i just responded to this in your other thread, i think a shortened day night cycle should be the go.... maybe mixed with booyas idea, so a 5h day 4h night. But ill live with whatever it is , wont loose to much sleep over it.

NO!!! I think all servers in a hemisphere/time zone sure.. originally with the mod, it was basically locked to local time, so, by the time you got in from work, it was night in server, and i liked it... but if its locked to say GMT +12, us poor souls in new zealnad, would be playing in perpetual night, while those limey bastards would be frollicking in the sun >:( But, yes, i think it needs a locked day night cycle somehow, whether they go for the 4 hour day, 4 hour night or whatever... but to lock all servers to the same clock, would kill the game for one hemisphere or the other.

Ive gone off arma2, i just couldnt get back into it once arma 3 started running sweet, my boy loves epoch though... but i cant comment. But i have to say breaking point for arma 3 is a good mod... Its been well done and runs well, there are things i dont like about it sure, but i gotta give props to the mod team of it. Well worth checking out if youve got some time.

Where in gods name has this whole "dayz is about surviving zombies" come from... its has ALWAYS been about putting players in an environment, that will force even friendly players to do unsavioury things to survive. It is not a death match, but if you are getting pawned all the time, you probably need to rethink your game... you obviously dont have good survival skills/tactics. You dont need to hunt down other players to survive, but if others choose to pray on the weak, Good on em. now to take o quote o mine from another thread.

Yea, hockey masks would be cool... imagine it, some noob, cowering in the corner o a room in cherno at night, twitching at each noise, then he hears a chainsaw turn over, then splutter out , then again, then it roars into life... in a panick he throws out a red chem light, just to illuminate a hockey masked, chainsaw wielding physcopath silloutted in the door way... that would be so awesome! :D I dont have an issue personally with this stuff at all... i WANT hockey masks, there are so many very cool ones out there, and they would be practicle, but if they have clown masks... i also want a richard nixon mask > :( As to the fighting, i had everything yah listed there broken in one fight, three other dudes, and they put the boots in, was the only time ive ever bleed outta my eyes, collapsed my nose, pretty much took all the skin of one side o my face, i had to swallow my food for about a year after.( upper jaw was fractured, but didnt find out till after it had knitted when i finally went to a dentists about all the loose teeth) But i did use to get in fights fairly regulary up until then, where i grew up, types o people you hang out with.. Thats not who i am now mind. (although with that one, i was at a mates place, out in the country, and they came out and kicked the door in... couldnt really avoid it.)

There should be shit loads o em at the costume shop in cherno.... everyone knows pay day clown masks, and guy fawks masks are a dime a dozen in ex soviet block countries :rolleyes: Edit... should be hockey masks mind, they would be a lil practicle when it came to brawling

Ive broken most o the above in fights... if only i had a clown mask in my dumber days :(

there is absolutly nothing scary about slow ambling Z's... you could lead em all where you wanted duck back around and loot unimpeded. (like in breaking point for A3, kewl mod, but the Z's are just tooo easy) The movies/tv shows with em, rely on the survivors being retarded, to create the danger/suspense. I cant see a way o making slow Z's anything other than mind numbingly easy to manipulate.

I gotta ask, where are these affirmitive responses coming from? Its five times the damage o an AS50... last time i checked, vehicles didnt blow up one shot with a 7.62, sure the head as a module is much easier to destroy, it does seem to have a damage multiplyer on it, but i have never seen over about 30k from one(to the body it was 8k for a 7.62... even with satchels, having a few million damage, but thats spread over the blast radius, i havnt seen this sort o blood loss.) So in these servers with the adjusted damages,i take it you can take a .303, and level buildings?

Who dosn't? Other than schools?

His death blood was -539,733 not 53,000... that is suss as! even if it wasnt from the 3000+ meters the server seems to think it was.

Really? seems excessive to me... -20k -30k sure... -500,000 blood from a 7.62? Ive never seen that myself, been head shot enough times by dmr's and m14s.

id have been shootin before they stopped ;) So sure, why not the right thing

sounds like fallout.. No i say, if you want to make things "realistic", then make them realistic. sure if you have the tools you can open em more quietly. But smashing things open is realistic, houses IRL are not very secure, truth is you could smash your way straight through the walls, or roof without any real specalist gear in most houses, without even thinking about windows. I shit you not, one smack with an axe will open any padlock, ive done it plenty when ive miss placed keys etc, i dont stuff around with em, it takes 5 seconds to open one. adding in all this unrealistic realistic stuff, is just infuriating, like in fallout, you have all these hp weapons, and you cant get through a stupid door. If we want realism, we should have realism, not add gimmicky little game mechanics for the sake o it.

