    Steak's new record..

    Steak has a hatchet, and he knows how to use it, i have seen skulls split over ' ...who is driving ? '
  2. I imagine everyone would have to be hoping on some zed ramping up in the standalone so we can get that original feel back, but there will always be that kos player type that just does not give a rats about interacting except via bullets regardless of how the game changes. Revenge is a dish best served with a side order of winchester. I do get what you are saying, the early dayz of the mod were a far different feel from what it evolved into, but i still manage to find randoms to interact with even on Pub servers. I did an exchange of nvg's and an akm for some cokes the other night with a guy outside of Cherno industrial , i dropped the items then wandered back about 20 metres keeping him dmr'd whilst we chatted, paranoia , which has always been part of the mod. We headed off without a shot being fired , me drinking coke in the dark , him enjoying his new found vision. He was the only guy i saw in a 25 pop server...playing Louis Armstrongs 'What a wonderful world' over side which was quite fitting. I have read so many posts where people say 'its what would happen in a zed apoc, everyone would be running around knocking everyone off ' ..right. I think most of the kos types would be in hiding or grouped up, but in a game where a click of a mouse means a bigger backpack or an achievment of sorts (score) then rl is out the window.

    Steak's new record..

    Anywhere that would accept us, i even took the time to braid flowers in my locks.
  4. I think too many games are becoming too accessible. I’m not a fan of accessibility anymore.- Dean Hall. Dude..i fucking love you. As far as zombie games go this is the first i have played with zeds in it as i have zero interest in zombie type games. The second part of your quote is why i play :) The last part of your quote though, my experience so far has not been anywhere near 99% kos, if it was i more than likely would have stopped playing months ago. I think a lot of people are missing out on the in game interaction that can be had by playing simple kos, and i would wager they are most of the ones that have already left for other games or moved other people on because of their game play. Each to their own though. Nice interview Pat and thanks for posting..you should really smile though ;) You ever get interested to dive in , give me a yell and i will give you a tour of Chernarus :thumbsup:

    Favorite Dayz vehicle?

    Front wheel wheelies down a hill at 50 plus, whats not to like.
  10. Day 44 with my Hero on a public fucking server :ph34r: (Glovine) Gave away my NVG's and AKM to some random last night because he was playing 'what a wonderful world ' over global, funnily enough it suited dayz perfectly. Fragnito i think was the man. I was getting 12-14 odd hours a week with him but Namalsk priv hire has slowed him down.

    New idea : Tree House

    *test post..forum being extremely shit*

    New idea : Tree House

    Tree house is a good idea , like i said in my tree house post, i would much rather up than underground. Plus trip wires ;) My original post ... <p> Reading some threads here, base building etc and i have always thought..fuck that, i would want a tree house. Up off the ground , pull up the wooden/rope ladder and you are fairly safe. Simple to naturally camoflauge. As kids we always had a treehouse and they rock, homebuilt and easy as with minimum tools and equipment needed. Then i thought, fire. They would kill me with fire and eat the freshly heated franks and beans. Fuckers. So the old tin can trip wire trick. Never sleep fitfully with one eye open again. If you are seen whilst out digging for edible forest bugs (yum) and have to make a mad dash back to the tree pad of frivolity then once you are up and in,you will know if they have followed by the jingle jangle of the wire being tripped. Of course animals will be able to trip it so there will be plenty of false warnings, big winds will also affect it. But at least now we will have a use for all of those empty cans, all that is required is wire ,which is all over the place. Even the ability to strip down a farm fence will produce more than enough. You could set several jingle jingle alarms so you could even pinpoint a general n/e/s/w direction. Please see extremely awesome paint pic i wasted 2 minutes of my life on, it only shows one wire but you get the drift. BALOTA BUDDIES

    People overreacting about Namalsk?

    Weird, i have been sick three times on this map in under 20 hours of play time. Chernarus once since June. Twice i have been down that ladder to the underground, both times i have been nailed before i got of the bottom rung..i would like to have a look around down there and see what all the fuss is about :)

