Weyland Yutani (DayZ)

I posted this before and will post it again here. The problem is "people" don't understand that throwing money at this stage of development doesn't speed up the process. "I would say that we sacrificed the last few months in preparation for the next six months. We hired a very large number of new people, that means development slows a little because these people must be trained, adjust, etc... These people have now gotten used to the engine and are just starting to produce serious results. I think the next few months should demonstrate this." -Dean Hall http://www.reddit.com/user/rocket2guns?count=25&after=t1_chdsinv http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/252ip9/what_is_the_status_of_day_z_right_now/

I didn't see you post, sorry. A lot of those servers with a standard name and no population are paid for by Bohemia. I read something to that effect on Dean Hall's reddit.

Right now these things are everywhere. If their in 3rd-world countries, they would be in Chernarus. Google Image Search 'lifestraw' and look at all the impoverished countires that have LifeStraw's.

Its better than the other one, but I think you can do better. Push yourself and I think you'll get a good match. I sent you a PM and might be able to help with a different angle.

Find some low pop servers with a decent ping and favorite them. Find some high pop servers with a good ping and favorite them. If you want, I can return to this thread or reply to a PM with the servers that are on my favorites list…either way, send me a PM and I'll hook it up. Hope this helps.

A long way back, Dean Hall went over SA having proficiencies. I believe the video I saw he talked about medic and mechanic proficiencies in particular and the more you do them the better you get at them. I'll look for the video when I get a free minute. EDIT: So finding the video might take time but I found this from last year in the meantime: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/144263-dayz-developer-blog-3rd-august-2013/?p=1430796 I think the video might have been about end-game…not sure, but I'm on the hunt now.

You know you want a Mozzie, admit it.

What makes you think the Mosin is the last sniper system to make it into SA? We've seen the AS50 in the pbo's already, SVD is coming and it wouldn't surprise me to see a DMR make an appearance as well. We're less than half-way to 1.0 and still have a lot of distance to cover my friend. Although we did use the AS50, it was late in the mod when we started using it. In the beginning we used DMR's and those worked fine cracking skulls in driver seats as well as rotor assemblies.

Tell that to the 300 plus choppers my squad downed in the mod. Thats probably lowballingly modest as well. Also, easy pickens on parachuting survivors. Absolutely can't wait for choppers.

Irish, when was the last time you had a spontaneous shoot-out at a castle?

Location: North Eastern Air Field Hive: Stable/Harcore 0.44.123800 In Memoriam: 34:36 Our off-world colony is a small group and we've recently decided to expand. This is our first night with three new members from these very forums: Cowboy Titties [shylock], Cowboy [Nosten], and Diesel. Let's just say that mistakes were made, but we had a lot of fun and that's all that matters. http://youtu.be/3k0POkyDKI4

Originally it was approx 50 minutes so there was some edits. I definitely thank you for the critique…I do appreciate it. This is my 1st long vid and any sort of feedback does help. Thanks again!

Reiterating what Byrgesen said, find stable servers and favorite them. It is the only way and works for me. Only time I get wiped is on servers I'm not familiar with. Hope this helps! It really is the only and best advice.

I don't like the idea of kill messages because it gives up anonymity to the entire board. I think it would hurt role-play as well as game-play because the board will see message after message on the screen…especially for those capping film. My suggestion is: to keep the player name attached to the dead body indefinitely [until it despawns]. What happens is you kill someone and when the body gets cold or hid its an 'unknown entity' which is problematic if your trying to record proper evidence. This happened to us the other night. Our group killed a hacker and the one that killed the hacker hid the body too quickly before I could get to it and check pulse for a name to corroborate his hacked contents [infinite ammo…he was teleporting as well].

Not sure what Chrony means. You got a nice cinematic video with a thumb that looks like an ad for egg-rolls at a Chinese take-out. I mean that in the most constructive way possible. If you have Arma 3 you can take a nice aerial cam pic of somewhere in Chernarus which might a nice touch. You can add fog and stuff too.

Very cool vid, but you got the get rid of that thumb. It really takes away from the video. Good work!

Nothing wrong with what you did son. You did the right thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_(military)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

No.

Roadblock for what? Zombies driving cars? Whats not to get? Poor = poor = not enough or little to no resources. A lot of the towns have no fire protection, grocery stores, hardware stores, etc etc etc. Hardly any buses, old wooden boxcar trains, not a single school, no municipal vehicles and who knows how far away an industrialized region is. Furthermore, why would a broke country spend what little money they have on an even more broke down farming region? They wouldn't and that's why there isn't any. Chernarus is a fictitious region based on locations in Czech Republic so there is no way to cross-reference real economical data anyway. Therefore, we can only deduce an economy based on its components which as stated above...are lacking. Also, Chernarus could have gotten over-run in no time flat which could easily explain why there was no attempt at NATO/UN send relief. When a region is unprepared for a natural disaster or etc, relief takes time...a few days at the least for relief to be on site. This happens in the US all the time. Maybe the infection hit too fast for anyone to take on such measures. Some of these towns look like they have a population of a couple dozen to a couple hundred with the bigger cities having a population of a few thousand at best. Not enough resources, not enough hands, not enough time. Shit could hit the fan and turn any one of those regions upside down in 24-48 hours. Folks would be too busy scrambling for their lives. You see the televisions and radio's in the houses? Those radio's look like their from the 70's. I can easily see the infection hitting and a farmer grabbing some essentials before literally running for the hills. Also, whats cutting down a tree going to do?

Dried blood looks black and not red.

Don't forget this region is a poor region. Maybe materials and resources weren't available in such a poor region?

Brian Hicks also known as hicks_206 [producer for DayZ] has made it crystal clear why this is: to keep people away from Tent City. Check his reddit as well as his twitter. Reiterating, he goes by the name hicks_206.
