[ARMA2] DAYZ Thread - pr0lurker is a moron

[Izo Azlion]

Is Stary solo-able with a shitty shotgun?

Quickly an quietly get into the tents, check them, gtfo.

You'll pretty much surely find at least an Ak74 or AKM. Probably aggro a lot of zeds tho based on the aggro mechanics of the 1.7.2 patch.

Been trying to pay for two days, keep getting stuck at the loafing screen or it says: please wait for character to spawn. Tried several fixes

[The Monkeysphere]

Are you running the latest Arma2 beta patch and the latest DayZ patch?

[Eard]

Don't grab the newest arma 2 beta patch unless they've already fixed it. As mentioned on last page, it will not let you log into the majority of servers with it as it shows a newer version number of the arma 2 engine. Just grab the one before that if needed.

Slow blood recovery over time (dependent on how full/watered you are) would be a lot more realistic than get hurt-eat entire cow-right as rain.

[Dark Flare]

a lot more realistic

zombies
carrying 2 car wheels and a gun and a jerry can
able to run forever
if you go swimming all your stuff disappears

[Wrack]

red herring fallacy

also

if you go swimming you drop most of the 30 kg you're carrying so that you don't drown and you can pick it back up by wading in carefully

actually somewhat realistic

carrying 2 car wheels and a gun and a jerry can
able to run forever

Easily fixed in 1 go: ACE encumbrance (or ArmA3 encumbrance)

Dayz is made by one of the devs, ACE is not. If they used ACE they'd have to give credit and earnings to them, no?

The new zombies make starting fresh a huge pain in the ass. You might as well say fuck sneaking and sprint around town hoping to find gear in buildings. I've aggroed a zed for 20m away while lying still. It wouldn't be so bad if zed path finding didn't involved becoming a world class ninja to run in serpentine patterns.

Deer Stands are your friend.

Clanmates found someones camp last night, time for fun with C4!

I guess so, but the basic idea is what you want and the actual code isn't complex enough to be worth stealing. ArmA3 is already planning to rip it off. It's not like ACE has a patent on the idea that carrying heavy things makes you tired.

1.7.2.2 is up.


* [FIXED] Ghillie and skin removal on login ( https://dev-heaven.net/issues/36666 )
* [FIXED] Arma X stuck on loading screen ( https://dev-heaven.net/issues/36647 )
* [FIXED] AKS_74_kobra classname incorrectly named ( https://dev-heaven.net/issues/36680 )
* [NEW] Server side performance tweaks and improvments
* [FIXED] Infected detect players from too far away (reduced by about 20%)
* [FIXED] Disconnect updates not being correctly applied (caused inventory issues)
* [FIXED] Bear traps not appearing for spawn (low spawn)

> Full-faggotry nametag server
> Duped satchel charges
> Ventrilo key clicks

Well, at least it was cool when the tree fell over.

[DevilDude]

they found the C4 in that dudes tents

New Zombies respawn like an NES game now at deer stands, at least they did for me. Shoot 1, 3 more take his place.

[The Monkeysphere]

Are Dreg's server and TS up?


I wish to return.

[Tyrehl]

I was considering buying it since its discounted but the last 10 posts made me reconsider. :/

[The Monkeysphere]

Do it.

The game appears to induce bittervetness on an accelerated scale, that's just it

The more i think about it, this game reminds me of eve.
Gets boring when you get all the good shit, however unlike eve, you can just leeroy somewhere and start off fresh again. Some of the best fun I've had in this game is running around with an axe or an easily available weapon like a lee enfield/winchester.
