Suggestions for the DayZ standalone - thinking outside of the limitations of an Arma 2 mod.
DemonGroover replied to ruarz's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
A toolbox should take up a lot of room in your inventory, but why not have a smaller option like a Multi-tool like a Leatherman. I have one at home and it has served me well in that i very rarely need to open my toolbox -
[Suggestion] Some great ideas: from an aircraft carrier ran aground offshore to class-defining clothing
DemonGroover replied to A.Shephard's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I think they are called Spike Strips. Good idea - i would love to place one across a road near a blind turn and watch the carnage! -
New Locations or Buildings for Standalone
DemonGroover replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
An amusement park - now there's an idea. Zombieland anyone? And what about a cameo from Bill Murray? -
Not an expert on guns, but i would just like to see believable weapons that could actually be found in Chernarus. I know nothing about AS50's but by basing my knowledge on DayZ they must be one of the most common guns out there!

Me thinks Rocket's head has been turned with all the buzz around Day Z. I dont actually know where he would find the time to do regular updates. Perhaps being the Project Lead he can now delegate specific programmers to do regular updates to the mod while he focusses on the Standalone (which, rightly so, has to be his focus right now) In the end though, despite what we may think and desire, he doesnt owe us anything.

You just respawned, head to Elektro/Cherno or straight North?
DemonGroover replied to welch's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I used to do the Northern Run but it got a bit boring and with the hackers holding your life in their hands why bother with the effort? Now i just hang in Cherno, though i occasionally venture to Elektro and Baltota. I dont care too much if i die i just enjoy the sights. Spawning Choppers, Auto-bot snipers, flying cows. In serious mode though then definitely head north if you want to stay alive for any length of time. In the cities it is only a matter of time before you hear the pfffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttt.............You Are Dead. -
Inventory UI concept design v2.1 (window based)
DemonGroover replied to joeyslucky22's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I think people are getting caught up with the fact that it possibly looks cluttered. But with all the stuff you are carrying shouldnt this be the case? If you are fully geared and loaded you would start resembling the Michellin man and i would hasten to add not very mobile or fast. To me DayZ works on visuals rather than stats. I would much rather see an item in my pack than Beans (5). One thing i dont want however is the Inventory to go all Skyrim. Lets make sure the system is realistic. Can you really put an AS50 in a backpack? Carry a large toolbox? A system that makes you think about what to take and what to leave behind is fine by me. -
So I found an MK-48 Mod...
DemonGroover replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I recently found one as well. Great weapon. Lots of ammo if you dont go crazy. -
I have heard that if you do such a thing you will bring the Apocalypse down upon us......oh, wait........shit!
-
I thought you meant open pits or underground mines - now they would be cool.
-
I really hate nametags. Totally lame in my book.
-
I know - realistically it would take three shots.

Loot shouldnt respawn - ever!

If you go to Green Mountain and drink a Mountain Dew at 3am you are awarded with being turned into a God. Or was that a dog?

New Locations or Buildings for Standalone
DemonGroover replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I can understand instanced bases to prevent ghosting, but as far as locations/other buildings go i am sure this isnt on the cards. Now i am not too sure due to geographic reasons but coming across a huge mansion could be fun. I remember seeing the mansion in Fallout 3 Point Lookout and thinking it was pretty creepy and cool. How about an offshore oil rig, miles out to see, but visible on the horizon? Its been mentioned before but the same could be done with an aircraft carrier. -
In the next patch, sometime around November, it will be gone.

New Locations or Buildings for Standalone
DemonGroover replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I'd just hope for a few new surprises for us Alpha players who have seen every inch of Chernarus. -
New Locations or Buildings for Standalone
DemonGroover replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I know it is asking a lot but having as much variety as possible is key. How many enterable building types are there in Chernarus at the moment? A dozen? Even a change in colour makes a difference to being able to see the same red bricked house all the time. What about a golf course? Submarine base? Open Pit or underground mine? You could literally fill the landscape with interesting and variable places. And yes, expand on the Green Mountain myth. -
New Locations or Buildings for Standalone
DemonGroover replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I know that Rocket wants to instance the undergorund player bases but nothing else should be instanced. You are right, it would ruin the experience, -
New Locations or Buildings for Standalone
DemonGroover replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I wouldnt want these locations to be instanced. How about a nuclear facility? A car factory? -
AI Bandit/Military/Civilian survivors
DemonGroover replied to Ind0ctr1n3's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Though i dont really want to see armed AI bandits or survivors i think spicing the landscape up with uninfected civilians might be a nice touch. They could pretty much serve the same purpose as animals do (apart from being able to eat them) in that they could be found randomly wandering a field, but also found cowering in a house or being chased by zombies. I dont think its gonna happen though. -
I must say that the moment in Dead Island where you see the plane go overhead about to crash in the jungle was pretty cool.

What? Who said that?? Who's there?

Oculus Rift support for stand alone DayZ
DemonGroover replied to soapmak3r's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
This is the future. Expect people to suffer heart attacks in a game like Day Z though
