Strategos (DayZ)

1: from 0 seconds to half an hour in my experience. 2: Gone. 3: Same as any other building, dependant on lag , server glitches etc. 4: nothing, or it shouldnt do. 5: Around it, under ground if you are really lucky. 6: Not planning on loot farming are you :p

Well I can understand why people get frustrated, announcing a patch for a specific day does raise people expectations a bit. And I think if there is one thing this forum shows (apart from extreme retardation) it's that people are passionate about his game! Or maybe obsessive is the word ?

Hopefully having confirmation that he still there beavering away will make everyone chill out a bit.

Haha hey there greg ;)

Hes not in hospital :p See: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=26108

Cheers Vipeax!

So Rocket has had a well earned week off ? Something like that.... time for a post! Anything please :)

oh god some people just don't get it do they. Most people judging by the stuff you see getting suggested on here!

Terrible terrible idea.

One word Calibre. Also aim for the head. You want stopping power go for larger calibres. G-17 is quiet, fast, has a big clip and a torch.

Here is one of the essential contradictions in Dayz's design. You have the ability to server hop, but at the same time the game tries to lock you to one server by giving tents and vehicles that only exist where you find or place them. Server hopping can be very convenient, being able to leave one server and quickly join a server with your mates is really great.The server my group play on is about to be shut down, without server hopping we are screwed! BUT It will almost certainly have to go. It creates too many problems in the long run I think. The HIVE system is already geared towards persistence on one server. I'd imagine one day in the far future Dayz will have bigger servers with bigger maps and have many shards. I think we have to be left with one player only though, if you allow players to have a player on each different server you lose that investment in your character that makes Dayz so great. It also allows people to have "alt" characters they can use to grief on other servers.

And type it instead ;)

No unknown quite the opposite. Can you read? I assume you can as you can type? Lol a player just started killing them, its all gone to shit, pretty funny .

Im updating my post back on page one as I go, for a bit anyway.

Rocket just said he was keen on the diary / journal idea which I like. He also said he wants all the buildings to be enter-able. Hes also talking about there being more diseases you can catch. Mentioning he doesn't like perks, specifically navigation perks in this case. Which is a huge relief to me personally. He doesn't like fallout / oblivion enemy levelling. He doesn't want the players to feel super human. Wants to carefully deal with zombies walking in buildings because it makes players too safe. He would love for pumpkin patches be harvest-able. He's acknowledged problems with barbed wire inconveniencing players. There is talk about players being able to build facilities , research and manufacture. Rocket has just confessed he's never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R He wants to keep the players disorientated. He wants to add more options for the player, in terms of play style. He's talking about crafting things like satchel charges. He likes the idea of durability, repair, maintenance of equipment. He says what is missing from the game is reasons for people to trust each other. He's not sure about spawning away from the coast. Reducing hatchets - found mainly in farms. Adding baseball bats for residential. Crowbars will be in industrial areas. New patch has massive performance increase. He'd like to see 1200 zombie limit and over 100 players. With bigger maps maybe more. Hes working on Molotov cocktails. But there are frame rate issues. He wants a better gear menu. One where you can visualise what you have more clearly.

The crap people are talking in the chat channel is embarrassing .

I agree actually, Ive had a thermal / nvg recently and seen the advantage they give first hand. My first thought was, "im only playing at night now its going to be amazing" I think night-time game play would just be more all round fun for everyone, the light vision / danger trade off is a good mechanic. Its alpha, theres no concern with people losing stuff. Give it a try for a while and maybe we will see an increase of night-time play again. After all Alpha is the time for trying stuff.

I def think when Dayz goes gold, it should be on a brand new unknown map. In the meantime a new map might be fun , that one looks nice.

Negatory. We are the survivors.

The lack of silenced on sniper rifles is a good balancing tool. It means you have to choose your position carefully. When I over watch my mates when they are doing a looting run its really hard to get a good position. A silenced sniper rifle would be even more annoying when griefers get hold of them.

Def seen this issue.

Where do you think all the items in your inventory are stored ? Like your ammo ? In some sort of ...ammo belt.

Make Dayz into generic RPG. No thanks. We have a currency that drops on zombies anyway, they are called beans! Bear Grylls perk, lol . Would make you unable to survive without a nice hotel room and a film crew to look after you ?

Yeah I killed a couple of guys covering my team mates and i have a heartbeat already. I thought it was only for major PKers ? Griefers essentially.

Fucking hell I hope that facebook page is some sort of joke.
