This game runs just fine on my toaster and you should do something about your lawnmower.

Police cars completely gone? HELP GET THEM BACK!
heradon replied to theswedishcathead's topic in General Discussion
They still spawn, they spawn randomly around the police stations... -
I hope you never find a cow again.

What is the nicest thing you have done in DayZ
heradon replied to LORDPrometheus's topic in General Discussion
I let them live... -
IS THIS A NEW THING!? I am running out of pants...
heradon replied to harley001's topic in General Discussion
You should seek therapy. -
lol only noobs are using mountain backpack, esp the red one. If you want to be target practice you wear a mtn backpack. The slots isn't even necessary. Why? Because food and drinks are easy to find. No need to stack too much ammo either, you will get killed before you manage to use it anyway. But seriously they should add weight to this game...

You must be the one smoking. Because every single time I log in I'm stumbling on ppl. With 40 ppl server you are guaranteed to meet ppl at NWAF,NEAF, Berezino, Svetlo, Elektro, Cherno, Gorka, Polana, Novo, Balota. Only at very west on the map you would rarely see anyone, because it was nothing there before they added the military camp. It's difficult to not stumble on anyone on a 40 slot server today if you play a few hours. In a 1-5 hours session I always see ppl. I'm wandering all over the place, even if I've avoided the typical hot spots, I still meet ppl. -
I'm pretty much going to shoot at anyone that tries following me.
heradon replied to OptimumVision's topic in General Discussion
I learned everything from the first days in the mod. I don't get surprised, if someone that I just helped will try to shoot me or knock me down with their bare fists while I'm eating or looking for apples. I always know that shit like that is typical in Chernarus. The only thing that do surprise me, is that there is people out there who has still not learned this. First rule is "Never trust anyone, everyone is an asshole and want you dead". Only take risk if you doesn't bother you to get killed. I usually test people and lay out traps to see if I can trust them. I've met 14 people lately, 4 of them I still have contact with, 7 of them was friendly too. 2 freshspawns tried to kill me, I killed one and let the other go... I was a freshspawn with basic gear and axe I was at NEAF ATC. I noticed it had been someone there recently. I say hello, is there anyone there? I'm friendly. I don't get any answers. Suddenly someone shoots after me with a pistol but misses. Then he charge at me with a fireaxe. We dance in a circle near ATC and I hit him. Now he is bleeding, I run to the airstrip and keep him at distance. I try to bleed him out. It doesn't take long time before I realize that I'm too impatient. I turn around and swing with my axe. I hit him in the head, so he fall down on the ground. He don't have much. But I take the little he had and heads to Novo. Which I will later get KOS. So far I've never got killed by anyone that I've been interacting with, there been a couple of bad attempts,but that's it. Only KOS in SA which has happened a few times in places like Balota, NWAF, Berezino, Nova and Svetlo which was expected never outside those places. Never got robbed tho. Been playing for 80 hours. -

Not for me, because I'd like to hide my tent, vehicles and my stuff. There is less wilderness in SA than it was in the mod. Which means you can't even hide a can of beans in a bush with almost 100 people on the server. Less wilderness, and with 80-90 players which is almost twice as many compared to what we had in the mod. Even with a 50 slot server it was impossible to hide a few tents in the mod. Not sure if ppl used hacks to find em or not. Coz the first camp we had on our 50 slot server. Wasn't hidden well and it was huuuge. Still it took 3 weeks before someone with maphack to find it. Btw they won't be expanding the map any further. They said so in the first stream. They will only make improvments to old cities like Cherno and add more apocalyptic feel to it. -
Consolidated Weapons/Equipment suggestions

Doesn't matter for me as long it is still in alpha. More content ^_^ -
Why is this not being executed in game?
heradon replied to moartuba's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm too tired... I meant it isn't unusual to combine c++/cpp and lua scripts. Therefore the codes above wouldn't be Chinese to someone are known with lua. -

If you knew lua, that wouldn't be chinese for you. Because it's lua. -
The new Arma 3 engine is an updated version of the Arma 2 engine. What I've read they will be using the Arma 3 engine.

