i think since rocket himself has admited that he cant stop the hackers private servers are the only way this mod can survive and moding i think is the way it can thrive but so far i havent heard much about positive moding just hackers adding new weapons for themselfs so can some people post any info they have on moding can people who own private servers mod things or is there something to stop them from doing so and if not have you seen any servers that have moded some things a example i can think of is that rocket was playing in a live stream a couple of days ago and he was mass killed with the whole server but then everyone came back to life he said some server owners have made it to if you die from a hacker you come back to life with all your gear a easy mod would be adding new guns that can spawn right now there are dozans of guns from arma 2 and its dlc's that rocket hasent used that could be ported to this game and another question i have is what other maps are there in arma 2 i have read about lingor island but from what i can tell its a fan made map it wasent ported form arma 2 so apart from chernarus and lingor island what other maps could be used for dayz another thing is im just wondering what things have you seen in private servers have people made colonies more often for example allso finaly here is my wishlist for things i would like in a moded version of dayz on if the official version more guns being added to the game the pdw should be silenced all the pistols and the 9mm smg's and the shotguns should do more damage the .50 weapons should take up your whole backpack and you can only fire them in prone zombies only dieing from explosions and headshots zombies do much more damage but they break your legs and knock you uncouncious much less often being able to open the inventory whilst runing like in lingor island melee weapons having there own slot customizable charecter and clothing

yeah its a bit retarded the pdw has a silencer but for some reason it dosent work

currently i dont have dayz but i have watched about 12hours of gameplay video and read everything on the wiki and from what i have seen i think this would be my main setup lone sneaky survivor/bandit this would probabley be my play style you avoid the cities you mainly stay north you play on servers with few people and you play at night time you shoot players on sight as they would likely do the same to you and you need more gear your allways very cautious scoping a area out looking for zombie bodies to tell if anyone has been there recently you allso set up 3 camps each surounded by booby traps and each with a couple of Vehicles secondary weapon M9 SD its the the only silenced pistol in the game as with all guns it one hit kills zombies with a headshot and that would be its main use a anti zombie weapon primary weapon L85A2 AWS its the only weapon in the game that has thermal vision wich allows you to spot any zombie or player even if they are wearing a guille suit instantly when seen through the scope unlike night vision the scope works just as well during the day as it does at night though offcourse if you play at night then most other players wount see you and zombies will detect you less easyly its allso likely the most acurate full auto assault rifle in game it uses a fairly comman ammo type 5.56x45mm wich you would find on many other veteran players you kill this would mainly be a player/bandit killing/defence weapon what about you what is your current gun setup or your dream setup

go down for TL;DR ok so right now the game is kind of shit it seams no bugs have been fixed since the mod was released just a slow build up of new ones now with artifacts and spawning on the coast whenever you join sometimes even without any gear and ofcourse the old ones like breaking your legs for doing pritty much anything other than standing still and ontop of that the hackers wich are the biggest threat most people probabley die at the hands of these pathetic sad fucks more than from anything else and it as of now there isent rearly any way to stop it and rocket dosent seem to be doing anything about all of this and he dosent seem to want the help of the comunity when it comes to adding new features or fixing bugs or tackling hacks allthough some people have been moding/hacking the game themselfs in some positive ways like the addition of lingor island http://www.dayzwiki....i/Lingor_Island and the addition of new weapons being added to the game though so far only d bags seem to do this just to give themselfs a advantage and there is the fairly recent edition of private serves where people have full control over the server TL;DR the game sucks right now rocket is useless maybe we should take things into are own hands it would be cool if some people out there found a way to stop hacking maybe they make a few private servers each on there own seperate hive and they restrict who can join them and if there is a mass kill hack used the person is banned and the players given back there items they could allso fix some of the damn bugs and add allot of new weapons/items into the game right now dayz is very stale compared to what it once was the introducting of moding could breath life back into it imagine a dayz with 100s of diferent weapons where most of the bugs are actualy fixed where hacking is a none issue where people can create there own charecter models/clothes whre ghosting and altf4ing isent a issue where people can actualy build bases/forts in the knolage that it wount be nuked where zombies only die by explosions and headshots where zombies are slow but completly relentless and abel to kill you much more easyly with more enterable buldings and a extended map or even seperate ones like in lingor island with added features like weapons degrading with a crafting system similar to fallout crafting ammo food meds etc i think that would just be god damn amazing and i dont think its a fairy tale ether i dont see why this cant be done can you imagine a dayz developed by not one person but 1000s of people i realise after re reading this that my post kind of comes of a bit dickish toward rocket i respect what he has done i could never manage what he has done but i think he has handeled allot of things in this game porely and i think the comunity could improve dayz significantly