If you are wanting to sli, run a few fluid coolers etc, its smart to make sure you have plenty o head room in your psu ;)

Well... realisticly, an axe can open a padlock, they only stop honest people. An axe would work fine in place o all the tools mentioned bar a gas axe, for a proper steel door, with internal bolt. It would just make more noise than bolt cutters... or shooting it open (yah dont need special breaching ammo, any hp rifle will punch straight through a padlock housing like it aint there, just a case o hitting it in right place) So personally, it would annoy me no end, if yah couldnt just smash the door/lock if you have an axe, and need all this finicky crap, to open a door/lock.

Nah, you may as well just make the hive crappy, so it take 15mins to load in, it wouldnt be a popular move... if stopping people looting their own bodies is the goal, why not just script it in for it to kill you if you attempt to? Or have the option o booby trapin bodies :huh: But adding time like that to spawning is one step away from say... giving a limited amount o lives in a day... but you can buy more... that might not be the goal, but it would look like a dick move to most o us cynical ole bastards for one.

Sweet, im gonna hold you to that! (cause im goin o a KoS massacre to destroy 18months o dev time the second i loose that feelin :D )

Are you running the games as adminsistrator(or steam as administrator if running through steam) You shouldnt need to reinstall, just start both individually and run through to start menu, but make sure to change properties o the .exe to run as administrator. (otherwise it seems to have issue writing registry)

I disagree.. I think people like to throw names at people who piss them off, and if theyve come from a bf back ground, its cod kiddies. If its arma, dayz noobs ;) etc... but its all pure unadultereated BS. Its just people venting by stereo typing an individual with a preconcieved perception of a group... truth is they have no idea. Its just gamer rage, and you will see it in EVERY game, aimmed at who ever is pissin em off at the time. Nothing new here, it will be in the next genereations o games too, its kinda juvenile if you ask me, its the whole im wayyy cooler than you cause i loved XXX before it was popular thing teenagers do.. its funny in hind site(we were all once teenagers, and wanting acceptance in the group), but "most" mature players will see it for what it is. P.S. i Started(online) gaming in the mid 90s on the delta force series... that every other military shooter ripped off in subsequent years... thus i am extremely cool, and my opinion is beyond reproach B) (had to edit in the online... o course i was lannin doom and quake on the awesoness o the ole p100 & 133)

They havnt

Ive told you how to fix it.. this is an old issue/common issue, it can happen by either yah registry for arma getting corrupted, or if its a new install, not running arma 2 individually, then OA individually all the way to the start menus, to write the registry. Oh, and you must run it as ADMINISTRATOR (important)

Scarce loot at its finest! :thumbsup: i loved the patch, when they first took pistols away from new spawns, and they just spawned with bandages... and bandages stopped spawning any where else... and the Z's would make yah bleed most times first hit, and KO within three... it was open season on the beaches for new spawns :lol:

Raymond Raymond Raymond...i recall rocket as saying he feeds of sweet tears ;) I have been killed almost exactly how ole lee here dispatched this poor fellow in the other thread, i gave this dude a blood bag, just as i finished the animation, BAM, .45 to the face. It filled me with such rage, and i saw that it was good. The fact that this game could make yah feel that way about your player, that people could callously murder suckers etc... It made me take it to the next level, sorting yah self a possie, Being in a group, so an individual would be sent to the cold dark death screen if tried anything, having yah wars against appossing groups for control o nwa and starry... this is how you deal with this thing, adapt. That is the whole point of the game... not weeping about the way it has gone, get yah self a group, and take control of a server, kill bandits who dare trespass on your Territory. Be proactive, or be a victim, its up to you.. either way i give ole lee my beans for an entertaining story. :beans: had to edit in i was referencing his medic killin thread

to re use this quote from an article about rocket http://dayzmod.com/f...er-zombie-game/ "Eventually he hit on the idea to replace Arma‘s terrorists with zombies, but the undead would actually be the least of a player’s concerns. Hall was designing the game as a social experiment: Every time a player logged in, they’d be pitted against other players also hunting for supplies. Players would compete for limited food, water, and weaponry, and their anxiety would make them more deadly than the brain-eaters. The gameplay re-created his feeling of isolation in the jungle, surrounded by dozens of starving strangers, any of whom might be plotting to steal his meager supplies just as he was plotting to steal theirs. Hall wanted the possibility of dying and losing everything to drive players to kill other survivors in order to steal their rations. He would call the game Day Z, a twist on D-Day." Id say this is what the developers were aimming at... not another generic scoot and loot.
