    If a trader...

    Mad Z replied to IndyAM's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    I can assure you that an TWS you find is not a "lingering veteran's" weapon. I've been playing since July, and it has never been a lootable item. Between that time and now, there have been multiple updates that wiped tents, meaning that it would be virtually impossible for one to survive this long. I don't even think it was ever a non-hacked weapon, but it is definitely in the category of "weapons that aren't in the game".

    Just letting you know, any time you want to update your beta patch, you will need to copy and paste a new exe, but you can delete the old one.

    It seems to me that this button on the homepage has simply become a waste of space. The leaderboards were only up for a few days back in July, if I remember correctly, and as far as I know, they have been down ever since. It is my guess that they were removed because it was decided that DayZ shouldn't really be a game about achieving the highest score, since it is described by its creator as hardly a game at all. This is a DayZ website/forum suggestion, not a an ingame suggestion, but I didn't see another sub-forum more suited for posting this.

    Most of the these maps have a central hive according to what host supports the map.
  5. Mad Z
    If I remember correctly, it showed the names and statistics of the top 20 players in terms of zombie kills, murders, bandits killed, distance traveled, and time alive. There was one leaderboard for alive characters and one for all time. Unless you have about 30 murders, you would not have shown up on the old leaderboards, and I have no doubt that you would need closer to 100 to be on it now.
  6. Mad Z
    I have to agree. It was only meaningful the first day that it was up, since after that, some played with a goal of reaching the leaderboard, while it originally was a reflection on peoples' natural and uninfluenced gameplay.

    Achievement Unlocked! Lone Survivor Beat the single player campaign on any difficulty.

    Some people...

    A simple way to do it is to go into your Arma 2 OA folder, then expansions, then beta, and copy the arma2oa application and paste it into your Arma 2 OA folder. By launching your game through this, you can enable/disable any expansions that you would like, allowing you to play both default Arma as well as DayZ maps that aren't supported by DayZ Commander yet.

    Usually use a stapler. Don't ask why, because I don't know why.

    Whats wrong with sidechat?

    Mad Z replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    I agree 100% OP. Side chat more often than not results in collaboration and less of a kill on site mentality. The private hives that I play where it is enabled definitely cause me to play differently.

    Join a fairly populated server with a long load time. While it says "Waiting for character to create.", click escape, and the click respawn. Hopefully that will fix your problem.

    Why are vehicles so weak?

    Mad Z replied to Inception.'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    I'm hoping that having 2 balances out the effect, or I'm in for a nasty death pretty soon.
  14. Mad Z
    Can't tell if troll, but DayZ mod is free. You pay for Arma II: CO, which is a game in itself.
  15. Mad Z
    The mod is free and there will always be server hosts looking to make some money by hosting these servers. Also, I think that many might like the mod more, if standalone is adding things that people don't like, such as puking and weapon-jamming (I am not 100% sure that these are more than rumors, though).
  16. Mad Z
    DayZ Mod for Arma will continue into standalone, of course it is worth it.
  17. Mad Z
    Any time I meet someone who I want to team up with, I ask them if they have some voice communication service such as Teamspeak, Mumble, Ventrilo, or Skype.

    Fallujah Reference Map

    Mad Z replied to darklight7's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    You are an hero, sir.
  19. Mad Z
    What are you talking about? They never understand, Battleye have told people who had their CD Keys stolen that they are sorry, but they need to buy a new copy. This is no different really, they aren't going to be sympathetic. Anyway, sorry to hear that this happened, that sucks big time. There is an official link in a stickied thread for DayZ Commander if you're buying another copy.

    Good luck getting morphine and medical supplies with your "genius" route. 50% chance it will end with you not finding a crashed heli and stuck in the middle of nowhere with broken legs. Berezino spawn is much smarter.

    Looking for M240 and M240 only.

    Mad Z replied to sojerboy08's topic in Trading

    Agreed, I have only seen the M240 once before, and that was inside of a tent. I didn't even take it, since I already had an MK 48, but I did take the mags.

    Giving out Medium-Tier weapons

    Mad Z replied to KuumotusTatti's topic in New Player Discussion

    Fairly accurate, usable both up close and at a good distance, commons mags (DMR), 1 shot kills a zombie, 2 shots kill a player. Use it well, just beware that it is loud and will draw a lot of attention towards you from both zombies and players.

    Giving out Medium-Tier weapons

    Mad Z replied to KuumotusTatti's topic in New Player Discussion

    M14 AIM? Medium-tier? That thing is awesome! Not looking for gear right now, though.

    Black Ops mode

    Mad Z replied to silentghoust's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions

    Ain't that a bit racialist, man?

    Post your humanity!

    Mad Z replied to Wutangrza's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    -106k at the moment, although I've been lurking on private hives and other maps for the last month...
