    So Would you Kill me?

    I didn't even read the posters loadout. Chances are, I'd kill you.
  2. Name tagged with range... -.- Stop'd watching.
  3. Trade you my orange for that DMR? ;)

    DayZ Convention

    From the comparison looks like they've got more urban areas to add. ;)

    blood bags

    Giving yourself a blood bag shouldn't be out of the picture - it should however require a hefty time constraint to do so in my opinion. For example - make the person giving himself the blood bag have to stay stationary for a period of time. A standard IV bag for a person dehydrated could take 10-15 mins to drain with a large gauge needle used... Perhaps a 10 minutes timer to give yourself a blood bag, would prevent combat abuse, and also leave the person giving themselves one 'vulnerable ' to attack...? Perhaps make it so if its interrupted only a small percentage of blood is given back to the player, and the blood bag destroyed.

    Harvesting Plants

    I do like the idea of being able to go into the woods and live, however, a lot of people without any type of guide - would sadly not know what even a wild growing carrot (which I never encountered to be truthful with my adventures into the wild) mush less to decide if they found a wild onion depending on what region you are at, plants vary greatly. Being from the US I would most likely be lost as to the native growings of Cherno - let alone being able to distinct which tree is the needed one to chew on. ;) Given there are some general guide lines - and rules of thumbs in regards to finding tasty treats in the wild, it often takes a experienced guide or plant knower' to figure out if what you are looking at, is what you think you are looking at... if ya follow me. Given the time line - and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - the DayZ, the Z is not for zombies - from what I was told, but never felt like looking up to see if this was true, it stands for Zero. Thus giving us Day Zero (the start of the infection and event)... would be hell of tons of food. A good spin off on this idea would be to make "dooms day prepers" caches that we could stumble upon, either in urban or forest areas, people are always "preparing" as crazy as it sounds.

    battle eye intialization failed

    Make sure you stay in the lobby long enough to give battleye the time to do what it needs to do. If you attempt to play the game before battleye has updated, and successfully restarted then it will happen. At least thats the case when I started playing. I waited for several minutes in the lobby to no reply from battleye, would attempt to play, and it would kick me out a bit later because I didn't let the battleye download and install a small update, then restart (all happens while in the lobby, prior to joining into a game) Not saying thats your issue, but I had to wait 5 minutes or so.
  8. Does need a sub, but the sub can contain all the repetitive ideas (everyone is able to post there)... while the main forum suggestion area, admins have the ability to drag only popular or first time ideas to the main forum... sucky part is it would put more work on the forum mods... ;(
  9. Pretty sure this idea was already suggested and posted in the past... Sorry I had to, LMFAO. Legit idea though honestly.

    Forums are for discussion in the first place... I rather enjoy coming on here and talking about all topics. I'm past the urge to play the standalone and can wait a long time for the release if need be.

    There are several "layers" of wind depending on the level of altitude. I know for sure, I've been swept by them several times jumping out of airplanes... different directions of wind can exist several hundred feet on top and under one another. I've been pushed hard to the right, and 10 seconds later, completely taken the other direction by the wind, this is about 500-800 feet up. The cloud movement in the sky, even if the ceiling at that time is only 300ft, or 1200ft or even higher, in general has nothing to do with the wind direction on the ground. The ground wind can be effected by a lot of unaccounted matters by most people. A given example of a cross wind is a city... I might have a strong W-E wind (wind blowing from the west, to my east) but because of the city buildings within the city the wind direction can change drastically, if you could almost image water filling into the city it makes it easier to understand. A few intersections north I could have a strong N-E wind blowing because of this flow. Now that we've taken that into account - lets think of the drastic, larger scale wind changes that could be forced into the area based off tree lines, valleys, mountains, ridges, saddles, cliffs, and even spurs... just to name some. All of which could have their own little take on changing up the wind...

    Thoughts on the M107 / AS50

    I'll have to upload a few videos of Wastelanding it up with the KVSK' - 950 - 1000 meters no problem with out wind... I am more deadly with this weapon. Able to range, and swiftly get on target make this weapon a nasty piece. I agree it would seem to fit more into the situation - but it wouldn't make it any less deadly in the hands of someone good...

    I am so freakin' excited once I saw the options they are exploring, and I HOPE they find a way to make it work... "We are exploring spawning all zombies and loot at the start of server initialization, again a huge departure from the previous mechanism." You'll still get hosts that do server restarts to spawn loot :( Snipers are going to have to work a lot harder to locate players.
  14. I still own a copy of WarZ - I can't remember the last time I played it. I still own a copy of DayZ - I can remember the last time I played it. If it helps this odd-ball guy out with his decision about WarZ. As of right now, not only does WarZ run like crap (yes, even compared to the MOD DayZ) it also lacks any real depth in my opinion. Both of these statements are opinions of my run ins with both the games. I sadly could no bring myself to invest more then 9 hours play time into WarZ. It was more of a "well... lets give it one more try..." ... and a hour or so later I feel just, bored with it. Audio is lame, which I use audio A LOT in DayZ to locate others (zombs and players) Graphics/Animations are WORSE then the DayZ MOD... IE - Worlds slowest prone crawler' Goofy item system in my opinion. I'm not ever going to wear a firefighters hate during times like these... I mean - get it if you want - no fanboy here, pure gamer. I'd give WarZ a 2, and DayZ MOD a 7 (mainly due to flaws of being a MOD, client bossing server around, and lame bugs you can run across due to the Arma II engine.) Nite guys. OH PS ROCKET - I FOLLOW YOUR TWEETS, AND DUE TO THE TIME ZONE MOST THE TIME YOU WAKE ME (Yes, I'm a looser, his tweets go to my phone.) UP AT 5ISH... MIND POSTING... A FEW HOURS LATER!??! I mean ... this morning you woke me up about ass hats... :|
  15. Rocket just wants to mod Space Station 13 at the moment to be honest. Hes left us for the dark side.
