Just want to see community preference on 1st/ 3rd person servers quickly.
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to AP_Norris's topic in General Discussion
The aiming reticule is a 100x worse than 3rd person. Make people aim. I won't be playing 1st person view. I love the realism, but I like seeing my character and enjoy playing a video game. I don't need to trick myself into thinking it is real. Been there done that. -
Did he really climb Everest? I had no idea. I am sure he will come back and implement some type of frost bite system now lol. If we get 100 Yes votes I give out 1 free Mountain Dew :thumbsup: Keep this going.

I posted a pic of it this morning in the gallery :thumbsup:

How many hours have you put in to DayZ SA?
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to tacticalbanana's topic in General Discussion
66 as of last night. Don't tell my wife. -
Why? The patch didn't do much to change this. Bolota and Cherno for sure. I like Elektro the best for various reason. I tend to walk around the streets there hoping to meet people. I do have some great random encounters there. I would go to Cherno to find people but the KOS/Not KOS ratio there is a bit high (80% KOS imo). In Elektro it is about 50/50 so makes it more fun. Plus it is more rare to see groups in Elektro.

Need Medical Assistance in DayZ SA ? Find Your medic here!
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to TMWMarijke's topic in General Discussion
I don't think you can use the spray for your wounds, just the alcohol. :thumbsup: Generally if you get hit and are still "healthy" with the tag but you are groaning that probably means you got infected from the zombie. Use the alcohol to clean the wound. You will get the sick tag for a while, then it will clear up and you will be 100% -
Lack of diversity with Loot
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to hannibaldaplaya's topic in General Discussion
There will be more medical items, more cooking items, more hunting items and just more ITEMS in general added to the game. Test the things in the game to make sure they work, if they don't then report them. As time goes on and more items are added it will add diversity to every loot spot. I do wish the firehouse had different items. Not sure why I am finding all these guns in the fire house but NEVER have I found a fire axe in there lol. Fire axes, med kits, food, canteens, clothes that is what should be in there, less guns. -
Rolling Update Rev. 0.30.113925 M4 Gone?
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to Kit - Alpha Six's topic in General Discussion
I have found 4 M4s this morning on one stroll through Balota. They are their. -
It is great when you ask for feedback from us, thanks. Is there a plan that will make shotguns more "usable"? Not that they don't work, but just that in every game the shotgun is pretty worthless. I think slugs that do high damage would be great no matter which shotgun gets chosen.

Found the revolver. Thank you guys for the patch :thumbsup:

Nice. I have not played Arma 3, but mods I have played in other games (BF2 one of the mods off the top of my head) had things like this. It also had suppressive fire that would blur your screen, but I am not a fan of that for this game. I just want more effects for when people get shot.

Everyone is suffocating! Gas masks issue.
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to combatcomm1's topic in General Discussion
Not the M50 (newest model issued by US Mil). :thumbsup: -
Everyone is suffocating! Gas masks issue.
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to combatcomm1's topic in General Discussion
It depends which model gas mask you have. The M50 is the only one that I know of that you can't breath if you don't have filters on. You also can't cover the filter to check your seal like the other models. So to check the seal I take the filters off lol. It is a much better mask though overall. Not sure which mask is in game, haven't paid that much attention I guess. -
How to authentically strike the right balance of PvP in DayZ SA.
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to Zeds_Undead_baby's topic in General Discussion
I picked the last one. Not because I want/need it to effect pvp at all, but I just like that stuff. More zombies are 100% coming, already been said. These are just place holders. Meds do require teamwork and is a great system that will only improve with more biological threats that are also 100% coming (remember all water is clean right now). Then hopefully they nail this crafting system and make a bunch of things craft-able and some what difficult to get all the parts for (at least for larger projects). -
Ahh another thing I will never do. Day 1 and 2 I spent running around with that dam helmet on. Won't do it again.
-
Wow 98% yes votes :D Where you at Rocket? Make it happen. (I know he has more pressing needs on the table right now ;) )
-
That is the great thing about this game though, you don't need a system to accomplish this. You want a back story? Write one and go with it. As you can see from my sig I have my own back story. I am a cop now trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. As such I am not building cars, flying helicopters or killing people with an axe. I am out there helping people as best I can because that goes with my back story. Just do it and don't worry about having a system to tell you that your character has anger issues, a morphine addiction and was a lumberjack. :thumbsup:
-
Lucky for you guys I can turn a helicopter on. I flew on them for 5 years. Unlucky for you I got 30 minutes of "stick" time and that shit is REALLY hard to do. Sure you can learn, but will you die first? I am fairly certain I could take off, but I am just as certain I would crash 10 seconds later. Planes are much easier to fly than helicopters. To the OP. Player skills should stay player skills. If I can shoot better than you and fly better then oh well I am better.
-
If I have my info right you have to join a specific server after you enable it. :thumbsup:
-
Solid list. I wonder if they will activate cooking with the next patch as well. I can get and do everything up to the point I would add water and rice. I want the revolver, but don't want to be 'Rick' from Walking Dead. I hope hunting is soon, but don't think it will be this soon.

Just curious if you think 'they', you, we will be starting another White List of medics again? Was a great idea. -
Agressive wildlife [Official wildlife topic]
DevilDog (DayZ) replied to lowkey's topic in General Discussion
I love the wild dogs idea, always have. I know he has talked about adding dogs in the past so that would be cool. Wild animals rarely attack humans, but if you had a pet dog they would attack the shit out of your dog. Two things with dogs. Packs of strays- Would be cool to have a few packs of dogs around. Smaller packs in smaller cities, then the larger cites maybe 2-3 larger packs. The industrial districts would be perfect for this. I would also make it so they don't attack people unless A) they are sprinting B) acting aggressive toward the dogs or C) get too close to their den. The running thing is key because you can outsprint a bunch of zombies, but that might attract a pack of dogs that you can't outrun. Home dogs- I always think inside is too safe. At least a few buildings should have a dog that was left behind. Would make searching those apartments a bit more hairy. -

DevilDog (DayZ) replied to TMWMarijke's topic in General Discussion
It is not. Any medic can come in here to help people and any person can come in here and get help. This is not different then the thread for the mod just like this. Does your claim play as medics and go heal people? If so then post about them here for everyone to see. :thumbsup: -
Most guys I know that wore guillies in real world used local vegetation to enhance the suit. If I have time to look through my photos I had a Sgt in iraq get bored one day and make a guillie out of burlap sacks and that thing was amazing, but that was a brown desert. Anyway, I say why not, the more craftable stuff the better. After getting all this new clothing though I can say 100% I will never use a guillie in DayZ again.