bump

cool someone wana post a vid of the diferent colors

well thats kinda boring it would be cool if people started making private servers where loads of new guns spawned there are quite allot of guns in arma 2 that for some reason wherent added to the game that could easyly be ported over plus there are other mods where guns could be ported over someone posted that private servers used to be black listed what does that mean exactly

have you seen any hives that have changed things around like adding new weapons

yea rocket has talked about all his grand plans for the stand alone but the mod seams to be more or less abandoned and im not here to whine or discuss about rocket not having all these features i just want to talk about how awsome moding would be and how i think it could save this mod from dieing because if it stays as it is now the mod will be dead within a few months

this might sound like a stupid question but i am not a pc gamer i have never played a pc first person shooter and im wondering how the controls work do you use arrows to move your charecter or is it w a s d isent it awkawrd to use the buttons comapred to lets say an anaolg stick or am i missing something because using the arrow buttons or wasd to move your ehcarecter to me would feel incredibly awkward you trying to aim with just those buttons

all hail the pc master race /sarcasm seriously though you have issues and its people like you who discorage alot of people into geting into pc gaming

many people have been saying that dayz has to many controls and that the stand alone couldent work on consols but i dont see why here is a posible control mapping (some of these controls i made up for example a melee button wich i think the game could use) allso some people have flamed my topic saying dayz will never come to console well rocket has actualy said that if there is a profit in it he will port the dayz standalone to consoles triangle switch from first to third person square reload x jump circle action button (grab item open door etc) top arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to make your charecter stand up more (what i mean by this is that if your standing/crouching behind cover and the cover is a bit to small or tall then you use the up or down button to increase or decrease his/her height to make sure your leaving as little of your body out of cover as possible left arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to lean left right arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to lean right bottom arrow tap to use item e.g switch nvg's on or of or use a bandage hold to make your charecter crouch down more (what i mean by this is that if your standing/crouching behind cover and the cover is a bit to small or tall then you use the up or down button to increase or decrease his/her height to make sure your leaving as little of your body out of cover as possible L1 tap to change equiped grenade hold to cook and release to throw grenade R1 use weapons secondary ability e.g the g17s flashlight the m203 on the m4 and it could be used to hold your breath whilst using a sniper rifle L2 hold down to aim R2 hold down/tap to shoot L3 use the analog to move hold down to go crouch go prone etc R3 use the analog to aim press to melee attack select inventory start standard start menu im pritty sure thats just about everything and more you could add well i guess you could allso add in a sprint button but i dont rearly see why they even add a sprint button to these games and the controls might be a little geting used to but i think it would work out fine im not sure about the arrow controls they might be a bit awkward if not done right allso i meant for the title to say why not who is there any way to change it?

