Rocket took down the in-game chat for a reason. The same reason that third party voice over programs shouldn't work. But it's technically impossible to prevent them from being used, so it's a lost fight. Though I'd love the game to automatically detect voice on the mike and make your character use a premade "Mumbling" noise that's not speech. I sometimes go with guys on Mumble and it becomes sooo easy. It's so gamebreaking that it's sad.

It doesn't really fit the setting. After all, DayZ seems to be "Quite after the outbreak" and no living military presence. Though I would LOVE to have HMGs on a jeep to run and gun zeds. ou know, like those Pick-ups we always see in those African rebellions, where it's basically a pick-up, a pole, and an HMG glued to it.

And you probably have nice pink tinted glasses.

So do many other developpers...

An MMO can be an FPS yanno... Massively Multiplayer Online (Add type of game). It will be a MMOFPS. Look at Planetside for reference...

Due t the history ehind the editor of WarZ, I think it'll be a pay to Win. Otherwise, I might give it a try. Saying DayZ is the übergame and WarZ will be crap is rubbish, we don't even know the kind of features Rocket wants to add later in development. Side note: i don't really like the art right now from what we saw of WarZ. Seems a bit cartooney. but urban combat is interesting.

Maybe the 30% are part of the 90%? No miracle there, or did your brain not think about it? To be clear: 90% snipers are PKers / griefers. The 10 remaining % may just have that as their only weapon. 30% of the people with sniper rifles can easily be part of a team. They can either be fans of PK or just the only guy of the squad without sniper rifles. Whatever the case, if you spot a sniper, kill it. He/she won't ever let you live if he/she spots you.

To OP: If you see a sniper, there is a 90% chance it's a PKer. 30% chance that it's overwatch for a group on teamspeak. So it's logicla that sniper = Shoot on sight. Logging out though is lame.

Ah, so proud to be a dickhead. I think someone is having a boner, thinking that he's so good at being evil. The ecstasy of overpowering someone. But the truth is, in real life, you sad little whelp wouldn't even be able to hide your intention. You were probably jumping on your own chair saying "Ohboohboyohboy". It's one thing to kill an other player. It's being a clueless griefer with no goal in life to taunt him after killing him. I just wish someone left you with all your gear, far north, but no morphine, food, water, trembling from pain and a broken leg. And the guy who did this taunting you. But the thing is, I wouldn't even feel any compassion for a miserable attempt at life as you.

So, I was raiding the NE airfield alone, at night, with my nightvision goggles. From the hangars to the main building, just a few zeds, no problem, no one. Clear. I found a Kobra, go up the tower, a quick look around and going for the ladder... BANGBANGBANG. Bullets whizz around. Panick move, jump to the ground and waiting. I've been hit and I'm bleeding. I crawl inside, bandage myself up... And look all around. 360, nothing. Nothing going away, noting approaching... Around 15 minutes of camping owerwatch mode... I head out. Crawling, crouching, listening. Nothing. The only possibility is that idiot wasted bullets on me and, seeing he hadn't downed me in the first shot, couldn't handle the situation and disconnected! GROW SOME BALLS. I've had my heart pounding, and my life at 7.7K. I've stayed in the tower for a "long" time. Nothing happened.

Yeah, that's eventually what I've been thinking. A hopper that sees a target, but the area is "Hot" so he leaves. Well, i was still surprised to have someone raging/leaving while having the upper hand.

Well, If you want, i can even give two tents if you give the ammo with it. That way you can have a spare one... If it's a trap, all you'd get is a tent, a 1911, bandages, and some beans. Nothing worth it really.

I can trade one if you want. Just have to fix Six launcher and its wrong version first...

Same.

Nine teen eleven. Or as we say in france Dix-neuf cent onze (19 hundred 11, old fashioned way of counting with some strange occasional applications) A pistol with seven rounds (and therefor 7 bullets) in its (not it's) magazine (not clip) with acceptable accuracy, great power, and good rate of fire.

I have theorically no problem wit PvP. Or, more clearly, I'm against punishing for PvP. It is intended to be part of the experience. The fact that you can't trust eveybody. BUT currently, it is trust no one. Simple as that. When you notice someone, you roughly have a 90% chance to have him shoot you once he notices you because one or several of those: PvP player / shoots on sight as he's been killed several times / thinks it's pro to backstab / wants your loot. So either you avoid the area or kill him. You can't just approach him, and ask as you used to be able to. I'm against that fact that everyone but me will kill for sport or just annoyance of having been shot before. You just can't interact, find someone and even partially trust him/her. This occurence is so rare that it's not worth mentioning. There is no incentive for other types of gameplay. Loot is much easier to find on a dead body. You have a PK count. No healing / bandaging count. Noting to promote any other type of gameplay without a premade group. And yes, I really thing teamspeak and similars hurt the game a lot. As people can just speak in a secured fashion, they don't even need to interact with anyone out there.

A foliage-hack then.

Bump for awesome.

My current goal is finding an ATV for my lone night strolls (last one flipped over a goddamned rabbit) but I've joined a group rather recently and we do "roleplay" tactical night raids, like a band of bandits would. I think our next goal will be to walk through cherno then elktro as a "Bilogical hazard cleanup team". Not for the PVP aspec, but the whole "Empty the clips on all the friken zeds all around" sort of way, and too bad if a player is around.

To the one that say it's stupid to keep so many vehicles: With my very small group of people, we have 3 vehicles. One of them found and repaired, one that was picked close to a tent, and the last one stolen after shooting the pilot. We hid them well. For the three of those, we made efforts. Repairs, time searched, fighting. We use them frequently. We maintain them as to use them requires fuel. A lot of fuel as to hide them, we have to go far through offroad. They could be stolen any time. When we are logged off, or simply when we're moving them around. People could follow us and find our hiding places thanks to the motor sounds. Now, dare say we don't diserve to use them and should share for the common good, simply because you are annoyed that, as you never stay in the same server, you can't spot the habbits of its inhabitants. And if you do have the same serve all of the time, search better.

Pathetic AND highly profitable. I can see hwo they would do this: Use a group of 3 or 4 servers running older versions of the mod (so no one goes in those server but their groups), and server hop between each and every one of those in "Hotspots", and store the stuff in tents. When a player "Buys" an item, the seller just goes to an up to date server. Or simply using a hack that's undetected. It's pathetic. But when I see the number of cheaters in multiplayer videogames these days, I think they'll get their money back in no time. Gamers got what tey diserve...

Don't forget some duplication bugs... A friend of mine had all of the stuff that was on his character duplicated on the ground (including NVG) when opening a tent.

Have a look at helicopter crashsites. Good power and scopes. Though if you find one and are alone, loot it at night: Zeds tend to respawn a lot around them, so you get spotted too easily.

Found one. Drank it. Died an hour later.
