a perfect example of why i play 1st person servers vid was ok mate but i cringe every time i see you using 3 rd person to see someone who has no way to see you LOL thats just me though cant flaw your tactics for 3rd person. you want to die less from ladders stop crouching and holding a gun when using them ( i know impossible the situation you were in but its a known bug

this is what you need to do with every RV game in my experience i see people looking and asking for other settings well its one of those games where almost everyones rig runs it differently what will give one guy fps may cost you fps lol try the settings yourself... those parameters for launching will help a little ( some only to make the game initially load faster though skipintro world empty stuff. you can also try looking up some alterations you can make in your config files these may help you also good luck may the force of the RV engine be with you ( sorry had to nerd out there)

Do you remember the first person you met in SA?
soulfirez replied to Mcleane's topic in General Discussion
Yeah i remember the first person i met it was maybe 8 hours give or take after launch of the game. I had died once as i had found a zed and while just looking at it closely to well see the detail on it( yeah i wasnt playing bright i was just having a look ) it hit me a few times so i ended up punching back after learning space put my fists up ( yes i didnt read what keys did what i have played alot of arma i figured how different could it be.) Any way i killed it but bleed to death looking for a bandage( i did not yet know i could tear my shirt into rags ( i am pretty sure i was on the outer edge of electro but not certain it was dark and i didnt go far. second spawn im near balota so i ran straight past the place and into cherno as i was heading to the shop in hope of water/drinks i met a fully armed guy mil cloths gas mask standard m4 ( didnt seem to have any extras on it) i approached him carefully put my hand up behind him in hello and then said hey mate he turned and greated me we spoke for a while and he ended up giving me a water bottle to drink .. I didnt stay long as i wanted to explore so we parted and i guess 5 min later i was involved in my first PvP id found an axe but while sitting in my inventory checking how a hat looked on my character this fairly new spawn looking guy stabbed me with a kitchen knife i pulled out my axe and he ran so i stopped and bandaged myself when i did he struck again stabbing few more times i again chased with my axe laughing at his brass for going again ( end result we both ended up dying as i eventually bleed to death (still didnt know about shirt and i had only found 1 bandage. -
@DEVS: Easy, efficient fixes for: Combatlog/Serverhop eg.
soulfirez replied to krazikilla's topic in Suggestions
Its your first post but i am sure its not your first post ever on a forum .... Please use the search function you will find this is quite well known problem and there is already a fix coming. 1/100th of the time it took to make the post you would have found the thread for it. -
As bull crap as a server like that is the renter of said server seems to have read the current rules for server hosting and is skating well sadly within in the rules ( although such and obvious slap in the face i hope they can take it away from him in any way LOL. Zeds idea on the loot spawn is kinda a good idea sad that they would have to resort to a mechanic to prevent this sort of thing happening but oh the wonderfull age we live in with kids with access to the parents credit cards and adults still behaving in some cases as kids ( i am guilty of this lol keeps me young) As for tingunz mate beanhs for being able to see something trully shite and instead of losing ya shite over it actually seeing a positive ( even if it was a joke)
-
My only problem with seeing so many of these sort of posts is well there are so many of them LOL i mean can you experts all get together and actually decide who is the best will save time and ego on the forums. ( what happens when your group of 3 runs into a group of 6 players as good ( i know right is there players really as good as you who would have thought it)??? As for the op i share many of your hopes i cant wait to see how far this game goes (although i dont share or expect it to stop player killing thats part of the game but with so much more to do it may cut down on the uber elite bestest ranger super duper no one can touch us death squads . Oh for shits and giggles( i am the best player yesterday i took out 126 players at balota merely using a pen and my ninja ass mega skills) sorry i had to do it lol strange it didnt make me feel any better infact it didnt even compare to when i have had some great shoot outs with players ( some i have won some i have had my butt handed to me.... Edit sorry i know your not psting as over the top as some people but it always surprises me how many good players there are ment to be is there no averagee players anymore i class myself as average i would guess have my good days have my bad days LOL
-
Ah yes you got everything back as you had the time to do it?? what if someone was shooting at you and thats why you jumped into the water? Thats why i think if it was a feature ( maybe one that hadnt worked quite right in the alpha dont know YET) it could be interesting the whole risk reward thing eg jumping saved you from getting shot but you had to leave behind what accidentally feel out in the water in your escape plan catch where i am heading in my usually crazed thinking LOL If that was there intent all i can say is i tip my hat rocket deep thinking ( again it may have just been a bug i hope not lol )
-
Now i am off to see if this happens lets find the nearest bridge and go for a dive to see what happens.... If a feature it could be an interesting one oh have to ask was there any damage done from this drop (you or the gear you lost ??)

