A Radical PVP Game Change? Take Sniper Rifles Out.
Ballistixz replied to justwrath's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
this and also remove the "farming" factor from this game. its ruining it. wipe EVERYTHING clean and fix/randomize loot locations so that ppl do not farm places like the NW airfields and hoard them in there tents/vehicles. its beyond stupid. or better yet, get rid of the item storage entirely. this way ppl really will have fear of losing there gear even if there in clans. the point of the game is to survive and when u die u die. not "lol i died, time to go back to my atv in the forest and regear myself instantly. better go farm NW airfield first tho to restock my ATV just incase i die again" -
Winchester or Lee Einfield? What is their damage on humans?
Ballistixz replied to hazychestnutz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
i have lots of fun with the enfield, especially on high places.... its the next best thing to a scoped sniper rifle imo. -
im not exactly sure where to post this, but earlier today cherno was hit by a group of 3 highly suspicious guys (2 named, 1 unknown) the 2 named guys are called friendlywhiteguy and cookiemonsters. sadly i do not have any screens/videos to prove them, but I am making this post as warning/rant I guess you can say. at the very least they were assholes, but there activities and the way they went about things didn't seem right to me. here is what went down. there is a popular sniping spot at the factory on the 2 highest points in cherno. i went up there for a bit and started sniping ppl. 2 of my victims included friendly and cookie monster. doing this for a while gave away my position to several people including friendly and cookie. an all out mini war pretty much happened to claim that spot. during this fiasco i managed to snipe friendly about 3 or 4 times and cookie 1 time along with a few others before i died. luckily i respawned near churno and went straight for where my body was only to find 3 different ppl with AKs in the area. the entire place was swarmed with enemies and zombies so i didn't bother with my body and instead went to get a enfield. when i came back the spot was claimed by 3 ppl with range finders/guillie suits, and SVDs. i found it strange that these ppl showed up suddenly, but honestly i didn't think nothing of it and proceeded with the war that happened. everything was going well and was pretty fun, even had a few good laughs. but what was odd was the fact that after 2 of them died, they seemed to instantly go back to the spot with the same gear..... that's when i thought something was up. at this point i didn't know who they were so i snuck in under them to get a better view on them. 2 of them were cookie and friendly who were on the highest buildings and the other was an unknown who was directly above the building i was in (the 2nd highest building) i was thinking to myself "how the hell did those 2 gear up with high tier gear like that?" and more importantly "how is it that they keep coming back with that same gear after they died?" that's when i started asking questions in global to them. of course they said that they had ATVs somewhere in the forest, but i was watching those 2 in particular the entire time. and what weirded me out even more is that they said all of their gear were "expendable"..... the gear that they had were SVD cammos, range finders, and gullie suits. i couldn't tell what there sidearms were, but i did get close enough to one of them to see that they had a SVD. how is this gear expendable? last i checked it had a 0.11 chance of dropping only from the barracks. this is when the shit talking began. they started to brag and pretty much entice/troll the ppl they were shooting at. some other guys managed to get a few kills on 2 of them, (one of them being cookie) but they just kept coming back to that spot with the SAME gear (SVD and all) you mean to tell me that u hoarded that many "expendable" SVDs and range finders/ghuillie suits in ur random ATV in a nearby forest? now obviously i cant prove that they did or did not do this. they could have had a spawned hacked crate in the forest somewhere or they could have very well had a ATV with a shit ton of high tier gear in it, but w/e. whats sad is that they had to resort to this in the first place just because they were mad at a few deaths when all they had were enfields and revolvers at first. i honestly didn't care that i died, i was actually having fun at the mini war we were having originally, but when u start pulling that shit just because you were mad at your deaths AND top it off with shit talk is pretty sad hack or no hack.... at the end of the day, they were the sole reason that cherno was completely empty and the reason half of the server left and went to another server. u literally couldn't do anything in that city while they were there with their high tier gear. BTW, there were also snipers in elektro apprently with the same military grade gear sniping ppl on the same server, but i have no idea who they were or if they were affiliated with the guys in cherno since i was fighting in cherno at the time.

The zombies need to be more dangerous.
Ballistixz replied to switch296's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
please IGNORE the OP. the zombies are far to buggy to be "made harder or easier" right now. they teleport, walk through walls, bullets phase through them, erratic behaviour, being able to spot u through walls and from far away distances even when crawling, etc. the way zombies are right now is just pure and utter cheapness. fix them and then think about buffing or nerfing them. -
its disgusting when server admins horde all of the vehicles/loot to themselves and there friends and think there entitled.

Tents still duping/losing items 1.7.1.5
Ballistixz replied to kicktd's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
this needs to be a priority fix. spending HOURS to get gear and storing them in tents only to have them deeleted is frustrating. -
my first time going to stary i got shot by some auotmatic. i scanned the area and didnt see anyone at all so i thought it was "safe" (silly me). i proceeded to loot 2 tents till i found a fresh unlooted body. at the time i didnt think nothing of it cuz i litteraly sat outside the hills for 10 or 15 mins with binoculars and i didnt see anyone going in or out of the tents. when i was checking his body some derp ass came up to the side of me and unloaded. i have no idea where the fuck he was, but the shots were extremly close so he had to have been litteraly right next to me. (it wasnt a sniper, it was a automatic weapon) it took me like 2 hours to travel to stary from vysota (this includes me finding 2 ppl at the barn also on the road going to vysota. i killed them both, but the zombies finished me off somehow and i had to regear in order to travel back there). so basically 2 hours just to go to stary to die by some retard camping INSIDE one of the tents for all eternity.

it seems like he is talking about the tents with 4 deer huts near belota airstrip.

just go to the medical tents, thats pretty much ur only option since ur in churno. going to another city just for medical will only increase ur risk of dying. just get in and get out as quick as u can. u should also go get a alice pack from the store or one of the apartments. when u have gear that valuable, the risk increases when trying to get other things to protect that gear and urself. something as simple as getting a bandages becomes 100x more dangerous it seems.

