    Headbutt while handcuffed

    But the thing is how many people are going to know that? The typical person would just end up hurting themselves. Also, the guy who made that video was using his hands as well, but in the situation that Blackie4 presented, you wouldn't be able to use your hands. Important thing to remember is in DayZ you aren't supposed to be some former soldier or anything of the sort, just your average Joe. How to headbutt properly isn't common knowledge.

    Headbutt while handcuffed

    To be honest here, even if it were to be added, it wouldn't do much damage. Smashing your forehead into someone is A) Going to hurt like a motherfucker (Have you tried headbutting someone, really and truly?) and B) Extremely impractical. You're just going to be smashing your own head into someone else's, and they'll what? Be even more ticked at you than before. Barely anyone would drop unconscious from that, and if you put enough force to drop them, why aren't you going to?

    Respawn far away from your death location

    I feel like the odds of that happening usually is pretty slim, and that minor chance it will happen shouldn't tip us into the spawning system we have already, because it's a pretty solid system already.

    Should I shoot?

    Did you shoot?
  5. This is precisely what me and my pals have run into time and time again. And it's not even a general degradation, it's a fine line where the frames dive. Move forward a foot, you're in the lag, step back out it's back to normal. Sadly, not gonna say where I found mine, because it's too close to where my camp is located.

    I'm on the opposite side of that spectrum, I couldn't give a damn about more military guns. We need more variety in the 'civilian arsenal'. It's a survival game, so those military guns should be a lot fewer than the civilian, and much harder to grab (Because let's face it, you can get decked out completely in less than a day) However, based off my limited knowledge of guns here, I wouldn't see the point in THIS particular one. It, as blackberrygoo said, is practically a replica (As far as I can tell, prove me if I'm wrong)

    [Opinion] The Value of Base Building?

    If anyone has played Life is Feudal, which by the way is an excellent game, that's how I'd like to see base building in DayZ, at least in reference to the effort and value of the base. For those of you who haven't tried LiF out, the game plays extremely slow, and is reliant on having a group to be successful. -Base building should be a huge pain in the ass to do, but the reward would be tremendous. (In LiF you could build for months irl and still not have the biggest baddest base possible) -You shouldn't be able to build entire colonies/cities. Why would you even want to, when the towns from before the shitstorm are still standing strong (Not considering cases in which planes hit, y'all get me) They should be be smaller camps, basically what was shown in the concept art. -Loot would have to be way more scarce, as said before, otherwise you can just wander all the time and not worry about a thing -Threats, we need more of them, whether they be zombies, wild animals, sickness, or the uninfected asshat with a gun. -I cannot stress this one enough, which is why I'm repeating myself, it NEEDS TO TAKE TIME. If you can build a base in a day, hell if you can build one in w eek (When you're solo), then it's too easy. For anything larger than a tent and campfire, you should need a team of people, or a lot of patience. (And if you play solo and want to complain about that being unfair, you're not forced to build a base) All in all I want base building, but before that pleasure, I want it to get tough, we need more threats in our lil ole world of DayZ, and we just need less stuff. Loot needs to practically go away for the most part, as dramatic as that sounds.

    Before we lose DX9. Playing DayZ on a Chromebook.

    This may just be my mind tricking me just because of hopes, but in the video posted showing of DX11, to me seemed to run quite a bit smoother. This was also in the hype of the announcement, so I could be mistaken.

    "Dayz needs to be scarier"

    Oh lord, this again. The whole 1PP/3PP debate has been going on since the dawn of DayZ, and it isn't changing, for better or for worse. Arguments for keeping it how it is are... -You don't have to play in 3PP if you don't want -We want to see our characters (And the inventory screen doesn't do it justice) -Play on 1PP only servers if you're worried about wall/corner peeking -This has been proposed and shut down numerous times, what makes this time any different. Now don't get me wrong, I couldn't give a damn however this goes. In my experience, I prefer to play 1PP, however my friends don't, so we usually play on 1PP/3PP servers, and why the hell should we take that away from them? No point in fixing something that aint broken. Oh and would you mind telling me how it's "toxic to the atmosphere?"

    Vehicle Flipping

    Didnt know this actually, thanks for the heads up!

    Vehicle Flipping

    Is this sarcasm, cause I mean I can flip an entire tank trailer with my pinky, so I don't know what you're getting at here.

    A Stream of Snipers

    Big issue I have there, my friends scatter at the first hint of danger, while Im stupid enough to stay and fight alone xD

    A Stream of Snipers

    Very nicely done. Wish I could shoot like that xD

    Suicide - add safety measure

    But don't you have to actually press the mouse down to pull the trigger? You should notice yourself going into the suicide animation, just keep your hands off the mouse at that point. Unless I'm wrong, I don't think it's honestly anyone's fault but your own, not to be rude.

    Headaches and DayZ

    I get headaches, but that's pretty much from any game after playing for hours

    Do Infected know it's Christmas!?

    Considering the Trees they put and the bears they stuffed for us last year, my guess is they are well aware of the holiday season.

    sedan drives like its on ice.

    This may be completely wrong, and may just as likely be a stupid question, but have you shifted gears? xD That might be it, maybe (Assuming you didn't know about it being manual)

    Change the texture on a black shirt

    Honestly it should be the other way around, nothing should be perfectly clean at this point

    Guessing .60!

    I don't even have an idea of what I would like to see, as I can't even fathom the thought of .60 right now. I'm still basking in the glory that is .59

    So I Found An Offroad...

    So, I've been on the hunt for one of the new vehicles in .59 Exp, and while travelling through the woods, I saw one hidden off in the distance. I was super siked, and sprinted for it. i get to it, and it had all the required parts, but alas, I couldn't enter the vehicle for I had just moments before switched over to the old ui again. So, I logged out, switched back to the newui, and tried to log back into the server by clicking play... It got full. So I spend the next 20 minutes trying to find the server I was just on, and I finally, after so much anger and annoyance, find the server. I load in, and hear someone hitting metal, so I'm kind of freaked out. I'm stuck in the darkness because of the horrid amount of time it actually takes to load in, fearing that I'm going to be killed while loading in. So after a minute of finally gaining vision, I see four people sitting there DESTROYING the vehicle, beating the living hell out of it. So here I am, ticked as hell, getting so close, but thanks to the fact that you cant do jack shit without the newui in Exp, and the horrid History list in the server browser, am having to start from ground 0 again. Needless to say, I just logged off, and am ranting here. (No, I'm not saying the game is broken, nor am I suggesting anything, this is just a story, and I know things will be fixed in time)

    So I Found An Offroad...

    It was parked in the middle of the woods, I don't remember if it was actually next to a tree or not though, I only assumed it was because of the UI. And thanks for the tip! Even though I did have a PM73 RAK, I didn't have the mag, only a single bullet chambered. And I was not going to go against the odds just because some very unkindly gentlemen were going about ruining my day. Thanks!

    NewUi Icons, How Do They Work?

    So I'm trying out the newui (in .59 Exp) for the FPS increase (And holy mother of god is it beautiful), and noticed the new icons down in the bottom right hand corner. I played for a little while, without being able to tell any change in the icons. So, my question is, how do they work? What tells me if I'm hungry, thirsty, bleeding, cold, hot, etc. Will they change colors, will the "meters" (The filling inside) rise or drop? Am I just being hopeful and do they not function as of yet? Any help is appreciated. (Oh and I did try and search this beforehand, but if I missed something that answers this, my apologies, but just hand over a link and all is dandy)
