It's obviously the brain scorcher... Go see the doctor in Yantar. TBH just about everywhere is either blanket choppy or local/time based choppy for me. The 'coast' is just as terrible as cherno or elektro.

Honestly, if I were to want to conserve things, I'd not be hiding them in a stand-out-like-tetanus-infected-thumb shed. I'd dig a hole and bury it. If it's shelter that you're after, the door would be as a barrier to the elements more than anything... i'd be treating it like a soft-top car and leave the bastard unlocked, and rely more on alarms than barricades. Also, it's laughable to bring up tetanus. Sure you may be at risk of cutting yourself on said 'rusty sheet metal', exposing yourself to a vector, but if you lack 'advanced/modern medicine' i think tetanus is going to be a day-to-day struggle, given the scope of the game. Discounting it on this basis is just ... stahp...

Id go with corrugated iron too, but then i'd just cut them into square pieces with a hacksaw, bundle for transport, and shingle the roof instead.

Difference between standalone and mod?

The mod actually works... -
PSA: Game development takes a while, but...
q.S Sachiel replied to Beizs's topic in General Discussion
Basically the most succinct way it could be said. +1 Could you please provide some objective criteria and tangible basis for outlining your viewpoint, so as to better develop the discussion? -
PSA: Game development takes a while, but...
q.S Sachiel replied to Beizs's topic in General Discussion
I keep trying to click the italics for a source to these facts, thinking they're hyperlinked... They are not. :( Sorry man, not trying to have a go, but i don't see how going stark raving mad for the game is any different than barking it down, putting positive expectations of development forwards as gospel as opposed to doomsaying. I'll let the final product and development cycle speak for its self. The devs will be judged on their product, not by the bandwagoners on either side of the path. -
PSA: Game development takes a while, but...
q.S Sachiel replied to Beizs's topic in General Discussion
On one hand I agree that whipping a horse to move has only limited effect, as does trying to make something or create something/faster when progress cannot possibly be done/quickened. On the other hand I believe that a certain lack of scrutiny must always exist in business ventures / products such as these. TBH i think it's a biased opinion he's giving, but hey it's a public forum. -
'zukes are excellent 4wd toys. They're like baby bears, pawing their way up them hills. Now those other cars, not aLada love for them in my heart.

OH GOOD SIR ARE YOU TROLLING? BECAUSE IF YOU ARE I TIP MY HAT! In case the irony was lost on any of you - this was one of the main arguments against any changes being made, as BI has already provided a swathe of (albeit empty) 1pp servers for all you teary eyed screaming masses who are calling about un-necessary change. Congratulations. You've wasted a portion everyone's seed money for this insignificant and essentially irrelevant non-issue.

I still love how Arma3 is functional and has less bells and whistles, while in DayZ people scream and complain about the most inane things (like the 3pp and the default 'eye zoom' - which by the way are in Arma3 and no one complains about this), and putting something in the centre of your screen is a task that requires a tertiary certificate (or a bloated and un-necessary crosshair). Sometimes i don't know what the hell these dev's are thinking.

TIL that DayZ runs much smoother on Windows 10.
q.S Sachiel replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Given the wording, the offer is available to eligible users for up to 1 year after the offer opens, and then it closes. Once accepting the offer, the product is yours to keep. -
because the items that you can store inside are specific and restrictive, and despite their generally consuming 1 space, they are (in reality) very small and should be able to be stored to a larger degree inside this holder item? They are rare, cumbersome (ie: no immediate access from inventory) and have a restricted set of items they will accept. What is the incentive of acquiring these containers? Protect the bullets you're about to expend, and need to open two inventory windows to access? *scough* Have you ever seen even a basic first aid kit? whistle compression bandage x2 bandaids x20,50,100 scissors, tweezers, razor/scalpel blade gloves antiseptic wipes bandage x2 medical tape this comes in a package slightly larger than a man's fist. and if you're suggesting that a 300rnd ammo case can only hold 4x20 rounds of SKS ammo based purly on the profile graphic of the container, well then i guess this is why America spends so much money on war: carting around boxes of ammunition barely able to sustain 2x magazines for a soldier.

