Can I die from not eating
sostronk replied to ItsThatCanadian's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yeah you can. Ive died from it once. If your new to this, you got to learn to hunt. Having canteens/water bottles really help as can refill them at water holes. -
Two spawn at the lighthouse near that big mountain (i think its unofficially called "milk mountain"). They are teh easiest to find on a fresh spawn.
-
You killed 10-15 of them after the last 2 and you still have 0 murders/bandit kills.

Hackers must be shaking in their boots...

State of Helicopters on Servers (our server as proof)
sostronk replied to torokfremen's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
My understanding was after it was destroyed it would respawn seven days later at one if six locations that are identified on the dayz db map. -
Why did you destroy their tents? Im in the habit of taking what I want, recording the location and moving on. This way I have somewhere to go back to later on if Im in need of anything. I don't get why people destroy them. EDIT: Also, why are there two dead bodies in front of you but you don't have and murders?

Why the hell are there so many guns?
sostronk replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
True that. And if you have a tent with duped AS50s you can pretty much skip right to the end game right after you die. -

sostronk replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Im with the OP here. The endgame right now is completely retarded and weapons that you can get are a major reason for this. -
What does script restriction #55 mean actually?
sostronk replied to pvtjelo's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It means you should stop scripting in loot to rebuild vehiclles. -
Can anyone explain how aiming works in this game?
sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Im fairly sure he wasn't, I abused him for having god mode on in voice com and then he died about a minute later to one of the guys I was playing with. He might have felt guilty for being so obvious and turned them off. But don't know. I don't know how I could miss from that range. Thanks for the tips though guys. Ill practice doing this. I like the idea of working on my MG for suppressing fire in a squad :) -

sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
He was 1meter away. I was literally standing over the top of him. Ive fired alot of Machine guns in real life, I know how terrible the spread can be on them, particularly from a standing position. "IRL" the guy would have had at least 50 rounds in him, in this he had none :( I switched from aiming down the site initially then panicked and switched to hip fire after reloading. -
Standalone Alpha - what will the "low price point" be?
sostronk replied to musicrab's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I really think $20 is extremely cheap. I hope they bring out DLC and other cash sinks into this game for players so that devs have a financial incentive to develop the game more. -
The tactical significance of sniper rifles, accumulated rebuttals and why they're here to stay
sostronk replied to ZedsDeadBaby's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If the fixed the duping expoits and script spawning of weapons, every man and his dog (in next patch) wouldn't have one. The problem is anyone can easily pick up sniper rifles, scripters/dupers would be responsible for a large majority of these high end weapons. -
A little too cheap IMO. That might sound strange to some people, but I find with games the more I spend the more I get in terms of development. 15 Euros really isn't much incentive for developers to continue developing and adding content after release.

What would you like to see in the stand alone?
sostronk replied to NovaDose's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
- A party/clan system that doesn't make me run 20km across a map just to play with a clan mate. - Unique characters to chose from beyond "Female" or "Male", maybe even so unique that they have various bonus' in game - Option to play as multiple characters - Zombie packs/hordes. Right now they just spawn on specific points. I want to see some sweep areas (like in The Walking Dead). - All building to be enterable - My options for skins that aren't going to put you at an inherent disadvantage if you don't have a ghillie suit - Balance loot so that there is better loot at night time... higher risk/higher reward. - A better way to deal with gear inflation beyond player camp raiding. -
How do people spot people instantly...seriously
sostronk replied to Slyguy65's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Terrain and graphics settings can make a big difference. I was playing in a night time server last night and there was someone about 50metres away from me. I could see him but he couldn't see me. Lucky for him Im a bad shot. He kept running through a field while I took pots shots and then he ALT+f4. -
Found hacked items, don't know what to do.
sostronk replied to kingpootis102's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ask the hacker to spawn a ghillie suit to go with your kit. -
Why bother. They are in such obvious places and its impossible to hide. I set up a base with a couple of vehicles and tents and it gets raided and destroyed. Its easier to just use other peoples tents for storage and steal what you want.

I dont bother making tents anymore
sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
lol no not same one. None of us died. That is, unless you killed someone else who was looting, We had a V3S, 3UAVs, Mortorcycle, Ural, Car (the crap one) and the hilux and 4 tents. The vehicles and tents were full of gear. When I got on the next day all vehicles were gone but the hilux and moto which were tipped over and the tents were run over. For some reason after the server reset the tents and some fo the vehicles came back. Just gonna use whats left and then use other peoples stuff. -

I can give you coordinates this afternoon. Im at work atm and I have the mapping and general coordinates to sweep for tents on my home computer. -

sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Im not complaining, Im bringing up a point that they are a waste of time. Its more efficient to just steal other peoples stuff than it is to loot your own. -

sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Theres no point. My base (and a few others) were raided two nights back. Then last night 4 new tents are placed 200m south of were our base was/is and 4 tents appear 600m North of were our base is. Both of these tents are full of gear. Then last night a hacker nukes the server. I hit the first town on respawn and head back to the tents coordinates and Im fully geared straight away and could do this several times just off these two tent cities. I also know where about 12 other camps are withing 5km of this area so Im pretty much permanantly set on this server. -

sostronk replied to sostronk's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I never go to Cherno on a fresh respawn. If I spawn in Cherno Ill hit it quickly and then head North to the next town. The really massive tent cities can be found along the West side and North side of the map. Travel up the West side of the map and you can be fully geared alot quicker than you can by looting towns. -
The reason I dupe my gear and spread it across multiple servers. This.

Personally I think there are some other weapons that need more nerfs (M107, AS50, M4A1 CCO SD). Balance is out of whack though, as I also feel some weapons need a buff.
