***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

stulid said:
The thread is 100 pages long so no I haven't read it, but the number of RTM's about Arma3 being brought up all the time and saying how much better it is than Dayz SA is many so I thought it would be wise to mention if we can keep the thread on topic, but now I see I cant even do that without complaints.

I wouldn't worry about it personally... I think it's probably worth bringing up how DayZ SA compares to other similar titles every now and then but such is the way with threads of this type it can start to grind a bit as it doesn't really add anything particularly constructive... I'd put it down to the fact that a lot of people don't read much of the thread or even sometimes it feels like the last couple of posts before their own and so the same issues get dragged up again and again sometimes (with each time the people that agree wanting to re-affirm it each time someone new chimes in)...

Besides which there are far more (on topic) things to complain about and find wrong with the game that don't involve bringing up other games ;)
 
When that fix comes out for PBO files rufus then would be the time. All other bugs can be excused as it is Alpha, but the PBO one was shocking (two year old bug). Fingers crossed it is soon

No but the constant comments of bf3 been insignificant compared to the Holy grail for you which was Cod4 got brought up enough in the bf3 thread at the time.

Are we seriously barred from comparing this to the game without which there would be no such thing as DayZ :s.

I'll decide when it's worth my money, thank you very much :p Let's not get started down this road again - perhaps I'll wait and pick it up on release/beta? If that ever happens

Agreed that would cut down on some frustration, but I'd like it to be ahead of the mod in some of the areas that I found most irritating before I would be able to tolerate playing it enough to provide any useful feedback (and trust me an 800,001st person reporting all the same bugs is not useful to anyone)
 
and when did arma 3 have dayz properly introduced ? ;)

back on topic , whos on markers later guess well need a new ocuk server soon as markers letting it go.
 
We don't have a feud we talk all the time :) We just like to voice or in this case type opinions. But I already commented on that

@Hicks_206 @lisenki @Inacio_ Nice, not being rude but about time :)

:)

This is needed for first person so you can view over walls and stuff without fully standing/kneeling, I know if I wanted to peek over something I would do this:

Would be a good edition imo.

INDIERETRONEWS ‏@Indie_RetroNEWS @witcher1979 @lupinewolf @Hicks_206 Something to do with signature file check on dayz servers. If it finds a missing file = kick

INDIERETRONEWS ‏@Indie_RetroNEWS @Hicks_206 @witcher1979 Please fix as soon as possible, it's top priority currently on the ticket issue list. You can turn off buildings!

INDIERETRONEWS ‏@Indie_RetroNEWS 7 Jan @rocket2guns Please fix the issue with people deleting pbo files, as they can play without buildings, grass and trees. It's a serious issue


:rolleyes::(:o


Brian Hicks ‏@Hicks_206 3h Testing signature verification in the production environment today, looking good


Nice to know he reads my tweets

No it wont, you will see someone a little bit away, they will just run to a building hide for 30 seconds while you make your way to them carefully as dayz is not run and gun and quit. It might fix a few but just a simple timer is a waste of time on its own. Once a bullet is fired they need to be marked as in combat and can't quit for 5 mins tops.

Running away and hiding then logging out is perfectly fine ....remember its your job to keep him in combat by shooting at/near him to refresh the timer ......if you let the 30 seconds run out then they are entitled to leave the game without consequences. Not all will agree with this but that's just how it is ...if you don't keep him in combat then its your own fault ....although i do find 30 seconds a little low as i think it should be 1 minute but not higher :)

Remember its called a "combat log" hence they need to be in combat for it to be considered a combat log and going 30-60 seconds without being shot at means there not in combat so have every right to log-out if they wish...like i said not all will agree but that's just the way it is.

i think any bullets by you close and you shouldn't be able to log at all if you do you die. thats not good if you crash though :p
 
I always use 3rd person. When I first started out in the mod and for a little way through I used 1st person more though. Not entirely sure why, but now I only use first person when encountering players.

I think that was tested in the mod when a person would stay in the server for 30 seconds just sitting there but then you can dupe, as in your mates can take your gear and you can log back with your same gear. It was something along those lines so no one ever used that method. The log back in timer is a good one, Breaking Point has a seven minute timer before you can switch servers, but you can rejoin the same server without a timer. With the person staying in the game you also have the issue if connection drops or pc crashes you lose all your work etc, although that is down to the player.

This system is the only one that will truly work for combat loggers id say ....and although they tried this and it failed in the mod ....they should revisit and fully fix it this time around on there "worked on framework of the engine" to stop duping.

Bought DayZ over Xmas as there was little on sale to spark my interest...

The game makes me incredibly motion sick, moreso than any other game I've played (I'm usually fine, but this one is killing me). I turned headbobbing off, and I believe I upped the FOV, but still feel pretty dreadful while playing it :( Anyone else having similar issues?
