non lethal or less than lethal ammo generally applies to shotguns and its still dangerous, it is designed to incapacitate rather than kill so it can give te player a huge shock increase along with a small blood loss so it can still be damaging to hostiles it just wont kill them which in some cases is what you want

Bumped :)

i like this idea, as i like the looting/ surviving aspect of the game and i only carry a rifle around beacuse it takes up no space and if i have it, it means someone else doesnt is i feel more safe, but if i had a bag in my front hands instead of a rifle it would be quite a clear way of saying 'IM FRIENDLY I CANT SHOOT YOU' which i think may increase positive actions in the wasteland, but not remove banditry and whatnot

the thing is that by now however many months into the apocalypse it is, only the strongest, faster, fittest have survived, even if it was only 2 weeks in, if you have asthma you are kinda screwed, if you are unfit you are screwed, if you are weak you are screwed. there is only so long before only the best are alive

i do understand where your coming from with this topic, i posted a similarly ragey one about character resets and i feel stupid now, everything is on the way. however, i dont understand how these things happen ingame? its the same map, similar engine and there really isnt that much gear? what are the devs doing why has it taken so long :/ i am kinda disappointed at their progress they made up to this point and continue to make, dont get me wrong i love it (90 hours) but i thought they would be further along the development cycle by now

would i be able to cut wood 70% faster with a lumberjack beard? would my character go faster on a bike and say badass stuff with a biker beard and tache? if not then im not interested

you ever had it when you can hear game sounds but the screen still says 'recieving data' i think that is what this guy means because if i am on a server i dont want to login and not see what happening knowing if i get attacked i cant do much about it as i cant see ingame

Hmmmmmm... after reading this i think i dont want a sanity meter thingy added in, i just wish SOME people would be more friendly, lets go to realism because everyone loves that you have a rifle and i clearly have nothing on me, in dayz i have had this situation and i have been shot 8 of 10 times or whatever. I dont believe that 80% of humans are psychotic murderers that do it for the thrill, i would say even in a zombie apocalypes it would be at most 60%, i think it is just some people feeling they have a position of power and not knowing what to do so they just shoot.

What you say about jets being easy to fly sounds interesting but I hope they aren't added because I don't want to have someone drop bombs on me whilst I am walking out of electro feeling proud I have just found a cool rifle with ammo, and if Helios are difficult to fly for professionals then your character wouldn't even be able to take off We are very off topic to the original post XD

But your not a mechanic or a pilot, you can't repair it and you have no idea how to fly it. Have you seen the inside of a helicopter cockpit? It looks like something alien I did see a post about choppers and I really hope they aren't added, chopper crash sites I'm fine with fly able choppers no. Same for tanks, planes or anything else ridiculous

If they add any "sniper" rifles They should basically be impossible to find, and as for a .50 really don't want that, maybe hunting rifles and competition rifles with very good accuracy but .50 cals dont reeeally fit in. And as for helicopters (someone mentioned) they can't be in game youre a civilian not a fucking army mechanic, if you find a helicopter of course you can't repair it you have no idea what you are doing!!!!!! Oh and whilst we're making weapon requests here's what I want: I want the be able to put a grenade inside a can of beans filled with feaces and then lob it at someone and watch it explode

this was an awesome experiment, it seemed like the most geared ones were the ones that helped, and the ones with no gear, picked up the weapon and left :/ or just ignored you completely props to you for such a good idea

got bored with all the gear i had and thought i would give it a go at sniping people at balota, joined a 40 player server, no one. server rebooted, i rejoined, again no one. so i hop between a few servers ( yeah im scum so what) i dont see a single person. Really? no one running around balota!

well i may have to try that next

thats what i was attempting to do, call it population control of the insta-gearers if you will

but thats the thing i spent 1-2hours on many servers 6+ of which 3 had just rebooted and i didnt see one person willing to enter the barracks and be shot at from 800m away

next time you try this you gotta get them to read you the new testament XD

i really dont like the Arma 2 inventory its barely useable in my opinion. Arma 3's is much better and could have been used but the standalone has the best inventory system without a doubt, its very solid only with a few minor flaws

i am sick and tired of being shot at because i have a pistol in my chest holster and a talon backpack with food, i have given up with weapons because if someone is gonna shoot me the fact i have a rifle will make no difference. I want someone to hold me up take everything and leave me with 1 rag and maybe a few wounds, that will add to the excitement of finding new gear and actually suriving and living through stuff. And i also agree, i held somebody up with my mosin, because they were in my vicinity and i didnt want to get axed, it was purely me gona take the axe off them, maybe even give them some of my food , but no. they tried to run, tried strafing all the way up the road. so i took 1 well aimed possibly lucky shot with my mosin and took that bitch out, i told him to put his hands up, the idiot -.-

i mean in a few hours in a day i ran from kamyshovo to electro, electro to cherno, cherno to berezino, berezino to NEAF via the shipwreck, and in this time i did a lot of looting, met up with friends, got into a 6 person gun fight. honestly vehicles arent of my concern, i think we only need vehicles when basebuilding becomes a thing, and that will only become a thing if we get private hives

in civilian russia, in a post apocalytic world how likely are you, a civilian likely to find an AS50 maybe there is 1 per server reboot but its just not gonna happen, i really think snipers are unlikely, maybe you can find hunting rifles or competition shooting rifles but as for AS50 and all the other military rifles... no

i think that maybe you dont need all those items but the more you have the better it looks, for example lets say you dont have the dyes, you can still craft it but it will be very basic, or maybe you only need any type of jumpsuit like a rare civilian jumpsuit if they were a mechanic or whatever? cool idea though its a layer of realism so it should be added imo

thats interesting about saline IV as i was shot in the rucksack (survived) but now my 2 saline IV,s are in pretty poor condition i think like damaged and ruined or something?

there needs to be a way to tell people to be freindly because at the moment shooting someone is by far the easiest option. if you try to hold someone up they just log out. shooting someone gives you their gear and all you lose is like 2 or 3 bullets and in a 30/40 round Cmag that isnt much. so banditry should still be a game aspect, but something needs to happen before banditry and being friendly gets balanced out

I have around 75hours on this game and am slowly running out of ideas for me to do. ive tried looting everything i can, tried rushing balota, being freindly, being overly friendly, killing on sight, sniping balota air strip (unsucessfully). At the moment i am playing by the rules No military areas, so im not allowed into balota airfield + tents, Vybor/ kabanino military base, NWAF, NEAF those sorts of places, so basically i can get everything apart from M4 and long range scope if i find a mosin, but yeah its going well, have about 2 hours down and have food drink and a backpack. However i am looking for a different playing method, could someone suggest one or many? this can be like a discussion give me all your ideas of how you play at the moment and so on
