how easy is it find a map
DemonGroover replied to TheMightyGrain's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
OK Mr Smarty Pants - where is this? And don't ask me - i have no idea! -
Hey that website (www.gamehypeXtreem.com) doesn't exist. It's like you made it up or something. It sounded good as well. Anyway.....back on track.....
-
Yeah but you are in on it as well!

I agree letting them lick the spoon for a taster does placate them for a while

(Regarding a batch of cookies being baked) Me: Sorry, you can't have one yet, you'll just have to wait. It wont be long. My 2 Year Old: (Laying on ground, kicking, screaming and crying) I want now, i want now! Sound familiar?

how easy is it find a map
DemonGroover replied to TheMightyGrain's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Maps are quite common in Residential areas - supermarkets, apartments etc. A run through Cherno or Elektro should get you a map. As for Standalone at E3 Rocket showed how we will find sections of the map rather than the whole map. These sections can then be crafted together to get a bigger map. -
The Ultra Rare in DayZ (game not mod)
DemonGroover replied to m.w. vindicator's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I really like your ideas. Limited ammo and the scarcity of high end weapons "should" help the KoS mentality - perhaps not initially, as i think a lot of players will take their mod tactics to the Standalone. Hopefully though they will be in for a bit of a shock as mod tactics shouldn't be as effective in the Standalone. If you only have a Winchester and 5 slugs would you waste them on a passing survivor who only has an axe? Maybe you would, but as you say, if you are a bandit why not hold the guy up and rob him instead of peppering him with bullets and potentially bringing dozens of screaming zeds down on your ass? PvP will always be there and we really need it in game, but hopefully the scarcity of weapons and ammo makes players think before shooting. I've got no problem at getting sniped by someone on Elektro's sniper hill if i stupidly leave myself vulnerable, but i really hope that bullet costs the sniper and also brings him some unwanted attention in the form of 20 zeds making a beeline for him. I also hope that the feeling of awe you got when you first found a good weapon in the mod returns. I remember when i first found an AKM - i was so excited and it is still my fav gun even today. As for your second suggestion - paranormal happenings - i too would enjoy some random visual and audio occurrences, not necessarily supernatural as i don't really think the Devs will go down that path. Subtle things can add great atmosphere though. A lantern lit, blood stained, empty cabin in the woods would be unnerving just for being there, especially at night. A siren going off at Green Mountain, a random person found hanged in the forest....things like that. Nice work. -
You're just not buff enough.

That's a damn good point. -
I have always liked the idea of finding random crashed trucks carrying loads of food and drink, much like crashed helis. Anyone remember the crashed Sno-ball van in Zombieland?

Evil i tells ya.....Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!

Tbh getting to the northern edge of the map is very easy, even armed with a hatchet, so i don't really see how getting to the edge of the map can be equated to end game. I don't think the Standalone is going to give "perks" such as equipment or anything. The idea of Standalone is to provide an authentic world and let us all go for it. I get the impression Rocket wants to kill us all in game not help us.

Why are people in these locations?
DemonGroover replied to khaenz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
That green blob north of Pusta is my dance party location. -
Better sights and telescopic sight for crossbow
DemonGroover replied to khaenz's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
If there is one weapon i'd want to use all the time it would be a scoped crossbow. Being able to stealth through a town and quietly kill zombies from distance would be ideal. Hopefully you'd be able to carry a few more bolts in a quiver as well. -
Here is a crazy idea, what if there was no weapon attachments?
DemonGroover replied to Lady Kyrah's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Coke bottle + duct tape = optic -
Bandits have a weak spot on their skulls - this is why embedding a hatchet there is always nice.
-
I am assuming there will be loads of books in Standalone so perhaps a few will be manuals and helpful.

Death on a stick out there mate.

Actually when bored i quite often play as a movie star and troll as many players as i can. I've been Samuel L Jackson, Keanu Reeves (i just say "Whoa!" a lot) and my favourite Robert DeNiro. "You talkin' to me?"

I met Lionel Ritchie once. He tried to kill me the bastard!

1399 Euros is a bit steep

Melee Weapon Quick Switch Help/Advice
DemonGroover replied to r4z0r49's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I really dont like the insta change model. Too arcady. For me i like the animations to run, even if the engine limitations mean the character has to stop for a few moments. -
The reddit mods are cool.
-
Never been a fan of compulsory skin change when humanity hits a certain level. For me we should be free to wear what we want and look how we want. And Standalone will do just that. The best bandits are those you don't suspect. If you were a bandit and you had a choice would you really advertise your intentions or blend in?

lol During the Cangate fiasco i did suggest a new drink on reddit but nobody liked the idea: Reddits Tears.
