  1. 1737371. It's palindrome number everyone (same read backwards as it is normally). And for that, I raise a beer, and a salute to the counter.

    fast and slow reload

    Never thought of this. untilI hear a good argument, I'm in favour. I'm easily persuaded.

    Tandem Bicycle in DayZ

    Love it. Tandem bikes always remind me of Emily and Florence from Little Britain (the trannies): http://www.standard.co.uk/news/standard-pictures/article7335749.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/Rubbish+transvestites+Emily+and+Florence+arrived+by+tandem+bike+but+forgot+they+should+be+riding+side+saddle. I'd like to see a screenshot of two bandits riding through the countryside with candy floss or ice-cream in their hands. Beans for you OP. Runner up idea: one guy pushing another guy sitting in a shopping cart.

    Backpack solution for big items?

    We're onto something here with the wheel rolling. Will the new city sniper be a bambi bowler?

    Extreme hardcore server wanted?

    You could also try Birtish Sergeants Mess (Taviana Map) http://www.britishsergeantsmess.com/ You need to get whitelisted on their server first. I used to play there until I started playing Origins.

    Familiar Faces

    Put another notch on the old man belt. I roll as one too. With some sporty cycling styled glasses. Perhaps SA will bring us greater diversity.

    Key not accepted by server!

    using dayZ commander will help with much of your troubles, but before you run that, be sure you installed the game exactly as described on the DayZ wiki page.

    DayzDB map. Loot spawns?

    Yes it look like somewhere you could park a car. Just go in and target the ground.The loot is often not visible in that spot. It's underground, but your gear marker will pop up when you're over the right spots.
  9. I just came across this photo on the DayZ Devblog photo gallery of real places in Chernarus. I hope they model this "Dog ham" store as I've got the hankering for poodle. http://s1227.photobu...ml?sort=3&o=149

    The 1.7.7 update favorites

    I like it. I'd add the following to an upcoming patch: - make it possible to pick up certain gear and put them directly into your backpack, like jerry cans and car wheels, rather than play gear shuffle from main inventory to backpack. - remove the requirement to hold 'Shift" to boost in a car/motorbike. WTF is that nitrous injection? My fingers get sore. - Add some sort of auto run. I can still turn using mouse to avoid obstacles
  11. I always assumed this is how it's supposed to work except the temp is just broken for the moment. Namalsk has a good system I find except you get cold a wee-bit too often and too quickly.
  12. Since we're low on discussable topics, I just wanted to point out how much I appreciate the world created by BI and the Real Virtuality engine (all bugs, and texture, optimization issues aside). The devs have done some decent research and although it's dated, not exactly well optimized, and has many issues, I much prefer the feel of the world in general to say, the ultra-saturated, polarized-filter looking world of Far Cry 3. The skies are never that rich blue, the vegetation is drab and brown-ish (I especially liked the post-nuke Chernarus at the end of Arma 2...for those who've finished it), and just feels a lot more real than high-budget plastic planets in other games. For what it is, here's a round of applause to this brown, unforgiving landscape.

    DayZ Origins Camping Tent

    I had the sam eissue a few days back. I can't remember if I had a toolbox. Likely not. Anyway, since I now have a toolbox, I've been pitchin just fine.

    DayZ Mac Parrellels HELP!!!

    Rossums gave you some top-notch advice. Bootcamp will probably get you running. And investing in a copy of windows will be useful if you plan on continuing your PC gaming experience. Macs are not ideal for gaming in general, due to their cases limiting upgradeability. They're essentially overpriced PCs in a fancy case (I own a mac pro and a macbook). A starter gaming pc will set you back $500+ monitor, keyboard and mouse. GL

    Only Using the Hatchet

    You're in luck.Standalone will bring more melee weapons,and fewer high-end military. You'll soon get to see the life slip away from your fellow survivors as you dip your knife into their back while gently laying them down, whispering "Shhhh, shhhh...it'll be over soon"

    Police Station Project by Grimzentide

    A bit of constructive criticism here. That building looks bigger than anything in Chernarus. It needs to be a much smaller, architecturally appropriate building that fits the environment. This precinct is just oversized. I'd like to keep up the excellent level of research already done on-site by BI staff. Perhaps they can get reference photos of actual police buildings. Hopefully without getting arrested again.

    Attachments in DayZ

    Well said. Where did this monstrosity come from? I love how the shells are taped to the side of the receiver so when you need to speed-load you need to fumble with getting the sticky shit off your shells. I dare not go on. Anyway, as soon as I have my Enfield reassembled (getting refinished) I will personally tape a 3-9x scope to it and take it to the range for you. Yes, I will get laughed at while doing this. I will fire a box of .303s at 100 yards and will let you know how it goes. My guess is, badly.

    Weapon types (not the regular stuff)

    I like diversity in weapon condition/appearance. Maybe there could be a "gun inspection" view further down the development line, where you could appraise the condition of guns in detail, and even "spray" paint (once acquired) on the model to alter it's appearance. Not sure how that could be implemented, but a good suggestion.

    lets end pay to win servers.

    Donations can be legally give and accepted accepted, as long as they don't claim to be charities. Anyone is free to part with their money at their discretion, and free to decide where tehy wish to pay. There's no need to take any action here.

    Emotional death

    Just have a live-view camera looking down, and panning back from your body, or a lifeless 1st person stare for a few seconds fading to black (or mix it up) This would allow you to see players approaching, zeds feeding on you or whatever.
  23. No rant.I mean it. I really find the landscape, despite the lack of minute detail to be more real than modern AAA games.

    My trouble with direct chat

    I don't like direct chat either. Something about giving a stranger the RL "Hi how are ya?" that makes me feel like I'm on a dating chat line or an awkward first date.
