Then they shouldnt advertise it as a zombie survival game then, when there's no zombie threat and no survival It wasn't me that necroed this -
Has Anyone Else lost Faith in Dayz?
thelonewarrior replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Discussion
I lost faith in this a while back 2 years of the mod And now nearly a year of SA Just because they say don't buy this yet in big capital letters actually means they don't have to finish the game.....ever And they know this and did when they released the SA Sure we have cool things like ragdol physics now, but the core elements arnt there It's advertised as a zombie survival game, but it isn't How long is it going to take people to realise it doesn't take nearly a year to create zombies that actually work amoung other bugs I played this for a long time and gave up after nothing really got added, zombies are still heavily bugged (tried it yesterday to see if anything had changed) and in fact they are far worse to fight, not because they are hard but because they are seriously bugged as shit This game will never be what it claims to be or anything close to that We get a small update with a load of new clothes and guns now and again and some features (like hunting) that won't have any relevance for at least another couple of years (when the game is apparently finished and you need to hunt because of lack of food (again, won't happen, people will just cry over that)) All in all, I've stuck by it a long time, and in a year I'll come back and say "I told you so" and you'll say " come back in a year or two " The one thing that really gets me is there is always some topic about people being unhappy with the game, or have come back after a few months and are disappointed at the progress and many people giving up playing And yet these people are ignored or outright insulted, if they hadn't already paid for the game this would be a major red flag of losing potential customers, oh but wait they have already paid ............ -
Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
thelonewarrior replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
What happened is someone probably sniped you, I say this every time and people refuse to believe that I've NEVER been one shot by a zombie in hundreds is hours of gameplay, and the two or three times It looked like I did, someone would eiether turn up a few minutes later to loot me and get shot by my friends or bail out and run One time one of our group got "1 hitted by a zombie" not a single one of us heard the shot, ten seconds later a guy comes running in a beeline for the body, spots us waiting, takes a shot (and again, not a single one of our 3 remaining people heard a shot, just saw smoke from his muzzle ) The sound in this game Is bugged to shit, I've played this game to death and these so called "common" OP zombie hits can be explained by you getting shot and not hearing the sound because of a game bug 99% of the time Even if you have friends, doesn't mean the guys is gonna shoot at them too, I've had plenty of people take a shot at one of us, only to realise there's 4-5 more in hiding and they run, even snipers -
Player spawn is the cause of all evil
thelonewarrior replied to nishka's topic in General Discussion
Except why does anyone need to go that way? You can find a mosin and a long range scope in berezino, elektro or NEAF and enough food to last a month Do we do need more spawns, or like I've said before if no one wants new spawns, delete the rest of the map and call it berezino banditz because there's no reason to go west -
Proactive Players Creating New Layers
thelonewarrior replied to leviathanapsu's topic in General Discussion
We tried something like this a while ago: Ourselves (about 6 in my group) And about 10 CQF guys 1 trusted medic 4 friendly players who joined in to help Here's the video: So if you need someone to be on guard duty, I already spend most of my days (when I play) patrolling the coast, hunting bandits so sitting around is something I'm used to I haven't played in a while but I'm always up for coming back for big stuff like this And by the way, deathtax will attempt to destroy you, but he at least made it fun last time -
Zombies are weak, they need to be stronger...
thelonewarrior replied to battlerhd's topic in General Discussion
Sorry but it's never going to happen They tried it in the mod Much RAGE followed and they got nerfed again Most people who wanted a zombie game have stopped playing, leaving mostly a PVP crowd Changing the zombies and making them harder will lose a lot of the community at this point I understand why they haven't made them a threat, it's because a lot of people playing are just interested in shooting people I personally think it's far too late to make this a zombie survival game now instead if a drawn out PVP death match If they had started with working zombies and survival stuff it would have become a zombie survival game But they started out with useless zombies, And keep adding guns and ways to kill people, so it's become a death match -
Have to relog every 10 minutes because...
thelonewarrior replied to t1337dude's topic in General Discussion
This happened to me, I can confirm Yesterday I was shooting some zombies with a LRS mosin for practice, reloaded and fired 2 of 5 rounds when I got hit by a zombie that must have spawned nearby and my gun didn't work, it was pristine and so was the ammo I managed to lead it off a cliff and spent a few minutes trying to work out what happened, I tries unloading the bullets, reloading a different set but it didn't have any effect I relogged and after that it was fine even after being hit by a zombie Could be related, might have just been desych -
I'm lost Why are people complaining that they spawn too fast or that you can't shoot them because more come I spent some time exploring and didn't see a single zombie in the first 3 towns, I finally found a large town, shot a zombie 3 more turned up and that was it, no more spawned after that Same thing happened in the next town, had maybe 5-6 zombies spawn and then no more spawned Oh my god it's sooooo hard

