Ah i want my car in game ( i am currently making a 120000 polygon model of it to go in assetto corsa lol. Would be utterly useless in a zed apoc ( i imported a chevy big block engine from the states so it gets shit gas economy, with a twin screw supercharger it goes way to fast so you would die on littered roads, cant go off road at all as its to low, has a loud exhaust note that would draw zeds for miles(and bandits).

A picture would help .. Also how old is you graphics card i ask as i had an old gtx 470 that started to run grid lines through certain games ( it died a few weeks later)

[Question] Public Shard vs Private Shard
soulfirez replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
You can take your character to other servers thats why there called private shards not private servers... There will be a group of servers on this private shard for example i play on hell in hand basket private shard it also allows me to play hhib savage lands server aswell. I think because the idea is fairly new and people dont understand the concept( maybe some left over stigma from some of the bad run private servers of the mod which is a shame as there were some great ones to .) sadly i kinda agree with gibonez some of it very well might be many many people rely on server hoping , they die then go to a low pop server go to a high loot area loot it and then jump to the next till geared then go back to heavy pop servers. How can i say this well when i got bored several patches ago my favorite sport was to set up at the NWAF on a low pop server and snipe hoppers my record on a server thats pop stayed between 2 & 5 players was 24 kills in 2 hours on a server that NEVER grew beyond 5 people strange huh.. -
Lead Producer of DayZ says, "1PP is better"
soulfirez replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
Probably right he would have been better off pointing out the creator of DayZ prefers 1pp and he calls people who play in 3pp view casuals. I was amazed to watch rocket playing in a 3pp on server completely in 1pp view (didnt realize it was a 3pp server till he had some movement problems and he swtched camera to check what was going on. PS casuals was his words not mine i honestly dont care what 3pp do as again i have a few good 1 pp servers to play on im happy you guys are happy playing 3pp so who cares what the others are doing.. -
They have already moved to 64 bit servers it may not be completely tweaked the way they want it . Personally i think that many players in this game would take it from an apoc survival game to bf4 with a larger map and looting (with a couple of zeds in the background because thats all they will be able to add because all the server performance will be eaten up by the players all clamouring in to play pew pew in berezino.. Id prefer they use server performance to get a smooth running game with ALOT more zeds/infected and maybe 50 60 players tops but then thats because i want to play a zed apoc survival game not another deathmatch game hmm i wonder what the game was advertised as???

soulfirez replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
Pretty much this, prefer 1pp find it far more realistic and as long as i can play on 1 pp server i could not care less what they do or dont do with 3pp servers hell give them xray vision if they want it. Having watched alot of the devs playing the game in streams they seem to prefer 1pp but they will never remove 3pp and it kinda makes me happy knowing 1pp is how they play it ,means they will balance it for 1pp.. -
Solid advice there , always look at the game time before entering server and dont join one that is dead on a certain hour (forgot which ones the game defaults to ) i always look and if it says a few minutes or more after the houir(eg 903am ) then its safe to join

Start again probably the most fun of the current build of the SA is the starting stage ,looking for loot and food to survive rather than the later stages of looking for a certain item to complete your outfit lol. Plus you only have 10 min to get to your body so if you cant get there in 10 min by running your wasting your time and server peformance killing yourself over and over again...
-
it is a seperate hive so yes different character, dangers of playing on it hmm possibly alot more bugs specially when the first round of an exp patch comes out and you are likely to get your character deleted alot as they wipe clean with each major patch .
-
Here is the reason that epoch and the like were so popular. Not many people want an actual survival apoc game , they want a PvP game with mmo style looting with zeds in the background because thats cool .
-
All he needs to do is turn hyperthreading off on his I7 and then it will sing leaving your I5 in the dust ( well not really it will be slightly better though lol ) Edit which is a pain in the butt as for most everything else hyperthreading is better(generally) and if they ever actually multithread this game rather than it running on 1 core his i7 will rock the house..(with hyperthreading on.
-
The only reason i can see that they dont put out a solid lore of cherno for dayz is once you put it in stone so to speak then when you add something in it has to fit the lore you have put down. EG with no lore so to speak they are free to add whatever whenever they like and maybe when its all said and done they may explain some of the things there( like NZ special forces berrets when its highly unlikely NZ would be one of the countries coming to a ex soviet countries add when they dont have a strong military and are half a world away (far more likely britain france germany etc etc etc
-
You miss the point if they shoot they are not likely to kill me with 1 bullet and thus i learn if they are trustworthy and if not then i execute them ..
-
First thing i do when i decide to try to trust a stranger is give them a hand gun with 1 bullet in it ( it seems loaded to them ) and turn my back on them and see if they shoot me. I can usually survive the one bullet unless its to the back of the head lol.

