    Night Vision, Should it be removed?

    How about the ability to build/construct night vision? Is that even possible to implement? Have to acquire the different pieces and make them. Like the vehicles. I really liked the Fallen Earth crafting. I enjoy the vehicle crafting in DayZ as well. Would love to see more of it.

    The PvP Discussion Thread

    What mod are you playing? Certainly not the same one that I am. Supplies are everywhere. No matter which server I have played on I can find a backpack filled to the brim in under 30 minutes from first spawn. Yes we get it. You grief and gank people all day. That is fun for you. Nothing wrong with that. Please stop trying to convince me that I should play a different game because you are not happy with the new changes that have been put into the game. Bandits are in game now. If you do not like it maybe you could go back to call of doody. Perhaps that it a little bit more your speed?

    The PvP Discussion Thread

    Look it boils down to this. You got to have something here. Either the bandit skin, or a quarantine zone, SOMETHING! It is not fun to have absolutely no chance at all. It is not fun to not be able to trust anyone in game because there is absolutely no system of checks and balances against ....PvPers as you so kindly refer to campers who snipe people from cover for no reason other than the lulz. I don't want to be your content. I don't want to be a bot in your sniper simulator.

    Stat Upgrade Items

    I found these Magical Epic drop purple goggles that add +100 to night seeing ability. I found this Blue drop weapon that added +50 to DPS (damage per second) that is good for kiting mobs around. Found this rare bag that holds extra loot drops. It is kind of awesome. Willing to trade Purple goggles of night seeing for Non flying mount. PST for trade or best offer.

    Ability to holster/lower pistol

    I think main weapons take up ten backpack slots and secondary firearms take up seven?

    Real Food cycle from Real Daytime Cycle

    I am not a huge fan of the real time cycle yet the nutty professor style binge eating stays in. I saw the last thread discussing the real time cycle get closed because they just do not want it discussed. To them it is a huge part of the game play. Others have stated that the lag put on the server by the sun rising/setting is too much for it to handle but then how would it ever occur at all? What about cutting it in half? 2 days per every real day? 6 hours light/6 hours dark. I personally would love to see much shorter like 3on/3off but that is just me.

    The PvP Discussion Thread

    You are all being intentionally dishonest. There exists a HUGE difference between competitive PvP and gankers and griefers killing people by sniping them in the back for no reason other than for LULZ on a server where a large portion of the playerbase would not shoot first and do not even play that way. What we do NOT have is a gigantic world like EvE online. We have sharded servers. The best solution would be to have PvP servers and non-pvp carebear servers (that is if anyone is willing to even host a non pvp server). The griefers and gankers are taking advantage of a large trusting playerbase. Unless you want every player to simply shoot the first person they see on sight to not take the risk they will be shot then you need to act. The Bandit system is a great idea but punishes the innocents who kill in self defense. Maybe make the number of kills required to earn the bandit skin higher. Like kill three people to earn the bandit skin and no magical refilling humanity, you have to earn it by blood transfusions and bandages. That way people who kill in self defense can go into large towns hospitals and do work to redeem their name before they turn bandit. The bandit skin puts us on a more even playing field. It separates the innocents from the murderers. Do what you guys feel is best but PLEASE do not think that I am stupid enough to mistake ganking and griefing for competitive PvP in any way shape or form.

    Dat big world has no cars...OH DERP

    STOP GIVING AWAY MY SECRET CAR SPAWNING SPOT! Every time I have ever seen it there I have worked so hard to get it up and running but have never succeeded. Keeping a tent nearby with tons of car parts in it (but the tent usually despawns) running miles trying to get the wheels/engine/fuel tank.

    Ability to holster/lower pistol

    I have seen this implemented on the life servers without even needing to download a mod for it to happen. Not sure how it works but you can holster/unholster pistols on the non mod requirement life servers.
  11. Everybody wants to come to the party but no one wants to stay and help clean up afterwards. You do realize that you are play testing an ALPHA and helping root out bugs and fix them right? Offering suggestions, finding bugs and trying to find ways to improve them? I think if more people realized that instead of trying to play the game like a polished finished release things would go FAR smoother.

    NVGs?

    PVS-7's take simple double A batteries. I am sure if there are M-249's laying around firehouses and flashlights and packs of chemlights a few packs of double A batteries would be easy peasy to find as well. A good idea might be to take away the endless airfield camping that occurs. Make people do more looting, pillaging and searching for good gear instead of just simply airfield camping all day. Make it more random to find good gear instead of just camping one spot repetitively over and over and over again.

