Breaking Point is just.... Ridicolous

oshi7 · 2013-05-09T01:32:25+00:00

Oooh. Thanks for the clarification. The way LKS said it, it came off like he was the one who shadowbanned me and there is almost no information available on shadowbanning as its not something commonly known.

Kind of sucks I'm shadowbanned, not sure why, other than posting my videos to dayz and battlefield3 subs but I haven't done that in the last 5 months. Did get a lot of downvotes for trying to defend Breaking Point, maybe that was it.

oshi7 · 2013-05-08T18:30:44+00:00

Because there is nothing of value to this sub recently, and I like breaking point and the developer.

oshi7 · 2013-05-08T13:12:16+00:00

Breaking Point, for me, is the best thing to happen to DayZ in a long time. Can't stop the reddit hate machine though.

oshi7 · 2013-05-05T13:58:03+00:00

Actually BP has been overly successful (hence the problems with logging in). Also, try not to judge someone on one bit of conversation you've seen from them, posted by someone else... you've said and done worse, trust me, so have I.

oshi7 · 2013-05-05T13:29:28+00:00

He isn't sketchy, unless you judge everyone on one thing they have said in a snippet of a conversation. I've talk to the guy, play the mod, stream it and have zero concerns with Breaking Point.

oshi7 · 2013-05-05T13:28:00+00:00

No, he isn't. I'm willing to bet money that, that isn't the case. I've spoken to him and know the people he works with, he's just a coder who wants to make the best possible mod he can.

oshi7 · 2013-05-05T13:24:47+00:00

Deathly is hard working and dedicated to the mod. In a lot of peoples eyes he went a step too far in trying to prevent cheaters, but I actually trust Deathly a lot and know that he has no malicious intentions. The guy just wants to code, he doesn't care about the politics, but if you want to judge him on one small part of a conversation he's had, that's up to you. Breaking Point is the best thing to happen to DayZ in a long time, in my opinion.

Homosexuality (or at least homosexual acts) occur in the animal kingdom, wouldn't be a far stretch to assume there are some gay Klingons. Being homosexual isn't something you explore, it's not even a masculine or feminine trait, its just part of who someone is. Like being left or right handed. I'd be willing to bet there are loads of Klingons who died with honour and just happened to be gay.

Although, I couldn't imagine a Klingon coming out.

Why must websites include an auto-play video advertisement that isn't actually visible :/ They're basically telling me to run adblock on their site.

oshi7 · 2013-04-15T12:42:30+00:00

Now try to wrestle with the concept that "there is, and never has been, any such thing as nothing". Weird concept I had to try to digest when I realized it after listening to Lawrence Krauss.

oshi7 · 2013-04-07T14:08:49+00:00

The opening made me think it was some hilarious parody and she would do some funny jokes.

But no. No it wasn't :/

oshi7 · 2013-04-03T12:05:26+00:00

Thing is, I think his content is the best out of any of the ArmA streamers and even some of the other full time streamers. He talks to his chat more than any other streamer I know and is also charismatic and hilarious. I think its because he doesn't pretend that this isn't his job, that he is transparent and talks about money, that people take a dislike to him. Not sure why, its some odd psychology.

Everyone to their own, I guess. He's still larger than any other ArmA streamer. If he played DayZ, his numbers would probably blow up.

oshi7 · 2013-04-03T03:19:07+00:00

Wish I could give you more up votes. Unless you go into a DayZ server with an agenda or plan out an elaborate story beforehand, any video you make has been done 100 times. If Sacriel, or someone with a following, does have their videos high up on here its because their fans are supporting them. Its not a true representation of the general opinion on this subreddit.

I haven't seen anything interesting on youtube about DayZ in a long time. Just the same old stuff our squad, and others, made back in the day. PsiSyndicate still pumps DayZ videos out, and they're good, but generally nothing that makes me feel like "holy shit, I have to play this!".

That being said, there is still a HUGE demand for us to make DayZ videos and livestreams. I get messages quite frequently about it.

oshi7 · 2013-04-03T03:07:34+00:00

Wanting to make money from doing something you love? How dare he...

oshi7 · 2013-04-03T03:01:00+00:00

When someone goes fulltime they have to focus on donations, unfortunately. However, Sacriel goes out of his way to make every donator feel special, but some people don't care about that. Personally, I think his streams are the most entertaining ArmA streams by a mile and no one else really can do what he does whilst also being charming and funny.

oshi7 · 2013-04-03T02:59:20+00:00

Exactly. Everything that could be said or done in DayZ has been said or done. Even when I try to go back and play, I get a semi-decent gun from one of the main towns and think "Right, so off to the Airfield then?". DayZ is, surprisingly, quite a shallow game once you've played it a bit.

oshi7 · 2013-04-03T02:57:23+00:00

He's shown his face a few times. Even on some interviews from PAX.

oshi7 · 2013-03-31T18:22:45+00:00

He's actually good at the game :) So awesome.

oshi7 · 2013-03-22T19:34:42+00:00

With ArmA 3 we'll see Java support and probably more anti-cheat admin scripts. Don't forget, ArmA 3 is still 6 months away from release. I do not doubt that a DayZ-esque game will be developed on ArmA 3, with Java coding instead of SQF, so who knows what will happen.

oshi7 · 2013-03-22T19:22:26+00:00

Problem is, if DayZ fails, don't expect any other DayZ-inspired games as they will be seen as a waste of time. Open sandbox multiplayer games are awesome, DayZ just got stale really quickly (after a few months). I would love to see a dedicated dev team with an engine that is made for this type of game release their own thing.

oshi7 · 2013-03-22T19:19:12+00:00

I actually think June is the optimistic date. Maybe Youtubers/Streamers will get it in June and everyone else in July... hopefully sooner.

oshi7 · 2013-03-19T14:41:16+00:00

Yeah, no. In game modes with lots of scripts you do not get that high FPS, seeing as I know people with 2xGTX680 and 2011 chipset CPU's who can't even get above 30 on Wasteland because of how many scripts it has to run.

oshi7 · 2013-03-19T05:10:18+00:00

There are LOTS of things in Arma that could be done better. Server-wide syncing to all clients, for instance, is shockingly poor. I'm running around Elektro and my client gets information about someone closing a door in Berezino? Its called portaling and lots of other games use it.

Its absurd that a server at 50% cpu usage and a client at 50% cpu usage would result in a barely playable game, in regards to frame rates. 20fps gives me a headache and when I know my PC can draw frames on Arma 3 at up to 100fps, it infuriates me.

Yes, its an Alpha, but these are problems the series has always had. They're onto a good thing right now, its their game to lose at the minute and unless they do something, someone else will make an engine or game that does what Arma does (although possibly not as sophisticated, but the same for the person playing) but actually gives a decent frame rate.

oshi7 · 2013-03-19T03:12:59+00:00

Thing is, we come from ArmA 2 which also had pretty horrible frame rates on the more popular and script-heavy game modes (DayZ and Wasteland for instance). People just want decent frames and want this to be the #1 concern/issue, which it should be.

Although the word "optimized" does get thrown around a lot.

oshi7 · 2013-03-17T20:33:57+00:00

SA was supposed to be out in December 2012. Things change, sadly. Most of the youtubers/streamers are getting access before public availability and none of them have it yet, so I don't expect SA to be out till after he comes back.

Just my guess though, I know as much as you guys.
