okami (DayZ)

I`m not sure if we are talking about the same thing, sorry if i misunderstand something, english is not my first language. I mentioned the coast spawn because the last time i suffered it where when i cancelled DayZ while loading anywhere in the time between clicking Ok on the server menu and spawning in my character. I dont think this will be solved by my suggestion, but maybe you would not have to cancel so often, just watch a movie or 2 while it loads ;) Yes my girlfriend plays sometimes and sits next to me, at the point where you can see "setup completed" and see your eat drink etc stats in the right corner your ingame and vulnerable. And you are standing, even if you spawn in prone you will stand ingame for a few seconds before you lay down. And you can be shot while standing. All tested ;)

From my experience in the last few days i think hackers on the private hives just use less obvious hacks but they are still there, in the same number as on the public servers. All they do is stop teleporting people into the air or to some thunderdome deathmatch areas but i found enough people using godmode, weapon hacks (AS50 TWS), teleporting aso. Everything which does not annoy enough people for most admins to react. And i would like to comment to the OP also, i think its a valid point he is arguing about and its way to easy to say its just qq. I dont have a clan to play dayz with (i know some of you might not understand this but when you start working, own a house etc its hard enough to find time to play alone, its almost impossible to find time when you and your friends can play together...) and for a solo player without the ability to save something permanently its almost impossible to repair and own a car. This is something which should be adressed and possible solutions should be discussed. I can not see any senseless qq here.

First of all, enjoy this time! I had fun with the game after I figured out where to find loot easily and how to get rid of zombies, and i am still having fun with this deathmatch / trust thingie the game has become. But I will never forget the night where i started playing and ran through the woods in the rain, without any orientation, whithout a weapon and scared as shit. My advice is just find it out by yourself, this is one of the best parts of the game. Yes it is frustrating at times but it will prepare you for all the frustration that will follow ;) edit: But let me give you one more advice, try the "farms" first, the buildings are easy for beginners (2 entrances) and bit outside the cities so not so many zombies and players there. If you look at the dayzdb map they are green. But as I said, i would recommend trying it out by yourself.

You may have put a lot of work into this but it would turn DayZ into something most people including me dont want it to be. Its total sandbox and thats good. So nope from me.

I have been to 4 or 5 heli crash sides now and i never found anything except one FN FAL for which i had to crouch halfway into the pilot cockpit and somehow glitched to a place where the FN FAL was lying. I have searched every crash site mousewheeling like a maniac 3 or 4 times around the whole heli, crouched, proned and standing, in 1st and 3rd person. They all where in the middle of nowhere with military zombies spawning fresh in a a circle around the copter. I think sometimes they just spawn without any loot.

My brain instantly started to replay Mr Vain. God, these 90s. Sorry world for Eurodance. I know what I want and I want it now! I want you 'cause I'm Mr. Vain

Sooo, does this mean that you have a mobile with more CPU und GPU power than your computer? Pro tip, sell your mobile and buy a new computer.

Sniping is not PVP. Sniping is Player vs a bullet out of nowhere. Dont pretend you can be cautious enough to be safe from every possible sniper point in cherno or elektro. I once was in Elktro where a group of snipers were spread all over the city, north of the NE firestation, on Dobry, and on a roof in the south of the city. It was impossible to do anything without a counter sniper. Thats what it should be. Do you think in a real world zombie scenario people would grab a ghillie, lie in a bush with an AS50 and snipe people from hundreds of metres away without even looting them? There would be bandits, there would be lonely scavengers, maybe there would even be groups of maniacs driving though the towns to kill people for fun by shooting them face to face. But really, people with high powered sniper rifles to wipe out the rest of civilization? I doubt it. I had a lot of stuff now ingame but the one time i found an AS50 i just let it there because its just a pussy style to play this game.

Wow that looked like one of the creatures from that japanese weirdo movies I used to watch. Awesome! What did he do there, seriously?

signed! And i surely cant sleep tonight after watching these pictures closely.

Thats the finest piece of intellectual arguments ive found in years. You must be a wise man where you come from, adored by many.

I did never disagree to that. I (and many others here) did just argue that rocket maybe focusing on the wrong things at the moment which could cause dayz user numbers to go down significantly (which they do already) which will lead to less money for him which will lead to a bad product for us all. If you would have read my threads you would have found out that im a total fanboy, i will buy the standalone anyway. Many others may not because they try out the mod and find out its broken and tell their friends about it. All these players may be lost for the community. Thats shit.

I was pretty sure this thread was about fixing major issues like not being able to see anything at military areas or loosing hours of playtime to a tent but since you are talking about us claiming for nonsense and changing the gameplay im sure im wrong.

Is there any chance to argue without calling everyone a moron, dumbass, whiner or whatnot? Seriously, there are some postings in here with nothing but arguments and responses to them only getting personal and offensive. I know, its the internet where everyone can pretend to be a badass mofo, but can we please keep this out of this otherwise intelligent and maybe even constructive thread? Read the posts, calm down and THEN post your opinion. This thread is not about fanboys, its not about whiners, its not about hating dayz. Its about dayz players who fear this mod will not become what it deserves to become, a great, long living game with a big community supporting it.

