How Big Is The Day Z Developer Team?
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to 360Nation's topic in General Discussion
Prove: Srsly: Last thing that was mentioned was 50+ people. Maybe already including the new guys. And Death by Crowbar...you know that there's an "Edit" button, right?^^ ..AND you know that Dean is NOT leaving now, right? Bullshit. Sorry for that harsh word, but...nah. I don't wanna answer to that. Sry, I'm a programmer and such sentences just make me wanna bang my head against a wall. -
Rocket standing down from Dayz by end of year
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Hetstaine's topic in General Discussion
He announced in June 2013 already? So your question is rather pointless... And he didn't make millions - DayZ belongs to Bohemia. He is employed there. Sure, he'll got some royalties, but i doubt that the sum is so extreme high as some people imagine... -
The Ruger MKII Is Coming, But Whats It Like?
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
sry pal, didn't mean you with that. But well, maybe a non-surpressed variant will come as well and the surpressed one is here to have at least one weapon with a working surpressor? Just my thoughts^^ Just for you: -

The hacker problem seems small in retrospect
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to Demoth's topic in General Discussion
Counterstrike. Every version ever made, but especially 1.6. Until VAC was upgraded to a better version it just didn't really work. And I don't talk about the Interps, I mean real hacks... Funny thing: The game where I saw the least amount of cheater was...LoL. Sure there were cheats, but I always had the feeling, that Riot is an evil banning machine that works pretty fast... And if you want to advertise hacks, just go to youtube...you'll wonder for how many games there are cheats sold... -
Ah cmon. What's the wait/play ratio for a normal player that experiences the timer because of a crash/server restart etc.? 1/100? I'd say even more if you stay on favourite servers.... So for every 100 minutes played you have to wait one minute. That is FUBAR?^^

Try RMB? Because sometimes you will have your fists in...aiming mode. You can't see it but it reduces your speed... But if that's not helping it may be a bug...

The Anti-Game - Why DayZ will stay a crappy game
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to tommes's topic in General Discussion
Edit: Cleared of insults. ...what a sentence. Do you even think before you write? How can you skip something, because it's irrelevant? How would you know? That's just paradox. I wrote the answer to this, I don't know, 5 times, here. Stop skipping parts of posts because they may hurt you and read them. But I'll be so nice, since you already skipped this part probably as well, and write it again: It's fine for me, that dayZ is no fun to you anymore. It's fine for me, that it may never be fun to you anymore. It's fine for me, that, like you put it so eloquently, "will suck" forever for you, because for you the core mechanic is flawed. There is NO reason that I could give you to show you that you are wrong, because you clearly like the wrong things in this game (as you said before: basically only the firefights), so it may never be the right game for you, only, maybe, when private hives+private servers come, where the map is reduced to Cherno and everyone starts with a M4. Additionally it is an OPINION: "DayZ is no fun to me anymore". That's perfectly fine to me as well. Why should I bother or try to convince you otherwise? I'm not some kind of moron that feels the need, that everyone has the same opinion as I do. I hope you, like everybody else, find something that is fun to you/him/her. Once more, even if I trolled at this thread: I respect your opinion. But please respect that other ones may have their own that may differ from yours, and will always differ from yours. While it was ironic it was also the truth. These two things do not exclude one another. But maybe you didn't understand it. That's also fine. With that being said, I'm out of this thread. If you actually read this time what I wrote, and have additional questions, feel free to PM me. -
The Ruger MKII Is Coming, But Whats It Like?
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
^ True. Since it has a built in supressor (and this one works, since the on/off state of the others is the problem ;) ) it will be the first silent firearm, and for sure it will be a very common spawn in the beginning for testing purposes, but will be reduced very fast... -
Afaik it has been said that the Zombie AI is only a placeholder (and a copy from the mod) while it is worked on the "real" AI. Don't know if it's true, but if, Pathfinding is not a core part of the AI, maybe "calling" it sometimes but working on its own level..

The Anti-Game - Why DayZ will stay a crappy game
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to tommes's topic in General Discussion
But my opinion is only about your opinion, not about the topic where your opinion is about! So it's emberassment is your emberassement since you made this thread and stated your opinion, which is not more valueable than my opinion about your opinion! And that's not an opinion. And if there would be no vulnerable point you'd answered to more than the figure of speech I used... The irony^^ -
If I'm not totally wrong, this might be the "large specialist" team of devs, Dean was talking about, the ones that are responsible for animals+hunting+Pathfinding of animals and Zeds...

