SkrooLoose (DayZ)

Well, I know when I have gas, I keep the windows up and it definitely stays in. The wife doesn't like it, and that makes me giggle.

Go to the south airfield.

I do agree about the "well where is the power coming from" concept, but, and I should have explained this before, adding lighting at night actually makes it harder for the players. Right now, in the dark, it's too easy to skirt around the zeds. Adding lights means the zeds and other players can see you. So maybe not so much the street-lights-on idea, but something to add a bit of lighting. I like the candles in the windows idea. And what about, considering how there's so many trash piles, having some of them on fire? Or the wrecked cars. Or maybe some of the piles of bodies on fire?

Do you mean, the sniper as a person or the sniper rifle, would be useless? On a side note, I seen that other video where the guy modded DayZ so as the street lights around town are on at night. Is that something you could do or would even be interested in doing? Also, sent a pm. I'd really like to try out your server. *edit Here's the lighting vid for those who haven't seen it.

Just did a manual ip search and nothing shows up.

In your previous post, all you stated was that you didn't like his loot changes at all, yet you didn't bother to elaborate as to why.

Hypocrite how? Running the map and hitting the same location at different intervals is completely different than camping a specific location and constantly emptying it's loot over and over for the sole purpose of making it regenerate specific loot which you're looking for.

Why can't anyone see past the stand alone? Meaning if people aren't happy with it (stand alone & 2.5), what's stopping them from making a DayZ mod for ArmA 3?

For the people unhappy about sniper rifles being removed, go grab the shooting range mod for A2 and spend 10 minutes with the Lee En. Set up a moving soldier at random distances. You'll find out just how easy the Lee is to use. For what DayZ is "suppose" to be about, why does one need a sniper rifle? You can't sit back 5,6,700 meters and pick off zeds because you're too far away for them to spawn. And why would you need to be able to engage other players at that distance? At those distances they're not a threat, unless they're sniping themselves. Some will say sniper rifles are needed to provide cover for their squad mates. Why? You can still cover them with binoculars and alert them of any possible threats via voip. Removing the sniper rifles won't break DayZ one bit. It'll merely change the play style for some. Not to mention the adrenalin rush when engaging others at a closer distance. You don't get that when you're camped out on some hill, 1000 meters from the edge of town. Or How about if sniper rifles are needed, why not have it so that if a player has taken up sitting idle in a spot for a set amount of time, with a certain weapon, then zeds will spawn within a set radius of him. That way he can still camp, but once he fires off that first shot then he's got to make a run for it because of the zombies.

I don't carry a second longarm; I don't need it. But... what I do like to do is put my gun in my backpack so I can use my hatchet on the zeds. It's quick, quiet, saves on ammo, and most importantly, it's fun (imo). And I'd be willing to bet that I'm not alone. So, what about instead of making the pack no longer able to stow a gun, making it so your entire inventory can no longer house more than one gun (not including a handgun, naturally). That sounds pretty narrow minded. So you're saying that if DayZ never had either to start with, you would have never bothered playing?

Having to hop from server to server because you're too scared to gear up when others are on? Then, after having your gear "handed" to you (you didn't earn it), you'll jump on a high pop server just for pvp? Maybe you haven't come across them yet, but there's other really popular games out there which fit your play style. Search for the Call of Duty series. You don't have to do any work in those games. Hope this helps.

Still, neither G.I.BROZ or LAX shows up in commander. And you didn't post the ip to manually connect to your Chern server.

What does DayZ have to do with you losing your ArmA 2 cd keys? You either bought shady keys or you just tried to install one of those free hacks (which really steals your key), and you blame the mod? And then, like a little child, you throw in a mention of "the other game" as if the community will rush right in to stop you and beg you not to leave. No sympathy here, brother.

You actually made it to the loading screen? It's just sitting idle; stuck at "Waiting for Hose".

Yep, 3:40 est and the server is down. Someone must have spilled cocoa in their keyboard.

"Please get your wiener out of that sheep." I regretted saying that. I should have never said "please". He didn't deserve being polite too.

He could have been using a zombie skin. Different skins are legit as long as the server allows it.

Must be. I was just now trying to get in but can't because of the server version. And now commander is showing it as down.

Searching G.I.BROZ in DayZ Commander = no results.

Desync server is calling for 96754 minimum patch, but commander only installs 751. When looking to manually download and install 754 from arma 2 site, there is no beta patch for it, again, there's only 751. If the next highest patch is installed (895/96), connection to the server is never made. It just sits idle at "Wait for Host" screen.

A brain explosion would explain it, because the point of the vid went in one of your ears and right out the other. :)

I'm not in to thrusting in other dudes. Sorry about that.

Hey IcyZ, what server was that on? I ask because I seen the exact same thing in the exact same location. I was only playing Utes on one server and there was a group there every time I logged on (multiple times over a couple of days) and once someone spawned right in the middle of the group and ran off. I didn't have any (obvious) problems with hackers while playing.

Having a bit of fun hunting on Utes. How long are you guys going to keep it on for?
