Nesuma (DayZ)

I could live with this but as I read the only shot where you collapse immediatly would be one into the neck (the part where the spine meets the skull). I don't think that an accurate damage system like this is possible yet so I'd accept the random seconds.

Which post :D? And to the others: Yes, I was thinking about the risk of attacking someone, most of the time it is not dangerous at all, because you 1 hit or knock him unconscious (which is great) but then I fought that this shouldn't be every time. I really hope they will implement it, just think about: You hear one shot and then immediatly 3-10 (or what ever) and you know that somebody just got shot and you've the possibilty to get him now or get away safely. KoS for life! :D

Exactly, have my beans :D

I hope they will never implement things even a bit similar to this (It is a good principle but not for this game). If DayZ becomes a coop survival zombie game where you can win against the AI it would break everything what made DayZ so special.

Aren't persons who hunt bandits the same PvP-lovers who just try to do it in a "good way". I guess every bandit would like to kill other bandits only: Same fun and people don't judge you. But there aren't enough and you can't see if someone is a bandit or not now. Which is good. But I think this increased the KoS because more people shoot everything, which is good, too.

Wouldn't go with DayZ. What you're describing is good, but has to be another game. You can't change DayZ into this, even if you could programm all this and it worked, you would have designed a new game.

Huehuehue Let's start again. I love and hate to discuss this topic because it reflects me (KoS person). But hey, don't call it CoD/BF Kiddies. I, for example am a Minecraft kiddy (daaaaayum) who enjoyed playing on hardcore PvP servers with griefing and clan system and all this epic PvP stuff. And I guess, because nobody teached me to play as a PvP-whore, some people just liking playing competitive. And no, I am not a psychopath in real life who can't stand people xD. But maybe a well-educated person could tell me why some people like PvP and some don't?

Always ask yourself the question: How is it going to be fun? Maybe from time to time after you cleared a big base with 100 zombies and had an epic fight. Then you find ammo to do the same thing again and again. The only always different, and therefore interesting moments, are the encounters with other players. As a hero or a bandit (Hope you can help vs. Hope you can enjoy your PvP)

I know what you mean but i really don't think it would work in DayZ. If it should happen they had to add so many PvE elements (Like for example farming and stuff). Or just like an idea I postfrom time to time :D. Add special white listed servers which have one hive for 1-4 Weeks and you cant respawn. Make it a different mode and everybody is happy. But for things like this we will have to wait for release.

Advantages of staying alive and grouping in: Real Life: Dayz: -You survive -You keep your stuff -save Humanity -Respawn -social Contacts -Mates can respawn -keep or regain your life befor -Turn off PC shit happened (after a long time) I understand your point but please if something gets changed ever give it an extra mode/ another game so we can keep our beautiful PvP Game, in an apocalyptic scenario. I respect you for actually role-playing DayZ and act like you would act in a real situation but some people just want to have good action. Oh and jeah you can't win against the computer in DayZ, sure you can survive but it doesn't matter because it's just a game. Win against another player is much more fun. I guess you have to play a co-op game to actually "simulate" a post apocalyptic world, it can't and won't happen in a game like DayZ. Why should you "win" against the zombies by killing them all? Start to repopulate? Build a farm and plant your food? :D

If you shoot on sight why do you do it? --> Realistic reasons: Don't want to die/Items/He did something bad | Real reason: It just makes fun. There are people who just enjoy PvP. You fight against somebody and you win. It's just the best action. No matter which game is is. Minecraft (Hardcore Guild PvP server with griefing)/ Star Craft II / World of Warcraft / DotA 2: Every "competitive" game has the same basic principle: Get strong and bash others. Some people like to stay in the woods only and survive with lakewater and (not yet) animal meat. I can't understand how this should be fun but I still don't judge you. can you explain to me why you are not bad at the game if you shoot on sight? --> I am not bad, maybe my character is bad but I just play the game like I love it. What is your opinion on people who shoot on sight? --> Obvious Do you think they are just pure douche bags that ruin your DayZ experience? --> Only the 30 seconds after a death, then I reflect why I didn't get him first and be happy with the memory Should they be ashamed of themselves? --> Guys who kill in the area around the south-coast: yes. Everywhere else: No

People always judge. They want to feel better so they insult the guy killing others "exploiting" his 3rd person view... There are servers for 1rd only!!!

Cross it out... ha! Best joke ever.

