Are dogs worth 2 months of development time?

Nice to know that 2,000 bans do nothing
Sneakers O'Toole replied to electroban's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm guessing that at least %20 of people who play this game hack. 20% of 1.2 million = 240 000 hackers spread across what? 5000 servers = 48 hackers per server. 2000 or 12000 is almost irrelvant. Obviously I am not saying that there are 48 hackers in every server but you get the point. -
You ever get killed in the most remote place possible and wonder if it was just bad luck or a hacker?
Sneakers O'Toole replied to DarthVolga's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I logged in once completely hidden by xmas tree leaves ( 2 trees close together), 3 secs later I got shot. But another time: there were only me and 1 other person on the map. I was in a remote corner looking for a good tent placement, and I hear an atv. So I hide and pop out in front of him and kill him. From his point of view, that could look like teleport hack. -
@Rocket; Does it really have to be zombies?
Sneakers O'Toole replied to daedrick's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If someone would make a game like this with H.R. Geiger aliens and or Predators, ie enemies that are suprememly efficient and scary killing machines, then there could exist some pve to balance out the pvp. Maybe someone can make a mod of the standalone... But maybe the infected will be something to be feared in the standalone... -
You can simply change the gamma setting from your videocard software. DayZ has no power to control that. So there is nothing that can be done.

Why is everybody so satisfied with ARMA2 Engine?
Sneakers O'Toole replied to EndEffeKt's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I like the game but there are some really lame aspects like *the movement in buildings is awful, thew way the character stops for 4 secs if you jump on or off stairs is retarded. *and how you cannot turn inside even though you can see there is adequate room, and your primary is strapped to your back horizontally. *the ladder animation is also retarded, the fact that (at the top) there is no intervening state between being on the ladder and being off the ladder. *the fact atv's and bridges create new crazy physics *getting in/out of water pushes you through the floor. *helicopter rotors seem to have the physical properties of dark matter. *the capriciousness of the opendoor/remove cat wire soft select mechanism. Is this lame stuff going to be able to be taken care of in the hybrid engine? Also they really need to add the reverb to gunshots;the game needs air. Also it needs a texture overhaul, 'skyrim' mountain between cherno/electro is particularly ugly. -

I'm sure there's some kind of link betweeen those two statement but I just can't put my finger on it...? -
How do people feel about tents? (not about the bugs)
Sneakers O'Toole replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
As many people go there to snipe snipers as anything else. 'Really lucky respawn' lol, it's not that lucky and you can just die until you get the one you want. My point is that this is a common way to re-gear in 2-10mins exactly what you had before without tents. What EXACTLY doesn't make sense in what I said, and why does it not make sense? -

Suggestions for the DayZ standalone - thinking outside of the limitations of an Arma 2 mod.
Sneakers O'Toole replied to ruarz's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
There are lot's of good ideas here, i really hope that the devs read this thread. -
How do people feel about tents? (not about the bugs)
Sneakers O'Toole replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
So what about if you die in pvp comabt, your teamates control the location you died in. You spawn 2 mins away and re-gear by looting your own corpse. That is far easier than previously finding and storing weapons in a location. By removing storage you just give even more power to squads/clans, and make it harder for lone wolfs. I think most of the people complaining about storage are survivors who avoid confrontations. It's easy to survive in this game that way, so you are only going to die once a fortnight, so permadeath is just, 'oh I lost my zombie kills...' But even the very best pvp players die regularly. Rocket's stance is to allow scope for all kinds of playstyles. A lot of people like to collect and build bases. It will be a major part of the game, as evidenced by the underground building features, that have been talked about in the SA. -

Sneakers O'Toole replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well, neither will I be reborn with a different coloured jacket, with knowledge identical to that I had previously. Even in your scenario I can still run to some other players campsite. If you really want to lose everything when you die in DayZ, your cd key should become invalid. How would you like that? -

Sneakers O'Toole replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I really dont understand why people automatically expect that tents should dissapear upon player death. If I go and make a tent in my garden, then jump in front of a train, the tent will remain, obviously. -

Sneakers O'Toole replied to ruarz's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
It's probably already considered by the programmers, but the dogs and players need 'idle movement' like in all other fps shooters when you stand still the char still moves and makes little 'idle movements. I just saw a demo of the dogs and it just looks unatural when the live beings are dead still. -
Hunting in Cherno (As50 / MK48) Stream!
Sneakers O'Toole replied to Freshling's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think in general streamers try to not use hacked weapons like the AS50 TWS you are using. -
*REMINDER ON POSTING ON THESE FORUMS*
Sneakers O'Toole replied to Delta Smoke 01's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
So what happens when the 'mods' are guilty of nonsensical logic and of simply not doing the job of moderating a forum? nonsensical logic/stupidity: Allowing a thread to exist that advertises the location of hacked/duped weapons to 1000's of people. Whereby previoulsy locking threads that simply ask for hacked weapons. Huh? So it is not ok to ask for hacked weapons, but it IS ok to advertise the location of an unending supply? not doing the job of moderating a forum: I even sent a pm to the mod in this thread, but nothing was done about the post i mentioned. Factually and objectively can I not say that this situation is stupid, ridiculous? Who is responisble for perpetuating this scenario: the mods? Before the auto-butthurt fanboy crusaders, get all buthurt and crusadey: If you have done as much camp finding and hacked weapon removal as I have, you might be a bit more bothered by this stupidity/dereliction of duty. Anyway I am going to purposely make camps of duped hacked weapons and advertise them on a regular basis (because that is fully endorsed by this website), and bump the other thread until that thread is deleted... -
Are AS50 TWS's in the game or hacked?
Sneakers O'Toole replied to MXGStatik's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
They are in the game and you can use them if you find them. It is ok to advertise their locations at this website, (but if you ask for one your thread will be deleted) here is a link to a location for x50 each duped hacked weapons: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/82460-free-camp-loot-weapons-galore/#entry777642 I used to take out hacked weapons from tents and save the tents, but this website ruined all that by their blatent inneficiency. So fuck it. Lets join em' I'm now going to start to use the tws also. -
*REMINDER ON POSTING ON THESE FORUMS*
Sneakers O'Toole replied to Delta Smoke 01's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
That's all well and good, but perhaps you might want to remove threads with coords to duping camps containing hacked weapons. http://dayzmod.com/f...re/#entry777642 -
very serious counter hacking :)
Sneakers O'Toole replied to gambla's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Agreed. -
Is there a way to spot tents easily? Even when well hidden.
Sneakers O'Toole replied to freak367's topic in New Player Discussion
You didn't read/understand the post. @op, It's still worth hiding them well, but there are loads of ways they can be found with hacker shit and plant file deletion, I think admins can decipher logs as well. -
Are the serveres going to become BI/gamespy or whatever controlled, ie not random users?
-
Kills/time in game ratio?
Sneakers O'Toole replied to Hank_scorpio's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
So you'll be corruptforce then. Either you or Demon or Milton or Twonk is a hacking piece of shit. -
Just me and him on the server. I was reversing on grass by beach in elektro and pulling out my pdwsd to deal with a Z then insta-hacker-death. Can you check logs please. Was about 2215 25/08/12.

Can I wear a ghillie suit safely?
Sneakers O'Toole replied to Man vs Wild's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
drop your backpack. then put on ghillie, then pick up backpack. -
1. Stop moaning. 2. Always act as though you are in the sights of someones scope. 3. If you are moving then there is a good chance they will miss the 1st shot, especially as a lot people who have AS50's are shite at shooting. - Run in a non-linear fashion towards them and shoot them in the face.
