Don't let crafting destroy this game
Calvin Candie replied to Jonah_Hobbes's topic in General Discussion
It is EXACTLY what I am getting my kick out of. And if you try to ruin my fun I'll introduce you to my old pal Jumping Jack. He's a two barrel shotgun who will say hi not once but twice. Feel welcome to visit me at my camp on Prud lake anytime. -
Quarterly Status Report - Quarter 1 2015
Calvin Candie replied to SMoss's topic in News & Announcements
I am so looking forward to seeing these changes actually improve gameplay. Keep on grinding devs, we believe in you. -
Dude, I am pretty confident you could open a can of beans with an old rusty crowbar, let alone a knife. With none of the contens spiling. Opening a can with an axe -> 100% I am pretty much sure that if I imagine a real apocalypse I see no can openers there. Ever. :D

The OP is genuinely concerned with the new update and is rightfully asking a retorical question: who will make hotfixes now as easter holidays are coming. Many people will want to play dayz and a pretty bugged update has been launched just before that time. Or am I missing the point?

Simulating verbal communication with mic chat
Calvin Candie replied to Pokerguy12's topic in General Discussion
The thing I noticed is that there is no more emotion inside the ingame chats. Everyone are pros at surviving and its like "meh, I just killed a deer and 10 zombies, plus some bandits, wassup?" -
A guy with an axe killed 3 of you, maybe its time to consider solitaire XD. Although, nice story.

I enjoy following people. Makes you really use all your abilities to stay hidden. I like to track down groups. The more the better. I observe how they go about their business. They usually raid towns one after another. One thing amazes me. You know those players that play the "safety" role in the group? The ones that stay back to guard the group's 6 from any bandits? They usually completely miss the spot where they are usefull to protect their group. And they tend to guard 100m of ground. Word of advice. Bandits are in the hills. Scoping you. Behind bushes and pine trees. Look at the ground at 300/400 plus meteres, then you may discover a stalker. No use staying crouched for 5 minutes behind a barn. You are easy target.

Weapons that degrade require far too much cleaning
Calvin Candie replied to infiltrator's topic in General Discussion
I say take out this crap out of the game completely. It is hard enough to hunt, maintain my garden, collect water for the base, find plastic bottles in the first place, keep the base safe. Besides. What is stoping a troll from degrading weapons on purpose after finding them. Pops in a mag and wastes an ak101. I am all for realism but weapon cleaning kits? Its just jumpimg through hoops and no realism since actuall automatic weapon would take an hour or two to clean! And civilians would not even know how to clean it. So...have some mercy...I do not want to deal with guns my entire time -
Survivor GameZ Qualifiers - Training Montage
Calvin Candie replied to GonzoPoet (DayZ)'s topic in Gallery
Very nice montage, it grabs your attention as the scenes get more outrageous. -
Oh, but they can wield M4s like Chuck Norris, start fires like Bear Grills and swim with full backpacks. Yeh. That is your average joe. Maybe the survivor was a pilot who knows. Get into the spirit.XD

There is still time to save this very cool rifle. Alpheeeerr

The intersting thing will be how to pratice flying! So you finnaly get the parts for the damned thing and you crash it 10 seconds after take of XD

Have you ever run into the only other guy on the server?
Calvin Candie replied to IgnobleBasterd's topic in General Discussion
10 people on the server. 5 of us in my team 5 random people. Or we thought they were random We loot the prison at NWAF, I guard the door. A guys pops in I kill him. Turns out they are a team of 5 as well. Outcome. They wiped us one by one. XD -
Guys guys guys. Wishes are one thing and I respect that, but tested experience is another. Consider the Mod as invaluable source of test-iterations. There were helicopters only for transport and there were small buzzers which also had guns. The transport helicopters were awesome. I cannot emphasize AWESOME enough. You are scrapping through some crappy town just to find your next can of beans and then you hear and see a helicopter flying over your head and think how many man hours went into that and how significant effort that was comparing to you finding a can of beans. Great feeling of gameplay depth. You feel as a part of a real living world where anything is possible. Combat helis with guns? Not so much. They pretty much wipe you out instantly if you are in the open. Imagine that thing wipping out your entire base in one pass. Or patroling the coast to kill freshies? Unfortunately, trolling possibilities are endless as is the supply of trolls. Lets go moderate with this and then see how it works. They can always add stuff later.

Is it true that 0.55 on stable will introduce first AI changes and part of the renderer?
-
Yep. Seem like that. The game is called "DayZ. There is a Z for reason. Why would they make the Zeds secondary? Makes no sense. :insert confused Jackie Chan meme here:

"Missing question" during PAX East: Storytelling through Player Interaction
Calvin Candie replied to ☣BioHaze☣'s topic in General Discussion
I am hoping you are wrong but afraid you are right. Survival works best if you eliminate the biggest threat. And killing the biggest threat is not that hard, is it? -
That means if you have 10 fps folks, after first implementation you will have 13 or 14 fps. Give me a moment to curb my enthusiasm right there :D Anyhow, I expect a steady 60 fps in the cities once we go beta.

What can be done about ghosting on public servers?
Calvin Candie replied to gankaskon's topic in General Discussion
Yes, ghosting is a real big problem. But for who? Are you chatting 10 minutes with your future hostages? And do that many people actually ghost? And btw dude. It is a part of Dayz. So...that ship has sailed. If theres one thing I do not like, it is a butt hurt bandit crybaby. -
v3s climbing (even more) nerfed in 0.54?
Calvin Candie replied to ThePhilosopher's topic in General Discussion
Am I the only one blazing in these trucks at lightning speeds? What is the problem? Latest one I stole, or found, depends on what your point of view is, got me from North West Airfield to Vibor in matter of seconds. That is the truth my friends. -
I feel like I'm always being watched... and I usually am.
Calvin Candie replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
I never observe a town or a base for longer than half a minute prior to heading inside. I feel if I stay longer observing, the chances of someone entering the base will increase. Better go in while it is empty NOW. Anyone else thinks like this?
