The Murder by Numbers thread indicated a noticable increase in murders and bandits, after the skin was removed, so it might have worked as a deterence after all.

Making a mod isn't the same as changing the engine. It was never much of a priority in ArmA2, but ArmA3 animations seem to be alot smooter and mobile transistions doesn't seem impossible.

The bad CD key happened to me yesterday too. Might just be a problem with server lag, making the server think your CD key is connected twice to the server. Dunno for sure though. "Malicious Comments" means that a server admin have actually banned you. You can dispute the ban, either by contacting the server admin or start a thread in the ban appeals forum.

THE Night is TOO DAMN DARK Thread. Others will be deleted etc.
dallas replied to Slamz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Since zombies are attracted to flares like bandits are, you should never throw the flares at your feet or the exact direction you intent to walk. You throw a couple far away from your position, to draw zombies away and to light up the general area and then sneak around in the dark shadows. Oh yea and guess how NVGs, which are designed to enhance starlight 30-50.000 times, react to a bright road flare. -
Unlike now where bandits realistically can shoot and miss me and when I return fire, they click their heels and disconnect to Kansas. Atleast before, players who earned a reputation as murderers, could not just swap servers/alternate realities and shed their bandit reputation.

Please none of those L4D types.

I believe he wants to add features to support players' humanity choices/play style, no to punnish or reward them. Whateverthehellthatmeans :D

There's a difference between your regular inventory and your backpack inventory. You can't use magazines in your backpack. You have to open the pack and move them to your regular inventory.

Server difficulty setting: cod mode.

Hope whoever actually saw him do it, wasn't too lazy to grab some screenshots before you decided to warn him and he deleted the evidence. :D If you're going to accuse anyone of cheating make sure you post actual proof and enough info to actually get the cheaters and hackers perma-banned from the main server. Please!

Here's how ballistics work, in ArmA too. -

Can someone translate this post for me? Is it amusingly ironic or fullblown retarded? -
Ear and eye symbol on the right side of the screen is your friend. (Ear - means you're making a little noise. ((Ear - means you're walking around wearing tapdancing shoes. (((Ear - means you're firing a loud shotgun in a library. Toggle walking, toggle crouching to be less visible/audible to zombies. Don't fire your weapon in crowded areas, when hunted by few zombies, don't sprint towards other zombies. If a zombie detects you in a crowded area, either enter a building and prepare for a grand shootout or try to draw the zombies away from the town center, before you shoot them. When you've gotten them safely out in a field, turn around, run backwards and when they stop to attack you, take another step back and shoot.

dallas replied to Slamz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Problem isn't the pitch black night, problem is some people bypass it maxing gamma and that ingame time isn't syncronized and that some servers dont perform scheduled reboots to sync nightfall. Which means anyone playing the way the night is intended is at a severe disadvantage. -
Aww milk out nose hurts.

If you love it, it'll be worth the 30 bucks. If you don't, it wont. Anyways it's bulky, buggy, frustrating and an allround terrible experience. You wont regret it.

We really need a sideways firing mode for the glock.

How come people who are quick to characterize an entire nation's population in one generalizing way are so conserned about the strickest dictionary definition of racism. If you're willing to make a generalized statement about 143 million people, why do you care if you're accused of racism, bigotry or xenophobia? -
AKM because of 7.62mm, but would chose a 5.56mm in an AR package.

Play with a TS crew, but I like answering noob questions in side.

If the point of the mod is to survive, rewards for surviving would make sense. Possibly experience points every 7th day surviving. +5% stamina. +10% stamina. +15% stamina. +5% reduction to thirst. +10% reduction to thirst. +15% reduction to thirst. +5% reduction to hunger. +10% reduction to hunger. +15% reduction to hunger. +5% to blood. +10% to blood. +15% to blood. Reward bonuses are all pretty minor, thus not too imbalanced. It would take a great effort, to increase your bonuses to a degree were they really make a difference. The longer you survive the better shape you get in, better cardio, better living off the land ect.

If you have a joystick you can also add walk forward to the throttle.

immortal player.. lag? or some kind of a glitch?
dallas replied to Deejay (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Massive desync, 1.7.1 will attempt to fix it. -
I see alot of questions about what this update will fix, read the first post! You can't expect the patch notes to contain what will not be fixed in the patch. Also servers will tell you when they reboot or when you try to join, that the update is out.

This is the MOST antisocial game ever
dallas replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
People forget that survivors don't exist anymore, we're all just bandits doing what we can. :) I try hard not to be a bandit though, but it's difficult, when people don't have any inventative to even stay alive. Maybe if there were more incentative to just satying alive, not to bandits or survivors in particular, people would be less inclined to get into fire fights for no reason at all.