The hidden problems with PVP/PVE only servers.
Ballistixz replied to SystemiK's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
this is a military simulator turned into a post apocolyptic world simulator. what would be the point in pure pve? going around shooting zombies/animals with no gain what so ever? the pvp aspect is what makes this game thirlling. if u dont like it go play diablo or single player in L4D or something. i actually love the fact that you have 2 main enemies in this game, zombies and a even bigger threat humans. this is not a carebear world where everyone you meet is friendly -
IF a zombie apocolypse really did happen
Ballistixz replied to nooblord's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
if a zombie apocolypses happened i can promise you one thing, it wont be like the games or movies. -
Ok this guy cracks me up
Ballistixz replied to Strategos (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
this guy and Destiny NEEEEEEEED to team up ASAP -
go find barns, they almost always spawn a shotgun, lee, or a sniper rifle/crossbow and there not swarmed by players/zombies. same thing with deer huts. if u really want a weapon tho from the city or want something from the store id say go to a low populated night server with chemlights. the ppl that are on those servers (all 5-9 of them) usually dont bother camping the cities and instead camp the airfied and other northern popular areas. farming the cherno aparments with a chem light at night is best. once u have what u need u can change servers to a daytime server. you should still proceed with caution tho since its not guranteed that no one will be in the town with u doing the same thing.
-
if im not mistaken, loot spawns once every 10 mins as long as ur about 100+ meters away from it? i could be wrong, but i heard that from somewhere. if ur in range it messes with the loot spawns and they wont spawn at all if ur in the area (to prevent camp farming i guess, but obviously that doesnt prevent farming and camping) again i could be wrong, but thats what i heard from someone in another thread.
-
there is some bug with tents to where everything u put in it gets deleted somehow. (and no its not being looted, ive tested it with useless items like empty cans/flashlights that no one in there right mind would loot) i dont know why or how the items are being deleted, but ive stoped using tents till its fixed.
-
im still relatively new to the game (my only experience comes from watching Destinys stream) and honestly, all i do is gungho a area i know will spawn some goodies. and if i die? well, free respawn. barns are my fav tho simply because of the sniper and einfields there. when i get a sniper i love to just sit outside the hills near the aparments, snipe ppl, and loot there bodies for more stuff. my current plan is to head north to starry to get better items then to the airfield. sadly i havent been to neither yet. theres always ppl somewhere and i even got ambushed at a random barn while headed to starry. (killed one of them and broke the legs of the other one tho)
-
Randomize loot locations. its that simple really. if loot doesnt spawn in specific and set locations and instead are randomized it will make the game better. right now there are to many ppl that camp the cities for good loot. same with air field and other popular locations. its fine if certain items like food/drink/maps/etc spawn only in the city or alot of loot spawns in the city, but dont have all the best items spawn there to where its campled endlessly by people. cities should be a get in and get out place in my humble opinion and the REAL source of loot should be out in the land/forest in random locations/houses/towns/fields. it will give a new meaning to "live off of the land". animals should be slightly more numerous in forest areas to hunt. my 2 cents. take it or leave it

how to prevent loot farmers/raids/camping
Ballistixz replied to Ballistixz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
bumping this cuz i really hate the camping aspect right now. i dont know if this is intended, but the fact that ppl camp and farm the fuck out of air fields and other locations is kinda sad. -
Removing stuff off-map
Ballistixz replied to WalkerDown (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

i havent been on a server with 0 zombies, but i have been on a night server where there was only 10-30 zombies on it. surprisingly, they were all in churno apprently since i was getting chased by a bunch of them despite the low count....

Those "unplugged connectors" is a symbol for when your in shock (they are nerve endings I think, not a disconnecting cable)... and in my opinion it is the perfect way to stop the DCer's. if you get a bullet whiz by you your character should automatically display this symbol. And if you log off then your character should be automatically killed and you should have to respawn. I think that the only way you should be allowed to DC is to be in the woods (not a city, to prevent server jumpers looking for loot in the same location on different servers) and it should take 15 second cooldown before you can leave. TL;DR : if in shock disconnecting should automatically kill you, to properly disconnect: 15 second cooldown and must be in the woods thats a horrible idea. accidents like power outages or lost internet connections DO happen.

Tents still duping/losing items 1.7.1.5
Ballistixz replied to kicktd's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
had my items deleted aswell. the tent seems completly useless right now because of this issue. so far 3 tents on 3 different servers all had my items deleted. i even tested it by putting useless items in the tent (like flash lights and empty cans) to make SURE no one was looting my tents, and sure enough they all vanished. so i know it wasnt a looter because no one would loot a bunch of empty cans and flashlights.
