  1. izurvive.com, is one

    Searching others posts is most likely your best best, as information keeps changing.

    Wiki sites, experimental posts.

     

    Otherwise its pretty much 1 shot 1 kill in some cases and watch your back all times. High military zones are filled with all sorts of dangers.


  2. Really? you missed what they have demonstrated a fear of? Infected don't like deep water why? They don't walk off cliffs and they have a drive to eat why? Could it be that they have a desire to live or put another way fear death? In any case this discussion was about adding an attribute to their nature not rehashing what you perceive as the canon of their existence. It would be good for you to remember that the game is in ALPHA hence their natures are not  complete. 

    Actually how do we know this? Because if i am not mistaken movies are now starting to shift towards changes with zombies being under the water. Should we also say that infected would be exactly like humans with the drive to eat. How crazy are they? should they keep following you off a cliff, or follow you to the depths of the water. If they drowned they had no clue being so mind crazed as it is, the drive for food is so intoxicating they keep going.

     

    Fire should be the same, they have no reason to stop and turn around.

     

    If you remember, the walking dead still used imprints into the minds of the infected. They still went back to their last location of death, or where they knew best. It did not stop them from running through a saw blade wall, or trying to squish past a couple tightly together transport trailers.

     

    Did fire actually turn them away ever in a movie we knew of? infected or zombies? I have always known it to be the drive for food.

  3. Oh yes, this might very well be the way to go in the future once mechanics and features are further fleshed out to a point where it would not be necessary to update info on specific features regularly due to them changing over time for example.

    And another reason to explain what you need everyone to test out and report bugs on?

     

    Without full knowledge what you need done, we will never know. Playing a half made game at this point is not really that good for us. Some do it for the testing to keep moving forward while others just play the game like a finished game. Its perfectly ok to do both, but we still should all be notified of whats going on, and what you expect us to test this round of patches.

     

    See what we need to do??


  4. Anyone else kinda getting tired of seeing these leaked info / pics / video clips of new guns to come ? 

     

    I agree that EVENTUALLY it would be really nice to have many many firearms to choose from. Nothing wrong with verity . 

     

    That being said... For Now.. i think we have enough to get by. 

    What I would much rather start seeing is some actual work and releases of a larger variety of weapon choices .

     

    We have Hunting rifles.. cool 

    We have Assault rifles .. great

    We got pistols covered.. awesome . 

     

    Now lets start seeing some work go into 

    Archery , Recurves, compounds.. 

    Maybe a pistol crossbow ? 

    Tasers, stun guns, and tranq dart guns ! Yea I seen the pics.. lets get them into testing already... 

     

    Would really like to see some throwable spears, rocks, knives , all the can foods for that matter...

     

    More explosives sometime soon. IED types. 

     

    This is the type of things I want to see before we get anymore stupid firearms.. We dont need Rocket launchers right not , or LMGs . Save that crap for later.. 

     

     

    Same goes for vehicles. 

    I keep hearing people saying More types, 

    We got 4 solid placeholder vehicles already , we don't need anymore 

    Just get the motorcycle , and bike in and working as place holders for later additions, then get to work on boats and horses. 

     

    Helicopters , airplanes .. imo can wait until later on . After the map upgrades and performance enhancements are finished maybe

     

     

    Well. thats my little rant for the day , thanks for reading 

    Have you played arma 3 yet, Jon?

     

    It has many assets to the game. If i predict what is happening here is a complete package like arma 3. They need to build assets for the game plan.

    I wont pretend to know that's exactly the plan, as nobody has said anything yet. Road map was changed awhile back wasn't it?

     

    For now, i would be ok with some extra ammo to test these guns out, and the ability to find them. Being so rare is not worth it for alpha testing phases. If someone isn't able to log on loot one up, and test it out then why make it so rare?

     

    We do need to fully test products out with different types of problems, like painting, detecting parts, and the list goes on. Since it is alpha we should have no reason to be as restricted, as we are.

    I've always said that since the older patches. Prior to a new engine. We shouldn't be so restricted. Modding is going to happen regardless if they make it hardcore. Scripts will make the server exactly what it is. So making it so uber hardcore rare doesn't make sense at this point.

     

    If jon wants to go hunting, he shouldn't be restricted carrying a hunters backpack, Hunters rifle with scope, and a good amount of ammo. We all have been there searching houses for so long it does get repetitive now. The team can always make the official servers hardcore, all they want around beta.


  5. Like it or not, dark nights means people will put up gamma and brightness. With the nights so bright the devs effectively turned up everyone's gamma and brightness. Better the full moon and playable default brightness than pitch black nights and everyone a gamma bandit IMO.

    Yup always been an issue. Someone goes out and buys a super gamma monitor for gaming and they out perform everyone else.

    Not worth trying to worry about the base game for this. It would be best to allow moders to fix their own servers and try to enforce it. I doubt it will ever happen nobody will play fairly due to losing gear too quickly.

     

    Forget you even brought up the topic because they cant override the system. Monitors have too many adjustments now.

