Finding friends on the same server
masacrualex replied to mawdog's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Not yet, but you can like keep in touch with him, look for signs though all are in cyrillic so it's hard :P but try using bridges, docs, train tracks as key points. I met some that way. Hard though but possible. That's actually a nice idea with the "squad" thing, at least to give friends an easier way to meet, but then again it might not. -
List of servers with nameplates on?
masacrualex replied to Intigo's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I actually support name tags. It's server based, it's fine that way. No just no, why'd you request that? I was once hanging with like 3 people we couldn't see eachothers names, the chat was spammy, try and make sense of what's going on. This way if I see a guy around I type his name and ask if friendly, otherwise going like "GUY in field u friendly" might get me no answer. Why do some believe having name tags on is so wrong but being able to chat with everyone is not. just lulz. -
yeah noticed as well now we can surf like bawses!

3rd Person View, why I support it, and why it should stay in game
masacrualex replied to tearran's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Whatever dude, stick to 1st person servers. Too bad there'll always be 3rd person in the core game, you'll just have to play on those "hardcore" servers. Weeee. Win Win. OH the irony... "amateur" well are you aware you can actually disable head bob? Also are you aware numpads also work for looking around? Not everybody affords to spend an hour to walk thru woods, so sprinting is a must. -

3rd Person View, why I support it, and why it should stay in game
masacrualex replied to tearran's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
NO way dude, there's no such thing. Third person belongs to the game. If someone can go in third person, you can go as well, use it or freaking quit. If you get killed you'll probably blame it on 3rd person. It's not like x can use 3rd person and you cannot. How about you play on 1st person servers like I said before to the other guy. Don't request shit just because you got a different view. Just play on 1st person servers. I noticed you're also against the mod getting new features and new stuff in it, now I see you're also against this. This is meant to be a fun game. The arma 2 engine has lots of issues as it is. -

I cannot believe what I just read. I bet if I list the games I like here you'll say they all suck probably. Seriously if you think adding NEW things to a mod in alpha(which evolves) is a bad thing then you got issues lol. Also I never went around request , I only said they should add more stuff and everyone agrees. You are either a console guy or new to gaming. You hate change but then again you love DayZmod? How's that? It's a change to arma 2. Shouldn't you hate it? -
3rd Person View, why I support it, and why it should stay in game
masacrualex replied to tearran's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
^ Let's see : 1) I didn't buy Arma 2 for DayZmod. 2) I got this since a long time and I know of Arma since a long ass time. 3) I don't think you've ever played Arma 2 with acre on a realism server. When you got your squad near you chatting, you know who's saying what, you know where it's coming from thus coordonation and realism all together, you know what's going on. I just didn't mention ACE. 3,5) Sometimes zombies run in zig zag or just jump around real quick by running frustrating. Being in first person having to turn around and run and so on is frustrating once again. 4) This is like the most important one. Why remove high grass from the game, JUST because SOME people want 3rd person REMOVED from the core game? Why can't you and your kind play on HARDCORE servers and enjoy it in 1st person only? WHY why why? Why do you want everyone to have to play in 1st person just because that's how you like it when you can obviously play on 1st pers servers? That's selfish and just because of that I shouldn't bother replaying to you. 5) Third person view is not for noobs. It is much more pleasant when you run for 30 minutes to be in third person and look around than be stuck in 1st person. In real life you can peak over a wall without being spotted at all, I see third person view when hiding as a realistic usage of such things you cannot do in the game itself. 6) Play on 1st person servers, don't request it off from the core mod. Also check your logic dude, why would I have to pay over 100 euro, over 100 freaking euro to play DayZ? Just because some idiots want 3rd person removed from the core mode (I don't know why I sweat it, it won't happen) when there's servers who've disabled 3rd person view. What track ir does it give you a better way to look around you, I can use numpads just fine for that. TrackIR it's best used when you play with a squad and realisticly and not in a zombie apocalypse for various reasons. -

