well theres the problem, as it is, game is not realistic enough to support this idea, if you need to wait for 2 hours. thats enough to bring you close to dying of thirst, so as far as game play goes, this suggestion flies against logic, if they fix the silly starvation and dying of thirst to be more realistic, where if you need to sit on your ass for a multitude of hours, you dont die of thirst or hunger there. If not, this system is a bad idea, Also, the snipers dont have to log out, they simply kill stuff that spawns fresh off the coast, and since you dont spawn with a mak, or any weapons to begin with, what? the group of people with flashlights in their hands come to them to die faster? i am sorry but

what if hes running with the .50 cal to make it to the special offer of friday, 2 zombie cooches trades for one .50 cal rifle.... so thats why people are carrying them around, they are looking for a zombie pimp.

you and me buddy, we are going to make brown the new artistic color of the season.

I want to make penicillin out of my beans :D

When did i say armed bandits? i am not stupid like you, you know. i was thinking of basics like pushing zombies off of you, using simple throws to get em of you, or possibly if(not saying it would occur alot) you get a drop on some survivor chasing you or your chasing him, knock him down for a while with a tackle or such a thing behind a corner, etc. etc.

not sure about an office, school yeah, nurses room. but seeing how many hospitals and such we got in chernaruss :P i wouldnt hold my candle on it to be more common than morphine, maybe less so.

What i would like to have is the option to have an ingame notepad, where i could leave small paper notes into some pile of empty tincans, saying something like "Pssst hey buddy, i allready looted the upstairs, no point for you to go there, P.S. I haz 53K zombie kills" -Chicago Ted-

pffft those are for sissies,

Modern zombie mythos 101. -Zombies retain the animalistic nature of our nature. what does that mean? have you ever pointed your gun at a small pack of wild animals? then shot one? they immidiately scatter and run in zigzags to avoid your accurate field of view, this is what the zombies do. -Zombies have the curiosity and learning capacity of wild primates, Giving them a sort of pack animal mentality, they move in packs, and are aware of each other, giving others space to move around. just my 2 cents on the matter, you can thank 28 days and 28 weeks later movies for the current zombie mythos in video games and movies.

you can potentially make, silencers yourself, but they wount have a long life, propably 5-10 shots. then you need to replace the fillings, and with each shot the sound becomes louder as you use it. Good idea imho, but i think we would need to implement something new to do it, or improvise multiple current mechanics to create it, say toolbox, scrap metal and empty tin/soda cans as required materials from current ones, then add a new item vaseline or thick hydraulic oil which is closer to gel.

Have both, kayaks(modern style) would have a minimal storage for supplies, you could propably house waistbag in front or behind of your feet, and with canoo(traditional style) you got more room for shit, but you need 2 people to go anywhere fast.

I am saying because the fpw, in dayz as it is, has its limitations, both have good and bad points to them, fpw lets concentrate more on what is ahead of you, while 3rd gives you a better overview, 3rd will allways be a good thing to have simply because you cant just look if your bleeding from your backside in fpw, to name one reason. And yes, if you want a realistic fpw view, you would need a field of vision of 145 or higher from side to side. cant really rely on any of your pictures, as A.) you did not provide different versions of the same screen, B.) they were not showing long range objects. And yeah i play alot of fpw games, and i like them, but dayz is trying to simulate a scenario where 3rd person view in this case, patches up the short comings of the current fpw model,

Walkers dressed like lil helpers, crouchers/ hippity hoppity zombies(as i like to call them) dressed as reindeers and crawlers dressed out as drunk hobos. now that would be awesome :D

I dont even prefer sniper rifles :P i prefer shotguns with a supressed M9 with SD rounds on the side, my buddy usually has a lee enfield or a sniper, and if need be, we switch our loadouts between us. sometimes the other has the shakes so he cant operate a sniper, so we switch up, having shakes inhibits less on the m1014 for example :P loaded with pellets.

indeed, would be a damn nice addition. not to mention people might not even carry that much shit in it, maybe 100-200 9mm rounds and 90-150 7,62 short or long rounds.

well it baffles me that it could be that hard to simply change the double barreled slightly to accept the 8 tacks, and why not the 15 stacks too(1866 slug stack) considering all the other things that have been done with arma.

