Running with a zig zag inspired by LSD

Hello there I suppose it would have to be a Chinese dragon as they're all bendy or he's a fan of MLP? Now, that is trippy. Rgds LoK -
Hello there I do think that some of you guys do worry a little to much about how the game will perform weaponwise when its done. I think many elements are in game because a) to prove the work pipeline functions and to get major functions in game b. to occupy us bleating masses who "must haz SA noaw pl0x" c)something else But these elements are not fully tweaked or finalised. Knowing R the little I do and having the occasional chat with him I know he is quite the perfectionist and uber passionate about what he's trying to do in all areas of the game. He actually beats himself up over the game a little to much IMHO but then again he's carrying a lot more responsibility than me. The point being, I *do* think we will have a weapon system that's more detailed and accurate than Arma in many ways and whilst its good to keep a beady eye on weapon dispersion etc to be constructive in ones criticism rather than harbingers of doom. Its good to be wary, but positive thoughtful feedback will get the devs attention far more than "OMG M4 SUXX" type rantings. This isnt aimed at anyone in particular just generally at those who are weapon fans. Lastly, never forget that even the rifles in Arma had very suspect ballistics and handling so never expect pure science reality, but expect it to be a cut above how most games handle firearms. I have faith in the devs. Rgds LoK

Hello there *UNLEASH STORM!!!!1!!* Look at the thread, man! Look at it! These are not all antiques, baby! Sheesh! But you are correct, they are not as common as traditional firearms. Rgds LoK

great minds think alike... -
Here's how the mosin is affected by wind at long ranges. I just happened to be testing this in A3, so the effect will most likel;y be somewhat similar. Rdgs LoK ps oops its not HD. apologies, ill fix that. hmmm, watch direct on youtube if HD doesnt show up to see the ballistics report at the bottom of the screen.

@Dean Hall, you didn't touch much on character customization!

Hello there Anything I know or don't know that's not public knowledge I wouldn't be able to tell you. So, basically I don't know :) Rgds LoK -
@Dean Hall, you didn't touch much on character customization!
OrLoK replied to extremenuggets's topic in General Discussion
Hello there This is where i disagree with Dean. He worries that many folk will abuse the face system and we will end up with millions of willies pasted on characters. I never saw anything like it in all my OFP Arma days. I think he worries too much OR has shone such a light on it that its now inevitable. I can see his reasoning from a technical point of view though. Willies are gonna happen, but not all players are dicks. Rgds LoK -
Hello there This *is* doable, but the actual usefulness might be negated by the work involved. One of the tank mods (could have been IFL) had dynamic Turret numbers. There's no reason why it could not be applied to rifles. Rgds LoK

Does Dayz Standalone have the worst zombies in any game ?

Does Dayz Standalone have the worst zombies in any game ?
OrLoK replied to gibonez's topic in General Discussion
Hello there Crikey, I just dont know where to begin with this. In fact, Im not going to bother. @OP The title and slant of you post are flawed and give/make the assumption that the Zeds are the final product. That's just not fair. You may as well say that the vehicles are the worst in a game as they are completely unuseable. If you at least qualified your post with the fact that the Zeds are just placeholders and stated that you were judging them on that prospect alone then that would be fine. Or even if you were blissfully unaware that the zeds were being overhauled then we could just assume ignorance of the situation. Feedback, constructive critique and questioning are all wanted. This, to me, feels like a rant and flamebaiting. Now *if* these were the final Zeds then they would indeed be among the worst. But they are not. Rgds LoK -
Hello there I've never been lucky enough to locate one, but if I did I'd never wear a white t-shirt underneath. *bleurgh*. That's like wearing white socks, unless one is playing sports, it's just not done. Rgds LoK

Hello there Here's a little more info on making your own powders wads etc. Dont try this in real life, kids. Rgds LoK

Hello there We have to remember that concessions have to be made in terms of realism. So whilst for many of us BP isnt easily available nor are the plethora of ammo and weapons that are in game in many places. So "getting" BP from pre existing flares and ammo etc would be a fun way of scavenging, as well as occasionally finding "pure BP" occasionally. Rgds LoK

Anyone think the hunting/cooking patch might ACTUALLY come out today?
OrLoK replied to Slyguy65's topic in General Discussion
Hello there Dont put false deadlines in place. Until you hear an official release schedule for something dont get your hopes up. Even then issues can arise. The guys are working hard, you will get a great game, its going to take time, there will be heartache and joy along the way. Rgds LoK -
Hello there I dont know if its possible in real life, but it would be nice to "open" found ammo to use the contained powder within to scrounge. Rgds LoK

Hello there Here's a "how to" to make your own paper carts. Now, I know how to make the ball and hopefully the paper would be available from abandoned newsagents, but how does one obtain the actual black powder from the environment? Rgds LoK EDIT: aaaah fireworks etc. Dont forget one could use the old chimneys as drop towers to make quality lead shot.

Hello there I think the bag has been photoshopped smaller. Otherwise..... Rdgs LoK oh and... a modern 6 shooter

Charging people money to help you "make" a game....

Hello there if its a necropost report the bloody thing. Closing. L -
Hello there To be honest a break will probably do you good. 150 hours in a very unfinished game is a lot. KoS will be addressed but it will always be a danger. Get used to players being a huge threat. I played for the first time in months today and the only two encounters i had were both neutral rather than aggressive or friendly, although i did have a sawn off shotgun brandished at me and on a busy server. No shots fired though. As to difficult folk both in game and on the forum, if they step over the line one can always use the report button. Rgds LoK

Hello there Bohemia generally seem to have tried to distance themselves from the term milsim (although is is in much of their advertising) as that's more applicable to VBS. Arma 2 is now pushed as more of a game. As I mentioned before the ballistics in A1/A2 are far from perfect. Im expecting nothing milsim from the game and Id advise you not to either. It will however make nods towards realism. But it will always have vastly unrealistic elements. Just Like Arma and OFP before it. Rgds LoK
