Rigel (DayZ)

Put yourself in this scenario: zombie apocalypse. Decimates 90% of the population. You are solo or even with a group of others. You hear on the radio that there is a relatively large group of survivors in a city 100 miles from you, let's say 300 people. Humans would gravitate to that developing group. I can't come up with a reason why people wouldn't. I wouldn't be too surprised if some small bandit groups would choose not to, but I think the majority of people would try to group up for safety's sake. I mean, why do we group up today? Why do we have nations, rather than tribes? It's because massive civilized societies tend to be safer and more beneficial to everyone involved. Now those are reasons for grouping up. As for shooting someone, I would be more prone to just let him go by without interruption. Killing is quite drastic. I'm not gonna say that I would never kill anyone, but I would leave it as the very last resort.

Just about all veteran servers I see have 3rd person on. There are very few with it off. I've spent hours searching for the perfect server and whenever I join it its either got 2 people in it or doesn't actually have the settings they said they had. On top of that, there are only a handful of expert servers.

No It removes the ability to defend yourself against griefers... that's probably the biggest con. It makes griefing people much easier.

Was it the one sitting in front of a church in Elektro? I saw that one and noticed an engine and two wheels missing. Obviously you don't have to tell me. I won't be going for it though so have fun with it if you get it fixed. :P

... and what would have you done if you found the wiked awsum weapons you were looking for? Would you have played after that? People that play games just so they can get the best stuff aren't playing the game. The point of the game isn't to get a Barret. It's to survive, and hopefully, thrive. It's to live another day, make friends, enemies, kill zombies... whatever. If you're goal is to get all the weapons, that's fine... but it's kind of a pathetic goal when you consider all the MMOs out there that you could be playing instead of DayZ that make that journey to get the best gear take YEARS. The best loot isn't even worth it in the end. If your goal is to get the best loot, then keep trying, but if its not working out, then consider making a new goal, because there are more fun goals you can set for yourself than to get the rarest items.

Yup.. got shot at with a CZ by a guy in a deer stand I was running towards. He alerted half the zombies in a town nearby and got mauled. I went back after hearing 15 CZ rounds go off, and heard flies. I investigated, heard flies, but no body. The zombies were even still around, as though he was still there. I cleared them out to make sure there was no body.

We are the testers... I prefer this new system, but it definitely needs to be fixed because there are a lot of problems with it. Server status is more important than anything at the moment, with the amount of crashing and de-sync occurring due to the high amount of data they are handling.. Fix the system, and keep the bug reports coming, don't remove it, we are here to test and give Rocket information so he can improve the game.

I did. Placed one today' date=' but only was able to do it in a middle of field. No objects, bla bla bla... No point in placing them as personal stuff saving point if you cant hide it. [/quote'] It took me a while to figure out. I can walk a short distance with the inventory still up. I spam clicked 'deploy tent' while walking around a little and it actually deployed a lot more easily. It then glitched out and i could place infinite tents. dumped it out of inventory and had like 6 show up on ground... grabbed 1 went somewhere else and set a new tent for my self. Trees were pretty close to it so I think it's just a matter of first click placement being buggy? I did the same thing you did but it never worked for me. Was your tent in your inventory prior to the 1.5.8 update? Someone thought that maybe those prior to 1.5.8 are bugged, the ones after aren't, but I don't know. I tried placing them in roads, on airfields, no luck.

The updater is having trouble opening for me.. I click to open and it just doesn't show up, or takes forever to show up. The process shows up in Task Manager, but if I end it and start it again, I still have the problem.

What about transfusions? I gave my friend a blood pack so he could use it on me, but he did not have the option. He tried using the scroll wheel while he had the blood bag in his inventory, and also tried right clicking the blood bag while looking at me. I had about 6k blood, but he didn't have the option in either case.

The Sun rises in the east, sets in the west. In between dawn and dusk, it is in the south. Southeast before noon, southwest afternoon, at noon its at about due south. If you're on a server with the same time as your time zone, you can easily find out which way is which. If you have a watch, you know exactly what time it is in game.

Don't understand what the point of this thread is... he is dealing with the stream sniping. Is "deal with it" for you just getting killed by the snipers?

Can servers run earlier versions of DayZ? I'm pretty sure I ran into some 1.5.6 servers after 1.5.7 came out, and I could play on them. Then all it would require is some 1.5.7 servers to be shut down, updated, then turned on. This would only cause a rush of players to join that one server that updates, while everyone on the not updated servers plays an older version of the game, not knowing there's even an update yet. Then do other servers one by one or in small bunches. I don't know very much about networking or server managing at all, so I'm probably missing some things. I'm assuming the main server doesn't need the update and just holds character information, so that could be wrong. Hope things work out though, this is an amazing mod and I don't want to see it falter.
