Why you don't need to server hop to get geared.. ever.

My mistake. -

MarchHare replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
Why would a thread about server hopping be moved to KoS? The only references to KoS I've read have been in pro-hop posts. Or replies to those posts. We get it, hoppers need to do so to feel fulfilled in their game experience. It's just a shame that they take such a narrow view of DayZ. Granted, there are not many of the features as yet ingame that will give hoppers "more to do". Though I feel that when those features go live hoppers will still spawn------>maxgear------>deathmatch. -
Most recent post is 26June. =/= Confirmation of animals in .46.
-
I have yet to find any wildlife > 1-2km from town. *haven't seen ANY since .46. Maybe intended to mitigate server load. A herd of deer in a pasture 15km from player population is wasted load.

I believe that loot overall will be reduced upon release of beta. In conjunction with a respawn algorithm. This, along with character "conditions" may shift player focus to survival and away from high turnover pvp gameplay. With admin controls, some servers will remain pvp exclusive and others will cater to survival. I hope. Those of us who DayZ as survivalists currently will only be more fulfilled as time goes by. -
I believe this is a feature they are working on implementing in the future. Partially reliant on server side improvements. Not ingame atm.
-
It was stated that critters spawn within 1000 m of towns. Can't confirm as I am rarely that close to town.

Deathmatch Shortgame: The only way to get phat1337lewts is to hop. Survivor Long game: Survive. Necessary materials come to the patient. -

I never said I drop gear to prevent hoppers from looting it. I drop gear to prevent anyone from looting it. Valid RL strategy. You wouldn't leave a weapons cache for insurgents to loot, would you? -
Found an MP5K at NEAF on a 40/40 server, giving it away! :p

MarchHare replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
I have been on the same server for over a month. Found plenty of long guns, No AK yet but I've dropped 2 M4's in the woods since .46 and will do the same to any Mikhails when I find them. I pack a 1911 with 2 mags when I find a Longhorn I'll drop the 9mm, a Magnum, splitting axe, machete, combat knife, 3 canteens, pre-update Bi-nocs(found another pair in jailcell today so confirmed on stable), sticks, rope, medicals, matches and assorted food. I have no need to 1337gearhop. -
How will you play, Hardcore or Standard
MarchHare replied to WashedUpPoet's topic in General Discussion
I play both. And will continue to do so. -
How are we unofficially going to call this type zed
MarchHare replied to basinox's topic in General Discussion
I will ONLY refer to them as "Dennis" or "Dennises". -
YT Wobo, Science of DayZ. Great video on the effectiveness of clothing, bp's and contents against bullet damage. Surprisingly INVERSE proportionality of # items to damage received in some cases. Vids a bit old but still topical.

How is hardcore mode different?
MarchHare replied to UltimateGentleman's topic in General Discussion
Ninja Cloud Monkees. That's how. -
Gun movement is not synchronized with crosshair...
MarchHare replied to Sputnik (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I've solved my weapon "sway lag". I don't carry a long gun. Will hunt for a Longhorn today, though sniping holds little interest for me. That said, IRL my long guns vary in "lag". My "tactical" rifle and I pivot as one when properly shouldered. Longer "hunting rifles" delay a bit but certainly not as much as ingame. Ingame is more like firing from the waist. I believe they will dial it back well before beta. Edit : title refers to "cross hairs". Confusing misnomer. Dot reticle or center dot. -
One hit wonder zombie, bug or intended?
MarchHare replied to AfterShave's topic in General Discussion
I've been (very occasionally) one hit by zeds since .44. It happens. Mostly when crouched. -
No fun, sourpuss. /sigh...edit: You cannot definitively say they are not spawning. You can only say you have not found one in all of you frantic, albeit noble efforts.
-
Pics or it didn't happen.

Holy crap!! Choked on my juice was laughing so hard!! Edit: @Frosti. Quote function still not working on my home desktop.

Yucky posts like this start and perpetuate rumors by "asking" if rumors are "true". Kinda FauxNews like.

MarchHare replied to darkgritty's topic in General Discussion
Try not to get troll juice on the door on your way out. -
Most of us close all doors. Everywhere. Edit: It's best NOT to "loiter" in the barracks...or anywhere for that matter ;)
