That is not what I said, nor was it my point. You're assuming too much.. re-read what I wrote and dont over think it. ;)

I was thinking about that.. well the 2nd one Ive already discussed but pilots not being able to use them makes sense. But there should be one caveat. You cannot switch out of the pilot seat while in flight, only into it. So if your pilot gets shot, scroll wheel to "eject body" then scroll wheel to "switch to pilot seat." If the heli is going down, the pilot has no choice but to try to land it safely.. which in arma, dayz and take-on you can, with a little practice, even with no main engine you can survive the crash and in most cases even keep the heli intact.

Persistent containers. You save a backpack/tent/container with the RPG near the high pvp zone.. once you see a target that requires the use of a rocket propelled grenade you go and swap packs.. take out the target, and go back to swap again. Or you store it in your vehicle.. park once you are engaged. Take out RPG.. win. There is always a way around the things DayZ does to curtail certain playstyles. Its been that way since day 1.

You are not classified as that. My verbiage and opinions should not dictate the opinions of others. Its just my way of saying things thats all. I am KOS scum, you are carebear bambis. Its more simple that way. I play with an RP mindset too. I am part of the Chernarus Eradication Force. We are a small group of volunteers that got sent in alone with the task of killing each and every infected human within Chernarus. Our mission is to eradicate the infection at all costs, with the final task of killing ourselves before sending communication back to base that all is clear. This is the only certain way of containing the infection and possibly saving the rest of humanity. ;)

In your case, you did no wrong.. when the game goes bonkers no one can blame you for logging out, or trying to fix it by using the methods you did. But normally, the best thing to do is just leave your player there.. if the phone rings, or the baby cries. You dont log out. You just lay down and hope your guy stays safe until you can come back. Logging out during any form of combat or interaction, even with zeds is really just failing to play the game honestly if you ask me. But again, when the game forces your hand.. do not feel guilty.

You know in all actuality TWD shows the many aspects of DayZ players. Bandit/KOS groups intent on their own dominance. Carebear/Bambi groups just trying to survive.. Lonewolfs that eventually join a friendly group only to get killed by their carelessness. Theft, Kidnapping, rape, lying, deception, inner group tensions and rivalries.. its all in DayZ and TWD. All of it.

But can someone tell me what a survival game is exactly? Is there an actual example of an online survival game where players do not kill each other? Im just wondering what sort of draw a game like that would have for people.. I mean if you just take the concept of DayZ and made an entirely new game, that had extremely dangerous Zombies and animals, infections to fight off, most players die within an hour at most. The horror element would need to be quite high to scare people, and keep the adrenaline level up. Otherwise, eventually your skill would catch up to the game and the challenge would be gone and you would get bored of it quickly. Now take the DayZ mod. Its been alive for over 2 years now. There are players like me that have barely even stopped playing it the entire time. People that have logged 1,000's of hours on the game, continue to come back for more. Why? Not because the hunting and cooking is super fun.. because the pvp is extremely intense and the risks and rewards are quite high. DayZ is perfect the way it is.. the SA just needs time to finish up to get to where it should be. And it will eventually. A game where people can choose to escape the pvp, for as long as they are skilled enough to remain hidden. Others can go full force into the pvp arena..

All I have to say is: if you add in tanks, you have to add in satchel charges, IED, and RPG/LAW options for balance. Once you have done that, the game changes significantly. All it takes is dying one time to some asshat with a rocket launcher while you're pinned down in a building, to effectively lose your shit on the forums... and imagine how many people will do just that.

oh, you're 12. My bad.

Congrats, some never come to this inevitable conclusion. They somehow convince themselves that this is a survival game that is not based around pvp.

Congrats on playing the mod.. as for the rest.

Um.. that shows as a Ric Roll before you even cluckity cluck click it.

WaterworldZ i cant even look at this without laughing so hard I start to cry.. why is it so gdamn funny?

I was being literal with my first answer.. once they implement helis, vehicles, base building, persistent containers.. and change the spawns.. and players learn to pull their head out their arse and start exploring the map. We will have those epic battles at Devils again.. one of my favorite places to fight in dayz. Only better place imo is NWAF but Im biased so that does not really count.

You sort of need to relax man.. its just a conversation. And you're sort of completely missing the original point. Watch the videos.. you'll see why dayz had parachutes before and will again most likely. No one said they should spawn in helis until you did. So stop that talk.

No, I dont even know what snipe thing your talking about.. I thought of it while looking at the forum threads about the helis. The last time I flew in one in Dayz we had an epic battle and were air lifting players into battle, and then we would parachute out over the NWAF and straight into combat. I want that experience again, and was thinking about it.. and then I thought of separate chutes and how the SA is sort of going in those directions anyhow so it made sense. Then I realized I could easily hangglide or paraglide off of the top of Klen Mtn. just south of the NEAF. Or devils castle.. or the cliffs over Svetlo.. so many places that you could do it and just the amount of lead that would be slung your way from the ground pounding bandits would be worth it even if you died a swift death whilst drifting softly over Chernarus. ;)

It can be fixed easily in most cases by highlighting and selecting default color text. Not every type is fixed this way though and some require more effort. fyi..

A parachute could take the place of your chest holster/vest.. giving you the ability to still retain your backpack. This could be a good balance as to not piss everyone off that has to parachute and leave their pack behind.. better idea. ;) Also down the road with persistent packs, it could either way.. set it down, save it for later.. go parachuting. Etc.

Pretty epic use of ctrl c-ctrl v. B)

lol.. Im sorry but that was funny man. Look up. Serious. You can only use them standing. And by default when you pull them out you are staring at your feet. This combats going back and forth quickly from bino to weapon.. and people would abuse the hell out of that so its good the devs thought of it first if thats even what happened ;). Shows insight, or a lack of in the case of bugs. So to summarize all you have to do is pan up, or look up/lift your fists and you will see the vast distance that is Chernarus.

Since the vegetarians have brought up killing your own meat.. how many of you harvest your own veggies and/or soy products? As far as this whole argument has turned out.. Is it not just as ignorant to think it wrong either way? I mean food is food. If you feel that plants are living things and so you dont eat veggies, great. Same for meat. If you want to live off of vitamins and water, go for it. But dont think that your choice is better and then ask to not be judged.

Same distance as an LRS. So its balanced well..

I would have shot his knee cap off a long time ago, and if he kept it up.. I'd cut his tongue out.
