I hope that some realistic weather makes it into the full game, weather can be much more than a visual effect; it can create atmosphere and possibly can also be a big part of the disease and sickness system.

subtle ways of affecting players
Josh225 replied to HashSlingingSlasher192's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I think it definitely needs to feel more like an apocalypse than what it currently does. -
Radios have been suggested a lot, I personally see barely any point in them. Groups that want to communicate like it or not will use an external service like teamspeak. I see what you're saying though, it would be fun to stalk a player with a radio and find out information about their squad/equipment/camp but I think the only people that will use them will just troll others.

I hope that the weather actually varies widely, if you notice the weather right now it is pretty flat. It's either Raining, cloudy, sunny or storming. How nice would it be if you could also actually read the clouds to see if there was a storm coming and gauge how severe it's going to be and figure out how you're going to prepare for it. I want to be able to play for an hour in sunshine, spot a storm coming and watch it gradually approach and become darker as it starts to rain... Thinking outside of the current limitations here.

[SA, Map design] REAL incentives to team up.
Josh225 replied to WiFiN's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I think with the new looting mechanics and hopefully harder zombies combined with disease in standalone should be more than enough to balance out the whole death match going on. As for needing another person to help you into an area it seems like it will just become a matter of: Player 1 needs Player 2 to help him past X obstacle. Player 1 and Player 2 help each other through obstacle to better loot. Player 1 shoots Player 2. Although I think it's a good idea that we could expand on. -
I can't play the bandit role.. Help

At least you're smart enough to disarm them. -

Laptop users need not apply... -
I always get excited when I see one of these in my sub box. They are just fun to watch for whatever reason.

How do you change/select gender?
Josh225 replied to HUNTER_II7's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Seeing as nobody is taking this seriously I will. As far as I know the ability to choose gender depends on if the server allows it. Some private hives have it disabled (I don't know why) and seeing as the only servers worth playing are private hives I spose your only option is to find a server that allows it. -
Retexturing models and testing them in game
Josh225 replied to sausagekingofchicago's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It seems like Sausage hits some real 'home run' posts sometimes... -
Good luck keeping it with all the survivors that are going to try and kill you. Sometimes it saves your ass though.

I really hope next video update we see another one of these...

Will Snipers Be Removed Or At Least Tweaked In S.A?
Josh225 replied to Pokerguy12's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I hit a can mid-air after it had been shot by someone else, complete fluke but I still have the can up on my shelves. It's a pepsi. -
Will Snipers Be Removed Or At Least Tweaked In S.A?
Josh225 replied to Pokerguy12's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm unsure how many of the players have ever actually shot any sort of scoped rifle in real life before. But I can tell you, I've only shot with them a few times and if they were that hard to shoot in DayZ then I wouldn't hit the broadside of a (High value) barn :P. Anyhow I heard that there will be less focus on military hardware in the SA, so less .50 more hunting rifle I spose. -
question about the mod...should i buy it now???
Josh225 replied to sushi4breakfast7's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If you are sure that you can hold a stable fps then I say absolutely! There hasn't been a game that I've spent more time in than this. -
Heroes - how do you approach them?
Josh225 replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have a hero skin most of the time but I find it difficult to keep it. It seems even though it is quite an accomplishment to get enough humanity I end up losing it because some hotshot survivor wanted to try his luck. It seems people distrust heroes a lot. I don't understand why, maybe if you knew how hard it was to get the skin... -
3rd Party Interaction, and why it ruins the game
Josh225 replied to applejaxc's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I don't know why you would want to stop other players from playing with their friends in comms... Unless you yourself have no friends to play with so therefore If I can't have it no-one can. -
Wow, an ancient thread has been awoken. I always did wonder about that picture, had no idea it was an actual screen-cap.

If I picked coconut would you carry me...?

Anyone else miss when you were a noob?
Josh225 replied to Death_Dealer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I remember doing a clean install a while back to clear out the clutter of mods I had and it reset my arma settings. I joined a server and the music was on by default and holy shit it really took me back, I actually left it on for a while. I think ambient sound was what really made the mod scary back in my noob days. And now I find myself sitting here listening to that video remembering my first hours... Wow... -
DayZ Mercenary - Taking out a DeathSquad

I love how at 2:54 you can see the tracer from the round that nearly took your head off. -
Why do you shoot unarmed players?
Josh225 replied to maninthewall's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Un-armed bandits can't be trusted. Un-armed survivors if I have a spare gun I'll give them one, then I'm justified to shoot them if they prove to be a jackass. -
"Even installing it was this incredible right of passage". I remember when I first downloaded the mod files, I did it from capped net. That was a long day.

So I finally acquired photoshop the other day and I am seriously contemplating using my clearly over 9000 photoshop skills to contribute. I seriously can't believe how long this thread has been going. I come here when I am sad.
