Caine Hollow

Using flashlight have the same lethal outcome as using road flares.. So i strongly advice against it. But if you DO want a cone shaped arrow saying "shoot here".... 1. Equip it by right click in toolbelt. 2. Press L or whatever you have assigned it to.

Kinda stopped reading after rigor mortis... Arent "Romero Zombies" but rather "28 days later" i.e infected, not dead. But do agree their movement need a overhaul, would be nice to shoot them in a distance.

As a newly spawned i ran to Balota Airfield, after arounf 10 minutes snooping around for wep. an axe wielder started to chase me. 5 minutes later I had a train of zeds after me+Mr.Axe, the comedy ended when som dumd f**** decided to macaroni me when i came through a bush... I bet he got a surprise when axe guy and zed train followed.... *evil grin*

....ffs, got my mother-in-law here, please please "script-kiddie" lemme in and get busy.. or I must be social once the mrs. notice I dont game.

Never been in Debug forres, but reading about it allways makes me horde food+cokes just in case *grins*

Nooby questions and annoying rants inc. Might be in wrong forums i guess.. 1. Call me old fashion, but for me "no-cd key" implies illegal copy, hence not trust worthy servers. - There goes 5-10 servers from my server list due having it in there desc. Who knows what kind of crap they do on those servers. 2. Since this is alpha, using latest patch is a req. atleast thats how I see it. - Another 10~ servers goes due to old DayZ or Arma2 beta files. 3. Locked clan servers? Wtf -filters unknown amount 4. Joining a allmost empty server for a chance to gain gear and avoid massmurderers... Admin was online=kicked even before loading was complete. 5. Simple question... Impossible to filter out of date servers? Feel free to correct me if im wrong/missunderstood something, and btw, joining only green pinged servers, so kicked due to ping is not it.

I know WE can hide corpses, but in my case it was sinking into ground when killed by 5 zeds, sure was cool since it looked like they ate him.. But it probably is this that causes corpfree flies..

As many others Ive found flies annoyng as hell, well, todsy perhaps ive found an answear. Commiting my first murder by zeds (bullet+leg+zed train) i saw the body sink into ground, of 5 zeds inly one remained as the othets shambled away. Zeda hiding corps=corpless flies?

I did the ugly server jump once when a zed refused to give the chase (me in safety on roof), tried to wait him out fir ten minutes before the hop.... Upon entering next server, big timer, major loss of blood... Made me jump server again thinking it was bug.. Timer restarted, but i had not enough blood. Conclusion: Secret anti-dc-to-save-life experiment P.s timer=passed out

Complete and utter silence in thick fog, only sound ya hear is your own heart+footsteps... Maybe make it so zeds arent heard either until they are in visual range (assuming fog=low visual range i.e 50-100 m. Naturally your own noice is then muffled as well... Think that would bring us closer to pure horror.

Damn i love the whole throw mechanic, especially when being a target and i go into hiding, HOWEVER: This morning i happend to toss a empty can into a wall... Had same visual and audio effect a standing close to grenade. Gonna see later if i can reproduce it. Happy midsummer ya'll

Gonna break (pun intended) a trend and claim that broken bones are instead of respawn, i meen, come on veterans!! compare today to how it was when we had to run forever in hopes of salvation (usually a bullet to head) just couse we pissed a zed. Now we can loose the zeds just by running (bugs not counted and well aware of), kinda gives, me atleast, a really HUGE motivation to be stealthy. Anyway, if broken bones is not intended it will get patched away, until then... Stealth ;-) or run yer ass off.

Thoughts on this? I can easily do this. HOWEVER. There may be a small performance impact from it. EDIT: Actually' date=' it would keep spamming your position. Would have a major performance impact. I could probably write something on this later. But for now, might not be possible. [/quote'] I know nothing of yer line of work buuut: If investigate have impact, what about it simply changes the zeds curret destination to that of the sounds origination and then back if no target found? (did that even make sense?)

Hmm, cant really remeber exactly now, but if it is the same crap that pops up for me when im loading into server... I just press OK and screen loads game.... Or freeze on loading... Have not happend during .15 thou ( freeze i meen). Must be pressed immideatly or there is a definitive screen freeze.

