Am I this good at Dayz or are people just awful?
Mos1ey replied to apyro's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Being a medic isn't easy mate. Try running through Elektro trying to find a bambi that doesn't know his coords or have a mic while taking fire from sniper hill and God knows who else that's lurking there, lol! Also, a lot of people take the 'can't be arsed to pick up med supplies, just dial-a-medic and kill him' approach so you have to keep your wits about you... -
You obviously haven't seen Kung Pow! I agree with the rest of your post though. This could be easily fixed by getting rid of the combat icon and just having the abort button disabled. People shouldn't be alt + F4ing to close the game anyway, so if you get killed because you alt + F4d not knowing you we're in combat then that's your problem. xD

Blood transfusion in exchange for another reasonable commodity
Mos1ey replied to amazed's topic in Trading
I'm stuck with a bandit skin with 2750 humanity. If you have camo or a ghillie suit that I could change into and then back to my normal clothing I'll come and help you. :) -
Honestly, have you ever stored chem sticks in a tent? xD
-
You'll want to head to places like Balota/Stary/NW airfield/NE airfield/crashed helis for military loot. And pretty much all over the map to find vehicles. There is only basic loot in the big cities. You tend to go there once at the start of your life and then only return for hospital runs.

I think realism in a survival game is nice but there is a point where you have to say 'this isn't 100% realistic but it will benefit the game'. E.g. Hero/survivor/bandit skins. In order to have a dummy account to place tents you'd need an extra CD key, seems a bit extreme, lol. Anyway, I'm sure someone could think up a way to combat it. Maybe after you died you couldn't access any tents that were placed before your death as well as your tent(s) disappearing. IDK, just trying to think something up on the spot...
-
Late to the party... A lot of people are just waiting for the standalone now. The new patch released today though so expect a rise in activity for a few days at least. After that try and find an active whitelist or password protected server with good admin.
-
I think the tent just disappearing is a much more simple solution and your corpse evaporates in to thin air after a while anyway so the realism argument is dumb.
-
Yeah, the sound in DayZ needs a lot of work TBH. Need to get rid of the ambient sound distant gunshots, they're pointless and distracting. And yeah, every action should make a sound that can be heard by other players. Doors opening/closing, maybe even picking up or dropping items. Also, the evasive roll thing needs a sound, currently you can move without making any sound if you just do that...

Crash course on the 1.7.3 Combat System (by the person who wrote it)
Mos1ey replied to venthos's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Is the combat icon still there? There shouldn't be an icon showing that someone has used a hatchet near you when you wouldn't know otherwise. You should only know by the abort button being disabled. :S Good work apart from that. -
So tents disappearing is stupid but a new character magically knowing where this tent is and going to resupply from it isn't? Tents defy permadeath. I 100% support this idea. @Anti... 'You can't penalise tents and ignore vehicles.' Why not? The only reason you say that is because you're clutchin at straws trying to come up with a reason against fixing tents, LOL. Vehicles disappearing on a character's death would cause problems so let's leave them be and just have tents disappear on their owner's death.
-
You don't physically hack the tree to get wood and it's only 30 seconds, not the end of the world. There should be no combat icon showing that someone used a hatchet near you though, that's a joke.

Been unable to play the game lately due to insane Ping issues.
Mos1ey replied to Abandonedcartoon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Speak for yourself. I've had as low as 7 ping in DayZ before. xD -
It's a 0.19% spawn rate. Pretty rare TBH. I always find them in deer stands. :)
-
It isn't gay if the balls don't touch.
-
You can't be going to two places at the same time so I'm confused as to why you'd want 2 waypoints anyway. :S

What Does DayZ Mean To You? (PvP or Survival)
Mos1ey replied to An_Atomic_Penguin's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
For me it's all about surviving and helping other people survive, but you can't survive without fighting bandits sometimes so PvP is part of that. MW3 kid behaviour... -
This. It's easier to get back to your body or have your friends pick up your gear if you're with a group though.
-
Yeah, most vehicles are a pain in the arse the first time you try and find the spot to refuel and access gear. xD
-
Don't put gamma all the way up, it looks fucked up. If you put it on about 1.3 you can see and everything still looks relatively normal.
-
Been suggested a few times, there will probably be new zombie models in the standalone.
-
I had 2 stored in a bus on my current home server... The bus disappeared on a server reset before I could use either of them. u,u
-
I'd love to see a 'classic zombie' mod for DayZ where 1 bite means you slowly die and become a zombie yourself. I wish I wasn't so clueless when it comes to coding. :(
-
I can never find decent military gear
Mos1ey replied to BwobBwub's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Most people get things like NVG and range finders from killing bandits that probably found a set once and have been duping them since, lol. I've found them as loot spawns once each at the NW airfield barracks, every other time I've had them I got them from bandits bodies or tents. -
I like it. Like other people have said it gives too much info on your killer and it's a bit too PvP focused but I'd be happy to see a polished version of this in the game.
