I find the zombies have been buffed considerably.
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in Gallery
Wrong, read the changelog. Found here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/187821-changelog-stable-branch-044123800/ Known Issues: Ongoing melee balancing has zombies more resilient to body impacts. (Aim for the head)"Known Issues" means its a bug and not intentional. -
Right Trigger Now Executes Melee Attacks
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Can I ask you a question? What motivates you to make erroneous posts like that? A week ago you thought I was a hacker this week your about as wrong as you were then. You mentioned 3 new things (2 if you discount the "new" sewing kit which I'm not even sure I know what your talking about, maybe I'm wrong but I seriously don't know what your referring to) when there is actually 13 new additions, 31 fixed items, and 6 bugs. Making points isn't your strong suit. Maybe this game or this forum isn't for you? A little bit of backstory might explain this a bit better. I was using a PS3 controller with Motioninjoy since the mod and about a month ago I finally had enough of Motioninjoy disconnecting in-game which forced me to restart my machine. What I did was reinstall Motioninjoy and coudln't get it working with the controller for the life of me. Tried every version and nothing would let me use the import button to import my assinment profile and the latest version flat out doesn't work. Tried using the forums to troubleshoot and the forums are dead. So, I ordered a wireless receiver so I could use my wireless Xbox controller which I got about 2 weeks ago. So in all honesty, your probably right in that its been a few weeks since they snuck it in as I haven't tried to use right trigger to use my axe and only recently did this last night. Either way, I am pleased no longer have to grab my mouse to use the axe. Also, considering I see a lot of posts that are yelling at the devs for one reason or another I figured it would be a nice opportunity to say something nice and appreciate all that they do. -
Why wont people play in the night ?
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Vidura's topic in General Discussion
There is not a myriad of factors otherwise you would have come up with more than two and something that has much more substance that what you decided to post. When people post examples, they use their strongest example and bugs and wrong models isn't exactly an example of strength. If it was an accident, it would have been shut off months ago, just like if the lights in soda machines was an accident they would have been shut off months ago. If it was a bug, we would have a few house lights on or tower lights or even lighthouse lights. It is intentionally in the game and for a reason. Models are models and have absolutely nothing to do with code that turns on a light otherwise there would be lights present in other models that would never have a light which there isn't. I can't remember if it was you or the other guy that talked about full moon nights, but full moon lights doesn't fit with realism/authenticity either. In what world is every night a full moon night? Now that were on the discussion of magic, look at the shipwreck Riffy. People do enjoy have a shipwreck am I right or am I wrong? If you know anything about ships and shipwrecks you would know that Riffy isn't sitting in enough water to sit straight up. If that was real life, Riffy woud be on its side. Certain concessions need to be made and having street lights on is a complete must. Nobody plays nights because they don't want to look at a black screen and thats a fact. -

What makes you think its accidental? That would mean code accidentally created itself would it not? Lights just don't turn on by accident, code turns them on. -

Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Vidura's topic in General Discussion
Have you seen the average IQ in here? People would see black paint all over the house and we would have a bizillion posts about whats the black paint all about. More bodies/objects would crush server performance. Go fire up the mod, rent a server, load up the Jon-C5 editor and put bodies in every single house and post back at how laggy your server is running. As far as realism/authenticity is concerned, a body will be fully decomposed withing 60-365 days with only bones remaining so its not exactly realistic to have gore/body parts/bodies cluttering up a server. This would fall under tha magic category that you dislike so much. -

Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Vidura's topic in General Discussion
The big picture is this, people don't play nights because they aren't attractive so what happens is servers restart every 45minutes, 1 hour, every 2 hours, etc which is the most unrealistic thing in the game. Permanent day falls under the magic category. Maybe I did react a little strong and thats not my normal suit, but this is one of the more serious issues in the game that needs to be addressed and I'm not going to apologize to someone not taking the time to think out of the box. 1. Street lights are (or were…not sure since nights came back) already on, so if you like it or not the devs see the light so to speak. Just having one or two street lights on isn't working and lights are mostly in the cities. Just turn them all on. The nightplay community is dead, so what you like isn't working for getting folks playing during the night. 2. Authenticity can still be achieved. Just make the generator stations craftable in the sense that you would use in-game tools to get them into running order. Once powered up, the stations would generate power to a small local area and it'll make everyone happy. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this isn't magic and not an out-of-this-world addition. If anyone has read The Stand by Stephen King, once they got to that village in Boulder, CO. they had an engineer in their group that got the power station running in very little time that gave power to the entire town. Not exactly magic. -

Who really gives a fuck though? Am I right or am I right? Reiterating, in case you missed it the first time…lets take a hit on authencity/story and enjoy some god dam nightplay. Its people like you that screw nightplay up for everyone else. Also, if you want to be a crying ass baby about it, maybe the devs could make it so the generator stations can be managed somehow and by doing so would turn on power to specific area's. I hate to get into arguements, but replies like yours ruins options for everyone. Since were on the topic of magic, how come blood stains on walls and etc are still red? You know when blood dries, it turns black right? What about those magical bloodstains that nobody is bitching about? Oo thats right, nobody gives a rats ass, my mistake. Furthermore, if you never played night time in the past, the devs already had a light or two on already. Its in the game already for crying out loud!!! I'm just asking for more of whats already in the game. -
Blurry buildings at medium distance.
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to lolwat's topic in General Discussion
You have to realize that once they put the roadmap in place they now have deadlines they absolutely cannot miss. If a minor bug makes its way into stable branch, so be it. Not a game-breaker and I'm sure as shit the devs know about it. What I find amazing is the lack of tolerance by the community at large. Fixes bring bugs, its the name of the game. They will fix it my friend. -

Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Vidura's topic in General Discussion
Because there is no street lights. Haven't checked recently, but a while back on 3PP there had a street light or two on in a city/town…they need to turn them ALL on. Take a little hit on authenticity/story and lets have some fun night play. If they turn the street lights on, people will play…the longer they wait…the less llikely people will ever play the nights. -

Happening to me at 200M…itsa bug. -
Died logging into ARC HC server. Trust me when I say nobody was around (just have to take my word). Layed down on some grass and got 10 messages saying my leg was borked. Got back to my body and the stuff that was ruined prior to dying was pristine. Press vest before death was full of stuff and the vest was damaged, ammo box was ruined but filt wtih ammo but when I got back to my body they were both empty and pritine. Logged out/in and the gear was ruined with the original contents inside. Much strange.

Why do people celebrate updates like they are a good thing?
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Pokerguy12's topic in General Discussion
Five dollar words don't impress me and they don't make you smarter. Your direct/indirect observation still requires the burden of proof. You want to prove something is true? You have to provide proof. Until you provide FACTS to support your argument, your just another Joe in the forum whinging about something you saw or think you saw. I have no idea where you get that burden of proof is only related to an Atheist vs God debate. Simple research will show there are Legal, Philosophic, as well as Scientific classifications. If you don't want to spend the time proving a point, keep it moving. You play poker so I assume you know the term Full Tilt? That's the state your in right now. All in with 7-2 off-suit. Good luck with that and take care. Since your too lazy to provide data, I did it for you. As of this patch there is 13 new additions, 31 fixed items, and 6 bugs. Thats about a 5:1 fix-to-bug ratio and thats not even counting the additions. Count those and its 7:1. Have a nice weekend! -

Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Pokerguy12's topic in General Discussion
Simply not true. There is something called the burden of proof. If you want anyone to take you seriously, post every update with annotations of new bugs/glitches/errors that came with it. -
Will we ever get decent animations/physics?

A look at whats to come... http://youtu.be/2xYEHMdx0J4 -
I don't think the devs would leak a pic with a glitched scope on backwards and its definitely on backwards. I'm calling Photoshop until something concrete is posted. Imo, the new pistols are a bit over the top atm, like we need more pistols. Timing here makes this a appear like a joke pic.

Is the scope on backwards? Is this a Photoshop?

[Recipe] Steamed Stuffed Peppers
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
When I posted this thread, my GF saw me posting it and commented on how good these looked and suggested we make some. Baked of course! Since that time, We've had stuffed peppers on three ocassions. Here is my real life recipe: Wild rice mixed with white rice. Diced onions with fresh sliced mushrooms and garlic…sauteed with extra virgin olive oil. Sauteed diced kielbasa. Mix it all together…little fresh cracked pepper. Fill peppers. Cook at 350 for 20-25 minutes. I like to keep it simple so no cheese or tomato paste. Amazingly delicious. Next time we do it, I'll take a few snaps. -
What is wrong with this community?
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Kagayushi's topic in General Discussion
Maybe the problem is you flat out just don't understand game design? Devs should do this, devs should do that…come on man. Its really a bore to see thread after thread after thread of the same exact post. Maybe posters should be a little more tolerant of the development process and quit being a back-seat driver? Trust me, the developers know what their doing. Players are part of the environment, thus PvP is how the game is intedned to be played. Don't take my word, take Dean Hall's word: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/183232-dean-hall-on-pve/ -
[Experimental 0.44] Zombies are fixed?
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to scriptfactory's topic in General Discussion
Good, because the state the zeds are in right now isn't desirable. The idea is to have a lot of zeds, hordes, etc. You can't have zeds tough like that in numbers and have the melee system the way it is and expect folks to enjoy the experience. -
One last question, Why is it when I open my save file, they are blank and I have to reassign the buttons again? When I open my save file its just a bunch of empty buttons. Thanks!

Location: East KarmanovkaCo-ord's: 134 010 This spacious location barely qualifies as a cave. But with the partial roof, this is a cave nonetheless. Just a touch off the main road keeps this secluded property within reach of everyday essentials. Protection from the elements is minimal, but with the location being so close to Karmanovka this property qualifies as prime time real-estate. Special thanks to Hummuluis for helping me find this location. A pleasure, as always. http://youtu.be/ogzeuuD4qR0

[Discovery] Cave Hunters Volume 4
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in Gallery
I coudln't resist the floating rocks. It reminded me of the Jedi training scene [Luke and Yoda] in the swamp with the rocks. Cave Hunters is actually play on House Hunters. My GF loves HGTV so I'm forced to watch those shows every now and then. Thanks guys, appreciate the posts. -
