TROPHY CASE

I just did the most badass thing in DayZ by rockincoltonin dayz

[–]dodgepong 0 points1 point ago

He can play the game however he goddamn pleases, but I can still think he's a cunt for his choices.

Who says I can't judge someone based on their choices in this game? I do it all the time in real life. If a kid was building a sandcastle on the beach, and some douche walked up and kicked it over, everyone would judge him for that. This isn't so different.

And that's the beauty of this game. There are no rules, so it's interesting to see what people do and how they react. Some of them become extremely selfish and kill everyone. Some decide to be trusting, even if they die over and over again to people who are far less trusting. Some, like me, are somewhere in the middle. Personally, I try to never kill anyone unless they have shown signs of aggression toward me. Usually, though, if I see someone and they haven't seen me yet, I try to stay hidden and avoid confrontation. I don't like killing people indiscriminately, or just for fun, and I think that the people who do are cunts (who are playing completely within the bounds of the game).

Why are the tents so fussy? by SpaceGhostDerrpin dayz

Are you asking if tents can be placed in forests? Because they can't...

If by "awesome" you mean "completely dickish and shameful" then yes.

New DayZ Server. Atlanta 5 Hardcore! by coreyandtrevorlaheyin dayz

[–]dodgepong 1 point2 points ago

Yay, +1 for hardcore servers. Is it running the latest beta patch with direct comm fixes, by any chance?

How do I record DayZ video/audio and teamspeak audio at the same time? by Squill2k4in dayz

[–]dodgepong 1 point2 points ago

If you just record your stereo mix out, then it should capture both.

The trick is capturing both the stereo mix and you mic...some programs like DxTory, Fraps, and Playclaw all support this.

so is Direct Communication working now? by awwvacadoin dayz

[–]dodgepong 1 point2 points ago

It was broken a short while ago. If you watch older DayZ videos lik CHKilroy's you seem them using 100% direct communication just fine.

We need "Softcore" servers. by Rayneworksin dayz

[–]dodgepong 1 point2 points ago

Sounds boring, honestly. The intrigue from this game comes from player interactions. Removing that completely misses the point of the mod.

What's your opinion on using external maps? by machelloin dayz

[–]dodgepong 2 points3 points ago

My short answer is that for me, it's cheating. It's like using a strategy guide, telling you where all the best loot spawns are, and takes out the joy of finding a map in-game, or exploring the world for yourself. I think that when people use external maps, they are missing out on an interesting aspect of the game that I can't quite describe.

I know that other people see this differently...I have several thoughts about the way people go about playing this game, but that's another topic for another time.

[–]dodgepong 5 points6 points ago

The problem has been with ArmA, not DayZ, and I think it only sometimes works.

If you install the latest ArmA 2 beta patch (build 93040), it seems to indicate direct communication is fixed. In order to utilize it, you will need to both install the beta and log on to a server that has also installed the beta. You can still log on to older servers, too (the patch is backwards compatible).

ArmA II: CO $15 (Half Off) at Amazon. Needed to play DayZ. by doxshundvegasin dayz

Oh look, someone is posting a link to this again. I guess we haven't had someone post it yet today, have we?

Nearing 90.000 players! by LeYunoin dayz

Because in many countries they swap commas and periods in numbers.

We have been looking into the FPS/LAG issues and we have found a major problem, we are working on the solution thanks for reporting it guys by Niamorin dayz

[–]dodgepong 4 points5 points ago

The 1.5.8 issue.

But I hear running the latest ArmA 2 beta patch on a beta-patched server may result in increased framerate.

Arma II Beta 93040 Released by TALIHAMin dayz

[–]dodgepong 14 points15 points ago

They have already stated that they will be releasing patches to ArmA 2 specifically to help out Day Z.

Can somebody please explain me how to install the beta patch for the steam version of the game? by Cutzeroin dayz

[–]dodgepong 3 points4 points ago

That is how to install DayZ. He is asking how to install the latest ArmA 2 Beta patch.

[STORY]No matter how good of a plan, everything can go to hell in the blink of an eye. by Subhazardin dayz

Were you guys on last night? I couldn't find the mumble and you never responded on Skype... :/

Where do you hardcore players get your fix? by comes_palatinusin dayz

[–]dodgepong 0 points1 point ago

I really would love to play hardcore. I hate third-person, nametags, and crosshairs. I also hate global chat, the gamma/brightness exploit, internet maps, logging out to avoid death, and using third-party voice programs for group coordination instead of direct comms. The videos that convinced me to buy ArmA 2 for DayZ were CHKilroy's "The Days Ahead" series, and I really liked the way he played and how the game worked using only direct comms, becoming immersed in the game as much as possible. Unfortunately, it seems to be hard to find a group who wants to play like that. :(

From what I have encountered I have come up with the idea that saying or typing, "friendly" is now meaningless. by dlroW_olleHin dayz

[–]dodgepong 9 points10 points ago

Whenever someone asks "Friendly?" in global with no location or context, I usually just reply "No" and wait to see if someone dies.

Just want to say, Rocket, you've fulfilled my dream. by spleendorin dayz

NOPE.

I'm a lying bitch... by Ortekkin dayz

[–]dodgepong 1 point2 points ago

Ah, the way you said it made it sounds like they attacked you so you logged out...nvm.

I later log out in the woods after running into some zeds at the Deerstand.

You're also a cheating bitch.

Me when my friends say "We should go to the Airfield." by dr_goodshaftin dayz

Please no meme-y things. D:

"You were kicked off the game" by snowsoftJ4Cin dayz

[–]dodgepong 0 points1 point ago

Remember that you sunk money into a game (well, a mod for a game) that is still in alpha. There are lots of bugs; such is the nature of alphas. If you want to wait for bugs to be fixed, you should play something else.

Also, remember that you bought Arma 2, not DayZ. Arma 2 is a fully-released game with lots of content and a dedicated community...so it's definitely not a waste.

It's true, I have witnessed it with my own eyes.
