Because I don't find VIRTUAL poop gross my mental stability is called into question? Sorry i'm not a little bitch and dont find things such as this incredibly detrimental to ones psyche. It's VIRTUAL POOP. IT'S NOT REAL. IT'S A SERIES OF 0's and 1's and modelled poop. But since that doesn't bother me i'm the fucked up one? Sorry my friend you seem to have the emotional problem.

See you at release!

You also act like i'm not heavily invested into a detailed combat system and medical. I'm more for that kind of shit than you are. This will be a gameplay element and I wholeheartedly welcome this system.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The same logic can be applied to your statement. It's the act in itself that is considered taboo. Yet murdering people is okay, even with lack of gore, you're still murdering people. But cop'in a squat for 30 seconds to poop is wrong. So very wrong.. -_-

Gross? That's "GROSS" to you? What are you, 12? Nothing gross about that. Like, lmao. What a bunch of prudes. You're playing murder simulator, where you can force feed people poison, blow their brains out, kill yourself via suicide animations, vomit and eventually get to EAT people. But a natural bodily function where you don't even see them semi nude is gross because the character cop'd a squat? The fuck is wrong with you people?

Suicide animations look great. The pooping one seems fine. It's not obscene and looks like it's working well. Das gewd. Now, get onto more pressing matters, weight/fatigue and medical system. Gogogogo.

Yay. People agree with me. Huzzah!

Please leave the zombies alone devs. They're fine health wise.

Learn to swing the axe, move around, sidestep and dodge really. The zombies are more fun now. Learn the axes swing arc so you can aim it properly and drop it onto their heads. Precision weapons like the machete knives bayonets ect are incredibly effective right now and allow quick follow up shots and are easier to aim with.

What I got out of this thread is that pooping is a sin in the magnitude of rape.

Weapons like axes have swing arcs, they don't hit where you aim them, then hit where their arc is you need to learn the feel for each weapon. Practice on zombies a bit to get a feel for it, or try to strike a wall, but getting you axe to go a half swing, then a full. For stabbing weapons they're all good, they go where you aim them, you might need to compensate for where they are moving too, but that's pretty much a given. The other issue is Desync really, that's being constantly improved.

The center cursor is an option. You can see it in the early devblog videos.

That's down the line. I can handle the glitchyness of the zombies right now, it's honestly not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I've been OHK by the zombies a few times, but that's because I was crouched and got double tapped by them angry fists of fury. Regarding the comment about it being unfair. DayZ has never been fair. Use the tools you got to the best of your abilities. Quite simply make do.

"He said he was OHK by a zombie that spawned right next to him and you tell him to stop crying in the fourms about the game being too hard. <_<" I've been OHK by zombies multiple times. It happens when you're crouched and they hit you in the head. It happens, it's intended. But I don't complain because it doesn't bother me. Regear and re-arm.

Oh, I could be trusted. The guy was going around the map picking up freshspawns with promises to go to the Airfield, he would land and make them get out then have his buddy kill them for lulz. I acted as a fresh spawn and killed him much to the enjoyment of the regulars on the server while he whined on side chat. I did as I pleased. I could be trusted most of the time, it just depended if I liked the persons attitude and if they were a regular on the server. I was a pretty common site alongside the other regulars on the server. A lot of them I never actually met, but we chatted and shot the shit. If I ended up killin' someone who I was cool with, I would return their gear.

You people can't really be serious. They zombies are still incredibly easy to deal with. I don't understand how you are all having such great trouble with them.

See, the problem is people expect an easy game, or cry to the forums when things don't go their way. DayZ was never about that, ever. It was about using the tools that you have to carve your own way through. It's all up to you. Learn from your mistakes, get better, Don't bitch about something, you ADAPT to it. You get better, you survive. I don't ever want DayZ to hold my hand. If it comes to being super easy mode and casual, that's when I'll quit, because DayZ will have lost its integrity. The game isn't supposed to be inherently fun. It's what you make of it. DayZ get it's inspiration from games like Nethack and Dwarf Fortress. (DF is one of my favourites, you should all check it out.) The motto is "LOSING IS FUN!" because you will lose, a lot. But you get better, you start to adapt, you learn. The fun is in the challenge, not the outcome.

So. I know this probably won't be added any time soon but I really wish they would add in the functionality of the bayonet and toss in a rifle butt animation. These should have been done and completed a long time ago. What's the point of adding in weapon such as the bayonet and make it attachable to a weapon if you were not going to even add functionality. I would take a placeholder animation at this point in time. Like, Arma 3 breaking point has it, hell even a few Arma 2 mods add that kind of functionality. So devs, this kind of feature would be super easy to implement even as a place holder and would make me and many other people very happy. Basically I want to stab zombies in the face with my SKS bayonet on the end of my rifle.. Please do dis for me, plz.

I can't possibly think of a reason other than they have forgotten. I don't see how it would break the engine. Like I stated, Arma 2 mods have bayonet attacks as does Arma 3 breaking point (It can't be that difficult to code) I would even take a placeholder version of it for now, that just does the animation and whatever is infront of you takes damage, even if it's minuscule. (It would help with the new zombies since precision quick attacks are the most effective way to deal with them now)

Then why can I not actually stab zombies and or freshspawns in the face with it? It makes me sad, it's already complete, but it's being withheld? Like, why? :/

Right now, there is absolutely no way to foster a community right now. I understand they want some anonymity but that just gives all the power to the arsehats. We need something to help develop a sense of community, even a little bit.

Only thing i'm really not concerned with authenticity about. Side-chat made a server feel alive and have a sort of community. I've actually made friends over side chat and grouped up. Now, if I did want to make new friend I have to meet them in person first, and that always ends in a shoot out because we didn't get to communicate first and get a feel for the kind of person they were. Like I had a dude pick me up in a plane, he landed it just outside electro. I shot him as soon as he got out and took it. Of course he bitched over side chat, but EVERYONE on the server laughed their ass off about it and it solidified my reputation on the server.

God I loved sidechat. The walkie is just not an effective means for it at this point in time. A limited voice range is fine, but like others have said a server wide text chat would go a long way. Genuine trolling and flame wars were so interesting to read while hunting for camps. Or reading 2 clans trash talking each other over it. Good times. It was also effective at gettin' help if you needed it, and everyone in the general vicinity to hunt you down. Side chat was fun is all im sayin'

Dis shit right here yo. Like word.

Precision weapons such as the screwdriver are much better now. I would ditch the screw driver and use a knife or bayonet, since they will do much more damage.
