Window Licker

*sigh* why does everything turn into an e-peen contest, I came back to read this thread for more laugh's and smiles only to see more e-peen's waving about then a larping convention.

do you have sauce for that? Yes the large increase will mean they will be able to work on multiple elements of the game EFFECTIVELY, for example the people plodding away at Zombie skins and AI, while another group is working on the animals and hunting system, another group developing the physics portion and so on, meaning the updates while likely still coming out at the same pace will include much more content. Where are all those people bitching "Dean ur rich y u no finish game yet" at? Long and short the bigwigs at BI have decided to accelerate production and gave Dean permission to hire more people.

I read this thread, but I'm not sure what is going on here, for someone to use ghosting now it's 30 sec logout timer, instant onto next server, 30 second timer and 280? seconds to log back it's simply not that effective I had a guy ghost 4 time in less time then that, now that was BS. For someone to ghost they must be left unmolested for 30 seconds, when they log back in they have a brief moment before they gain control of their character. Might I suggest a more aggressive style of gameplay to combat this sort of thing. Finally if you suspect someone is ghosting run, hide and watch where you just where or just run like the wind there is no way he'd ever catch you with all the timer's he has to go thru.

omg the tears of laughter amazing, If anyone wants to start a Canadian clan hit me up think it would be fun, my specialties are dying and hiding, also I'm only married to a Canadian girl, not actually Canadian but your immigration is really lax so here I am. (I'm from another english speaking country)

Permanent skills, again I can see where your coming from, maybe for an account which has achieved "master" rank in a skill for them it will level up a bit faster next time, cos lets face it you are going to die in DayZ unless your hiding in the clan base fixing weapons and the like. I still agree with the wipe on death, it would do more to reduce the people who are just KoS yolo style cos they can get all their stuff back, now they run the risk of losing something that they can't server hop for. I'm also of the thinking that a hacker wouldn't care about skill's there's a reason why they are paying cash to have their computer shoot for them.

I see your point, I'm just a touch cagy about them doing something like that, implemented incorrectly it could really damage the experience, as with any of these system's I suppose. The main thing is your progress get's wiped every time you die and people already shoot on sight for any number of reasons, would people sit about and spend the day offing freshie's just to level up their gun skill? I personally think so it would make the already paranoid population excessively paranoid and may in turn result in a large decrease in player interaction.

Got a good chunk of play on experimental and want to know how other people are getting on. One of the first thing's I've noticed is the server's don't appear to be restarting at so everything is looted to hell, I decided to do a inland tour following the coast and found exactly one can of pipsi running from berezino to that super market west of kamanka. When I say looted out, I was still in my starter gear for a large portion of the trip. When the buildings that don't spawn anything are open and have been checked, when shoes are the only loot you can find it's a clear sign the area's been raped. Despite the decent server population, I only ran into one other person while standing on the bolota airfield I was on the phone so I couldn't hear what he was saying sorry guy. The garden hoe is now my weapon of choice I found it pretty effective at dealing with the infected, but it look's much more harmless then an axe (think I saw one but stuck with my ho) The berry picking system need's to be reworked a little it's functional but not exactly fun, You can constantly spam a single bush, there is no reason to move once you've found one, the animation takes a bit long considering the berries are at an estimated 5% drop rate. I can only guess this may be one of the things effected by the coming skills system cos it's kinda broken right now. In saying that, it was what kept me alive on my long and empty trek. The infected now seem to inhabit larger areas standing in fields around town making it difficult to walk in without aggroing at least one. Also their re-spawn seems dependent on the players in the area, aka you shoot one the next will spawn near you. I was picking berries (different life from above) and saw one standing in the field a distance off, it was the only one visiable and I had the forest at my back (west of the blue shed on the road out of upper Berezino) I decided hey wtf and put her down (shot). I went back to my berrie picking and another was on me so I killed that one too, they kept spawning in aggro range of where I was (I stayed in the one spot the whole time) until this one bitch spawned and one hitted me, dead. Food can be put into the pot's now making a 4 inv slot but holds 9 storage container, I tried cooking something by putting it on the gas cooker but nothing happened. So did you play experimental? notice anything?

Yeah I know right, Damage it, fix it, damage it, fix it got my mechanics skillz in the collage of the far north! didn't even have to interact with anyone!! 10/10

I agree for the most part except for this, the other skills etc that you listed are hard to replicate in game, your ability to shoot effectively, gauge distance for zeroing and the like are all your personal skill and experience and should imo be excluded from the skill tree's completely, it's the only skill we have that actually translates in to the game and having an artificial modifier to me seems a bit silly.

