August Round-up: DevBlog, #DayZDaily, Gamescom
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to SmashT's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I'm growing to love your cheery one liners :) Don't forget the dev team is soon to be expanded. It may be true that the work load may have stretched them a bit (I have no idea, just speculating because it's a big project for a small team) but as the dev team grows I'm sure everything will come together. -
DayZ Standalone Discussion
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to griffinz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Unless I'm mistaken that's already confirmed for the SA. Rounds and magazines will be separate objects/entities allowing you to swap rounds between different magazines for different guns. -
Can everyone do me a favour when the SA comes out?
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to dulix11's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If things go to plan there won't be any way for people to generate loot maps in the SA. That'll be nice. People will have to actually go and scavenge like the rest of us :). -
I hope it works out for you, you've been really patient. When you do finally get playing that patience will be your strongest asset. In DayZ it's the patient players that generally do well.

I find it crazy how some peeps seem to think it's somehow being intentionally held back because of some sadistic urge to watch us squirm. Crazy. I bet out of everyone in the world right now the no.1 guy that's the most frustrated that it isn't out yet is Rocket. -
If you could have one custom clothing item in Standalone, what would it be?
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to Cap'n (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Orlok, where's that mankini you love so much? The Sean connery one? Is it a Mankini? I can't remember but that's what you should request. -
Not sure "better fps" is really the feature I was looking for. That's just a performance gain :/. I'm pretty sure there's been 3d gunsight mods for Arma2 for years as well. I meant something specific to the SA.

All I want is this: Is that too much to ask? Is it Dean? -
The only map in the world "DayZ Minecraft" Scale 1:1
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to HunteR26RuS's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
AWESOME is how I rate it. *Edited to make the word "awesome" even bigger. -
I've never played or really looked at DayZero tbh although I will be having a peek. What features would you say were "taken" from the standalone just out of interest?
-
Would be interesting to know more about this. I have a feeling that the DayZ devs work under restrictions that either don't apply to other mod makers or that are sometimes ignored by other mod makers.
-
No probs. Ambers PM is on "snooze" atm but as soon as he wakes up I'll ask him to take a look at it for you.

DayZ Standalone Discussion
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to griffinz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well Youtubes shitty codecs certainly don't help. For a better idea look at the screenshots from the blog instead. It's miles ahead of Arma 2 or the mod. It's never going to look quite as pretty as Arma 3 because of the DX11 lighting but having played both it really isn't far off. There's still a long way to go in terms of optimisation and more engine reworking too so It's only going to get better. Arma 3 and DayZ have very different requirements gameplay wise. There's many reasons they opted to use the engine they have. Game design is about trade-offs. Obviously we all want everything. Well, we can't have it . -
DayZ Standalone Discussion
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to griffinz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Any mod for Arma 3 will also run into the same restrictions that the current mods has, something the SA doesn't. A mod will always just be a mod with all of the aggro and restrictions for the devs that entails. Being a relatively new engine it will likely suffer from even more issues with bugs than any of the current mods have too. Having said that, it's something I'd love to see. I just don't see it being competition for the SA in the long-run. -
If you add the IP address above that Amber gave you (the complete long number) into "favourites" then you should see it and be able to try and join.

Here me out on this one, FOOD Chain in DayZ

Here me out on this one, FOOD Chain in DayZ
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to LancerG2's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I like the idea of there being a natural food chain/ecosystem in the game, I just think our place in that food chain as a player is as a human survivor. People running round as deer, rabbits and bears etc. fills me with dread for many reasons. If I'm ever running round Cherno and get trolled by a rat it's time for me to find another game I think. -
Just like a mustache you don't throw it on, you got to grow it

Looks awsome. You built it and I came :/ -
DayZ Standalone Discussion
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to griffinz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Regarding the engine choice that's been discussed and explained at length over and over again. Most people seem unable to grasp what the game engine actually is or does and how that can change. It's like trying to bash your head against a brick wall when all people can see is Arma2 engine vs Arma3 engine. It's a lot more complex than that and Dean has explained the decision many times. The dev team is relatively small atm but will be growing considerably as they ramp up the progress. It's possible that eventually it will have the same resources made available to it that Arma 3 had. -
August Round-up: DevBlog, #DayZDaily, Gamescom
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to SmashT's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
It's probably been like that for about a year tbh. Nothing new there really. At least with the DayZ Daily tweets we can all just keep up with the new stuff. It sounds like it's their new approach and I like it. I much prefer these little but frequent nuggets of info over a larger blog. -

Dat logic. -
Life's unfair. So is DayZ sometimes. Suck it up and enjoy. Maybe next time play on a server that warns the players when it's going to restart, which is most of them.

DayZ Developer Blog 3rd August 2013
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I think you misunderstand. I don't KOS, if fact I play as a medic. I don't want to do that on PVE or roleplay servers though, for me they kind of defeat the whole social experiment that is Dayz. I'm just observing what I see and have seen over the last few months. I'll take my chances on the main public servers. It's just our opinions so none of us can be right or wrong. -
so, dayz is infact mainly pve, not pvp as i thought.
Fraggle (DayZ) replied to Johnny Trigger's topic in New Player Discussion
It's an Arma 2 thing. Remember that DayZ is a mod of a pretty old game that is a military sim. Arma 2 had no melee combat at all so the mod developers have done their best to shoehorn it in. Technically in the mod melee weapons are just modified sidearms. There's nothing more the devs can do about it because it's a mod.
