I run between throngs of zombies and players without suffering any injuries...and there I go being a pompous elitist again. :)

Isn't 4/10 just 2/5... IE, 40% of the time? As in, a failing rate?

The current hero-bandit humanity system is flawed; wearing a ghillie suit or camo clothes overrides both, so there's no way to tell if one or the other is good or bad... I just shoot both.

Players will be able to wear whatever they want in-game, fortunately; bandit-or-hero is only going to be a face-value claimed status, nothing something "Achieved." The humanity system is as a good idea as it is flawed. I have heard nothing about humanity continuing to the SA.

Dude, seriously. I understand how BattlEYE works. It was a nonserious post.

I reiterate: I was joking. Calm the hell down; it's just a thread post, man, not pissing grounds. Some great art forgery wasn't attempted. No one is being assassinated.

That's exactly the argument I have been using; safezones are for pussies, but if we have a "Way in" we wind up with essentially the same thing as just having tents everywhere.

Hi. So lots of people let FRAPS (or what have you) run when they play DayZ, right? So there's been lots of crazy stuff captured "On film," so to speak, while playing DayZ. Unfortunately, I've never been able to snipe a helicopter pilot while recording, which is a real shame... However, I do believe I've found the greatest sniping shot I've ever made at the end of a video of mine. I'm uploading it in the bandit section due to the nature of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib8xy2ddMrY Feel free to mute. The last kill is at 9:20. It's not, obviously, the absolutely greatest shot you've ever seen, but that wasn't too bad, was it? What is YOUR greatest shot?

1: Like I said, that was one of my very early flying experiences. Calm your tits; why would I stage a DayZ suicide, giving up a hero skin, R870, binoculars, NVGs... you know, shit you don't want to lose? 2: I'd never survived an exploding helicopter before that moment. The closest I'd ever come to anything nearly that awesome was taking a Winchester round to the chest and only being unconscious for a few seconds, and then taking a M107 to the foot without breaking my leg. 3: It-was-a-joke; how the hell does someone accidentally induce hax0rs?

You beat me too it. If there are too many structures on the map, load times take AGES... like back in the beginning of DayZ. My question to you is, how would they be robbed and destroyed? My question to the forums is, what the fuck do we need underground bases for in the first place? What happened to choosing the old industrial building in the middle of nowhere (I don't know it's name), setting up roadblocks gearing up with some sniper rifles and defending a prefabricated structure? This is the apocalypse, not a rebuilding simulation.

1: I made that video months ago; I assure you I'm much better at flying now. Would you like me to find video evidence? :) 2: Did you not notice that I was literally shocked into speechlessness My biggest concern was worrying about BattlEYE kicking me because I accidentally induced haxed. XD

Lots of beans are being thrown into this topic, none of them at the OP XD

Read my response above :)

1: Yes you can. I've taken people's primary weapons before, let alone bags and side arms. 2: No; the car passed over me. 3: Yes-and-no. The only time I've ever seen anyone survive an exploding video was at around 5:20 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZ985hMpWA&list=PL7XH4CVGhhYRMHvGZnOkSQu5u9g_Kfgm9&index=4. I've never seen anyone but me achieve "Survival" after impact. And if you notice, I still die. Cars blow up with me driving them all the time, and I don't usually survive.

He was a kind of a chirpy British voice.

Wait, your suggestion is to make the chat function activated 100% of the time? ...interesting. And was it my post that inspired this? :)

Thanks. I really want to see it implemented. Thanks, Mr. Hockey Exactly! Except... fun? XD Pff... you just get hooked up to life support and... oh, wait. :)

Let's face it; crime is a pretty bad problem, regardless of where you go. Especially in fledling nations with stockpiles of post-war leftovers in the hands of every-day citizens. It's a sad truth, but true all the same. And what is done with prisoners that have not committed capital (death-penalty) crimes? Imprisonment. For a long time in ArmA 2, before DayZ was the "Big Thing," I wanted to make a final-stand-type mission, where it's you and your squad versus 4+ waves of tanks, aircraft, and infantry. The primary issue was choosing a location to have this last-stand in. First I tried Devil's Castle, and found placing units correctly and not having them plummet to their deaths was impossible. Then I tried the roofs of industrial buildings in Chernogorsk, and had about the same problem. What I really wanted the whole time was a multi-floor, several-window, roof-accessible building that couldn't be covered in under at least 20 minutes of checking rooms. And what fit that bill? The Chernarus Penitionary, which (sadly) doesn't actually exist. My suggestion is simple: Construct a prison building (when you guys are done with your beautiful ship wreck) and build it somewhere near the middle of left of the map, along with a police station, along a road leading into one of the minor nondescript towns. The prison should be dillapidated, with busted windows and bent metal bars. Blood along the walls, as prisoners either revolted against their captors or fought starvation, trapped in their cells with zombies wailing outside. The primary loot locations should be the kitchen (attatched to a mess hall) for food and the warden's office/armory, where police issue weapons (Remington 700, Glock, Remingtion 870, etc) can occasionally be found. There should be a spawn chance for a squad car(s), but they can only be taken/driven if industrial parts are shipped all the way from the major cities, so people aren't taking such short walks to fix up and drive around vehicles. The building (with the new loot-in-every-corner spawning system) should take no shorter than half an hour to completely search. Maybe a 400x400x10 (400 yards x 400 yards wide/long, 40 feet ((4 floors)) tall), with some sections of the building inaccessible and stair cases that bring you between floors. There should be a good lack of ladders, except around the armory/areas the officers of the law have to get through quickly, making it theoritically defensible against zombies but not as simple as climbing a ladder. Spawn items should include: Fortification Supplies -Barbed Wire -Fencing -Sand Bags -Tools to Build Aformentioned Police (military?) Equipment -Police Issue Firearms and Ammunition -Squad Car -Prisoner and Policeman Zombies -Flashlights -Batteries Items for the Maintainence of Officers and Prisoners -Food -Small Medical Supply Cache -Shanks (survival knives) in Prison Cells -Uniforms/Unsoiled Clothes (dress like an officer or prisoner) -Papers/Penciles/Pens/Highlighters (whatever will be included in the new note writing system) Am I forgetting anything?

Story of my (video game) life. :)

I got here too late. Upgrade CPU :)

I was playing on a server that got "Haxed" by some script kiddie. The screen flashed in rainbow colors: I'm Matt Daaaaaaaaaaamon. I'm Matt Daaaaaaaaaaamon. I'm Matt Daaaaaaaaaaamon. Then he started playing (in side chat) the "Matt DAMON" from Team America. It was hilarious. Fortunately, that was the worst that he did.

I knew I spelled it wrong. I know it's a bullshit excuse, but I was on my great grandmother's Mac Lion using an outdated version of Firefox with no spellcheck. I'm not half the Grammarian I can be without spellcheck. It's a sad result of my generation :(

I like using odd names on PC games. You have killed Everyone. Everyone has died. Someone killed you. You killed Your Mother. Obama betrayed America Hitler betrayed Stalin Oswald assassinated JFK JFK was last seen at the Grassy Knoll Various messages from Wolfenstein, TF2, and Halo Reach matches.

For the most part, DayZ is run into town, run back. If your friends play in your house/dorm/whatever and you can connect to each-other easily, run the server yourself so you can maintain vehicles and whatnot between you/allies. If you all choose the same time(s) to play, you can have interesting 2 friends v 2 friends v so on and so forth matches of hunting each other down.

Handcuff someone, leave 'em for dead.
