Has anyone seen a Smersh Backpack in .60?
oldfossil replied to Schlake's topic in General Discussion
Finding the bp is more common, pick it up (it takes one slot) and look for the vest later. I still haven't found one, but I'll do as stated above... just in case -
=) Little update about the Trumpet: passed from Worn to Damaged after a few other shots... may it could be due to the use of non pristine ammo? I suppose it could be so...

Reminder - need to know what server you were last on?
oldfossil replied to Mookie (original)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Maybe the history tab could be more useful if the records will be provided of a date and time field to be sorted by a "last access" criterion. -
I noticed the same issue, the Z's growling seems to come from too far, too close, left, right. Is extremely difficult for me to understand the Z position from the sound he makes. I suppose this could be a bug, the other sounds are more defined and clear and allows some speculation about direction and distance of the source.

Not bad at all, the first steps into the 0.60, lead me to make a nice city tour in Chernogorsk to enjoy the new architectural changes and to get some equipment to face the hostile environment. After a little gear up (the red brick houses are bringing very good items spawn) I got to Zelenogorsk and Mishkhino and made some firing exercise shooting down Z's with my brand new Trumpet with hunting scope. After a lot of shooting I saw the rifle's status turning from Pristine to Worn, I tried to make a weapon cleaning, but the status was finally set to worn. I haven't met anyone in that journey...

Are not a big problem, especially if you got some silent or low noise weapon. Yesterday morning I was going around Zeleno with a Trumpet (found one with an hunting scope already attached) and I decided to make some firing practice. I have shot down something like a 20 of those things, someone in small groups of 2 to 3, and only in some case I was endangered by Z's going too close to me. I repeated the exercise in Mishkhino camp shooting another 10 but wasting some more ammo because the higher protection of the military undead, all in all the global Z's behaviour seems too smart than the previous game version, quality has been improved for sure. I hope we are near to have a greater number of infected and roaming into all the territory, just to don't be bored during the long transfers from a town to another. PS: Trumpet is a very good weapon to chase Z's and don't get the aggro on you. The head shot is always a death sentence.

Hi, I agree about the very little influence of the actual Z's, but I saw an improvement in the effectiveness of their general behaviour and some better management of the clipping and line of sight issues that make the Z's capable to see through the walls. This could hopefuly mean an imminent change that will make the infected more dangerous and a serious problem to manage survival.
-
In my opinion playing on low populated servers would be more interesting with more Z's. At the beginning it is well worth to do to becoming familiar with the game's dynamics, then you will find more attractive some player's interaction, but consider that a lot of encounters will end in a fight to death.

Dear L.H.Enfield you just e-killed a skin's player...

D-90 until DayZ will be history for me

You'll be back again to become a part of the whole history. Take care and have a safe journey! -
What would you like to see instead of heli crash's in SA?
oldfossil replied to MitchP's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Random gunfight scene aftermath between non player carachters (but not not recognizable to any player as npc) with some loot to pick up. Bunker inside houses or complex cellar systems beneath buildings stuffed up with food and other supplies...and Z's Random small zombie groups feeding themselves with dead bodies. -
I totally agree with you mate, included the final request.

Cannibalism in Dayz Standalone

Yes! It seems to be it! Thanks a lot for your reply! -
Cannibalism in Dayz Standalone
oldfossil replied to me@kevinkraft.net's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I agree with you. Some time ago I played in a server where I killed a guy, when I was close to his body to get some gear the action menu showed to me the "Gut the body" option but I didn't did it that time, I buried the body indeed (there was the "Bury body" option too). Unfortunately I don't remember the server name, I'm almost sure that it was some private hive and maybe some other player have experienced the player gutting option... -
Admin Abuse and How to stop it.
oldfossil replied to TheShine299's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
if you are referring to the initial post: what has been stated by TheShine299 seems an admin abuse to me. Logging off and broadcasting the information to other players could be a legitimate initiative to discourage this kind of behaviour. -
Cannibalism in Dayz Standalone
oldfossil replied to me@kevinkraft.net's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I voted thinking about a famous quote of a notorious personality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVlkZVAw8Gc I ever dreamed about to make the final "SHTSHTSHTHT!"... So, please get inside the SA even some excellent italian wine and fava beans. -
Hi, I have had a problem with putting on the back my primary gun. I patched DayZ and ArmAII at the last one available at the moment, by PW6. The problem occurred inside the big cow shed at Nizhnoye. I picked a DB shotgun in the main room, then I went inside the small side room and I found a Machete, so before to pick it up i tried to put the shotgun on my back, but the inventory side button to perform this action was not available, so I dropped the shotgun to get the machete. When I held it in hand the inventory button to put it on the back was active, but the shotgun disappeared so I lost it. I don't know if this is a problem related with the cowshed building or not. Many thanks for your valuable job.

I got stuck at the loading step with very slow countdown but without the initializing message. Is there some kinship between these two issues?
-
This new version is really amazing, HUD & inventory system included. I want to report an issue happened to me after the character passed out: white permanent screen limbo, ESC key not working, ArmAII terminated by windows (Vista64). I tried to join another server but I suffered a very long wait time so I decided to stop playing last night. Z's are better than before, the only thing I don't like is the total lack of any attack animation that makes them too unearthly when they hits you. Anyway you have done an awesome job. Thanks for all guys!

I found it recently twice in less than an hour of playing, from that moment I: killed a guy outside the Cherno W firestationlooted a plenty of good equipment from his bodygot Antibioticsfound an old Moto not totally crappylet's see what will wait for me the next time...
-
I can't understand the "problem" issued by the release date. You haven't payed anything to play the mod (excepted for the basic game outfit of course) which moreover is constantly updated, so keep playing the mod and taste the waiting until the SA will be out (I don't believe it will happen before the end of the year, maybe close to it). Keep your souls quiet your guns cocked & planty of beans in your backpack. ...and stay away from unknown players...

So I just killed 2 bandit snipers killing fresh spawns in Elektro

Thanks a lot to you Mr President for this useful grammar lesson. I have learned some more about english language. I hope to learn even more in the future about it. -

oldfossil replied to TheWizard14's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Nice story! -
Hi, sometimes I play there, but I don't know how to make up buildings or other things. In the changelog website section there's some indication about it, maybe the action menu changes depending upon your location...a couple of days ago I buried a well equipped guy after killing him outside the Chernogorsk western firestation, this is the only feature I experienced other than the self-blood bagging.
