Where have you all gone? By rocket vanguard i mean the peeps who preached the mans words and followed the Please read BEFORE posting thread like a chrsitian on a crusade. Some of you guys kinda sucked, for verbally castrating niave new posters with an aggression only witnessed in religious persecution (see previous paragraph) But now, oh god, now there seems to be so little peeps spending time in here, that no one is posting the use search function quote that put so many intial posters in line. The frequent browsers and posters know what im on about, just look at the first page. Like i said i hated those of you who aggresively tore new peeps apart, but at the same time, i kind of miss you now :( Ps I know in all likelihood the devs feel ill at the prospect of digging through that forum, and i know the mods are unjustifiably understaffed, ye guys were kind of the last line of defence for repetative shite. I just love the idea of developing ideas with peeps on a subject (perfect zombie game) that weve all been thinking about for years (over a decade for me :S), thats why this game exploded in popularity. Come back, just dont be so mean moved from the general discussion forum seeing as got no replies, assuming most peeps didnt have a clue what i was talking about :( if your a new poster in this forum, please use search function before posting new threads, so many good ideas and well intented people have been lost t hrough peeps wanting to claim there own original idea instead of actually posting on the original thread and giving it the attention they deserve. Which has the effect of making the frequent posters feeling impotent, I reached my limits months ago but I still dont aggresively rip new posters to pieces, just guide them to the right way to use this forum.

there ye go, just for you, spelt right....

... ive decided i dont like you... :P

I thought the idea of removing respawn, was to stop peeps killing themselves to get a better spawn point? Cool idea but dont give peeps the rope to begin with, cant we just have a good old lynching like the old days? Hated it when the council put an end to that, fucking party poopers!

havnt used it yet as my house mate spitroasted by PC whilst i was away. (I have since impaled him on our washing pole as a warning to the others). Will give it a try though whence im back up and running :)

use the search function matey, tis at least 50 billion threads on the same topic (might be a slight over exageration, but only slight) but yarp, tis a good idea, ye can spot the Bus and civilian GAZ & UAZ from a mile away.

Im sure jesus spoke of this in one of his classic sermons, and i quote “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him and to get Rocket to fix the ATVs. (John 3:16-17) And those words have been repeated many times, for example at 9.44am earlier today Atvs flipping - fix Im sure the words will be repeated again, and again.... and again :( But on a side note it certainly does need fixing XD

NOT at all, most of the killing goes on in electro and cherno and other built up towns/favourable spawn areas, ie areas devoid of tents, you would have to have less then an iota of intelligence to set up a permanent camp near by electro or cherno and expect it to last. I have no idea why removing the tents would have any impact on these areas at all? Further, in order to adequetly stock and keep safe tents and camps, requires more people, so in my opinion they actual promote team play rather than quash it. Removing the notion of duping, in order to stock pile your tent with the BEST equipment, requires weeks/months (as mentioned by a previous poster but very true) of gameplay. If you can set up a tent which remains undisturbed for months, as well as acquiring a complete replacement gear, set up with all the best items, then fair play!!!

I see what ye mean, which is why i think there should be skills and activities tailored for individuals to small groups to large clans (Control Old Industry / Control Rural Industry). But there should be some recognition that alot of tasks simply cannot be achieved by one person alone. I think theres too many lone wolves out there who assume they are the spawn of Bear Grylls and Nikola Tesla.

I think itd just give it a more real immersion. Unique placed zombies and situations would add so much more depth to it. Even a zombie trapped in a car you wanted to fix, that goes ape shit when you appraoch and potentially hits the horn attracting other zeds and players XD

yup that be a worth while problem, which is why ive also seen threads calling for complete server wipes on new updates :S ill try n find ze thread/discussion to post but that probably will be neccessary when tent duping is fixed which is a shame on the legit peeps but tis also necessary. i just hope theyll sort out the duping on one update, then give peeps plenty of advanced notice that there will be a server wipe on the following update. not like peeps will be able to exploit this and save anything anyway, but will at least give them some notice.

indeed and thats a problem with duping, ie A BUG! not anything wrong with the actual idea of putting tents down and using them, but a bug that needs to be rid of. one thing i hate about this forum is when people spin the bugs and hacking into suggestions, as if thats a type of gameplay that needs to be accepted and or worked around? Rather then it being a problem that WILL be irradicated if this is ever to be a succesful stand alone game. the tents are bugged? yes, does that need fixing? yes, how will that happen? in game testing. should we remove an item based solely on a bug that is intended to be removed? errr? no?

There are ameoba on mars that have suggested this. no one uses the search function anymore :( but it is a good idea, as well as expanding it to include chances of infections with different types of water sources, and filtration mechanics, another KEY issue in survival. i will forgive you though, as ye havnt posted much and the search function isnt perfect, but doesnt require as much patience as it used too.

there should be a whole host of diff zombie skins included. personally id like to see police zeds in bullet proof vest (headshots only, or alot of torso hits) fat zombies that take more bullets to the torso (not head) and will defo knock you to the ground if they come into contact child zombies that are quick and nimble and even something like wheelchair, bed ridden zombies in hospitals or homes. I like the idea of having specific zeds in specific areas, but also giving them extra abilities (like mentioned) that are due to their physique unlike the kind of special zeds that l4d conjures up.