How many people do you kill in a life on average?
soulfirez replied to Mays (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
There is no average for me (had to do an average as there is no k/d stat in game and i dont want there to ever be. I play each life a little differently i have played a pve style person (on a pvp server) carrying a bible helping people (basicly to see how long i would last) i have played my character as a survivour shooting only direct threats ( those who shoot at me or have for any reason come rushing at me yeah sadly a few bambi have died to that but you charge dont speak and your dead.) I have tried to play a jason micheal myers character using knives or axes to kill people (wearing payday mask really want to put sack over my head or hockey mask lol )anyone anywhere armed or not ( this is a hard one to do unlike those characters you do actually die when shot lol ) I have played purely to find bugs test what works so no kills and yes died alot. But i get the feeling the thread is a who is an expert yeah im the best killing machine player( hope not) there is no average when i am in the pvp mindset some times all i cross a newbs/bambi i slaughter others i run into organised groups using military tactics and if i am solo or in group not doing this i am slaughtered lol Id like a thread where it is how much fun did you have getting that kill or being killed or that interaction not an un official k/d ratio to replace the lack of it ( and hopefully never implemented) -
Here is an example of someone who doesnt agree with the points beliefs and play style of other posters but his response is reasonable you sir have my beans my they feed you for another day. Can anyone spot the difference between this and some other responses made?? you get my point hopefully live and let live ( or in this case kill and let let kill in the style you want LOL)

For those complaining about development pace
soulfirez replied to Mdogg2005's topic in General Discussion
I apologise if i read more into your comments than was intended(including the fact that it was directed at me) Mistakes happen . I give you beans for not attacking in your retort of my post ( you took a higher moral ground than myself as i made slight implications which on your retort i regret( have to practice what i preach at times lol hard when reason can be hard to come by in some forums) there was still a bit of a rant in there again i understand frustration on forums OH do i understand it and i have made some Dossey rants and regretted it afterwards i mean your is not even close to a rant if compared to some of my RANTS of epic fail ( i am far FAR from perfect LOL) -
Should modding be allowed well its merely IMHO that yes it should and as it stands now even rocket has said in the future it WILL be allowed on SA. Modding is how Dayz became what it is or have we forgotten this if the people from BIS were as narrow minded as some here can be then well we may never have had a game like Dayz we would all still be playing a mil sandbox game ( well those who didnt buy arma just for Dayz that is)
-
And i agree with everything your saying to a point you will find me on a public (or in future on a private server which doesnt stipulate play style because to me probably to most your right the game was ment to be open to play as you wish .(yeah even rocket would agree on that he made it that way ) Some of these PVE people are not trying to stipulate to you how to play the game ( some are fire away ) but this guy asked about the future of private hive servers and as he seemed reasonable i gave him a reasonable answer..If he pays for in the future a private hive it is his right to make rules and play the way he wants(this theory is endorsed by rocket in his statements that private hive servers will be able to run different versions of the game to suit the market ) So to sum up any PVE player stating that thats how the game should be played wide scale you are definately right to attack respectfully that person. If this style of player is asking can it be done in the future of private servers( private server so he aint dictating to you how to play unless your silly enough to join his server then he has every right to boot you ) then he has a the basic human right to respect regardless if you agree with his views or not. There is being right then there is just being an ASS HAT not saying who is what i have no god given ability to judge the majority i can only give opinions ( which are like ass holes we all have them ) Ill let you re read your posts and decide which you have decided to be today were you right or were you an ass hat ???
-
LOL all i can say is all is fair in love and war when what we have now is PUBLIC servers people should really stop making pve public servers you are just asking to get massacred big time...
-
I dont believe you to be the plague i may not agree with how you wish to play Dayz but it is and eventually will be your choice. I am going to get attacked for this but i find it interesting that many people in this thread who are screaming against this idea of what is freedom to play the way you want in turn scream for there freedom to play how they want in KOS threads. So in future it will be Public server its open to any and all to play any way they choose be it KOS be it mixed survivour pvp and KOS or even attempt to be a pve player ( but ya going to get killed) Private server you will play within what rules set by the server admin if thats pve then you log in there you play pve or expect to get kicked i wont be joining you in your PVE server but i wish you luck when private hives are allowed.
-
Ah my apologies for mis understanding LOL and what has been linked is indeed rules for current public servers as that is all you can get now. But anyone telling you in the future of Dayz it will be impossible are well talking shite Rocket has mentioned once private hives go up you will be able to run very different styles of the game to suit the market including modded( eventually ) versions and when that happens again you WILL be able to set rules for said server to almost anything you want now i dont agree with Dayz being a complete pve game but you will indeed with your private hive server ( again once they are available and i doubt that will be any time soon IMO) be allowed to set the rules then regardless of peoples feelings on PVE servers lol
-
I believe a link will not be needed go through the process of getting your own server and the answer will be given to you in the rules and requirements of running said server. (all servers are public currently you can not get a private server at this time as this requires a seperate section of the hive to store your data seperately) So you can pay to run a public server and as a public server you can NOT set rules on this server wait till the ability to get a private server then you can set what ever rules you see fit be it PVE only or all characters must never wear cloths if thats what ya want. EDIT there has already been a few servers shut down for what is classed server admin abuse in this case for booting people who didnt adhere to the rules admins set rules which contridicted the rules given to them for running a PUBLIC server...

