Want to hear a secret? Ok... here it is: (Life's not fair!) Sometimes guys sneak up behind you, chop you in the neck with their hand, and you have no way to defend yourself. Now for the real reply. Why your argument is invalid (in my terms). 1) It's hard to do the moves. Well, there you go. If you were a good player, you would know the guy was coming to try and CQC you. Basically, it's just at that point up to you're luck and his luck. You can both get out of it, or do it, sure, but whether you succeed is based on luck, and that close, if both know what they're doing skill doesn't really matter. It's gotta be player skill, the main reason. 2) When this happens to you, most likely you are trying to kill someone or are dangerous. If you get CQC'd in a town that you KNOW has someone in it, you deserved it. It's not that hard to watch, and the victim moving drastically decreases the success rate. 3) Minigames in DayZ? Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft. Lol, that would be stupid. What happens when your wrestling on the floor and a zombie comes over? Another player? Yeah, good luck coding that in, getting it to work, making it fair, and making it liked. It's gotta be fast and simple, or it doesn't work. If the victim has time to struggle (which in my idea means they get away), then your opportunity is gone. 4) I did a thing where the player character shouldn't know what's going on if the user doesn't. Your character shouldn't start countering automatically, you should do it yourself, otherwise not. That guy who came outta nowhere just lost for even a more BS reason than chance, just because you knew it wouldn't matter, when you got the damn button tapping you could easily do it and win. 5) We're not talking to Mr. Death, here. All these moves do not kill you, so chance isn't to bad, put up to your life. They could shoot you afterward, but if they had gotten any gun, even not yours, they would have done it anyway... so it really wouldn't matter there.

Takistan... sucks. You're too loud, too visable, can't get rid of zombies in the buildings because just about every single one will get you trapped. Fallujah... sucks, same reasons, and has a giant airfield everyone goes to and just milks the barracks for weapons. Starts killing everyone... Try again? Ok.. Panthera. Rural. Crashes. Everywhere. 2 (or 3, maybe) airfields as well.

What if rocket (or ANY other dev member, out of the what, 500?), being the smart man he is, realizes this, and removes the ability to raise your gamma? Say he tested it, any any computer with a reasonable brightness already should be able to run the game with the default gamma, and actually have it be a bit bright? I think it's definitely possible to remove this kind of thing, or keeping it from being abused. I don't raise my gamma. That's BS. I expect others to have the kind of decency not to piss and whine that it's dark and deal with it. Nighttime sucks, but you live with it, you don't raise your gamma.... Now what? Now that gamma is gone, are NVGs better? Now how will everyone see in the dark oh god our bullshit baby way has been thrown out the window someone call the cops this guy is trying to kill me. Think about it if players can't abuse their settings. I think I second the guy who said that AS50s and their whole family don't belong in a survival game. The last of them sure would not be in Chernarus, that's for certain. An AS50 is so heavy, you have to fire it while laying down or you'll probably be herniated, and it definitely won't be accurate. The spotter has to carry ALL the gear because just the gun is heavier than both their gear combined. You would move at a speed of 5mph running as fast as you could with this big, bulky .50 cal anti-matierial rifle that has no business being in a game where there is no need for such a gun. Except maybe helicopters, but you can take that out with an LMG just fine. Or even a DMR.

Who wants to team up in the SA and make an ArmA version of The Shining?

I'll stick to the indoor pool and bring my snorkel and water-proof gun (crossbow).

Well, sure, as in every multiplayer alpha game, when the players start to pour in after the CLOSED testing, with (example to DayZ) 1000 players, going up probably 75x that, the game will be absolutely crushed. People will cry the game is dying. Other than crashes, I don't expect much more problems to last that long except the bugs that are the cause/post effect of them. Still, we'll see, and I don't plan on crying, so I guess this alpha will set my standard of expectation. I think you mean a bit more of what the game has become, and that makes sense too. But, if you follow the rocket example, you think you can do better, you do it, so until I can, I'm not going anywhere, and I'd hope others feel the same.

I think someone needs to make a map that's really rural, and then a high industrial city somewhere or something. Like a poor country, not much military. I think it'd have interesting gameplay. Maybe. We just need to try it, goddamn it!