Has anyone found themselves locked in yet?
soulfirez replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
Yeah hardly ideal, but i am not sure we will get a shouldering animation ( i have wanted a decent door opening and climbing off ladder animation out of BIS for so long lol i wouldnt dare hope for a shouldering animation....) -

soulfirez replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
You can punch a door open, takes alot of punches but it will open so you cant get locked in... -
Community complains about slow progress, patch comes out and community calls to go go back to the last patch??? Huh and they say the devs dont have there priorities straight...
-
Damn i suggested this many many patches ago and i got flamed like bad BBQ for suggesting it lol. Really if people get the heads around the idea we are play testing an alpha rather than playing a game they may realize its actually not a bad idea to wipe every patch ( i believe it would help them test results specially when they start trying to balance the loot )
-
I like the idea but have to ask why only 1 shell at a time when hitting R? i ask as i always found it strange when they added speed loaders for the shotgun as well it is the easiest gun to fully load with just your hands in one motion( call me queer but when i practice shooting clay i use a bum bag at the front to hold my shells and i just grab them 2 at a time to load in 1 motion its pretty easy )

Havent tried growing anything yet ,seems a cool idea although hopefully when they have persistance worked out maybe it will take a little longer to grow like come back the next day, and maybe it needs to add water to the mix . But hey the basic idea seems pretty cool to me ( question is will people stop playing pew pew long enough to try it out lol seeing i know guys who still havent tried to fish yet ...
-
Hmmm i thought it was just me lol . Hasnt happened often ( 3 times in 12 hours) but yeah i have lost control of my character and they have done a little run while spinning around its quite frustrating ( specially the time it got me killed during a tense mexican stand off.. But for the op i play on servers ranging from 50 ping to 120 ping and even the higher ping ones play smooth ( if there good servers)..

This is not guild wars ya da ya da hmmmm it as quoted by jexter its zombie survival, you finding a smersh because you like ubber gear has fuck all to do with survival ,again this is not epoch which was nothing like dayz was intended to be, it was a resource hunting pvp instant gratification game vs dayz meant to be gritty survival game the anti game but people like things easy so they flocked to epoch ( original idea didnt even have zombies) Yes its early release alpha feed back is always wanted but i cant see them turning it into epoch ( that very mod was one of the main reasons rocket spat the dummy nearly 2 years ago and said there would be no modding of the SA which obviously he/BI have reversed there idea on it now. I am sure once modding is in someone will do an epoch style but the main game will stick to its roots which is not an over the top resource hunter with npc stores in the middle of an apoc, who for some reason trade gold which would be worthless if the world had broken down. As for it being more popular so SA should be more like it hmmm call of duty is the most popular fps in the world should the game be more like that ???

skalsty island south east of main land 2km2 of no loot, enough water that with temps its hyperthermia set in to swim over (for again an island with no loot . Its more than large enough and far enough that you cant see shit on the island . Hands up all those of you on the forums that have gone over there ??? And if you have your hand up how many have been over there for a second time , i am betting near nobody. True it be a pain to keep a base there as you would need a boat but if you did it be pretty safe compared to the main land . Edit although i am betting when/if choopers come in someone will store a working one over there so any tents there then will be found (although there is a couple of semi hidden spots there..

You mean it doesnt fit your concept of the game and your concept comes from playing epoch not dayz. All i have read from you is threads about not finding enough ubber loot etc etc . sorry mate your not going to like where they are taking dayz ,but hey epoch is still going strong and hasnt it just started up on arma 3??
