Window Licker

That's just confusing can you please #sarcasm and #serious cos I'm not sure whats where. sorry to deface your post like.

I got a pot on a gas burner, couldn't figure out what to put in tried bean's, don't know what else could possibly go in there. Edit: to actually answer the question, there is a hunting wildlife system planned, I've seen talk of improvised explosives (somewhere) and weapons (Dean) you can craft backpacks of a sort and a sawn off shotgun (but don't you just ruin the gun) as it develops there will be more it's simply a case of wait and see.

I disagree, doing what your suggesting would require them to edit the same code multiple times as they added functionality. Its much easier to write it all and have it sloppy then trim off the unneeded code then to trim code only to add it back later effectively doing the same job multiple times. Not only that but they would need to do this for every single patch they make!!

Forget where I saw it but "Dean" said "somewhere" client optimization doesn't typically happen until just before beta, while it would be awesome cos my system is above spec and it still sometimes runs like a chunky vomit milkshake, wouldn't the optimization just get messed up when they added more stuff and functionality? The idea behind optimization is to get all the components operating in harmony. How can you do that when large portions of the code are unwritten?

If you don't have a weapon then it's perfect I mean he's gotta be a lousy shot if you close the gap w/o getting hit. PoS!!!

They did some work on the Z's in this patch, most interesting.

Edit: some days it's better not to post at all

There is a thread for this, pinned in the New Player Discussion section http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154395-can-i-run-dayz-retail-post-here/ here's how I found out http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

Because I've NEVER lost a character from glitching thru a wall, falling thru stairs, climbing up a ladder, climbing down a ladder etc etc Actually he nailed it in my opinion that's exactly how you sound. Personally I think you should get up take a breather and come back when this thread had some time to play out some more.

WTB Skilled sniper's I'll be on Bolota airfield sitting on the runway as bait.

From the sounds of it your problem could be fixed by running south then east along the coast or straight inland, I did that on my last char and ended up well fed and clothed, even got a backpack and shotgun, then a Mosin from the deal.

Yay they fixed combat logging!! In "pre-patch" there was a small delay where when you login your char will make a reload sound and it may be a couple of seconds before you actually gain control from when the avatar appeared in the game. Hence I always made sure to log out away from high traffic area's. I'm sure you can find a relatively safe spot, like say a building that doesn't spawn loot, who the hell is going in there? I am and I'm closing the door behind me. Working as desired.

I'll see you all next week with an "I got banned for no reason post" All joking aside.... If you take a broom handle tuck one end under your arm, then tape a milk cap to a pillow or your buddies head, spin 180 deg and put the end of the broom on the milk cap, now repeat the experiment with a weight bar with say 5 lbs on it. It's not the same result, while most fps games deal with this by increasing dispersion DayZ is designed as a simulator not a shooter if what he says is to be believed you'll be lucky to have a rifle in the finished product.

*Gets out a bag of cheeto's*

Seems there's a lot of chatter about the loot and server hopping some valid, some not so much. If you don't have a great deal of time this is what I do when browsing the server's choose one that had is on the hour with either no-one of only a couple of people, chances are that server has just reset. If you "accidentally" join the wrong server it's not going to matter too much to dc then rejoin a different one. Sure it's a bit of time but if your not server hopping then it's going to be worth the minor wait to switch. Last but not least... it's alpha yeah that word again, when the loot respawn is finally working then there is no reason or justification for jumping servers unless it's to meet friends on a different server. Most exciting for me the ZOMBIE reworks adjusting hp and animations can't wait to see how that plays out.

Does this also mean that we can't use ruined bullets? cos before you could make them pristine again by putting them in a gun/mag then taking them back out.

mmmmmmmmmm..... Rocket take my beans.... bathe in them.. make sure none get stuck in the cracks... Edit: hope this means they are getting berry picking going properly, has anyone actually done it?

We are making the world a safer place, if you can't "Hero" properly that's your issue not our's, I understand what your trying to say but it comes across as bitter. I was doing lookout in Berezino yesterday and some fresh spawn hide near by and tried to convince me he was gonna snipe me if I didn't drop my gun. After I fired about 50 rounds in his general area he ran out and tried to accuse me of killing fresh spawns these are the same type of players who server hop till they get a gun then open fire and C-Log when you return fire. Destroying the M4's and emptying ammo is my way of griefing these players right back. The exchange went down not 100 metre's from where I'd once given a new player my M4 and about 300 metre's from where I gave a new player an M4 the week before. I help new players where I can sometimes by guiding them to towns where supplies are more likely, or simply leading them to water. I die a lot, You wanna help go right ahead, but don't come posting all butthurt that you get killed doing it cos that's just the facts of life.

Ahem... you can't destroy, but I've stripped all attachments off then used a weapons "cleaning kit" on it dumping the attachments at random as I walked about, also if you right click the clips while they are on the ground and choose to empty it will make the ammo disappear. Leaving a bunch of empty clips laying about...

Ah well thank you for linking the way people where talking I was under the impression this was a recent post and I didn't realize you where referring to this one. I thought it was the new road map for dev after the alpha success and as such have been filtering thru every post made by rocket looking for new information, there is a f'd up thread where people are photo shopping Rocket onto/into all kinds of people, things and places. Again thank you for the clarification.

Day 2 Survivors now start with flashlight, battery and a teaspoon of cement so they can "harden the fuck up" But really how much of a threat are Z's They virtually aren't unless a bunch are right there and they mob you. Otherwise they are casual looting buddies typically it's zombie aggro's, loot building, walk outside and axe it. Other thing to point out is they are infected not actually undead. In future I'd like to see them have a "sprint" mode so a couple can damage a player if they try just running thru or a semi-intelligent cut you off at the pass kinda thinking. but like they say, it's all in development and alpha.

Edit: I am referring to Standalone, thank you for the help, I was under the impression that it might be possible after the last patch. Hi I looked around here and couldn't find anything relevant, as the title suggests I am wanting to know if/how to host a LAN server and are you able to play from the server that is hosting or do you need a dedicated machine? Also does it spawn zombies and items the same as when I play normally? To be clear I'm not looking to connect to any hive and don't care if my character vanishes if I restart the server. Any advice hint's and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Okay thanks for the tips, I did mean standalone tho, Editing post.

Oh the one where he explained the outbreak was caused because the population of Chenrus ate too many beans causing the flying spaghetti monster to take umbrage and strike down the nation with a plague the like have never been seen. Yeah I remember that one now.

Hey thanks for the post but a few things I wanted to bring up, first if you have found a specific post that supports what you are saying, then linking that is a good idea. We aren't going to go sorting thru every post made by Rocket to find a specific one, call it lazy or what you want, but as you can see without anything credible to support your argument this thread has already descended to the pits of hell.
