Better yet, triggerable with thrown objects. And why is everyone complaining about bear traps? They're like zombies that don't move. You see them, you avoid them, you don't stomp all over them. The same exact rules for zombies apply for bear traps, cept that bear traps won't try to devour your flesh. When you get chased by zeds and realize 90% of buildings have them in front of the door, you will realise why we dislike this idea. that's what I worry about. I guess we'll see how it works out... http://qkme.me/3pvx7d

Do you also consider offline maps an exploit? Loot chance tables? Chance and conditions for getting an infection? There is nothing wrong with wanting to understand the mechanics of the game you're playing. It's what makes people good at them. It sounds like you want to handicap yourself to preserve some sense of mystery of something. Anyway' date=' someone who knows more about scripting than me should pop open the .pbos and answer this for us. [/quote'] I wouldn't call offline maps an "exploit", but IMO it is a form of "cheating". that being said, I use an offline map, but I don't lie to myself about what I'm doing clearing out all the items, dumping them on the ground outside, and waiting for them to respawn just seems like a little much. do whatever you want, but that's just how I feel about it

you're not gonna be happy with that video card the best thing is to build your own from scratch. it's not that hard. the next best thing would to buy a cheap (but decent) computer with no video card, and then put a decent video card in it. but you have to make sure the PSU (power source) can handle it

how so?

I imagine you wouldn't be able to switch it off IRL. by "off" I mean use it as a 'normal' scope

that's actually kind of cool and I imagine the intended use. I wouldn't mind either if people actually used it to fortify a building while they're in it. but in that case they should remove it when they leave. in fact they should have to remove to get back out, since it would be blocking them in. but we all know that's not what's going on...

Sounds like paranoia... Thanks for the decent answers =) paranoia? I stand by what I said. it is an exploit' date=' just like server hopping [/quote'] it is an exploit if you literately go somewhere and do these constantly and never explore the rest of the map however if the loot didn't respawn in such a way then it would be such a pain to try and get ammo for guns or food or water + there is always the chance while you're waiting for the loot to respawn a player shoots you in the back I agree, and I understand why the loot respawns

try stepping over barbed wire IRL and see wut happens actually it's pretty easy. especially if it were in a coil like in the game. you just (carefully) walk between the coils. sure if it's on top of a fence it provides a bigger challenge. but a coil of barbed wire on the ground, not so much

Sounds like paranoia... Thanks for the decent answers =) paranoia? I stand by what I said. it is an exploit, just like server hopping

What. I don't even... well obviously this is not the way you're 'supposed' to play the game. it's an exploit

sounds like you wanna cheat...

well lets face it, the compass is way more useful, so it's harder to find. and the GPS is even more useful, so it's even rarer it's seems many people on this forum like to appeal to some "IRL" argument in an attempt to make the game easier

has anyone else noticed this. if you're playing around 7-8pm (in game time) it might get very dark all of a sudden if you look a certain direction. then it gets 'stuck' at that level of darkness. but if you disconnect and reconnect to the same server, it will get bright again, and repeat the same cycle.

our situation is never explained, so you can't assume we had the time or means for preparation. you spawn on the shore, so maybe you were in a boat that sank and had to swim to shore. like I said in another thread, I get the feeling Rocket would like us to spawn with absolutely nothing

the Six Updater just got me this new beta patch for Arma 2 ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_94103.log hopefully the new Day Z patch will be soon

uh, I'm pretty sure they can. but I think most people are complaining because their leg got broken for other quirky reasons (crawling through a doorway, crawling around corners, etc.)

exactly. I don't know what the context of this rant is, but it all comes down to how you deliver your complaints. first of all don't call people names, or make fun of the mentally handicapped ;) and don't phrase your criticism like "why is this like this, it's so fucking stupid". there should be no "why" questions. just state your issue, and maybe offer some possible solutions

but the trash loot is in there with the zeds :cry:

I've been playing for a little over a week. I've seen other players with vehicles, I found a bike stuck in the water, but I've never found a vehicle of my own. is there some place they're usually at or around? what should I be looking for?
