Clumzy (DayZ)

I`m pretty sure that is the entire point.

I'm not sure if this would work, the character model in DayZ has WAY more polygons than a character model in Minecraft. I don't think it would be as simple as going into paint for twenty minutes and coming out with a brand new, unique skin. I think I may have heard something about custom skins in DayZ (source needed) but they would probably only be made by experienced people and downloaded rather than made custom by anyone.

I just got an idea. It involves having a lot of vehicles, and I think realistically a lot of them would probably be in working order. So let's say all the gas tanks and stations are empty, because where are people trying to evacuate going to flock to? They need gas to get out of there. And everyone would be trying to evacuate, I'd think. So, not only do you have empty (or maybe a couple jerry cans worth of fuel if you're lucky) gas stations, but also roads leading out of cities that are packed with cars. Traffic jams, people leaving their cars and never returning. Think of the cities and highways in The Walking Dead. So, how do you get your gas? You have to siphon it from other cars, but only a small fraction of these cars have gas in them, so it would take a long time to get enough gas for anything, and would add some pretty neat atmosphere. Not sure if something like this would work out, but an interesting thought nonetheless.

I play on a server that allows JSRS, it's great except for the fact that throwing tin cans causes the sound of an explosion for anyone with the mod.

Something tells me that this thread isn't going to be going anywhere

When I imagine bandits in the standalone, I imagine some wearing camo to keep hidden, but I also imagine some bandit clans wearing Fallout-esque armour and rampaging through the major cities, doing crazy bandit things.

What's wrong with hockey masks? Also 500 poooooooooooooosts

Clouds gathering before rain would be cool, but I think that's about as accurate as weather prediction in an apocalypse is going to get.

You should expect this to happen if you even mention consoles here.

To the people complaining, I don't have any problems with the inventory screen. I mean, it's a simple screen without any flashy nonsense going on. And as long as the gameplay is good I don't really care too much at all what it looks like.

They tested tracer rounds too, I believe, I don't think they worked either.

I think I would prefer to be in control of my character's own actions. And I don't think radiation would change your physical appearance much, I would probably just slowly kill you one way or another.

Maybe eating should take some more time, too? It doesn't have to be ten minutes or anything, but it should be a little longer. And the eating could be interrupted, too.

I think random weather patterns would be cool, and I'm gonna say no to the forecast system.

Nice job on the modelling. However, I don't think they should explode when shot, seems a little too arcade-y for me, plus the mythbusters already debunked this sort of thing. Explosives should do the trick, though.

I often find it hard to support ideas like this, because I feel like there wouldn't be enough of these kinds of items in this setting to warrant it being added to the game. It's like when someone suggests a really obscure and uncommon gun (like, the AA12 for example) just for the cool factor. The first items I want to see would be items more fitting in Chernarus.

This is a difficult subject, the skill system. It is inaccurate to say that all characters would start out equal physically, but I don't like the idea of becoming better at things just by doing them because it doesn't necessarily reflect how someone learns. I don't think there is a perfect solution right now, there's too many sides to this argument. I would love to see 'minigames' for any complex task that are difficult enough so that you couldn't be good at all of them, and you would naturally specialize giving us doctors, pilots, craftsmen, and a thousand things in between. But unfortunately, it's not really possible to put that much into a game right now. I do, however, support the idea of becoming better at physical tasks that don't require any skill (eg running or strength), as long as there are other factors in play, like diet and overall health affecting them.

Aren't we going to be able to customize our characters' features in the standalone?

I've been in a few helicopters of a first person only server, usually someone just gets out first to guide it to the ground. Although, we probably won't all have parachutes in the standalone, so that'll probably be a lot harder to do.

I guess they didn't have anything better to do?

Well, I'm sure a few police would survive, if anything.

Those are extreme cases, of course. Somebody with mild tourettes might just have urges to, say, blink their eyes a lot, and not uncontrollably. From what I've heard, the cases where people are always swearing are actually not that common. And how exactly would having OCD work in a game?

Oh, I've got another one: Will we be able to shoot out of vehicles?

I think that you have forgotten that this thread is nearly a year old. I'm sure there were newer threads regarding sniping you could have posted on, since we get a new one every day. And bullet drop is already in the game.

Um, who were you quoting there?