Oh, hey, my name again in an unquoted post! That's just my thing, posting long replies. I do that so no one can come up with any bullshit "Well you didn't say this, or you didn't cover this" I make it so there actually is no confusion. I give many, many reasons so that by the time you're done reading, hopefully your argument is invalid. I don't care what you think. I do what I do, and I have no problem with it. You do? Well the only argument I have there after explaining myself is, I really don't give a fuck. You still read it, anyway.

Those posts were very hard to write, believe me. It took me like 10 minutes to figure out just how to make it convincing enough, and not overly ridiculous in errors. It seems to have worked. I actually thought by the second post someone would have caught on. Hm. Basically, I told you to use periods, or just correct your run-ons. In the first post, I asked for pictures of the International Hotel in the SA. You know, reading them again, they kind of sound like I'm a pirate....

Why don't you quote my post? You're lucky I keep up with my threads. I could have not even found this... what a shame.... Yes, I have had NVGs multiple times. In combat? No, because I wasn't as daft as most to try to engage anyone with them on! I didn't need to. I had eyes from the sky and those pierced more than a bullet of any gun. First off, most NVG users have a sniper, like a DMR, or stay at a medium/short range out of town. Anything else isn't a disadvantage, it's just stupid. And, mhmm.. you can see everything. If you're in the trees and there's a field next to you, you sure can see everything. Even in that, you can see MUCH MORE than anyone else. And if they're actually using flares, they probably don't have gamma up! So da faq yu talkin bout, cuz dey nevr hav both advantedges on yu et da saiym tyme! Usually. There are always exceptions. I'd like to think that by not abusing things like gamma, I can actually call myself a player of this game. I mean, that's complete bullshit, turning up your gamma at night. Those guys are weak and don't know what it means to have a "survival" game. I've known how, but I never turn up my gamma. I'd expect a real DayZ player to follow the same example, no matter how shitty night is. All in all, I'd like to say I DON'T GIVE A FUCK about the disadvantages of players with NVGs. As long as you use the night to be stealthy, and stay a distance, like a logical, tactical, smart survivor with NVGs, it's not about you. It's about Charlie and Sam, the poor survivors that Yulonda harasses all night, and they just can't seem to get a break....

You can't deny this when you say "...the impression..." "..only mentioned the process with regard to loot...". Frankie told people about the SA (As much as he could) and he said zombies are finite. Want where it is? I can ask my friend to pull it up, if you really want me to. Besides, of course loot would be infinite, as the real amount of loot in the country would be too much to handle, at which if it could handle it, it'd be okay to have finite loot till restart, I guess. Or even after for a while. But DayZ wouldn't be interesting if towns didn't have loot. It'd be a lot of forest and animals.... like a farming sim....

Step one to achieve total world domination: 1) Open ArmA:CO w/ DayZ running. 2) Go to >Multiplayer >Host New Session >Editor 3) Place a player unit, and write in the init code "this addWeapon [class for SAW]; this addMagazine [class for SAW mags]" 4) Place tons of zombies around Cherno. 5) Place playable units around Cherno. 6) In their inits field, write "this disableAI MOVE" 7) Run the mission and have your friends join the slots except the one with you and your SAW in it. 8) Enjoy no-aggro zombies and frozen players! If you have any further questions feel free to FK OFF! . . . . . :D JK abt the FK OFF part. The steps should work well tho.

How about alien zombie dinosaurs? Or or or or... zombie alien dinosaurs! We could just add dinosaur zombie aliens. But I think the last one is just lame....

Private hives suck. 1. You have control freak admins who restart the server or kick/ban someone because they killed or tried to kill an admin. 2. You have immature douchebag admins who don't know how to run a server. 3. the community constantly ignores you in side chat, breaking the immersion of the game and complaining about deaths. 4. They're full of little shats who want all gear on spawn and, like an above posts mentions, "feel they have an entitlement to LIVE". Need more?

