Clumzy (DayZ)

A lot of these features sound like things that I would never want in DayZ.

I made a topic about this a while back, here were my arguments for it and ideas: "So, I had this idea, and I thought it may change the way people play on DayZ. What if there was no information that told you how many players are in a server? It would mean that no one could carelessly stroll into the airfields, knowing that there are 0 players in the lobby. It would mean that every time a player goes in to scavenge, there is an uncertainty that the player could encounter a large group of bandits, or nobody. There may be some problems out there, and I've thought of some, and ways to combat them. Looking for someone in a server So, what if you want to see who is in a server? You could just count the player names in the list and you would have an advantage. I think the solution to this would be a search function, so you can look up that player's name specifically. Computer Specs Having more people in a server causes decreases in performance. Hopefully this will be improved upon in the standalone, but if it is not improved enough, then there could be some sort of compatibility rating for a server and your pc. Not just regarding player count, but max limit of players, ping, whatever." I definitely think it could work.

I haven't seen a lot of backlash from it. It just makes sense, obviously if clothing customization is added then we probably won't be seeing these skins. Id be pretty happy without a humanity system, adds tension.

Ahoy, I was watching The Walking Dead, and saw one of the characters hand a pair of binoculars to another. I thought, "It'd be cool if you could do that in the DayZ standalone"... But then I thought, "You should be able to do that in the DayZ standalone!" So, my suggestion is that you can press a key to hand over whatever item is currently in your character's hands. Your character extends his hand, holding the item. Anyone that is nearby and looking at him will see an option in the action menu to take the item from him. This would make tasks like trading, disarming enemies, or assisting a teammate a lot more fluid and natural. However, only the equipped item is given. If a gun is handed over, no extra ammo will be. Also, the person receiving the item must have one hand free, and if they have a weapon equipped (Say, if they're demanding someone hand his weapon over at gunpoint) they won't be able to use the received item until they put their current item away. Please share your thoughts and criticisms. спасибо.

Everyone seems to think that DayZ is set 5 years after the infection... That's DayZ 2017.

I always figured that the bulk of the population evacuated the city or something. That would explain the lack of vehicles.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I really doubt a construction hat could take a few pistol rounds.

If it is added, then it would have to be optional, so players on hardcore servers can't confirm a kill by just pressing a button.

You're probably thinking of the DayZ 2017 mod mod, set 5 years after the outbreak.

1. This is already in the game. 2. 5 years?

How I think the starter loadout should work: -You spawn with random clothing -You spawn with nothing by default, but small chance of random items that a normal civilian would have: -Watch -Plastic water bottle -Very small chance of a civilian backpack or other storage device -Cellphone, can be used for taking photos or distractions. And stuff like that. Nobody should exxpect to spawn with a military backpack, painkillers, bandages and a flashlight, but it's not reasonable to think that you would spawn with nothing useful whatsoever.

Putting it on toggle kind of defeats the purpose, don't you think? That would barely change anything.

If you want to make the humanity system more realistic, remove it.

There are already PVE servers you can join.

Maybe not part of the toolbox, maybe just wire cutters as an item. It should definitely be added, though.

I think that's a necessary addition to shooting while in a vehicle, different stances for shooting would be nice too.

Skip to about 1 minute in. Yeah, it's not full speed, but it is offroad and he tears that car up.

I just killed a guy! Time to magically get camouflage! *Pop!*

Man, a lot of people think it would be just impossible to hit anything at all while in a moving vehicle. I once read an article about little birds being used in the middle east, sometimes the soldiers would just lean out of the side and shoot with their M4s. If the US military does this out of a freaking helicopter (and there are ArmA mods out there for this, too), would it be so implausible to do it in a car? Sure, it might be difficult to aim on rough terrain, or if you try to 360 no scope them with your enfield, but if you lean out of a car with an automatic weapon then you're gonna do some damage. Oh, and it definitely shouldn't be limited to pistols, and SMGs. We shouldn't be artificially limiting the players just for balance.

I wouldn't mind seeing a front sling where the weapon falls to your chest when not in use... Now THAT'S minimal effort.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't find it believable for one in every few players to have a glider suit in some backwater former-soviet country.

What he means is that this is a mod of a war simulator, so all of the character models used in the mod were soldiers in the base game, and therefore behave like soldiers.

Yes.

This is why it's never been given much attention.
