congrats Hellspawn US469 on your DC/Ghost kill
DarkRaven123 replied to osiriszoran's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ha! Epic. Better luck next time OP. -
Dog tags on survivors?
DarkRaven123 replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
+1 good idea. Even if you represented it as an ID, it would still give the basic stats of the person you killed. ID is realistic, even the most hardcore have to admit. -
I don't even see this fitting in with the Bandit campfire. You shot an unarmed survivor in the back, congratulations?

NZ 20 - Nuked Twice in an Hour - Details Inside
DarkRaven123 replied to floomoo's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Unfortuantely, i've just been made aware, as you all will be soon, that a new undetecable hack has been leaked to the public. You will see Nuking a whole lot more now. -
I think the better question is to ask why exactly you felt you needed to either "Brag" or obtain some sort of "Peer acceptance" that you feel you need to validate yourself.

http://www.pcgamer.c...llels-to-day-z/ For those not bothering to click the link : Here’s a breakdown of features, taken verbatim from the press release: Big open worlds to explore between 200 to 400 square kilometers Two modes of play: Normal and Hardcore Combination of first-person and third-person perspectives Meld of PvE (player versus environment) and PvP (player versus player) Strong Role Playing Elements Multiple playable characters with customizable features Unique social elements, including bounties, help requests, trap setting, etc. Safe settlements where players can purchase, sell and store items as well as post notes for other players Dozens of unique skills that can be learned and improved Up to 250 players per game server New weapons and items become available as players explore the game world Full developer support with regularly scheduled, free content updates Dedicated public servers as well as private servers that can be completely self-managed in game client Single purchase, downloadable client with ability to play full game without subscriptions or requiring in-game transactions What do you guys think? Honestly, if they get the same general feel of the game right, and have a better inventory system implemented at the start, I can see it poaching a fair amount of users. The hardcore will stay here of course, but the majority, will possibly head over, as it sounds like a much more accessible game. Also, does anyone know who is backing Hammerhead?

You know, I actually did search. Ah well, thats what happens when you sleep when America is awake. -
Current Beta - 94945 - Issues (Post here please?)
DarkRaven123 posted a topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
I personally am getting stuck on "Wait for host." I'd like to see how many other people are having this issue. I've also had "Dayz_anim requires CA_Dubbing_Counterattack" I'm seeing alot of people having "Battleye Initialisation failed" also. *Possibly fixed? I'd like a response on this issue if possible, even just to say "Can't fix, wait for next beta." Edit : I have just tried the "Manual update of Battleye" by downloading the latest .DLL file, and it has provided no fix for me. This is how you attempt it : - Download the latest CLIENT version for Win-32. : http://www.battleye.com/download.html - Navigate to your ARMA 2 folder. - > ARMA2/Expansion/Battleye - Copy the .DLL into that folder, overwriting the other one. It didn't work for me, but it is possible that it will fix the "Battleye initialisation" problem. EDIT: FIXED. Ok so basically the newest beta was stuffing up the connectioning. If you have recently updated, and you have overwritten your 94876 beta, it should be in the recycle bin. Restore it! Then go to your copy of the Beta patch 94876 and install that too. Do the usual thing, moving the beta of arma2OA.exe to the main folder if you own a steam version. Then download and install the v1.11 / v1.60 version of battleye and install that. You SHOULD be able to connect to servers now. TL;DR : - Restore previous beta .EXE from recycle bin. - Run the 94876 patching .EXE. - Download http://www.battleye.com/downloads/arma2/BEClient.dll - Replace the .DLL in Arma2OA/Expansion/Battleye And you're done. -
Do you ever feel like getting awesome guns is a waste?
DarkRaven123 replied to Shard (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Honestly I'm in Cherno now with an M14 AIM. And i'm not having any fun at all, i'm so paranoid about losing my gun. Give me an Enfield/Winchester any day. -
All the cool kids are doing it!

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS SHIT. I logged out right on green mountain, at night time, as all ANZ servers are still night. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THAT. Someone come and meet me there.. Please?
-
I actually found my first satchel charge on Sunday. Can't wait to use it. I'm thinking in the Cherno church or supermarket.
-
The person who killed you last night is a douchebag.
-
Are you making sure you have rolled back Battleye as well? I think that was a big part of the wait for host problem. Go to the Battleye site and install the v1.11 .DLL. I'd try to help more, but I'm actually at work sending this from my Phone.

