Solders to shoot at ?? Active Mill base ?
Hetstaine replied to Taiphoz's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Rocket has already stated there will be no npcs /thread -
Really ? wow.

Dmr and m14 as they use the same mags so no double up on ammo. Hatchet for zeds and a mak or m1911, not really fussed on the handguns though, whatever i pick up.. Dmr is an easy choice, nvg use, nice smooth zoom, crossover ammo plus it is just damn sexy to look at :) AS 50 is just butt ugly imo plus i refuse to use it as it jsut does not suit my style.

Scriptees have gold yachts. Live the lifestyle or forever be a boring legit player.

My best friend is a hacker, what should I do?
Hetstaine replied to Jamie Jameson's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Question time. 1. So is true that the hacker lifestyle is filled with firmly breasted young woman, sports cars and ocean going yachts ? Enquiring minds need to know. 2. How long did you guys script for before this all became possible ? 3. Are you posting from your yacht ? 4. Will you seek revenge on your friend in standard ways..ie ..hitman, driveby or will you go to much broader lengths like crippling his families bank account, wiping their identities and forcing them to become unknown people in the world ? 5. Does your mum tuck you both into bed at night or do you have a script that rolls back the sheet, puffs the pillow and turns of the light ? 6. Is your yacht made of gold and do you use your scripting skills to keep it afloat ? -
Wow..Hackers ? fuck eh..

Standalone in graphical terms.
Hetstaine replied to flygamer1's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Re the mouse movement, someone posted a good thread on it a while back that summed it up very well, do some forum digging :) . Personally i have minimal issues with it but your mileage may vary depending on what you are used to i suppose, I find most other mainstream games are extremely easy point and shoot pieces of piss to kill. Under split second raise gun/scope/shoot/instakill sniper rifles that are just a fucking joke. The arma style seems to put everyone on more of a level playing field. -

Take on Helis has been out for a year now, is part of the arma series ,although it is its own standalone branch away, and he has the guys who made it working alongside of him. Bonus item is that is has an improved physics model. Using TOH as a base does not sound rushed to me and it makes absolutely no sense to start again with a scratch built engine. As Rocket has stated plenty of times , a lot of the things that do not work well in dayz because of the arma base are because they are only mucking around on the outskirts of the engine. With the standalone they will be delving right into the guts to make it suit. I would imagine they will make quite an impact as compared to what we have currently. Read the one line thread and the qa thread. I don't think he will be too fussed if warz beats him to punch on a release although it is always good to be first out the door i would not imagine it would be too worrying. Some from the one line thread.. 2. Q: What are some improvements we might see when DayZ is ported to RV4 (Arma3) engine? [blaf] A: DayZ will run on a branched Take On helicopters (RV3) engine. It is already being customized to DayZ specific needs. The main improvement is an engine tailored to DayZ's specific needs. An example being weapons being objects on a character and not stored simply as a string reference, this means the object can have durability, enhancements, etc... DayZ is branching from ArmA2, the method we are using for recording things such as weapons means we can be much bolder 66: Q: Are you going to work on optimization of the game engine to increase FPS? It seems that now you can only play comfortably in DayZ if you have the newest top hardware. A: Very significant optimization is being done, much of it already in progress. Q: Can we expect improved performance for the standalone-game or should people with weaker computers who can barely play the mod start spending money on their pcs? A: performance will be much better. Q: How much freedom will you be given with the standalone release? (eg. Game mechanics, UI) A: Absolute. Expect complete change. Change is good! Q: This may sound a tad rude, but many people agree: ARMA II was poorly optimized which causes many of us to get poor FPS. Has this been addressed in the new engine for the standalone? A: I wouldn't agree ArmA2 is poorly optimized. But yes, it is not optimized for the purposes of something like DayZ, and that is easy enough to address as a standalone. -
Not a care-bear thread, but asking for a solution
Hetstaine replied to Jurkey's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
They too are being posted everday :) It's a constantly changing class and the teacher keeps moving the goalposts..although sticking to the original basic theme. I don't know if you could wrap it all up in one tidy essay quite yet..but old mate about40sheep above does it for at least 50% of the playing population :) 'i wanted to play this game of survival how i thought it was to be played and try to interact nicely with other players. I was shot therefore i know will kos.' I think this is why so many people have struggled with the concept and turned it into a kos game. It is far easier to kos than it is to not. i did write a big roundup as i see it but cloudflare ate it so i will stick with the part option that is repeated on here every day for many months now... 'I was shot therefore i know will kos.' -
Logged into the forum, instadied and kicked. didn't even hear the shot. Respawned at google. Running from North of Redditt now. Fuk me. Haven't even got a coke.

When and where from did you heard about DayZ and what forced you to buy it?
Hetstaine replied to borntobewild's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Raed about it on another forum and downloaded it that night. Back when the mak was still a spawn weapon,bandits were fairly rare and scriptees had not popped in to ruin the fun. Convinced my mate and partner to get their own copy by the next weekend. -

Tried Cheneraus today after months
Hetstaine replied to dakilla187's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You sir can linger for i too am a man of the foresty wilderness although last night was spent along the coast which was rare for us.. Cherno ..last night. One guy pops up in airport tower as i am heading in the back fence, partner drills him , he dies I swap out ak for hatchet and creep in. Partner is providing cover behind me in forest. Hack one bandit dude waiting on the stairway who panicks and misses when i run in. Go upstairs and collect an m16 and stanags. Bandage a new spawn guy outside the hangars who is taking fire from near the tents. He then runs out into the open like a mental head and dies. Partner takes out the shooter. A guy pops in front of me with m14 drawn near the burnt out hummers, i panick and spray a burst with my m16 , the guy tells me over direct ' look out idiot, i am in hero clothes!! ' I say 'sorry man i was a bit jumpy' and he heads off to the tents. Partner and i head to Cherno to get blood, end up engaged in a shootout with a choppa whilst i am showing her the highest building in Cherno and the layout of the city. Choppa withdraws after taking hits and calls out ' were gonna get you dirty snipers! ' . Partner falls of building in the excitement of it all and reruns up from Kamenka. Meets a suicider on the bridge and they do an in sync swan dive. She only breaks her legs and has to repeatedly crawl up and launch of the bridge until she finally starts bleeding. She meets another chap running from Komarovo and they hook up for a bit, she has to hatchet some guy who is poping a mak at them outside of Cherno apartments ,who she kills , and then we hook up and log for the night. Saw a quantity of zero alt f4. Met three non kos , one suicider. Capped three bandits , one survivor and narrowly missed killing a hero. Can't complain about that action. -
