i think ppl have adapted to 1.8.1 zeds now and the complaining nearly stopped (?). so the 1.8.2 modifications like no more hitting while running and lowered damage are unnecessary now :) and since there are no 1pp vanilla servers worth playing on, the high aggro distance compensates the 3pp view around corners style at least a bit. @Jock McScottish you don't get infection by drinking from wells. at least i never did and changelog sais so too. what got me a few times before realizing were found full canteens which need to be boiled first. great server though :)

FR 34 / FR 129 RAID WINE Servers Thread
phL (DayZ) replied to facoptere's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
thx for the update :) i found items i never saw before: "D-Battery" "Hose-Clamp" (which was huge, like 50cm diameter) and Czech Vest Pouch has 12 item slots. also loot seems pretty high, 5 items per pile not uncommon. i'm not sure if these are regular things, just wanted to let you know. e/ i played on FR34 e2/ read about the increased loot, definitely too much for me. -
with the current amount of vanilla players/servers the pros of public hive are pretty much non existant to me. the cons overweigh more than ever. and there are good private vanilla hives with capable admins. but a semi public hive with only legit servers could be a nice thing though...

Has DayZ ever gotten you in real world trouble?
phL (DayZ) replied to trimpampano's topic in General Discussion
i work a lot in forests and after playing dayz constantly for a few days i got the "dayz scanning treeline and everything" paranoia at work. when i saw a deerstand i thought a few seconds about the loot i will find there. -

The best base spots in Chernarus
phL (DayZ) replied to teeheelols's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
the only place i feel save to put a tent is inside rocks. only 1-2 on the map as hoarding is a really unsatisfying thing to do for me. -
i'm 100% with you on the hardcore thing but i don't get why 3pp was put into this game after all. i know most ppl like 3pp and everybody wants the game to fit his preferences but i don't think dayz is the place for something like that. yes there are 1000 topics on that, i know...

The Woes of a Long Survival
phL (DayZ) replied to Mach1av3ll1's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
this is the main flaw in the dayz concept imo, you can just live in the woods by yourself forever. no need to go to a city or risk anything after you survived the initial gathering of the basic stuff. survived time counts for nothing. hopefully with depletable items this will change a bit. the ideal thing for me would be if surviving became harder with time (e.g. due to some medical condition which needs more treatment over time). atm you basically have to do something "stupid" because there is no other challenge. so the game becomes boring pretty fast if you don't want to do that and only pvp remains... -
at first i thought the zeds were like always, boring, no threat because not hitting you while you're running. but now i love them, since a long time i use proning because of zeds again and running from them is not always safe. i am scared now and that's great :) ppl have gotten so used to zeds beeing non existant but imo that's not what dayz is about. glad this patch took a step in the right direction.
-
some do some don't. dayz is not a game for everyone
-
they are? i don't see that... only with their attack, it can be scary now if you run into a zed around a corner and get instant attack/tackle :) also why shoot zeds? if i have aggro on me i search nearest building/bush/tree and axe zeds. isn't that the way to go? i tried the crossbow but i'd rather have axe + primary for pvp. sneaking up zeds is working great too. finding canteens is 50% of my game now^^

DayZ vs DayZero ('vanilla' DayZ mod)
phL (DayZ) replied to frosti's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
did so, they are (still) easier than vanilla zeds?! -
You want threatening Zombies? .. the mods got 'em
phL (DayZ) replied to Irish.'s topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
zeds in 1.8.0.3 are no threat imo, just cosmetic player alert.. unless they would remove melee completely ;-) i liked the insanely fast zeds on earlier build on dev server. a real threat and stealthy play was king. but not anymore since they turned them into even epoch player appealing pets again... -
i'd like to see "survive as long as possible" as the main goal in dayz but that's currently not possible. atm you have to seek action and risk your life illogicaly which is for me the main flaw of dayz(mod) gameplay... a certain ending is something i do not want, because end of game should be your death which is also not true atm because of hoarding and running back to your body. /oops SA section. but the hoarding will be introduced eventually.
-
15 mins no join on whole hive, body disappears after 15 min max. no sk cause kamenka spawn, no endless berezino shootouts. more value to player life.

Will you return to the vanilla DayZ mod when 1.8.1 comes out?
phL (DayZ) replied to whisperbow's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
i still play vanilla mod only... never touched SA so far and probably will wait another few months to see it coming around or failing. too bad it killed the mod. -
are you talking about the future content a.k.a. new hats? or surviving in the woods? (yea i never played SA...)
-
the ultimate formula for enjoying dayz again: forget about survival, forget about zeds and apocalypse, camp hard, kill every bambi, deathmatch only. use every possible advantage the game gives you like 3rdp, every bug, glitch (no cheating ofc...) because in the end dayz is nothing more than slowmotion (team)deathmatch. if you are honest. no other purpose / task / challenge. i'm friendly... :)

Persistent storage containers; do you like the idea or not?
phL (DayZ) replied to -MadTommy's topic in General Discussion
i like the idea of permadeath and the value of the characters life. in the mod tents removed the permadeath feature of dayz by giving ppl a rather cheap task. devs should come up with something better than hoarding. -
1.8.1 And The Future Of The Mod.
phL (DayZ) replied to MMaxamillion's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
as far as i know the mod is still in development and 1.8.1. will be a huge update (see changelog for details). the mod team has to get the ok from rocket to release the update though. they asked to do so a few weeks ago but rocket didn't comply because of the recent release of SA (sales and stuff i guess). -

A more realistic CAMPFIRE ingredients that is already available in game
phL (DayZ) replied to CGNoodlePot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
also you would need dried wood to make a campfire, freshly chopped doesn't burn that well and makes a lot more smoke. there should be many different ways/materials to start a fire with and the fire itself could also be different (size/visibility, amount of smoke...), i think most ppl would fail starting a fire with a hatchet and matches in rl... -
Bored of the endgame? Possible Solution!
phL (DayZ) replied to JackinatorLP's topic in General Discussion
there is no endgame in dayz mod and there will be no endgame in SA. once you're geared up it's basically game over and you have to find a way to die by doing risky things. then you can gear up again... or you play the deathmatch.
