  1. Oh the irony. It doesn't sound good when you talk in an ignorant and idiotic manner whilst questioning someone else's IQ. Just saying. You can't even write a reply with sensible formatting, let alone the subject of your post.

    DayZ feels American

    I agree generally with the OP. The argument that it is 'just a game'.. is fine, but what is wrong with some authenticity? That is what makes a good game stand out from the usual crap that is proceeded these days. There is no need to use American items. The game is obviously located in a Russian speaking country. There is simply no excuse to have weapons & gear predominately American.

    Need some help with settings

    Your CPU will be the issue The above quote was true for Arma2 engine and suspect it is true for Dayz now. You want your GPU to be doing all the work it can..
  4. That doesn't actually make any difference. Using stock sound recording is fine if they work, not everything needs to be created from scratch. (assuming the correct licencing or similar is sort.)

    I've heard troubling rumours...(no helis)

    What's next? Hovercraft, Tanks, APC, Jump Jets.... Helicopters have no place in Dayz IMO.

    Where the heck is the long range scope?

    It seems to me you either need to server hop or be very lucky... I have about 120 hours in game and have hit numerous military bases (many ((seemingly)) unlooted) and I've never seen one. :( I refuse to server hop mil bases, but damn it would be nice to find one one day!

    Experimental Zombie AI 35.115791

    Had the same thing happen to me.. EXCEPT.. as i was bleeding badly I decide to run up some stairs to bandage in safety.. I choose one of the new police station. On the 3rd floor, top of the spiral stairs while i was bandaging a woman zombie made it up and beat me again!! It was excellent....

    Experimental Zombie AI 35.115791

    Better :P But what actually happened was a strange virus took hold creating what can only be described as 'living dead' or 'zombies'. The virus attacked their central nervous system and brain stem, making them like rabid animals with primal instincts with enhance sight and hearing. :D Just saying...

    So how does the timer trump server hopping?

    120 hours and i have never been kicked. The only time i have seen the timer is when i join a server and have forget to start TrackIR. So i have to shut Dayz, start TrackIR & start Dayz again.. is it inconvenient?.. yes, do i mind? hell no. Its gotta be fing annoying to server hoppers. Annoying them is enough, even if it doesn't stop them!

    Experimental Zombie AI 35.115791

    LOL as we all know what is realistic when it come to fictional zombies in a fictional scenario. I think you need to use a different argument.. as I hope you know zombies are not actually real. :)

    Experimental Zombie AI 35.115791

    Zombies are so much better in experimental right now. I just just got seriously beaten twice. Blood everywhere, broken arm, ruined leather jacker & gear.. followed me up 3 flights of stairs in a police station...mean mofos! Going into a town solo and shooting is a real danger now... :)

    3rd Person vs 1st Person?

    As long as there are normal & hardcore options everyone should be happy. Some just like to moan, bitch and stir up emotions on the interwebz
  13. I'm pretty tired of people posting subjective opinions as if they are facts. OP you are the worst culprit.
  14. Yes..you can see someone you 'ignore' has posted, but not the contents.

    How do I turn off sunbeams?

    As much as i love the sun rays they are over done. In my 40 years under the sun i have never seen them like they are in game. They should not be adjustable client side, but they do need to be 'reduced' IMO.
  16. Really looking forward to 'predators'. I love having him in my ignore list! :)
  17. -MadTommy

    What is your favorite item and why?

    Clothes. The variety and assortment of clothing is what I like most in game presently. The fact that every Dayz avatar is so different, something i make sure of.

    the Map for newbs

    Well done Sherlock!
  19. I'm curious which part of your character's life cycle you enjoy most and how it affects your gameplay. i.e a new spawn hungry, young looking for vital gear, mid life looking to fill your loot bag or old looking for high end / very rare gear. Personally i enjoy the early stages, I like being hungry with only jeans and the early gearing up. Once i have a rifle and ammo my enjoyment greatly reduces. Once i'm fully geared i get bored quick... and go looking for my death. The early times are so much more fun with better player interactions and real fear and danger from zombies. As a result I'm just starting a new life and i plan to only have a pistol as a weapon, no primary & no malee. I'm hoping this will make the zombies more threatening and players less so, as I will appear unarmed. I wonder what part of the Dayz life cycle others enjoy most. (I'm very aware as we move through to a finished product there will be a lot more to do once fully geared)

    Not sure myself.. but i got this just before someone broke my leg.. like milliseconds before.

    Sweet Sweet Irony

    I think there is code where you only find what you have or what you don't need. Rocket is a wanker! :P

    How to balance sniper rifles.

    Ballistics & wind have always been in the arma series.. i assume it is still in Dayz..
  23. -MadTommy

    How to balance sniper rifles.

    Make the scope sighting realistic. Upon attaching a scope you have to adjust the scope as you would a real one. Make a range and zero it correctly. No military uber sniper rifles, only hunting civilian ones. Make them bloody rare & ammo even rarer. or just remove them entirely! EDIT: Once physics is in.. making a range from cans & bottles would be fun!

    My Whiteknight adventure.

    Tried to do the same several times.. never any bandits there... :(
  25. Anyone else finding pistols very rare. I've not found one is ages. Rifles everywhere.. I'm tripping over pistol ammo, it's everywhere!
