macwireworld 2 Posted July 8, 2013 I've often wondered if someone could mod the dog that was in the game to roam around randomly in small packs and attack players from time to time.Maybe.......... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infy (DayZ) 8 Posted July 10, 2013 Feels like the barracks and military loot in general is still a little too good, but maybe i am just too used to shit loot all over the place. Anyone else feels the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dayzo 182 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Feels like the barracks and military loot in general is still a little too goodI'm having a hard time gearing up.I'm not sure when the stats started, but it says I've been in game for 19 hours; I thought it was more like eight hours.Anyway, I've hardly seen any scoped weapons in that time, either at the barracks or Stary tents.The last six hours I've just been raiding just those two places, and all I've got to show for it is a Czech pack, DMR and an MP5A5 machine gun.My primary weapon is still the AK-74 that I found shortly after spawning.I saw an SA-58 CCO at the barracks, but it didn't have ammo, and I didn't have a large backpack at that point so I had to leave it.There was also a SAW there once, but the zombies made me evacuate before I could take it.Apart from that, these places are 80% empty and have crap weapons that are not worth taking.However, there are mechanics in place that may be making loot rarer for me than other players.1) I haven't seen the code, but from experience it seems that if you're a lone player, you spawn less loot than if in a group.If a building has 9 loot spots, each with a 30% chance of spawning loot, then the first player 'rolls the dice', and maybe spawns loot in three spots. If you're alone, that's it - you have to wait fifteen minutes at a distance for another 'role of the dice'. However, the second player in a group 'rolls his dice' for the remaining spots, and could spawn loot on another two or three spots. A third player also gets to 'roll the dice' again, and can spawn loot on some of the remaining spots. So a group of three approaching that same building will likely fill most of the spots, compared to a lone player who fills just two or three.2) I have seen the code for this - v1.7.7 has frame rate optimisation in it that penalises players with low frame rates.Players who have 14-20 FPS will spawn 50% less loot and less zombies than player with 60 FPS, in order to try to give them a handful of extra frames. This is misguided in my opinion. I'd much rather have full loot and zombies than five extra frames (which I don't even seem to get anyway). It means that I have to visit far more loot spots than someone with higher frame rate, which means much more wasted time travelling and waiting, and increased risk of being sniped while looting.If both the above are true, then that might account for our differing experiences. I'm enjoying it the server though. The zombies are really tough without being too annoying, and you have to shoot some of them while looting. That's new for me - I've never bothered shooting zombies before, and now I'm forced to.I don't mind if the loot is made slightly worse - it would still be better than vanilla v1.7.7.x.Anyway, there's 24 tents on the server now, so maybe I'll have better luck just stealing all your gear!

macwireworld 2 Posted July 25, 2013 Mac, do stashes count towards the tent count stat?Hey Jake, they don't at the moment but I'll update the stats at some point so they do. Just so everyone knows, I'm having a bit of a summer break with my beautiful wife at the moment now my chemo has finished. Far too nice here in the UK to be in Cheneraus. I'll be back when the weather breaks and I suggest every one does the same... :D :D :D I am keeping an eye on the server and white list applications too.

macwireworld 2 Posted July 30, 2013 Hey Wireworld Gamers, I've just built a Zoombies DayZ for Arma 3 Server and it's brilliant fun. Details on our TS3 Server if anyone want's to try it out. The RealDayZ server is still up too. Common Arma3 Zoombies problems:Q: I started loading and then I get "Arma 3 has stopped working," and my game crashes every time I try to join a Server!A: Solution: Launch the game via the Zoombies Launcher, go in the Editor and start Chernarus. Create a unit by double clicking anywhere on the 2D map that loads. Change the faction to PMC and the Unit to Guardian. The hit preview. Stay in the world for about a minute then leave and join our server.Q: I can't find the Wireworld Arma3 DayZ Server in the in-game browser!A: It's bugged! Just the Server Browser built into the Zoombies Launcher Enjoy! Kind regards Mr Mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ast5e@yahoo.co.uk 4 Posted July 31, 2013 Dayz on Arma3 looks like High Definition compared to Arma2! Inventory system also looks so much better. Will take a bit of time to adjust to the looks and controls, but it is the next step. Standalone? I'm not too fussed at the moment. RealDayz still the best Arma2 Dayz server. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dayzo 182 Posted September 18, 2013 Fuck... my heart just jumped into my throat when I caught a glimpse of the new thread title: 'RIP....'.I'm very relieved that it was just the server! I played some v1.8 today, and quite liked it.Maybe instead of running a server, we should play on someone else's for a while though?Having said that, my workload isn't really allowing me much game-time at the moment.I'll catch you on Teamspeak sometime.
