So and so.... killed so and so by a 450 m shot from his Mosin So and so.... cut so and so...in half with his M4 so and so...Nailed so and so... in the forhead with his .357 I would like to see a message like this just under...."you are dead" on the blackscreen There would be no immersion killer that way for those that are soooooo..... immersive!

    Might be able to squeeze through at the end,if you ditch the backpack ;)

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    Nice screenshots,well done!
  5. Scott61

    What has the standalone become ?

    Ok,Due to the majority :) srry bout that ;)
  6. Scott61

    What has the standalone become ?

    No,I mean "do to the majority" Due is when... is like when paying Due's to be a member or your rent is due ;)

    Hide things in empty Crunchin' Crisps boxes.

    throw it in a pair of cargo pants along with two slots of ammo or whatever,then in your backpack ;)

    What has the standalone become ?

    Over 300 Hours in DayZ now,and I have yet to see a Hacker... seen a few with poor internet connection issues rubberbanding around but no hackers Dean mentioned the game is fundementally flawed,do to the majority of us that hide in the woods with no interaction with other players for fear of being KoS! Which pretty much ends any "Multiplayer" aspect of the game other than trying not to bump into other players while looting I find it hard to believe that in only three servers used,all had Hackers :)

    Is there a way to practice shooting?

    I go to the North,up there when Pop is low on the server I open up like an Outlaw on a town using all of whatever guns I'm packn' If rifles with scopes,I shoot as many Zeds from as far away as I can or run in there with my SKS and just start blastn' eventually switching to handguns/and or sawed off shotgun while in buildings etc That the way I practice shooting,using Zeds for targets :) Rifles and handguns are pretty damn acurate in DayZ ;) and no,there is no windage
  10. I think the game is coming right along,the new towns in the North,the new guns and new features etc. with latest patch are awesome :) As for cooking and hunting and being able to hide a backpack to stash away that will all come ,just need to wait ;) Deadlines,sometimes best not to make deadlines so that way people don't have any reason to complain that deadlines are not being kept.I imagine it take a lot of time and work/testing for things like this so try and just enjoy the game for what it is abd what it does have for now, while waiting patiantely for what you want ;)

    thermal scope

    Make the loot rare just encourages server hopping IMHO

    Zombie Hordes!

    Ya,the Zeds and Hordes and how they act has been threaded and posted on... to death... There are plenty of threads around to post these questions that have all been posted on already ;)
  13. Scott61

    Deaf players...

    There is one server,that is a deaf server and has a Warning at start up to type first before shooting I can't think of the name of the specific server right now,but will post the server name if I come across it again
  14. I've cleared lots of small towns these past couple of days,the Zeds are not endlessly spawing I can clear them with an SKS no problem at all I can also outrun them,sneak past them whatever.... it is a lot harder than before but that is good as the Zeds were way to easy before! Before the hotfix,I had major Lag and desync issues which were the root of my problems with having a gross amount of lag Since the hotfix though,killing Zeds and or running from them and clearing towns has now pretty much become as easy as before

    Gathering Wooden Sticks From Trees?

    Yes hopefully one day they will introduce being able to actually make sticks from the trees and bush as long as you have an axe, this has been mentioned before on these forums.
  16. Scott61

    Mushrooms of the forest

    How about being able to eat all the Pumpkins laying around,there are pumpkin patches in every town ;) Mushrooms would be cool :)
  17. Scott61

    Zombie behaviour

    All great idea's,would be nice to see a variation of them Can't forgot about Hordes slowing moving through the cities and countryside, having stray Zeds falling inline to grow the Horde...every bigger!

    Rolling Update Rev - 0.43.116251

    They kind of grow on ya,I am not having as hard of time with them now it has been a few days with the new Zeds.I can sneak around them,axe them and outrun them as well as blast them with an SKS or pistol while running from them.There spawn rate doesn't seem to bad anymore and they do not spawn endlessly as every town I have axed and shot them all until gone. Since the patch fixed the lag/desync issue I am finding the new Zombies entertaining,they do have super high powered sight though Keep up the good work,the patch was chock full of good surprises and the quick help with the hotfix got my game back on track and I am loving the new Zeds With how they tune into gunshots ,it definately no doubt will start making some to having to "think before they shoot" Which is welecomed and a step in the right direction mking Zeds a danger to all including the trigger happy :)

    Help me understand..

    Yes,it has been posted on youtube I also have had a guy attack me out of the walls,then he highjumped out through the wall and finished me off lol Server hopper most likely spawing inside the wall logging in and out of servers looting clean the airfield over and over on many servers to get "geared up" Private Hives wont fix the glitch in the wall,but would curtail server hopping for Gear gain!
  20. Not once did I say they should be Nerfed ? not sure where you gathered that from... The rest,since the "Hotfix" I do not have the Lag/DeSync" dragging me down and the game runs fluid again so it is much easier to play,thus the Zeds do not seem that difficult I am entilted to change my opinion whenever I wan...Especially as I live in a Free Country! You should not try to take what people say out of context!

    Arma3 Third person fix mod...thoughts?

