  1. oh, so because there's a lot of lazy people out there I have to stand with a character that can't do shit just because most people can't? And what about height, hair, fat? shouldn't my char and most of them be bald, shortish and fatty?? No sir, we already have enough of this IRL. Don't put this limitations ingame, ingame you're a bastard with high genetics/training. And the rest depends on your skill using it. As Rocket said, what a character can do ingame it is because his owner can, but as you can't run 10km for him, you char must be able to do that by himself. If you want to add realism to this, you could just say those who aren't capable of running 10km are already zombified. Which I find quite logic actually with those Usain Bolt zombies we have here.
  2. A well trained soldier passes out after 100 of sprinting with a sniper rifle. Fuck Logic. I hope they add the weight as a characters feature but I expect realistic numbers... Soldiers carry an equipment of 23kg (even more sometimes) and they do run for 10 km straight. Get out of your chairs people and see some of the real world from time to time...

    Hitmarkers, yay or nay?

    Hitmarkers for when hitting someone? NOT AT ALL Hitmarkers when being hit? Actually, I consider this a must, I don't have sense of touch or pain ingame, so something else to compensate the lack of this needs to be add. If im being hit from my right side, I should know... This is why nametags distance and crosshairs should be deleted. 3rd person is another story though, as isn't actually real to se only through a 24'' window fov in front of you. IRL if you stand next to me I would notice you, ingame in 1st person I wouldn't. So isn't that unrealistic. P.D: about nametags, as the game cannot reproduce 7billion different faces, they're should be there, but just for the name, only showing on short range, and only w/o cover... If not, I rather them to be completely removed. I would like this. About the "NO GUI". Not so true... IRL you have 5 senses, ingame you have one and a half only. One for sound, half for view (as IRL you would have almost 180º sense of view, ingame you don't). So, precisely for realism purposes, some HUD is a must.
  4. I quote myself from another similiar topic http://dayzmod.com/f...5-tent-packing/
  5. This. I don't want a game to tell me what specs I have to use but I also don't want players to turn down their specs to see players in the grass because they see no grass on their screens. There's no need to force high (or low) specs but to make them that if someone turns down some specs that may help them to spot others players/items easier, make the players/items harder to spot by half burying them and making them half invisible or whatever it takes. As for the view range, if it is locked server side, I hope it is locked to much more than 1.6km, because Im tired to go running on a field and don't see where I am going....
  6. That would be a lot better don't you think? Problem is you're not right. Some grown up audience can't afford a new computer because they have lives to live (and pay for), but 12 yo kiddies have dad and mom to buy them an über pc to be used for nothing else than playing.
  7. I died once in NWAF and as it was night and were only about 5 people playing in the server I decided I will go on a run from kamenka to NWAF to loot my body. Didn't stop or loot anything around, just ran all the way up there. When I was finally there, I opened the blue door from there and the bitch broke me a leg -.- I was there, with a broken leg, with anything, not even a poor crowbar, and my body a few hundreds meters of me with all my gear which included coyote, m4sd, m9sd, m24, and ofc, a morphine! so I spent my time crawling to where my body was, being specially careful with the zombies around as I had no weapons to defend myself, having to stop and wait for zombies to pass by praying for them not to see me. It took about an hour to get to my body. 20 min from kamenka to NWAF, and 1 hour from NWAF south to NWAF North side. Oh, the irony xD

    Lag

    I have a 100/10 mb connection and still experiencing this kind of lag pretty often. Yesterday I was shoot in the head, on 1.7.4.4 I would be dead immediately, since 1.7.6.1 this did not happen anymore, I just fell down but not dead, then bleed, then 10 sec later broke a bone, and then died like 30 seconds later. And this is happening too much often I must say.
  9. I want lots of weapons, melee, fire weapons, military weapons, everything.
  10. Feelings in a videogame? And everybody agreeing to it? You guys are taking this game too seriously... I am usually not KoSing anyone, but if I do, I feel nothing...

    Need some confirmation on vehicles

    If the fuel tank is also red it may also explode as it is whit the red engine.

    Your "process"?