batteries batteries. Where art thou batteries?
q.S Sachiel replied to 97ADU Doug's topic in General Discussion
basically this. Camp beaches. kill freshies. Free batteries. -
yeah that's what he's saying, that it used to have a 'phantom doppler' in your inventory, which could sustain damage and ruin the real one (in your hands).
-
All for it. 'Clatter clatter' and you know it, so does anyone within short earshot ;). But as to actually dropping it: always organise your inventory for accessability and for looting. When looting i'm always sure to have a few +4 +6 empty spaces in my inventory should i need it, where you can.

The new 3pp camera and FOV Slider
q.S Sachiel replied to Julianwop (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
mate don't even bother. This topic has been flogged harder and more often than an adolescent only just having made puberty. The thread will fill up with white fluid because people see the devs are doing something, and 1pp servers will remain dead. -
could have washed up there. I'd say it's more questionable why you're spawning in the middle of nowhere...

How would you feel if 1st person perspective was mandatory?
q.S Sachiel replied to FlimFlamm's topic in General Discussion
That's some fine statistical analysis done there! A+ Blinkered vision running simulator has a market yet! You also succeeded in twisting the survey question to meet your needs. Fine woork indeed. That's probably because the 300 odd people who vote are an inadequate sample size, and probably unrepresentative of the community as a whole.... But that's why single question surveys are usually relegated to ad-ware bait, or trash entertainment dressed up as an attempt at logic. Your post is well read, but i can't help but feel you're pissing in my pocket to tell met it's raining. Just to be clear, it seems that the '3pp guys' don't actually have any issue with the game currently with respect to camera angle... What i'm proposing is that 1pp players get up in their superior numbers and go play their damned game in the 1pp servers where there is no option to play otherwise See: now both needs/wants have been satisfied. Too bloody easy. Unless of course the total number of 1pp guys is vastly understated. Now that may mean a problem for the select but vocal few. May need to periodically scream and shout to get attention, and maybe throw in a poll or two to try drum up support. -
I wouldn't count on this being true 'offline' either, what with the frequent server checks to see what inventory you have... although i suppose you could just have it save to harddrive and then update to steam cloud later... but who does that now-days anyway, seeing as steam likes to be as active as possible at all times.

press V for flashknife! *SWISH* I think a shove would be useful and fun at least, would provide good jostling and friends and I wouldn't need to shoot around eachothers head / at eachothers feet for boredom reduction therapy.

You'll need to put forward a logical point that isn't based on opinion or self-contradictory in nature, first, otherwise it's really an effort in futility. I said i'd take the crimea, not go to stalingrad (not much fun in stalingrad, no). You're welcome. Also, at the risk of treading on narcissitic sensitivities, I'm not replying to you as much as trying to act as a balance to the hoard of unwashed masses with their gaping moaning mouths who are attempting to bring about a change in the game which I know and love. But it has been fun :) This is probably the last drop for the next few months on this topic (as i'm sure it will continue through the eons) unless I see something particularly tasty to reply to.

This bit right here tho, this is what i expected from you bae. You make playing devils advocate all worth it. Everything other than this last line is pretty hard to follow what with the confusing contradictions and sarcastic hypocrasy. (;
-
not sure if troll or bad passs at oracle of delphi, either way you said a whole lot of nothing. Sometimes lack of reply means more, but i think you missed the bus.
-
Why not just play your music through the sound device straight into broadcast? I believe death by crowbar was hinting at this... may need a particular sound card but I believe most motherboards now-days should be able to do this???

Thank you, when I annexe the Crimea I will be sure to share with you a piece of the pie. Many russians will be whipped, and there will be singing and dancing girls and everyone will have a really good time.
