I remember once, when me and a friend met two friendlies in Berezino. After a short exchange of words, we departed westwards. The last thing they said was: ''Wow! There actually are friendlies in Berezino?'' I feel really sad when I think about that. A lot of people want to do something else than shoot strangers, but fear being backstabbed. My advice is to be friendly but cautious to strangers. It helps you live longer, too, especially when you're crappy at aiming like me :) Really though, I would rather be shot ten times by backstabbers than shoot someone that had good intentions out of fear that they didn't..

Separate? But hardcore is the main account! :P

Gee I think it's just a spelling error You know...

It is good to see a survivor helping a comrade in this harsh and cruel world. You get beans for both your story and your fashionable orange raincoat.

This, again? I don't think this is a good idea. It kind of removes the purpose of any can-opening implement in the game...

Well to be fair, the ARMA M4 sounds pretty bad too. They updated a lot of weapon sounds in one of the older updates. I am sure the M4 is getting better sounds in the future too. I guess the ´´legite´´ reason is the simple fact that this game is unfinished. The sound is a placeholder. (I don't think they had their sound team running when they made the M4) -- You multipost and THEN Edit your OP? (EleventhAvenue the Pseudo-Forum Police-Vigilante has entered a confused state)

Yes! We need ´´You have died of dysentery´´ now! And really, it's not more unrealistic than a ´´you are dead´´ in the first place.

In my experience, idiots like depicted in the movie are less common on Hardcore servers (not necessarily KOS, but that's another matter). I understand that there might be other reasons to play on Regular, however. Edit: Kind of unrelated, but I find that to be a strange but interesting example of how gender actually can lead to emergent gameplay.

I think that the first step to improve melee would be to make a direction system similar to M&B (Left swing, right swing, overhead swing, thrust) and then give different propterties to the attacks depending on how you attack and with which weapon. Instead of those silly ´´Press E to engage ZECRETSORSNIPORBAKSTEB mode´´ I think it would be more preferable to have a solid melee system which makes stealth kills possible in an emergent way, from how the system is designed, instead of having stealth kills be an actual feature, with requirements on what is and what is not a stealth kill and so on.

When those who hate on the difficulty surpass the number of people hating on all other game features together. Then we shall truly have DayZ :)

I don't get the whole ´´It can't be perfectly realistic and therefore any suggestions to make it slightly more realistic are EVIL AND WRONG´´ thing. Gameplay > Realism, but this is good for both gameplay AND realism. Therefore, it is a must. And as the OP says, the whole searching for supplies thing is one of the main concepts of DayZ, and it should not be watered down.

This thread... Perpetum Mobile = Confirmed

Well, this looks mildly interesting. Especially the mackerel and the teddy bear (but is Brian truly a good Chernarussian name?) (Also no offense Deathlove but why do you express your opinion by making five single-sentence forum posts? There is a thing called MultiQuote and it's really nice)

Bleh It's amazing how the entire community comes together every 3 days and so, discussing the same thing over again. The arguments are exactly the same, even the insults are the same.. Like usual, this thread will soon die and be replaced by an exactly similar one, and the process will be repeated again... I think if George Orwell ever would have written a novel that took place in an internet forum, that forum would be a lot like this one
