Pending Changelog: Experimental branch: 0.34.XXXXX
DarkwaveDomina replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
No matter how much I try to trigger a download I just get .115077 and no servers, UK Steam must not have updated yet. :( -
The new logout system is bad. Very, very bad.
DarkwaveDomina replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
It was fixed on experimental last night and according to Romeo Foxtrot it's going on the stable branch today. The devs seem to have responded to this issue quite quickly considering it only appeared around Wednesday, this makes me happy. :D -
66+ patches incoming until final release? (1.0.)
DarkwaveDomina replied to Odahviing's topic in General Discussion
I have no idea how they come up with their build numbers internally, but we've had three patches in two weeks and this makes me extremely happy. -
I think most people complaining about the current system are just flustered that they were made to sit down when they tried to ALT+F4 after being shot at.

SA-Suggestion: Introduction of Microskills
DarkwaveDomina replied to GodOfGrain's topic in Suggestions
Never say never. Rocket has said himself in videos that he eventually would like a system where players get better at administering medical aid or repairing things. :) -
The current solution is fine, it encourages you to use common sense when logging out. Find some woodland, it's everywhere, sit inside the brush of a tree and nobody will find you within thirty seconds. The system you propose is far too complex and has too many variables, the current system is simple and effective as it just makes combat loggers sit down.
-
Instead of picking random weapons then playing the nerf/buff game I personally wish the devs would model the weapons to be as realistic as possible, but choose a specific range of weapons that are fairly balanced against one another.
-
OP what you demonstrated is a roughly 300m shot, while prone, with a bipod and optics. As wolf-mind said it should be even better than that without those things. Hold right mouse button.

As Server Perfomance will increase, what would you like to see first?
DarkwaveDomina replied to Sloddor's topic in General Discussion
I voted for zombies, but there's a catch. Zombies running through walls and having eagle eyes would get out of hand if there were many of them, sometimes I'll be prone in the grass ~300m behind a zombie and it'll seemingly know I am there, turn and look right at me, then begin charging at me. I wish they behaved the same way they did in the mod, where you could crawl right by one if you were in long grass and crouch walk around one if you were far enough away or behind cover. -
Lootable Buildings are Becoming an Endagered Species
DarkwaveDomina replied to DarkwaveDomina's topic in General Discussion
Sure. My post was really just giving some examples but I'll edit it to mention them. -
Lootable Buildings are Becoming an Endagered Species
DarkwaveDomina replied to DarkwaveDomina's topic in General Discussion
That's it, isn't it. Go to red brick houses, go to mansions, go to piano houses, go to barns, leave with everything. My worry is that a certain kind of house seems to stop spawning loot every time there's an update, like the grey garages did, what will it be next the piano houses or the offices? -
The new logout system is bad. Very, very bad.
DarkwaveDomina replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
Awesome, I can't wait to see what excuse server hoppers come up with next. I'm not calling Rick up there a hopper, but some in this thread. -
The new logout system is bad. Very, very bad.
DarkwaveDomina replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
I guess I wasn't specific enough for you. The logout system is fine, there was a problem with the servers whereby it didn't remember where you logged out. This problem is now fixed. Since you like to talk tuff about how much you love server hopping and how everyone else should dealwithit, I only expected you to cry about this. :D Mid-week next week is not next month. -
I searched for threads on this, but the only relevant ones were in the DayZ Mod Suggestions forum and not the equivalent forum for Standalone. In DayZ Mod I was a big fan of the Remington 870 shotgun due to its integrated flashlight. I like to play on night servers from time to time, preferably without being cheap and raising my gamma, so I was very excited when I found out you can add a flashlight to the M4 (and now the FNX45). Unfortunately, unless I am missing something, there doesn't seem to be a way to turn them on and off without going in to your inventory and right-clicking on them, this is extremely unwieldy when you're trying to maintain some level of stealth by turning your flashlight on only when necessary. To sum it up: Please can we have a hotkey to toggle the weapon flashlights? I'll bake you cookies. :)

DarkwaveDomina replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
According to the patch notes it is. :) -
You can only have a server hosted by an officially sanctioned host, such as Vilayer and Gamingdeluxe.

At present infections don't work, the only sicknesses you can get are food poisoning (rotten fruit and alcohol tincture) and chemical poisoning (drinking disinfectant), did you consume any of these things?

POLL Should The Timeout Timer be Increased, Untouched, Reduced or Removed?

Character Bugged & Indefinently Dead, HELP!
DarkwaveDomina replied to dewi's topic in General Discussion
It seems to be a common issue since the last patch, the only thing that seems to work for people is trying different servers. -
Airfields and military bases are dumb
DarkwaveDomina replied to rodolfoxiii's topic in General Discussion
That is precisely how I am hoping they go about drawing up the loot tables. It would be a little too predictable if we purely assumed where items would have been found prior to Z-Day. -
The new logout system is bad. Very, very bad.
DarkwaveDomina replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
I think the timer being after you log out is preferable, but that's purely my opinion. However like I said your specific issue is fixed on experimental now Rick, it should be on stable in the middle of next week. In the meantime I'd recommend waiting a little while before logging out, just to make sure the server remembers your exact location. :) -
Glorious. Have you tried using it against a target indoors? On stable when you hit a zombie it seems to just hit the ceiling instead and most of the swings miss, I lure them back outdoors to get the one-shot and I get annoyed every time.
-
You never know when you'll split your pants running. :P
-
I must have missed that one, does this finally mean I can axe a zombie indoors and not alert half the server? :D It probably still hits the ceiling though. :(
-
I really can't wait for those sewing kits, I think I'll be spending even more time on experimental for now. Some of the fixes to known issues are nice too, like the one where you will sometimes log in some distance from where you logged out.
