Is it worth buying Dayz standalone yet? [With Developer responses]
benedictus replied to Blade4777980's topic in General Discussion
I gotta warn you theres a whole alot of trouble ahead of you once you get past the first zombies.. That being said, I enjoy the game already as it is at the moment and have got more fun than my moneys worth. -
Yes, your absolutely right it doesnt make surviving harder but it brings more sources to get food. Once you have more ways to obtain it they can simply reduce the number of :beans: spawning.
-
What I want to see is a computer running the game smoothly on a 100man server in elektro with all this clutter around. And same goes with the OP picture, sometimes you just have to do reality check to make sure you on the right track. IF this was a singleplayer game and if the map was 30x smaller, you can create all the unique gore art you want but when you have this huge sandbox where there hundreds if not thousands of buildings, its just not that reasonable to expect detailed, unique graphics presented to the gameworld, not that Im against it though.
-
No cause so called "surviving" isnt in the game yet. Finding canned food isnt what surviving is about. But its coming, 0.45 brings us closer to it.
-
I just cant see how you calling people brown-nosers helps the game getting better. Anyways have fun.
-
Yeah or could it be that they actually enjoy playing allready and they have the understanding that not everything in this wolrd happens instantly by a click of a button. If you hate the game so much, dont play it, wait till they launch it and come back. Cause your feedback is irrelevant.
-
Yes, and if you are buying computer and planning to play high end games dont buy laptop. Gaming laptops are joke, expensive joke I might add. You can never get the juice out of laptop you would get on desktop. Basic physics, size does matter.

EDITED - PETITION: Should a sound be made when we log on and off?
benedictus replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Id like to see a huge pink beam shooting up to space when people log into servers. -
Its suprising you that games dont develop themselves or by snapping fingers? Ok.
-
Exactly, whats your point?
-
Bambis can kill geared toons if they are not wearing biker helmts. Just offer one proper fist into the middle of the face. E: Not sure though if the ernegy/hydration levels affect your resistance to KO.
-
True true, but there needs to be a clever way to implement it. Pushing character creation forward could do it, adding height, weight, face variations etc. But Im not sure how doable that option is since the player avatars would be in different sizes and that would just cause more problems/coding to get the items fit. Armbands, rags + dye? = armband.

Whats the fun in that, you see from miles away if its your friend or not OR in hectic gunfight situations were you loose sight on your friend -> just check for the red hovering circle/nametag. Whats so magical about these messages, since the "feel-o-pad" hasnt come out yet it has to be a small text that tells your that if your hungry or wet or whatever. I mean, you feel these magical signs in real life, why wouldnt you "feel" them in the game in a form of text. But identifying people from distance by some hovering name tag or whatever is gonna take sooo much fun away from this game, even though it would only work with friends. Communication is a big part of the game, but when your friends are glowing in all possible colors of neonrainbow you dont need to communicate and try to be organized that much. I hope DayZ will remain the hardcore-one cause A3 mods are already taking the more casual road.

Do you want to see personal statistics on death? ex: Killer, kills, shots fired etc...
benedictus replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
I think thats big part of the game, you just dont know who to trust and who killed you. Could be someone from your group that went bandit on you. And the game already gives you a hint where the shot came from, if you listen carefully.. Lastly, why you want reduce pvp? I dont understand why people cry about bandits but its the first time I hear someone wants to reduce PVP in general. -
Obviously you would need a gun. You could also try chocking yourself with the battery or hang yourself from your t-shirt. But while running in woods and suddenly breaking your leg(s) laying there with pistol in your hand waiting for death just seems stupid.

benedictus replied to leefriendfield's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, its a survival game so only thing matters is surviving right? So like Marchhare said it all boils down on one stat and thats how long youve been alive. -
But how would you implement them into the game? Allthough they are very simple tasks, but making moonshine, growing pot, shrooms or any other intoxicant requires time to make. Finding them from the world, ok. Growing them somehow instantly, no.
-
Im sure they had these babies around It was a hit car in Europe and today its a hit car in Africa! Totally possible sight on Chenarus and definately a great car! :thumbsup:
-
Hard to tell, its the same time of the year in Chenarus all the time and it seems to be early fall, august maybe. So its too late to plant anything for this year anymore since the growing period is almost over.
-
If the boobies bounce realistic then yeah, I think they add realism. But growing weed, how do you wanna do it, press "f" to plant seed and after 10 seconds you get buds? Or you want to do the planting properly, dig the hole carry all the soil and manuever there etc. then grow it for 4-5 months (servers tend to reset faster) hoping that nobody steals them? No i think not, besides its more FUN and USEFUL when you do it non-virtually.
-
Could also have random nudie mags littered all over Chernarus+ as.. I unno... Collectibles? It'd be like a TCG with no game. Just collect till you've got em all to say you did! Or even better... a hidden safe with 10 locks, and 10 keys scattered across Chernarus+. Once collected (and the Safe has been found), the keys can open the safe to reveal........ SOMETHING OF WORTH! I unno... a Night Vision Scope for an M4 (for when night's darkness finally gets fixed), or a Thermal Scope for the Mosin (limiting the range of sight a bit because that's how Thermal works), or even a SWAT outfit that protects the wearer and makes all rounds do less damage to that person (until they're ruined of course)! SOMETHING! XD With the safe and keys spawning in new locations after the next server restart once the safe has been looted! Topic is about chess, not about totally random ideas.

Exactly. Adding animation to put a cig in your mouth wont affect your fps anyway, unless its going to have huge smoke cloud hovering over your head. Also, we are not talking about adding it in the next patch cause like you pointed out, game is pretty broken atm.
-
It would be great, and after you start smoking em youd get addicted to them and would require occational smoke now and then. If not your hands (aim) starts to shake. On the otherhand while sitting in the bush with your rifle you would be able to enjoy a nice cigarette or cigar even. Until then i have to stick with the real ones.

What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?
benedictus replied to RadikulRAM's topic in General Discussion
Everybody knows its around, but it doesnt really matter at this stage. -
What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?
benedictus replied to RadikulRAM's topic in General Discussion
Ive been reading the forums awhile and it seems that people dont realize what state the game is in atm. Usually there wouldnt be 2 million accounts when the game is still in alpha. Now that being said, I dont approve cheating anyway but at the moment I think it would be waste of resources. Its more important to work on the net code and game mechanics (you can exploit the mechanics in so many ways without 'hacking') and only when the game works should they start working on the anticheat mechanics.
