    November Round-up

    This is all a conspiracy and everyone is in on it.

    .308 is impressive, maybe level 4 stops dem lapua .338 or something.
  4. The fastest rugby player at my school is pretty damn bug on da belly.Speed has more to do with muscle, stamina has more to do with how light you are. Compare for example a endurance runner to Mr bolt, there is a big difference.

    Any living bacteria or virus would likely die when the bullet is fired.

    Just watched a vid where they shot their plate with 1 .308 and five ummm... AK 47 rounds.

    Every action has an equal or opposite reaction.In this case the combined mass of you and the door should be heavier aswell as the doors area of impact being spread over your arms acting as shock absorbers and whatever parts manage to contact your body. I'd say that in this scenario unless the door would give if it was modernish. If it didn't give I would have to say the karate experts foot might be worse for wear. Any karate expert should know that striking a shield is pointless. Edit: don't know where I got karate expert from, just run with it.

    Nokia phones can literally survive a nuclear blast three times hotter than the sun.They aren't comparable to bricks they're much much stronger.
  9. Maybe the zombie friendliness is due to the presence of the virus itself on the zombies. A sort of primal instinct hammered into our DNA to distinguish good meat and viral infected meat? Why waste energy on meat so bad? Maybe zombies ignore you if you have a virus, but you probably don't want a virus anyway :) I think hopping zombies are plain silly TBH, under zero circumstance would it make any sense for something injured to be hopping around. Limping zombies is what I'd like to see instead, and also crawling zombies that can't get up. Infection is definitely a virus, likely airborn due to the absolute lack of non immune survivors. I personally think zombies should have bad motor skills and have it explained by the virus being brain destroying.

    Where is Taviana and Namalsk in the world?I'd love it if you could go by boat or plane over the space of about ten mins.

    [SA] Dodging-Button/Animation

    Even with subsonic bullets you wouldn't have time to hear, process and move before you were shot.I call BS on that test. A car... Maybe; a zombies hand, definately; a speeding bullet? No.
  12. I am always discussing the standalone.

    side chat.

    What should be official dayZ forums sidechat? If we start we might make the trend...

    Random Spawn.

    Was gta inspiration or did you come up with this yourself?

    Random Spawn.

    I'd like to wake up in a crashed bus as zombies are feeding on dead people to the front. You have to try sneak out quietly. I feel there has to be a preference to the spawns or a different advantage to each one that might change the sort of endgame you achieve. What it sort of makes me think of though is the GTA 5 system when your just thrown into this characters life suddenly and they might be in the middle of something. Trevor especially is usually chasing some NPC'S car trying to kill them or following a scooter guy going scooter buddies!

    Lol, I'd like to see somebody get rabies. Have them flip out all crazy. Maybe they fall unconscious then it'll do that thing that the hackers do where they try and take controll of your character and shoot people, except maybe they'll drop their gun because they're that rabid?

    There is going to be a ruger 10 22 in the SA.Any HP bullet or Sub sonic bullet wouldn't break a 1/4 inch of steel. 10kg of steel is nothing compared to 20kg packs soldiers carry marching. And the plates are evenly distributed, packs are all on da back.

    Yes, it doesn't have to be for stopping bullets.Police are from my knowledge often issued with thinner, knife proof vests in areas like NZ where guns crimes are uncommon. But makes me think about places like London where there's lots of knife attacks. Hate me for saying it, but medieval armour. Its been more than 500 years since guns started being used but now humanity's main threat is using sharp nails and blunt force in attempt to kill you. What protects best against a zombie than some light chain or plate armour? A breast plate may seem obstructive, but in reality it is the least restrictive part, it is possible to do flips and parkour with that shit on. Chain mail would be a perfect defence against the zombies, light, flexible and impact reducing, it might even have a similar effect as Kevlar allowing a bullet to impact you but slow down instead of piercing. Modern impact reducing motorcross armour. American football. Ice Hockey. Even just a thick jacket. I know my brothers punches barely hurt when I wear my thickest jacket with all its padding. So many possibilities for protection can't just be avoided, things you see or use everyday, things lying in your closet or garage. I don't want A team style one piece of corrugated iron stops rifle rounds, but I would like their style of fix this crap on this car/ person and you stand more of a chance. Offer people the option to specialise in zombie killing and maybe that's what they'll do. Endgame equipment don't have to be PVP stuff.
  20. I'm not sure, maybe we need a special hardcore mode, with no 3rd person and no HUD.
  21. It would be more immersive when just walking around. I gotta agree on that fact, maybe enable and disable chat box button. Then when your hungry your stomach can grumble, I'm not sure what a thirsty person does though...

    October Round-up: #DayZDaily

    If you could find 1/4 inch steel plate... Would probably stop 5.56

    Disable Teamspeak?

    If all my friends had radios? Yeah maybe, but what if they disconnect from the server? We start up a steam chat just to see what happened to them?Its a game that's fun with friends aswell as interacting, if you stuck someone's mic onto perma whisper... So if they do want to talk at all their mic will pick it up anyway.
