Disgraced

What people don't like is arcade-like mechanics. Particularly vitriolic responses are reserved for game mechanics similar toothed MP FPS games (I haven't played them), like the Battlefield series of Call Of Duty. For instance, I bet that's why we can use axes and crowbars but not knives just now. And there will likely never be knife throwing, for example, in DayZ. The general community wants a certain feeling of authenticity, but certainly everyone accepts certain facets. Having to eat, or starve, seems to add a psychological note of realism. Having it take real life weeks would not even be a slight threat to the players current life. Likewise, thirst. It is "arcade-y". But it still persists because it adds what I think of as a note of realism. Same with many things. I can put a full Jerry can of fuel into my backpack? Um..... But I could conceivably carry one. But not run with it forever or even walk... It is, indeed, pseudo-realism. But again, the mod currently has a strong feeling of authenticity. I run faster than a normal human and never tire, but I get out of breath and it causes my aim to be off.. The whole point is that the game gives a certain feel lacking elsewhere, and anything that pushes toward that feel of existing games is going to get very stiff backlash, here. It's good to remember that mechanics are being tested. So sure, none breaking and bleeding can be a pain in the ass, but getting a broken bone doesn't crash the game. Bleeding can lead to unconsciousness. Zombies hitting you does not cause an exception error, &c. Yes, there are in game bugs that fuck your character/avatar/icon over. But the mechanics "work" in game, and we are all bitching to have them tweaked a certain way. That is for beta. For now, it's focusing on the actual game breakers, not the things that make a player pissed because they lost their good loot. I'm enjoying the game and have been for just less than two months. The forums are mostly a place to troll, get the rare useful suggestion, help coherent new players and find out about announcements from those developing the mod. Like real life, most of it is chaff. Separate your grain in a high wind area.

Don't worry. It's a fun idea and really, only a couple of people have done this, and not like this. Keep on keeping on. Some people lack imagination and like to crush it out of other people.

This is more like role playing which some don't go for. This is fun stuff, but pushes beyond some peoples boundaries of game vs life. Most would just disconnect because they don't want the experience. It's not pure win like scoping n00bz from the Stary hillside. Things like this are why I have been hoping for a more role play related server. You need a group of people wanting things like this. How about the option to knock someone out? I know it's more of a movie trope, but it makes for interesting possibilities. Anyway....

As I said,I lost one swapping in one of the barracks rooms at the airfield in preparation for some backpack swapping. .... I don't know if things can clip through the floor there....

Be really careful in the boathouse. Climbing down the ladder dropped me into the water and adios gear. Then I bumped the wall of the boathouse while in the water. Bye blood and bones...

I don't know. Even reading what is said here, I think it has problems. I was swapping primaries from main slot to the ground, and I had a main disappear. I just now have o e in my backpack (can't find magazines). How does the above advice work? Drop A Pull B from backpack... Switch B with A on the ground Put A into pack Pick up B Is that how it works? I haven't done this before, but I'm resigned to losing one of these primaries at some point before I can get my tent set up.

Does not work on many hardcore servers... I think it's tied in to the flags set to 0 for a certain level.

The biplane has a very short length for take off and landing. It could be landed in a number if fields. I would. Prefer an ultralight, but there are no models in the game.

Only works at night... Sometimes doesn't work at all.. At least one weapon in the wiki with a flashlight says it doesn't actually work.

I had a weird variant of this happen. I have an SVD with NO ammo. I found an M4a1 CCO (I think)... I pick up the new gun, dropping the SVD. In the woods, I shuffled my inventory to free 10 back pack slots. I head back in and swap the SVD for the other gun... But the other gun disappears... Not on the ground anywhere I still put the SVD in my pack so next time I won't have to do that shuffling. I found another nice rifle later in the other barracks building.

North American and proud of it lol.

According to Ander, there should be NO legit flying helicopters in game. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=26982&pid=255265#pid255265

The best boat to get is the PBX. It's very fast and doesn't use fuel to quickly. Yes, if you log out and log back in you will most likely be in the water. They drift. That lea right back to the land vehicle problem. Going to shore, saving the boat and hoping for the best. DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. If the fuel is flashing red, hit shore IMMEDIATELY. There is no option if you are stuck out in the water. Nothing. You have to swim in. And wow, is swimming sllloooooooww. And of course the flag that can be turned on or off for losing your gear while swimming....

Well, looks like I'm in.. See you all Monday (I play daytimes during the week).

I don't think this has ever been tracked down definitively. I get it on some servers (less commonly than I used to around 1.7.0), but it seems to have no ill effect.

Soooo... Is anyone using this? For 2.99, I usually at lest expect better reviews. It seems that a lot of people have issues with it crashing... iPad 2 iPhone 4 Droid x Those are the platforms I use... Is this working ok for you on any of these?

To play with a cracked version: 1. Place a large dildo on your chair, without lube, pointing upward. 2. Sit forcefully down on your chair 3. ???? 4. Profit If you play with cracked games, you suck.

How about if a voice says stuff like "DOUBLE KILL!!!" Cough.

If you can't afford a few dollars for a game, you are in th wrong hobby. You can't steal a cracked copy of a video card or main board when yours goes out. Take up a cheaper hobby.

Mostly it's people screwing around or disagreeing. Pet much what you see as far as forums, and people having opinions. Some lament the "earlier days" of the mod when yes, there was some Ayer killing, but it felt more like you could still team up with people you met anonymously and so forth. You have to accept the unreality of what Internet forums are.

Yeah I almost hold back. Seems like a waste of ammo to pull the trigger more than twice.

Go back to wow.

LOL Better hurry and store your important stuff in your tent/car and sprint to the NW airfield for 1 last "hardcore PVP" session.. Soon death might matter to you like it does to us carebears. Ha so ignorant and condescending. I was in top death leaderboards for months' date=' knew the map inside out while you were still getting achievements for pressing space in some carebear game of yours. By the time I hit 1k hours playing dayz I pretty much done everything possible in this mod. Items are far down on my list of things I want from this game. But the group/clan aspect that this game has is practically being removed due to not having a lasting objective/goal/base because you whiners want free and easy stuff BECAUSE YOU CARE(bear) about it more than anyone, why would you be so happy otherwise? pathetic hypocritical ignorant twerps. [/quote'] Are you so naïve? You are the one who wants safety. You are the one avoiding pvp. Putting your stuff off map is far more "care bear" than anything I've heard suggested around here except "remove pvp". Setting up your little green acres camps is weak. Why don't you just go play arma on your own server and set up a super leet camp full of stuff and just sit there looking at it? Man up, grow a pair and figure out how to survive inside the boundaries of the game. Or you can go back to collecting hair clips on Hello Kitty Island.

Those who decide what's right have changed what that means' date=' haven't they? [/quote'] Plenty of people in this thread calling for players not to be able to store gear and vehicles AT ALL, regardless of map bounds. Once you die you respawn along with all the gear you hid, etc. That is bullshit. It fits the perms death concept pretty well to me.