Characters should be server specific
soulfirez replied to tacticalkn0me's topic in General Discussion
Or you could wait for private hive servers and then you will have what you want characters on a private hive will only be on that hive currently all servers are public. Also there is a fix coming for server hoping and ghosting i believe it to be a queing system where changing server starts a timed waiting situation which grows each time you jump a server ( this is just my belief from watching Rockets videos and how he describes it i could be wrong dont burn me for my interpreting what rocket said(and possibly wrongly lol ) PS please use search this is a common threa not as common as some but ya get the idea. -
Two players in same house through same router, can't connect.
soulfirez replied to Ndemco's topic in General Discussion
sounds like you need to change your routers default gateway settings ( could be wrong but i had similar problem years ago with a console game Forza) but our was worse as the router we had we couldnt change those settings and had to buy a router that we could so that we both could enter the same server.. -
" does not expect that DayZ will reach beta status before the end of 2014."
soulfirez replied to vrsick's topic in General Discussion
Hmmm ok i am not sure why a obvious troll thread is still open?? But ill bite LOL yes and this is clearly stated in the steam store BEFORE you even buy the game dont want to wait that long and believe for some reason its a joke dont buy the game or dont buy the game for a year till its out of alpha. Use the right you have as a consumer to express your distaste for this concept and dont spend your money (Rocket himself states dont buy the game unless you wish to aid development, hell i feel priveledged he( BIS) has given us the chance to test what has been done and perhaps contribute to the making of it it in some small way..... -
The reason i believe has nothing to do with not being able to play this style it is currently there is no private hive servers they are all public. When there are private hive servers they will be able to call them PVE as much as they like but as it stands now and the game is out mostly to test what is currently in the game. Being as all the servers are public it defeats the purpose of having a PVE server why you ask is it so dificult to understand that one could log into a pve and spend all day happily with these PVE players then when he is fully armed up head over to a pvp server and start the war with gear he got much easier than a guy who spent his day on a pvp server having to watch his butt, move carefully.( just doesnt seem well fair does it??)

For those complaining about development pace
soulfirez replied to Mdogg2005's topic in General Discussion
ok not 100% sure why this one is directed at me but as it is we will cover the points trying not to be needlessly over the top (something you just bordered on here) 1 agreed and i have said the same to people opening more threads on same subject and would be covered by the point i made dont complain report( yes i know very general idea but as i have said before do we need to write a book every time we post) 2 this point is still covered by point 1 and is just more fluff and an example of much of point 1 3 still kinda covered by point 1 hence the REPORT part and you may be right they may not know/use the tracker and for such is it hard to post in there thread linking to tracker or telling them that is the best place for the bug they have found?? doesnt sound hard. 4 that would be a suggestion if its a feature they would like to see yes??? and thus would belong in the suggestions forum. People are able to express a suggestion be it a good or a bad one lets not forget they paid money for the game also does this mean Rocket and his dev team will take the suggestion??? Rocket seems like he has his own ideas of what is or isnt Dayz and honeslty i cant see him bending to what people want (even if its the majority ) if it doesnt fit his idea of what he believes Dayz to be. This point i would say almost borders on a rant one of the things you dont want people to do in the forums ironic isnt it??? It also sort of makes you sound like a guy who played the mod and has his idea of what Dayz is and thats it again it is Rockets idea of what Dayz is that counts at the end of the day (not that i am dissagreeing with your general feel of what it is merely how you decided to um rant it.) 5 this is again covered by point 1 and merely another example of what not to do. Again do not complain, report covers this idea i guess its just simplified to not sound like a rant... 6I agree with this again but again this is covered by do not complain about the development time which is the start of my post so again unsure why this post has been directed at me?? Now the start of your post is People dont get shot down for posting valid(just read your starting line lol ) and i then direct you to my post where did i say they are ?? i said i hope not to see it here as i have on other development games forums and sadly it usually comes from guys well like you who have not read or understood what has been posted. PS i love the name as a man old enough to have played gauntlet as a kid in arcades NeedsFoodBadly makes me laugh every time i see it. -
These military groups all spawned on the coast with the rest of the survivours in jeans and shirt not military gear they have to find there military gear so again perhaps place a large array of already made patches to game for them to find and then attach. Also i am not sure if i am believing a rumour or not but didnt writing notes get withdrawn for the excessive use of well inappropriate material for now or was it bug??? cause i am sure your military group wouldnt make rude stuff it be very un military but sadly alot would.
-
call me a mad scientist but i kinda like this does make for some interesting uses would tend to be quite a complex idea once you started down the road of implementing it though. Im sure if they wanted they could make it awesome though now see what sort of bomb you can make from my beans..
-
agree although and i havent tested so i dont know if its not already a feature or will be but it should be rarer for having an advantage over water bottle such as more durable possible even keep water cleaner for longer, eg when water has chance of infection/disease water in water bottle should have higher risk of this when stored for longer as water would see more sunlight get warmer and therefore be better situation for a bacteria to grow ( i am not sure if this is to complex though.
