Has dayZ succeeded in being a different type of game?
Scofflaw replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
When I first started playing, I didn't know about servers with 2h resets. I joined a few servers, and I swear all I could find was rotten kiwis. My first week of dayz was spent running around starving to death. Now my character is obese. -
Has dayZ succeeded in being a different type of game?
Scofflaw replied to stielhandgranate's topic in General Discussion
I think it could be something great down the road at some point. Right now, there is a lack of things to do, so it might not appeal to everyone. I like the survival aspect, but it's really not difficult staying alive and healthy. The only exciting aspect right now is getting into firefights with other players. My personal suggestions to make this game feel more deep, is to add vehicles and base-building. I really does feel like a hiking simulator sometimes. -
They don't work yet. It's just a visual thing for now.

I've been server-hopping nearly full 40 player servers for the last 2 hours and I haven't found a single other player or zombie. I've been between Novo and Berezino a bunch of times, and I haven't seen anything. I'm not even bothering being careful; I'm just running down the main streets. Not a single player or zombie. I've been playing on/off for the last month, and I haven't seen anyone else in ages. Where is everyone??

I'm going to take another break. I watch dayz mod videos and I really want vehicles/bases/different maps/etc. I'm so bored of running around looking for people to shoot/interact with.

Please wait... (while someone puts a machete in your face)

No feel-good story ever has the acronym ATC in it. -
The major appeal of this whole thing is that you can do what you want. I like to take breaks, and each time I come back I try different play styles.
-
I walked into an apt building. Legs exploded.
-
Some of my favorite moments have been just KoSing everyone I see. I spent hours in Berezino shooting everyone I saw, then having search parties come kill me. The insults I had thrown my way were quite funny. It's fun being the bad guy sometimes. It's fun to mix things up sometimes. I mostly just play the loner in the woods role right now, and it rarely gets my adrenaline going.
-
Good, now I can use hunger as a valid excuse to shoot everyone, instead of boredom.
-
Quite a dramatic post for just shooting some AFK guy.

People need to Do This Stuff More Often
Scofflaw replied to over9000nukez's topic in General Discussion
The only reason I like the video is because I'm picturing myself taking you all out with a mosin from a long way away. Then even in my little daydream I would probably still miss and get killed. -
What is the rarest item you have ever found in DayZ?
Scofflaw replied to trimpampano's topic in General Discussion
Found a longhorn for the first time ever, server reset, then when I got back on it was gone. 2 hours later, another reset got rid of my MP5. I've only seen 1 press vest so far. -
Does carrying a sporter 22 make you a more 'friendly" player
Scofflaw replied to HeroAtDay BanditAtNight's topic in General Discussion
I only picked it up once, shot a few zombies with it, never used it again. -
I don't know if my client is bugged or something, but I spent all morning in that new city on a nearly full 40 player server. I didn't see a single player or zombie. I got bored and alt-f4.
-
My leg broke and I died in an apartment building. Not going back.
-
My character right now has a fully kitted AKM, but there are almost no zombies for me to kill, so basically all that's left to do is go kill people.
-
Never surrender or give up, you'll just end up as someone's entertainment.
-
I found 2 mp5s so far, and I managed to find a mag too. I also finally found the longhorn. For some reason, the next time I logged in the longhorn was gone, and the next time I logged my mp5 vanished. Oh well. I'm not a big fan of the 9mm round, but overall I like it for close quarters.

Excessive leg breaking ? (Experimental Build)
Scofflaw replied to Kryoten's topic in General Discussion
On a related note, I've noticed when I join servers, I often hear a loud grunt. I've joined once and had the "MY LEG IS IN EXTREME PAIN" appear and I died on login. -
Excessive leg breaking ? (Experimental Build)
Scofflaw replied to Kryoten's topic in General Discussion
He's reporting an issue he's having in experimental, which is the entire purpose of this forum section. -
I had some wild pvp in the new city. It's a crazy setting for shootouts, lots of windows and buildings. Frame rates aren't bad either, surprisingly.
-
zombies are just annoying to me, ESPECIALLY with the UI lag. hit button to get pistol out -> nothing happens -> hit button again -> nothing happens -> hit button a million times -> gun comes out -> gun goes back into bag -> swear -> try to run -> try to get gun out -> stops running -> right click -> zombie jumps through me -> gun goes away for some reason -> get shot by someone -> spawn -> alt-f4. Day Z.
-
Agreed. On the big servers, most of the high quality loot areas get picked clean fairly quickly. There are legitimate reasons to server hop sometimes : kick = join servers, cheaters, accidentally joining a nighttime server, getting bugged/glitched into walls, etc.
-
It makes survival more difficult because right now the solution to no respawning is to reset the servers fairly often. The super-short restart times mean way too much food/drink. Of course, I don't know if they're going to try to prevent server restarts when they implement loot respawning.
