1.7.2 Opinion thread. All your opinions, good and bad, go here.
rjack85 replied to Denuth's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
My only suggestion is to tone down the zombie respawn time. Can't loot a heli or a deer stand without new zeds respawning. Also zombies see too far. As far as fixes well... -magazines still magically replenish after logout (not complaining lol) -animals stop moving when you get close to them most of the time -duping still works...there are giant tent cities and huge fortified areas on the NW edges of most servers. Take a look. free stuff for all. -Vehicles? what vehicles. They are still hidden away off map. Also there still isn't much to do once your outfitted and living off the land. Quess I'll have to become a murderer like everyone else. /shrug ...now back to your regularly scheduled program. -
New DayZ player inbound. Any tips/hints?
rjack85 replied to Noise (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
want to get equiped real fast? Grab a couple cans of beans and 3 or 4 cans of coke/pepsi. Head NW to the very top of the map corner. When you find the corner which you can tell because of the dark line that denotes the "inbounds" and Outof bounds" areas follow the line either south or east. You will eventually entounter a HUGE camp of tents which you can loot to your hearts content. It's like Christmas and the Easter Bunny all rolled into one. -
Same problem, and if you do get the download it is a 0kb file that is corrupted.

I'm bloody done with this deathmatch game
rjack85 replied to puffu's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It's a death match game. Don't try to sugarcoat it. If you don't know your partner in real life you can't trust them in this game. Sooner or later that bitch you befriended in a fucking forum will shoot you in the face and take your shit. Don't trust anyone. Been there, done that. It's an unbalanced mod with all the perks going to the murderers. Apparently that's the way "they" want it. Deal with it or don't play. -
How come doing the shift clicky thing doesn't always work. It used to on my map but now it seems broke. The circle is marked on the map but when I go back to the play interface there is no direction arrow or distance any more. :(

Does anyone know of a server with vehicles still?
rjack85 replied to wolfgang784's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
How can you tell if a server has vehicles enabled or not? How can you tell if helicopters are enabled on a server? How can you tell whether or not all the available helicopters, vehicles, bikes, etc are being hoarded by 1 group...somewhere off the map? I have been playing about a month. I have seen one vehicle. An ATV that was hung up on a fence where someone crashed it and couldn't get it off the fence. Never seen a truck, helicopter, or car. -
The ONLY Realistic Way to Prevent Deathmatching: Make DayZ a Living Hell
rjack85 replied to Time Glitch's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
From what I can see the basic game mechanics do not lead to any trust. I can only assume it is meant to be that way. Making shit scarcer will not change that or basic human nature. The biggest issue facing the player who doesn't want to become that murdering SOB that just shot you in the back while you were bent over looting is that once you get most of the items you need to survive, there really isn't much else to do. Might as well make the game more interesting for yourself and become a bandito and harass the newbies. For this reason alone the mod has a limited future and may not be something that is financially viable...but that is a thread all its own. -
The ONLY Realistic Way to Prevent Deathmatching: Make DayZ a Living Hell
rjack85 replied to Time Glitch's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
bullshit...forced grouping doesn't work. It's been done and fails. -
Tents should be limited to 1 or 2 per person imo. Same with vehicles. If you acquire/save one you loose any others you have.

LA 8 Second time I was killed by nothing..
rjack85 replied to Hendrix (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
The mod will never be sell-able as long as this can happen. I hope there is a way to fix the issue. -
Cargo.sqf spotted in the wild again !
rjack85 replied to rajkosto's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
What? I'm shocked. Server owners can't cheat. I read it in a sticky post just above this one so it must be true. -
VEHICLE UPDATE (database side): 2012-06-16
rjack85 replied to Ander (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Vehicles shouldn't be hoarded. One group of server admin buddies hoarding all the vehicles on a server is dumb. -
I found one yesterday near Rog/Por on the road sw of the little town.

I like 3rd person because I can see myself. My avatar. This is not an arcade game. Go back to Xbox if you want a cheap ass fps. I like the fact I can see my environment and the immersion of seeing my avatar as he travels the world. I can take screenshots, make videos, and generally enjoy the game more. Remove 3rd person and you remove a lot of PC gamers. It's a dumb move. If you don't like it. Don't fucking us it.

So are there any helicopters left on the servers that haven't been appropriated by groups/clans/server admins cheats? I've never seen one in game but I have only been playing for a couple of weeks.

Suggestion for cutting down on bandits
rjack85 replied to Orgy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I have a better idea. NO ONE SHOT KILLS WHILE A PERSON IS LOOTING! EVERY time I have been killed it is when I am bent over looting a corpse or loot item and can't see anything or react quickly. It sucks and needs to change. I don't mind being shot at when looting but lets get rid of the griefers in the towers or on the grassy knolls and give real players a chance to react. -
You all are worried about disconecting to avoid death. lol. How about worrying about something importatnt like all the hackers/cheaters and clan admin server cheats. Let's get our priorities straight. If the cheating isn't stopped the game will not do well IF it is ever actually sold for money.

EU 40 admin (Dregek) is a cheater!
rjack85 replied to ldw-troublemaker's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I am wondering about "waiting to join server" errors. CAN A SERVER ADMIN CONFIGURE THE SERVER INCORRECTLY SO THE GENERAL PUBLIC CANNOT JOIN BUT ONLY THIS CLAN/BUDDIES CAN? It would be a great way for a clan or server admin to control the game. Only those with the correct combination of version or whatever could enter the game, collect whatever they want unmolested by other players, reset the server so any one could join. They would be the fully decked out in the best while everyone else gets sniped at their leisure. -
I think there is a way to track people in this game. I can be on a virtually empty server and get shot once while looting and die. It happens over and over on multiple servers. My question to those more knowledgeable about server admin rights and cheats is simple. IS THERE A WAY TO TRACK DOWN THE LOCATION OF PLAYERS LOCATION? IF A there is then it's a real game breaker. I personally think there should be NO one shot kills when a player is looting and defenseless. But that's just me.

Why is everyone I meet an ***hole?
rjack85 replied to Deacoon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
if you believe an overwhelming percentage of people would shoot other survivors on sight then you must be hanging out with psychopaths. people act this way due to the poor mechanics in the game' date=' not because they are striving for realism. people only use the realism argument when it suits them. [/quote'] I agree. This is why murderers should have some kind of penalty. Otherwise it's just another dumb pvp sorta mmo. -
If third person goes away I will stop playing this mod. Mandating first person is just dumb. You want a sell-able product? Don't do such a stupid thing.

Why is everyone I meet an ***hole?
rjack85 replied to Deacoon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Killed twice today in Cherno just when I was about to have some descent gear although I still had NO WEAPON except an axe. An Axe Aint Shit when the murderer is 300 yards away. Third time I got sniped but escaped the killing shot by ducking into a building. Unfortunately the shot broke my leg. The murderer never came to finish me off. Now I had to crawl all the way across Cherno to try to get some morphine at the hospital. I actually made it to the hospital after about an hour of evasive crawling manuevers only to be killed because of some game mechanic that says you must die immediately if you turn too close to a building?? Moral. Next person I see I kill. Being a nice guy doesn't pay in this game. Their is NO PENALTY for being a MURDERER and LOTs of drawbacks to being a "friendly". -
Notice: All those who get stuck at loading
rjack85 replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I still can't get into the game. It worked this morning early and now I get terminal "loading" most of the time. A couple of times I got into a game to a barren landscape with a few people standing around?? Update. so now I can get into a game server but I'm in the "wilderness" that goes on forever. Is this a new "feature"? I ran for miles south and never did find the ocean. What's up with that?
