Zombies needs to be primary objective for the devs!
Window Licker replied to Putts_UK's topic in General Discussion
Because it's an alpha and you signed up to test the game? no Don't log in a combat environment? no Don't just jump into random servers and start making a favorite's list of reliable servers that don't wipe your character? no Don't play for the next 6 month's and come back and see if the situation has improved? Nailed it. -
I know the feeling I was heading west along the northern railway the rain had just dropped off and the sun was low in the sky, across the field I could see the forest with a light fog clinging to the trees, reminded me of visiting my Aunt and Uncle on the farm they have.

How long does a dead body stay before it is "cleaned"?
Window Licker replied to smoq2's topic in General Discussion
The 10 minute timer was implemented on the last patch that went stable I believe. -
Disconnecting While Unconscious Shouldn't Kill You!
Window Licker replied to t1337dude's topic in General Discussion
I shot a guy and heard him on direct after saying he was unconscious and wanted me to wake him back up, he wasn't bleeding but it was defiantly a situation where if he'd logged and under the system you proposed would have been able to come back and shoot me in the face. Still I always double tap just to be sure this situation when he went down I couldn't see his body. Much like MadTommy I also enjoy being in the minority of people who has a stable internet connection and very few crashes, beside if the DayZ god's where unkind enough to make this extremely specific situation that you described happen to me I wouldn't actually give a shit because I've died to many many glitches and bugs far more often then this single scenario, mostly because this has never happened to me. -
Reset on death this is an interesting development indeed and clans requiring more then the most guns and ammo.

Disconnecting While Unconscious Shouldn't Kill You!
Window Licker replied to t1337dude's topic in General Discussion
Disagree, people always cite "internet drops" and the like for all kinds of things mostly to get the anti-ghost and annoy hoppers timer off. Sometimes shit just doesn't go your way sunshine, if it always went perfectly then I'd be a millionaire agreeing with you from my yacht in the tropics. People who would benefit from this change. Combat loggers who are knocked unconscious and want to bail before they die so they can relog with all their gear. I can't think of anyone else cos people who don't log are usually man or woman enough to handle losing their gear. -

Sauce? Now I'm thinking your confusing standalone with the mod, standalone isn't going to be in beta till the end of this year early next then another year or so till release. -
How much of the map have you explored?
Window Licker replied to Owain1122's topic in General Discussion
hummm the cave, I've been a lot of places like about 90-95% of the map pretty much aside from a sliver running down the western edge of the map and the island on the S/E corner, never seen any cave, I have heard it mentioned before. -
Persistent storage containers; do you like the idea or not?
Window Licker replied to -MadTommy's topic in General Discussion
The only gripe I'd have with this system is that KoS would skyrocket at that point because all you have to do is shoot someone and you get their entire stash, where as right now you'll get some gear but most of it ruined, I'm not arguing against KoS I just think this would cause it to rise to unprecedented levels. Item degradation, I feel should be implemented, and done server side once a stash has only ruined gear in it then it should be wiped by the server as clean up, this I believe would help keep the performance up instead of keeping Jailbird Jimmies stuff safe while serving he's 8-10 and lagging the access or whatever the downside would be to having an overblown database is. As far as primary weapons, I'm a bit 50/50 on that, half of me would love a stash that lets me regear instantly, the other half of me calls me a lazy fucker, I'm currently of the thinking that only secondary weapons should be stored in the stash, I'd also love to see an item repair system, that would allow the restoration of the badly damaged scope's, attachments etc so they can be used but have to find a bunch of them. So having a stash for those while I was finding enough of them/the parts needed to restore would be a secondary use for the stash. The other thing to take into consideration would be down the line with base building, if the stash follows you from server to server then certain (all) clan's would have their players go individually onto separate servers and loot the crap out of them, place the items in their personal stashes and pickup all they can carry before jumping back to the clan server. This would rape other servers of their resources extremely quickly and only players in an organized clan would have access to higher end content in that form. Although in saying that I don't believe that a group of random players on a single server would actually band together long enough to get past a rudimentary base. To sum up, yes but depends on implementation, Item degradation is a must and while I hate to say it for the long term good limited to a single server. -
Best loot route(personally+map route)
Window Licker replied to Apocrypha8's topic in General Discussion
Beans for encouraging players to get off the coast and head to where there are some items that will help them to survive. -
Never thought about it until you bought it up but yes some thing seem a touch small and other time (like the windows mmmmmmm) they feel like they where made for giant's

Zombies needs to be primary objective for the devs!
Window Licker replied to Putts_UK's topic in General Discussion
I don't miss the point, I know exactly what your saying, I'm saying that when they increase the Zombie spawn rate it add's more stress to the server so adding a ton of zombies would be fun but I don't like the idea of playing on 5 man server's, right now they are spawn at the highest rate the server allows, right now the dev team is focusing on making them respawn (along with loot) what your asking is going to be done and is constantly being worked on, the content that is being added outside of the zombies is to make the game a rich and rewarding experience in the long term, so that people keep playing for an extended time. -

Window Licker replied to Putts_UK's topic in General Discussion
Zombies are a work in progress for the dev's, the number's, AI and basic stats will be developed, good thing's take time, if they only work on the zombies then the game wouldn't have all the content that they desire, patience little one. go to black forest and pray to the DayZ god's perhaps they will grant your zombie filled wish. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/153994-early-access-important-information-known-issues/ -
lol wtf, Even playing about 5 hour's after restart and managed to survive and prosper just fine, maybe it's something wrong with your playstyle. Experimental is good, the main thing to note is there will be bugs when it initially goes live, but due diligence on the part of players filling out bug reports, helps clear them up so it's less buggy when the patch goes stable.

If you want to test your theory, take a magnum or some such on a new server then head, here http://dayzdb.com/map#7.091.075 and fire your magnum, hope you have a speed loader! In your yard

TELEPORT HACK OR CHEAT BEING ABUSED OFTEN!
Window Licker replied to Sgt.BigBeasty's topic in General Discussion
I'm really starting to feel BE is slacking, comon ban wave!! -
Should also take between 30 second's and minute to make the actually usable again. I guess this would make life good for interacting with newb's having a rifle is a good was to get jumped, could be abused particularly as weapon spawns get more and more rare. allowing a single person to carry up to 3 rifles, maybe more if they dump their bag out, aka instant bandits. One person server hop's and the other two fetch other supplies, they meet up and 3 instantly armed and geared players. actually I feel this is a bad idea, what the heck do you need 3 rifle's for?
-
I was thinking the holding your dying buddy, screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" as his life fade's away, this should also cause ptsd and your character's vision should blurry for the next 3 days and run speed halved as you cry for him/her. During this time if you log out with a rope in your bag your character should be dead when you log back in on account of not being able to carry on alone.

Need Fixing: Axe swinging, Filling Canteens, Disappearing loot
Window Licker replied to Ultra7's topic in General Discussion
You #3 might be from a lack of patience on full servers it can take as long a minute for items to appear in the game, also get in the habit of dropping items on the ground floor/ground to prevent this, if the building has any kinda of sub floor you do run the risk of it vanishing into oblivion. -
Relog timer has to be reworked
Window Licker replied to Firstbornchicken's topic in General Discussion
No, use proper servers, BE enables and add them to you favorite's, if you find one you like look in your history and find it again, once you have a favourite's list nicely filled out this will become a non-issue. -
Relog timer has to be reworked
Window Licker replied to Firstbornchicken's topic in General Discussion
Nope, I think the only time it shouldn't activate is if you immediately re-join the same server you where on. But I think it works just fine right now.
