This. They offer little in terms of actual hunger boost and take up a slot that could be filled by more useful items. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way for a piece of fruit in comparison a tin of beans.

Presumably you, you are the one who "should" care as you have started a thread about it. Sometimes it's quite handy to know what you are actually talking about when you are talking about it, just a suggestion. As for the actual issue, I imagine the FPS problem will be resolved over time. There is still content constantly coming into the game and I imagine they will add it with the best resolution possible, as time goes by the devs will likely optimise the graphical content. In terms of the lag, that will be looked at now as it clearly impacts on the way the server interacts with clients as well as other core elements such as loot and zombie management and player slots.

How to deal with hackers now combat logging has been introduced?
rickyriot posted a topic in General Discussion
I should point out from the start that I agree with confronting combat logging. It is far more prevalent than hacking. Hacking will always be there and if I spot it I log out and go to a different server. The question is just how do you deal with hackers now the combat logging is implemented? For example a couple of days ago I was wandering about in Electro, up in one of the buildings near the fire station, climbing down the stairs from the top floor. I hear someone come over the voip in what sounded like a Scandinavian voice. I can't work out what they are saying but I presume it's someone outside so I go back up to the top floor to look out the window. I then hear laughing. Ok, bit odd. Then out of the wall (in a place that can't be reached normally) an unarmed guy wearing black t-shirt and jeans runs at me. I fire off a few rounds and hit him but he disappears through the adjacent wall. So it's a hacker, what next. I decide the only solution is to run and I make my way outside only for the hacker to appear through the ground floor wall of another building run up to me (at a significantly faster speed than normal sprint) land a couple of punches and disappear through another wall. I got a few more rounds into him and it's clear he's bleeding. I think the only solution is to find open ground so they can't run out of nowhere. Sure enough through a wall he comes running towards me on open ground. I can now empty my clip taking him down. I waste my full clip in the c*nt to ensure he's down and stays down. I then make my way to another building to check my gear and take stock, not least because non hackers will have heard the commotion and no doubt making their way towards me. I am crouched in a nearby one floor building and through the wall comes another hacker, whether they are the same I don't know but they are the same character/clothes as before although the first one was definitely dead. I fire off some more bullets and hit them but they run through the wall to escape. All I can do is run, run and run. I dodge through the town not caring if other players see me and somehow lose them, and find a sheltered area to log out. I go to swap server, and need to wait for the timer to run down, and when I join the new server, I am a fresh spawn. Clearly the hacker knew where I was and robbed/killed me while I was logging out. TL;DR? I got caught out by a hacker, not in a fight but they robbed/killed me as I was logging out. How do we resolve this? -
Well to be fair everyone looks smart in comparison when playing with American friends.. ;)

What time it's getting night and what time morning?
rickyriot replied to Stafftiner's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, ignore me, I am thinking of the mod. Oh, those clever bastards, I never even thought that might be the reason for the earlier sunset. -

rickyriot replied to Stafftiner's topic in General Discussion
Rougly 22:30 - 23:00 for sunset, round about 6:00-6:30 for sunrise, iirc. Of course the light also depends on the cloud cover. Edit: Wait? What? People are saying 7? Right I am clearly getting confused with the mod then. -
I was meaning the experimental, I only play experimental because I am such a hardcore gamer at the cutting edge, surfing the digital wave, and all that. ^_^ Seriously though I'm sure i've seen change logs that mentioned that the zombie AI had stopped them attacking each other. I had presumed that was out in the wild, as it were. I know that they can hit each other when you engage in melee with more than one Z.
-
In terms of muscle memory I have a real problem with "-shire" and "-shite" which would probably be fine except I live in the UK where a lot of the local councils and counties have "-shire" suffices. I once addressed an email to the Renfrewshite Council (Renfrewshire) as part of a tender process. Not ideal.
-
Hitting each other is now removed. I've not seen it in a while and I remember a mention of it being fixed in one of the change logs. Not sure why they stand there and swipe into mid air. I've always presumed it was because they'd killed someone and the body has disappeared and they've been left in a little loop. That said I've seen it on fresh servers too.

The spelling or the zombies swiping away at nothing. If it's the former, wait until you get older (presuming you are not old now) that's when your ability to spell suddenly disappears and you freak out that you are developing Alzheimer's, and if it's the latter then wait until you get older (presuming you are not old now) that's when your ability to spell suddenly disappears and you freak out that you are developing Alzheimer's. Ha! Sorry, just fucking with you. Yes, the swinging zombies are quite common. I like to play the game where you walk up to them, sometimes they twig you are there, sometimes they just keep on swinging into nothingness like there is a missing dimension.

"instanz" Ok, I'm done now, sorry.. ;)

I know it's pretty bad show commenting about your own posts, but in reference to that video I posted up there, I am now going roar like a tiger then shout the line "Don't make me assume my ultimate form!" over voip in all my future DayZ battles.
-
Ah, cheer up OP...
-
Are we talking mod here too? If so that could be quite a high number! As for SA, it's all relatively low in terms of deaths. Kills: ~10 TIme Played: 100+ hours Reasons: Two reasons, 1) they had shot at me or, 2) they were wearing cowboy hats.
-
"realised" HTH :)
-
Have we got past the point where all the lamecore players stop being so insecure and throwing tantrums claiming the hardcore players are all just campers? No? Oh, well, I'll pop in later to see if there's been any improvement...

Log out with broken legs kills player.

It didn't for me, I can assure you.. :( -
That's just this... ...suggesting we are all just a dream, within a dream (within a dream (within a dream (etc) ) ),

1) Take joke made in another thread 2) Create it as a new thread 3) ??? 4) Profit. You still get my beans though ya wee scamp...

They weren't vampires but you they were affected by sunlight. They weren't zombies either I suppose but if you were looking to pigeon hole them then I suppose that's the category they'd fit. As for the intelligence, I don't really want to say too much as it's a massive plot spoiler for the book. Not the film though, as the film is as close to the book as day is to night.
-
Out of interest why does the OP not put the caveat for both poll options (shit movie, excellent book) as anyone who has read the Matheson classic story will know it is head and shoulders above the Hollywood dirge fest that was served up.
-
For example, ЧЕРНАРУС = Chernarus.

Really? THE.. WORST.. THING.. IN.. EXISTENCE! :o Seriously though, I take combat loggers as an implicit compliment of my gameplay. Clearly whoever does it feels they have absolutely no chance of winning against my superior tactics and gunplay.. :D

Actually it's gaffer tape in the UK .. ;)