What ive felt so far: 1. Stealth has become a method Of survival again (mostly) 2. Plenty of bandages, cokes and pepsis (less food seems thou) 3. Plenty of ammo (but weapons are rare) 4. Barbed wire-addicts making life difficult for players on the run 5. Making crouch-walk noice while zed on other side wall have a 50% to alert 6. Standing indoor next to wall is bad if horde knows your loc. 7. Getting knocked unconsius+broken bones+bleed effect seems a bit much for 1-3 zed hits 8. Occasionally eye/ear marker dont notice area (unless intended while bag are full) 9. Dropping a weapon on grassed ground made it disapear,(had a spare for a newbie) (might update post if i find more to whine about *grin*)

Wrong thread..... Text removed

Reading forums makes me amazed everytime, I meen... PRONE? Throu cities? HOW? My last prone attempt was on a roof.. After a re-log.. I attracted every zed in the whole area, luckily they were dumb enough to not use ladders, wich gave me a chance to break my legs when i tried jumping 2m. down for a run away... Died naturally when they cought me... In respec... Should just have disconnected and gone to bed :-)

Just wondering if i missed a patch note.... Happen to aggro a couple zeds, ran into a train station and tested my newly Aquirerd crowbar on them. They died and i was alive but bleeding and since then ive bern hearing flies... As if im a damn corps....

Just had my first run from beach after being killed by a wc-door..(still makes me blush) Anyway, trying to stealth as pre-1.7 allmost got me killed due to shady Crouch bug(!?) eye markers switch between 2-4 while walking, somtimes dropping to zero when standing still. However, when being chased i did what ive read... 1. Get into a house 2. Wait for zeds 3. a) If having backdoor-use it 3. b) no backdoor? Rush through horde Plz give a HORDE power to hold/slow runners so this aint possible Some minutes later im in elektro, collecting hordes and ditching as i please, in the end of the session i got one zed after me, so i decided to climb a ladder to some large pipes.... LoS comes into play.... Heard of a sitting duck? 1. Aim down the ladder 2. Squeeze trigger 3. Decide to log off til next hotfix/patch I love respawn w/o weps and new los IDEA!! But tune it down.. Make zeds slower so we can outrun them and THEN hide, i.e zeds too close=they will know where you are. Maybe make them patroll area in outward circle/investigate whole houses.

RE: I play DayZ and I'm an asshole. DEAL WITH IT! (Today 06:23 PM)Freek314 Wrote: I hope Rocket adds invincible super zombies that shoot goddamned lasers out of their eyes and shit live grenades to the areas around hospitals and barracks. Made laugh so hard i allmost woke my kids.

So today at work, me and a collegue started to talk dayZ, (im sort of recriting him) and he asked me what the point of game was... Surviving, i replied. Thats it, unless you get bored and join the cod-kids. Anyway, we came up with following idea. Survivor Timer A clock in debug window that counts ACTIVE game time per char. I.e not offline I.e DAY:0 HOURS:3 MINUTES:45 SECONDS:32(counting) -Longest and shortest gameplay is saved from death to death Always having a top recotd to beat And a dirt ya dont wanna hit Camping in woods for records could be a issue...unless A) timer stops in wilderness (boring) B) camping (standing still) spawns 2-4 random zeds every 5-10 min unless you move away atleast 3-500 metres (balancing+math i leave for someine els) Could be client side only for fun, or some slight rank system for sports.... Good record achiver dont wanna die. ------------------------ Feel free to flame, but please add a reason to why it would be bad :) Reason to idea was that: 1.no ranks for pk.. Aint a pvp game per se.. 2. No rank for killing zeds.. Would remove point Of DayZ. Horror/survivor game should have surviving as prio.

Cheap bump i know. But personally id love something like this... Client side at least.

Must go ot abit here and ask about this qute; *name*; PM me your address so I can mail you a fuckin' cookie...or come murder you, maybe. Half of this is a legit insult wich should be ignored, but the other half Is a threat, wich under no circumstances are legit. Whether it is written for fun or no, is of no concern... Death threaths... Well, you see my point?

Yay, no more insane spawn/aggro range.. got a couple points thou. 1. Crouching indoors 0 eye/ear markers 2. Crouch walking outside made eye marker jump up and down from 0-3... even had it on 4 or 5 when I happen to walk on road.. while crouched. 3. Since the hotfix it seems zeds are totally deaf, no attraction when I gunned down a zed with my revolver. And a couple rquests. You know the outhouse toilet next to the big barns... Place make it possible to get stuff that spawn inside... spent 5 minutes trying every angle until I accidently closed the door and manage to actully kill myself.... with a friggin toilet door... (was a Alice-pack I think it is called that had spawned *sniff*) Im never gona log into DayZ without checking forums for updates as of now... never know whats gonna come i.e insane zeds one day.... retirerd zeds the next. .... or wc-doors thats bloodthirsty... so embarrasing.. killed by a door on an outhouse.... *blush*
