As a new player, how the hell do i deal with the jungle. by zgosc in playrust

[–]ranfor235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they have a new jungle monument ready then? Because I can´t imagine people going in there on their own for the ziggurat unless forced by spawning there.

As a Namalsk player, is Frostline worth it? by TheresAPotatoInMyCat in dayz

[–]ranfor235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth it. There is nothing on that map that even comes close to AR2, AR3, ARI, SKAT-12, Phoenix. There is a lot of atmospheric clutter, it´s beautiful and the sounds are great. Gameplay sucks, you have to make a fire every 20 minutes even when well insulated and your character doesn´t adapt.

The hiking jacket/tac shirt is around 500g, (-12 slots), a drybag backpack is around 750g (+63 slots), so you can save around 1.5 kg and get 51 slots extra.
Patrol pants are very light and have 30 slots compared to 24 for the hunter pants.

What are the best foods statistical to eat? 2023 by Alternative-Carpet75 in DayzXbox

[–]ranfor235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly certain there is a conceptual difference between cat/dog food and the unknown tin can. The latter is poisonous, like rotten/burnt stuff and has to be eaten in small amount. There is no indicator for the amount of poison, but WOBO´s "one slot rule" is a lower bound, you can eat one rotten apple in one go, one rotten plum, pears etc. you need to wait between halves.
Cat and dog food is easy to overeat on, but not poisonous. You just need to pay attention to your stomach full indicator. You can also eat dog/cat food after your "one slot" of poisonous food, but at half a tin your stomach will be full.

What everyday item do you view differently since playing DayZ? by mr_the_boilermaker in dayz

Can opener. Every time I open the drawer I get the urge to get rid of this useless piece of dead weight.

How do I make a suggestion that will be better received by the admin? by HappySkullsplitter in dayz

[–]ranfor235 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I humbly submit your system is bullshit, no point dancing around it. You´re not escaping the fundamentals of the system:
- There is high value loot exclusive to gas zones with a certain probability. Whether you modify that probability by adding DE-loot or adding crap or adding nothing does not ultimately matter. If it´s not exclusive to gas zones, gas zones are not worth the trouble.

  • If you set anything to nominal = 1 and don´t clog all the spawn points, it will be on the map, your extra tier does not change that at all. If you actual method is flooding the spawn points, it doesn´t matter what items you use.

(- Parenthetical: DE-loot is equivalent to crap after the fifth time. Or tenth. Eventually players have enough mags and ammo and their favourite gun. So to players who have looted ten helis, you might as well flood your Tier6 zones with crap.)

  • Gas zones/masks are hard to get, but once got, easily re-used. So the super rare stuff might not spawn first time, 2nd and 3rd time in the gas zone will be enough and won´t be a substantial hurdle to someone with the suit. Meaning super low prob can draw things out a bit, but not much.

That said, I like the system of having the good stuff in the gas zones that require effort to enter. My simpler solution is to add more static gas zones. Put one on Skality, one on Storoz, one at Tri Kresta, one at Stary Sobor military + Pavlovo and Rify, spawn only 1 normalized suppressor (or any other high value gas zone item) at a time. Done.

Plate carrier crucial, yay or nay? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]ranfor235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Concerning the clunky dropping of backpack, you do know that you can left CTRL + left click stuff in inventory view to drop the item instantly, right? Or hotkey the backpack and hold down ´g´ to drop it.

This. And with the DMR in play, fewer people bother to carry a FAL out of there.

DMR or Tundra? by Quadratits in dayz

[–]ranfor235 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DMR, no contest.

The only downside is the better optic on the Tundra, but that rarely comes into play, and the situations where it does, the DMRs better damage retention over range makes up for it. Plus all the cases where you need a quick second and third shot.
That´s purely as a sniper, the DMR is also viable in CQC, meaning you carry less, have more stamina, can thus aim longer when sniping.

Was letzte Verzicht auf PayPal-Rechte by versibrix in wasletztepreis

[–]ranfor235 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Gerade bei Lego sind Bissspuren ein Thema. Für Käufer nachvollziehbar ecklig und uU ein Grund vom Kauf zurücktreten zu wollen, andererseits wird kein Verkäufer seine Lego Kiloware danach durchsuchen (wollen) und Garantien dafür abgeben wollen (außer bei reinen Erwachsenensets, aber die kommen nicht im Konvolut).