they arent missed out you can map them to the arrow buttons for example nvg top arrow bandage left range finder right gps and the hatchet can be equiped as a melee weapon not a tool though it would still have the same uses and to view the map you could just press select and switch over to the map like in most games jumping is allways a main button on console you do know that ps3 is six years old not 10 right

you do know right that rocket has anounced that he will port the stand alone to console if he sees a profit in it

yeah you totaly dont come of at all like a 23 year old virgin basement dweller that lives with his parents

you should re post this topic since the weapons where nerfed the revolver and the 1911 are useless so i voted pdw as its the best against other players and your more likely to die from another player than a zombie

it has a use its good for over watch and destroying vehicles and killing enemy snipers in every fps ever someone has to bitch moan and cry over the sniper rifles but its not going to change anything no modern fps dosent have a sniper rifle plus those players probabley wouldent last long sure if they saw you try to shoot them they would alt4 like a badass mother fucker but any other snipers could easyly kill them with one shot and they wouldent see it coming

i came here to talk about hacking but maniakmike beat me to it anyway the majority of deaths in dayz now are from hackers not legit deaths though from what i can ehar you can hack both ps3 and xbox 360 but you cant play multiplayer on ps3 if its hacked plus there is the fact that if dayz sells lets say 2 million copies on pc it might sell 5 on the other console or maybe even more that amount of money could seriously help development and improve the pc version significantly

no they dont and as long as the aiming sensitivity is good then i can easyly and very quickly aim at any target bad in bad company 2 i have the sensitivity at max and i can easyly and very fast get my sights on any target just as fast as if i was on pc if not faster

whenever i hear this all i can do is face palm the only games i can think of that have auto aim are the cod games and gta4 the rest dont look onto target when you aim or any other type of bs like that and bad company 2 had the same thing with the m com stations it was anoying yes but not game breaking and it wasent the fault of the console just bad game design they could have maped x for example at a mcom you need to be abel to reload and switch weapons but you dont need to jump

i dont see how that sentence makes the slightest bit of sense its true that a couple of ps3 games are awfull when it comes to aiming when you move the analog stick it ether dosent move at all or far to much but thats just down to shity game design mos fps have great controls and its easy to quiclky aim at a target

yeah you can do that but it costs twice as much both of you need a pc both need the same game having the option to invite a friend around and play split screen is great i have heard you can hook up a pc to a tv but i havent heard of anyone in perticuler who has done it but there is still the downside that you cant check on online guides or just serfe the web whilst your playing on your pc wow your a snoby d bag arent you infact i have about £2600 enough to buy any gaming pc i want but that being said im not sure if i want to if i have to put up with elitest assholes like you

right now setting up a base is pointless if your part of a clan of lets say 10/20 people at most you could manage 1 or two guys keeping on lookout 24/7 and it would be pointless any small group or even 1 player could take the camp i sugest npc guards to be added to the game you could have them follow you in wich case they act as body guards or you could tell them to defend a area for example your base you would have to give them guns ammo food water equpment etc im not sure how you could get them maybe you could randomly bump into them like other survivors and recruit them you could allso allow other people to control them for example your clan leader and if you die he gets to control them untill you come back maybe they could allso have a exp type system the more kills they get vs zombies and humans the more acurate they are the faster they zero in on a target etc it would maybe mean that people would be more carefull with them as they can and will die maybe with the future addition of dogs you could treat them like human guards have them follow you around guard a base etc

you rearly came of as a selfish d bag as far as i know the majority of video gamers dont play on pc you would like all those people to just play on horible zombie games like resident evil dead rising or cod's zombies mode shame on you the fact of the matter is that to get a high end pc that plays all current games on max setting you need to spend about £1000 and every two years you have to upgrade it and spend what about £100-200 plus you cant play split screen co op on pc and you get to play you game on just a tiny computer screen instead of a 42 inch plasma and with console gaming you can stretch out and relax whilst playing a game on your bed or sofa but you cant rearly do that whilst pc gaming plus to be a pc gamer you have to be a nerd to undertsnad all that pc jargon and to know how to replace parts how to fix it when its not working etc but to play ps3 games all i had to do was spend £134 on a brand new 320gb ps3 set up a psn acount and thats it i dident have to build it i dident have to spend £1000 i wount have to upgrade it every year or so and i dont have to worry if my ps3 can properly run the game and i dont have to awkwardly sit at a desk playing games on small computer screen i would love if dayz what borught to console it would be a dream come true and it would be a smart move on the developers part opening up a large market like that
