No, no. no! The idea behind games like these is that you have to be cautious, that you have to think, that you have to be smart. We don't want a game that goes "You need to drink now. Press "3" to drink." We don't like that. It's up to the user to pay attention to these things. -
You're the man! :D The tougher the better. CoD kiddies go away, we no like you here! :P

Yeah, but I don't want red text popping up all the time. I'd make dayZ look like a cheap bill board :( What's wrong with checking in your inventory? You have to open it to eat/drink anyways! -
Licking it, eh? fuck yes! but make a small chance for something bad to happen. Like food poisoning or something like that!

What are you smoking man? EDIT : Seems like good shit, mind sharing?

Meh.... I like it beeing grayish white. Colours would break the immersion for me. I just want the last message of each category (food, dring health/stamina) to be shown in the inventory screen (in white) :P -
No tents yet, as far as I know. You have to put the coocker on the floor, go to it, light it and then I don't know, never had a pot and a stove at the same time :D

I too am guilty of this :D -

Finally someone who likes the texts system! Brother! -
@katana, I'll bean you later for the detailled research. We have different aproaches here. I'm working with the following scenario : A guy walks in the wilderness. Said guy gets shot/wounded by a bullet. He will die. Even if he got to a working EMT/Hospital within 3 minutes, most of the cases he will just die. As the guy above me said. If I were to shoot you in the lungs IRL, you would die. A .22 would kill you as much as a .50 That's unarguable imho. (.22 might be painfuller though ;) )
-
No. All guns are one shot kill if a vital organ is hit. If they only hit your extremities and cause flesh wounds you take basically the same amount of damage anyways. The only difference in calibers is on wether you can acctually hit your target at all / penetrate his armor. A .45 wont hit that guy with a type three body armor at 60 meters. A 7.62 will.
-
Sure, the 7.62 makes a visible bloody mess (literally) and the .22 doesn't but the results are the same. You die. Wether it's the .22 going through you or the .308 is a difference in gore and time it takes to die. ( 2 min for the 308, 30 for the .22) EDIT : That picture you posted sorta prooves my point. Look at the damage profile. All of these different calibers are the same when it comes to lethality. The only differ in lethality, or "efficiency" at longer ranges or against armor. If you shoot an unarmed guy from 10 meters distance he will die (assuming you hit well), no matter if it's a .50 or a .16 (yes, .16 exists ;) )
-
No, why?! Trust me it doesn't matter what caliber! what matters is where you hit, what armor the person is wearing (if any) and how far the bullet travells. If the bullet can go all they way to you, go right though the body armour and still has energy to enter your body at a crucial spot YOU WILL DIE. Obviously a .45 should be stopable by armor and some space, a 5.56 by armor plus lot's of distance and a 7.62 by armor plus atleast one kilometer of flight. I think damage should be more or less caliber unspecific. Calibers should start mattering when you shoot at distance and/or armored targets. Not damage wise.
-
Agreed. Keep gun's "authentic" One or two shot's to the torso and you're history. Just be more aware of your suroundings next time :) Edit : @ Katana, what do you mean with "Balance does not mean something cannot be realistic"? Take two to four .45's to the chest and you're gone. Realistic. Authentic. But people will go complaing that it takes the same amount of shots with an M4 or a Mosin... Wich it should, because IRL it doesn't matter if you got a .45 in your lungs or a 7.62 piercing though. You gonna die.

DayZ Christmas/New Years sale on the horizon?
weparo replied to [email protected]'s topic in General Discussion
give the quality I'm experiencing 30 to 45 USD seem apropriate... Given that SA hasn't released yet (only an alpha has) this was the only preorder I have ever made, and I ever will. I don't regret a thing but if you have doubts you should wait a couple months more because there is much to be fixed and added. -
Fail. :P Make the non local VoIP bug #2, cuz that needs fixing ASAP
-
What the said. One or two snubbies would be really cool! But mostly civillian stuff. Let me put it like this : DayZ with only civilian weapons would be 19/10 ;)

weparo replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
Yes, you speak what I want to say :) Instajoin is really nice, but the fact that you can see you char in the menus and move it around... awwww yesss! But the best thing about alpher is still the individual clothing. And it's well made too! Everything "fits" and looks great imho! I've been doing lot's of screeshots of my survivor :P But time to sleep now, see you guys around :) -
Another "Impressions" Thread - Thoughts/Considerations
weparo replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
You might just be one of the wisest guys around... I too have been surprised about the smoothness of the whole launch. Which makes it almost painfull to see the whiny threads. Lots of people that never got involved, that (imho) are not even part of the comunity just making accouts to ask already answered questions \ whine because they can't read. I 'd have the whole forum shut down for a week till they pipe down again :D -
I really hope the VoIP gets fixed soon though. Can't stand the chorus of kiddies and cave men. ;) Besides, I almost crapped myself when I heard a voice so close to me :D

I'm not surprised. Rocket 's got it all figured out man :) I can't wait to see DayZ in a couple months from now! -
No. Just eating and drinking sufficiently makes it go away. It's FOOD NEEDS * DRINK NEEDS * SICKNESS = HOW YOU FEEL It doesn't really mean anything yet. when the notifications get worse you might pass out soon, so watch out for that
