What should the DayZ motto be?
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to austendude's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Kill everything that's moving. It might be infected. Or carrying a can of beans or a weapon you'd like... -
Loot spawns should be coordinated with hive
CongressmanAlexShrub posted a topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
The problem: Too much high-end military hardware for being a zombie apocalypse. It ruins immersion. It makes no sense that every other survivor you meet has a military weapon, and it makes even less sense that a lot of players have special forces gear from the west (50 cal snipers, silenced carbines, UK thermal scopes etc etc) considering that we are in Chernarus. The solution: Make loot Hive-based instead of server-based. Check with the hive if it's ok to spawn for example a silenced M4. If thousands of players already have it as their primary, then it's maybe not a good idea to spawn it in the barracks since we are in fucking Chernarus. Thermal goggles? Sure. Check with hive. No, 20000 players already have it, we already have enough for the tiny stretch of land that is Chernarus, spawn AK74 instead. Rocket, are you reading this? -
I can't vote for my favorite primary, the M14. For some reason it's listed as a sniper rifle.. Anyway: Sidearm M1911 Primary M14 Sniper DMR For plentiful ammo and one shot kills.

Combat logging: Am I guilty or innocent?
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to Travis31's topic in New Player Discussion
You did nothing wrong. You suspected the enemy of using a different server to move behind you, which IMO is an exploit. It shouldn’t even be possible to login close to other players, it’s a broken feature of this mod. In my opinion disconnecting to avoid being killed by a cheater or exploiter is fair. -
The solution to Alt-F4
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to CongressmanAlexShrub's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Maybe make it so that the instigator couldn't disconnect then? Edit: Fuck it, just leave the body dangling for a minute after disconnecting and problem solved. -
The solution to Alt-F4
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to CongressmanAlexShrub's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Losing equipment because of death is not an axiom. There needs to be persistant progress in this game, otherwise people will find ways to save their temporary progress. -
Lets face it, people don't Alt-F4 because they don't want to die. They do it so that 1) They get to keep their gear 2) The little fucker who shot them doesn't get their gear They login on another server, bandage themselves, take painkillers and eat 10 steaks and are all set again. The little fucker that shot them hopefully aggroed a bunch of zombies and then also disconnected. The point is that you disconnect for a reason, and the reason is not that your character will die, it's that you'll lose your gear if you don't. The game is fucked up at this point because gear is what matters, not your "life". Make gear less important by making aiming harder and ammo less frequent. Until my gear ceases to be more important than my character's life I will keep disconnecting and keep relishing in the fact that my killer didn't get my precioussss gear.

DCing from snipers, snipers complaining.
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to Slyguy65's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Funny you say that because Rocket actually did say that it was very easy to patch out the deus ex machina by ALT+F4. Since he hasn't done it yet I can only conclude that it's either not important enough or that he wants to fix pvp before that. -

So the epitome of satisfaction in Day Z is directly proportional to that which you are complaining about? I can't remember ever having complained about snipers.. -

There's nothing more satisfying that denying your killer from getting your gear. -
Fully populated night servers / More NVGs
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to wordplayuk@gmail.com's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Remove the nuclear powered NVGs and replace them with realistic battery-powered ones. Imposing global bans on the ones duping equipment would also be nice. -
Footsteps should be louder
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to CongressmanAlexShrub's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
This was my request. Sorry if it didn't came through properly. -
Yesterday I crouch walked up the stairs in an air control tower. I think the ear showed two lines. When I reach the middle floor there's a guy there completely oblivious. Of course, now that I have found my calling (http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=22079), I shot him with two bursts in the back, but my point is that he should have heard me. Someone with big fucking boots should not be inaudible, especially indoors. Also, make running through bushes in the forest give off more sound...

I have seen the light: Time to kill random strangers!
CongressmanAlexShrub replied to CongressmanAlexShrub's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Last night I shot two other players in the back without even looking in their backpacks afterwards. One in a backyard in Dolina and one inside the supermarket in Polana. If either of you two read this: know that I did not take pleasure in your deaths, and I hope you take comfort in knowing that it was for the greater good. For great justice! -

I think I'm at day 20 now.. But I feel it is time to make the long journey down from the north to do my duty as an tester of this game. For great justice!
