Daddy'o (DayZ)

We're having a nerd 3 way tonight. Wanna come? The more the merrier.

Try throwing cans and bottles at them, that always works for my girlfriend when she's trying to score a hit in my face.

No women on the Internet, as we all know! They're all outside. Doing feminine stuff. Like, smelling nice and getting a tan. Not brutalizing zombies with assault rifles in a dimly lit room!

He's coming on to you. Which makes me irk because I'm picturing you irl behind that avatar and signature and pink color, and if I was him, I wouldn't :D EDIT for clarity. I'm imagining something between a male trucker and an otaku. EDIT2: no offence <3

Aye I don't doubt the truth in that. However I personally prefer staying respectful to rocket and his vision, flawed it may be at points. I believe he'll eventually break up the hive as is. He's only mainly running the hive system to gather data to better develop the mod as it is :)

My group usually plays pretty much every day, but as most have kids, jobs and studies, they tend to play very late compared to my timezone, but buds are buds. So I bought another character to be able to solo play while the other character stays with the group. Third I bought to do some meta gaming. You'll see a thread popping up about it, something completely new, today or tomorrow :) Altho you can play as many characters at the same time as you want. For instance I've double boxed 2 characters at Stary Sobor so that the other person sits on the south hills overlooking the city with an L85A2 thermal and AS50 and the other runs around the tents looting and scouting. All I need to do is alt tab in between the two.

Naughty naughty, stealing Rocket's n his teams hard work for your own nefarious reasons.

Take it from someone with 3 characters... it's totally worth it ;)

Reported for racism. Also, you think it's greedy to want to get paid for your full-time hard work, while at the same time greatly improving the user experience?

Here's how to have 2 characters (you'll need another copy of Operation Arrowhead). http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/32599-dual-boxing-accounts-step-by-step-guide/#entry314199

I think you're right. Lets remove them as well B)

I say he gets it completely. Survival is easy, getting stuff is a chore. What do you do then? Sit in a bush just to live longer? Nope, you get bored and you start to find adrenaline from pvp. I don't understand why people who aren't yet at this point (the majority of the pvp whiners) don't have the foresight to see this is exactly where they will end up themselves.

I'm sure, when the standalone comes out, the mod will receive a couple final updates to sort out some of the bigger issues, then it's wrapped up and left alone, where all the new content is made for the standalone. It wouldn't make sense for the DayZ team to develop the standalone for their own money AND also develop a free mod for the ArmA 2 community that only profits BIS.

1. Rocket has already said there is very little what the mod can do more to combat hackers. It's an arma 2 and Battleye issue. 2. Rocket aims for realism. Buying goods for karma isn't realistic. Would be sweet though to go to a gun store in real life and say "I've been a good boy, can I have that hunting rifle?" :D

I'm one of the people who bought Combined Operations solely for DayZ, since then I've bought 2 more copies of Operation Arrowhead for more characters. So I now own ArmA 2 and 3 copies of OA. I've spent about 50 euros on this total, but I for one realize I paid this money to Bohemia Interactive, and not to Rocket and the DayZ team. The DayZ mod for arma 2 is and will continue to be a free commodity. It's a great mod with a great direction, made by a group of people with great vision, and none of them are getting ANYTHING out of it. Hence, if and when the standalone comes out, I will be throwing money at it more eagerly than a married man to a stripper. Also, Rocket himself stated on a live stream interview that he does not see any other way for a standalone to work but having everyone pay the same price tag for it, including those who now have bought arma 2 for DayZ. He said he sees it as a challenge for the developers, to make the stand alone rich enough in content to merit the price tag.

Man I hate when people spew around the 'epic' word, but anyway it's cool. Love the music!

Well... If you really want to find out, go on a pretty much empty server with less than 5 people on, that has night time and server time in between 00:00 and 03:00, and go to green mountain, inside the perimeter and sit there for about an hour in the dark. You'll see.

Hacked. Sorry.

were you within 1km from Green Mountain?

Green mountain is... a terrible place. Get out as fast as you can. And what ever you do, DO NOT SPEND THE NIGHT THERE. I can't stress this enough. Jesus.

Well, as it stands, survival is easy. Getting good gear is a chore. What's left is killing people. You don't have anything else to do to keep you entertained. Until you do, don't expect a change.

The heart beat thing starts up when your invisible humanity figure goes below 0. I've heard it can persist through death though, so at best I would assume it's buggy at times.

Resetting day time cycle to favor any time of 24 hour cycle over the rest is against the hive rules.

This is a copy paste from one of my previous forum posts. Someone asked this a few days back: Bandit system still works the same as it did when the humanity system was still in place. You just don't get the bandit skin anymore. Meaning, there's still a humanity meter you can't see. Every shot you take at another player lowers it, and every murder drops it by a significant amount. It will also replenish slowly over time and doing transfusions on other players or bandaging other players replenishes it as well. Killing other bandits might replenish your humanity as well. Not sure. The game considers you a bandit when your humanity is less than 0, meaning a negative figure. Every fresh spawn starts with 12,000 (or was it 24,000?) positive, and every kill drops about 2000 or 5000 I think? Not sure on the number, sorry. It does also have some sort of a cumulative effect and I don't know the specific details. Firefights run the exception that if you are shot first, and hit, you get a 5 minute timer to kill that person without humanity loss, although it will still count as either a murder or a bandit kill depending on how much humanity the person has who shot you. So basically, if you get a few consecutive kills in short time, don't do much transfusions nor bandaging of others, your humanity will drop below 0 and you will be considered a bandit, and when you kill another player it counts as a murder if his humanity is over 0 and a bandit kill if his humanity is below 0. You'll know the game considers you a bandit when other people get a heart beat sound when they aim at you. When they don't, you're still above 0 humanity. Though I've heard this has not been working as intended, and sometimes you would still have the heartbeat sound from your last life even after a fresh spawn. If you found this helpful, beans would feed my family one more day ^_^

it's the new script kids are using to replace and mess around with peoples inventories.
