just seen alot of random luck in reguards to there spawn.. -
Would both of you be happy if the devs removed the blur effect of bad health from the rest of the post processing effects??? that way you can turn pp off but still have the ill health blur. I ask because during his live stream this weekend (which was what like 5 hours) i asked him about it and he was vague said hmm yeah maybe i should.. Doesnt mean he will hell doesnt even mean he will give it any serious thought but i am asking would it make both sides happy???
-
Sadly voip is about the only thing that seems to be working in regards to proper directional/distance sounds but then they havent been working on sounds long was only a few weeks ago they got a sound guy in to rework things (not sure i like some of his changes thus far .357 .....)

Your using an intell cpu not a good one but seriously the architecture of intel for RV engine works better but your right that nvidea cards also work better for RV engine games dont believe me check out the trouble shooting section of this forum and every arma game forum and see the complaints from users using amd cpu and ati graphics cards ( they work perfectly fine for almost every other game etc but RV engine and a few other things it just gets poor performance ( the cpu being the more important of the 2 by miles though..
-
In my experience all rv engine games (arma 1 2 3 toh dayz) do not go all that well on amd cpu's and a 940 aint a great amd cpu to boot its what a quad 3 gig cpu.... Sadly the best performance gain you can get is through the cpu you want to be running something clocked to atleast 4 ghz 4.5 is better ( you wont clock that cpu anywhere near that ... hell even amd's 8 core cpu(sorry forgotten the name right now) slugs along badly.. I persisted for a long time with amd but as i have been playing arma for over 8 years eventually had to bite the bullet and go intel cant go past a good i7 cpu.. PS amd is great bang for buck hell the phenom II 965 is still listed as one of the best bang for buck cpu's and there decent for almost everything else (few other programs like arma just run better on intel architecture..
-
Ah but that is planned stamina based on weight + health also fall damage is being reworked to be based on weight + height also .... So there will be advantages eventually lol but yeah for now its an rp thing and OP sorry yeah i am geared to the hilt

How can I report a "mega exploit" privately?
soulfirez replied to Miquinei's topic in General Discussion
Also i have to ask i have played with a couple people who i have found to be duping items and when i go near them i get massive crippling desync???? had a random befriend me on steam he was real new to dayz so i helped him gear up and i dont know what he did but he started telling me how suddenly he had extra clips etc etc when we met up again ( he was looting 1 town over ) my desync went nuts.... -

soulfirez replied to commanderbash's topic in General Discussion
You sure its random i think the game has some evil spirit in it cause when there is something i want to find it can take days a week even but the moment i have one i start finding lots more and regular.... FUCKING evil possesion i tells ya (waves burning sage over his pc with dayz running) -
It's not the size of the gun....its how you use it..?
soulfirez replied to sleight's topic in General Discussion
LOL thats why i asked if he had the ten pointer version it is seriously big i mean if you ran out of bullets you could probably kill a guy by throwing it at him.....