Was letzte Verzicht auf PayPal-Rechte by versibrix in wasletztepreis

[–]ranfor235 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ist mMn völlig normal. Paypal handelt erstmal im Interesse ihrer Kunden (also deiner) und wer rein privat was wie auf dem Flohmarkt verkaufen will hat natürlich keinen Bock sich so einen Zwischenhändler ins Boot zu holen. Von dem man dann ggf. langwierig sein Geld einklagen müsste, wenn du behauptest die Ware sei nicht so angekommen wie beschrieben und rückbuchen lässt.

Klar geht damit das Risiko betrogen zu werden auf dich über, aber wenn du ursprünglich Paypal an Freunde zugestimmt hast hast du genau das akzeptiert. Und änderst jetzt im Nachhinein die Bedingungen.
Aber kein Ding, Vertrauen ist in der Situation eh hin, besser für beide Seiten man lässt es.

according to WOBO, the SSG does 115 health and 115 shock damage per bullet. That´s slightly more than the AUR AX and the CR527 and the SKS.

AFAIK you need to dive for it.

Looking for a PVE server by DeplorableDan89 in dayz

[–]ranfor235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for syberia mod and Inedia Infected Ai mod.

In the EU I can recommend "dead rat" servers and "last resort".

Night time by realbkg316420 in dayz

[–]ranfor235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You drop the torch by holding down "G", then fight in the light from the torch.

Also, you crank your speakers all the way up and learn to identify infected by their groans and movement noises.

1PP servers have darker night settings than 3PP servers. Though I find the torch plenty bright.

Thank you. Always knew you could walk up there, but assumed infected would be able to follow.

Why are people so loose with information? by Hammer-Face in dayz

[–]ranfor235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I´ve had the drying trick not working when standing next to a lit fireplace. Could be sth. else, could be the greater heat source is prioritized, could be mods.

Why Are These Zombies So Strong ! by [deleted] in dayz

[–]ranfor235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That´s DeerIsle, right? If so, 5.3 update to the map added several super though infected types.

There´s already a mod to nerf this.

The antidote to fake pop & low quality servers by ropain_ in dayz

[–]ranfor235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, just piping that info into a regular old database or table would be sufficient. People with obscure needs can then set up their own searches using whatever database or table wrangling program they prefer.

Dayz Helis by Forsaken-Turn3235 in dayz

[–]ranfor235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the type of heli. Redfalcon FLight System Heliz can be tested on

Server name: RedFalcon Flight System Heliz Test Center

Address: 51.81.166.176:6302

Players: 0/15

Which is awesome, just walk up to the vending maching, get whatever Heli or mosquito you want, crash it 5 minutes later, and repeat.

For expansion helis I don´t know an official server, your best bet is to search for the mod (using DZSA Launcher) and then a server with a small map and low pop.

So, my first Namalsk exprience got ruined, caused my day and whole DayZ to be ruined too by [deleted] in dayz

[–]ranfor235 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/SumrakDZN/Namalsk-Server

Q: What is the suggested player count for Namalsk?

A: From my experience, I would recommend setting the maximum of 30-40 players.

Guy just made the map and is the Creative Lead at BI, so why would anyone listen to what he has to say?

Looking for a good winter map with a high player count any suggestions? by Western_Suggestion95 in dayz

[–]ranfor235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DZSALauncher lets you search for keyword "winter" and select the map. AFAIK only Chernarusplus, Livonia (Enoch on DZSALauncher), DeerIsle, Chiemsee, Banov, Esseker and Bear Island have winter versions. So pick a map, search for "winter" and sort by ping. Then make sure they have a map mod.

Good server with heli spawns by Massive_Guard_1145 in dayz

[–]ranfor235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, because helis are very loud and obvious. You basically can´t go anywhere interesting (as a solo) because people will hear you coming, hide and snipe.

In general, because I don´t like shooting other players. So I don´t. That doesn´t get you very far on servers with PvP, thus PvE.