Server hopping will only stop when random loot is implemented
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to rodolfoxiii's topic in General Discussion
As far as I know, this is the way it will be implemented (if the Devs didn't change their mind) : At server start only a random, small amount of loot will spawn. Everything else gets a random timer (half hour was minimum as far as I remember) for intial spawn, if somethig gets looted, the loottable gets again an randomized timer like it was an initial spawn... -
True. Look here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/171375-dayz-sa-starting-to-crash/?hl=crash Never experienced in the main menu, but as written in that linked thread, ingame sometimes...

...and now imagine this in DayZ. You'll get ripped like hell. Best. Training. Ever. XD

Head movement = Free-look (pressing "alt")...so like the head movement ingame^^ Aiming, body-moving, shooting: as usual: Mouse+keyboard. (if you don't use some fancy device like a omni treadmill for movement and a laserpointergun to shoot ;)

Made from fans: And about native support: (Alt-free-look for OR: )

The Anti-Game - Why DayZ will stay a crappy game
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to tommes's topic in General Discussion
Ooooh I hit a vulnerable point and the poor boy could not answer to anything, so he had to hang on the only thing that is left for him, no matter how small it is. (the figure of speech I used. What were you thinking?) It's ok. You are safe. Don't cry no more, sweet princess. -
Summary of dev Q&As from streams

Server hopping will only stop when random loot is implemented
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to rodolfoxiii's topic in General Discussion
The goddamn ALf-pic made me laugh...and forget what I was going to rant. Damn. "Flashlights per day is more important": Ah, I know. look at my signature. Now back to me. Now back to my signature. Read it (not the part about the server rules). Think about it. And from the last live stream, I quote Hicks: -
The Anti-Game - Why DayZ will stay a crappy game
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to tommes's topic in General Discussion
I got your point when I read the opening post for the first time: The concept of DayZ is broken, beause you feel that the time/fun ratio is not good for you, and player interactions, which would make it interesting, are either KoS or awkward "hello", "bye" and nothing special. And I think everyone else, without the tl;dr department has also gotten it. But what I don't get, is why this opinion needs an own thread and countless posts that are all the same: "My opinion is superior to yours because it is." Did you see my thread "Why DayZ is DayZ and not candy crush (my opinion about the SA)?" No? Well, that's because it doesn't exist. And it doesn't exist, because it is MY opinion and I don't feel like I have to stuff it down everybodys throat. Again: It's fine that you have an opionion. It's fine with me that it's negative. But why on earth to you feel the need that everybody has to share your opinion, that everybopdy has to feel the same way, that your experiences will also experienced by others? Maybe there are people that will feel the same way as you do now. Maybe there are people that will never feel the same way. And you know what? That is fine. They don't have to. And I got like ~100 hours in the SA (I'm not one of the real hardcore players with more than 200 hours already) and...I don't even know how many hours in the mod, far more. So saying "You will see some day if I'm right or not." sounds a little bit...like a 5 year old complaining about this new game he has played, and you find out it's Super Mario 3...you just want to pat on his head and say "It's ok". So: "It's ok". And my comment about facebook...well...since you like to stuff your opinion down the throat of other people AND you like candy crush, facebook would be IDEAL for you. Just MY opinion. -
The Anti-Game - Why DayZ will stay a crappy game
LaughingJack (DayZ) replied to tommes's topic in General Discussion
Plain simple: You are a moron. Not because I'm a DayZ fanboy that has hurt feelings because of your negative comments, but because of sentences like "Well, let's say you seem to get easily excited." "If you still get excited about DayZ you're in this early phase of a relationship, where everything is new and exciting, but I've done the mother often enough to see behind the mascara. Those scars can't be fixed. You just don't see em yet. Have fun while it lasts!" "There are many people with lower expectations than mine." etc. Your standards are YOUR standards and they are not the standards of anybody else. Your expectatiopns are YOUR expectations, that doesn't makes them the highest expectations for all of us. See where I am going with that? O Yes O No O Alpha Cross one. Do you really need like 30 posts in an own thread to share your opinion? Did you really NEED to share that opinion? Why do you still argue? Nobody said that DayZ is the ultimate game for everyone, but like 20 people said "if it is no fun to you, it's fine, play something else, to me it is fun at the moment" to which you reply with the same sentences over and over again. I still don't get the point of the thread. "I'm not whining or complaining or making suggestions". So you said your opinion. And repeated it over and over and over again and even resurrected this thread after it was gone to repeat it one more time. I'm glad that the rest of the 1.5 millions players don't do the same here, it would be a real mess if everyone opened an own thread to write down his opinion. And believe me, your opinion is not more worth than anybody else's...or, is it? You are special. Your opinion is unique and valueable. You need to tell everyone how you feel. You need the attention. My suggestion: Write on your facebook account. Hey, you can even play candy crush there! Edit: There is an "Edit"-button, so you don't have to make doubleposts...
