Dingus (DayZ)

I haven't met anyone who did this to me yet, but maybe you'll be the first. Most of the time I get no reply and I shoot if they are armed. If I get a reply, it is usually a friendly bit of banter, maybe some co-op looting, and then we part ways. I'm aware some people are like you. I just don't know a safer means to deal with it without turning into the people I don't want to be. Been playing a while now and have been doing well for myself.

AMD Phenom 2 Quad 955 running at 3.4 AMD 6950 2GB softmoddded to 6970 firmware Everything runs great at high. Haven't met a game I had to tone down yet, but I also play at 1680x1050, so there's that.

Pretty sure I've written this in another thread before, but I can play along. Friend and I creeping around Cherno looking for bags before heading North, making our way to the hospital. We spot someone with a crowbar running. Then we see the pack of zombies on them. They turned to us and began running our way. I didn;t know whether it was going to get a crowbar to the face or if it was them training zombies on us. I decided to put to shots in him at a distance and clean up his zombie mess. Approaching his body, it was clear he was of no real threat and probably just wanted help. I don't typically "murder." I act defensively. I usually call out on direct coms first as well.

I agree. It is shitty, but it is the way it is. Store up some food and liquid and hike it out into the edges of the map in search of them. Most of the time, they are loaded with equipment too.

Shocking

yes, a link, to take me to... a link

From what I understand and experience, vehicles are permanent objects in the server. They spawn with the world and remain as such until players move them around. They have some specific locations they typically spawn in, but it can still seem kind of random. Most servers have clans or groups who have found and hid these vehicles already, and being permanent, do not find their way back into the map for other players to use. Vehicles spawn in various states of repair/disrepair and with various fuel levels. Most vehicles you find, you will need to fix up to get in tip-top shape. Vehicles are also coded now to despawn/respawn if they have not been moved in a week's time. I'm not sure, but I've also heard there is a set number of vehicles, and if some are not desired (like boats or ATVs), they can be destroyed to get another to spawn somewhere at random.

I have read threads recently of there possibly being some issue with tents saving their inventories or location. I do not know if this is actually the case or not. I do know that sometimes when a server resets, for a period of time, tents and vehicles seem to not spawn, but show up eventually. Maybe the server reset for the beta patch, and things went missing. Check back later maybe. Otherwise, maybe there is something related in the bug report board.

It's ok. I haven't been on the boards in a little while. Maybe everyone knows this stuff already now. I was used to answering a lot of questions.

If this is true, it would be a little distressing in general. I just don't see anything to substantiate the story.

If they are friends, then let them speak on your behalf. I just think a dev would want to reply to something more than heresay. Good luck to you, though.

In Arma 2, you have to choose between your backpack or a rocket launcher. So if you want to carry around a launcher and it's 6 space ammo in your primary inventory for these special circumstances, be my guest. Not trying to trash your thread, it just would seem kind of unnecessary in this game. and yeah, there is the one in there already, as the hopper is referring to

But he's right.

I would love to see people running around with rocket launchers. More loot for me to store in my pack as they will have no room for anything.

I don't know what is going on. It's not my business. I just know if I were a dev, I wouldn't bother responding until it was clarifies how.. or what that means. It came to your hearing how? Who told you? What gives you this idea? etc etc Again, I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, if anything, trying to help you make your thread more appetizing to be replied to.

Hope I'm not necroing this too badly, but I can add that I have noticed the makarov in particular being extra shittastic. It used to be about 3-4 rounds to the body to down a zombie with it, but now it literally takes 8-12. I have not bothered shooting a player with the new makarovs yet, though.

That's weird considering there were 2 of them on one of the US #500 servers, one of them up right after they crashed their other one. I couldn't be bothered to video tape them as they rained M249 rounds on me though.

So long as information isn't blending between the two, it's no big deal and all I'm arguing is philosophy and preference. I just don't want to see a version of the mod come out with server "options" that shares character data with the rest of the hive.

There are choices. Why does it have to happen to this mod, this game? There are multitudes of coop zombie killing games. Day Z SP is just an incredibly slow one of those.

Probably, but don't care enough to go back to it or edit my post.

Some people have the uncanny ability to be wholly entertained by repetitive tasks in solo gameplay. For example I canNOT enjoy minecraft by myself. I did for maybe 10 hours when I first got it, but then it was dead to me. I had people tell me "oh well you're just not creative" where as I just didn't feel like I was playing anything. It's not like Legacy of Cain where there is active story or objectives. It's there, do something with it. SP Day Z is the same way. What am I going to do once I have a bunch of food and weapons? Shoot zombies that respawn in minutes anyway? I guess it's a matter of preference or personal taste. "Sometimes I want/dont etc" This argument I take issue with. You create two entirely different games with the statement, and it seems to lend to the idea that you miss the point of day z or simulation games at all. It's just a frustrating bit to read. And it's not an issue of being "canon" or not. It's just not the same. But I guess it wouldn't be crazy to have a modified mod, and I know there already are. It just conflicts with me on a conceptual level. People say "this is what is 'fun' to me," and I want to say it's not about "fun." The act of it not being "fun" makes Day Z "fun" to me... as weird as that is.

This is my position as well. Funny.

That's what the devs tell us, but when weird stuff like this happens to me, the few times it has, I still get suspicious.
