Based on what little we know of zombies, does it make sense for them to react to or be interrupted by a flashbang? Not trying to be a smartass, I'm just curious and trying to think it out logically. Bug, incomplete, or working as intended? I'm wondering the exact same thing about suppressors. Currently, they seem to be aggroing to my VSS just fine. In fact, zombies saved a guy's life last night. We were fired upon and I had him dead to rights and every time I lined up the shot, I got the shit beaten out of the back of my head. They are also still aggroing to a UMP-45 with a pistol suppressor. I had always assumed it was a bug, but someone pointed out to me that they may always hear suppressed weapon fire. It is, after all, not silent.

I just want to say: your efforts here have not gone unnoticed. Your contributions with these maps has made our time spent infinitely more valuable to the testing process and I just want you to know that your work is appreciated. ;) Thank you! :thumbsup: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans:

Yes indeed sir. Biohaze and I have spent hundreds of hours on them.

There are a few on Stable. I stress, a few. We basically have 10 or less servers to play on and none of them ever get over 20 players. I suppose if I expanded search parameters to include regions other than the US, I'd likely find more but I don't want to encourage any more latency than what is already inherent in the game. Just fyi. The player base is currently smaller than it has ever been. 1pp players were already a minority. Zombies are not a presence in 0.58 and that drove away quite a few players as well. Currently, I'd be surprised if there were enough 1pp players to fill two servers at any given time.

I get that your point was more about 1pp vs 3pp and various unbalancing or immersion breaking factors. I didn't mean to derail, it's just that I've been curious about this whole subject of 3rd party VOIP for some time. Biohaze pointed out one really important thing though to me in conversation that sort of renders the whole thing moot. What would prevent someone from just using Skype on their phone or a tablet? Nothing. There is literally no possible way to control it.

Is that a legal thing to do? This was the only reasonable conclusion I came to awhile back, but abandoned it as I figured that, even if it was somehow legal for one program to purposefully suppress another when both are non-malicious, it might piss off the companies that run the 3rd party voip services.

If you had actually read my post, you'd see that I'm not calling anyone dumb. I'm saying that it's stupid that this DESIGN problem has never been addressed. Us arguing with one another accomplishes absolutely nothing.

It bothers me that the devs haven't just taken a hard stance on this and taken actions towards their goal. On one hand they say that 3pp will never be removed, but on the other hand they regularly say things like, "[we've] considered making all official servers 1pp" or "the best way to play DayZ is 1pp". It's dumb that we have to have this argument weekly. I could almost literally copy+paste the argument from last time or the time before that or the time before that. It's dumb that they never fixed this problem when it cropped up in Arma. Google it. Threads go back years and years with people complaining about it in Arma as well. It's dumb that they released DayZ with 3pp at all, based on the previous issues encountered with it, especially when one factors in permadeath. It's dumb that they haven't just lowered the camera and pulled it in tighter to the back of the player model. 99% of the competitive issues with it would go away for, being generous here, a day's worth of work.

Yes, this. Typing friendly in chat can easily be translated into "shoot me now before I shoot you".

The time and date can be set to any time or date in the mission settings. In experimental, for example, we are currently in autumn but we've been in summer before too. The devs set this for every update.

@S3V3N - Which small towns did you see zombies in?

I could see something like this becoming a thing. Obviously, one would have to invent a theme park. And also explain why there are guns and ammo everywhere. Still, as an element of a larger map, it could definitely work.

Actually, you haven't touched on anything really. Other than your opinion that has little, if anything, to do with the topic at hand. I will ask you this one last time to please stay on topic. If you have something to add about what you'd like to see in DayZ within the context of new map ideas, then please share. Otherwise, please move along. The button for reporting nonsense is really easy to find.

Yay. This thread........again......this week......*grabs popcorn and lawn chair*

To which truth are you referring? Whether or not you or I like something has no bearing on objective truth. For the record, I wasn't trying to start any argument. Just trying (again) to keep the thread on track.

Dunno. Ask Hicks. Last I heard they were still rewriting actions and such. I won't pretend to know what half the shit they tell us means.

Post it on the bugtracker. https://feedback.dayz.com/my_view_page.php There will be a category for players stuck when filing the bug. Not sure what the response time is like for that though.

This has been an ongoing thing between Biohaze and I for awhile. If we are playing together and we split up at all, I get fired upon. He gets hugs, food, and invited to a post-apocalyptic emotional support group.

Did anyone else have a whole body cringe when the model impales itself with a pitchfork?

I would just like to throw this out there: we need a SPAS-12. One reason really. Jurassic Park. That is all.

Like I said: you meet people and they want to give you stuff, holding hands and skipping merrily away through the meadows. I meet escaped convicts and sociopaths.

Did you have anything to actually contribute to this thread or are you just here to incite an argument?

Experimental prep 30 minutes ago. EDIT: Ninja'ed.
