No DevBlog this week but here is some screens
DemonGroover replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Gummy - my honest advice to you is make your own thread about your grievances and discuss those things there. I am sure we are (almost) all adult enough to have an intelligent discussion without troll posts coming left right and centre. You obviously have a problem with the way the SA is progressing, so tell us in a constructive manner what you think the problems are and how they can be rectified. -
In regards to loot - the large amount of loot is just for testing purposes. Rocket has said that in SA since loot can pretty much spawn anywhere it will be much rarer - it will be more spread out and not in nice little loot piles. Zombies - these are not the final zombies - new animations (skeleton) are coming and remember the female zombie from an earlier dev blog?

What's your most favorite part about Day Z?
DemonGroover replied to KateUpton's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Definitely not the actual PvP aspect of the game. More the possibility of PvP is what makes this game so engrossing for me. Seeing a player from afar releases the tension somewhat. It is the not knowing if you are being watched or not - this is what makes this game so different, that constant feeling of paranoia. No other game gives these sorts of emotions. At least for me. -
Having no death messages (and no flies sound) also means players could play dead.
-
^ Yep agree. Same way that you should have to keep track of how many bullets you think you have left.
-
I am sure the kill can be recorded just not displayed until inspected. Idk actually, it's a valid point i suppose.
-
I saw a mod of DayZ once (not sure which) which only gave a person a murder or kill once they inspected the body. I thought this was a good way of forcing players to check their kills. Bad for camping snipers i suppose, but tough shit.

Servers That Have Base Building And Protection
DemonGroover replied to kflo01's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Why do you want protection for your gear when offline? This defeats the purpose of the game doesn't it? An alarm that warns players to leave a camp or they die?? Some players are gonna be in for one hellava shock when Standalone is released, let me tell you. -
IED's would be a great addition as well.

I hope the Server owner doesn't wonder
DemonGroover replied to Tysonn's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think it is fair to say that if admins abuse their powers they will eventually lose all the players and be left alone with themselves and their own little clan. There are a lot of great admins and servers out there you just have to find a good one. -
My two cents about endgame and NPC's
DemonGroover replied to theszerdi's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I am against NPCs for the simple reason that they are stupid and another player is not - or if they are the fact that all Survivors and Bandits are humans means that there is a vast variety in skill level and tactics. AI can never compete with a human player. Not in the long run. This is why zombies are the perfect AI protagonist. They are stupid and do one thing only - run at the player and try to kill them. -
VG247 - May 2013 - Interview with Rocket
DemonGroover replied to SmashT's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
^^Too true. At the moment the fact everyone has their weapon raised leads to confusion as you don't really know what a players intention is. If it takes a conscious effort (ie holding a key) to point your weapon you can assume that it isn't a friendly gesture. Of course by then it could be too late. -
The next patch 1.7.7 promises to be a good one.

Minimum GFX settings PLEASE! - FAO Rocket
DemonGroover replied to irzero's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Call me stupid but if i play a game i usually want it to look as good as possible. Disabling some things because your rig can't handle it is one thing but lowering everything for a tactical advantage? What pros! I never really thought about it much before but i think a minimum setting needs to be implemented. Being able to disable everything shouldn't be allowed. -

You give Groovers a bad name, pal. -
Hey there. Welcome to the forums and DayZ My advice to anyone new is just to jump in and experience it all for yourself. Those first few weeks are awesome and i kinda miss them, blundering around not knowing what to do, running screaming from a horde of chasing zombies....ahhh, memories. As for the Standalone, as said it will cost you a gradational amount depending when you jump in. Low for alpha, more for beta, even more for release (you only pay the one time though).

Lets be honest: How many times?
DemonGroover replied to krihelion's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Some people seem to claim they have never died to zombies and i find this very hard to believe. I have been Mike Tyson'd many a time trying to hack zombies to death. There isnt any shame in it. -
Welcome. I dont have goals anymore but i used to see how many zombie headshots i could make.
-
It is all liable to change (i assume, who knows) - i imagine fonts and the way menus look are probably the last thing on programmer's minds. That's what artists are for.
-
No - when people complain about a font i can not stand by and be sensible!
-
It is a disgrace, i am boycotting Standalone and meeting up with Rhino for a coffee tomorrow. He was dead right! I can't believe this - who uses fonts like that?

DayZ Origins, Where the hell do I...
DemonGroover replied to Meeshe's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
You build them in the Private Hives area. :P -
Could it be possible to put a train in DayZ?
DemonGroover replied to Poncho Villa's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Considering we as players can fix Huey helicopters i don't see why we aren't capable of fixing a train. The track is a bit small though isn't it? Would be nice if it did a circular journey around Chernarus. And yes this has been discussed before. -

Scarlett Johansson naked on a bed wouldn't impress you would it? -

This is disinfectant. Remember those diseases Rocket has been talking about? Better clean those beans you steal off that dead body.
