shadowjack

Dont need more, just more variety. What is needed is less ammo especially of the military variety

Roger Zelazny fans should know the name. From his book Jack of Shadows. First MMO i played back in 99 had a thief class and ShadowJack was the logical choice. Been using the name since

A head shot from a "low end" weapon will get you just as dead. Organization and tactics will beat gear in this game 9 of 10 times. Instances are just another "easy button" and against the core of what this game is about. You find little support here for anything related to WoW. DayZ is the anti-WoW. For your own sanity please check your gear fetish at the door.

I believe that option is called uninstall :P

The body builds up a resistance and the antibiotics become less effective to possibly not work at all.

Frag em, hackers or not it dont matter

Put me down as batshit crazy. Im all in on this. I would pay $60 out the gate for the SA because i have already gotten way more than that worth of entertainment from the mod.

Only vehicle im interested in is one that grazes and can be harvested for meat ina pinch

Exactly, take a look at his other articles, this one cracked me up http://dailybleach.com/is-boston-bringing-america-down/ This guy should be writing for SNL.

I likely will die early and often. Scavenge and explore with emphasis on testing zombie AI. Get a feel for how they move, how they react, how they hit, how much damage they do. Test agro ranges in different stances etc. By and large be less concerned with player interactions and focus on the environment. After all it will be alpha.

Why? So the script kiddies can get a head start?

WarZ already has the casual player/arcade/gear fetish crowd covered. It being released first can be a great advantage to DayZ SA as it is giving many (me included) a taste of what they don't want. (have yet to log in this month) Rocket is on record saying he will not sell out to the bean counters and will walk away if forced from his vision. If he walks chances are I won't be far behind. Dayz SA will be a niche game for sure and i think there is a big enough market to support this niche. Lot of gamers are tired of the cookie cutter status quo. The real test for Dayz SA will come from the competition once success has been established. Will DayZ SA be able to ride the crest of the wave or be left in the wake? For me, i would rather see it die than be stripped down ... if it comes to that.

Alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol. After bout half a jug of Jameson im the smartest MFer in the game.

I would adapt and overcome... or die Its not a game breaker. I dont even pay attention to server level i just pick a low ping and log in. I was well into my 5th week before i even knew about 3rd person. Since 1stP is default i don't even think about 3rd unless something happens to remind me of it. Cross hairs are a crutch i prefer not to use but i will when they are there. 1stP is more immersive which = more better.

My goal is rarely if ever to insult anyone. If one is insulted by my opinion or asking a question that is their choice. I am stating a thought that i have had for a while now. If they are just kids bored and looking for something to do i get that. I was a kid once to (at least that what i tell my kids) If they get jollies out of ruining peoples fun and strive to make others miserable it "could" be a problem.

I sometimes wonder 20 years down the line the % of these kiddies that will be doing or will have done hard time. I have a gut feeling that the anonymity of the web and all this (anti) social networking is going to have a negative affect on humanity. I think we are already feeling some of the effects. In a game like this the effect of these kind of hacks is minimal anyway because if you dont embrace the concept of starting from scratch you are in the wrong game.

If the Zed's frustrate players chances are they wont last long anyway. If one is observant, and even mildly resourceful it doesn't take long to learn Zed behavior. They are not hard to ditch or elude if they do agro so really it isn't a big deal for the type of gamer DayZ is aimed at. Really the do need to be made more dangerous. You may be right about the money people in the long run. I expect the game will be dumbed down at some point. Rocket is on record as saying he will walk rather be forced from his vision. His mod has made a ton of cash for BI with no risk so hopefully they have given him a long leash to run with. For me i would rather see the game die than have it dumbed down for the mainstream gamer like the "other"Z seems bent on doing.

You sir have a "gear fetish". Until you break the bondage of this terrible and insidious internet gaming disease you will be miserable no matter who you loose to.

Get awful boring around here if no one was shooting at me. Reckon thats another dim assertion. I understand the strategic concept of placing barriers. To place barriers just to keep a random noob from getting a weapon speaks weakness to me. Tells me that wire is way to common. I find wire all the time and have never bothered to pick it up. Thats just me being dim again Could someone please turn on the light?

Why? If you are that fearful of the competition you are playing the wrong game.

Is that free to play?

BI has made a nice haul from a mod. They see that there is a market for this type of game. Hopefully they understand that market is not mainstream don't try to push the standalone into the mainstream which is where the competition seems to be leaning. I look forward to seeing how far this project can go on Rockets vision. Long term or short, i will enjoy the ride while it lasts.

What i don't understand about tents is how does my newly created character know where the previous dead characters tent(s) were? :P They should either die with the character or be relocated to a random spot on a random server. Same with vehicles.

So you prefer fun to realism. I am confident in saying that nearly all of us prefer fun to any game concept. Unless the idea of gaming itself has changed over the years. Yes i am ignorant as to what you consider to be fun. I am guessing, in ignorance, that you prefer more of an MMO style of game. I don't see DayZ as going that route. The "other" Z might suit you better.

No one knows what the hell you are talking about either. Lotta words to say "i don't like it"
