Disgraced

It's always so touching seeing an announcement that someone is quitting. Cue the violins...release the doves... Or is that violence and dogs? I can never keep that straight. Best if we just do it all. We'll try to limp on without you < insert name of guy leaving>, somehow. EDIT: apologies to the letter R

Funny people are always mentioning stairs. I've been killed by rocks, ladders, walls... Never had a problem with stairs.

Punctuation. Check it out.

The game is going into a different cycle. It's not at the discovery phase any more. It's not about the same creative energy that it once was. It now needs to be in the hands of developers and programmes. I think Mr. Hall prefers the clangor of initial discovery and not the plodding of the current cycle.

OP, you're just the type that likes to kill other people's pixel bundles. In my book, that was a douche move... I just happen not to care. I hate when people do this crap to me, but it's all part of the game. have fun.

They've added more military bases and more locations for military spawns to the map for standalone, but yes, the Berezino tents are gone. Including the one near the hospital. For the compass, this works quite differently. you drag it to your hotbar, then select that number. Then you press 'space' to make it 'active' and look at the bottom edge of your screen in first person. To run again you have to press space again to lower the compass.

I think that I had already reached the conclusion that 1.8.0.3 would be the final patch for the mod given the extended amount of time since it's release... I agree that the mod will always be around. This thread kinda sorta confirms what I thought all along. With the SA around, the mod is now in it's final form, at least officially.

I feel like people should be forced to watch these kinds of things before getting access to post on the forums...

Play Dayz Mod. It's a completely different experience. Or go play something else while the alpha develops further.

The OP just wants to know why the mod has not seen a patch that was supposedly being worked on 5 months ago. No, he's not entirely accurate in what he's saying, but he's saying that the mod feels ignored in deference to the standalone which is now (from HIS perspective), being 'abandoned' by it's original creator. I disagree with the sentiments about Dean Hall and the standalone but completely agree about the mod 1.8.1 patch. Fish or cut bait. If the mod is not going forward further, then someone in charge of it needs to stand up and say so. I prefer to play the mod because it has more to do. I play the standalone only sporadically to see how it's coming along when it's patched up. Is the mod dead from a development standpoint? It would be interesting to know.

Some kind of inside joke? wakaranai....

He clearly likes the startup enviromnent without a lot of structure. Dayz has evolved to require structure and all that that entrails (sic). Best of luck and it will be interesting to see what you come up with next...

If I was designing it, non-pristine bandages would only be able to stop a certain level of bleeding and have a greater chance of infection.

I usually found them in the woods up north parked in a clearing. Other people would repair them for me in advance! Sometimes I would fly around and them put them back where I found them. Same with driving cars. I think that most of them were, for a long time, being kept at base camp co-ordinates "off map". Didn't they remove that possibility?

You get used to the signs. That's Olsha and Berezino. You're in the northeast and if you want somewhere large, you'd follow the Berezino sign- hospital and lots of residential spawns including three apartment buildings (two close enough together that you can cross between them on the roof). Part of Berezino is the lumber mill which has lots of industrial spawns and there's a ... School house as the call it as well. That sign is also probably relatively close to the northeast airfield. Look up and make sure the clouds are moving from left to right and you might find it. In the mod, Berezino has a couple of military tents as well. I could count on finding a bicycle in Olsha 9 times out of 10 and there's a very tall comm tower you can climb on a hill near Olsha. Anyway, over time you get used to the map.

Edit: my lost became redundant while I was typing it.

Clouds move east. Pretty sure the Little Dipper is roughly east at night. You can also parallel roads and read road signs. Compass is pretty easy to find though as stated above.

Alright, I've jumped back in and been playing some 1.8.0.3 because I can only play so much standalone as there's not much to it so far... It seems that Epoch is quite popular. I run my Dayz's on Steam and I'd like to give Epoch a try. Presumably I have to download something... somewhere... and then connect to a server of some kind. 1. How do I get the necessaries to play epoch? 2. Will it mess up my ability to play 'vanilla' Dayz Mod (overwrite files, &c.) I have never been able to get sixwhatever or dayzcommander or whatever to work and they seem to have shovelware attached. How do I epoch?? Thanks, Dis

Oh that makes it sound boring. I like it to be challenging. Ah well. Thanks.

I never got the chance to compare. I picked up an SKS, then put it back down and it vanished. http://www.dayzdb.com/items?type=28-rifle

There are people who don't have Garry's Mod?

Zeroing just means that you will hit center at 100 meters if centered to 100 meters. If you're closer, you have to compensate. You'd have to look at how trajectories work in Dayz. Peopple will come into this thread with diagrams and super-sniper knowledge any time now. It's a badge of honor in the community to be gun savvy.

I did exactly this. I put each one to a specific number in the hotbar. No matter how I did it, though, the second canteen stayed at 10% until I dropped the first one in the road and went back. Maybe I'm CRAZY!!!!! Edit: I wonder if it's because my second one was not empty....

I'm not sure this is a hack. There are latency problems all over the place. Did you check the 'P' screen to see desync rates for yourself and other players? I think everyone is quick to shout 'hack'. I only have anecdotal experience. Are there any CONFIRMED hacks (by the developers or server owners, not like the experience of OP which I think is desync)?