     

    Mines asus gaming monitor and i used to fix my gamma for AAPG. Sometimes it was dark where others could see me so i corrected that, so i could see them in the dark


  6. It is sometimes hard to be patient but great things are coming I am sure.

    There is still no other game that gives me that feeling of complete paranoia than DayZ does.

    Ill never be able to relive my days past, when the first time i logged into Everquest 1999, and in nek forest the evil sounds.

     

    but dayz does give the feeling of being watched. Which is a good thing.

  7. They did mention this, also it wouldn't be until the game was pretty close to beta/release.

     

    First things is first and i totally agree, get the stuff working the base engine. Then make the server files, mod tools.

    We all asked this too, after the first blog, video by the team. There is a video of Hicks letting everyone know out there.

     

    Until then either rent, or play on public hive servers. Also there is no reason why you cant run with friends on any of those 0/50 servers. So So many of them.

     

    your choice, private or public. Don't feel you need to go rent a server to farm or kick either, cause one of us will clearly hunt you down :) jking


  8. At this point i have been in about 15 gunfights, and i have won about 7 of them. Now i might not be the best shooter in the game, but i see myself as someone who can defend against threats. Now i have noticed in these 15 gunfights, it is VERY HARD to hit people, no matter what gun you have. unless both you and your target are stationary, gunfights are nearly impossible. I was even i a fight were the guy shooting at me ran out of ammo trying to hit me, and he and i both agreed that the close quarters combat in this game is ridiculous. I was wondering if you guys have any tips, or opinions on the matter.

    Desync is a horrible weapon. Someone usually wins being out of sync, and its usually not you.

     

    Throw a few Infected in the loop, and maybe some hardcore laggy buildings and volla you have yourself a warping good ole time.

     

    Its not your fault, it comes with practice but you cant practice against desync unless you try to aim 1/8th arm length ahead of them. When they are weaving just aim straight not to the left or right.

    You might be surprised you will win.


  9. Its a common issue with video. It is not optimized yet so we have no control on reloading that graphic right away.

     

    Try turning away, then back again and it should reload.

     

    You may also try some refreshing video options to clear that up.


  10. I agree with the mountains, i don't think putting in a wide open ocean is worth it. Since we cant build bases on a raft like we can in ark. I do like the idea of boats, and becoming a pirate :)

    Now we could put in zones, that once you go through it opens up the other section of a new map. Something that most of us know of from games like everquest, and other MMO's of that time, sandboxes is just another term for cut down versions.

     

    I also feel we need to have more dense woods. It seems rather spaced out to hide a small log cabin in the woods. Sure you would do clear cutting and make room however some of us would pick a nice squad region inside a dense wooded area.

     

    Right now its completely useless to have tents, barrels, and anything else in the game as it only encourages robbers (like myself) to go around stealing and KOS you to steal your gear. Now with server hoping it only makes that much easier.

     

    We need more anti hack tools also against ESP's so they don't follow you to your cabin, or wonder why your sitting in the woods so far from anyone.

     

    Adding more content to the game, only makes it long and longer to beta. Maybe in the future dayz devs expand on this, so we can load it in our inf, as active, and loading the PBO's information when you zone into that area.

     

    all i want from Dayz is a working game, so that we can build on it later. Until then release everything so we can start building on it. Ive tested enough things, i dont want to test anything again over and over. Get the engine working, the map working good and the items in the game. Let us start to debug the problems, then we can move on.

     

    Not sure what stages we are at internally. Since we have no real info where we are along the lines of the roadmap. I looked the other day and it almost looked like we where at q1 of 2015?

     

    am i wrong?


  11. I am noticing some great things from Dx12 now. Windows 10 is ok, i just use it because of dx12.

     

    Squad also was mentioned it is going Dx12 on your list. Ark already is Dx12 supported and it runs like a champ. So when dayz is tweaked dx12 should run nicely.

    10-20%? improvement or more for some people i would estimate.


  12. yes my res got screwed up after using the newui earlier , didnt notice it until i reviewed that days screenshots and videos 

    I had the same issue too, then i took the new ui off it ran better, and i had to adjust the screen all over again.

    I doubt its perfect the way i had it but its still close.


  13. OP- don't buy into the troll posts. 

     

    It's just two more guys who won't ever agree with the way you're playing. And that's fine... you can kill them in game and eat them too. 

     

    (please.)

    How is this trolling?

     

     

    Ethical Hunting <---- Title

    Content with the idea of one less murderer in my area to compete with.. And enough meets to last me a few days.

     

    Moral of the story, If he wasn't a pocher and killed more than he needed , He would have lived ..

     

    Everything in this makes no sense at all. You call it ethical, you say kill him first, then you clearly call him a murderer, then you call him a poacher then you say he would have lived after he was shot.

     

    The other responding remarks, got me laughing how many believe it was poaching, but cry when someone KOS your ass on these forums.

     

    I have seen it all :huh:

     

     

    Otherwise i liked the story Jonathan, and i do like to hunt in this game. So don't take it to heart.  :)
