Private Poptarts

I rather would not go and buy a new processor right away, one of the reasons being that I'm on a shoestring budget lol. Maybe I could give the overclocking a try? Could you give me lil instructions how to do it, how much, is there any risks etc Nevermind, I can google that... there's plenty of guides around :P

It kind of is like serverhopping, without disconnecting. Gray area? I don't think there's much harm camping a house waiting for matchsticks to spawn but cycling for rare stuff on the other hand... that's kind of like farming. Though the solution of "make it rarer" and "only server restart respawns items in the category of X and Y and Z" might be a bit too harsh. Or not? I think there is a longer respawn time for rarer items though? Or maybe that's just me imagining things. tl;dr It's a gray area. Duh.

Could you elaborate loot cycling for me? It seems I've missed something... :U

this this THIS And also the throwing system. What were they thinking? I know this is part my fault, but trying to run a way, turn around to shoot, then you press mouse one... oh crap I forgot the throw/flare/chemlight/grenade mode on. Shit shit shit now I'm dead.

I've usually used 1280x myself so I don't actually know why I'm using 1600x... :D My guess is that this must be a performance/hardware problem since the problem occurs in the big cities more often. I still don't get it how it runs pretty good both in and out of cities and suddenly starts getting fits. I'd like someone to answer this, this is the main thing that's puzzling me. I'll try that and after that the GPU overclocking, though I've read somewhere that ArmA doesn't like that though. How should I go on about it? Never done it before, so I'd appreciate a little crash course on the matter :P

I use the vram parameter in the exe and set it to 1024, those parameters mentioned above helped somewhat. Should I still set the vram to high in-game settings, even though people dvise to use default? I'm using 1600x900 resolution(s), though my monitor is 1650x1050. Could it be that my GPU can't handle the game? It should meet the minimum requirements of ArmA 2 and DayZ runs smoothly, until those seizures... :/

Sounds better than the bear trap in my opinion.

Mods... wink wink http://i1-games.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/Fallout-3-Mod-Killable-Children_1.jpg http://gamerfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Skyrim-Killing-Children-Mod.jpg I don't understand though, why can't you kill kids in a game? Is it because of some yankee soccermom hysteria association kind of thing...? Oh well I killed and blew up an army of 500 men and a couple of women... OH NO NOT THE KIDS! Double standard much?

Killing children? Don't worry, we're all here on the internet, we're all desensitized since day one =)

First I thought this was a joke, settle down, start a family, grow some potatoes, sell some cars... WAIT YOU ACTUALLY COULD DO IT Fix cars Sell them on forums ???? Profit

In my opinion, there should be some kind of identification... since we all look the same in-game. Sure you can change some facial features and race and glasses, but in the end we all look the same survivor with the baseball cap and a vest. Enable ID within X amount of meters within the people of the same group? Also it could make grouping up a little easier (duh). Direct communication should also have a larger range, if you get within 20 meters of someone they will be most likely (98%?) to shoot you.

I say 'yay' for this... though it's not the top priority in this mod. But if this does come through at some point, I want to play as a child character, name him Truffle Shuffle, make use of peoples' paternal/maternal instincts and then stab them in the back while listening to Skrillex's Kill Everybody

What, a gun fired doesn't sound miles away, break several sound barriers, have the power of a nuke and destroy everything in its way? LIES

(I guess this should be two-three different topics in suggestions and bug reports... oh well here it goes) Is it just me, or are the zombies spawning inside deer stands now since the last update? I doubt it is intended, since it would be silly they would be imprisoned inside sticks of wood, waiting for a hero came along and free them with aggro. Also, is it just me again, or is the only stuff inside deer stands empty cans? Or is this just unlucky me connecting right before restarts? Also, what would do you think of a stamina system in the mod? Now you can just run forever and a professional marathonist got nothing on you... isn't that a bit silly, since most of us couldn't run two miles under 12 minutes. In my opinion the running speed is too fast. Have you tried crouching? That's pretty tough on your thighs, isn't it? Now imagine running a whole 20 minutes, while crouching, most of it uphill. Can't do it? That's what I thought. *dodges tomatoes, carebears, and call of duty*