A friend and I had a fantastic zombie experience for the first time
thelonewarrior replied to Sirwarriant12's topic in General Discussion
That's sounds like fun This would be the norm if the Devs would increase their threat level, as they stand they are stilll easy to survive against most of the time I wish people were forced to make tough desicians like "shoot zombies and maybe alert other players" or "Use melee and be quiet but take a massive risk as zombies can actually kill you in seconds if careless" instead of the current " I'll just casually pretend they arnt there while I run around this city shooting every other player" attitude But that's not gonna happen, so I'll keep in dreaming -
AI Glitch or weapon glitch that got my serviving character killes
thelonewarrior replied to msadler's topic in General Discussion
Yes the melee is a problem, but I've never been killed by a zombie in one hit since the game came out Here's what really happened Zombie killed you in on hit ===== player saw you distracted By a zombie and sniped you No gunshots ======== a known sound glitch, plenty of times I've had someone right next to me shooting full auto and I hear no shots, but can hear the other guy 300m away shooting at me and vise versa Gear was gone = backs up my theory, they shot you and hid your body -
So whats every one gonna build/fortify when all that gets added?
thelonewarrior replied to Sirwarriant12's topic in General Discussion
To be fair, most people are going to build a wall around every spawn point do no one can play -
I used to do this a lot until every single one of them made a beeline to kill me after shooting zombies or bandits I was however on experiemnt and me and another guy were talking about how we were gonna die of starvation as we hadn't found food in hours when we suddenly started finding piles of food in houses and backpacks with gear I'd like to think it wasn't just a coincidence and that someone heard us talking and decided to leave us some stuff as there were 3-4 good items in each pile (including guns and ammo in places they don't spawn), in only houses with closed door and not in a way they can spawn like that

Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
thelonewarrior replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
Err yes I played a bit after reading your post Where is the problem? I wasn't a newspawn but fired a shot and killed every zombie in one hit with a Fire axe I realised pretty quick the melee is different but just aim low and they die in one hit, no problem -
Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
thelonewarrior replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
Zombies arnt even a threat yet and still we get complaints Would you like me to ask the Devs to start you with a silenced mega gun with auto targeting? -
Have you ever given guns and ammo to freshspawns?
thelonewarrior replied to HeroAtDay BanditAtNight's topic in General Discussion
A trick I used to do was give them a magnum with one bullet (as it showed the same amount with one bullet Or many) I usually had a press vest on so could take the hit, most of the time I kept moving and they would miss I never died once using this tactic, don't know if it still works as Ive not played in a while Best thing about that is that if they miss, in those few seconds where they are trying to make follow up shots with their now empty gun is that you can calmly tell them why they are going to die -
Will someone please explain to me...
thelonewarrior replied to Macdeth's topic in General Discussion
I have the same issue. I also have a spare keyboard and it's exactly the same It can take 8-9 button presses sometimes to draw An item from the hot keys I always keep my computer up to date and bought a brand new computer when the standalone came out I had the EXACT same problem on both systems with both my keyboards It's NOT lag, otherwise how do you explain I can drag the item to my hands and it INSTANTLY equips it and sll other things are instant yet the hotkey can take 8-9 tries sometimes Desych doesn't just decide to affect one series of buttons Personally I think it's something in the game code that's been overlooked and assumed to be lag -
Yeah I came back after some time away and was disappointed to All they seem to be doing is adding more guns and areas I'm doubtful we will ever see any zombies that are of any use Sure they are working on the path finding, but they still hit like a wet paper towel Verchiles too, gonna be a while before we see them The zombies probably won't be done for at least another year, most players arnt interested in them and just want pvp so I doubt it's a high priority

I can see where your coming from but that isn't the case Open the filter and search "clan" You will see the screen FILL with "CLAN ONLY OR BAN" servers, this is just the beginning Imagine now that the devs give even more tool to the admins in the future The mod ended up with admins able to view where other players were, what they had, even what they were seeing They could use LEGAL teleports, maphacks, spawning in gear and verchiles Plenty of mod servers like this, the SA will only have the same thing happen, because lets face it: Nothing is going to happen in our defence, they arnt shutting down these kind of servers and most likely wont ever do that and because its not "Hacking", you cant ban them
-
A simple setting so that it takes 5 mins before the server is restart when a admin restarts it would solve this Sure it might be a little annoying, but no more annoying than a chance at getting killed while remaining ingame after you leave for 30 seconds This way if an admin dies and they try to restart they won't get their stuff back as in that 5minute delay their character will save as dead

Why Randomly Spawning All Over The Map Is A Bad Idea
thelonewarrior replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Since when does anyone spawn down by kamenka Your first picture stating the current spawn points is incorrect I've not spawned there for monthes Everytime I've spawned it's been from solnichny upwards, never any lower on the map -
Make server restart warning compulsory
thelonewarrior replied to General Zod's topic in General Discussion
Apart from the items people place on the ground each with their own conditions and ammo amounts, dead bodies, doors that are opened and closed, the grinding pain of a server that's been running constantly without removing excess data Yep no other reasons at all -
Make server restart warning compulsory
thelonewarrior replied to General Zod's topic in General Discussion
Wow 100% yes I made a post like this right near the beginning of dayz SA It was about 80% yes back then and nothing has changed yet From from the development point of view this is a very minor issue, don't expect them to implement it even though not a single person voted no so far -
