    A Pessimist's View of the Standalone

    It will probably be a VERY long time before DayZ will play well, but the standalone will probably just be better. Not sure exactly how much. I mean, Arma 2 never worked well; the vehicle combat is downright hilarious, i commonly find myself staring at vehicles for 10s after i shoot them to see them pop into dead mode. Same thing with staring at zombies

    Zombies: Faster and Headshot Only

    First, look up cardiac arrest. Getting shot in the chest with a heavy rifle round doesn't cause cardiac arrest, it causes rupturing of the pericardium, aka getting blasted to smithereens. No blood, no oxygen, no movement. Zombie would probably have a very hard time getting back up after it gets knocked on its ass with no blood flow. Pain doesn't factor into it at all. No matter how little pain he feels, he still cant move. Unless, of course, you say the zombie's muscles are self-animating, and the only way that can happen is.... MAGIC! Which is usually the only way to explain zombies in general

    Zombies: Faster and Headshot Only

    Basic Biology-Muscles need blood to move. Blood is pumped by heart. put a .308 in a zombie's heart, it doesn't have a heart anymore. Therefore, it cannot move, its brain will have no blood, and will die shortly after. Silly ppl.....
  4. Honestly, if you haven't played this map yet, you need to. Just ten minutes and Dayz Commander will get you into this jungle paradise. A few things that make Lingor great are... 1. The vast majority of buildings are enterable: gone are the days of running into doors in Chernarus 2. Strategy of staying in small towns is far more viable: instead of there being five loot spots in a town there are 50(not literal numbers, chill out ;)) 3. Easier to find a gun: many more military spots 4. Side chat: allows players to be friendly instead of being forced to shoot 5. Skins: the character models look more unique and all around better, instead of your character being drawn form four combinations of vest and shirt 6. Landscape: Chernarus had gray, bland cities with five different models of buildings, Lingor has fixed this to a degree Throw these into Chernarus, you could really get an engaging, fun map that is far more authentic than it is now. Add some new models for buildings so cherno and elektro don't have three cafes side-by-side that look exactly the same. A side note....Maybe start with a Makarov and one magazines? Just so you can have SOME chance of defense against people hunting new-spawns, or at least scare them away until you find a real gun. Not like you can go on a PvP tirade with one mag since I don't even thing eight shots of a Makarov will kill.

    Learning from Lingor

    The main points here were side chat, enterable building, and model variation. Hard to take the game seriously when you are being chased by 5 zombies that look exactly the same... I have noticed a huge spike in PvP in Chernarus with the loss of side chat, and i am not the only one
  6. I'm just praying the standalone is more smooth than arma 2 was, because after about 2 hours of that game, i was prepared to shoot myself because of bugs and retarded AI.
  7. i dont want to have to command Fido using the Arma 2 system since it would make my puppy act more down syndrome than it already will. Otherwise, snazzy idea

    Favorite DayZ map?

    Lingor because I always hated running into doors in Chernarus when i was newer, and it has moar lewt

    NV Goggles

    NV goggles really arent a big deal, since so few people have them.
  10. The idea of zombies originated from a movie, so what's wrong with basing suggestions for a zombie game by citing examples from the type of media that created them?
  11. Every time I think about the dayz standalone, part of me thinks, "Wow! I can't wait until this comes out, a DayZ with far fewer bugs and no more hackers! And a new map! Snazzy!" The rational part of me replies, "You realize this is still gonna be a buggy Chernarus that's basically still in alpha, with some underground construction that will probably be glitchy as hell, right?" The other part of me, deflated, replies, "Yeah, but one can hope..." When I first heard the news of a dayz standalone, I expected a release around next July, judging by the amount of things that needed fixing. But no. Personally, IMO, the priorities should be as follows... 1. Fix the bugs and the hackers. If there is going to be a standalone, I want it to be clean(or relatively clean) of the game-breaking bugs the mod suffers from. 2. Improve the UI so it isn't so cumbersome. Its an ordeal every time I hit the gear button, and the time it takes to grab but a few cans of beans makes me sad. I believe they have already released a concept for a new UI, so yippee! ;) 3. Add new features. Let's go back to one of the mod's updates. The game is suffering from major game-breaking bugs. The bugs were starting to become mechanics. Doors were lethal. A two foot fall caused bones to splinter. You couldn't put gear on the ground without fear Chernarus would consume the weapon and remove it from existence. So, obviously, the next logical step is to add bear traps. https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTrM54CkGdZJ9SgdxTaKaAkUq5qy-Extr6BDtzE4Aiixj4ikOHL PLEASE....just push back the release date and fix the game breaking bugs. Clean up the coding, optimize the engine a bit better, make the majority of the buildings enterable, and hell, add a new map. Chernarus is getting a bit stale.
  12. Humanity would never fall to fast zombies. One tank > as many zombies it can kill with its BMG ammo and canister shot. And there are Quite a few more than one tank in existence. A platoon of well armed soldiers vs unarmed morons? Zombies don't stand a chance. That's why the work authentic is thrown around, since zombies are unrealistic in essence. It's one of the few nitpicky words that I actually care about. Tester vs player, mod vs game, whatever . Authentic vs realistic relating to zombies, go with the former.

    1.7.2.6 buggy?

    I think u can turn the debug monitor on and off. However, it said that the artifacts would be fixed, but im still getting them. Typical rocket patch XD
  14. Quaby

    Do you like the name DayZ?

    I would call it DaySSWBLAZTMMTYYAU Sniping Simulator With a Bunch of LCD- Abusing Zombies That May Mike Tyson You if You Are Unlucky
  15. Probably because once you've gone through life number ten or so you have next to nothing to do. Except for the "fun" cycle of gearing up, running to airfield, and dying.

    I stole your Heli

    Idk what was up with the fire, that has happened to me in a heli too lol. I just turned around to see zelenogorsk on fire. Rather peculiar....

    My and your ideas for unusual vehicles

    There are so many bummed out humvees that a few working ones would certainly make me a happy camper. I am not sure how having a M2 would work, but I would be happy with just an unarmed humvee.
  18. I ran into a group of hackers who decided they were going to go on a private hive server and set up a trading post, as well as a taxi service. Now tell me, is that really bad? Likely response:"OMG ALL HAX0rZ musht DIEEEE" My response: The game(mod, whatever, don't get your panties in a knot)is so devoid of content that basically all you can do is either hunt people, which gets old, or hack. Many members on the community have taken the latter option. I am just proud of some who are trying to do a bit of good with their magical powers.
  19. Quaby

    Not all hackers are bad

    The admins on the server are hackers, so really, they weren't doing much harm ;) And they were nice people. They never killed anyone. I was with them for an hour and the whole time we just chit-chatted while looking for a trading post spot and played with para-cows :D

    About the eating sound

    Manners are just perception, brother. Choose not to be offended and you will not be. I eat efficiently, im not a slob :D

    Calling for MASS HIVE WIPE <---|

    And lose my legit NVG's? Bitch, please..... AND, it wont do anything except piss me off ;)
  22. Quaby

    Now, I would like to know why

    Well, i mean, the hacked weapons dont automatically give the person holding them god mode. They can still die, even if their gun is good.

    HELICOPTER CO-PILOT - Standalone suggestion

    The one time i got a heli it just disappeared when i logged back in ;'(...still, good idea
  24. Um, yeah, very few people are effective longbowmen, but the weapon is exponentially better than a crossbow, same with most other bow types. Crossbow's just real simple, same advantage muskets had over bows, along with the power.

    anti-wiki tactics

    I dont think you can censor everyone who posts guides or wikis. There is a magical thing called free speech and that kinda means you can say whatever the fuck you want.