    ACRE Support

    I thought we were supposed to be farmers and truck drivers and cashiers who survived the zombie apocalypse. What the hell would we be doing running around with military grade radio equipment, let alone knowing how to use it? I think we would be hard pressed to find walkie talkies and have other people on the other end.

    Zombie Behaviour

    I myself have outran hordes before. Zig zagging around obstacles only slows them down because eventually they catch back up. The trick is to run up hills at an angle. The zombies will try and go straight up but you can zig zag run up steep hills while they walk.

    DayZ Update 1.4.11

    +500 morality every 15 minutes is caving into the grievers....errr sorry PvPers. Might as well just have health automatically respawn over time. +500 health every minute. What was wrong with only giving morality increases for good deeds? Blood transfusions, bandages etc. ? If you are a good player you will seek to do good deeds to clear your good name. Not just camp in the woods. There is no point in even having a bandit skin. Run into the woods doing a little hunting of animals, come back and grief some more....err....PvP some more.

    In-Game Group System

    I have seen the life servers have this where no mod is even required have this feature. It is a gang joining feature and you can use the green group chat channel after you join a gang. Gangs can be locked by the gang creator. And unlocked to allow people to join.

    Mountain Dew?

    They said to horde gold and silver. They said to horde ammunition. They were wrong. DO THE DEW MOTHER FUCKER! I am a huge Mountain Dew fan IRL so I would shit kittens if I ever found a can in game.
  19. The problem is that supplies are so abundant that there is no reason to kill each other except for bigger and better guns or for the fun of it. I found enough ammunition and food/water to last for 2 weeks in game time from about two towns. Clear through one apartment block and you will have enough to fill three bags to the brim. Plus you find bags everywhere. Not to mention the ease of finding game. At no point do I ever feel desperate enough to have to rob from someone to survive. I have to eat every hour or so anyway in game. I eat more food than the nutty professor. CAKES AND PIES CAKES AND PIES! I know this would probably be frowned against but maybe make items a lot more rare so that people are more desperate. I found a map/compass/knife/matches/plethora of ammunition all in one supermarket. Then 20 minutes later it all re spawned new guns/gear/ammo. Along with ten cans of food and a case of soda. Supplies are NOT scarce. The only thing that is scarce are the good PvP weapons that you have to camp for hours straight at the airfields to get your hands on. Silenced M4's, Thermal scoped sniper rifles, NVG's. You got a revolver but only a few rounds...that other guy has a glock but no mags. Try and trade with them...or steal from their bag when they aren't looking, or kill them dead and take what they have. As it stands now loot is freaking everywhere. It's like a canned food factory/ammunition storehouse in some places. Even the lazies bandit will have bags so full of gear they have no reason to live the bandit life. Desperation is what makes survival horror more exciting. Food is running short. But I found some shotgun ammo but I have no shotgun. Hey there is a guy up there with a shotgun. Maybe he will trade with me? Maybe I can get the jump on him. Maybe I can befriend him and hunt together. Right now the PvP is solely for the sake of PvP. Remember when Lloyd was stuck in the prison in the stand gnawing on a raw rat? Remember when Andy was starving in the Gun Store in Dawn of the Dead? 'Member this? Tomorrow-morrow Land! 'Member this? The River of Light! 'Member this? Skyraft!

    Surrender Animation/Function

    What about only logging out at your tent? Otherwise it gives you like a 60 second countdown until you get logged off. With server swapping (which is something that I have never encountered in a game before) it gives you the option of swapping servers, maneuvering behind your enemies and then reconnecting. Some type of logoff delay function would go a long ways to prevent this in the future at some point if indeed it is even possible to implement at all. The PvP seems to play a far larger part than fighting zombies for the time being and as such probably needs much more priority.

    A Personal Observation

    I would argue it takes no more than one individual to gank an entire group full of trusting individuals. Shoot them all in the back and loot away. That would be ganking. PvP would be two people fighting against each other somewhat equally matched/geared/prepared attempting to defeat each other in proper combat. Irregardless the new bandit system will ensure that gankers/pvpers will stick out like a sore thumb...at least during the day. Until the night comes and they are blasting away with Thermal Scoped .50 cal sniper rifles and NVG's with silenced weapons garnered from camping airfield respawns for endless hour upon endless hour.

    A Personal Observation

    I think you are misconstruing the term "PvP". The proper word you are probably looking for is "Ganking".

    NVGs?

    I think if you run into someone with NVG's and they want your stuff you will be dead before you know they are there.
