Why does Rocket want us to have congenital insenssitivity?
oby replied to SillySil's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would like to see the character needing to defecate and urinate also, visual and audio cues included of course. It completely breaks my immersion not having to shit and piss every 12 hours. Farting also, MUST be implemented, can`t be realistic without farting. Nope, it`s not that all people you meet are elite military personnel that can run forever and can take a shotgun to the gut and then just keep on running, that`s not immersion breaking, it`s that damnable UI ... also not being able to shit. Respawning for 50 trillion times after death is also highly realistic. But that fork, god damn that flashing fork just kills it for me. When i see that thing flashing it`s like i wake up from a trance and go HOLY SHIT THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE ! -
Long story short, last night i found myself on a very friendly private server with global chat enabled and most people were not looking for a fight. In 2 hours i was fully geared and ready to rumble until i realised, nobody wanted to rumble and i was pretty damn safe even down south. I then proceded to disconnect since the game absolutely blows in the PVE aspect and returned to my main HIVE character where i was actually scared to leave the woods because of all the psychos out there trying to kill me. In conclusion this game would be horribly boring and i personally would not give it the time of day without the heavy PVP focus and constant danger of death from players.

Well look at you post. "I wanted to get my humanity up by behaving like an animal and slaughtering my own kind but it did not work". lol. Anyway, enjoy being a bandit, i certainly do, the game did not change for us, it stayed exactly the same, KOS everywhere.

... where we found an ATV and got ambushed
oby replied to Antariuk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Good story, would read again. I believe this is exactly how the game should be enjoyed, your adventures fit Dayz like a glove. With none of that shit about bandits, survivors, murderers and other terms that just sound ridiculous. -
The new golden rule, Don't trust anyone?
oby replied to Ben2904's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well in all fairness and with me being a big fan of the deathmatch type gameplay ... this style of playing is fucking retarded. I personally don't care about anyone i meet and will instantly try to kill them, armed or unarmed (so does every single one of my friends - we do play in a group most of the time) but that was just rotten and pointless. That's not PVP, that's just lame as hell. -
Server hoppers are killing my fun
oby replied to Nille (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
lol, well to be fair, you don't and can't know if he was server hopping or was a legit d/c. The loneliness is getting to your character huh ... he seems a bit ... out there. -
Well in all honesty it really is JUST A GAME. I think perhaps you missunderstood the point of the game tho ... this is not a zombie survival simulation man, otherwise there would not be .50 caliber snipers and helicopters and all that crazy military equipment. This is just survival and yeah a slow deathmatch. Zombies are here to ... i dunno, because of the title i guess. I don't think we're playing it the wrong way, i think you are. Look at what the game gives you and tell me this was not meant to be purely PVP.

Boars ! It was god damn boars, they tripped and snapped the cords of your tent and the wind did the rest ! No joke, it happens in real life also !

what's the best solution to stop server hopping?
oby replied to tarquinbb's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
How about if your character is below 8000 blood or is bleeding/in shock, etc he cannot join a different server. First he has to patch himself up and be in good condition before he can undertake the long voyage to another realm. You would still lose your kill from alt-f4 but he sure as hell can't ghost behind you. Also he would have to practically stop playing for awhile since he could only return to the same server where somebody is waiting around to kill him. It would suck however if the server is full and your friends can't join you. You would be on your own to patch yourself up to a good shape and THEN join them on that other realm. I guess that's upto people to decide if they find it annoying or not. -
Well not ALL AS50 owners camp kill. Some of us hide behind a big ass team that engages survivors head on and we pick them off when they try to run. One thing is certain, if you have an AS50 and you are friendly do people you don't know, you're doing it wrong.
-
You're the pussy for avoiding solving problems by respawning like a noob. The guy wants to push on through his predicament and has turned to asking for help from likeminded individuals, not boring peons like yourself.
-
Pointless to post coordinates. We obliterate any big camp we find. And by that i mean, we take one car, drive over all the tents then blow up all the cars. Small camps like 1-3 tents we just take some beans, coke and explosives (if there are any) and move on.
-
hah ! Man i hope it's true and you're not just pissed at them for some reason and are now trying to make them look bad.
-
lol, i hope Johnnyguitar sees your post and regains his faith in humanity.

Wat ? How is team play "just as hard, if not harder then solo play" ? A 4-6 man group can steamroll any situation thrown at them, except for another 4-6 man group, then starts the real fun.
-
Oh and i would like to take this opportunity to say i felt terrible for ending those 2 guys, they both counted up as murders so they weren't bandits which made me feel kinda bad, they had the best gear in game without being bandits ...
-
I don't even enter the game without at least 2 more friends, but preferably 6 of us. Then we just watch the world burn. (AS50 + NATO rounds is just ridiculous in my opinion, i just looted one from 2 unlucky guys we happened to come across and OH MY GOD that thing fires ballistic missiles, boom goes the vehicle)

Swimming causes you to lose all of your inventory
oby replied to scofieldr's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think that`s a bug and not a feature. I swam with all my gear a couple of times. I even kept my gun and i thought losing your gun if you swim WAS a feature. -
Also, don't agree with OP. I don't think zombies are hard enough. If you insist on running around as a lonewolf i think it's only natural that at least dealing with zombies should be a pain in the ass. If you run in a group zombies are there just to help you clean up your inventory of ammo. In cities, it`s really really easy to lose zombies, i would go so far as to say that a loner in a city should use the zombies for cover and as a rudimentary weapon (i do at least). MAKE ZOMBIES A DAMN NIGHTMARE TO DEAL WITH !
-
Yeah, zombies are crap in the current state, they need to be way harder.
-
Keep doing it, the logs will show this: timestamp: Player X shoots and kills player Y timestamp+1: Player X disconnects timestamp+3: Player X is connected You draw the conclussion if they will consider this suspicious or not.
-
Well don't get me wrong, i would also get into the survival thingy and like it but there is no support for that so you stick to what you got, which is well ... a slow deathmatch. And you either find that fun or you don't. There's nothing in between really. I would have nothing against PVE servers with insanely many zombies where only headshots count or blowing them to shit, the rest just slows them down for awhile. In that world a small group of players would be very lucky to get away with some loot from a small village. Cities would be lol unless you march a whole damn army in there. I should note however that those should be separate servers so i can play both styles if i like them both.
-
It's a fantastic deathmatch type game. Deal with it or don't. You die, you respawn, you get gear, you battle it out, you die ... etc. Slow deathmatch right there. Survival simulation you say ? Where ? Hatchet, matches, knife, canteen => immortality in the mountains. As a bonus you find ALL these things in the first 15 minutes of spawning and much more, like .45 Colts and AKM's ... etc while the zombies just buzz around you being annoying but not even remotely challenging. Military gear is at every corner ... Sometimes there are no people at NWAF to battle it out. What else am i supposed to do except hunt everything that moves, i kill zombies, goats, cows, players, boars ... not bunnies tho, i never kill bunnies. I roleplayed for awhile but it got old fast because the world itself poses no dangers, only the other players. But the point is that it's fun. Slow deathmatch where death is actually a setback is fun.
-
I don't understand what the problem with this video is ? Are you just incredibly dull ? Do you not like fun ? Man i wish the party bus would find me.

Yeah yeah, just spit out the server already, we would love to come over, we're close enough.
