JiJi (DayZ)

Many streamers are only into PvP -> short lives/don't care about it. It's because & for the show I guess.

About AK107/108 : ...so this weapon is not even use by Russian, and you wish to get it in Chernarus for the shake of weapon variety ? - No.

We still need live information, not just from charac animation in inventory window.

I am not a moderator but Cpanther calm down please... You have started an interesting topic, now don't digress with "karma" (ingame or not) or ad hominem attack.

Errr... I never meant this is Good, and that is Evil. I just speculate about a psychological effect on population engulfed in madness/chaos, and their relationship with religion or "mysticism". No further.

Imagine a world in hell, where your past prayers have proven useless. Consider that world as a (nasty) gift of your God for your faith and devotion. Then imagine yourself as infected : you see symptom on you, you will turn as a "zombie" soon, it's a matter of days and you know it. Cursed, no remedy known. Will you give up and sit to pray your "unfair evil" God? - Or will you struggle to find salvation from...elsewhere. Human despair lead to desperate attempts. It is not because there are orthodox church from the good old days that people would stick to that traditional faith. I expect to find on zombie (once lootable) various useless stuff such pocket format Bible, Qran, ritual stuff (gris-gris), or satanic, voodoo, Budhist statuette, also herbals pills (even homemade) alchimist stuff for healing, and plenty of esoteric things ("magic" mineral stones, runes, talisman, amulet, incens, etc...).

05 August 2014 After a little hope with 0.47.124641 Still many duplicated stuff exploit (mostly M4 with infinite magazine/bullets, and high-end gears) Legit players seems more than never jaded and bored with that...

You guys claim you would never surrender, not because you are "brave", but because in spite permadeath current game (and death) is not a big deal. When (or if) passive skills implemented and charac developped them for many hours, and with combat log not allowed, you will change your mind :P

Hello OP, A Steam issue ? So you should deal with Steam, not here first, not with devs (they just cannot do anything for you).

20/07 From various stream sessions, strong resurgence of cheated magazines. New hack or duplication on large scale?

This is why devs said they dislike idea to let players write (spray paint) on wall, and so why they will not proceed with this suggestion (at least for voice). Now for my only point of view, kicked shortly after or not, it would just kill immersion to let kids shout bullsh*t all around the map. Noway please.

Only tone/siren/melody - Nobody does voice IRL : from a acoustic basis it would be awfull for clear understanding to solve reverberation, echo, multi-source overlap. Only radio broadcast would work for voice. According to this picture, there are some of this, but Chernarus is not Russia

A little island facing Solnichniy, from where you would have to swim few minutes to finally reach coast, act as respawn timer as Rigor Mortis said.

We must recognize that troll was very tempting. Especially when one ask anyone to make a mod for him.

UPDATE (link) : Useless zombie loot (25 June 2014) Backstory & memories strengthen game credibility or immersion. Instead a narrative overview about how life was in Chernarus before Z event, I've imagined a "loot for lore" that serve that purpose. Explore the world and pay attention to those old 80's Polaroid films found if curiosity leads you. No great revelation, just tips and winks, collect them for the same reason people have with collectible card, or just take a look and drop them if considered as useless loot. My recommandation : Ingame object settled with generic face down texture (while faces up are 512x512) for better performance. Would have to pick up and "inspect" to flip and see picture. So far I've got some twenty films, and it would be easier to get more since I've made frames, layers, and script. I will be pleased to help anyone whishing to implement them (I can't myself : I have no skill with 3D or coding) when DayZ will become modable. If devs like the idea and plan to do it in vanilla DayZ someday, it would be a dream :wub: -that's why I've posted here in suggestion forum. PS : If you want to talk about Polaroid camera (used by players), please post in Byrgesen suggestion thread.

Useless zombie loot (25 June 2014) It is usual to have pictures of your loved ones. Many have family album, and many have pocket photo in their wallet. During crisis it makes sense to keep family pictures in your Bug-out bag. Not just as mementos : you would show photography of your lost family member ("Have you seen him/her?") to any refugee or survivor you would meet. Or pin it on missing wall. This Is Your Story ...That's what DayZ trailer said. But what about infected/zombies stories? It is not my ambition to write their, it is not really for the lore or background. And anyway it could not work unless zombies become "lootable" (they don't currently), but however here my concept-suggestion-work : One would think a random picture could be unrelated to zombie model where you found it on. But here lies the interest : make you wonder about dead zombie past life. Is this his son? brother? father? friend? or him as a child? Is this her niece? her husband? her parents long time ago? etc, etc... By wondering so, you unconsciously re-humanize the no longer "just another dead zombie". It was a human once and has a life, and (s)he just been your victim. Of course you have had no choice, but... You feel the discomfort? :rolleyes:

According to current dead corpse disappearance delay, 10 minutes cooldown would be fine.

I think it's another tacticool wet dream...

Well, that's what devs claimed when they announced that (I think it was on a very early patch < 0.3xx ). But I trust them, because dead corpse even if inanimated are still simuled as "dynamic", with container ability. Perhaps later (when game will become beta) they might allocate some resources to a kind of "pool" (with max number limited, extra newest corpse erase oldest one, etc).

:( I've mentionned it to Dean Hall, but no solution found so far. And if even it would become possible to fix that with the new renderer, he said that change is "not very high on the priority queue"

Have you ever wondered why dead bodies disappear ? ... because of "performance", not by choice, so forget about it.

Sir, This is your very first post, and this is the worst idea I ever read so far. :(

Boats first, only then Chernarus will really needs a river.

Maybe it's a sociological problem. Most of kids and even young adults cannot wait long time on a chair (waiting room, in bus or subway, etc) and not using their smartphone. Typing reading message, or just keep an eye on it. They do that to pass time, to keep their minds busy, nothing wrong because nothing else more usefull or entertaining to do when you have to wait. On a so-called "running simulator" you spend a lot of time to only run. The desire to make the game more alive to bring fun & social communications sounds legit. But this is Chernarus : a post-apocalyptic world. There is no relay antenna, no internet, and no magic way to hail a stranger far away. Quit your old geek-conservative habits for a while.

NO. - You already have text chat (with same range as direct voice chat). - Are you eager to be constantly spammed with childish chitchats & smiley ? It ruin immersion. - 2-meter band Walkie talkie are not Short Message Service GSM. What next? a pool for bandit/hero skin - because dayz mod >:(