    I totally agree,that is rather lame being able to turn the mouse view and see around corners lol If that was taken care of it would make 3pp a lot more interesting Other than that,I like the choice myself,I play both hardcore and regular and like having to characters and versions 3pp view is excellent for taking screenshots all geared out in far away places :) I myself get more awareness in that view,hardcore view tends to make me sick to my stomach after awhile and I lose orientation with that view. while on regtular servers I switch tro first person view a lot,and it is nice to hve a choice to be able to switch back and forth! All about choice I suppose... ;)

    What im i doing wrong ?

    I go North or East to begin with unless spawing in Electro,check all hgouses that are made of brick as they usually have the best chance at loot.Also the large Mansion looking house with Bay windows similiar looking to Police stations,they usually have food and weapons.What everyone says is true,Hospitals,Police stations,Firehall towers all produce weapons and food with usually medical supplies around as well. If the doors are open on houses most likely they have been looted,and the looter or looters may still be in town so be carefull.Once a packpack has been secured,an axe with plenty of beans and soda I head straight North and never look back.Looting is much better up North as there are less people all the time so loots - a - plenty ;) All sound advice above,so follow it and try and try again as the game just gets easier ...once you know your way around and it takes starting over quite a few times for some to learn the game/map/loot places Once geared up.healthy and at least some weapons I set out for airfields and militaryt bases as more of a need than anything for better clothes with more pockets,large backpacks and better weapons.I prefer the LRS on a Mosin so seek that out the most with everything else secondary. Keep trying,it does get easier :)
  23. Been awhile since my post so I quoted myself ... :) On my laptop,generic humdrum rig it was very difficult to deal with Zeds with graphics way down although on my desktop,custom built gaming rig not too bad actually. Since the patch my laptop runs the game the same as before with large cities lagging it down but nomore than before so things are back to normal.On my desktop Pc I can see them better,and definately spot them quicker as well they do not seem all that hard to kill or even clean a town out now since the patch....a small town ;) Spent this morning,in the new town North of NWAF in both regular and hardcore and in both versions I snuck into town as sneaky as I could be... Axed a couple Zeds,looted the Hospital and the Police station among a couple houses and when done and was sure no other players were around I opened fire :) Shooting Zeds,until there were a few and I two handed on my gun run out of town turning every now and a then shooting them down in a line as they come at me.I noticed a few Zeds spawning almost as quick as I was slaying them down but fortunately they were respawning where they died so still had to try and catch me.I managed to run out of Zeds eventually ;) Then I worked my way back South,looting and slaying Zeds at every place within site as I lumbered along in my newly chosin direction,needless to say I killed a lot of Zeds this early weekend morning. The patch has renewed my game with no disconnection from servers etc. and the game starts right up as well my game play seems a lot better.The PopUp about the damage texture for the 9mm ammo box is gone and no longer popsup.So everything seems right as rain in DayZ again :) Now my game is running smooth,at least on my desktop dedicated PC the Zeds I would agree could be a litte bit harder.Not any faster as they are now as there plenty fast when they want to be now.Would be nice to have more slower Zeds though with the odd ones being fast or in a perfect world random slow and fast Zeds alternateing there speed so players can not get use to which ones are slow or fast ;) Making them a bit harder to kill would be good,specific head shot with the axe only for a one hit kill with anywhere else lobbing arms and or legs off may be interesting and with the new physics being worked maybe some day we could see hacking a leg of a Zed and having him keep coming at ytou crawling along the floor or road with his arms dragging is one attached leg along and the leg you chopped off laying on the road....that would make for a slow Zed lol :) I like the Zeds now,now my game and the servers are running good again so yes I would like to see harder to kill Zeds,with alternateing slow and fast Zeds to surprise us.Hordes of slow moving hungry Zeds herding up as they move throughout the countryside as they pass other Zeds standing guard somewhere as they seem to do. Decrease there visual a bit would be all I ask now, as they still can see way to far away IMHO I also noticed this morning playing both hardcore and regular that I no longer took a lot of damage fighting with them with my Axe close range although I have started to be more accurate with my hits so it could be just getting better moving and hittting them especially with the desync fixed as my game runs fluid now again! Good job with the patch and hotfix for all involved ,especially the new towns there really a welcome change to those areas.Please leave the Zeds as they are hoping you take consideration into varrying the speed of them...and the Hordes...we must have Hordes of them aimlessly wandering around through city's,towns and the countryside :) Thanks for all the new toy's/GunZ ....Zeds and clothes,being able to camo paint our guns(Awesome addition), as well as the "eat all" feature(major plus IMHO) Respect is not something that is gotten on demand,but something that is earned IMHO The Dev's have my respect,they really pulled through with a very good update,and a quick hotfix There ain't enough Beans in Chenarus for you guy's,so you'lle just have to excuse my earlier post and accept a thank you for the excellent patch ;)

    Rolling Update Rev - 0.43.116251

    I like to shoot Zombies from a distance with a LRS on a Mosin,it's my favorite thing to do ;) When Pop is down low on a server,I also like going in all Clint Eastwood like...into a small town blasting everything in site lol lots of fun now with so many Zeds and the way there spawning in now!
  25. Scott61

    I HATE playing 3rd person servers.

    You want to play Hardcore,then go play hardcore! Why do others have to change because of what someone wants for themselves lol I play both,Hardcore and Regular and like it that way being able to have two seperate identity's to play with and cultivate makes me laugh how there are so many people that want this game the way "they" want it lol