Most of this post is irrelevant as your complaints will be stifled in the glorious development of the Standalone. Yes, I say development, as the release will likely still have a FEW of the bugs you enjoy today. Did you know that....? ....DayZ is an ALPHA mod? Know you know! If you've ever played, or even SEEN a picture of Minecraft Alpha, you'd be running back to DayZ, that is, if you saw what minecraft looks now, when the rare generation error doesn't occur. And, I don't compare DayZ to LoL or CoD. You said that DayZ is a PvP game, and it's a bandit game because of it. I said that there are games that are PvP and NOT bandit games- it doesn't matter what genre, it's just to prove the point that DayZ is not a "bandit game" because of PvP. It is a survival game because of the way PvP goes down, and also because of the zombies. What about wasteland? That's PvP survival. Is it a bandit game? No, it's not. I've made plenty of friends there, but even so, you never know what anyone is going to do, or what guns they have. They don't shoot for personal gain. They shoot to make sure whatever threat there may be does not come back to kill them. That's not being a bandit. That's surviving, and what most players in DayZ do as well. Maybe it's wrong. who cares. You do what you have to do. Life is a game you play to win with no expectation of actually doing it. You can't just keep rolling the dice and hope for a good roll. You gotta make that luck. Any way you can. No one will argue that the zombies are buggy, but that's being fixed! You're yelling about a problem that's being worked on, and is probably already finished! Why else would Matt and Rocket make a video on just clothes and swamps? Because the zombies are buggy still? No! Because they want us to be surprised and see them when they're finished and amazing, not ruin it while they're still being worked on! (I'm was not yelling, just using emotion, lol :P ) Also, think this way: there could be a man who can lift 200 LBS. Is he weak? No. There could be a man who could life 500 LBS. Is the man who can lift 200 LBS weak? No. The zombies are not weak. They can kill you, especially in the new patch, and have claimed many, many lives since it went live. The guys with all the ammo are just STRONGER than them. And... stealth beats any amount of zombies. The first step in NOT DYING from zombies? Not having them aggro'd to you! That's what they do. Simple as that. Or just gung-ho kill all the zeds at the airfield and load everything in before more come. And yes, you're right, people don't kill people for fun IRL, but I never said that. I said, IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE, that random strangers who didn't know eachother at all washed up on the beach, in a country that they didn't know anyone in, that was lawless and completely overrun by zombies, you better believe the majority would smile while they killed anyone they could. They don't know them. Dejected. Just another pretty face to plant in the ground, nothing more. No consequences. Nothing. If this happened in real life, I expect DayZ to be a pretty accurate outcome. There are decent people. When you look at the Walking Dead game and AMC series, you see that. But those people know eachother. Or, they live in the same state. Near eachother. They all saw their towns fall. They all share that. What do we share in DayZ? A skin. There isn't enough flak in the game to stop a bullet from the barrels of their guns. Just live with it, or die, because that's the direction you're headed if you don't.

No, it'll be fine, considering rocket knows this. He'll plan for it. This is why he delayed the release, most likely. He'll get the big bugs out that people have been waiting for, and have them tell him the ones he's created, most likely. They have probably gotten out a ton of them just from reworking the engine.

Zombies are finite in the SA, so killing all zombies until server restart is possible. It'll be nice. Still, there will be a LOT of zombies. I hope that the players can wear some clothes the zombies have (not like take them but find clothes that look like theirs) so it'll be more immersive in the fact that if the zombies where the clothes and you find clothes in their house that no one in the country wears but players, it's like "WTF.....". The point being players may look a bit more like zombies then.

LOL... go back and read my super long post. I don't feel like reposting it when it's right on the other page...

Don't let this become like Minecraft! Gosh, I used to love it when HARD MODE wasn't as easy as peaceful.

That would be impractical, expensive, and stupid.... It would still have clipping issues. The reason the bodies have clipping issues once dead is because they become STATIC. If you've spent time in the editor you know that items that are static do not have physics applied to them- same with the bodies. They are set in a position, so they have to be static or they'll bug out. With ragdolls, it simply makes physics apply, so zombies will slump against walls, instead of going through them, once dead.

*cough* Resistance (augers) *cough* *ahem* What?

Ragdoll means NOT like the animations where when things die they fall backwards the SAME way every time, or the one when they throw their hands up and fall forward. Ragdoll is just falling randomly all the time.

Sounds like a hacker trap. They place hacked items and such. I dunno if they set a trigger that when you grab it, it executes a command to teleport you/kill/ect, or if they do it themselves. But it happens.
