So.. being a server admin can get interesting.
Disgraced replied to michael.lerch@hotmail.com's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Major lulz. At least in the MUD days, only an admin could end up eavesdropping... But how it'd is it since they didn't know if anyone else was in radius? Maybe they are supr hardcore role players. -

Bad luck, wipes and hackers in DayZ
Disgraced replied to Milk (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
They've been working on stopping the hacking, and it got better for quite a while. I've noticed a rise in posts about this, specifically. It makes me wonder what is built into the engine that lets someone somehow target and kill fifty people in such disparate locations in the first place, let alone finding ways to use it in hacks. Until then, op.... I've never had it happen. Maybe it will tomorrow... But up until now, I avoid servers that have a lot of clan tags playing, and there ae some that have "pissed off" the hackers, and I avoid those, too. Also until then, see sig below.... -
Is this too outside the Arma engine? I think that guns should some with a clip (or two), if they are a clip/magazine weapon (no, I don't need a lesson on the difference, gun nerds). Occasionally we can find a clip or speed loader for a revolver or whatever... But THEN we should sing BOXES of bullets in a particular calibre, and then have to load our clips/magazines once they are empty. That means you could HAVE ammo, but still run out of loaded clips (uh uh uhhhhh, no posting about clips v mags!!).... Probably impossible with the Arma engine, though.

Guns come with clips, we find boxes of rounds

Suggestion for cutting down on bandits
Disgraced replied to Orgy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Let me find explosives, with a dead mans switch. You kill me, come to loot my corpse. Boom. EDIT: that didn't make sense. Let me booby trap my pack. -
I am shoot on "almost sight" If I see you, and you don't see me for a few moments, and I talk in direct comms and you don't answer... I will be forced to kill you. Too many times, I watched someone approach or derp around a building, and I wait too long and they shoot me. If I have the advantage, and I can't get your attention before you point your weapon at me... I will shoot.

Epic: biplane v helicopter

I wonder if the OP Google-translated this from a other language. Otherwise: Usually it's the guy in that building that makes that building and it is over unless you crawl in slower time. If coming later, other guy might look at building and move to next building until you see other guy then let him know not liking it.

Female character is extremely SLOW.
Disgraced replied to Kimiko (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Do you have a weapon at the time this happens? Try shift or right mouse click... -
Nope. Rare weapon is rare. Conserve or use a common weapon.

The more he sees it the more incentive he has to making us shut up Doubtful. In an alpha, it seems as though they are adding and base testing features, not refining them. This will most likely get tweaked, but not because of the weight of 150 vs 100 threads mentioning it.

This stuff has been suggested in the suggestions thread already, and usually rejected. "A" for effort, though.

Why people hate clans... Epic ambushes of course!
Disgraced replied to Hidden (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
I hate them because they horde vehicles, usually off map, and usuaally with a coordinated server restart. But I think in a lot of cases, they or their admin pal are paying for the servers, so I just think of it as haves and have nots, since I've never been beset by any clan. Of course, I don't connect to a server if there are more than two clan tagged individuals present. I think that's why I have so few problems with hackers, admin shenanigans and restarts. -
A ballistic trajectory is curved by definition. If you zero at 400, the bullet will actually be higher than that at say, 200. Think of a very flat rainbow starting at the gun and ending at the target. Awwwwwww...

Time is still effed up. I have just adjusted my own time zone nonsensically, and decided not to worry about 8 minutes differrence.

Asking for more ammo for your rare weapon is like the new players asking for a weapon to start... Deal with it and get a weapon with more common ammo. It's not a trophy contest where we need you to show off your leet weapon. Part of reality is less ammo for those weapons. Should lower geared players ask for more pistol spawns?

Hospitals are full of morphine' date=' you know. [/quote'] Yes, they often have morphine. But you're also often spawned far away from hospitals. And new players who are too dumb to google for a map don't know the locations... they may just wander on a road to go inland and if you're unlucky you won't get a hospital for miles. For example, when you spawn in Kamenka, you're far away from Cherno AND the town is full of eager bandits ready to kill survivors. Often, by the time you reach Cherno the water or food icons are already close to red, so it adds to the new player's frustration. Why would player bother when spawned in such place? There's no penalty, he can just respawn somewhere else. Especially new players who try the game for the first time, don't know how much damage the zeds do so they'll attack them carelessly and there's a high change they'll get broken legs and then just quit frustrated and maybe never try the game again. This is further aggravated by the fact there's no longer any chat, so they could ask questions. edit: and how would a new player learn the morphine fixes legs? How realistic is that? It's just a painkiller in real world, basically. Change painkillers to "First aid kit" or something like that and it will be more intuitive. I've played for about 8 hours in this new alpha and while Cherno and Elektro are barren, as you go inland Coke and Pepsi were easy to find (really had no motivation to get water bottle and refill it, they're so easy to get). BUT the food is much rare, and what I noticed is that the zombies are dropping it more often than I find it on the floors. So get a hatchet and attack lone zeds. My strategy was basically to have the map on the second monitor open (browser map) and make my way straight to cherno or elektro and get about 4 morphines at least, then search for barns where shotguns are easy to find - they're easier to find than regular pistols or revolvers. I'd dare to say the hatchet is too good of a weapon now, as I could easily do headshots and not alarm the zeds around me, as I would with guns. As long as I'm writing a long message... there really should be some more repercussions for bandits - as a survivor there's no benefit for me now to NOT shoot anyone - by the time any side effect of killing survivors takes place, the regular player is already dead from loss of blood or whatever. Maybe zeds should hear the bandits more easily or "smell" them or somehow dynamically increase the difficulty... like add to that "humanity factor" something that changes to worse for them when they snipe a survivor that's handling just a hatchet (he was no danger) It would be nice to also know WHO shot you, particularly on Regular servers where you can see their tags if they're on your sight. Could be a nice game mechanic to track and get your revenge on some bandit (if he doesn't disconnect in the meantime and hops on another server). dayzwiki.com

To the op... Do you usually play games for entertainment, or challenge? That will tell you if this game is for you.
