Fraggle (DayZ)

Play on well run private hives and hackers won't be an issue for you.

They're actually a valuable resource for ideas and discussion. No more pressure is created for the devs by people discussing ideas.

You are forgiven my son. Locked

Rockets quotes on the subject (third time I've posted them on this thread I think :) ) "If it was developed concurrently cross platform then yes, it would impact (i.e. Skyrim, XCOM). I would be, ahem, very unhappy with such a thing. But if independently of PC, it gets released on the Mac, iPhone, casio wristwatch, tibetian-ceremonial-balsa-wood-entertainment-drums ... who really cares? 2012 is the year of the PC game, the console manufactures know it, and they need to deliver for 2013 and beyond. We make the PC standalone development the best it can be... and if that translates well to another platform, cool! it means more players, and ultimately more customers." "It's just basic maths really. Anyone in the video game industry would say the same thing, once a game reaches a certain point - the likelihood of some kind of console port becomes quite high. Cross-platform releases are about maximizing sales. I care about zero for consoles, personally. I have an Xbox 360 they gave me with my tv, I played for about a few hours and it just wasn't for me. I used to work at Sidhe interactive and that really reinforced for me I don't like console GAMES nor the DEVELOPMENT of them. But many people do, so I would personally not have anything against a DayZ console port - although I struggle to see how I would personally be involved in such a development. I mean, I really couldn't care if there was a current gen console port. Anyone thinking my comments constitutes news really bemuses me, it's seems very obvious to me: certain number of sales = console port = more sales?" "DayZ was/is made to be the game that I want to play, not that makes the most money. I don't enjoy console games, I don't like the controller and the lack of options they currently present from a design perspective. There's not really any redeeming features for me, currently, for a console that would make me drop the PC. I've worked in console development before, didn't care much for it." Sounds pretty sensible to me.

Listen to Amber too dude, he knows what he's talking about ;)

Surely telling you to read the the first post of the thread you're posting on that has all the info you need is being helpful. It's also common sense. LEARN2FORUM.

Try reading the actual 1st post and the link on the thread you just posted on.

I played on 1st person only for about 3 months so yes, it's much better.

I think there's some truth in that in my experience. My Mum was a florist and a bit of a hippie too and my dad was a designer. My Brother's an artist professionally and I've always enjoyed art and music as hobbies.

Or he spawned fresh and was heading for his camp to gear up I guess. I usually head straight north from Kamenka too hitting the deerstands.

Yeh your right. I've always considered it as an extra map but it is a mod in its's own right. There's many "extra's" and changes that aren't part of vanilla DayZ where as the other maps, are just different maps with the same DayZ experience. Arman, sorry if I added to the confusion, I need more coffee :)

As Boneboys said. Be wary of sites or people offering you software to improve your FPS on DayZ. It's a common method people will use to steal your game key. You could try Gamebooster, it's a quick , free install. It basically shuts down any unnecessary tasks running in the background to free up some CPU usage but the results can be pretty minimal. Edit - Namalsk is a different map for DayZ whereas Wasteland is a different mod altogether, much like DayZ is a mod in it's own right. If you use DayZCommander (free) it'll show you a list of all of the different maps for DayZ so you won't get confused, it'll also keep all of your DayZ files up to date. I'd recommend it over what you have now as it's designed purely for DayZ and has a nice clean UI.

Luckily projects like DayZ have a chance of turning the minority into the majority and making others in the industry take note of what's being achieved here. Nothing about DayZ is pandering to peoples pockets yet here we are looking at a potentially massive game release.

At least you got your refund. As he said in the video, if we keep supporting (buying) rubbish games then that's what they'll keep churning out, and we'll have nobody to blame but ourselves.

I like his vids. He's well informed and makes his points really well.

I think the issue first cropped up when duping was a big problem. Every player seemed to have the best gear and plenty of it which took away from the game. I have no issue with high-end gear being in the game as long as it's rare and the ammo is hard to come by meaning players need to think hard before wasting ammo.

You're missing the whole point of DayZ and why it's become so popular if you want to play it without other people in the game "world". Please don't use WarZ as a comparison, as most of us are aware by now that's a flawed and broken game filled with hackers and created by clueless and untrustworthy devs who's only aim was to dupe people into buying their sham of a creation.

It's a nicely made vid but TBH encouraging players to "suicide" in order to get nearer loot undermines the whole point of DayZ. Surviving well in DayZ should be about coping with the hand you've been dealt. Also, telling noobs to use loot maps is another mistake as learnig yourself where to find things and exploring the map is part of the game, for me metagaming ruins a big part of that exploration. To sum it up I really don't like this as a guide.

Yup, that's a good point and for me the zeds have always just provided a backdrop for what is essentially a game where it's you/me versus the map/environment and other players. I know many complain that zeds should play a bigger part, they may be right but I'm gonna be happy if the game continues to focus on other survival elements in the future eg: disease, food resources, clean water and so on.

Have a look through the private hive section of the forums, there's loads of good servers (bad ones too) so try to find a well established one that looks like they look after their players.

But to the point. I hate the idea and it's exactly the opposite direction the devs are taking the game in thankfully.

I think that was why it was removed, so that being a bandit didn't carry the advantage of having camo with it. It does look nice though.

For anyone else reading, it really is important for you to put the server name in the title and include your player name in the report. Otherwise there really is no chance of the server admin being able to find your report and deal with it.

They're not really supposed to be an end game item at all. They are just something else on the map that you can choose to take advantage of if you want to spend the time doing so, frankly the more skill required to use them the better. You're going to be dissapointed with the SA if you're not expecting it to be harder in general.

Just make yourself a nice looking sig and have that link to whatever page you need it to. If you can't figure out how to get it to link gimme a shout and I can do it for you.
