Can Nothing be done about MetaGaming in Dayz?
Accolyte replied to yorkmorgan's topic in General Discussion
I too understand where you're coming from. However, changing the sound input is probably as much of an extra step as connecting to a TS server. Probably even less effort than that as it's literally one click. Sure, not many people might realize this at first but the word would spread fairly quickly. I personally see no reason to do this. Yes, people will communicate through 3rd party programs and get an advantage, but the same can be said about literally every other multiplayer game that is out there. -

Taking things to an extreme: if we (somehow) prevent people from using 3rd party comms, they will use their phones instead. Will you then demand that we make it so that people aren't able to use phones while playing DayZ? -

Like I said already. It's being worked on, if you don't like 3pp, play on hardcore. Camera clipping is a separate issue that is not necessarily tied to 3pp itself and is being worked on. -

Many other games have VOIP and people use TS/Skype/Mumble/Vent rather than the in-game VOIP, yet it's still there. -

1. You ------> Hardcore servers 2. Nothing will stop players from changing the monitor's gamma settings. The point is you don't have to use your phone. Just changing the sound input in game options will do the trick. And that option is kind of necessary. Why not? -

Ah.. good point. However you could simply change the sound input device in the game to use a different (silent) one and use the normal mic for Skype or whatever. -

That wouldn't solve anything. It would cause a huge uproar in the community and can be easily counteracted by muting you microphone either by using a mute switch on the headphones' cord or in the sound control panel. -

1. Nothing can be done. We can't control what programs people run in the background unless they interfere with the game (hacks). 2. Night will be worked on further. 3. We are exploring ways of dealing with this. In the meantime, I would suggest playing on hardcore servers. -
Hi, I've seen this a while back, but have been unable to reproduce it myself. None of my colleagues have ever encountered it as well. Can you provide more information on the issue? How are you attaching the scopes to your weapons, where did the scope and weapon come from, are you attaching the scope from vicinity or inventory menus? Please list as much information as you can. Even if you feel it's stupid or irrelevant. Thanks!

Why do .22 mags spawn exclusively in military loot pools
Accolyte replied to TheScruffyBandit's topic in Suggestions
I suppose this would make sense. I'll bug the right people about this and we'll see what happens. Thanks for letting me know Boneman ;) -
The team that's working on DayZ consists of many people who I personally respect immensely and am sure are the right people for the job. Your analogy does not even remotely relate to game development.

Hey, as others have suggested, try verifying your game cache. You will sometimes encounter this issue, but it should go away by itself fairly quickly. It's just a matter of textures not being loaded fast enough sometimes.

Hi, antivirus (or any other external) programs will not get you banned. Regarding bans, please contact BattlEye as nobody here will be able to assist you. [email protected]

Hi, it's possible that you're causing a server crash. Can you describe what you're doing around the time this happens? If you could upload a screenshot of your inventory, I would gladly give you beans as well.
-
Hi, this seems to be your player camera clipping through your backpack, not an actual graphical glitch. Try getting a different backpack for now. EDIT: Maybe changing your FOV a tiny bit might get rid of this issue, but that's just a hunch.

I think I'll quote what Dean said in one of the interviews as I feel that it would be really nice if people actually got the message. "It doesn't take money to fix bugs, it takes time"

feels like DEVS have no time to listen
Accolyte replied to TheHuntsMan87's topic in General Discussion
Rawrr.. stop it you :blush: Why thank you, friend. For the record, even though I don't respond to every single post, I read a LOT of the stuff that's on here. I then try to get the interesting/problematic stuff to the others somehow. -
Blood types are randomized upon spawn of each new character. This is true. You have to perform transfusions of compatible blood types otherwise you will die.

Different editions of the game do not differ in performance... ever. But it was me who wrote that!! >:( :lol:

thinking about getting a private server in the future but
Accolyte replied to -HOTG-Odin's topic in General Discussion
Hi, eventually, this will be possible, yes. It will take some time however. The purpose of alpha is to test the game and to test the game some ground rules need to be laid out. These will be less strict as we get closer to release of the game. You will be able to adjust a lot of things once modding is allowed in the game. The current terms of use for servers can be found here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/ Hope this helps. -
I like your attitude.

playing different characters on same pc, different steam account
Accolyte replied to Starmag's topic in Troubleshooting
Hi, this should not be possible. I tested this about a month ago and it was working fine. Note that the main menu screen displays the last played character no matter what Steam account is signed in. Once you actually log onto a server, you should always load the right character. -
Proper Evisceration & Decapitation Would Be Nice
Accolyte replied to Deathlove's topic in General Discussion
You know, I personally would understand cannibalism. It makes sense from a gameplay point of view - another source of food. But having mechanics like pulling out teeth with pliers just for the sake of having the mechanic doesn't make sense to me (all the weirdness aside). -

Accolyte replied to Deathlove's topic in General Discussion
I'm not exactly sure what realism has to do with any of this. But yeah, all of these make perfect sense and are absolutely necessary. :) -
Clearly there is no "ongoing" problem since you are the only one experiencing it. There is however very little we can do based on your report. I think you'd agree that you didn't exactly provide a lot of information for us to investigate the problem.
