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.

When have you ever pooped when you were "Asleep". A bowel movement happens when it happens. Errebody poops.

Weapons functionality hasn't changed, zombie health has. Their just generally more resilient to melee attacks now Stabbing weapons are your friend now due to versatility, which is nice, the machete actually has a bit of use, while the axe is still very effective for brute forcing it.

-Confirmed. -Confirmed. -No go. When you log off, you're considered asleep. -Obviously a WIP. -Confirmed, WIP. Same with zombie life cycle. (That's if they continue and deliver on their promises, have some fuckin' integrity DEAN) -Electric grid was discussed at length. It may or may not be possible in the future to light up certain areas of the grid. But with no human intervention, the system will shut down eventually. And we're pretty much passed that point in the world already, the infection has been goin' on for a while.

Copy/pasting my old post about this. I understand that it's a side effect, but god damn.. Actually. I don't say this very often buuuuuuuuuut... you and everyone else complaining just really, really suck. I even had to rant to my gaming buddy who I DayZ with and I had to tell him the very cold facts. He and everyone else bitchin' just plain sucks. Since the patch zombies are actually fun to fight. Not only that, having a precision weapon is a must (Bayonet, knife, ect) for indoor combat against zeds. The sheer accuracy of those weapons allows you to get a double strike on a zed. Allows even greater follow up strikes, so a quick 2-3 stabs to the head and the zed is dead baby. And those strikes can be executed in about 1 second, and with great accuracy. The axe is still king, you just need to aim higher and line the zed up where your going to bring the axe down (Learn the axes swing arc and just aim properly to drop the axe right into the top of their skull) and if it so happens, you beat the god damn zombie to death with it. They're fuckin' awesome now. Don't you ruin this with your complaining. I like this, it's nice, I want nice things. People complaining like this is why we can't have nice things.

Also, isn't cannibalization being introduced? Eating other people is okay, but not pooping! Pooping is bad!

Shit on players after you knock them out. This implies you can poop on command. It won't work that way. It will more than likely be a quick animation of you squatting and bam, you dropped a log. This also means that pooping will only be a side effect of eating way to much, and helps reduce the amount of people who try to spam eat to get healthy. It will be apart of the character care system. Just things you need to handle and actual things other than "GO TO MILITARY SPAWN, GET GUN, PEWPEW". But no, some peoples delicate sensibilities will be offended! We must call others who think differently than us names because we can not understand their line of thinking!

Oh really? Just because you don't understand something, you try to play it off. It's a fucking virtual representation of poop, it's not real, it has no ill-effect on you. This is all taking place in an artificial world. Most people can understand the difference between real life and portrayal. I sat through 2 girls 1 cup on a 50$ bet. Sat through the whole thing. It was fucking disgusting, but 50$ is 50$

Please for the love of god keep the system we have now. Please. It's perfect right now, they have a nice balanced approach to them. Precision weapons like a bayonet are no longer useless line up a quick jab and 1-2 or 3 headshots it goes down, and with their precision you can usually get 2 stabs in before you need to adjust your aim again. Axe still one shots to the head, it's just harder to score one because the axe does a arcing chop, which many people can't seem to realize means you now need to aim higher and put the head into the swing arcs downward path. Still easy as fuck. I've also managed to sneak up on a few and 1 shot them with both the axe and bayonet. All in all a good improvement, fix the AI and pathing and we got close to a finished zombie.

You act like their going to show you a video of a pulsating red anus excreting excrement. It's a fuckin' pop a squat animation with a little christmas present on the ground when your done. You can then use that poop for biological warfare if you so choose. I have no problem with pooping, I don't really see why you all do.

Then quit. If a virtual character has to do a 10 second animation where he's technically pooping, and you can't handle that for some strange reason, then by all means leave. There are no refunds they already have your money.

Now you're just grasping at straws. Ejaculation is an action for reproduction. Defecating and urinating is something we are all required to do to. It will serve as 2 other things you need to be aware of for your character. It's not like you'll need to poop or pee all the times. It would be the byproduct of eating and drinking. It's another layer of character care that we need to take care of, and it goes hand in hand with the disease system. Get Cholera? Well, have fun drinking and shittin' because that's all you'll really be doing.

Sadly, I know. I can dream that DayZ has some integrity, can't I?

But I do. So it seems like we're at a crossroads. Even if they add pooping, you'll still play. Just like everyone else. It doesn't matter all that much. It's a natural bodily function and should be apart of the game.

Pop a squat, 10 sec squat animation plays, bam done. You just pooped. Poop object on the ground if you truly want. Just because little kids will fuck around doesn't mean it doesn't have a place. Oh the humanity, someone pooped on my characters corpse, how will my fragile mind take the horror.

M4 is in game because of Chernarus history, the intervention of the USA. I don't mind these fancy new guns, but I want them to be rare, I should find 50 AK's before I ever find one of these, that kind of deal.

You guys seem awfully sensitive about pooping. If done tastefully, it's just another bodily concern you need to worry about such as eating and drinking. It will probably be a 10 second animation, at the most, and will have a multitude of uses in gameplay. It's also not like you will be able to poop on command.

Jesus, are you all just fucking terribad? This "BUG" I actually like. Takes some skill downing zeds now. Stabbing weapons are really fucking good now due to their precision with scoring headshots. Axe still kills in 1 hit if you get a head shot, it's really easy to do it if you can catch the zombies unaware, and if not, aim a bit higher and just fuckin' swing. Not like a little scuffle will ruin your day. All in all, I like this change and I hope it stays.
