  1. As far as the condition system is, only weapons are affected by being ruined in terms of accuracy and sights. But clothing, food and other items aren't affected. As far as it goes, a Ruined item practically means it's now worthless; in that case misc items should reflect that. Some examples of this are: - Ruined Backpack should have much less slots than pristine, if not any. - Ruined clothing should impair movement - Ruined cans and bottles should have a very little amount of content when opened, like 10% or 5% - Ruined tools should be very inefficient/unusable And so for the rest Also this should be gradual for each condition step. Thoughts?

    Point me to where I said I was whining because I got KoS'd... Stop looking for excuses for being a dick.

    Turn on post processing

    I feel stupid, what is happening in both the vid and OP? What is post processing?

    Suggestion - disable VOIP during gameplay

    Cool, want a cookie?

    I would love to see a bow and arrow in this game

    Combat knife is coming, check one of the threads on 1st page I think
  8. I would like this idea altho maybe it wouldnt fit with the "story"? Zombies are infected people, so maybe the survivors are immune?
  9. Title says it This is as to make zombies more of a challenge. Zombies are basically walking corpses that don't bleed, starve or get infected wounds, so killing them should reflect that. This is as to make zombies more similar to those found in say, The Walking Dead. An extension of this could be that killing them would be easier with headshots but dramatically hard with regular body shots and practically impossible with limb shots. However, if this is implemented speed and reaction should be tweaked with severely, maybe making them Night of the Living Dead-esque. As we have them right now, Zombies are those taken from Left 4 Dead, very fast but extremely weak, and there aren't even that many of them. Thoughts?

    KoS is not part of the game, it IS the game.

    At first I thought this was a thread about KoS in a positive way
  13. WarZ sucks, no surprise there. However how would a balanced spawn timer sound? Obviously not 4 fucking hours, but something as low as 15 mins?
  14. andrestor

    What the fucking shit?!

    This has happened repeatedly if you can find out how to repeat it it would make fixing it much easier.

    Zombies should have MUCH more HP than humans

    Hadn't thought about that kind of infected but in that case what would make them weaker to regular attacks?

    Pen and paper - suicide notes

    I have personally never found paper, just a bunch of pens
  17. NOTE: I'm not sure if this thread was already posted, but it isn't appearing so I think my phone glitched out, if this is a repost delete this thread, please I didn't buy a sandbox GTA, I bought a survival game, I'm not playing a game to be grieved on. I never played the mod but I was very interested in it until I noticed the SA came out, nevertheless the PEOPLE'S attitude is what is ruining it for me, I think what's most disappointing is that a lot of griefers are proud of what they do. I'm out for now might come back later if things change. Enjoy being assholes for the time being Inb4 OP got killed: no I haven't in my latest and longest life but seeing as though people are getting more and more dickish it's probably for the better that I lay off for a while. I'm not in favor of KoSing for the lame excuse of preventive self defense
  18. I'm new to this game, didnt play the mod but watched some vids. This is about my 5th life. So I spawned at Balota, right next to the airfield, I started looting the houses without many issues then I see what appears to be a military base, so I'm like "yay, a chance for loot" I go inside, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside; I loot the first few buildings for an M4 w/o mag, a mountain backpack (35 slots), an axe and some ammo. Some people appear, friendly enough, we part ways and suddenly one tries to handcuff me, I down him with the ace and a new spawn appears, also friendly. We chat for a while and part ways; but when looting the control tower he comes at me telling me to help him since he is being punched but some dude. So I help him, axe comes out and turns out the puncher had an armed friend hidden in the hangar. A zombie is behind him. I decide to take a run behind a small building there while he is firing at the man that asked me for help, he ends up dead. I notice the zombie comes up behind him and attacks him while he is not looking so I charge; he seems to be glitching but I take him out. His friend is trying to kill me with an axe as well, I dont have any guns so it's an axe duel against him. I kill him without taking a hit, fortunately. At this point I am absolutely shaken, I'm shivering, but decide to loot the guy with the gun. He uses a military helmet and a pistol that takes .45 ACP rounds, I have 30 in my pocket. New spawns come in, I tell them to back off. I am trying to reload the pistol but I didn't know how, while I'm figuring it out, I hear what seems to be shots and ricochets. I panic, get inside one of the small buildings still trying to reload the pistol. I figure it out but I still hear shots. I yell at the mic that someones shooting and the spawns tell me no one is firing. I don't believe them. At some point I stop hearing them so I beeline into the forest, my hands are cold and I'm scared, I get paranoid: my backpack is blue so maybe they'll spot me. I have no idea where to go, the town next to the airfield (the one with the big buildings) is probably full of bandits or people with guns so I dont feel like going there. I decide to go one more time into the control tower and see if I can find a mag for the M4 (more on that later), but I'm still terrified. I decide I want to get away from any urban zone and somehow end up in the houses between Balota and Chernogorsk, I enter a house and log out; I don't know what to do now. How should I play it from now on? Paranoid like or friendly? Needless to say I dont KoS, I just tell to stop and ask if friendly, haven't met anyone with guns so don't know what to do. Should I move inside the forests or on the roads? I feel like having the mag less M4 or the military helmet is bad mojo since they are rather prized, thinking maybe I should ditch them. This has been my most interesting life and I friggin love this game thanks to how it went down. PS: About my trip to the control tower: When I go inside there seems to be a new spawn idle in there, I say Hi but he doesn't answer so I move upstairs. When I'm on the top floor I hear him responding but, since I'm still shook out, I pull out the pistol and tell him to freeze, then I calm down since he doesnt have anything and we chat for a while. I give him an extra pistol I find and we part ways. This is the time I'm thinking where to go, and I try to pull out a map from the steam interface, but not before hiding in a small shed in the far end of the airstrip. While trying to find myself I hear someone on the mic, I pull out the pistol and lean out to see what is happening, apparently some Douche bag is chasing and taunting the dude I met at the control tower, trying to kill him. I decide to take him out but the pistol isn't firing; when I press tab it does say the mag is full and it is reloaded so any notes on what could be the problem? This is the longest thread I've written :P

    This is not what I hoped DayZ would be

    FYI I haven't died since I made that thread, in fact there have been more interesting stories after that episode but my point is that things are taking a turn for the worst in the community ever since You definitely don't know my play style and my way to approach buildings and towns so there goes your assumptions

    This is not what I hoped DayZ would be

    There's a big difference between PvP and being a douchebag, there are even douchebags in PvE games, like assholes in Killing Floor that don't know anything about team work

    > Implying the people's behavior depends on an Alpha That's like saying playing DayZ alpha will make you a dick IRL and the full release will make you a saint Let me know when your brain comes out of the Beta! ;)

    Well said, I hope that will be the case