    Suppose Ive died last day and quitted the game. Today im wanting for regear and then go to my camp (at north). This is my process: - BEGIN LOOP - Suicide - Suicide - Suicide - Suicide - Oh, Electro!! - Sprint, sprint, sprint - Oh, industrial! - Sprint, loot, get axe - Sprint - Supermarket, loot, backpack :D, food/drink, watch (for sure, always tones in there), with luck maybe a compass and a gun - Sprint - Hospital, loot, 3 blood bags, 3 morphines, 4 bandages, 3 painkillers, 1 epipen - Sprint - Firestation, loot, a weapon (whatever it is, I dont care) - Die from KoS - GO TO LOOP and repeat process - If not dead - Sprint - Sprint - Go North - 25 minutes to camp - Done! Zombies killed: 0 Time spent: 10 minutes looting in Electro (if not dead), 25 minutes running, if dead, add another 10 minutes. However, sometimes I just take my time, depending on how much leisure time I have.
  13. I still don't get why people keeps saying .50 cal weapons are overpowered because they kill you in one shot. Well, I say other rifles/shotguns/even pistols are underpowered because they don't! It is absolutely normal a weapon kills you in one shot, shoot yourself in your feet with a .50 cal weapon and enjoy your new leg 8 inches shorter, but not for long because you will bleed to death in a matter of seconds. Have you ever seen a .50 bullet? If this doesn't kill you in one shot, you must be terminator. Isn't the damage or the weapon what needs to be tweaked (and imo, their damage needs to be tweaked to do MORE, for all guns, specially pistols). But what needs to be tweaked are the sniping mechanics. Bullet drop, wind, humidity, IGE OGE, even fucking colioris effect and you render those weapons useless without removing them. This would be nonsense ofc, it is just an example of what could happen just by adding all sniping mechanics. But a few ones are ok and sniping gets difficult enough for only 1/100 people to be able to do it. So no more whinnings on the forums about being sniped (Hahaha who I am kidding, of course they will keep crying even if they only die once per year due to snipers).
  14. As long as they're always done by the user im ok with this. Put for example the starting up protocol for helicopters in Take On Helicopters, expierience can make you turn on your heli in about 20 seconds, a lot less than an unexperienced player. Same with snipers would be cool, but it needs to be managed by the user, not the character. Skill has to be always userside.

    Stand Alone zombies

    You must be new here :)
  16. In a zombie game, it does. 'Gore' is the family surname for 'Zombie' a zombie serie/movie/comic/game makes no sense without gore.

    Roamers?

    So it goes both ways. I find it fair, until they fix the "zombies in town, there mus be people" I find only logic it is possible to do the same outside towns.
  18. Agree. Death messages should be removed, kill count should be removed (so people doesn't shot a survivor until the death message appear or the kill count increases), you shouldn't be able to spot people because of zombies (well, not so true... if there's someone there's also a chance zombies are chasing him) but at least won't be that easy as it is now like 1.5km before arriving a town you already know if there's someone just because you see zombies. However, they already got this fixed in the SA :P As for the 3rd party software. I use to play with friends. When we play L4D we use the ingame VOIP system, same for Aliens Colonial Marines, Killing Floor, Arma ACRE and so on. But Day Z has no support for groups, and no, as much as I like realism, this is the only line I won't cross on this videogame. Playing with my friends is a must. In fact, is the only reason I play.
  19. Why would I want to play on a different server than my friends? I read your topics about not allowing friends to find each other, but I think If tomorrow the city I live would collpase, odds are my family/friends (depending on who Im living with at the moment) and me wouldn't separate ever. So why is it so unrealistic to play with my friends? In fact, I don't remember the last time I played a game alone. Im only playing online games and only with friends.
  20. Hiding player list I would be agree. People tend to play different when the server is empty or full. But the server name? how I am supposed to diferentiate between all the +1927598175 vehicles crap servers and the real good ones?

    Dayz SA to be a failure

    You know side chat was taken out from the mod a few updates ago right? if you play on a server with side chat ON you're playing on a modified one (even if it is public). Change server and no more mic idiots.
  22. So instead of fixing the exploitable issues we keep it as they're now and also add a lot of pointless ways to be a hero, so being a hero is even more nonsense. Fuck logic.
  23. This is why is hard to get and maintain the hero skin. Discussion was over after this post. I don't know why people is still arguing. P.D: btw, I been a hero for weeks without problems maintaining the skin.
  24. That is their problem. Or I would say our problem, because I have a shitty computer and be able to reduce view distance would help a lot to my performance. I know I will be on disadvantage against snipers and other players, but playing at 10 fps is even worse.
