Set my tent up yesterday, v5.3. When server updated to 5.4, it was still there. Today it's gone. Such is life in the Z.

To servers owners:veteran instead of regular
ratszo replied to kinex's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Most pvp servers in arma are veteran, so playing 1st person is second nature, how i learned to play the game. Hence, i only play on UO servers. 1st person is an aquired taste. I suggest if you're new to Arma, jump into the deep end of the pool and learn to love veteran. 1st person is the standard in the Armaverse for PvP play. -

[Legion] Admins abusing power on Dallas servers.
ratszo replied to Braxton's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Tried their server once, got kicked. With all the problems logging & loading in, getting admin kicked is a very good reason to avoid this server. That pic speaks volumes. -
No. Visual cues are an elegant way to anticipate the actions of another player..., at a glance. I'd like to see a range of skins from serial killer to lawman.

The solution to most of our PVP ”problems”
ratszo replied to -Legion-Expendable's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Exactly what Atkins said - there is definitely a problem with Direct Communication, it's not just players complaining over nothing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes you only have Direct Commlinks with certain people. FREELANCE consistently experience these differences and we often briefly test the Direct Comms to check whether they're functional or not, and whether we may or may not be able to communicate with other survivor groups that we encounter. Just because it works for you at one time, that doesn't necessarily mean it will work for everyone else - and this can change at any time. Yep, and it's a major problem with the mod. -

It's safe to say this is a PvP mod. The Dev team has just started. I'm sure they got plans. Comms will get better; skins will show more visual cues as to who you're looking at. Fortifications are coming. If you don't wanna fight, find a way to play the mod as a pacifist. --hey!, if you throw down your weapons, less people will want to shoot you. Maybe we need a Monks skin for the unarmed? Be a healer, live on charity and stealth. Zombies are Gods children too! But if you want to tote a gun, learn to hunt. Saying "This game ain't what i thought it was." . .., well, it is what it is. And yeah, it's PvP.

Direct Communication not working at all...
ratszo replied to Redrick (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Talked/heard a guy yesterday on DC --but buddy next to me didn't hear a thing. -
For now, buddy-up with guys on ts and get tactical, share resources. How ya gonna use a blood pack without a buddy? Once direct chat is fixed, maybe a 'join squad' feature and other tweaks like skins and humanity, things will get better.... Yesterday, a guy sneeks up and shoots me in the back. Wounded, i turn, strafe and luckly cap his ass cqc. He was loaded! --map, compass, knife, matches, alice, 5 bags of blood! What the hell was he thinking? All i had was the starter kit.

I use the 'surrender' bind --hit twice it looks like a two-handed wave above your head. If you drop your weapon, hands will lock on top of your head while standing still.

My own thoughts and reservations regarding the impending morality system
ratszo replied to Goose Springsteen's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hehe, or a strobing ankle-bracelet --we'd have lynch mobs! Add a +500 humanity bounty for killing a convict and we'll get some rough justice. -
My own thoughts and reservations regarding the impending morality system
ratszo replied to Goose Springsteen's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Sounds good. Also, maybe have 'bandit' change to 'escaped convict' for serial killers --bright orange prison jumpsuit or classic stripes.
