I'd just leave and find a better server, if the Admin spawns shit for his friends, what else is he gonna do? Asshole could probably even get you a global ban by saying YOU hacked the vehicle and modding his logs to submit to BE. I lost a good server once because of an asshat admin, this one asshole shot me when I went to help him then started bragging about his AS50 TWS, everyone asked how he got that and said 'heh, its good to be friends with the admin' which was followed literally a second later by Banned by Admin (only made the server better in my opinion). Then a couple days later, someone who was made an admin less than 12 hours prior had unbanned the douche bag and gave some piss ass excuse about 'hes my buddy, he said once he dies he wont pick the gun back up again, dont be butthurt bro' Im on Balota Buddies now, might be full of bandits and snipers but at least I don't have to worry about hackers or 'players with perks'.

I'm conflicted, adding a visible suicide animation to the game would probably get a lot of the Censors fully erect and get the Banhammer to fall on SA in several countries. But I would like the option in. I'm in agreement with many that there are no bad spawns in DayZ, but far to many people feed themselves to zombies simply because they spawned far from where all their 'epic loot' is or for some reason or another don't like Kamenka. If they do add it it should be as grisly as possible, it should mentally scar the player seeing his little avatar put a makarov to his skull, sticking the barrel of his AK into his mouth and taking his boot off so he can pull the trigger with his toe, hesitating as s/he drags the hunting knife across their arm/throat. The player should fear having to kill themselves, not just 'meh, fucking kamenka *BLAM* FUCK Kamenka Again! *slice* Great, the WEST side of Kamenka! *BLAM* The Suicide option should only be available if you have a gun or knife (and at least one bullet) or even a grenade (though you could do that now technically...).

Been suggested many times before, (dont have a link but one topic in particualr was very well done that included fishing and hunting) ON a slightly off topic note, You just reminded me of a trailer I saw (and cant unsee) for a Japanese horror movie that played at last years Hawaii International Film Festival that involved Evil Sushi or some variation of that idea. I will NOT be providing a link or any further information on this movie (you can thank me for that if you wish)

While yes, it doesn't make much sense that nearly all the cars in Chenarus were destroyed, keep in mind this is a mod of a game, so they had to work with the limited tools the game had, and if they had a say 10 working/repairable cars in each village they would lose their value quickly. While it would be nice if more cars were in repairable condition normally, remember Chenarus is a ex Soviet backwater. I mean for god's sake, its railway is a signal track mainline with no Yard other than a few industrial hubs and ends as a branch line in Berezino rather than carry onto (what I assume) is the bordering country to the north east.

Sounds like you need a new server.

Well if thats the case then I'm definitely all for having dots permenatly removed now. I thought it was just a pain in the ass when it was just vehicles that you could see, seeing a player's dot while going 200mph in a huey is just totally unfair.

I thought you couldn't see players with dots before they removed them? Unless they were in a vehicle.

He is talking about purchasing the Standalone. I would imagine he probably bought a physical copy of Arma2 and OA from a store.

I'm kinda sad to see the dots go, but do think they do need to go. When I can spot a vehicle or animal from the other side of a mountain it kinda makes it too powerful. And don't tell me that its not precise I can track an animal much more easily just by turning my head to the side and lining up my body with the dot. And as I said before, the range is a bit too far, from the other side of a mountain I can see dots all over and their aprox distance.

you can change your face/skin color now, just need to go into your profile and choose your face.

You could probably make at least 20 molotovs with one jerrycan (think most whisky bottles is 750mL, jerry can is 20L, so probably even more than 20 molotovs)

It wont be like that at all, were all immune, the zombies aren't really dead so much as rabid, which is why two shots to the chest with an assault rifle will take most down.

I don't think we should harvest things as much as scavenge them, there's piles and piles of lumber at different lumber mills around the map. Would be NICE if we could get a lumber mill or some industrial building up and running so we could produce items, but honestly, most smelting operations now a days are HEAVILY energy demanding and demand a large team effort to get up and running let alone keep it running. Small scale stuff would be alright (like melting lead over a campfire, my grandpa, dad, and uncles used to do it all the time, collect a bunch of old fishing wights and melt them down in the backyard to make new fishing weights or into ingots to sell for scrap, dangerous as fuck form what hes told me ((some of the weights were hollow inside and would explode in the melting pot, said he almost got hot molten lead in his face if it wasn't for a piece of plywood as a shield)) ). Breaking down ammo to reload other shells (within reason, cant just break down a bunch of 9mm makarov to make .50 BMG, but refitting that 9mm mak to 9mm nato would be doable) would be a good idea.