Hmm, tbh i really only see duping as the problem with tents, which is clearly a bug to be rid of. So a player has spent dayz collecting stoof for his tent and dies only to return and gear up again, so what? I understand the point of view that its giving someone an unfair starting point, but i really dont think its that much of a problem. There is always still a risk with setting up camps, wont always be there when ye get back. I can say that im part of a large group, and a few of us specifically specialize in camp hunting. Dont assume that tents are a fool proof way to get your gear back. Ive raided MANY tents, ive had my tent raided, and ive turned up back at my camp for an ambush to be waiting in place in the same way ive scouted out other peoples camps and observed for activity. I do understand what your saying, but i think a big part of the problems your highlighting is purely down to duping, which will only be fixed if its being tested in game :(

-Dynamic destructable environments -Dynamic movement/interactions with environment (ie more use of your own person; fighting, free running, hiding) - Spawning more useless items (but possibly combinable), spawning less useful items (a recent thread DayZ should be a constant battle for the resources you need, not a contant battle for something to do put down a good argument for this, but there are plenty of others) - Be able to have a very real and consequential impact on your enviornment, Control Rural Industry & Control Old Industry; couple of threads i made on long term incentives for organised groups to occupy towns and cities.

I want nothing more than a cup o tea and a blow job in the morning. Some things... oh wait no, i got that this morning! XD life must suck for you? XD Tbh though it does kinda suck how ye cant return games youve bought, in the same way you could before the internet when PC games came in encyclopedic sized boxes you could at least use for blunt force trauma if the shop assisstant refused returns. Guess it shows how much money was really in the packaging then the coding, unfortunately i feel the illusion must be maintained if production studios are gonna continue seeing an incentive to fund game development. Profiteering whores that they are.

:( because your character is bound to the Hive, having more hives would mean you would start different characters for each hive. Further you could only take that character to servers bound to that HIVe. Mass confusion i believe it would create on something thats still in testing :( Hackers are a big problem, but theres lots of big problems on the game trying to get ironed out, and that includes problems with communication between the hive and servers.

errr no sorry how they gonna fix the tent duping, if it isnt in game being tested? yea tis annoying but tbh one of the things that drew me to this game was the idea of permafixtures and the possibilities of base building and/or occupying areas of the towns and cities soooo nooo sorry. -1

indeed! even if its smaller, more hostile groups looking to take over an area, theyd still have to be welcoming to some peeps (even if they wanna use them as cannon fodder) to hold down an area, which at the very least creates incentives for far more interesting group dynamics and developments then getting shot unexpectedly from an unknown location. I dont mind getting killed in the game, its just when theres nothing memorable about it, just a random shot in the dark :(

Tbh the idea i had, came from a thread someone made on the idea of self defence (having a invisible bubble around a player, so that if a bullet strayed through that bubble, the player could kill the shooter as an act of self defence, thereby the kill not showing up as a murder... if ye get me) What i thought would be cool is if this skill book was enabled, then other players could learn other skills by being in the proximity of another who is using those skills. However even though i havnt seen another game learning skills this way, that is still in the realm of experience points and probably wouldnt be implemented :( However the idea of having some piece book/info item that unlocked more complicated procedures might create the incentive for specified roles, and thereby creating an incentive for people to merge into groups.

Not really when ye think about it, the OP was just on about food and water spawns in cities and towns, its still possible to get your food from animals, and water from pumps and reservoirs. +1 OP XD ye may also be interested in this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/20112-the-only-realistic-way-to-prevent-deathmatching-make-dayz-a-living-hell/, which links into the ideas your suggesting. Tis a huge read now but i always like to see it get bumped once in a while XD

Ai do see what ye mean, but i dont think there should be anything in game that completely guarentees safety, of either your equipment or base camp. I certainly think theres !PLENTY! of customisable defences and traps that are lacking in the game, but they should all be able to be overcome. If keys were introduced to the generator, or even to vehciles, there should also be a mechanic for where you can "pick" that lock, or "hotwire" a car.

yea tbh i had that feeling for a while, and it is a lil demoralising. Tbh though I literally have spent well over a decade getting stoned with mates and discussing the perfect zombie game, this forum has been a worthwhile release of a 10-year vintaged rant XD I do hope the devs consider this though, part of me feels like they have but its so many steps away from where they are currently at with testing, that their either waiting till they reach that page, or not even considering it with the first standalone version (ie they wouldnt even consider it until they see the reception of the first game) which would be tragic, and tbh i think if that was done it would be more on side of the studios cutting costs rathe then the devs wanting to leave features out for a sequel. Wouldnt be the first time ive heard of it happening in other game developments too, and seeing as there seemed to be alot of resistance to DayZ becoming standalone (which im assuming WarZ gave a kick up the arse for the Bohemia to stop fucking around) I wouldnt be surprised if lots of features intended for the standalone get omitted. Fucking tragedy when creative ideas are ultimately guided by profiteering whores. Otherwise for a start there would be more staff to sift through all this!! :( But yea, doesnt stop giving me hope, this is BY FAR the closest to a proper zombie game ive wanted, so i really hope they take something out of what weve been discussed in this and PLENTY of other threads (albeit if they are drowned out by repeatative rubbish)
