Yea I have to agree here, I hate when these nerds get on the mic and want to feel all powerful, saying the dumbest shit. Maybe its my pride but I DONT get talked down to, not by anyone. To me that's worth the 1-2 hour hike back. Might not be very convenient of me, but its inconvenient to get shot all the time, yet "thats the way the game is". As to shooting people after you've got them cuffed...thats just pathetic. If someones complied and you have some sick need to shoot them anyway? Even if it is a game, thats some sick shit.

Yea i have mixed feelings on this one....as you can see from my profile pic I love making ghillies. In fact the first place id hit up in an apocalypse is fleet farm, get enough burlap rolls, netting/deer fencing and dye to make ghillies to hid stuff/myself. Buuuttt they take an incredibly long time to make(roughly 90 hours for that one), and making some kinda instacraft system would take away entirely from the realism of it. Although it would also be sweet to customize it like they are doing in the origins mod. But I digress, imo while I think crafting them would be cool, it really makes more sense for them to stay a rare loot spawn. I do think they should add more styles, I never liked how the stalker suit was used for the bandit skin...cause a stalker suit is one of the better ways to conveniently break up the upper body. It be cool to see a stalker suit, an actual ghillie, and then more variations of the gorilla suit style. But yea no crafting.

In actual answer to your question, arma 2 has it+they are going for realism. So Id have to assume they would implement it at some point, though I doubt its high on their list of priorities. Also while i dont agree with trollish, condescending nonsense, a simple google search and deductive reasoning could have given you your answer.

I was interested in trying this out looks really good, and the parallax effect (especially on the bricks in the last pic) is really sweet. I was thinking it might be ban-able (I mean it says injector lol). I might try it out, Im all about Parallax Occlusion/tessellation! Lol now boris just has to make an enb.

One thing I would have to add (just thought of it actually), is realistically you probably would find more weapons than ammo. Reason being is (obviously), people can carry a lot more ammo than weapons. Another cool thing is you dont know if the survivor you see has ammo or not, could make for some...dangit what movie is that...The Road or I think book of Eli, where most weapons people carry arent loaded, moments/holy run on sentence. But yea could make for some interesting interactions, would be bandits with only an axe might steer clear, whereas would be heroes probably wouldnt be so apt to help you out.

Maybe even a 24/7 day server/no pvp......now before I get lynched for even the suggestion, let me explain. I play the mod still, I find pvp to be incredibly invigorating and heart stopping at the same time, no other game can send as much adrenaline through your body, than dayz when you accidentally stumble across someone or are wandering around and start getting shot at. I love it. But the fact of the matter is the standalone isnt to that point yet, I really dont care about dying and losing my stuff cause I have no real place to store surplus, no real endgame, and my character gets wiped every couple days. I expect this obviously cause it's in alpha...which is why I dont play the alpha like the mod. I want to run around test everything figure out what stairs dont work right, where i can accidentally glitch through walls, etc. Most importantly I want to talk to other people who are messing around and I want to see if they are getting the same issues I am, talk to them about it. But you cant do that if 1) morons are gonna run up to you with an axe when your a fresh spawn, or 2) When you cant even have trust enough to sit there talking with someone without worry about getting killed. I want to test every aspect of the game but cant do that if Im constantly on the lookout for other players, or meetings are to tense to converse about their experience. Maybe what I think is important testing isnt, Idk thoughts?

1) Read my post...fully comprehend then please by all means make a more knowledgeable suggestion, 2) read my new post. Wow I dont even know what to say, I try to explain I like pvp, in the mod, and will enjoy it in the full game. But right now why try to play an ALPHA as a full game, some people want to and thats cool (I dont see the logic in it but whatever). But I want to test the game. I find more bugs by actively trying to find them, thAn by accident (although the accidental ones are the funniest). Hell im confused cause you cant even get a fully satisfying pvp in the SA right now. So why make a bigger deal out of it? I never said that pvp was bad I just said I wanted to be able to talk to people (because sometimes bugs can be caused by hardware, its god to get multiple opinions). But you cant trust anybody (which again I like in the mod it makes meeting people tense adds immersion). I dont find it productive in the least. One I cant afford a server (nobodies fault but my bills/priorities, well and servers are like 70 bucks a month) which is why i was thinking (not really even suggesting) maybe one or 2 official servers could be no pvp. Two the amount of people I know who own the SA are a grand total of 2, one of them sits right next to me as we play. So THAT wouldnt be very effective. Lol steal my beans? Cry about it? People thought I made good points (while I appreciate the support it is by no means why I posted) you come on and make a trollish statement and think you got me? Nah.

