I yield! I yield! I think this is great. Now we have to rummage through all kinds of crap to get to our... Heatpacks and Makarov ammo?

Won't be necessary, nature is my potty now!

Sneak.

It's not a bug, it is banned. Check the list for yourself: https://github.com/R...anim/config.cpp

You are the one who choose to reply to the 'fuck-off-you-suck' type of posts, instead of having a debate with those of us who don't respond to you like that. For instance, you ignored the questions I asked you here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/125579-new-spawn-storeperk-system/#entry1203831 My guess, you like to argue more than to discuss.

The G36SD is banned in the newest patch, if the server you play on have it added anyway it might not work as intended.

Hopefully there won't be added a 'chat' to the standalone. That would suck.

It would be really hard though, to come up with a good ingame explanation for why you couldn't touch a specific can of beans/makarov/lovedoll/magazine. I don't think looting ones own corpse is enough of a problem to implement something arbitrary like that.

You dear, dear man. Not like some. Hmmf.

I do realise this, but I don't understand why you bring it up. What is your point? Death is meaningless for someone who's using a lootmap, I don't think this is intentional. Why have it then, what is the point of 'luxury' in a supposedly harsh, cruel permadeath game?

I think death should have more of an impact, not less. The whole 'Death is final and harsh' deal is really important to the experience it think, crucial even.

Are you trying to get me in trouble Mr. Contraception?

But... I can't listen either... How about a quick breakdown of news? Anyone? Little help?

ArrgHh... 23 minutes of video and I can't watch it from here!

Well, we don't know whether it'll be on command or not, in fact we know next to nothing. 'Suddenly having to poop' is a fairly normal occurrence when one is sick, by the way If you want the shit changed to vomit for 'cosmetic' reasons, then it is as Talibambi put it: Not liking shit is perfectly okay, but the fact that you don't shouldn't stop a perfectly good mechanic of making it to the standalone.

It isn't. It's going to be part of an infection mechanic that'll be an important aspect of gameplay. It isn't 'shitting for shitting's sake', or 'realism for realism's sake'. It's not about shit, it's about infection and how to deal with it.

I don't think anyone would play for very long if they didn't like the gameplay, DayZ is a bit of a 'Marmite game'. It would just mean a lot more money for the devs and maybe a minor passing inconvenience. As for what the 'gaming community' would think... Why should we care?

It doesn't matter. Dayz is special because it doesn't play like a mainstream game, let it stay that way. If the developers start basing their decisions on what US media thinks about this or that, then we won't have nice things anymore. I also think US sales account for a lot less than EU/AU/Asia. Not that this should affect gameplay decisions either.

The US media can say what they want, it won't affect a Czech company. Furthermore, the standalone will be published on Steam, so you can all happily play with the rest of us regardless of what Fox thinks.

That guy? That guy doesn't matter, he is not going to change the way I play and enjoy the game one iota. He is just some random guy. Why should I, or anyone, care if he gets his thrills putting a pixelated turd on a corpse on some random server? It doesn't matter unless you let it. I think this might be because people are unaware of the whole infection deal that'll be part of the standalone. Rocket has even said that diseases will possibly play a more important part than the zombies. People hear about the crapping animation and think "that's it, that's the whole mechanic". Last thing: Why is faeces such a big deal? Why do people think the media will go ape over it? I can't imagine anybody batting an eyelid where I live (eu).

Give him a break, he might be feeling a little flushed.

Yes, you'll have to think about where you crap if you are in a camp for example. Same thing in real life. Agreeing on where to empty your bowels form the very basis of human society, it simply cannot function without this. Maybe I'm biased due to being a health professional, but I had no idea that defecation was this much of a taboo. Methinks someone were not allowed to look in the potty when they were wee.

I don't know where people got the idea that players will be able to produce unlimited amounts of shit and that said shit will stay indefinitely. Given Rocket's wish to keep things authentic, we will probably only be able to shit every so often, and the shit will get deleted from the server eventually.

I disagree, I think it is exactly the game to pull it off in a meaningful way. Believe it or not, there are people out there who do not behave like 12 year olds. It's all about finding the right server. With the largely expanded disease mechanics in the standalone it's a necessity to have a way for diseases to spread, defecation is a good and authentic approach to this in my opinion. Just try to see past the 'omg-poo!' part, and take it for what it is. A normal bodily function, the management of which is of extreme importance to any society on the planet. Big and small, apocalyptic or not. Have you seen a city with no sewer system? Not pretty.

Could you post a video in which you are jumping backwards?
