    Weapon Jams and Cleaning

    Weapons will deteriorate in the standalone and will require maintenance. This is a good thing.

    Encouraging Cooperation Among Players

    From what I read it made very little sense. If you are hit in the chest with a .50cal round you certainly aren't going to be walking away from it just because it wasn't your head. The rest of it will be balanced out and sorted for standalone.

    Shooting at someone...

    Shooting any player that isn't a bandit will mean you will lose humanity. If you make them bleed, they will lose blood, if they die it will NOT count as your kill, it will count as a death through blood loss for them. If you kill them (and you started the engagement for no reason) you will get a murder. You monster.
  4. Honestly? It's not too great. You ruin it by talking throughout it which completely defeats the purpose in what you are doing, add to that it's already been done by other YouTubers but better it won't really bode to well for you. If you really want to do it, find a character you like and don't talk throughout the entire video, the entire point is that it's only the character voice they are meant to hear.
  5. Nothing would happen anyway, staff have no control over private servers.

    How to make death actually matter more

    For a start your suggestion has no formatting, there is no clear differentiation between the two ideas other than a 1 and a 2. This means nothing. Both ideas have been suggested multiple time before, if you took time out of acting like a smartass and used the search function and apply some of that intelligence to actually reading the forums you'd realise that yourself. Now if you look at what you yourself said in your own post about your own group guarding it, it means that implementing such a system will only harm loan-wolf type players and won't impact groups at all, counter productive if anything. Dying in the standalone won't just be 'oh, I'm dead. Let's run back to get my stuff'. If you died from infection, your gear is infected, if you go get it back, you will get infected again. If you were killed by a player, it will be looted. If you died from zombies, they won't immediately disappear when you die. The game is not meant to be 'realistic' whatsoever so I have no idea why you're throwing that around either.

    Medical box thing full of everything..

    It doesn't take much thought to realise a crate containing EVERY item in the game spawned next to multiple helicopters and tanks wouldn't be legitimate. You clearly came to the forums because it is very clearly not normal, the 'pot of gold crate' as you put it is hilariously obvious to anyone that has the mental capacity of a child.

    How to make death actually matter more

    You shouldn't be able to loot your body, that's fair enough. But no timers, with no self-looting they are pointless and only further punish players with limited time and/or patience.

    Join my server :)

    Stop crossposting. It's against the rules and more importantly, it annoys the shit out of me. BAD NEO!

    Medical box thing full of everything..

    Ahh right, I thought it only contained medical stuff. It was spawned in by a hacker and the fact that you knew it shouldn't be there yet took all the stuff anyway means you're a total cunt and deserve to be punished for it too.

    Medical box thing full of everything..

    Probably a custom camp on a private server. They will just be medical crates, you find them in hospitals and various medical facilities around Chernarus.

    How to make death actually matter more

    Timers are totally stupid. If you die and you're anywhere away from Cherno/Elektro you are pretty much fucked because you're stuff will be looted and/or hidden before you have time to reach it. Dying with decent gear certainly puts you back at a sever disadvantage to other players, blocking them from playing for 30mins / 1hour serves 0 purpose. It was implemented on The WarZ so they could charge retards more money to play again earlier.

    Will SA be modder friendly?

    What people want is stuff just handed to them - they like shooting zombies, they just don't like the survival aspect and trying to build themselves up. These people should fuck off and play Left 4 Dead. DayZ is meant to be a harsh, gritty survival shooter - not a hand-holding, start out kitted game like everything else, that's just what makes DayZ unique and frankly fucking awesome.
  14. It would take far too much manpower to sift through all the false accusations to actually get to anything worthwhile - Bohemia and the DayZ Team at this point just don't have the staff to do that 24/7.
  15. rossums

    Will SA be modder friendly?

    I've got to disagree one of the brilliant things about DayZ is the distinct lack of hand-holding. If someone is new they will die. Tough shit. Boo-fucking-hoo. That's just how it works. Allowing the various parameters to be changed will just create the multitudes of crappy servers like there are now, the majority of which lie empty because the very concept behind them is stupid. People shouldn't be allowed to tweak zombie count to make life easier, they shouldn't be allowed to change spawn rates so they can get their favourite gun, they shouldn't get an easy vehicle because they can't be bothered to walk all the way to the NEAF from Kamenka - they should be dropped in the shit of it like everyone else to find out what to do for themselves.

    Suggestion: Tranquilizer Gun

    Just use the Lee Enfield. It also puts the target to sleep and spices up the game as you pull the entire city of Cherno to your location.

    Will SA be modder friendly?

    I have to agree. It's very annoying having to hunt through pages of '1000+ VEHICLES. 200 CHOPPERS. INSTA-REFUEL. STARTING WEAPONS. FREE GHILLIE' servers trying to find one that isn't a totally bastardized version of the original game. Having a good strong 'base' game is the key to any game like this and the ability to stop on one server and start on another and not have to work out how many vehicles are around, what the loot tables are like etc. makes life much easier for everyone.

    Lookin for someone to play with

    You should at least give your location so anyone that wants to team can make sure the server is on the right side of the planet - some servers can get very laggy if you're located too far away.
  19. rossums

    Will SA be modder friendly?

    I don't think it will be and I really, REALLY hope that it isn't. It is a good idea in theory but it will most certainly be abused if that is the case. If players are so interested in modding the current DayZ Mod won't be going anywhere any time soon. If they were to try and stop the abuse that will happen (Such as the re-textures like you mentioned) they w ould have to split up the community into vanilla/modded etc. etc. which just splinters and breaks up the community and makes it even more awkward than it currently is. I hope that it will be controlled by the staff which will enable a smoother and more consistent experience throughout.
  20. If it took you 3 weeks to work out how to put the beans in your bag I really don't think that the controls are the problem.

    Advice for new PC user? :D

    The better items you get, the more paranoid you become. Such a rush when you have a full kit of good gear and you hear gunshots being fired towards you - a bit of an adrenaline kick!
  22. rossums

    A wild idea.

    I would think a lot less of Rocket and his team if they allowed anyone to buy their way into closed testing - that would do way more harm than good and potentially cause a lot of harm to the actual release. I'd rather that the testing phase was limited to the testers selected allowing them to do a good job finding bugs without having to worry about morons that have bought their way in and have no interest in helping sort the game for release. That said, I would not pay anything for pre-alpha access, it's pointless (There are no players to play with) and the game can change far too dramatically at this point in the development cycle.
