Lingor Island to be the next official map release? Clearly the people want it!
Shaimou replied to [email protected]'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Lingor Island seems to be very linear and small. It also seems to be made pretty carelessly and looks feeble. And the jungle theme doesnt fit. Just my opinions tho. -
So How Many Have Stoped Playing DayZ?
Shaimou replied to LumberBack's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have stopped playing and wont start again until the duplication bugs are fixed and the game is improved further. Now its just a complete joke to find 30 minutes from spawn a shitload of tents full of advanced military grade weapons, nvgs and every high-end gear. It is way too easy without the duplication, too. What comes to pvp, I dont much care. Im a survivor, I shoot if I have to. But thats a rare event since I never encounter other players. -
What is the point to DayZ, if not to kill players?
Shaimou replied to Ozelot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Its PVP weighted because the survival in the game is way too easy at the moment. You will wind absolutely massive amounts of ammunition almost everywhere. Guns are not rare at all. Food and drink spawns almost anywhere. And duping makes things infinitely worse. -
Duping... Doesnt everyone just love it? I know a magical, hidden place in the mountains where different kinds of guns grow in the trees. Where grenades, pipe bombs and NVG's grow in the bushes like berries alike. Travellers all around Chernarus pass through this place because of its gainful fruits. Fruits that grow much faster and taste much better than those at the coastlines... At every 8 hours after the realm restart, the fruits and wonders of this place are all grown back and just waiting for lonely travellers to gather them into good use.

Would you kill them or trade them
Shaimou replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No. Player run events are great. But there will always be dicks. Fuckers that pretend friendly and those who ruin events like that are the reason why we can never have anything good. -
Will ammo now start being valuable?
Shaimou replied to lnfighter's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The pistols have too high random bullet spread to be reliable for headshots. And it will be freaking difficult to do so when the game lags, de-syncs, whatever. You wont be headshotting zombies that are chasing another player, especially the ape-zombies. -
Will ammo now start being valuable?
Shaimou replied to lnfighter's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No. Just get a tent and duplicate the shit out of everything. Also, ammo is not rare at all. The most common ammo types that can be found almost anywhere are: -Makarov mags -.45 ACP ammo -STANAG mags -DMR mags -2/8Rnd Slugs/Pellets -Enfield rounds Ammo will not run out unless you are a sniper pussy who only hoards anti-material rifles. I like this change, alot. But the duplication is still a very sad thing. -
Are they going to fix the duplication bugs anytime soon? A while ago I found a huge fucking pile of advanced military grade weapons, nvg's, backpacks and a shitload of satchel charges enough to blow up both Cherno and Elektro. Of course I ''stole'' many of the weapons and bombs to my own tents, but then later I realised they were all duplicated and kind of lost my interest to the game. Infinite weapons, ammo, food and drink? Yeah g'bye, survival...

Male, and I play a male character. Female characters cant equip special clothing in DayZ but they have an unfair advantage by having a much smaller hitbox than male characters, making them harder to get hit. They have that advantage in most of the games. TL;DR: If you play competitively, you choose female for unfair advantage. Otherwise, you jack off to your character or you are some kind of strange individual who wants attention from males in a virtual game.

''Increase the number of zombies'' - And sneak tactics will be useless. ''introduce zombie hordes'' - They are already in, just fire a loud weapon and enjoy the infinite zombie spawns. (Just fix the gunshot sounds first!!!) ''Decreased Ammunition'' - Maybe a little less rounds, yes. But remember zombies spawn fast and are infinite, and the same should go for ammo.
-
Will there be enough ammo once infinite ammo is gone?
Shaimou replied to WisdomSnork's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ahh... no replenishing mags anymore... That I've been waiting for so long. Now the 15 AK mags I carry in my backpack are finally useful! Just remember that zombies spawn fast and they are infinite, so should be the ammunition. -
Opinions on Zombie Hearing and Aggro in 1.7.2.4
Shaimou replied to HollowDizzi's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Zombies are pretty good now, the only downside with them is that they dont hear gunshots at any range. If their hearing is going to be fixed sometime in the far future, then I'd like them NOT to aggro on you instantly, instead make them look for you around the area. -
Ahhh! Fix the zombies! They still dont hear gunshots no matter what the range.
-
I always play on 3DP servers. Why? Because I dont like the clunky 1st person animations and camera shaking. Yes I have head bob off but it does not have any effect on your characters body movement. Thats about it.
-
Think about the positive side of it all: You get a much warmer feeling everytime when you encounter a friendly player!

