Speculation on the upcoming ''survival focused'' patch.
aux7 replied to repzaj1234's topic in General Discussion
for sure it means that the player needs to take care of what he eats and drinks, but if he does catch something, then he needs a fix. So then you have to find a med centre somewhere to get the fix or he has to be carrying it on him. If the first, if he tries to go to a med centre on the coast, the player is more likely to die from player interaction rather than the illness. The inland ones make better sense, but player interaction still has high percentage rates of death than the illness. With the relative infrequency of med centres, if it gets deleterious to a players health in the same way/rate that the weapon, clothing and tool deterioration occurs (currently unrealistic) the player is likely to die before he gets to a med centre, if another player doesnt get them on route (also assuming the med centre hasnt already been looted by another player). if the second, players will start having serious inventory problems by having (or trying) to cover every eventuality in their backpack. Its bad enough now with weapons, ammunition, tools and cleaning/repair kits. (ignoring carrying food and water and the steadily increasing range of ammunition, also ignoring finding some of this stuff). With such a load in your backpack, you have no chance of running, so you have to fight. In my opinion bases would need (come to the fore) to be used to store such emergency stuff, and currently you cannot secure bases or tents. Really, if we want this type of immersion (sure) then we need to be able to craft/set up secure bases . . . from raw materials. And an axe or knife that doesnt get ruined so fast. Be able to build a small shelter from the trees surrounding with an axe or knife. dig some storage in the ground. Camouflage both with fast growing bushes that you can plant around it, and secure .. . somehow. none of this looking for nails and plank spawn points, miles from wherever you might want to set up. Some of us run alone . . . . . . (ok, mostly) -
You have to wonder how much connection there was between Bohemia Interactive and Bohemia Interactive Simulations in the past. I could guess it could be that the manufacturers of the weapons while it was associated with a full milsim tool, allowed the naming to carry over to Arma, or because of a close relationship between the two companies (BI & BIS). With the sale of Bohemia Interactive Simulations to Riverside in 2013, I could suppose that the ip became a lot more sensitive. Arma and Dayz being games, the manufacturers wanted no association that might possibly affect their reputation (the manufacturer) maybe? The models would be Bohemia Interactive ip and so cannot be affected, or maybe have slight mods to only represent the weapon rather than actually model the weapon. In Arma, there were a full range of weapons from ancient to modern, with DayZ we only really have old weapons, no modern weapons. It will be interesting to see if those modern weapons make their way into DayZ. It may even be that Bohemia Interactive Simulations do not want a potentially cheaper sim to interfere in their mil sim business and so will limit weapons and realism and hence are contractually restricting it. And again that could limit the modern weaapons. Or Bohemia Interactive are having to negotiate the ip with each manufacturer for each weapon individually.

if you find a spot that you think is great, chances are 80% of the other players agree with you and the closer you are to a plank source, the closer you are to another base . . .

doesnt really bother me in the game. I use different labels when it suits me when I talk about things. The pipsi and other cans have developed their own mythology, and it may be so with the guns. though I have never thought of the LAR as a FAL even though they were the manufacturer, its always been an SLR for me in my opinion the manufacters (of the real life products) have missed a marketing opportunity here but there could be other issues I dont know about
-
ahhh, I have never seen that video, thanks, very clever
-
As far as I know from my last attempt in 1.02, damaging a ghilli or plate carrier does not change the colour as per the videos recommendations. You could always put in a request for more pink. . . but there is the pink collar dress or pink raincoat
-
unfortunately not, Ive been there too . .. .
-
yeah, Ive seen that too. I tried to borrow someones barrel, it wouldnt let me pick it up. I had a look at it and it was a fire barrel . .. on 1.02 on pc thinking about it, its a good way of stopping someone borrowing it . . .
-
We might just manage to build picture one, if we have bucket loads of hammers, spades and axes. I will ignore the problems of acquiring the raw materials - nails, planks, tents etc Picture two is a fantasy, up there with unicorns, and the tooth fairy
-
from my experience unfortunately not
-
mmm would be nice, but unfortunately would only solve the server hopping. Which definitively would be a good thing. Stopping Duping would be/is a far more complex problem, imho. But also definitively would be a good thing.

Unrealistic nighttime/Forced to go loud on a survival
aux7 replied to Jake Blake's topic in New Player Discussion
Im not sure what it is like on xbox, but the night light that came with 1.02 on pc has completely changed my night time experience for the worse (yes i know this is an xbox comment channel, but your version should be tracking the pc version now) (oh yes, expletives have been deleted and the writer is really apologetic) -
on pc you dont need metal sheets to build a fence, only planks, cut tree trunks for posts and nails. You can use metal sheets though.

Unrealistic nighttime/Forced to go loud on a survival

3DFX killed themselves. Back in that day, you really didnt need to spend 5k on a pc, My pc cost less than 1k in 2002 that was still good in 2009 playing crysis (with graphics cards updates, last card was a 780ti) graphics cards updating yes .. You can but you really dont need to spend this kind of money on a pc even in this day. You can spec & self build a pc for a lot less than £800 to play games at a very high quality. I still have my 2009 pc that will play any game relatively easily, so you can pick up second hand parts and build something really cheap. here is a link to a reddit that goes into details re pc/console better than I ever could . . https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/wiki/guide -
yeah, I watched Baty playing with a ruined knife in that last devs video, I havent tried it yet though. Dont know, havent had to fight anything yet, but by the sound of it I am not looking forward to it. Still not happy about the nightlight either, you have no idea how concealed you are in the undergrowth at night
-
ok, unfortunately I did not have such a happy ending, he did get me in the end. I took a wrong turn and he didnt run out of rounds .. . . close combat (currently zombies only), I always use a knife. Its just a pain that they get damaged so quick (the knives)
-
only if you aim, a guy chased me with a shot gun, firing many many rounds indescriminately. (I was a fresh spawn)
-
I thought I saw that they were recruiting a new marketing manager for DayZ, or?

you can see some of the history in the Bohemia Interactive wikipedia . . . from wiki "Founded by Marek Španěl in 1999, the studio released its first game in 2001, a military shooter titled Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, which received critical acclaim and brought recognition for the studio. Following Operation Flashpoint was a series of downturns, such as porting the game to Xbox, which led to financial losses and the development of a sequel later abandoned by the publisher Codemasters. The studio fell into financial troubles until the United States Marine Corps employed the studio to create simulation games to train soldiers. A new division called Bohemia Interactive Simulations was created, and later spun off and become a standalone business entity." And there is a wiki for American Army, which is interesting . .

I hope and expect further colour variants to appear, also for the assault vest, pouches and pistol holster, as per the gloves I am waiting more for the ability to adapt the colour of the ghillie suit and gun cover . . .
-
As Amadieus says , plus the ammo box, teddy bear. You just have to be careful where you try to bury it. Near trees is a bad idea, in grass hides the disturbed earth graphic that appears. If it comes up with position placement, it means you cannot bury the item you are looking at. If you do dig though you can get earthworms to eat . .. . yeah, I saw, sure. 6pm Z time ok Which server did you join? pm me
-
find a barrel, move it to where you want to hide it, and drop ... there are rumors (I havent tried it) that you can drop them in shallow water and also trees (I didnt manage to get it to work/wolves got me) shovel?
-
ok, interesting.

Im kinda guessing whats happening. I dont really check which "platform" is asking questions, unless its xbox specific - keypads etc there are interesting discussions on xbox age distribution on other sites . . https://www.gamespot.com/forums/xbox-association-1000003/average-age-for-xbox-gamers-26321179/ I dont have an xbox, I have my pcs for work as well as gaming