Lol that kind of cohesion as delightful as it sounds, impossible (but you already know that). Lol maybe form a clan of 50 players and just hijack a server or something. That would be a really cool situation though, because I do think pvp does need to be tested, I mean its not ai you're fighting all the time. Latencies need to be tested, and things like that. Idk in reality, its probably just a dream. But I have a lot of dreams lol. You are certainly right about the killwhores out there. Who knows, I do think that respawning loot should be implemented very early on would make it much easier to be able to just cruise around and find these bugs. If i'm not constantly dying of hunger I can make it further inland. When it comes time for release, let the banditry begin. Just gives heros (like me) a nice target. The main reason id like a lot of players is so you can have a more cohesive list, if im sitting here thinking im discovering bugs on a 2 man server, while jack dick and sally are posting about the same bugs on the forums just fills the forums up I guess.

See things like this Im trying to avoid, I'm not uneducated and if you bothered to read my post before replying. You might have made an intelligent and informed post, but instead you read 2 lines and decided to post one and 2 words. Its trollishness like this that makes me laugh because I see people posting its in alpha blah blah blah, but try to play the game like the mod. Im not trying to PLAY the game, im trying to TEST it. I thought thats what I bought it for...unless its just an excuse for a soft release, and the devs actually want no input from the players. Notice how I didnt ask for some God mode or some small player server (actually I think that more players on at a time=more stress testing for servers and more communication with other players), hell even 24/7 day doesnt make a whole lot of sense because (and guess what I thought about it) there are glitches that could be related to night time. But I thought it might be an option for more test-ability for items and such. Then notice how I point out the flaws in my own request. Im not some kid coming on here....gUyz i gET kILEEd al Teh tIem, MaKE it stahp! Im just genuinely trying to speak my mind about something I thought might be cool. Not even saying hey make this a thing. I dont mind opinions opposing my ideas, I welcome them, cause ive already found flaws in my plan but if its just nonsense, ill thank you for the free bump (I guess) but thats all your post is worth.

I thought of that as well, especially with server costs. Lol I want it for such legitimate reasons, but no ones gonna accept private hive and I doubt the devs will even enable it. My only thinking is all servers are the same at this point. Theres no need for competition, someone might see it and think its a good idea (hell even naming it no pvp), or I was thinking along the lines of the official servers I assume are being hosted by bohemia. Idk it would be met by a lot of hardships, too many to really take root. Naming a server no pvp but not implementing/enforcing it, would just encourage morons to get on and start wreaking havoc. While an actual non pvp server would attract to many people who want MOar LEwt. Idk I was really just thinking out loud, It'd be really cool to be able to join a server where there was like 50 people who you knew just wanted to test things out.

Lol first m4 I found was in elektro in the office building. So I def agree there. Also the first zombie i aggroed was from so far away I thought it was a player coming to fight me lol. Ahh alpha, you make me laugh. But yea I think those are all pretty good points.

Ive had multiple crash to desktops while running around (ive only been killed by players twice, havent logged out, wouldnt even consider it) but its in alpha, game crashes are going to be happening in and out of combat. Yesterday me and my bro crashed at the same time. What if you are initiate the combat, kill the person and before you are considered "out of combat" happen to crash (the irony), not as unlikely as you'd think at this point. Its moronic to think they should ban people for something that has a counter yet to be implemented implemented...it keeps going back to stop playing the alpha like the mod. There will be things to exploit and people will use them (for reasons I cant explain). Who cares if they managed to save their stuff for another couple of hours before a wipe or they die of starvation. Im not saying its not pathetic, I am saying at this point why worry about it. Edit: As its been said I doubt the devs would even consider it.

Made my day when I found this, instantly reminded me of archer. Hopefully it'll come in red! And then ill get some wine coolers for shoes!

Lol I found my M4 in....the office building, I was like dafuq?

Well that would be awesome, ill have to keep my eye out. The pattern looks uncannily similar.

Hello all, I too am suffering from being unable to play during daytime(at a normal time in any case). Im a little luckier cause my work schedule fluctuates from day to day, and I got to play in a couple hours of daylight at about 2-6 am here in Colorado(couldnt sleep last night). The only reason I advocate select 24/7 servers at this point (and the irony is laughable) I really just want to test stuff out. Everyone's like "its in alpha its unplayable,stop complaining, stop whining that things dont work, go play the mod" ...why are you trying to play it like the mod then? I just want to run around and see how things work, try to find bugs to report. Im really not trying to play the game like the mod at this point, cause if I want an experience like the mod...I'll play the mod. Don't get me wrong I actually love the fact that its a 24 hour day/night cycle in the mod(one of the things that made me start playing dayz). You try to find enough loot during the day to make stumbling through the night easier. But at this point in the SA, I don't think it should be i want to PLAY during day/night, for me I just want to be able to TEST in the day. All this elitist crap flying around about night-time, Im gonna go out on a limb and say...You don't seem to even understand why you purchased the alpha, so if you want to PLAY a full day/night cycle, go play the mod. Also I'm not saying they should necessarily just change it to 24/7(maybe like a select few test servers), but I do think that accommodating to people with work schedules by having a few servers with opposite cycles, certainly wouldn't hurt anything, and I don't see why people have to get all up in arms about it. I want a 24/7 day server, for now in the SA...there I said it.
