People want an "authentic" zombie apocalpyse experience. But they dont want the "authentic" part. People should have the right to behave however they want. You cant say that "oh we cant give these buffs and nerfs to encourage X and discourage Y" and then say "but we cant have spraycan writing because there would be cocks everywhere!". Because that would just be attempting to limit a playstyle. YOU might not enjoy seeing cocks everywhere. But someone else might. YOU might not enjoy KOS. But someone else might. YOU might be a good person. But someone else might not. I guess what Im saying is - if a writing mechanic is going to be implimented, it shouldnt be done half assed if its possible within the engine and not going to take significant amount of resources to impliment. It should be done the whole way and people should have to deal with it. Would I personally enjoy seeing cocks everywhere? Not really I guess. But I do think people should have that option - IF THEY CHOOSE TO.

All I want in terms of graphics is the roads not to look retarded. Seeing the texture on the road being squashed together to create lines in the road that only appear up to around a 5 meter radius of my character is really immersion breaking.

The way I see it is like this... The update will come when it comes. If I want it to come faster then I either need to learn some coding skills and try to join the mod team, or get an awesome job and start paying the team money so they can work on the mod more often. Until then, enjoy life, go for walks, maybe ask out the girl next door (Im still working up the courage for the 3rd one!)

After playing Mass Effect 3, I find the death of children to leave me apathetic.

You cant. Get a car and ram it or something.

Original Reason: New Reason: Backpeddaling much? How do you know he is an enemy? Is your mentality "if you arnt with me then you are against me"? I guess you have been KOS by people like yourself which made you like this, which is very ironic.

So you couldnt gain anything out of shooting it and yet you shot it anyway "because there are douchebags like me out there that will try to ruin your day because they can". Is that about right?

It doesnt take stones to be a bandit. It takes stones to wait and find out if the other guy is.

Perhaps its "may do"?

And its THIS kind of mentality as to why you get SOS. Its a cycle thats idiotic and for the weak.

If you log in a field then suck it up. You could just as easily logged out in the treeline or some bushes nearby.

Id like a scoreboard of survival times so people can compete. This wouldnt be based on the days your character is alive, but rather just add up the time you are actually logged in. Survive 1 day: Survive 7 days: Survive 14 days: Survive 30 days: Survive 120 days: Survive 200 Days: Survive 365 Days: I figure that if anyone gets even close to the 365 day achievement that they could just add more. But really what would be important would be the scoreboard of the longest survivors. I wouldnt reccomend any stat tracking such as murders/self defence, however times bandaged, number of times food eaten, number of times drinks drank, number of times shot, number of times broke bones, number of times healed someone else, etc Im down with. I dont think adding achivements such as "find a set of night vision goggles" or "pilot a helicopter" are a good idea since it can influence peoples playstyle. Example, you have NVG, I do not. I see you with them. I kill you just so I can loot you to get an achievement. Otherweise I might have just let you go. Same deal with a heli. Lets say I find you refueling. I could just wait for you to leave. Then again I might want my achievement so badly that I put a bullet in your head and steal your heli just so I can get an achievement. IMO ANYTHING that can influence you to perform actions you otherwise may not, is a really bad idea. Stat tracking and achievements for surviving X amount of days is the only real thing we can look at. Even the stat tracking would need to be looked into since some people may just start killing people to try and be top of the leaderboard if the number of kills is tracked. I mean this would technically encourage banditry. However on the flip side, tracking things such as people healed may encourage hero behavour which would be unfair a little when you think about it.

If you were ever to chage for whitelisting then you would need to make sure you had a huge legal contract that stipulated you wasnt going to run off with the money and that the money was going to be used specifically for the servers upkeep. Though Im still not too hot on the idea. I mean I figure that somoene would pay for access to it, but its certainly not my bag and I guarantee that a vast amount of people will be calling you a greedy b*****d and stuff. I wouldnt recommend it.

The end of the world is a sausage fest. Im hoping that steam standalone will fix this. I dont wanna live in a world where women arnt around to reject me.

Ive been on some servers where vehicles and tents are removed after a restart because of database problems.

The ease of aquisition hurts the "survival" aspect. As it stands, even those who do not horde can get fully geared given a few hours. "Oh Im a fresh spawn. Let me just walk into Elecktro. Dum dee dum. Okay now I have a bigger bag, plenty of food and an enfield, its time to go north. Dum dee dum. Okay Ima stop off at stary and get me a better weapon. Dum dee dum. Okay now ima head to the NW airfield and get a better weapon and bigger bag if Im lucky" Loot needs to have spawn rate reduced.

It feels so good be finally out of the closet. THE WALKING DEAD TV SHOW SUCKS!

The walking dead TV show sucks. The only reason people like it is because there isnt any other zombie show on TV. It started off decent and had some potential, but it went down hill pretty quickly.

No. How did that gear get in the tent in the first place? The game didnt spawn high end gear in tents (unless they cheated). The person went out and spent some time collecting equipment and put it in the tent. The problem isnt the storage of the gear. The problem is the ease of initial aquisition. It would make much more sense if the tent was empty, not because the gear vanished or something artificial like that which you are suggesting, but because the player had not been able to fill it since gear hadnt been so easy to get. Decrease the spawn rates of weaponry, it will decrease the ease of which you can fill a tent. Ideally you want someone to be taking gear out of the tent at a rate that is equal to or higher than the rate of which you can fill it, thus "surviving" rather than living in luxury.

Both. The only servers I cant seem to get a big backpack, kickass guns and supplies on are the dayz2017 servers. And that leads back to "why should one be able to run back to his body after being killed just to get his gear back". The answer being because it allows other people to raid the tents for supplies should they come accross it. In truth your idea has been suggested many times with respect to making your own body unlootable to yourself once you get killed. I suggest you look at the pros and cons of that. Hypothetical. You are at your camp. Tents at your base. Lots of gear. I find you. I shoot you. POOF all the tents vanish. I get nothing. The idea is fundamentally flawed.

Keep things the way they are with regard to tents. REDUCE THE DAMN SPAWN CHANCE OF ITEMS. The reason people can horde items is because the game allows you to horde items since you are pretty much given every item on a silver platter.

If zombies were more of a threat in that they forced players to work together, then players would be less of a threat.

Mountain man here.

The plane picture kinda gave away it was L4D lol. Im genuinely shocked that nobody noticed what game it was from the screenshots you provided @.@

This reminds me about the time I forgot how to tell the time. I was about 8 and had been able to tell the time for like 6 weeks and then suddenly POOF, my watch didnt make any sense anymore and I had to re-learn how to do it. Only took a few days though. I still wonder if I got hit on the head and took some brain damage >.>
