I feel the same way. I know a lot of the hardcores would label me a casual for it, but whatever. I especially feel the first person frame of view is terrible.

I see these threads all the time, but I seriously don't understand how someone can really be looting for 5 hours and never find a weapon. It takes me like 10-30 minutes depending on where I spawn.

Yes. I use a lootmap alt-tabbed for navigation and objective purposes.

Question for the "Just play Left 4 Dead" crowd
Dingus (DayZ) replied to Tranquility (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
When I read ZDB post I imagine him as a toned, bearded lumberjack giving me the rawdog in the back end. That's how sexy his posts are. -
It definitely effects gunfire. Part of my play style now involves heading in doors when I pull a zombie and just picking him off with others not even noticing. I think the intention of the wall dampening of sound was to prevent footsteps from unnecessarily aggroing zombies outside, but it seems to be applied to weapons too. I think I honestly feel ok with that though considering the changes to vision aggression.

You opinion on zombie aggro range?
Dingus (DayZ) replied to Shaimou's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Like I said in another thread regarding 1.7.2.3 Also, the poll can not be completed without answering question 3, for which I have no answer. -
Server Names All Messed Up: How Can we Tell What DayZ/Beta Version They're Running?
Dingus (DayZ) replied to -Cdn-Chard's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Like I said, I use the gamespy server selection within arma 2. I don't use six launcher to select. Gamespy displays more exact server info. -
Server Names All Messed Up: How Can we Tell What DayZ/Beta Version They're Running?
Dingus (DayZ) replied to -Cdn-Chard's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I always go by the beta version listed in the server info. The arma 2 server browser displays this at the bottom right when you have a server highlighted (1.61.9XXXX or whatever). I ignore servers without the latest beta or without the extension after 1.6X. As for what day z version they are using, I take their word for it, and if it's wrong, Day Z will alert me as I log in or not let me log in. -
Does anyone else sometimes log in unconscious?

I've heard of this a lot, but never happened to me. -
[UPDATED] Weekly Stats, PvP Trends
Dingus (DayZ) replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
What I noticed last night in the two different servers I was in, different than normal, was the percentage of zombies killed out of those totally spawned. The new changes to zombie aggro mechanics clearly is forcing more players to engage them. I would imagine this would cause a downward trend in pvp. This is something that would be better represented in numbers for next week though. At one point there was under 200 alive for 400 spawned on the server I was on. Usually barely any are dead. -
You need to stick around hospitals until you find some or military medical tents. Good luck.

I prefer to have the enfield and use a sidearm for zombies.

I don't mean to make you feel dejected in any way. I'm sorry things came off negatively. -

Yeah. I think so. Good luck. -

It's not defensive, you were just wrong on an internet forum. You were corrected and now it's over. Don't worry about it. -
Bad Serial Number Given at setup
Dingus (DayZ) replied to Jasmer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Probably will be something steam support should address I think. If they gave you a bad serial, they should give you a good one. -
What's the weirdest way you have died?
Dingus (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
In prone position, open a door, door hits my head, knocks me out, takes 9kish blood, and leaves me bleeding. I bleed to death unconscious without a zombie or player in sight. Another time, when my friend and I were first playing, we were checking out a small farm. We managed to get a lot of aggro and we are running and running, him a bit ahead of me. We go up this hill, and he's telling me he's going to start shooting. He turns around and shoots me in the face and kills me. -

NOPE >_> -
[UPDATED] Weekly Stats, PvP Trends
Dingus (DayZ) replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm sure ZDB will keep and eye on it and provide more data later. At the moment it is a perfectly fine sample that allows him to make the presumptions he's making. He did not say "it will keep going down into the future." He is saying that for these two months, PvP has decreased, and his sample is more than sufficient to make that statement. -
Where'd you hide the animals, rocket?
Dingus (DayZ) replied to Shock4ndAwe's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Like this. I find most in farms near cities. I also find boar/pigs in the forest fairly often. -

Zombies or Gun shots in town?
Dingus (DayZ) replied to shazbot04's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Like I said in another thread, the new zombie aggro mechanics forced my friend and me to light up a big town, and I think everyone left. But yes, shots typically point me in the opposite direction, or at least move further away so I can get a good point to scope it out.
