dayz evolution in SA: [1] the loot system
DemonGroover replied to _Anubis_ (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I personally don't have the patience for loot farming but i concede it is an issue. The fact that most buildings and areas will be able to spawn loot should mean that there is actually less loot in one particular spot. And when it does spawn in a building it isn't in the same area all the time but spread out meaning searching and exploration becomes a necessity. Ideally i would like a scenario where finding items is not common place and stumbling upon a gun is a real find. -
OP - the zombie pathfinding and AI is being redone for Standalone. Your classic dead zombie isn't fast but your psychotic cannibal (a la 28 Days Later and DayZ) most definitely should be. A stamina system does worry me as (as has been said) not many games get it right. Being chased, hunted or just being in danger gives humans adrenaline. I would hope my adrenaline would keep me running rather than stopping to a crawl because i have run out of breath. It is a hard one to get right.

Needs canned muffins -
Yep, just so i can say...

Community Food and Drink Textures!
DemonGroover replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Nice job. Being able to set up my own library in my underground lair seems closer and closer. -
Best gun for player hunting
DemonGroover replied to Mr Yoloswag's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
DMR if you want to be safe in your little bush. Lee Enfield if you want a little face to face action. Hatchet/Crossbow if you are super hard core. -
I'd like Rocket to do more with fire
DemonGroover replied to bfisher's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Molotovs - definitely. Being able to blow up gas cannisters and fuel tanks? Would be cool. Bushfires - i am not expert in that region of the world but would a forest fire be plausible. Seems to rain an awful lot. You want bushfires then you'll have to wait for DayZ Australia. -
Is it the same server?

Wow guys there is a lot of great work here! Loving the books. And is that a can of muffins i see? -
Looking for people to play with!
DemonGroover replied to SquealingMoose's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Hey there. I will move to an area where people looking for others to play DayZ with can post, the Survivor HQ. Good luck -
I love that bow...
-
There are plenty of UK and Europe based servers..i think even East Coast US is good ping for you guys. You should try playing from Australia...
-
Hey there, welcome. Check out the Private Hives Discussion sub forum for details on private servers available. It can be a bit daunting at first finding a server. My recommendation is to use Play With Six or DayZ Commander to help out.

Why DayZ will fail as a standalone game

Sounds like magic to me. -

DemonGroover replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Oh no, you aren't getting away that easily.............details please! -
In Standalone i think the zombies will already be spawned so the old "zombies are here, there must be a player around" trick wont work. I think the idea of having some sleeper zeds is good. One or two could be lying around or leaning up against a wall.

Yep, adding wind factors will definitely spice things up. I may even applaud the sniper who shoots me in the head from 800m in a strong wind. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/130854-wind-and-ballistics-system/page__hl__windage

Long time fan and player, faith in SA and Rocket is gone.
DemonGroover replied to itsjustadeer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This is true. Maybe we all need a "holiday". I think we all want the same thing - Standalone to be great and for it to come out soon. -
Strapping large guns to a backpack is much more realistic than shoving one inside. Handguns and small weapons sure but putting a Lee Enfield in a small backpack seems a bit ridiculous. I also think the current change over (backpack weapon > primary swap) is too easy as well. Taking out an AK, swapping it over with a DMR that is in your backpack shouldn't be a 3 second job.

Nice...i didn't realise it was actually in, i stupidly thought it was a suggestion for some reason. ;)

Why DayZ will fail as a standalone game
DemonGroover replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
What is all this about Rocket taking a holiday (if you can call it such)? I don't know about you but if i have booked a holiday months in advance and someone at my company tells me i shouldn't or can't go anymore then they are going to get a two word answer. Anyone care to play hangman? .................. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ -
Just as long as the prison isn't like the Lingor one i will be very happy. To say i was gravely disappointed when i eventually made my way up there is an understatement.
-
This would be an interesting mechanic as it could make long distance snipers slightly less effective. Add the wind factor in and snipers might just have to move in a little closer for their kills.

New Player, Desperately Need Help
DemonGroover replied to Swisskaos's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Just explore and slowly but surely you will get there. My first few spawns in DayZ had me screaming and running blindly at night not knowing what the hell to do. Fast forward 1 year later and i now scream and run blindly through Cherno not knowing what the hell to do. -
DayZ, The longer you survive. The dirtier you get
DemonGroover replied to exomonkeyman's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Beard trophies. Newbies are clean shaven while a 60 day old survivor will have a long scraggly beard that can be crafted into a scarf.
