I've died two times now without any reasonable explanation. Must be some sort of bug.
-
Never touched it myself, but I can sympathize.
-
''Hacker'' is shorter.
-
I think me and a friend got killed yesterday by a ''pbo hacker'', so wouldn't be surprised if it's the same case here.
-
I guess Rust does and WarZ (or Infestationwhatever) did come close to that, but as far as I'm concerned they're still ways off. DayZ is really quite unique.
-
Thanks for the warning. I only melee zombies though as I don't want to broadcast my presence to any nearby survivors.
-
That Mosin is looking mighty fine. Can't wait to paint mine. Good point on the combat helmets, getting some camouflage on them would be nice. Mostly I'd like to paint the fireaxe -- that thing stands out the most.

I want to know how terrible hipfire and shooting on the move is
Metalunatic replied to crazyandlazy's topic in General Discussion
Why not just try it out for yourself in-game? -
Which DayZ Standalone resources do you use?
Metalunatic replied to marsmars's topic in General Discussion
I don't even bother looting the map fragments when I can just use dayzdb on the steam overlay. Dayzwiki is also quite a useful site. -
Nooooooooooooooooooooo, I don't like this. At all. I like the idea of stumbling across a dead body and wondering how he/she died and if the killer is still nearby. It puts you on edge. It takes away from the survival feel of the game when you can't see the ones who didn't survive. I don't think this is getting changed for performance reasons -- the mod worked fine with dead bodies. The fact that we can do corpse runs and recover our gear might be lame to some, but the earth swallowing dead survivors when 10 minutes have passed is more lame IMO.
-
I had hoped they would fix or at least restrict server hopping before lowering spawn percentages. Don't really see the point in this right now.
-
Agreed on both points.

Speaking of delayed animations, have you guys noticed how you can't hit the deck anymore, so to speak? In the mod you could make your character jump forwards and prone while running, but now it's very stiff and takes forever. -
Since most of the western spawns got removed and people spawn very often on the east coast, it would seem Berezino is the new Chernogorsk. At least I've been able to find lots of people there since the spawns got tweaked.

Holy hell! Red glowing bullet firing hacker gun?!
Metalunatic replied to jcrose803's topic in General Discussion
Can't say that I have, no. At least not in this game. I'm off to spread the word of these intergalactic space alien hackers. -
I can only hope I am half as good as mooky32 someday. You utter expert, you! :P

Sooo you can put a protector case inside a protector case...
Metalunatic replied to joeymp's topic in General Discussion
Huh, good point. Kind of missed the plastic part there. :D -
Thanks for the fix. I've had this a few times and now I know how to get rid of it effectively if it comes back. Beans for you.
-
I don't think I could go back to the mod anymore. Just feels like too much of a step backwards. I'm enjoying standalone, even with high end gear.

[poll] Do you play 3rd person, 1st person, or both?
Metalunatic replied to joeymp's topic in General Discussion
First person always. I don't like how one can abuse the 3pp to see behind walls or even through them. First person gives a more immersive experience anyway. -
I've got 138 hours under my belt.

Metalunatic replied to joeymp's topic in General Discussion
Quoted from dayz wiki. ''A molded plastic container that seals with an airtight and watertight gasket. Meets standards for waterproofing, stacking, impact, and durability to military standards. The Small Protector Case can be used to store 6 small items while only using 4 inventory slots. It seems to have been modelled after Pelican brand cases - often nicknamed PeliCases - and has also inherited the hardiness and resistance of the original product. Keeping items in it will protect them from damage otherwise incurred onto them.'' This lets us understand that it should protect against melee/bullet damage. -

Metalunatic replied to joeymp's topic in General Discussion
Exactly. Hopefully we'll see a fix for this soon, but it's not a priority to be honest. -
That is a dangerous, and false assumption. I've never had to endure the humiliation of getting punched in the head and eventually knocked out/killed by a bambi, but my friends have.

Mine happened at the abandoned military base south-east of Vybor. We were checking the two story barracks with a buddy when an axe-wielding survivor runs through the front doors directly towards me whilst I was guarding the entrance. Naturally, I pepper him full of holes with my M4 and unceremoniously started looting his stuff.
