Why thunderdomers may be psychopaths and why they may need your help
The_Man replied to libertine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It is easy to be a doctor when your knowledge goes as far as "the free dictionary". -
Why thunderdomers may be psychopaths and why they may need your help
The_Man replied to libertine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If anything, I think the Hollywood definition would be more appropriate here. Calling someone you've never met or at the very least spoken to a "psychopath" in the clinical definition seems a bit much don't you think? Maybe you have a PhD in Psychology that I don't know about so you could be right. I think it is hard to say such a thing. How do you know if they aren't Sociologists that are taking notes during these "tests" they are running? They could literally be anyone! Perhaps Thunderdome is a rogue social experiment. Of course, my assumption of this is just as absurd as your assumption. -

The_Man replied to libertine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
That is quite a stretch Dr. Wikipedia. It is probable that you are insulting many of the people just getting a laugh out of how upset people get in a clearly buggy game. If anything, these hackers teach me not to get so obsessed with a video game. Just my opinion. -
Does anybody else get excited when they see Heinz Baked Beans randomly in a store?
The_Man replied to "Lost" Alice's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The beans should really give gas to the survivor. 120 seconds of random moments where your audio meter jumps and makes you more vulnerable to zombie detection. -

Blood pudding? Yeah, you should be fine with the sardines. Good with a pint dark lager or an IPA. -

Have you ever had sardines in a rich tomato sauce? I hate to say it but sardines > beans. -

The_Man replied to "Lost" Alice's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
They are the only beans I buy. All the other beans here have too much sugar or weird sauces in them. Heinz beans always have good quality beans and delicious tomato sauce. Nothing beats them! As for getting excited when I see them...eh not really, I've been eating them years before this game came out. I'd probably be more excited to see a can of sardines! -
I haven't played this game for months now. This is simply because playing alone is probably the most unrewarding experience. The game has recieved so much hype in these past months that is has attract so many people. This is good and bad. I am hoping that a lot of those players who play just to grief others (killing someone is not griefing in my opinion) are bored of it now. Anyway, it sounds like you need a partner or a group to play with. My suggestion is to find a group that isn't into hording items and simply goes on missions just for item searching. That becomes very boring quickly. Try to find a group that tries to find other people, build new outposts, help others, or maybe even kill others if that is your thing. Sounds like you need an objective and having a group is a great way to find one.

How do you fly the Helicopter?
The_Man replied to SeaNanners (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It has taken me 11 years to master aircrafts in BI games. I can bomb cities upside down while top gun music magically drones from the clouds. It took a lot of time to master that last part. -

The_Man replied to SeaNanners (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Just remember: Landing your chopper in or around cherno or elektro gives you infinite beans. Give it a try. No it means that ARMA II has bootcamp for a reason. Here comes the airplane, open wide!!!! -
Public Service Announcement: Game engines and you.
The_Man replied to MasterZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Did they announce that it will be using RV3 or RV4 engine? Either way...I'm glad if it will user either. BI has always been great with their modding community. I remember the thousands of models/maps for Cold War Crisis. I hope the standalone DayZ could allow a modding community to flourish like other BI games. -
I did some rough testing earlier today. Correct me if I'm wrong but The survivor can run 350 meters per minute. This means on average they run at 21 kmph? That seems pretty quick for full gear! However, any slower and travelling in the current map would be depressing. Any weight system implemented would have to have this speed as the bare minimum in my opinion! *This was done on flat ground at the fastest running setting*
-
Yes I understand. Any slower and I'd lose my mind! I think this might be useful to some hardcore mappers out there though! I like to know exactly when I will arrive :)
-
He said 300 meters!
-
Hmm. I did some tests and I ran (at full speed) 88 meters in 15 seconds. Since the speed doesn't vary at all: 88 x 4 = 352 meters per minute 352 x 60 = 21120 meters per hour 21120m = 21.120 kilometers per hour 22 sounds right since I wasn't being too careful with start and stop times.

'OP' Guns and the Future of Dayz
The_Man replied to tarquinbb's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The weapons don't need to change. Your tactics do. -
Why the hell are there so many guns?
The_Man replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Why? I have been sniped maybe 5-10% in all of my deaths. Maybe you need to change your tactics if you getting dominated by snipers all the time. -

The_Man replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
End Game doesn't really exist in simulation games. They are always based on Campaigns. Your gear doesn't determine end game sorry to say. -

The_Man replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This mod wasn't mean to be "Realistic". It is zombies after all. It is supposed to be "Authentic" according to Rocket. Also, do you know how many guns and ammo exists in the world? More than 8 Million Weapons are made each year according to my poor google research. If 99% of the population died off in an infection then it wouldn't be too hard to find weapons. -
Survival of the fitness boys!

I am trading an Alice Pack that is full of blood bags, morphine injectors, epipens and bandages. I am mostly looking for a weapon + revolver if possible.

Beans to anyone who can tell me where this quote is from "A C-130 is nice flying"

The best part of this game is when people with high tier weapons get destroyed by experienced players with a hatchet and makarov. You bring it on yourselves when your main goal is to find the rarest weapons. Priorities my friends.
