    [Video] The Worst Kind of Fire

    This happened in cherno Sunday it was about 2am serve time and there were 3 helicopter wrecks causeing it. You could get to electro and it was bright as mid day. You could travel through Cherno and everything would be lit around you andd look like its on fire in the direction to the Copters however you could not see it turning around away from the wreck but it would still be lit up.
  4. I noticed this going from 2 servers based in the US. But seems from Texas to Seattle I have 2 chars.

    For The Sake of Realism

    The eating/drinking is already trivial IMO. If you spend 1 run to a general store you can stock up on a days supply. If you camp near certain citys the general store run is even trivial in itself because its right on the outskirts of town and you may have to contend with 4 zombies Players are random but there are citys that are less frequented by them. The system is a bit over tuned I agree but its still manageable when you can sprint from the coast almost mid inland before needing to look.

    Caltrops.

    To help with the significant speed that zeds sometimes have and some what ripping off Diablo3 could caltrops be implimented as a placed type persistant item (like a turret with charges that would depleat) as new entitys entered the AOE. It would force targets to a walk in the AOE. This could help with building camps as you could line areas with them and a trolls delight.

    For The Sake of Realism

    Dried meat to jerky is still cooked and with a ton of salt and other other processes. As annoying as it is to constantly try to find food once you have the means to cook raw meat and have a canten that part of the game becomes an after thought. If I die its always because of something silly and not from food. In fact my camp is over loaded with food/water.

    Caltrops.

    Beartraps are a bit different IMO one shot and you have a broke leg whatnot have a few never used them. Caltrops IRL are used in multipuls a handfull or so over an area. The reason I said charges is to reflect the diminishing amount in said area. I would imagine they would get stuck in a zed or person and not removed, scattered to another area, or impacted into the ground. Used on roads could be an easy way to flatten tires if you have bandit convoys on your server like the one I am on. The turret charge was just an easy refrence to think on. As you clearly picked up. Edit: To add, you COULD improvise these by useing simple thumbtacks and sharpened nails. The shear amount of improvised traps and items could add a ton of immersion.

    I am spawning without a gun

    A rocket launcher.... Crap I must be doing something wrong all I keep getting is the slingshot and caltrops.
  10. I think the zombies just need to be fixed in general. Having a Zed bolt at you from 100 yards away for no reason at all compaired to the one right beside you being completely oblivious is rather silly.

    What now ?

    I think the standalone is a great idea because Rocket will have access to the source code and can hard write everything. As far as the mod I would assume it would be handed down to a subwriter. As much as I love this game its short comings are there because Rocket does not have full access to tweak things through the Arma Source so in the long run it would be a win win over all. As long as we are not pushed to the micro Pay to win model I would be happy with a pay per month depending on the size of the map and people per server. I think it needs to stay PC only and in Indy dev mode. I feel going console would dumb it down to a casual cry fest and being bought out by Actiblizz or EA would push it to conform to the same. Granted thats where the money is but would ultimatley turn from its founding roots. (see warz and its casual mode.)

    When you get bored at camp - Turtle walking

    I would have shot just thinking it was a zed ><
  13. I feel bad for run on sentences. They make eyes bleed. However most times no. Because its a shoot first think second attitude in DayZ for most players.

    Saving tents/bike/anythign else.

    Tents are found in general stores usually. They can be found other places I believe though. Worth having if you actually decide to set up camp for a bit.

    PvP and PvE servers (with a twist)

    I will admit the greif PvP can get out of control rather quickly as there is nothing to curb a greifer. That being said I think it is what keeps this game interesting. You always have the sense of looking over your shoulder to make sure no one is coming. Used to feel the same way in Vanilla WoW when i would go into contested zones. Its that uncertanty that drives paranoia. Take that element away and complacentcy sits in quick. Being a survival based game adapt or die.

    Looking the Wrong Way

    Sometimes I like to troll little kids and lokk at my epeen while it pulsates to the fact that I have a false sense of gratification.

    Saving tents/bike/anythign else.

    Yes but it its server bound and does not despawn when you log off. They are among the only persistant items in the game.

    The greatest update would be...

    And people wonder why we bring up console wars... and CoD "kids"

    8)

    Also to point out. With a hatchet, Knife and Matches surviving in the wild almost becomes trivial. If you have a cantena and a water source outside of a town even more so. Keep in mind the risk/reward. If you are balling with a high end military rifle and plent of supplies dont rush off to military encampments. Yes you may find NVG's or something else cool but you could find a sniper taking pot shots at you.

    It's coming ............

    From reading I dont like the casual points WarZ is trying to convey with *hardcore servers* Will this stop me from playing "no" will I go in with a grain of salt and high expectations "yes". It better bring alot to the table as I have a feeling its already going to be a micro transaction pay to win game.

    Blood Regeneration

    Passive blood regeneration makes sense as well as clotting wounds when you are bleeding. I think if Rocket decided to add a system where if you were sated enough with food/water that passive regeneration could commense. I believe that there should possibly be levels of bleeding out. Gunshots requiring sutras. However scratches not so much. The same could be worked with broken bones that could heal over time depending on severity. Splints could be constructed from wood + bandages allowing smaller fractures to heal over time during this time allowing you to walk again..

    Item Spawn Questions

    Items do respawn but I think its based on a node system where a certain amount has to be gone before more spawn. How long it takes to do this check I am not certain. Also if you drive you sometimes outrun the servers area check. If you ever notice zombies only have a range at which they spawn. When you are on the edge of the woods near a city watch and you can almost pick out the distance that they do. This also affects items you can see for yourself by loging out in say a grocery store logging out go to another empty server and pop up. The grocer will be empty until you walk a bit away and it notices an entity. The server I believe would work on the concept of doing a character check to make sure its not wasting CPU resources by keeping active AI in an area when no one is there.

    Car Battery?

    I think battery would be summed up as Engine parts.

    Entrenching tools?

    Use them in conjunction with sandbags.
  25. Why would you admit being a bandit.. I just /facepalmed you ruined your own troll.