I was enjoying a warm summer's day in electro, looting and wondering about the general lack of people, as I had not seen anyone, going into one of the 3 story buildings with the stairs that open in the middle of the floor. I was checking the area as I came up behind the stairs and there was a lovely chap there with a shotgun. He greeted me with two barrels of buckshot and I politely shot him with my blaze 95, I saw it hit him and didn't think too much of surviving the shot gun blast, it has happened before, I went down stairs to reload and then my screen popped you are dead. This isn't the first time such a thing has happened to me and I'm starting to wonder. Is my computer in need of turning down the graphic's or should I stop playing experimental (80ish ping) and go back to the 40ish ping servers that I'm used to?

WTB LRS

yeah the only thing that bug's me about the whole experience is it's not the first time it's happened, actually it happens almost every time I engage close range, I guess it's time to be a long range asshat

I very much doubt that will happen but I'm with you on that one.

The skill system is in the work's although exactly how in depth and detailed it will be remains to be seen, from what I've seen that is expected in this game, I'm gonna go it will be complex and take some time to master a skill. The other thing I'd take into consideration is the weapon spawn rates, it's been planned that the high grade military weapons will be extremely rare and there has been a marked decrease in their spawn (M4) and an increase in the places where they spawn, I found one as a fresh spawn but opted to take an SKS as I knew I'd need to carry this giant paper weight to the mil bases to have a good chance of getting ammo, where the SKS while not as "good" was the better choice as more ammo is about. In saying all that, the appearance of persistent containers, which will initially be backpacks won't allow the mass stockpiling of weapons via server hopping which is nice, but people will still stockpile ammo and all the pristine attachments they can for future use. KoS by grifers will always take place, in 6 months time new spawns will be getting murdered with bow and axes instead of 60 rounds of 5.56 but it will still be present, some people just don't give a f about skills cos they just want to kill people, I'm predicting a large number of those people will leave once they realize what's happening and we will see a reduction in KoS, after numerous tears here about not being able to find the "1337 gUN5"

try this site http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/dayz/11929/?p=a I've never used the download to test my system but it give the "specs" which are a touch on the low side imo

Yeah the restarts have been happening, it just seems they are irregular or much longer between restarts, they are defiantly not doing a 4 hours cycle as usual, I'm of the thinking it's to part of testing to see how often loot should respawn when that system get implemented. Was on after restart and found an M4 and SKS in the new police station.

Not that a hacker would actually give a flying f**k about skills they are only there to grief.

I've had the pistol (FXN) flashlight working, and the pistol and M4 suppressor don't work at all

Can I have the stuff that he doesn't take? Yes they exist, I've never run into one in the time that I've played (165ish hours) so "riddled" as already stated is probably a little over stated, and if you do come back and edit your post again the anti-cheat client is BE/VAC not BA. Also people who make an account for the sole purpose of posting about "hackers" and only make the one post, I am suspect about as your standing in the community is nil and no-one can testify to to your character. Come back and join the community and maybe you'll be taken seriously when we know your not a clever ploy to trick the gullible into buying hacks and getting their accounts banned. *Yes I know I post this every time it's a thing I do okay!!*

I very much doubt it, I was going to wait for someone with experience in this area to post but it seems it's ask an amateur, not the porn star kinda either folks. Pathing and the like as far as I'm concerned is a matter of a. collision detection, oh I cant walk thru that and b. a suitable alternative route. Given that there are a number of buildings and fences are used in multiple places around the map once the settings where added to each object they would then be applied easily/automatically to all instances of the object in the world or on the map. Or once they have completed adding in all the buildings they place an invisible mesh on the game world that says the infected can only walk on this mesh it would be clipped to the floor of building's and up the stairs etc. I'm not sure how they handle glitching thru wall's for players and thats all the wild nonsense I can spurt out tonight.

oh... Well I have given a few new spawns my M4 didn't get shot in the back once from that, I've found trying to help people is interesting most players aren't really in need of help and know what they are doing. One guy I recently tried to help I didn't have what I needed to wake him up, I felt bad as I was the one who shot him. I've given a few people food and directions but find that just getting in a group and having people to run with for a while is the most positive experiences I've had playing DayZ.

I fell off a construction site cos I wasn't paying attention, and respawned as a girl in Kamenka? As I was looking around trying to decide where to go a guy come crawling down the street towards me having broken his legs on the stairs. Exact details escape me but he wanted to eat me out, I ended up taking my pants off so he could eat me out, (twist:I had my period) after he was done his last meal I graciously beat him to death bare knuckle, before jumping off the roof of the new police station to respawn as a guy.

Yes, encountered this with the magnum, but not the mosin.

Seriously there's a thread here that's bigger then my e-peen about it... or did that get locked/yarded when one too many words where said in insult?

Unlucky? I got shot 5 time's with a mosin from so close it made me jump and I'm still alive, you must be shooting the Electro Axe fighting winners to be one hitting them