Though for me personally tents are not the biggest issue at this time (for me its artefacts and hackers), I can totally agree to the root cause of the OPs anger. In my opinion its rocktes prioritization. Lets face it, at this state EVERYONE interested in a hardcore zombie-survival pvp deathmatch thingie owns a copy of DayZ. Maybe there is a small amount of potential customers which have only seen lets plays and wait till its beta but i doubt there are many. So, as much as "this is an aplha, live with it" is true, we the alpha players will be the majority of the standalone buyers and players. Loosign a huge amount of them now will probably lead to loosing a huge amount of potential buyers. I will buy it, i´m a total dayz fanboy. I own 2 copies, a map of chernarus and just ordered Mountain Dew to drink this magic potion myself. I love dayz. But even I am totally pissed of when i loose all my gear ive gathered in hours and hours of playing to a frickin hacker and afterwards see a interview with Rocket where he gets hit by a hacker in a heli while playing and says he hates them but yeah, they make all this funny experiences. Ha Ha. So the OP is totally right, before doing all this interviews, before bringing us dogs and base building. EVEN IF IT IS AN ALPHA, please make this alpha playable by fixing the main issues. It will affect your amount of copies sold when its standalone. Significantly.

The loot is always better if a server just restarted. I found in Cherno firestation on the three floors an AKM, a DMR and an AKS Kobra after the server restart. The longer the server is up the more often you find rooms full of empty tin cans and civillian buildings like supermarkets wih nothing in it but 1 or 2 backpacks. At least thats what thats what it seems like from my experiences.

I will register in a minute and try this out. I just cant let all that flaming negative posts uncommented. How can you even dare to flame someone who spends effort and money on creating and maintaining a server and try to create HIS vision. He just wants to share it with others, you dont need to pay for it, you dont need to do it if you dont want. Its so ridiculous to flame on this. Im looking forward to this, i like the refreshing experience private hive servers give.

So satisfying! They dont even know how to communicate properly, i think they are just some of these fresh players thinking they should hax some as50 and a ghillie in and shoot people looting elektro to compensate their real life as looser kids. How i hate them. You do not even have to go up north any more, if you can accept hacker gear you just have to sneak up those hills around elektro with any starter gun and kill them.

If you have a sidearm i see absolutely no need for a shotgun (inculding winnie....) when you have any kind of assault rifle. Sidearm as anti-zombie, assault rifle anti-player weapon. Winnie is a good starter weapon but you can throw it away as soon as you have an assault rifle. And if you want the winnie back, just loot some barns, they are common as empty tin cans ;)

Hi all, I had some really cool experiences on some servers with own hive, I think one of the main reasons was the global chat which can really help solo players to find people to team up with. However, the global chat can be quite annoying ingame, its just not immersive here and people misusing global voice chat can be a real pain in the ass. So why not go for a compromise on the "official" servers and allow global chat in the lobby (and disable being kicked after a few mins of idle in the lobby...)? So people could try to find someone to play and cooperate but it would not disturb the ingame experience. There are of course some downsides, as a newspawn you would first have to spawn and then return to lobby to let other players know where you are and so on but it would give you a chance to cooperate with people if you are nor in a clan. What do you think? okami

I think what you can hear sometimes (i think somewhere betweeen loading screen 1 and waiting for character to create) is indeed ingame direct communication which you should not be able to hear. To me it seemed like a bug when it happened. And sometimes there are some servers which get totally stuck for everyone (i remember this happened when the hive was last ddosed) when suddenly everyone can use voice and global chat. Seems like bugs too. But why not have a seperate lobby for people to talk and organize.

Yeah it was on of my first wtf moments in DayZ (shortly followed by getting my legs broke by opening a door ;) ) when I got eaten by Jamie Hyneman from mythbusters...

Okay I just checked it, obviously you can use group chanel in the lobby, since you can not have groups in DayZ i suppose no one will hear you? If I`m wrong maybe this should somehow be made more popular since I have not one time seen anyone use it. And the lobby idle time should be raised or you should be able to enter some kind of "chat lobby".

Hey, is anyone here from the team that controlled elektro yesterday on NL40? You pinned my girlfriend and me down on top of the North-East Firestation where we managed to kill one of you sneaking up with an L85A2 AWS (su was his name) but then ended up in a bloody mess when i somehow glitched out of the tower and climbed down the wrong ladder. After I died I had like the best respawn luck ever and spawned 3 times near elektro to take back my loot but you got me every time. Before the last spawn I thought you were two, maybe three, two snipers and one player with an mg. On my last spawn I realized the burned out bus in the middle of elektro and took one shot on a sniper on a roof south of the town so I think you must have been at least 4 people spread over the whole town, at least 3 snipers and a mobile player with a heavy gun. Even if I died a lot this was one of the most exiting confrontations I had in dayz. If one of you is reading this please answer and let me know if my thougths are right, i cant believe its a coincident that so many well equipped players are in elektro and dont try to take out each other. And if you recorded some of this send me a link, i would so much like to see the other perspective. Oh before i forget, my ingame name is Tobi
