Are you nuts? I know I can't lift a main rotor so i have never tried. You think im dumb enough to risk throwing my back out in this harsh and cruel world? So if we do away with backpack slots your good? Me too!

How about you just learn the capacity of your container and understand that if you exceed that capacity bad things can happen? Gives me an idea ... You can over stuff your pack but at some point it will break spilling the contents on the ground leaving you with a pile of stuff and no pack to put it in. :|

Standalone to include 'Report Player' option?
shadowjack replied to TIC's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I am against any type of tattletale system in a gaming environment. By and large i am against it outside of gaming as well. Just ask my kids how well it worked for them. :) -
Because your a hillbilly? :)

ROCKET. Playing with friends question (Standalone)
shadowjack replied to djshauny1's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Correct at the end of the day it is a game, and no one plays for the enjoyment of others. Well ... i don't anyway. Getting pissed of is your choice. If it gets to that point take a blow. Hell i even get a kick out of the random hacker deaths. I take it as part of the unknown factor that you never know what will happen next. Adapt and overcome. There are many reasons folks stop playing and many of those same reasons why folks continue to play or new folks come on board. No one game will make everyone happy. Your job as a player is to find the game that gives you the best bang for your leisure time. -
ROCKET. Playing with friends question (Standalone)
shadowjack replied to djshauny1's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Maybe its just me but most group activities in other games I have played with some form of fast travel/group spawn ect. usually amount to 40 minutes of standing around scratching your ass waiting for other players. I don't need that in game, i can do that with the wife. -
Dynamic Objects (not Dynamic terrain)
shadowjack replied to m.w. vindicator's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Agree that it wouldn't be immersion breaking at all. Taking something predictable and making it random is only going to add to immersion in my book. The small loss of authenticity is a worthy trade. GREAT IDEA. -
"don't try this at home, im a professional Russian" :D

DayZ Developer Blog 8th March
shadowjack replied to mattlightfoot's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
a while back I had brought up the idea of the lazy sniper getting fat cuz all he does is drive to and from his favorite spot, lay on the ground and eat beans all day. It was quickly pointed out that no one lives long enough to get fat. But yeah my ears did perk up when i heard that. I would not be against some benefit to the player who legs it everywhere instead of driving around all the time. -
how to handle property - the issue when being offline
shadowjack replied to joe_mcentire's topic in Suggestions
Because that is what they enjoy doing. Its all about the journey my friend. -
I hope this hasn’t already been said as i haven’t read but the 1st 3 posts. The solution to me is so simple its absurd. You want to spawn together in the same vicinity ... you simply log off in the same vicinity.

shadowjack replied to joe_mcentire's topic in Suggestions
I think ownership is a construct of the legal profession giving them yet another "thing" they can haggle over. regardless of what laws may say ... ownership is always temporary. -

shadowjack replied to joe_mcentire's topic in Suggestions
If those "hours and hours" you spend are really work then i hope you are getting paid for your time. If you are not enjoying those "hours and hours" then i am quite certain you can find a much better use for your leisure time. DayZ is NOT gear fetish friendly. -

You have that backwards my friend. PVP will never be nurfed, nor should it be. The "survival plans" will make PVP less of a first option for many players. Not all players but i belive enough to see a noticable difference. -

shadowjack replied to mattlightfoot's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
We shouldn't be able to loot our own bodies nor have access to past lives gear stored in tents/vehicles ect. Are we not supposed to be dead and starting a new life? Keep the name, not the gear. -

shadowjack replied to joe_mcentire's topic in Suggestions
Then you don’t want an open sandbox persistent world. You want order and familiarity and DayZ isn't that. The DayZ world is a fast paced ever changing environment. Gangs come and go. You stay still you stagnate and you will die. -
I like the idea of finding an unattended base with a big ass loud siren. Set that puppy off and high tail it out of there, maybe find a vantage point to sit and watch the show. Perhaps even catch some unsuspecting campers logging in to find the camp overrun. pass the popcorn please :P Course that would require said mischievous survivor to be able to elude the coming hoard. That too has great, perhaps even better entertainment value.

Not a matter of hate. It just does not fit into the core concept of what the developers want to do here. Why do people keep insisting on moving DayZ toward a mainstream MMO?
-
What is stopping you from feeling "you did something"? If you did it, then feel it. Your choice. The beauty of DayZ is in the lack of rules and restrictions. YOU set your own goals and achievments. If its linear you are looking for you are playing in the wrong sandbox.

What is your Dream Vision for Dayz - 2 Years from now?
shadowjack replied to rassad's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I thought Shadowbane had a decent way to deal with how player built content could be sieged/destroyed. Not really sure I would want that here. -
O man, If only that were true ... i would get so much shit done around the house.

Teleported after spawning in gear as Admin
shadowjack replied to Currency's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Not a hacker. Just a shady admin. I would ban myself if i were you. -
Getting lucky with these heli crashes.
shadowjack replied to INickeragua's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
Definitely a sign we need to eliminate NPC heli crashes and increase player heli crashes -
Here's an original idea! What if you could turn into a zombie after a zombie kills you?
shadowjack replied to kasigawa's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Played this game 12 -13 years ago called Realms of Kaos. They put in a Feature called PAM - Play as Monster - where you could choose to play as one of the NPC baddies. Even allowed to pick up items players dropped on the ground when they died but could not use the items. It was kinda cool because you were never quite sure if one of the mobs was an NPC or perhaps a live player with real intelligence. -
Challenge accepted ... your tin cans against my MP5 :)
