Caine Hollow

1.539.441 now :D keepin it alive :rolleyes:

Heres a suggestion that problably is impossible but...hey, could be fun to imagine atleast. Randomized Map. 1. Each server have a random map that will re-generate once a week/month 2. Only fixed locations are gps coordinates of saved tents/veichles and player (restricted so they dont end up in ocean but on beach if bad luck) 3. Key locations (airfields, military camps, main cities etc.) have a minimum distance (ie:1000m) from same kind and another distance (500-1000) from another kind of key location, but: Example 1: Small villages/towns: can in theory end up surrounding a key location making it HUGE/Be completely scattered as it is now. Example 2: The double coastline for spawning could in theory become two oposing coastlines (each side of map)/ or turn into one small coastline. Example 3: Deer stand created in middle of forrest where it really does not belong...... Example 4: Elektro ends up on highest mountain on the whole map/ or deepest valley... Ignore, laugh or discuss, up to ya`ll, have fun.

So playing for first time in 4 weeks (vacation) I stumpled upon something very annoying. 1. Came into NWAF (nighttime) from south, and I could not look towards fire station due to graph bugs, no worries, DONT look at it was interesting... Reaching firestation Iit was the same towards barracks. Graph-issues was gone when sun was up) (think something like this was allready reported) 2.Unknown if error or implemented anti-server-hopper. But I logged at NWAF for the night, and in morning I came back, due to kids poop habit I had to log a few minutes later again, 5-10 minutes later I came back, ran around for awhile and logged out again southwest of barracks. An hour later I log in and find myself in Otmel, as a new-spawned BUT with all my gear, I dont really mind exept I was hunting a DMR to replace my ACOG... BTW.. bandit system Implemented again? (yay)

People are way too hard and short sighted! (to op, lesson learned? Good for you, have fun on next account, obey rules) The rest of ya... Correct me if im wrong (long term benefits of forgiving hackers) A game/server that gets hacked got weaknesses right? Statements are for real hackers not paid services.. 1.Former (cooperative) hacker should be able to aid in security breaches. 2. A hacker gettin killed like you prolly gets pissed on the other hacker... Prolly are other benefits, but my lunchbreak is over. And on side note before flames Statements are imaginary, seeing shit on bright side, and my pc skills are install a game and google readme/tutorial, Simply put, got no programming skill, purily fictional thought.

Were thinking about something similar, but not spawning per se, rather a huge group wandering perhaps along main road from NW Airfield down and through cherno, along coast, through Electro and despawns at northern last player spawnpoint or walk back to nw airfield through woods, clearing any cars, tents.... Player :) Maybe also having super senses they had in... Eh.. well.. When los was based on eyes, (360' los) and maybe if aggroed, the revert to the old zeds that hunts you til you starve to death, or enter a building (unshakeable).

161.****have turned to 162.95** server owners must get home and update. Take chance now and clean house/laundry or something.

Real zombies are not capable of running at 45mph and zigzag. Cmon. I just love these sort of statements :D :D :D But I do agree they should nerf the speed of zeds to same as players, as is now they run way faster (hence zig-zag like nuts) until they catch up to us, would make more logic if same speed/slightly slower when we loose them so easy now. Keeps me thinkin nostalgic about "old" days when you were dead once aggro was cought.

looks like we have left 161 for 162.. atleast mine says 162.95168...

Since abillity to actully loose zeds came, my only reason not to shoot is due to other players and I want time to loot, fear of zeds themselfs are gone.

Im currently sitting with this http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Multimedia_Entertainment/N71Ja/#specifications since a few years back. and settings on low/disabled. Currently trying to outweight if stationary will be better thou for future (arma3), laptop is so much easier for lan-parties/vacations, but stationary WAY better/cheaper in long run.

This is something I dream of as well, either this or zeds roaming into woods from various sorts of towns/villages (but that is highly unlikely to be implememted).

If you have 2-4 canteens of water, matches, axe and knife, you can survive in wilderness, only exposing yourself when getting water or changing forest--> Stick to forests west of Zelenogorsk along the borders to the far north and north- east, that way you can hunt tents, hidden cars and other hunters. Upside: Great chance for gear stealing, long survival. Downside: missing most of map, hardly see other players

Been having this issue with most of my native servers as well, did find a uk server yesterday sticking to rules thou :)

Just read my signature.

Simply asking since Ive been trying to join every one that claims to go on gmt+2 (or+1) and all of them have perfect sunlight... (it is allmost 12 at night here where I am).

Like the idea for scent BUT My vote goes for crawlers only for scent tracing, and that they never give up, unless you cross water or it starts raining. (yeah, I sort of miss the old Z´s that never gave up, I had my own personal jumper once, following me until I starved to death)

+1 Like it, although I can see the frustrating part rather clearly since it takes ME allmost five minutes to get into my own countrys servers: Example: Imagen Logging in for 5 and then ----> or some bored twat with a car....But as I said, sounds like this could be fun, atleast for testing and see.