It's easy, a handful of birch bark and a single match. You're almost guaranteed to have a camp fire.
-
Matches would probably have 50 uses which means you will probably die before you've used every single one of them. You won't probably use more than 1-2 sticks per game session. And at current state ammunition and such are getting reset everytime when you log in and out. Which means you will have infinite uses...

You must be a newbie. The MK48 is the master of destruction. Terminates any zombie waves, the accuracy is 100% when you lay down, and the recoil become almost nonexcisting. The damage is also devastating and the magazine has a capacity of 100.DMR is handy when its night since you can use nightvision... AS50 with nato rounds can take out vehicles in a single shot. Perfect against vehicles and against human targets at range. Useless at night, since you won't be able to use nightvision with it.

Due to all the hacking and nothing being done about it
heradon replied to Razzle Dazzle's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Not possible. Battle Eye sucks and this is a mod, which means they can't do anything... -
Not sure if the engine can handle this, but this is my idea. I'd like to see more infected. Cities and other hotspots should be packed with LOADS of infected (Static spawns) and the re-spawn timer should be set off to 15-30min or something. This will also encourage people to cooperate, since you will easily use a few mags alone if not all of them. It will definitely be easier if you have a group. So when you clear out an area, then it's all clear for infected. Infected won't just randomly spawn like it does now... You will have time to pick up your loot without worrying about infected re-spawning too quickly. Areas with that packed with infected usually have more loot spawns or higher valued loot. You can also find good loot outside the cities and hotspots but it will be rarer and less high end equipments. So if you alone it will be smart to stay out of the cities, because they are packed of infected and loot can be found outside the cities/hotspots. I also like to see infected humans and creatures randomly roaming around in Chernarus. This would scare the shit out of people! I mean if there was a vicious infected bear walking around in the forest. Wouldn't that be extremely awesome and terrifying at the same time? One day you're chilling at your camp next to the campfire with beans and cola, it has been a long day and its dark outside. Then suddenly you hear some weird noises from the deepest of the wood. It's a roar from a vicious creature. You don't mind, It get quiet for a while again. A few min later suddenly you hear some noises. You look around and then you see two eyes in the darkness not far away from, it shines clearly in the moonlight. You can hear some sniffing noises, getting closer and louder. The creature can smell your survivors scent. It knows you're there, and its walking towards you. You start running, the creature starts running! You know you can't run away from it and you scream and run like a girl. You turn around and are firing from your pistol , you're emptying your magazines. The bear doesn't seem to be affected and its still running towards you.The bear is getting real close. Is this the end of your life? Out of nowhere hear a "clap" and the bear i stuck in a bear trap. You were lucky a hacker had randomly placed a bunch of bear traps around the area... So you live for another day. The human infected can be roaming around in groups but this is very very rare. All infected will spawn as runners, but like humans they will decay over time and become hungry, hunger will slow them down. They can regain energy by eating survivors or animals. Bitten creatures can also be infected, they will much like any other infected. You won't know if they are infected before you get close to them or making too much noises.

I don't think people that just started playing this game will find an ATV. If you're really lucky and find an ATV as newbie and you get tossed into the air first time. You should question yourself...
-
It's known out in the Chernarus that ATV will get tossed into the air if you try to cross a bridge or a dam. Even a little rock can turn to be something devastating...
-
People still try to get over the bridge with ATV lol.
-
Haha almost 1mil play, and this is an ALPHA mod and you say it fails. Of course it could be better if it was a standalone game. But HACKER/Script-kids and ALT-F4 losers are the biggest issue in this game.
-
PMC gives higher texture on survivors. BAF gives higher texture on camo, ghillie and LA85A AWS if I'm not mistaken. Without BAF.

You mean non-constructive criticism...

Thats how YOU decipher it.
