Beebs (DayZ)

I like the current system. Yeah, it is pretty harsh and unforgiving starting out with such meager rations, but this is supposed to be a harsh and unforgiving game. my only suggestion: get rid of the backpack. no one carries around an empty backpack in real life, what reasoning would all these survivors have for carrying one in the game?

yes I was clearly referencing specifically a zombie apocalypse. There is no other possible parallel to be made. Furthermore, there are zero instances in history where breakdown in leadership led to outbreaks in violence and anarchy. Also, I met someone today. traded him a blood transfusion for some AKM mags. we then searched the berezino tents together before going our seperate ways. This idea that everyone is shooting everyone else on sight is a projection of your own deathmatch mentality.

>makes thread regarding realism > references works of fiction (some of which actually contrary to his point) I have a better idea. Lets look at REAL LIFE since that is what we are emulating, not some Simon Pegg black comedy. Without a strong social structure, the human life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." DayZ sounds awfully realistic to me.

what, you want to make the zombies easier?

>talk about in game realism >list movies and books as reference you realize those pretty pictures on your television are ALSO fiction, right OP?

leave the spawn rates as they, change how much hunger and thirst are replenished from food and drink sources. Say cooked meat acts as it does now, will fill your hunger meter even if you are dying of starvation. same with water. soda or beans will only get you 1/2 or 1/3 of a hunger meter, so you would need 3 cans of beans to equal 1 cooked meat or 3 cans of soda to equal 1 canteen of water.

I thought you said you were uninstalling the game, why are you still here?

Bye. You won't be missed.

I have never fired at another player unless first fired upon. Sometimes it kills me, but I've found the most rewarding experience in DayZ is the impromptu dynamic teamwork that can breed from a group of friendlies stumbling into each other.

This thread had a pretty cool discussion going until the naked bigotry.

I avoided 1.7.1.2 completely and when I logged in for 1.7.1.4 today, my inventory was untouched. So I'm thinking it was the mass hatchet spawning shenanigans that 7.1.2 brought.

I appreciate DayZ and Rocket

Would any of you doctors be interested in over-watch support? basically I will give my steam name to the medics and when they get a call, they let me know and I tag along. It can help add some security to the situation and reduce medic deaths, act as a second inventory, etc.

That person may have never shot at another player in his entire DayZ life. Interesting you project your own banditry onto your victims in order to justify your actions.

I like to shoot people in the legs when they are getting chased by zombies. Ive also been on roofs or towers and seen people crawling through a street, so I throw a flare or tin can at them to attract zombies. My direct communication is being a bitch right now, but when its working I have plans to hot mic the benny hill theme on loop while stalking players (with no intent to actually kill them). try to occasionally get closer and farther so they hear the music fade in and out and really WTF.

this forum isn't your personal revenge strike team. I hope whoever killed you is laughing about this thread right now.

There is a huge difference between "you will probably die" and "you have 0% survival chance past 30 days." People need that hope that they can continue to play the game. think of the lottery, the odds are astronomical, but they are non-zero so people still play. If you had a 0% chance of winning, how many people do you think would still buy lotto tickets?

gathering basic supplies in Cherno last night before heading north. me and a buddy logged out in the church and he logged in about 30 seconds before me and was killed. when i got in the guy was looting my friend's corpse with his back to me so i calmly walked up to him and put 2 in the back of his head. Also made an impromptu team with another guy. His side channel still worked and he was communicating via typing in there. I was attempting to talk in direct but he couldnt hear me, and my side channel is turned off. after the 4th or 5th time of us getting seperated because I couldnt communicate to him and he had to inform the whole world where he was so I could meet up with him, I got fed up and plugged him in the chest.

I think the Dawn of the Dead reference is amusing because in its prequel, Night of the Living Dead, who kills Ben? Spoiler alert: not zombies.
