    Server specific characters?

    It was literally the first sentence of the first post I made in this topic. Don't they teach comprehensive reading in the Phantom Zone? Still, you care. I know you do. I can sense it.

    Server specific characters?

    Read a little more attentively. I said I want a server when the game is in a more advanced stage and the core elements of the game are working properly. By which I mean a challenging survival aspect, working persistence, and maybe basic base-building. To me, PvE includes PvP, since the players are part of the environment. And if you must know, the idea was to invite people from these boards as well. But not you.

    Server specific characters?

    Again, server hopping is only a small part of the reason I want to run a private server. My main concern is weeding out the crap players from the good ones. As funny as they may be, I'm not interested in massive silly dance parties, or CoD-style team deathmatches at the airfield, or a legion of squeakers killing everyone on sight.

    Multiple Suggestions

    Reminds me of a bit from early Jackass. "Are these different bottle rockets?" "No, just more of them."
  6. It's a known issue with an easy fix: If you find your character reset when joining a server, don't move, just log off immediatly. 9 out of 10 the next server will be fine.

    Melee attack button

    I wouldn't dismiss lighter arms. That's still a fairly heavy piece of metal, and especially a heavy handgun like the Magnum could deliver quite a blow.
  8. Well at least you were sarcastic!
  9. Make your own luck then.
  10. There is literally no argument you can use to justify a global side chat without shitting all over the crux of the game, which is a realistic survival horror MMO. IF it is ever allowed, it should be an option only on privately owned servers, not public ones.

    a more nicer criticism

    In the six months I've been playing DayZ, I've been to the Balota camp maybe three times before it was removed. I would never have noticed it was gone if it wasn't for the 50,000 crybabies lamenting on the forums. :P

    I survive. That's all there is to it.

    Mosin Ammo

    The rows of houses in larger towns are a godsend for the Mosin enthusiast. The houses themselves have the ammo, and the sheds out back have the scopes and compensators. And I am getting lucky finding 5-round clips in piano houses. And after randomly stumbling into the log tavern at Dobroe on my way to Novo, I found a Mosin plus LRS plus compensator in one of the rooms upstairs, and green spraypaint to boot! I was so stoked I assembled and took it, even though I already have a kitted out Mosin. I'll give it to the next friendly person I meet, sans ammunition of course.

    What am I not getting about warmth?

    Are you building the fire indoors or outdoors? I've been seeing lots of people talking about indoor fires not working properly.
  15. Just tried this at Veresnik base. The zombie just stood outside the windows growling at me. Then I went to the front door, and it followed me, standing on the other side like some asshole. I even managed to kill it by hitting it with a fire axe through the closed door.

    Server specific characters?

    Honestly, it's not even about clans. I'm interested in creating a version of Chernarus that feels like a living, developing world, rather than just a sandbox with no continuity for people to randomly jump in and out of.

    Server specific characters?

    I'm thinking about renting a private shard once the game is a bit further into development, with the idea of turning my server in a persistent world with a limited number of people having access. Not to impose silly rules like 'No KOS outside Cherno' or 'No PvP in Novo', but to create a world with some continuity. I'd love to see people banding together into groups, which then interact with each other to form alliances or rivalries, as well as have a few loners wandering around, and maybe some psychopaths as well. Basically I am hoping to turn this into Walking Dead Goes To Chernarus.

    Those Dumb Zombies !

    If you're having trouble outrunning zombies, look for low fences to jump over. Zombies don't jump so they have to run around, which means you can put some distance between yourself and the zombie. When running from multiple zombies, I'd advise running out of town into the woods and taking them out one at a time (assuming you have a decent weapon).

    Mosin & Heli Crash Sites

    I'm finding more Mosins than ever before in police stations. The last three stations I checked all had a Mosin. Compensators spawn all over the small garages, I've found three in my last trip to Svetlo. Haven't found an LRS yet, but have found a bunch of PU scopes in restaurants/piano houses.
  20. I just do like the French do if people don't understand me. Repeat myself, but more loudly and slowly.

    Melee attack button

    As long as it isn't a quick insta-kill with 100% success rate I don't see why it couldn't be added. If you're good enough that you can sneak up an a guy without him noticing you deserve a free shot, but it'd need good hit detection on the body. You could slash him in the neck or stab him in the head and kill him instantly, or you could botch up and only do superficial damage, giving him time to counter.
  22. So far the best arguments for the side chat seem to be 'it makes the game easier' and 'the mod had it too'. Well, this isn't the mod. If you want to play a game like the mod, go play the mod. The Standalone is supposed to be as realistic as possible. You wanna communicate? Find the necessary items. And if you really want to be able to chat with everyone, get on Teamspeak, but don't force a side chat that this game REALLY does not need on everyone because you want a simpler experience.
