Ok, so all that seems to happen in this patch...
ParaB replied to Shiva_O's topic in General Discussion
Loots is abundant once you leave the coast. Guns, ammo, food, more stuff than I can carry. It's just that without Zs there is still no real point in playing DayZ. -
Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
ParaB replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
Which is kind of a problem in a zombie-themed survival game. I played for 2-3 hours today but without Zs the game has little appeal to me. Back in 6 months I guess. -
No, thanks. I don't want helicopters, tanks, jets, submarines or sharks with laser beams on their heads in my Z apocalypse game. This ain't ArmA.
-
For me the decision to KoS or not on an AF depends on whether you're armed or not. Against an armed stranger in such a high-risk area I take no chances.
-
You'll also see a "XXX is losing connection" message. I'm not a KoS player. But I kill every combat logger and server hopper I encounter. No sympathy for cheaters from me.

One other person on the server and he killed me
ParaB replied to tigersrule777's topic in General Discussion
I once met up with a couple of buddies on a basically empty server. We were 5 guys. In the middle of nowhere we suddenly ran into a 4-man group and face-shooting ensued. Result was 7 dead, 2 wounded. Total server population at that time: 9. -
Forced headbob for the sake of realism?
ParaB replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
No. If I were forced to play with that silly head-bobbin on I'd stop using 1st-person view and playing on hardcore servers. -
Same here. Started a char on a hardcore server a couple of days ago and much prefer the overall gameplay and interaction compared to regular servers.

Do you leave your morality at the door?
ParaB replied to tamingatche91's topic in General Discussion
I think it says a lot about you that you actually believe "many people" would do this. -
Do you leave your morality at the door?
ParaB replied to tamingatche91's topic in General Discussion
I'm a boyscout at heart. :( I simply can't act evil in a computer game. Or, to be more precise, I can't enjoy acting evil in a computer game. Not even in RPGs where only NPCs are involved. Sad, I know. Sometimes I get killed for being "too nice". I don't care though. I simply won't let other players dictate a play style to me I don't enjoy. -
I'm currently using SKS+PU as main and a sawed-off shotgun when in buildings. Works very well for me. Not having to go to military installations to replenish ammo greatly improves survivability.

The most underrated City on the Map
ParaB replied to Gandalf the White (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Svetlojarsk ist good, but as others have already pointed out performance is pretty bad there. I like doing runs in the "golden triangle", Berezino->Krasnostav->NEAF->Svetlojarsk but currently due to the spawns all being on the E coast the NE isn't as quite and peaceful as it once was. -
Devs, forget features, just focus on stability & release date.
ParaB replied to luzarius's topic in General Discussion
I love it when people who obviously have absolutely no idea about software development post stuff like "...why don't you just...". :rolleyes: -
I understand the problem that a suicide option might be abused for cherry-picking spawn points. But I'm sure this could be circumvented by some kind of timer. E.g. suicide is disabled for the first 30 minutes of a char's life. Once we'll see a more polished build with less bugs I'd have no problems getting rid off the suicide option again. But with the current alpha stage a suicide option is IMO an absolute must. Oh, and don't start a discussion about "realism". I mean how often do you break your legs while walking in a house, or climbing a ladder? ;)
-
Please, please, please, with sugar on top... ...give us the option to suicide or respawn, at least while the game is still in a rather buggy alpha version. I was just playing on a hardcore server. New char, made my way North. Suddenly, while standing inside a building my car fell over. No Z nearby, no shot heard, I'm not bleeding. Just my legs somehow got broken. While walking into a table. Now I'm in the middle of nowhere, with broken legs. No Zs around to kill me, no players. No high building to jump down from. All buildings nearby are, of course, already looted. This sucks.