Have Zombie Spawning Mechanics Changed?
Shaimou replied to Thortimer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I've noticed much less zombies. -
The War Z... Its graphical design does not look very amusing to my eyes and it looks kind of a more casual game than DayZ. A safezone like a big town where players have restrictions? Also 200-400 square kilometers map with up to 250 players? No thanks, that would be an insane clusterfuck. I havent read much about it so, dunno... Also if the zombies in the game are actual zombies and NOT infected then I will not touch it. I dont like any fantasy mixed with 'realism' in games at all. And there is something fishy about The War Z. I just smell it. And by the way ''The War Z'' is absolutely horrible as a name. Absolutely freaking ridiculous.

Think its the Mountain Dew. Soda can spawn almost anywhere, still you almost never see it. Soda can spawn in deerstands, industrial buildings, farms, residential buildings, military sites... still no Mnt. Dew.
-
Can ANYONE here answer these simple questions?: Do the freaking zombies actually hear your gunshots? If yes, how? Do you need to shoot at their direction? Which gun are you using? Are you on the latest beta patch and 1.7.2.4? I've tried atleast 15 servers right now and I havent aggroed a single zombie by firing my M1911 or AKS-74 at any distance from them. I can go all rambo and run through Cherno firing my all my 15 mags of AK and the only zombies that aggro on me are those who get a direct visual.
-
I've been asking around and reading the 1.7.2.4 feedback threads to see if anyone else has noticed the zombies are totally deaf in this newest patch. So far I havent seen almost any complaining about it so I've been wondering... Do the zombies hear your gunshots??? I've noticed the zombies hear absolutely nothing when I fire a gun right next to them. Is it a server side issue or what? Edit: And by the way does the 50% audibility reduction through objects introduced in 1.7.2 work for gunfire too?
-
Only thing thats wrong with zombies is that they: 1. Are deaf. 2. Spawn too close to the player. 3. Their respawn time is too short.
-
Naw, wont help. Try it sometime. At least the makarov I used for a long time had a maximum accurate range of 5 meters. Beyond that, the bullets randomly spread everywhere around the iron sights. I did some ''sharpshooting'' with my M1911 today. There was a bugged zombie who was just standing still. I was at a range of 15 meters, aimed directly at his head and it took the entire clip to finally land a shot where I was aiming. And no, I wasnt exhausted, in pain or whatever excuse anyone could make up.

Trading 7 NVGS (The people the previously wanted them never PM'd back)
Shaimou replied to Smacked's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Got any interest for L85A2 AWS? -
zombies are bull and ruining the game
Shaimou replied to tfninja's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Zombie aggro distance: Fine. Zombie combat skills: Fine. The amount of zombies: Fine. Misleading zombies and escaping them: Fine. Zombie endurance: Fine. Zombie respawn time: NOT fine. 1-2 minutes respawn time is bullshit. You gun down one zombie and you will encounter endless waves of constantly spawning zombies. Zombie respawn range: NOT fine. I personally dont like zombies to spawn right at my fucking face. Zombie level of alertness: NOT fine. The zombies cant hear your gunshots even if you are firing an Enfield right next to them. Just my opinions tho. -
Why do regular/recruit servers exist?
Shaimou replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Why the fuck people cry about regular servers, crosshairs and 3DP servers? There are as many Veteran servers as Regulars. Same goes for 3DP servers and CH servers. Just dont play on one. Fuckers.
