Why DayZ is both the BEST and the WORST game in recent time.
sostronk replied to deathdealer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Having vehicles is like putting a target on yourself. Same with pitching tents. I found when I stopped pitching tents and using vehicles the consistency with getting killed with hackers dropped dramatically. I kind of caught on after 3 nights in a row of pitching a tent and then proceeding to get killed by a teleporting godmode hacker that they don't like them. Alot of hackers don't like hoarders and tbh, neither do I. -
Why DayZ is both the BEST and the WORST game in recent time.
sostronk replied to deathdealer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The average Joe only lasts 1hour and 6 minutes of gameplay. The whole emersion in this game is based around risk taking and reward. Eventually your going to take a risk that gets you killed. On my current life Ive played about 20 hours without death. I honestly wouldn't care if I got killed (even if it was a hacker) because I can start again, I can explore the game a bit more a start a new journey with a new life. Having high end gear gets restrictive and boring after a while. The content in this game is quite small and will probably stay that way from what I have seen, not to mention its way too easy to come by. Something I have learnt is that if you let go of the fear of death and losing your gear in this game you will enjoy it alot more and play better. And to be completely honest with you, almost all of my deaths in the last 3 weeks have been by a hacker. I honestly cannot remember the last time I was killed by a legitimite player. Some of the hackers have angered me, but in the end I found myself enjoying the game more because I had a fresh start. I know the annoyance with dieing to a hacker, it would probably be more annoying if the game wasn't so easy to play. -
Shit DayZ players say (contribute!)
sostronk replied to DannyFilming's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
"Fuck I spawned in Kamenka, wait a minute im going to suicide to Zombies so I can spawn in Cherno" "Just going to hit up Cherno then Ill meet up with you North of Cherno"... Five hours later, still haven't "met up" with them. "Friendly?" BOOM -
I have morals. I only combat log when someone is trying to kill me.

Sometimes when Ive flipped vehicles, after logging back in they have appeared back on their wheels. Could be that a server restart did it. Damn ATV's so easy to roll at night.

Dayz, fanboyz myths , and impact of hacking on the game [different approach]
sostronk replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Pretty much spot on Smasht_AU. The Admins can activate an automatic kick for alot of the scripts that are being used as well. Unfortunately not all of them are even doing this. -
Those supermarkets can get a bit crazy with loot spawns. Tents are something Ive found tonnes of in them as well, particularly the berezhino one.

I play legit and do no duping, server hopping, hacking or any exploit I know whatsoever. I don't use tents and dont touch vehicles, only ride bicycles when I find them. Food, water and medical supplies are way too easy to come by. I only carry one primary weapon with me at all times and my Alice pack is full of food, water and medical supplies at all times. Usually when looting I will eat and drink since Im full of food and water and found more. There are way too many canned foods in the game as it is, then you can hunt on top of that. Hunting should be a necessity after the first hour or so of a life. I constantly pick up soda cans and dont even touch the water bottles... which should be a necessity to keep and refill regularly. If you hit up a hospital once you have all the medical supplies you need for tens of hours, which is rediculously easy to do. Zombies pose no threat whatsoever once you know how to deal with them properly. I don't loot bodies for ammo or weapons as I want to take out the factor that i may be using duped/hacked weapons, yet weapons and ammo are still really easy to come by for low and mid range weapons. Hit up a couple of deer stands (which are way too easy to loot with only 3 zombies) if you have an AK (insert variant) and you will have all the ammo you need. If your using a different primary like CZ550 you will get all the ammo you need and then some from barns. All low and mid range weapons and ammo are easy to get. I can't comment on high level because of the graphical glitches I cant get close to military spawns very often. There are only a few loot items that are even close to being balanced. NVGs and range finders seem about right. Pretty much everything else is too common.

[REVIEW] DayZ Staff Communication

Meh. Nothing new. Developers have always been horrible when it comes to communicating with their target audience. -

So don't get so attached to your gear. Your not supposed to survive forever. -
Starting with/without a gun
sostronk replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Id rather a hatchet than a makarov anyways. You can pick a hatchet up almost straight away after spawning. -
NVG drop from "pilot zombies".
sostronk replied to The2ndLink's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I can confirm that I have looted NVGs off Zombies at Chopper Crash sites and Military Zombies at deer stands. The only way I have got NVGs in this game are off Pilot Zombies at crash sites, Military Zombies at deer stands and by looting other players, their vehicles or tents. Ive never had NVGs from standard "in building" loot drops. EDIT: Although I don't loot the military loot places often as I suffer from the graphical glitches and I nothing Ive tried works. -
Banditry: The Underappreciated Service to the DayZ Community...ATM
sostronk replied to kayakinack's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Bandits camping Cherno/Electro/Coast aren't a problem. Its the hackers camping Cherno/Elektro/Coast with unlimited ammo and godmode that are a problem. When there is nobody in Cherno/Elektro to kill they teleport North and kill players they can find, which isn't hard with ESP. Bandits do add a bit of intensity to a game where the PVE/Zombie/Survival components are pathetically easy to deal with. -
Vehicles.. Lets be honest
sostronk replied to kreatura (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hackers sort out clan vehicle hoarding almost right away. They also deal with tent placing. Both the Vehicle system and tents are broken and will continue to be until they are redesigned. -
Surely there can be more than PVP?
sostronk replied to TomCei's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Tell me more about how the philosophy of allowing players to do whatever they want in the game without consequence adds to morality. All it does is ensure the lack of creativity that individuals have degenerates the game into a PvP deathmatch that COD players would be proud of. -
I met 4 players today, 4 of them were hackers.
sostronk replied to Jimmy McNulty's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
All in a normal day of DayZ for me. -
Hes that bad at the game he relogged to avoid Zombies. Thats all I read.

Banned for using Hacked/duped weapons
sostronk replied to siam331's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Thats not a global ban then, only a server ban which is implemented by server admins, not BattleEye. Server admins can do what they like as far as Im concerned. -
Banned for using Hacked/duped weapons
sostronk replied to siam331's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Your missing the point. BattleEye isn't banning players who are in possession of hacked weapons. They are banning players who have scripted items in which are displayed in the players logs. Is someone claims they are banned for being in possession of a hacked weapon, have been banned for it and that they haven't used scripts in the game, they are full of shit. -
Seriously Zombies need to be more deadly
sostronk replied to Bonehead3535's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If your sneaking up to a barn your doing it wrong. Dude never crawl near Zombies, just run into the barn, clear it and get out. I never crawl, I sometimes crouch run and mostly I run. Know your buildings and know what the Zombies can and can't do and its no problemo. I consider snipers to be a threat way more than a pack of Zombies, crawling just puts me at risk. If your having problems, try practicing by running around Cherno and Elektro. Make it a goal never to crawl, only crouch or run. -
Id pay whatever price. If it was $100 up front and a subscription fee I would pay for it.

All tents and vehicles have been completely wiped...after the hive crashed.

Stop hoarding shit. -
Surely there can be more than PVP?
sostronk replied to TomCei's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The problem is with the game design direction. Rocket wants the game to not pidgeon hole players into playing roles, but to give the unlimited options. What this provides is absolutely no challenge whatsoever outside of PvP.