    Death Of DayZ

    Well the new update looks to be the start of the demise of dayz Or not. no score system most players check there bandit and murder kills The no score system is something that has been on the cards to be removed for months, it was not like..wooooah, didn't see that coming. so many games have been successful because of score systems but no more see above..and really ? Is score the only purpose ? Guess i better throw the whole immersion aspect of my gaming out the window. Having a purpose in the game as in life is essential to long term playability Make the purpose, create it yourself. Hint: basic purpose = life. Hint 2 : Creativity. just running in circles will get boring fast Seems it works for the CoD franchise extremely well. For over a decade. setting up camps and organizing items can be rewarding with no way to replicate items I am fairly certain duping is gone, not 100 % sure but i have not seen any since 1.7.3. Set up a camp..find out (careful of the thieves though ;) ) no one will use tents as goods get stolen all the time I find tents all the time. I steal items. I find more tents with more items, who are these no ones placing all of these gawdang tents ? shooting zombies is already boring and is just a distraction in the game Standalone will hopefully adress the obvious Zed easiness, that being said i got Mike Tyson'd at 6 blood last night with an infection and had my face eaten off, it is rare but it still happens. a game without anything to do wont last long finding tents looting them is part of the fun Nothing to do ? Now what game are you playing..cause it isn't the one i am playing. See above on the tents. TOOOOO much time has been spent on taking things out that work Alpha, yes i know..but Alpha. Fix/Break/Change/Test/Break/Test/Change/Break/Test/Fix/Break etc So only things that are working have been taken out ? No bugs fixed, no updates that have improved the game along the way ? Just taking out good stuff ? Got ya. TOOOO little time if fixing hackers most now are 12 year old kids paying for hacking services Do you even read what has been said about hacking in this game engine and is available for you too read on every site that has ever said anything about dayz ? Not people with skill showing what the game could be What ? You have not seen anything , not a glimpse..just a wee crack of light..a smidgen ? Nada ? Zip ? I am nearly convinced now that we are playing two different games. Rant over Roger that I hope that they dont write out all the things that have made this a great game in the stand alone version but after seeing some of the updates I seriously doubt it I don't know if Standalone will reach your high expectations, but why not give it a crack eh. Welcome to the interwebZ, to get a sensible reply one must first make a sensible post, critical or otherwise... and never devalue pen and paper, that just makes you look silly. The computer age has been here for as long time, you do realise this ? Problem now is every person and their dog is on it, even me, and most of the time it reminds me of the writing on toilet walls at school, but i hold out in hope. Oh and heres a quick tip to help you in furthering your new age computerness, especially regarding topics and conversations... paragraphs. You have a wonderful tool at your fingertips for voicing your opinions, why not use it correctly and not come across like a newb. I think you may like this part the least though... pen and paper will be here for ever.. painful huh :) Enjoy.
  17. Alakit Survivor, i got a bead on him with the m16 , he has a g17 and an enfield slung. I should have shot him when he did not know i was there, while i was watching him loot. He spots me and the friendly cry goes out from him friendly! friendly! friendly! sounds like he is still waiting for his balls to drop. I keep him in scope until he gets closer, pop him pop him pop him says my head, i leave him. We have a quick chat, i tell him i am headed to Old Hospital, i'm not, as i need blood and then i crouch off behind a small area with one way in and one way out next to a wall. I jump into my options to reset my graphics as they were still a bit bright from last night..a black object plops near me..was that a ?? BOOM! Fucker. Respawn, Lubjansk look at that..not more than a five minute run away, first deerstand i find an m1014 with 8 slugs. Keep heading south east towards Alakit through the forest when i see movement, guy running flat stick, i duck behind a tree, observe. Well what do we have here..guy with a czech pack, m16 slung and a G17, heading towards Lubjansk. It has to be Fucker, I let him run past then follow. He crouches when in sight of the road then stops. I crouch up to a tree about 5 metres away, he starts to move slowly again, over direct i say 'Hey..Fucker..nice m16..' then put a shot into his legs. He falls saying friendly! friendly! friendly! ..same balltight voice. I don't say anything , waiting for him to bandage, blood spewing out. He goes straight into the bandage position and i sidle out from behind my tree, shottie up... ' I like your backpack' will be the last thing he hears as i pump 7 more slugs into him. Why would i shoot him 8 times ? because that was all the ammo i had.

    Sticky notes, infected animals and more!

    There have been a heap of different trading posts set up since virtually the beginning of the mod, currency is what you have to trade. Its the apocalypse and i hope we never see a bank or money again :) Trading is where it is at.

    I only shot him 8 times

    Ah yes..that. I tend to agree with the chap :)

    Lol all :D and cheers. 1000 slugs would have meant a lot of reloading..

    Do you disable the Music in Dayz?

    As i am running into a town the Terminator theme plays in my head so i have no need for in game. In Namalsk it is the Rocky theme.
