Debug monitor : Unsaved, Free Target and Humanity
Madfast replied to Sephirvine's topic in New Player Discussion
They are no longer shown,as they are no longer needed, you must have been watching someone play an old version. Humanity currently does nothing and your character position is always saved now. Back in the day it used to save every 300s ish or on log out. -
I have found an Ak-47, AKM, m1014 and Remington 870 and g17 at that military base. And that is from 2 visits. Chances are you hit the camp after it had already been raided. But it is one of the best spots for easy military loot soon into the game. Also pro tip, zombies won't follow you into the tents.

Unless you are having a heart attack, using a defibrillator is going to kill you. Despite what media would have you believe, it is not a magic cure all. It basically only works if you heart is quivering irregularly (fibrillation) by forcing the heart to momentarily stop so it can resume a normal rhythm by itself. If you get shot enough to die and thus warrant some kind of resurrection, you are going to need a trained trauma team, a fully equipped surgery room to have any chance. I don't think this fits in with the atmosphere of the mod at all. In an otherwise mostly "realistic" and harsh world an almost pseudo magically item to bring you back to life after suffering multiple bullet wounds or zombie bites seems incredibly out of place. If you want a resurrection item, I suggest pixie dust, you can't prove it isn't real and unlike a defibrillator it could do something besides help a heart attack victim who isn't yet dead (and possibly kill someone isn't).

Brand New, LF Coadventurer have vent/skype
Madfast replied to InsultGaming's topic in New Player Discussion
Me and my friend will show you an "adventure" :). -
It is huge for a very good reason, the map was developed to be able to cater from very small infantry missions, to huge Team vs Team combat with a large variety of Infantry, vehicles and air units. This map was developed for a Mil Sim game, not for a zombie game. A mod, which has been out for a few months and is still in very early alpha may I add, happens too use it. Perhaps just be happy with what you have until other more pressing concerns are dealt with. Also this thread has been made a million times before.

Unconventional Weapons: Non-Lethals, Homemade and more
Madfast replied to ElemenoP's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Just thought I would say, tranquilizer guns for use on people, to I assume rob them, is far far from a non lethal weapon. You know why anaesthesiologists make so much money? Because you give a person a tiny amount too little sedative, they don't go to sleep, tiny amount too much they don't wake up. And it varies massively from person to person. When it is used on large animals, the most common use, who are more resilient than humans, they have to monitor the animals vital signs constantly and often administer an antidote so they don't die. And the time they have is very short, either because they didn't use enough and it will start moving very soon, or because it is going to die. It is probably less lethal to shoot them in the foot, or to club them round the back of the head. It is not the safe "knock you out for 10 minutes" television and film makes it out too be. -
make the crossbow 1 hit kill again for zombies
Madfast replied to LeYuno (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I apologize, perhaps I did jump to assumptions and if you could consistently get headshots pre-patch it is likely something else is the cause. I was just trying to vouch that headshots, and thus 1 hit kills on zombies, are still possible post patch. -
make the crossbow 1 hit kill again for zombies
Madfast replied to LeYuno (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Well as I was playing with chickenfeed this time yesterday, on the 1.6.0.1 patch, and watched him kill 5 zombies around a deer stand with headshots, not to mention saving my ass multiple times when an alert zombie stumbled across us. Perhaps getting a headshot is as easy as chicken makes out, and you are just not as good as you think you are. -
Has Problem With DM, Gets Classed As "Carebear"

WTF is happening to the server community.
Madfast replied to Koot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I don't really understand why people seem to have a problem with PvP. I rarely get killed by players, but that is because I adapted. Back when the mod came out and people were generally more friendly, I could feel quite safe approaching declaring my intentions with no risk to my safety. But when I noticed more and more people were unresponsive to my positive interactions and less willing to trust, or downright hostile, I adapted. Just make sure you don't blindly go anywhere, I always keep low in cover, survey an area before entering it and constantly scan for any movement. And if I die its because I wasn't careful enough and someone got the drop on me. And now I only ask if someone is friendly if I have the drop on them, if I am in a position to win the confrontation. And that was good enough, most people were willing to be friendly if they knew you were and they couldn't kill you. And I managed to group with quite a few people that way. And when I was in a group I always made sure I had the person constantly in my sights and they weren't pointing a gun at me. And you know what the benefit of playing carefully and cleverly is? I rarely die from PK, I haven't become a "Cod kid", which is a stupid phrase, if these people wanted to play CoD they would, there play style differs from yours, no need to try and insult them or group them into one big bundle, it is the same as calling people carebears. The main benefit though is I don't feel the need to bitch on the forums constantly. So to summarize, if you spent more time learning and adapting to the game (you know how survival works and all) and less time complaining on the forums and trying to force the game to adapt to how you play, you would probably have a better time and more importantly I wouldn't have to see a million repeat threads complaining. Just ask yourself if this really happened what would you do; 1. Learn, adapt to your surroundings to survive as best as possible 2. Or fall to yours knees and pray to some divine entity to change the surroundings to suit you? Because I am seeing a lot of people doing number 2 at the moment. -
It isn't currently possible, but I do believe rocket said he may consider adding in some kind of DayZ lite further down the line. Also @QbertTK I quite want a lan mode, but I guess I am no one, what having an opinion that differs from rocket and all.

[WAR] Pandemic Legion declares war on the imposter legion
Madfast replied to Pallidum's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Of course because crying on the forums and "declaring war" on someone because they said something mean about you is the height of maturity.
