Cronic (DayZ)

Welcome. Firstly the fact you live in Hawaii; i'm insanly jealous. Living in England, well, it aint exactly Mary'fucking'Poppins but not far off. Fricking cold & wet :( Secondly... I'm insanely jealous you live in Hawaii. Hows your stay in Cherno? I'd wager not as warm & as friendly as home :)

Nice. I had good ol chuckle watching this shit :)

Please extract peice of wood from anus. Or would you rather, I make a gramatical or spelling error? :)

I once saw a fraps clip (on this forum some where) of a hacker spawned as a goat that farted rainbows. I kid you not LOL!! Now, if someone can do that?! :)I don't know about you, but that's hilarious, if hackers did that shit, no worries. But as soon as these little script fuckers got their grubby little mitts on DayZ.. *shakes fists at the sky*... I'd learn em, i'd learn em good!

The biggest, as already stated, is the artifacts, WOOT!! But the amount of hacking is rediculous. When i first started all those months back, coming across a hacker was extremely rare for me. I guess because they were the first hackers, they'd maybe coded the scripts themselves, so they tended to be a little more creative :) But now? Now its: teleport in kill when your back is turned maybe strip your corpse teleport out. Or teleport you into the middle of nowhere 1000ft in the air.....cunts!! Needless to say i'm also waiting for the standalone.

What the fuck are you doing stood there...FACEHUGGERS DUDE?!! Beans, you love em, ave em :)

Jeeze Mr. Worstcase :) Anywho, devs have seen the light due to Rocket & his undead. I think you'll see alot of wanabes in the next few years. Fear not the loss of sourcecode & all hail backups.

You sick fuck!! Love it. Have my beans :)

LOL! That's a very, very good point. The standalone better be good :) Oh love the HG Wells quote. Beans for you.

I like it, i truley do however; the vast majority of people on this forum, me included, think from only one perspective. I wonder how many copies of ARMA2 have sold off the back off DayZ? A few i'd imagine. My point is that the DayZ standalone is a product. Looking from the devs perspective, this product needs to sell to as many people as they can. I think the key people are in place to give us a truely great standalone, but the priority is getting a return on an investment. Taking away things like sniper rifles alienates people who would of otherwise bought it. I don't think taking away is necessarily adding to the experence. There's loads of ways that you could make it scary again. e.g Adding newer, more formidable foes would be a great. More diverse weaponary, zombies running in buildings. as you said in your OP 'That's just a start' But i do love the realisim that your suggesting. I only hope the standalone will be as open to the moddding community as ARMA2. Never forget your roots :)

My 1st game was finding out how much I could take the piss in regards to distance & stance vs zombies. As you could imagine, I didn't last long. This went on for a while :)

OMG!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!

You have a good point. But again you have veteran/expert servers if you want that. I understand that you may not want the rest of the realism but for now, that's all we've got. Anyway, I think you're worth saving my friend, have my beans.

I found one & had it for a while. All i can say god help whoever is at the business end :)

Not if it's to simulate potential structural imperfections within a design..... Ok, i'll shut the fuck up & stop being a gimp :)

Wow, big red danger words, you mean business. You're very, very wrong though. DayZ IS a game & sometimes, I think people should remember that. I use 3rd person for exactly your second point, the FOV is limited. but only by the format of my monitor. I agree with you to a certain extent. This should remain a no compromise game, with no perks for being good little boys & girls etc, no-kill zones etc. The thing is dude, you come across like a, well, a bit of a Nazi! You want the 'Simulation'? Play on expert servers. Me, i'll just take regular for now because, damn it, I just love my 3rd person :)

You got killed by a crossbow?! Jeeze, i've never managed to kill anything with one of those :)

WTF? I truly don't understand some peoples thinking. Why is this here?

@ OP. I think that's bollocks, utter bollocks.

I guess us 'ordinary' people can't all be a bubbling cauldren of fresh, new thought provoking posts. Congrats on taking the time to point that out & on being you :)

I've been on populated servers & lesser. I've still come up against hackers. The other day I was on one server with 3 people. I was on top of green mountain I parked my character in bush to check my pack just in time as a hacker teleported on to my perevious location. I had fuck all in the way of weapons so i stayed hidden, he hunted around & then teleported off...the one time I didn't have Fraps running. I guess from my point of view I play DayZ less because of these twats but, I love ARMA 2, so there's plenty for me to do until the stand alone.

On UK118, Frid 8th Sept around 8pm GMT. I spawned in & got butchered by a teleporter. I respawned & after a a few minutes I was teleported into midair only to drop to my death into the middle of the ocean as did everyone else it seemed. The only one who survived was a player named 'James2' I heard lot's of people accusing that particular guy, but I/We have NO proof. Anyone get proof of that night, I'll be interested to see?

Please check the minimum requirements for ARMA2. Processor: Dual Core CPU for Intel or AMD Memory/RAM: 1 GB Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 7800 / ATI Radeon 1800 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM Hard Disk Space: 10 GB Operating System: Windows XP or Windows Vista Best will in the world, you're cutting it fine. Up your CPU, RAM & GPU. Also Vista is a heap. Window 7 so far is far less resource intensive.

I don't see any hate for people who legitimately horde. I see hate for dupers & hackers.

That's a very good point. That's a very good point.
