http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/93555-ear-necklace-skull-trophies Was PvP pandering and silly here also.

Instead of making zombies stronger, why not make them use tactics?
birdman replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
AI programming is very difficult. Pathfinding alone has made or killed videogames. I have faith that our devs will make the zeds fully capable in regards to Rocket's original idea. -
RE: Rocket announcement of new feature at PAX

Deer velvet spray. Homemade. -
There it is! EDIT: All of my fucking beans!

Do I need to comment on how "realistic" getting your hands on a militray grade helicopter is in the first place?

Distinction between bandit and murderer?
birdman replied to RooBurger's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
By that flawed logic if I return fire to save my own life the end result is the same, dead guy. There is a difference, however slight, in that the reason behind the kill defines it. -
AN/PVS-14 (Military) does have an IR flash but you have to twist and hold the toggle to keep it on, so really it is used more for signaling. Some headlamps have IR lights that simply shine IR, but these would be hard to find. Some weapons come with Surefire IR lamps but they are hard to find as well. There are some hybrid (night vision and thermal) NVGs around but I have only seen one or two pair and thus, hard to find.

If you make them as fast as you it will work well also. Think about it, they couldn't catch you constantly running from them, but if you turn to shoot you lose precious speed and they close on you. It could help having a battle buddy around to watch your back.

Did Ada Wong prone in the forest or take a knee often? No women would want to wear a sexy dress during any apocalypse. Wouldn't they want to wear what was comfortable, accessible, tactical and efficient to survive? Hence pants and a shirt.
-
Yes. Although it basically adds more trophies for bandits to hoard and gloat about. Their signatures on the forum will say, "30 diaries acquired" or something to that effect.

Suggestions for the DayZ standalone - thinking outside of the limitations of an Arma 2 mod.
birdman replied to ruarz's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
It's called an LOS (line of sight) radio like the Harris 7800 or HCLOS. Useful but requires lots of power. I hope you have a generator in your pocket. -
Also I hope you guys know that NVGs only amplify ambient light and should be useless in unpowered buildings, tunnels and thick jungle/forest canopy. They would also be less effective if it is a new moon. If they were more "realistic" then they wouldn't be as gamechanging. Yes I know everyone hates that word.

No flaming intended! I clicked one of your tags, "camo" and this immediately came up: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46508-camo-tarps-for-vehicles/. You didn't even bother to search the tag that you made. As it stands alone it is better than the vehicle tracker idea. I think hiding vehicles is a better play.

I like it, Dutch. I think with some lower grade weaponry, no thermals and limited ammo to boot I may shit in my pants. I am excited for the standalone but as scared as shit that some of the suggestions on this forum will be implimented.
-
I'm all for zombie profing cars. Zombie proofing, not so much.
-
Good idea, not too difficult to implement. Doesn't grass already lie down when you crawl through it? Could the devs change it to even walking through grass make it lie down. That way you could track a target with a little work and patience.

More variety of weapons in the stand alone
birdman replied to lonewolf12's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
If the suggestion forum were a fifty story building, posts about new or more weapons would be the first fourty-nine floors, and the parking lot. -
My solution to solve the bambi hunting problem
birdman replied to Nasakenai's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I liked someones idea of flags in the cities. Once you have discovered a flag it is added to a random spawn pool that you build (within that server). So you are rewarded by getting off of the beach D-Day style.. -
Stunned - knocking someone out with a club
birdman replied to Perplexelerator's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
If you have the skill to sneak up on someone you definately deserve to knock them out without losing (whatever the humanity system will be) humanity and get some well deserved l00t. -
Airbase, airport, airfield. Planebase? The whole community has it's lips puckered and permanently affixed to flying's taint.

Standalone: Outside Base Construction (Very Detailed)

Age of EmpireZ? -
Dayz:SA is a good name for official Stand Alone?
birdman replied to vacalouca's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/94640-stand-alone-title/ I clicked back two days worth of posts and found this without the search bar. -
Said hundreds of times, but absolutely correct regardless. (or irregardless for apache25) Beans.

Rocket quote: "Whatever the system, I think the golden rule is that it should support the way you want to play with your character, not make any kind of judgement or anything, and not force you to play a particular way . . ." I want to be a scavenging, scumbag hermit with a molestache who lives off the land and the blood of bandits. How can I do such a thing if I have to pick a class?
-
Not to flame but these specific suggestions scream PvP. From my experience Snipers need no help. Also everyone would be Blackops and continue to snipe anyway.
