If The Devs came to you as a map designer, what would be your dream map you'd build?
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to over9000nukez's topic in General Discussion
That's my new background now. Deal with it. XD Edit: I twittered Senchi (map designer of DayZ) your map. Just to mess with him. ;) -
Do you think Zombies should be headshots only?
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Sebidee's topic in Suggestions
And additionally that in "I am legend" the virus is not because of a cancer-cure, but it's transmitted by mosquitoes?^^ And the main char kills vampires all day long while they sleep?^^ And that he is an alcholic because his neighbour is a vampirelord that has psychic powers and drives him nuts and always tries to cionvince him to leave the house?^^ And, the most important thing: That there is NO happy ending but a deeper morale? 24 weeks?---it's 28 DayZ later or 28 weekZ later.... ;) And Zombies are NEVER called zombies in any older Zombiemovie (like the shaun of the dead reference: "...that Zombie!" "Don't call them that!") And option 2 & 3 are the same. You can kill every Z instant with a headshot but most of them already survive more than one hit to the body (expect for the mighty fireaxe of doom © BI) -

Never the right ammunition...
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Mukaparska's topic in General Discussion
...When the area is rising. Simple: Go to the coast. Are you there? Good. Now have the ocean to your right side and start running. Either you are going east now (and will turn north sooner or later) or you already are heading north. Or...well...look at a map. Ingame, or for the easy way out: http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus And don't get attached to your stuff ever. EVER. Gearing up is part of the game, but not the goal. And since we are still in alpha, the new things are set to a very high chance to spawn so that they can be tested. So if you want to use a gun+ammunition....get the newest ones. Or a Shotgun. For some reason I find always shotgun shells.... AGainst getting knocked out: Motorcycle helmet or hard helmet (denies being knocked out). And in melee...aim for their heads. Or even better, slightly above them and circly-run around them while doing that, don't ever stand still... -
[POLL] Do you regret buying the SA?
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to dulix11's topic in General Discussion
That's the nature of DayZ for me. Was in the mod the same way. It's like minecraft (the only other game where I feel it that way) : you play intensive for some weeks, than you get a little bit bored...(like every other game, but now comes the kicker) : you keep coming back for more, play again intensive for some weeks and...well rinse, repeat ;) And I don't regret it at all. Hell, even if they would shut down all servers right now, I'd be very sad but I'd have my money worth by far... -
Anyone else feel like stable branch is becoming pointless/neglected?
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Bororm's topic in General Discussion
The super experimental servers are called "internal" ;) Ok, I'm glad I didn't troll you ;) So the difference: Far less bugs, chrashes and wipes than in experimental :) Well, it may seem so, since we were spoiled with the one week patch rythm and the last stable patch wasn't released due to some larger issues and experimental got one. Meh. Next week (hopefully) stable gets the patch(es) and will be on the newest version, while experimental gets one patch (maybe). But IF there are issues that let the 42 not go on stable, I'm sure exp. will not get another patch until the version is on stable... So in 4 or 5 weeks, there will be again 3 patches (or 4) already released on experimental, until stable gets all of them. Yeah rocket is a hell of a PR guy XD If I were in the PR department of BI (do they actually HAVE one?) I would fear rocket more than anything. He just always says what he thinks, driect and honest and thats really bad fora game studio, because people are used to comfy lies XD I guess what he wants to say: If this bug disturbs you so much and you don't want to wait until it is fixed on stable, play on experimental in the meantime. True. But on the other hand, they decided to change it for a reason and we have to live with it *shrugs* And the experimental servers are just an extra for us, think of it that way, 9/10 times you wouldn't get to have these kind of service to test the things before they hit the actual alpha, they would stay on "internal" for 4 weeks until the next stable patch is released. So, from my point, i'm thankful for experimental, because I want to help by repoting bugs and issues, so I don't have to swim to ragetears in this forum^^ (And experimental players usually don't cry here that much than other ALPHA players^^) With that being said: Yes, stable looks a little bit neglected if you watch experimental, since it gets a patch nearly every week and stable only once a month, sometimes further delayed. But again: It's for the greater good and against the tears of "stable"-alpha-testers...ehm...palyers ;) Edit: Well....I'd be happy if there was only a smaller amount of servers. Just because it would mean: More players are forced to play on every server, which means the game gets harder since people are a danger and loot is harder to find...and everything that makes DayZ harder is good ;) -
DayZ: The Ultimate Hiking simulator

I also play it on a laptop. Still works with a broken match. But maybe your keyboard is extreme flat....in that case try the "tower of coins" method ;) -

LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Bororm's topic in General Discussion
Ok, i'll try to NOT read this as another "Ermahgerd, they delayed mah update! But I WANT NOW." post... Becauuuuuse of the 1.6 million people that bought this game there are (rough guess) 20.000 playing experimental and 600.000 playing stable (and the rest is in this forum complaining about KoS or debating the right way to wear boots and pants together). It's an additional testing stage (after internal, that the intern QA team does), so the "real" version is stable, that's the version where you can "play", the experimental is...well...permanent bugs, glitches, character wipes...everything that makes people cry in this forum when they encounter it on stable. At first they had planned it to make it like this: Patch experimental, one week testing there, put on stable, while new experimental is released. But after the memory leak-patch that had to be hotfixed and the shitstorm, they decided to change it to: patch experimental when a internal testing of a new version is done, put tested version after some weeks on stable. And tehre it is tested to a much alrger extent because more people test it under bigger load for the server to handle etc. And experimental is not stable at all. Got my char wiped, encountered 4 new bugs, one of them really really really annoying (and saw all of them already reported by the way)...so...no. And play experimental. We have pitchforks there. And they are (like the hoes) nearly as good as the axes... -
Here take these... You "play" on experimental to find bugs and glitches and report them, so that the stable version won't have them. And that's all. (Besides, it makes fun to play and find the new stuff^^) And there ARE server restarts on experimental...and i get geared up (mens: Healthy+gun+cantine+decent clothing within one hour. Just...don't go to electro or cherno. Go north or inland, you'll find plenty sdtuff...

You have banana? *bwahaha* that dude was awesome
-
Monsters? Pah. I knew the game was missing something, the option "Stick syringe in eye" ooooh and what about "Inject air in Vene" if you have an empty syringe? Or fill with bleach and inject that? Oh wait, there's more....how about a "cut" option if you have a knife and if you have an open can of beans a "stuff beans in open wound"?....oh my, so many possibilities...

Nice^^ New trend: torture your own char O.o I know that only maschosits play DayZ SA Alpha, but thats hardcore ;) At least bandage that poor soul^^

I want the woods to be dangerous..

The rabbits are already infected. Never heard them make Zombie noises? They are Zabbits....or rabbitZ?^^ -
I want the woods to be dangerous..
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
I still want infected Apes. Broken out of the Zoo of Cherno. Jump from the trees, steal your helmet, throw feces at you and bite you in the head. Srsly: ....but as Dean said in a Q&A session, they are aiming for 3 types of animals: Predator (Wolves and Bears), Prey (Food), Companions (Dogs, horses)... -
fixed that for you, KoS^^
-
Damn. I misread, shame on me, and that after all that ranting that people can't read....damn karma^^ And I think 99% of the voters also misread and voted, how long it took them to get geared up and not how long it SHOULD take...so no hate from me against the poll results ebcause they are rather useless I think ^^

700 megs for EXPERIMENTAL...uh what
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Slyguy65's topic in General Discussion
I think the biggest part of the patch was which means it is in but not to play with...and that thing is big I guess. -
Hm, that's how it is done. That bugs occur on stable that are NOT known from experimental is afaik very very rare. The bugs that make it into stable are just seen as "not gamebreaking" enough to delay the stable....well this time they found one or more it seems that would have been dangerous to the stable version. And there are 2 more steps before experimental: Programmers test (does it run?^^), internal server (QA team), experimental, stable....so, stable is in fact pretty stable. And expect for that one patch that caused the memory leak it works :)
-
The patch is for experimental (rolled out today), the crying here is about stable not getting onwe...^^
-
"fucked up" patches count: 0.5 (memory leak)...everything else...well...it's called alpha for a reason, ya know? And not enough updates ...play on experimental? o.O
-
Some points... You sound like a crybaby. I WANT. I WANT NOW! ....really?So "lazy"?...I assume you work 7 days a week?We are NOT entitled to get a patch every wednesday. or every 4th wednesday. We get them when they are stable enough to go to stable. Sucks, but thats the way it is. Otherwise you would QQ why there are so mean bugs in stable.Go on experimental. There is a new patch. That was their first incentive, but they stopped it, after they nearly crashed stable with the memory leak issue and changed it to "more patches on exp, langer testtimes, fewer but biogger patches for stable"

No deal here. Lies. Always lies on this forum. Look at my Signature. Read it, Look at my Signature. Read it. DayZ is a sandbox game. Main thing about is - there are nor rules. And people often behave like assholes, true, but you just have to deal with it. And don't get attached to your gear. Gearing up is part of the game but not the goal. Yes Had DayZ Mod too. Was called tents. Will come in DayZ SA as well, but first backpacks as persistent containers. (only on ONE server persistent) We will. See point 2 It's part of the game. You can't "win" DayZ. So every game is determined to lose. Since DayZ=Fun and DayZ=losing we can say: losing=fun :) No. But persistent objects (see point 2) will come. If they are still there wenn you die and respawn...well...if nobody else found it inbetween.. See the answer concerning sandbox game. see answer above. The easiest methode to find all internet dicks is by posting in this forum ;)
