Fashionsouls has found it's way into DayZ, hardcore game community never fails to amaze me...

they sure should have limited the camera more when prone and crouched, the changes while standing are nice, but you can still peek over stuff and peeking to the side has not changed at all, except that you can now peek around right corners easier :rolleyes: they tried, and of course it didn't fiy all issues with 3rd person peeking (which is impossible to fix anyway), but ultimately this at least makes peeking above high concrete walls harder (the ones at the airfield)

People always expect something for their money, if they see something they think should be better, they complain about it, because they payed for it, they feel entitled to do so Even if they put 200 hours into a game, they give the game a bad rating, because "it is buggy, boring etc.", but at the same time throw twice as much money at a game that nets them 8 hours of mediocre boring shooter fun, which they never play again People also have an inherit way of concentrating on the bad things: Sure, yesterday you had an hourlong session with your friends playing Dayz, and today you died with your gear due to a bug what do you think is more proabable? someone writing "Had a very fun session yesterday with my friends in this game, it's awesome" into the forum, or "The stairs bug is annoying, fix it now!"

Hells ankles maybe? Required to wear short canvas pants and a riders jacket, along with athletic shoes

Good man, take my beans running speed is way to fast, can't wait for the stamina system

you know of the famous toilet in the middle of a forrest? it's the best of both worlds! 047 102

well, they stated that they will make the bases vulnerable, so the only option to build a real "base" is to hide it away somewhere or protect it 24/7 since the "protect it 24/7" option is probably not viable, i guess building some sort of "combat base" in a city would be kinda nice, a base that is not to large, basically a small bunker, from which you can snipe people in a city or wall off high loot areas, and take the base builsing stuff with you when leaving or just leave it there to get destroyed/stolen

I normally play on 30, maximum 40 people servers (except for exp. of course), and they seem to run WAY better regarding desync and lag, also, you barely notice the difference regarding the amount of people you meet if 50 or 30 players, the only players i usually meet are at medium/high loot areas (NWAF, Veresnik, camp west of zeleno, zeleno, southeast zeleno, green mountain...) or at the coast, so since i don't want to be involved in automatic assault rifle fire all the time, i usually stick to the coast if i feel lucky or run around aimlessly in the center of chernarus

i have very good experience from the mod regarding places people won't look, the black forrest for example is a place where you can park a V3S for weeks, but there are about five places i know that are like that as well

no, nonononono the north and west at the map border are the only safe places for big camps with lots of guns, don't set up some barrels in the middle of the map where nobody runs along, especially not in the thick small pine tree forrests where nobody bothers to look northwest at debug people, the only place to set up camp^^ (seriously dude don't tell them something like that, i needz lootz too)

seriously, if silent player make you paranoid, look up the videos from DanielfromSL on youtube people talking calm and relaxed doesn't always mean they are friendly, or sane

yeah, the whole "normal clothing protecting from 7.62x51mm rounds" thing is really weird, will never know why they decided to do that also a single bullet ruining clothing is kinda odd

Improvised crossbow bolts

of course, that would make sense did you try experimental with "-newui" btw? i heard they are working on the UI in the current Exp. patch

ping has very little to do with desync afaik, the main problem is with public srvers having to sync with the hive constantly, this was also a problem in the mod, stats like hunger/thirst/blood all got synced through the hive which is basically a database if you have big issues with this, try a private hive server, maybe there it will be better i noticed that desync is pretty bad on eu servers, while on american servers and private hive servers its not as bad, maybe the piblic hives are located in the us and take longer to update stats on eu public servers

Just out of interest, how would it look if you are looting stuff? how do you see stuff on the ground/on a body/barrel/tent? i think the boxes inventory is a pretty good approximation, the only thing that bothers me is being able to stuff things that are to big into to small slots for example a high capacity vest has several small pouches, yet you can fit a whole SMG in there as if it would be one giant pouch similar with jeans, which should have a divider in it for two 2x1 spaces and you should be able to rotate stuff to fit in somewhere, like in RE4 for example besides that, the inventory system seems fine for me, there are way bigger issues the devs need to work on, but giving items a size in m³ and having a backpack capacity in m³ would make more sense, along with including weigth for items, which they plan on doing anyway

sorry, really not my kind of style, i think it looks terrible especially for the menu with directional selection choices, scrolling with the mousewheel is faster and you don't need to move the mouse for that the hotbar looks good though

i remember a thread where base building was talked about, where they specifically talked about this on public hives, i think they will put you just outside of the base when you try logging into it if it doesn't belong to you or you are not registered in the base regarding softskills: that is really awesome, i also hope that once these are in they will work on the wound system a bit, fixing a broken leg just by applying a splint won't let you run, it will probably let you beraly walk, and only morphine will relieve you from your pain, but without a stable bone, you wont be able to even stand upright, basically you'd need both a splint and morphine to be able to run again, though maybe sprinting should be out of order for at least half an ingame hour after that the best wound system i've ever seen was in metal gear solid 3 Snake Eater, by far ^^, whish DayZ could move into that direction

well, i found it always pretty funny in the mod to shoot people in the legs when they are chased by zombies...

do you need any bait to put into the snare or does it function without one?

to be honest the idea is far away from stupid, you do know the sickenss (not sure if virus or bacteria) that make animal rabid (Tollwut in german)? i don't know why it affects humans in a different way than animals, but if a slight mutation of that virus would make people just as agressive as animals instead of just killing humans, that would be basically it also, i think many mathematical conclusions as to how fast the virus would spread and kill people don't realise how people would first barricade in their homes until food runs out, then die when they search for more i certainly wouldn't continue my normal life as i do right now if i heard that a deadly zombie virus is on the loose

well maybe he has a problem with bullet travel time and bullet raise/fall? i don't personally play CoD but i think they don't represent the bullets in their physicaly correct manner, or are they?

it's a server specific setting, you only need to find a server that has the setting you like they should find a visual representation on how fast the time setting is, right now you only see an x after tha current server time to show that, maybe a number after the x would be good to show exactly how fast the server time passes for example: server without time accel. at 15:32 is simply 15:32 server with time accel x4 at the same time: 15:32x4

It's desync, it was always in the game, the devs are working on it

you mean we should not complain about realism if we live in a first-world country? if we would not, we wouldn't be able to complain about such a thing, and probably wouldn't care about some PC game at all ;) the reason why this is important for dayz is because there needs to be something you lose when you die, or else the game would not be goodat all, the thrill of dayz comes from losing all your stuff because of one little mistake, throwng you back a few hours or even days if food would be no concern at all, which atm it really isn't in DayZ, the only thing hard to get is good gear, being hydrated and energized has become far to easy, people can sprint across the map without lacking food or drnk at any time as far as i am concerned, as soon as cars are in the game, people should have a WAY higher consumption rate of water and food while sprinting, while lower consumption rate while jogging, people arguing with the "but i wanna be with my squad" argument can then have a car to get together