I play DayZ to Roleplay
DarkRaven123 replied to Powell (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I wish there was a follow poster option. I'd follow the shit out of ZDB. The only problem I have is the duping. It's the only reason you see so much high end Military hardware - M107s and such. -
Whats the chances of finding satchel charges?
DarkRaven123 replied to aBipolarTree's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Sounds like they had two or three satchels, while very rare still possible. And it might have been a Helicopter crash in Elektro. -

I found one at NWAF yesterday. Can't wait to put it in a supermarket. -
Military Grade Vs Civilian Grade Weaponry
DarkRaven123 replied to MeatAbstract's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I pretty much stick only to titles. Whether it's an Enfield or the M14 Aim. My dream weapon is either the As50 or the m107. I actually had an M107 for about 45 mins, shot three dupers (or hackers, they had a tonne of stuff spawned) and looted all their stuff. Best 45 mins of my life. Shot like 3 zombies, as we weren't game enough to go into a town and kill people. Ended up dieing to a mysterious sniper in the middle of nowhere. -
Dayz becomes stand-alone game, what happens to us?
DarkRaven123 replied to erikgmez's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Anyone who can honestly say they don't want to purchase the retail version of the game must be on welfare. This is the game that PC gamers have been lusting after for a long time. If you have played PC for 5+ years you would understand. Games these days aren't even remotely exciting anymore, this is the first one to genuinely make my heart pump. -
Why don't you go and camp the NWAF? At least then you might get some sort of thrill. E: "I kill newbs because they are shit at this game, so I like teaching them a lesson by shooting them from a place they wouldn't know where to look for me. I do it for their own good, because i'm such a genuinely good guy. People that go onto roofs not knowing that nothing spawns up there are my main targets, its so fun killing people when they have no idea what they are doing."
-
I haven't seen any whatsoever for the ANZ servers. I hope they renig this change.

evolution of shoot on sight?
DarkRaven123 replied to dreman04's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
While I understand that some people want that sincere immersion into the game world, and have been given it through the removal of Side/Global chat, I think that it will hurt the game in the long run. I mean, and lets be honest here, the people that wanted Side/Global gone were 2 week+ Vets of the game, and they are on Mumble/TS/Whatever with their group of friends. Isn't that taking away immersion as well? I think the removal is just so the people who got sick of hearing newbies ask wtf do I do on global don't have to hear it anymore. And, it ruins a very large and enjoyable aspect of the game IMHO. Put yourself into the shoes of someone who has never played before. I'd get sick of the game after getting shot while having nothing on me, nor knowing where I was or knowing what buildings I need to look in. I understand the realism part, and the immersion people want, but quite frankly, this game caters SPECIFICALLY to veterans now. I loved helping out newbies through side chat. Meeting up with them, regardless of the outcome. While a large portion of the playerbase hates this kind of "Carebearing," I can assure you, I am very much a bandit. I have 11 kills on my char that has been alive for 3 hours. But when it comes to people with only axes or completely unarmed running around looking only to find a can of food.. I have a soft spot. I remember what it was like having no idea what I was doing. I actually ran to a zombie thinking it was a person on my first life. The only way you can actually organise anything in this game now is externally. Via a VoIP. Which, IMO, ruins the immersion FAR MORE than side chat. The choice to remove the Global chat has definately contributed to shoot on sight. Though I have met more than a handful of friendlies, who have survived alongside me until they got shot themselves. And I have to say, those meetings are what make this game what it can be. Not this pre arranged shoot on sight team culture that is currently happening. Not that it will ever change, there is no incentive whatsoever if you have decent gear, or a team of friends to be a "good" player. Whats the point of risking yourself, honestly? -
I prefer to go to Elektro and kill the people who camp the Apartment and the sniper hill. Its much more exciting.

Stary Sobor a waste of time?
DarkRaven123 replied to mccullxch's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There are around 15 deer stands reachable within about an hour if you go up the West side above Kamenka, onto Bor and so on. They all spawn military gear. Or perhaps you should spend your time looking for Heli crash sites. If you just run into the tents without actually looking to see if anyone is there, you deserve to die. -
Beta version 94945 has casued many players to be unable to even join servers, myself included. Look here for how to revert : http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33028-current-beta-94945-issues-post-here-please/ Unfortunately, until they release another beta version, we have to use 94876.
