[ARMA2] DAYZ Thread - pr0lurker is a moron

[W0lf Crendraven]

To make death even worse, especially for new chars, if you spawn and you have nothing, you dont really care if your killed, now if you know that you wont be able to play for the next 24 hours if that lone zombie sees you... .

[Amanto]

Why would you make a game which combines instant invisible death with a 24 hour respawn timer.

c

this is by far the most retarded idea i have ever seen in my entire life

[Space Panda]

while on one hand, i really like the idea of the respawn timer. but that being said, i would love it up until the point that i died.

concerning the safe idea though, isn't rocket already doing something like this? i remember him talking about underground "instances" that players will be able to use, likely for storage. or maybe i hallucinated that.

i like the notion that people can find them and attempt to move or open them, though.

So im running along chilling out and checking out some smaller towns north of the coast.

I hit up the first place and check the houses for any good loot, nothing in the first place. I go outside towards the second and hear a chopper, I run up into the treeline and tuck in behind a tree using 3rd person to check out the situation, I see the chopper pass overhead and then nosedive about 300m from my position, I heard further up the hill and hear a second chopper, right next to the now exploded one on the ground, fuckig hackers. I see a guy get spat out and thrown about 100m, I zero my AKM to 200m and take a few pot shots at him, sadly the AKM is REALLY LOUD, so all the zeds in town come charging at me.

Second chopper explodes as the dumbass hacker spawned it in the middle of a forest and cant fly for shit. I lead my zed train on a merry run further up the hill, losing a few to trees on the way, I rather stupidly don't bother changing weapons to something quieter and blap away with the AKM, again attracting most of the zeds I just lost

So, the hackers are still be dumbasses and blowing choppers up, one finally reailses that spawning one in the open works best, he does that and flies off, not before leaving a weird crate and an offroad truck.

I see a second chopper fly around with the first (5th) and they leave to the north, I take the opportunity to try and steal the truck but rather stupidly try to loot the hacker who died underneath it rather than getting in a driving away, a zed agresses and I put him down with an AKM round, big mistake, the horde comes at me again, first hit and im knocked out at 8k blood, they feast on me and I die about 20s later

So Dayz Standalone using the core RV engine is happening with full support from BiS (dev team). This was talked about by rocket and some other BiS staff a while back along with a bunch of other stuff they would like to be able to do.

I reckon the management sat down looked at the surplus cash from Dayz related sales and thought we can fund some real development with this and see where it goes, thats the thing most people forget that businesses are after money not only for their own pockets but to be able to afford to do stuff in the future. Normally this requires investment with the pay out being the result of the work hence looking like money grabbing, but in some cases there is money in the bank to fund R&D that is what it seems to be to me here, yes there is a commercial pay out possible at the end but that is not what i see as the driving factor.

Other stuff that was discussed was bespoke map(s) and moving between servers with different maps being used to create a much larger more populated game world (zoning). Was there any thing else any one remembers as having been talked about that may be on this changed horizon.

So realistic, DayZ has male privilege.

Thermal is straight broken. Log in on a tower in electro I had been sniping from before. Thanks to a nice person with a wonderful tent I have enough as50 ammo to shoot boars with it. Do a thermal sweep and see some dead bodies and zeds. See a sniper overwatching the fire station. Mark his posititon and then sweep the rest. I see some one running into electro from the north/east side, I'm on the west. I decided to take out the sniper before the other guy gets into town and hears me shoot. No range finder so my zero is a bit off but I kill the other sniper in 3 shots. Second one should have taken him but :hitdetection:. Turn to find the other guy and cant see him. Keep sweeping for five minutes and i finally see him go to loot a corpse, no idea who killed that dude. One shot later he's dead. Sweep for another 10 minutes and no one. Head north check the first sniper. Noob with a hunting rifle, I look into the fire station and see he actually killed some one with it. Head towards starry and i'm setting up postion now.

US594 have a downed chopper near starry i'm watching if any one wants to play

So, why the fuck does the crowbar exist?

It does about 1/3 the damage of the hatchet and can only be used in the primary weapon slot, it has no other uses (hatchet for woodpile) and swings at the same speed as the hatchet.

I spawned very SW and flank the town trying to get to some of the outside builings, I get into a hut but a zed spots me, he brings along a few buddies and I manage to put down about 5 of them from the doorway. I get into another house and probably should have just used it to bail but stood my ground instead. Bleurgh, horrible hitboxes and crappy crowbar damage killed me

Respawn by otmel (nonshocker) I head up into the hills and search a few deerstands and find bugger all.
I head by a few towns and barns and find the basics, hatchet, watch, some drink, waterbottles, no food
One barn had 6 hatchets in
I find a CZ550 and had some ammo picked up before, a makarov and some mags and czech backpack, :notbad:

Chopper spawn, I crawl all the way to it, AS50 and ammo, fuck yea, ditch the CZ and crawl away, am now hiding out near the church in novy, I might go sniping in stary and probably die horribly.

Hill south of Stary there is a short wall you can crouch behind, makes for epic snipe spot - around 500m from the red barn, 600-650 from the tents, though these are hard to see, then like 800m up the hill.

EVERYONE in Stary uses the south hill, so just sit there and shoot their heads off as they come.

Best shot was ever so slightly east of that up towards the eastern of the two Deer stands north of Stary Sobor - was 1000m shot. Loved it.

[XenosisReaper]

Stary north hill best hill, theres a clipping bug that allows you to stand literally inside a tree trunk