Great Idea, I use road signs all the time when I don't have a GPS, espically when I'm driving. I know what most of the signs say, but only because I've used DayZ DB's map a lot. They list both the Cyrillic and English lettering for towns, whereas the in game map only shows it in English. Doesn't mean I can speak/read Russian now, because I come across other signs all the time and wonder what they say (guess at things like 'camp site ahead' or 'scenic outlook') I think books/readables in general would be a good thing to add. Would be one way for players to find out what crafting recipes are in game, as well as point players to different scenes (find a note at NWA in Russian with coordinates in them, get there and there's a military UAZ and a shack with some guns in it and a few dead military bodies)

Not sure what your local options are, but if you have a Gamestop (okay thats a no go then) (I think its overseas equivilant is EB Games, not sure) or a Best Buy your golden, just need to buy a couple of Steam Wallet Codes using cash.Another option would be if Green Dot cards or other reloadable debit/credit cards are available in your country you could buy one of thous, put some money on it and buy Steam Funds with that when Standalone comes out. (I think its going to be about $20USD when it first comes out, to be safe I'd put $40USD on the card. If that fails you could always try asking your father again nicely and with money in hand and explain why you want the game so bad.

You Sir have ALL my beans. For not only an Epic kill, but for your target. I will try not to be butthurt if/when I am killed by you.

Crafting and weapons customizeation has been confirmed in stand alone, as for farming... uh... I'm gonna say no but do think we should be able to maybe have small gardens or be able to gather produce from fruit trees and vegi gardens in villages as a source of food. Not quite sure what your wanting with the zombies, you want them to run faster than they already do? They can catch us if we're not careful (had a swarm on me once and ran into a yard that was fully enclosed other than the small gate I went through, was trapped and unarmed)

Something along these lines. There should be no 'background' or selection thing at start. It should be blank slate for everyone when they start (I kinda think/wish 'skills' would be persistent after death but can see why they wouldn't want to have it like that) The skills would be 'hidden', you wouldn't know you leveled something up, no bright circle of lights and bells ringing. The only way you might notice a 'level up' would be say you start a fire faster, bandage yourself or others more quickly, change a tire faster, ect. If 'skills' are persistent maybe have it so things 'unlock', for example, a brand new player, if given a toolbox, parts, and a broken helicopter, would only be skilled enough to replace the glass, or only be able to partly repair things like the main rotor to maybe yellow condition. (A player could replace tires and glass at first, and only partly be able to repair the hull/door/however the system is, and the more and more they do repairs ((even ineffective repairs)) they more effective their repairs become and the faster they do them. If it were up to me the skills would be: Medical (Perform actions faster, unlock more complex maneuvers (setting bones, splinting legs, blood transfusions, able to give 'proper' dosages for meds), Vehicle Maintenance (Perform repairs faster, repairs more effective), Weapon Maintenance (able to clean weapons faster, do repairs with less parts/jury rigging, repairs last longer, less jamming, clearing jams faster), Construction (perform some actions faster, able to do more complex constructions/building repairs, use less materials ((for certain things))), Melee/Strength (melee attacks hit harder/faster), Survivalist (able to gut animals quicker, yield a little more meat, if they add things like hides and skins as items, able to get more/better quality animal resources, able to start fires without matches ((at some point)) able to build traps, ect), Crafting (able to craft things faster/less resources, would NOT unlock more recipes ((I believe Rocket wanted players to be able to craft anything as soon as they discovered it, don't have a link to back it up though)). I don't think weapons handling/shooting/accuracy should be a 'level-able' skill (I could be convinced otherwise, but don't think that you should automatically get some kind of accuracy boost or magically be able to do more damage with the same gun just because you shoot a lot). Maybe if they want to be a little more realistic have a 'Fitness' skill to do with running (not saying I want this), the more you run/sprint the longer you can go without being winded (for example) *Edit* Forgot Survivalist and Crafting skills, see above

EDIT Misread, didn't see Online Freeroam.

You would indeed, brother.

Wouldn't be too hard since their bringing in the system from TOH. We kinda already have light medium and heavy in the mod (littlebird, huey, mi17, though the mi17 could be considered medium-heavy). Someone mentioned in another thread the Bell 47. But yes if they are heavy they need to be cargo/transport only.

They do sell kits for home build aircraft. Would make a little bit more sense than Hueys everywhere or just military craft. Not to mention the 'back yard' contraptions that were probably designed under the influence of vodka.

This would be kinda interesting but think it should be on the back burner/low priority for now. I haven't been back to Star Trek Online in a while but one of the most requested things was adding poker tables to player's ships. Card games would be kinda cool for time waster's basically play a hand or two while waiting for the Ural to get back so you and your group can raid. The Target practice thing is something they could do now (at least with crossbow) maybe if they add a better bullet 'decal' system so you can actually see where your shot lands. Have an option to set up cans on a fence and practice. Rock skipping (i think) is the phrase your looking for.

In before Graveyard! Fucking spammers.
