Errrrr no it isn't if 9/10 you just get shot whilst you lay on the floor.

Did anybody just see that!!??.....wait...oh nvm I think it was just the wind.... :P

Can't wait to go hunting players loot too. My friend and I became masters in the mod :)

Me thinks you need a better sarcasm detection kit ;)

Ok then make a brewing set to make vodka from potato's after first growing the potatoes ;)

You can't do whatever you want. Try flying.

Yes Quite! I must have missed that the first time I read through your well thought out and awe inspiring post. You're like a weird monster, built by some genius of a sociologist and neuroscientist to make a strange version of Dr J and Mr H whereby you go around trying to kill people but then trying to hela them but then trying to kill them but then..... remember though, only so many bullets in a magazine! ;)

In a zombie survival game human contact should be rare and if people moved around the map on a 40 player server the interaction would be enough. If however you want to just roll out guns blazing against another squad fuck off and play something else.

Rocket said duping and cheating was going to be a priority fix. They're working on this glitch RIGHT NOW! They jump on top of these things right away.

You heard her talking through teamspeak? How was this so? The rest of whatever your babbling on about is lost on me....

Yep gearing up is fun. Whenever I die I get excited about finding things again lol. Once I have gear it becomes a game of survival. Right now it's being developed so I'm not playing much. Just enough to learn all the new things they put in then take a break from it. Everyone will burn out before they finish it in 2 years time. I would seriously recommend NOT playing it that much - by the time they finished it you would have done everything.

In a ZA if you'd never flown a chopper and found one, you would NEVER think about trying to fly it.

Sorry! :blush:

I wore a bright orange raincoat and red hard hat and went around finding things just to give away to people. This was on a HC server where most people I met were friendly, most of them were like "What...you're giving away you gear....whaaaaa?" lol

Yep this is exactly it. The fear of death - what other game have you played where you actually fear what's around the next corner. It's not some cheap fear like a ghost going "BOO!" at you. This is the fear you taste at the back of your mouth, or as close to it that you're going to get so start to appreciate it. You won't find it in any other game and it sets it apart from all the other clones.

This is a good and a bad position to be in but you need to go outside and risk it. Taking risks of encounters makes every one you survive that much more rewarding. I got like this back in the mod days when I had been alive 40 days or something (game hour days so 40*24 hours). You care about living which means you care about dying and you're where the game should be taking you. Now you need to see how long you can live for until you inevitably dies - which is going to happen and when it does, the next challenge is to live longer.

I think choppers in a zombie apocalypse have no place at all for the reasons of reality. Why not add in APC's then and tanks? They exists in real life too and attack choppers and fighter jets. If you (not you, a general "you" ;)) think they're ridiculous you made my point.

Come back after some guy you never had the chance to see throws a grenade on ur head and kills you. At least with direct fire they had to expose themselves.

DayZ has no end game. When people realise this they'll stop wanting to rush around the map as quickly as possible. It's a game about survival and the best players are the ones that live the longest. The end game is living another day - isn't that what you're trying to do in a zombie apocalypse?

And why did the chopper crash? Because it wasn't maintained. Who was flying the chopper, an Army chopper pilot from an army unit

When cars become as complex to maintain and operate as helicopters then no, I wouldn't want those either. addendum: An aircraft is a far easier tool to use to getting out of somewhere as you can cover huge distances in short times. In a car you're exposed to any blockages in the roads. In a chopper you have a birds eye view before you land anywhere.

I haven't played ToH but I've played over 50 flight sims over the years and one thing decent flight sime require is a lot of processing power for the flight model. Without that you don't get the required flight dynamics with which to make your helicopters more difficult to fly. Dean can say what he wants but I don't see how he's going to fit in zombie AI AND Animal AI AND a complex flight model for one chopper per server. Yes DayZ uses SOME of ToH and Arma3 engines and they're also redesigning the entire engine too remember - so what exactly can the engine do right now - not what the devs want it to do which is why they're stripping everything back and why bother putting in months of dev time to add in a complex flight model the 3 people can use? Sorry I want a zombie survival sim, not a flight sim. I can go to Falcon, Enemy Engaged or Jane's Longbow 2 for that so I don't want dev time taken away from the core of the game for something most people won't use. This is why I don't think the SA is going to have a complex flight model, it doesn't warrant the time and effort they need to spend putting it in nor do I think they'll have the processing power for it. Yeah and imagine if your "character" only knew a couple of things? Oh look, a mechanic to stop KOS :) No he means realistically. If you had access to a chooper in a real apocalypse you wouldn't be in cherno anymore as you would fly off to the desert island and beach babes... B)

Wait till they open up modding for the SA which they'll do then there will be tanks and gunshit helicopters and barracks everywhere :(

This is utter bollocks, lol

This is a very good point.