masacrualex replied to meshcarver's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
^ See? That's your opinion, but the activity of Tf2 and people spending $$ in it, believe otherwise, plus myself, I still play that. Same with DayZ. Tell me, why not add new features? New items? New things. That enhances the experience and keeps players longer. It's also in alpha for a reason, else it'd be called beta releasing next month. The devs obviously got plans to extend the mod further,. Change has nothing to do with disabling PVP or disabling character death. That'll be there 4ever I assume since it's one of the core things of the mod. Wasteland. -
A question about infected speeds
masacrualex replied to rocket's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I doubt they'll be slowed down. -ZOmbies run outside - Zombies walk inside buildings and so on, so that's your key to outrun em unless you are out of bullets. Sometimes it's frustrating, I had like 8 zombies on me, ran in a house, used the back door, ran away from the house, they left the house and in like 10 seconds they reached me again. Maybe if you get chased into the woods they should be slowed down some how because of all the trees, they bump into them or stuff. -

masacrualex replied to meshcarver's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Are you serious? Why NOTHING should be added? How long do you think people will play if nothing is added? More items, more features, are needed and lots of other things to keep the player base and the game interesting. I never heard of a game losing from adding... look at Team Fortress 2, if you follow the game from 2007 to today, you'll see how much it got. You probably just got used to the alpha as it is, with the items and all that, you are afraid of change. -
Every game has this topic: Females?
masacrualex replied to codeine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Pretty much there's no female characters in any Arma game, playable ones. It's a war simulator and usually it's all about male soldiers. Unless they add them somehow, it'll just turn into lots of people pretending to be girls, fooling others for items, killing them, and so on. That's just how it'll work hurr. In a survival game, a male is most likely going to wanna team up with a "female" and there could get tricky. -
3rd Person View, why I support it, and why it should stay in game
masacrualex replied to tearran's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ok first of all when I said FPS I meant, FRAMES PER SECOND. Second of all, are you SERIOUS? Are you seriously telling me to buy a TRACK IR, just because some people can't take 3rd person view? When there's servers who can disable it and be "Hardcore"? People who request 3rd person view to be disabled from the dev's as from the mod, are nothing but selfish idiots. Your points are flawed. I disabled head bob, but being 1st person in this game for a long time and running for so long it's frustrating. You go ahead and play on a "hardcore" server, I've seen some and enjoy your time in 1st person view. Arma 2 =/= Bf3, from the way things look to the way things feel, so it's different spending 2 hours in Bf3 and 2 hours in arma 2 in first pers view. Unless you play with ACRE and on some realism arma 2 server, 1st person only is a must, but not in this. I love first person and 3rd person, they go well together in Dayzmod. I always go 1st pers when I shoot or roam around some areas of the cities. Like someone said, it's annoying how if you go prone in the grass you can't remove some grass blades in front of you with your hand without having to move around. Also Il-2 1946 is one of my favorite games, dog fighting simulator, I didn't buy Track IR for that, I doubt i'd buy for arma. I got numpads. -
Food and water being used offline
masacrualex replied to Jeff (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
lol at the guy not playing the game anymore because of this... are you serious? Just play it as it is, you quit for a day, log back next day, have food and water on you, drink, eat it. All fixed within 3 secs. I find it exaggerated that some quit cuz of this. It is not game breaking. I logged in, water was flashing, I had enuff time to run to this town that was like a few mins walk, fight zombies and loot a shop fast, finding water. -
3rd Person View, why I support it, and why it should stay in game
masacrualex replied to tearran's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Having third person disabled would be so bad. Arma is one of the only game that running makes me sick. Let me explain. In this mod, you have to run a lot, and I mean it. There's various areas that lower your fps like cities, maybe some woods and so on, which I know that most of us don't have a cap of 40 fps non-stop or 60. My point is, running in arma 2 in first person is a pain, not only that it's frustrating to see the surroundings as you do so, compared to real life running. The worst part is when you are in an area with lower fps like a city and so on and you gotta run, that camera shakiness turns to hell making it even more frustrating. 3rd person view is a must when you travel.
