The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken.

He went easy on you, 150 years ago you'd be shot for cheating in a game. 250 years ago and you could be hung up as carrion.

No thanks... I don't even know what songs the Walking Dead plays but I doubt I'd like them, and I doubt the producers would look kindly on a game stealing their OST. DayZ standalone needs a lot of 60s surf rock, funk, blues, some good old-timey Kentucky bluegrass and a fair amount of diva pop. :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

Oh, that reminds me, depending on how they are implemented, crowbars could possibly be used to get into underground bases. On several occasions I've used one to get into someone's underground base... smelled like ass if I'm honest. Your suggestions seem good... not sure about missing limb zombies, but people have been wanting more use from the crowbar. "Eucalyptus honey" made me chuckle.

I think PvE should be high-risk, the game is about zombies but no one with the least bit of skill is ever killed by them. Running zombies should be terrifying! Sneaking and stealth should be rewarded - that, and anti-Z teamwork. Go in by yourself and try to Rambo it? Face a large chance of dying.

I haven't played DayZ for almost a couple weeks now... no real opportunity to sit down and mess around for a few hours. This suggestion would also likely result in tons of sleeping bodies all over the map... I don't agree with the sleeping thing, because you're totally vulnerable. In real life you'd actually be there, able to wake up and react, this would be like some weird "in stasis" version... I kind of think players should remain in the game (sitting down pose?) for perhaps 1 minute if they log out, that would probably result in a few unfair deaths, but it would be worth it to pretty much totally stop combat logging. On the other hand... I'd be pissed if a hacker showed up and my character was stuck in-game for one whole minute...

Ya, at the muzzle it does 889 damage but ten feet away and it will do slightly less... 50 yards and even less again... I don't know exactly how hit locations like legs alter damage, and there's a fair chance of hitting someone else's weapon too. My first thread on here was about surviving 3 Makarov mags at point blank range :lol:

It is pretty damn hard to lose them. Ain't nobody got time to run to the nearest tree. When you're killed by a zombie in a zombie survival game, you know the fuckers need to be nerfed, and fast.

First off: -You wouldn't find M107s in Eastern European countries -You wouldn't find AS50s anywhere When would you realistically have a mile-long line of sight on a person? And why would you try to shoot them from that distance? Puh-lease, any serious hunter isn't using a .50 BMG. Anyone using one is doing it for shits and giggles, and that's fine. And no, hunters won't walk miles with a 30-lb .50 BMG, they load their quads in the truck and use those to transport their shit... :huh: It's not stupid at all, go pick up a splitting maul, then imagine 5 of those. That's the weight, there's no arguing the laws of physics. And talking about "unwieldy tools", the M107 is almost 5 feet long. Yes, you could do it, but it would be like using a supertanker to go jet skiing. Nobody's answered my question yet - what's wrong with replacing it with a Lapua? Can take out a man in one shot at nearly 2,500 meters (it's been done), powerful enough to kill an elephant, half the weight of a .50 BMG, popular with various militaries and target shooters in Europe and North America, and over 5,000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy... ?

Sounds fun! NPCs are never going to gain traction with the crowd here - they could be wonderful, but they don't fit "our" (speaking for the people who think like me or quote Rocket on the subject) vision of what DayZ should be. It's like telling a Muslim he should try bacon - mmmf, delicious! Not gonna fly...

Also while we're on the subject of garments, I'd sure like to go around clothed in the "took ye fer an Injun" manner...

Hmm, I actually wouldn't mind if the CZ-75 replaced the M9 since a Czech weapon would fit the setting better than Italian / US Army firearms. But not the automatic variant... it would be so ridiculously rare you'd never see one... also I don't think it would be a very practical weapon. Perhaps a Stetchkin, there are various little Eastern European SMGs they could add too.

We don't talk about that here... I don't know what this is either. Maybe not worth getting the mod right now - you decide that, some people don't have an extra 20 bucks to spare, while others are rolling in dough. I say it's still worth getting ArmA 2.

:lol:

I just skimmed but: No side channel in vanilla standalone, I hope... True, they need to have a good chance of catching careless survivors... they do in every single "running zombie" movie, why not in game? Agreed, people these days have no patience, I blame it on... people these days? Everything has to be now now now. Too distracted to wait something out... I know people who can't sit through a movie without texting... Doubt this will ever happen. I don't even think those rifles should be in the game, you wouldn't find USMC DMRs in Eastern Europe, makes little sense. The .50s are just... <_< I hope Bohemia doesn't put any .50 caliber weaponry in the standalone, it's stupid. Yup, and it should be more a bit more complicated than simply "clickclickclick", that's no fun and just results in both people dying most of the time. No bots, no bots. I started skimming faster near the end.

I hope this isn't a Battlefield-style reviver. I can't see any other use for it, though - are they going to implement cardiac arrest? I doubt it. Hope DayZ standalone isn't going to cater to the casual crowd... This is where that thread "gore and dismemberment and sewing back on limbs" could come in handy... if someone's brains and face are splattered in little pulpy chunks all over the streets of Elektro, they ain't coming back.

Most admins ban for torture logging.

This thread reminds me of that 2004 ad for The Punisher. "GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE - 3/4-INCH HOLES IN THE HEAD KILL PEOPLE" Cue picture of the Punisher holding a guy's face under a drill press... yeah, not in my DayZ, tyvm.

I dunno why it says that, players start out with 12,000 blood, so it should take 14 body shots to kill a perfectly-healthy player. The Makarov used to kill in 6 shots. Perhaps they meant zombies.

I want a duster and a cowboy hat.

Yeeeah, sure... Barrett+scope: 30 lbs 6 magazines: 24 lbs (yeah... a loaded mag is 4 lbs) To illustrate how ridiculous a choice that would be, let's see what else you could carry for the same weight... hmmm... how about five splitting mauls with 8-lb heads? Rag-tag survivors in real life wouldn't carry this over hill and dale. They don't need to. The military has Humvees and Strykers and helicopters and tanks and massive logistical support, they can bring whatever they want. Any person who would actually choose to bring an M107 as their "zombie and human survival" rifle would be crazy. Uh, nope, I have no problem with one-shot weapons. A .338 would be a one-shot weapon. In fact, any gun should be able to one-shot people, damage right now is very basic. Has nothing to do with balance or lethality - I believe the gun itself is out of place.

You'd be surprised... Ever see those "store owner shoots back" videos? In many cases the thugs are tripping over themselves scrambling for the door.

Your example isn't really clear... Just a warning, people are gonna come in here and shout "no skill trees!" I think player skill should be just that - player skill... not how long you've been playing or how many "levels" your character has. That would require making certain tasks a bit more difficult than simply clicking an option that says "Gut Animal", etc.

Since some cheating geebo came up with the script ages ago... they used to be doing Gangnam Style. I preferred Gangnam Style.