Let me start this, by giving a word of advice, to avoid FR 396, IT used to be an awesome server where me and my friend played regularry, but in the last 3 days, it has gone through a transformation from a nice cozy server, to a godawfull lagfest of apocalyptic proportions. For the record, i have a machine that fills the specs of Arma 2 OA, and my friend has a PC that just blows away my PC. but! 4-5 days i was still sporting a nice 50 fps (capped due to V-sync) stable, at normal settings and my native res of 1920x1080. but now.. i am lucky to get 27 fps, most of the time its under 18, sometimes as low as 13. now i first thought Huh? and checked if i had some programs eating away my resources, nope, then i figured, nah it must be temporary and lowered my settings all the way down to low on all things, AA and anistropic off, and res lowered to 1600x900, nothing helped, then it hit me, we had seen alot of recent changes on the server, one being the idiotic anti cheat overlay(idiotic placement also, blocks your audible and visual level indicators) and some silly strict script changes, like you can no longer wear ghilley suit on that server(which made catching hackers easier since they prefer that suit) but the owner also started screwing around with how the world worked, we could no longer gut animals, or when filling a canteen the canteen can be seen dropped to your feet and drop through the ground -.- Silly things like that, But to top it all off, the server prewiously could handle only 15 or so players without starting an immense lag fest and timing people out, well... now it does that with 11-10 people already and he is trying to run it for 40 players >_< Just my 2 cents on the list of servers to avoid if your looking for good time :)

Love how some people dismiss the use of their own body as a weapon, :D i bet they would get trampled on in a riot... also if they ever go to jail, i have an advice for them, :S Dont drop the soap.

Your telling me you would get picky in a survival situation? you do know all you need to do is gut the animal, then chop lobs of meat, the skin comes off when it is cooked, consider yourself a lil bit wiser now princess :)

it has already been a couple of years the practise of US military to adopt the same ratio of snipers / riflemen as the soviets had during the cold war, so the 50 cals would be relatively easy to find. A shot to leg or arm shouldnt kill with one shot? have you seen the combat videos of the 50 cal being shot to a persons torso? one shot can cut a person in half,so your telling me if you get shot to an arm and rips half of it off, that with all the bloodloss you would still live... sure right... wait i just need to stop laughing here Mr. superman. Edit: for claritys sake, it is not the bullet that does the tearing, but the shock that follows it.

IT would hurt bambies because if they keep spawning to the same place, how many times would you be willing to spawn near to a large city, like elektro, only to die 10-15 minutes later from a sniper bullet, because you cant wait out the chicken shits at the rooftops by logging out, and dont tell me that BS "it spawns you to different place everytime" just no, the worst spaw rows i have had, 7 times in row to kamenka, 8 times in row to elektro, 11 times in row to cherno(yes... fun times) not to mention most of the cities offer the best chance of finding some survival gear to start with, so here is what a bambi would be facing; Spawn to elektro for example, find an open residence, you loot it, and since you cant log out, and hear some rooftop campers, your forced to find a way out, even though the bandits dont know your there. Even if you managed to go into a spot of absolutely no interest to anyone, you would be forced to sit there... how many times do you think you would be willing to repeat this? if your BS system had been in place, i would have had to do this 3 times in a row at a worst time i can remember, and for god knows how long. this is one of many examples i could write, and i still believe abort lock will not come, as it will make this game less appealing to new players, and players who simply want to enjoy the game for the survival aspect, "yes look at us, surviving, in this corner, waiting for 2 hours, for the gunshots to stop, uh huh, really fun!"

so many reasons why this is not going to get implemented an overall and bad idea to start with. There already are cons to killing people, it is called being a bandit. People will remember you and shun you, and the bandit skin kinda gives it away too.

Shit litelarry hits the fan.

most of the europe celebrates christmas starting 24th xD you guys start late ;D

Why not have the option of having a Fleshlight, instead of a flashlight in your hand, so when your stressed out and want to relax faster, you grab that fleshlight and.... use it.