I did a little searching and didn't find a bugreport for this so far. Apologies if I missed it, and if it has been reported already. Anyway, here goes; What happened: Ammo replenishes when converted. In example, take M1911 mag with one bullet. Convert to revolver ammo and back, you got a full mag. I've had this happen since the first days of gameplay, but didn't realize it until yesterday. Works with any convertable ammo I've tried so far. E: I'd also like to add that when using Mk48 the magazine will refill when you log back in...? Where you were: Irrelevant. What you were doing: I don't think this is relevant, but, picking my nose. *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 & latest beta build (94444) *Server(s) you were on: RU7 or similar, but I think this is irrelevant. *Your system specs: Irrelevant. *Timeline of events before/after error: Irrelevant.

When you launch the beta updater you should get two prompts. Other one is "if you want to uninstall you have to delete the whole thing oh for the love of god are you sure you wanna do this" and the other is "Do you want to install the beta?". If I remember correct, I spammed the exe couple of times, clicked yes on the "install beta" prompt, closed it and tried it again until I got those two prompts. Then I clicked the "oh for the love of god are you sure" prompt and closed the other one.

Zombie Panic Source has this kind of system. You could get infected and eventually turn into a zombie... nice surprise for the other players. But I don't know if it would work in this game/mod that well? Yes, it is a big part of the fiction, but being likely of getting infected every time you encounter a zombie, would that be too frustrating? Broken bones were a pain (not anymore, since I always stock up 5 morphine lol. Call me paranoid) any they would break at all the slightest hits. Or, alternatively, here's some backstory for you; Chernarus got hit by a rabies-like illness. Most people devolved. Others (=players) are more resistant to falling ill. Problem solved?

Good for you! You didn't loot the poor, peaceful guy of his coke, right? That'd be pretty awful thing to do. One does not simply kill a man for his coke... (even though this game aims for it)

I think he meant that if you have 10 murders or more, the chance of spawning with a weapon is 0%. And if you don't kill anyone, survive for a long time in-game, you might get something neat for starters. But there's the issue of grievers farming the coast for a slight chance of something better than a makarov.

There will always be those who eat the whole bag of candy, all at once, and then complain how they got a tummy ache.

If I'm not wrong here I managed to do the zombie leg thing once? I'm not sure it's been a week or so when that happened. Or maybe it was a glitch. I agree 100% on the investigate instead of running thing. You'd need to start calculating quickly for a way out as they all start to shamble towards you lol. Now you can't just run through them like before, so it is going towards a good direction. MadMartha; I think there was a post by Rocket (or someone else from the devteam) where they mentioned that due ArmA engine limitations, they can't run inside. Don't know why. But I agree that they could be a bit quicker indoors, but not full speed. Right now, when the zombies are on the fullspeed-kenyan-turbo-drive-mode, they're a little tricky to shoot. Warping and teleporting and zigzaggin'... you know?

Zombies are totally fine (0 votes [0.00%]) Poor DayZ Team. Nobody likes their zombies :D I think there needs to be an increase in zombie numbers, and slightly more difficult. The new patch took a good direction to that, though. Now there is a point in playing night-time (though you have to assume everyone uses the gamma exploit... sucks). I voted zombies need to stumble & be harder, those kind of contradict each other... :D But I found the stumbling idea interesting and I'd like to hear peoples' ideas of it.

I like this idea. Right now you have no care in the world (ok, maybe a little) running through a (pitch black) forest... stepping on a ghillie zombie would be a surprise.

Are you sexist? Is that stuff in your signature meant to go into the sammich mentioned? How about beer? just doing some satire, have fun and hopefully you'll find a buddy to roam chernarus with :P

Well, if it wasn't fun there wouldn't be much players would there? A game is supposed to be a form of entertainment last time I checked. DayZ is not a "survival simulator" to prepare you for some sort of zombie apocalypse/fall of civilization. It has elements of realism (I've been here for a while and hate that word already) which adds challenge. Challenge is good and can be fun. Some take this mod a bit too seriously imo. e; well well well
