maybe 500 is ok I guess. I don't think they should be able to knock you out easier though, that's one of the most frustrating things that could happen. You're all geared up and ready to do some heavy shit and then a stray zombie attacks you, you get knocked out and that 1 zombie beats you to death. Happened to me except the 1 time I got hit in that life the zombie snapped my leg and I got killed.

2000-3000 blood from a single hit? I agree with the rest but that is just nuts! I mean a makarov bullet does only 889 or something! The zombies would be able to kill you in 2 hits since you would probably go unconscious and they would smash you while you're on the ground. you must have made an error with the 0s or you just forgot you only have 12k blood. Maybe they should hit more damage but not that much it's way too much.

i dont know how people die to zombies, when I play with my friends i'm usually well equipped near the middle of chernarus and they tell me where they spawned so I can meet up and we can head north together. Before I get there they are complaining on skype about getting raped by zombies and I dont know how they manage to do it. I can avoid them easy and if they chase me oh well ill just go to a pine tree and they run off. Just gotta learn how to hide from zombies. By the way it helps if you play at night time since they can't see you very well.

I dunno aren't they supposed to be just infected like you see in 28 days later etc, not full on dead walking but just infected with a virus so they are still human, thats why they can run and behave like animals crawling around and growling etc. So really you shouldn't have to hit them in the head. I think to make them harder it should be more difficult to find ammo (definitely dont make them even faster they already catch up to you..). I literally find makarov mags in most houses I find which is kind of nuts. if you had less ammo you would find it way harder to kill 10 zombies chasing you down the road.

i will never surrender to anyone, it will be their fatal mistake if they try to make me. I'll go all out on them and if I take at least one down with me it was worth it, for that reason I always try to have a grenade in my inventory just in case it looks like they will get me. Besides if he wants you to sit you might as well drop your guns and run into zombies.. its a long animation to get up and you're totally defenceless they can shoot you in an instant while you are helpless. Either put your life in their hands or put your life in your hands. You choose. For now I've chosen the latter. Also I won't shoot anyone who is unarmed or shoot anyone in the back, I am not a coward. I'll only kill people if they appear to be hostile and are armed well enough to kill me in a fight. A guy with a hatchet or makarov is not really a threat. Though I can recall a time when two pretty well armed bandits toying with me in cherno, I only had a hatchet and those bastards called friendly. I could tell by his voice it wasn't true. Sure enough they started shooting but I sprinted up to one of them and laid into him with my hatchet. I heard his legs snap and he died quickly. The next guy chased me around a corner and I badly wounded him before he shot me in the head.

I'd say waiting set amounts of time to get fresh spawned loot you knew would be there sounds like exploiting the loot spawning system. but of course it must be easier to occasionally log on already in the NWAF control tower right after the loot spawns, take everything of value and disconnect like a little girl.

i'd say sniping is as realistic as it needs to be, I think if sniper rifles were very rare that would be perfect. Only thing is you can find one if you know where to look and hackers litter servers with DMRs, as50s you name it which is a problem. I mean you already have to find the distance and work out where you need to aim for the shot to hit and then if they are moving you have to adjust for that too. Whenever I go across any open space I also run jagged a bit and slow down randomly, which would make sniping me really hard. I've survived people shooting at me like that before, lol this guy got mad after first 2 shots and sprayed and he actually pulled aggro from a nearby town and got swarmed from what I saw.

so pretty much make every server a private hive? that takes out the fun because if you have to change server you start over and if you dont go on that server again its all wasted time

if you were still in combat from the zombies then that might be why, my advice is dont log off to avoid a fight

sometimes its hard to tell and if a colour blind person has trouble with green > red transition I really dont think they will be able to effectively differentiate subtle changes like that. I even have trouble sometimes. If you dont want the indicators i guess you can cut up a sticky note and block the indicators with the strips

Agree on that since there are colour blind people who play DayZ of course, but the debug menu isn't such a feature and therefore won't come back. I think maybe if the symbols were a circle and if the circle reaches the borders and is full then you are at max but the circle gets smaller the more hungry/thirsty/cold/hurt you are (as in still separate indicators for each just to clarify). This way it isn't precise like a % or number but you should be able to read it unless you're blind. I agree with this thats why I thought of the circle, it's not precise just an estimation

honestly cant tell if hes a carebear or a troll

inb4graveyard It was never meant to stay it was there for debugging hence the name. No way it will be in SA.

wow if that happened to me you'd hear the FFFUUUUUU from miles away

For the radios we could have < > to switch channel as usual but there would maybe be Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3 etc for different frequencies. I think that would be cool. I think it would be better if everyone used mics but not everyone has one so they must type.

sidechat is annoying, sometimes there will be 5 squeaks talking over each other at once and I have to mute them all.. I use skype it's good. SC will (hopefully) not be in the SA

haha newborn anyway that was most likely a hacker screwing with you, don't worry about it you should be fine even if you keep the stuff.

I tried to put on camo clothing twice (found different one each time) and both times I was kicked for script restriction #45. I still looked normal but in my inventory only had civilian clothing so my camo disappeared :|

dont want it dumbed down any further, dont want to see bandit skins etc

sniper definitely should have just killed him when he had the shot

I avoid everyone I come across if I can. If it's impossible to hide, I choose to either kill them or let them go, which depends on how well armed they are; i'll kill anyone with a good gun but if they have a hatchet and a makarov then I don't have to worry about them following me and killing me.

I swear there have been threads like this, and the answer was no every time. I think rocket really doesnt want any NPCs to be involved at all.

Before I start just wanna say the guy had a lee enfield with enough ammo to be wasting it on zombies he can run from. I was unarmed except for the grenade. He made the mistake of ringing the dinnerbell in one of the busiest places in Chernarus and got killed. Please keep your butthurt away. Thanks. -_-_-_- Just had a heap of fun in elektro, it was getting dark and I had found some dmr mags and other ammo along with a frag grenade. I was pretty bored and wasn't gonna live long (very low blood from lack of bandage, kept finding dmr mags in sheds lol) so I decided to try and blow someone up. I heard shots coming from a church, ran inside and the guy almost shot me. I ran out, he left (maybe followed me not sure) and caught sight of him again. This time I followed him, he went back to the church trailing a couple zombies. I run up to the entrance and follow the zombies in with my nade out, and in a couple of seconds theres a live nade right under his feet. Boom. He dies instantly and I am knocked out and bleed to death shortly after. It's a lot of fun if you're bored and know you're gonna die anyway. Anyone else do this before? or crash a car or chopper into some people and kill everyone?

that sucks if they do despawn, it's a pain to find them and fix em up, can't imagine what it's like to come back to camp and it despawned.

I think the helis are fine, only thing would be realism wise most players can find one and straight off the bat know how to fly it which is unrealistic. They can start up arma 2 OA, go to armory and practice as much as they want so when they find one in DayZ they are good to go. If suddenly apocalypse happened for real I doubt people would be running to choppers, starting them up and flying off like a pro. I think I would be able to start one up (if I had the keys) and fly to safety but most everyday people probably wouldnt know what to do. Point is i think it should be harder to fly to make it balanced. I can fly fast and low a couple meters above forest trees easily, maybe too easily. should be way harder.