After spending my 65464`s chars Day 0 is Cherno, gearing up on matches, axe, knife and first time ever, Coyote 24slots bag, Enfield+beans and water in bag, winchester and 1911 on my person, I headed to the western forest. Day1-6 I spend running in forest, tent hunting, car hunting, animal hunting, I actully had to commit a bean-murder since I came to starve.... now Im allmost fully geared, and ready to go to civilization as the import-dealer that I am. (Get gear far away, go south and get CoD-Killed) What Im trying to say... you dont have more fun then you MAKE it yourself, I believe we all have been way to imprinted with games holding our hands all the way to the end, so when something like this comes along, we dont know what to do, I meen, no missions, no goals (surviving is in all games) hence why I camped the forest for a bloody week and recived the worlds paranoia... (yupp, I got attached to my gear) I do agree that Zombies should be other places other then loot areas, would be so cool running around hunting in woods and suddenly spot a zed or 20, (yeah I love the walking dead too). Anyway, as others already pointed out-----> alpha, ideas being added, big bugs flattend, come with reasonable well thought suggestions and hope that shit goes slowly cause the man want to avoid bugs like, zerg hordes of zeds with super senses spawning (could be fun thou) or opening a door sends you flying from cherno to the airport (enough getting killed closing it) and maybe he is working on Arma 3 options (hoping) as well as he entertains us... and probably reads constant complaints from people demanding crap he dont want or can make.

Dont understand how ppl develop the alt-F4 reflex.. Personally i hide and run/try to flank each time... Maybe just me getting old and enjoys the adrenalin... Edit: kudos for your prey not cheating death

As topic says, would it be possible to allow tents a nametag when looting them? Not so ppl can name the tents, just so tent becomes "Caine Hollow`s Tent" (or if clanned----> "`clantag` Caine Hollows Tent" Just an Idea I got when I raided a camp of 4 tents with really really nice gear (only took what I needed thou... so maybe it should be classified as shoplifting?)

Were thinking little like that too, especially when i swapped my winchester and lee enfield for a fal with n-scope and m16 ACOG from same tent... Or more correctly.. Wich clan will be royally pissed ;-) Or who gets happy to notice his dmr have changed into prev. mentioned Fal... Yes, i have not seen a village for 6 days... Best way to stay alive.. Unless i starve to death due to greed...

How would you rather pay for it? - Game purchase with Monthly fee? (WoW stylez) If standalone: Medium prized one time price to aquire game + Equal monthly fee to "wow sized maps" as most mmo`s have today. -or- Enough monthly fee to support official servers+support/updates - Game purchase only? (Guild Wars stylez) Only as dlc/expansion - Free to play, buy your shit?--- `nuff said <_< Have not liked it in any game so far, feels like being forced to buy to enjoy it. - Something else? If made standalone: Release skinpacks as dlc (thinking character cusomization, i.e each clothing part, facial, hair, hight, weight and so on.) Should generate extra cash for company and give player a chance to have unique chars and a chance to recognize friends by looks) Also: - Community developed or studio developed? As is now. Is YOUR creation, but you seem to take a look on community ideas and critisism on things. (if you manage to sift through all kiddie talk and find relevant info that is) - Community or studio servers? or both? Yours, (Studio I supose) - Kickstarter? or not? Not sure what this is, and slightly too lazy to look it up.

As title said, could be slightly offtopic.. Just had to share a movie tip :D http://www.headweb.c...318838/the-dead Had all Rocket and co. have given us. Pitch Black nights Cooking fires Low on ammo Cars Need of food and water and many other things. The director only forgot ONE thing. *biiiiiip* Well, Night ya`ll (You know you played DayZ too much when you compare Z-movies to it)

So went to sleep while "creating char" was a issue and got a true wake up this morning. 1. Visual=Very very confusing, why? -suposed lower number was good, as in how far away to be spotted.. -crouch in grass gave 51 while prone gave 525!! ( gonna try more to verify, could have just bugged) Requests clarifikation on this thing. 2. At first i thought zeds bugged since 1 of 5 saw me, then noticed it was only the one turned direcly towards me, even if very very far away.. Barerly saw them myself. -yay for survival against zeds again. -NOT running indoors -SEEMS like they are easier to loose now after patch -Still walks through shelfs in supermarket 3. Where is all cans and bottles? -went through school, bar, supermarket and firestation, not a single loot of any kind 'cept a Alice pack at station. So used to rubbish all over i now felt weird seing nothing anywhere, not even dumped outside. 4. Sat in electro bar watching supermarket, saw a survivor running to shop with train of zeds, enter, get into corner... did the relog magic on zeds. Naturally i gave him a head-pill with my gun upon logging back. -Request=let zeds stay when someone dc's ....................... This was my first 30 minutes of 1.7.2 Now Im leaving Electro for relative safety in forrests and barns.