Who cares about dicks, let's admit, everyone of us would spray atleast one dick playing with mates. And with the racist slurs, I always think: Who cares? If someone calls me a "damn german nazi" or whatever I just don't care. And if they spray it on a wall in an apocalypse game, what ever. Hunt them down if you want to "do something good" or just ignore it. The positive aspects outweight the negative ones in my opinion.

You forgot: -Waiting after falling down 0.5 meters (For example: backside of the store) -Waiting for the character to stop while switching things

Hey guys. What do you think about the idea of different modes in DayZ? For example a new mode where zombies only need 1 attack to kill you but need longer to attack (you can block or something)? I would love to try such modes but don't want them to replace DayZ. So why don't you just make different server options just like regular and hardcore? I hope we can expect such things after the release. But now your opinion. Would you like to have these modes (maybe even a non-pvp mode... urgh....)? And something I hope we'll see in the near future: That your clothings actually make a differents. Right now they're adding the wet cloth system. But I hope they add more: -Different sounds of shoes, jackets (a hoodie sounds differnt than a raincoat while running) -Sunglasses making the screen darker, Motorcycle helmets which reduce the fov about ~45%, a part of your cowboy hat on the top of your screen? -Running with a helmet, especially motorcycle helmets gives you headache? Do you think that would be too realistic? I think that it would make the hardcore dayz server even more epic.

This. Except for the permanent, I don't want to always get 1 Hit by zombies. I like DayZ for the PvP griefing too! :D I guess both of us are thinking of the Walking Dead zombies :D? Well I didn't run fast but i can say that is is not funny to walk/walk fast with a motorcycle helmet on your head because it is kind off heavy (and you hear less etc. --> would be nice to see such things, too)

What the hell? I thought DayZ is a shooter!!11!1! Joke aside just avoid coast citys like every smart thinking person if you don't want to play DayZ like a shooter.

Yes? Did you ever wear a bicycle/motorcycle/cap? You always see something. Not in you focus but on the edge of your view. Or for example glasses. You don't see the clear frame but you see something

This. I love the rain but everytime I played while its raining the Weather changed every 5 minutes. I don't expect them yet to have a Sky texture for clouds with and without rain but I'd like to see that it's raining for 40 Minutes or hours or whatever but not 5 minutes rain, 5 minutes sun, 5 minutes rain etc.

I love the principle of hardcore especially in DayZ but the first person in this game is extrem annoying from time to time (how it looks like if youre meter away from the textures). Also long trips are more boring and the most important reason, I don't want to start a new character atm :D

Hello Guys, I just want to start this thread to read a bit about your style of playing DayZ :) I for example, am somebody who plays like an asshole. But sometimes I feel bad for it and after my last few rounds of playing I maybe want to try another style. I know there are "heroes" and "survivalists" but what is fun in DayZ for you? When I play Dayz I walk from town to town trying to find the best things and hope for an encounter with other playes, which I hope to survive without them ;). But what are you doing if you are (almost) "geared up"? Are you searching for bandits to be a "hero" or helping fresh spawns? What are you doing as a survivalist? Just walking around and hope you get shot to gear up again? I mean you do not kill anybody and at one point you have everything you wanted... so? I am looking forward to hear your styles, maybe someone can bring me to try another way of playing this wonderful game (of PvP, jeah that is the point of DayZ in my opinion, surviving is boring because it rewards me with nothing?)

I think they should make special "modes" for the servers not only hardcore and regular. It would be better if they add some more server options (private hive only!). For example white listed servers which start at the first day of a month and then have 1 hive for this month (or week or 10 days or whatever). If you die you can't respawn. Also the loot doesn't spawn. This would create a very realistic apocalypse situation cause everyone has the same possibilities and nothing respawns (not even zombies nor animals). For the normal servers I want respawn cause you can't play when the server comes online. I'd prefer less food and water in the buildings. If you're away from the coast you are drowning in food and drinks

So you are telling me that every neutral survivor stalks other players, or try to get a "hero" by helping others? Maybe I'll try this one day. Buuuuut I guess I'll just go on playing my kos Cowboy :D

Nice but I've to admit that I'm a person who can't imagine a background story. I don't know why because in Skyrim or Fallout or what ever I actually like it to play a role but in DayZ I just can't. Maybe because there are not enough ways to personalize your character :/. I think I've a quite strange philosophy. If someone needs help in DayZ I help them. If they don't need help, I kill them :D. Edit: Oh and I hope that real survivalists are going to answer to this thread because I would really love to know what they are doing in DayZ
