Read the giant ass message at the very top of this page. The green one.

Thanks

proof?

I take it you never played paintball before? ;) I have my paintball gun loaded near my bed in case of a burglary. If I shoot my entire hopper in your face from 5-10m away, you're going down and are never coming back up again. You'd be lucky if you get away with a broken nose, and a lost eye or two ;)

I would enjoy this very much, as my avatar suggests, but I don't think it's something they will consider :)

Not true. In fact it's the other way around. Most companies have a community manager. The thing you have to ask yourself is this. Do you want to pay one guy to do all the community work for you, OR do you want your developers and designers to talk to the community. Which would cost you a lot more. But anyway, it's just my personal opinion that a community manager could address a lot more questions the players have than what dean, matt and brian could. I mean Dean twittert yesterday that the patch could go live on the stable branch today. Of course everybody is wondering, is that still happening? But he might not have time to address those questions. Thats where a community manager would come in handy. Hell, I think people would do that job for free, if you gave them the proper communication channels. I know I would ;)

Well they have a tracker for that (at least I hope they do), so they could just copy paste it. I think given the popularity of the game they should hire an official community manager. Who gives daily updates.

Great idea! Also never heard it before... Not! No, just no!

I'm in the wrong? OK if you say so. Like I said I haven't made a single assumption about you, that wasn't established through facts. You call someone an idiot for saying something you don't like. That makes you immature, kids are immature. The word "kid" simply is an interchangeable term for immaturity in this case. I'm 30 yes, you know that from my profile. But where did I ever say I was older than you? I have no way of knowing how old you are. Again the term "kid" was just used very loosely in order to demonstrate that you were behaving immaturely. But you said which I never said. Gnahhh this time I'm really done. This is getting stupid. :D

Like them all! But the one with the gas mask got me thinking. It sounds silly at first, because it just takes it one step to far. But think a little bit down the road in the development cycle. If things like airborne infections or even radiation or chemicals come into effect and the gas mask protects you from all these. You'd have to take the mask of in order to eat or drink or you might get exposed to said threats. Therefor you must plan your movement more carefully. In which areas are you going to be, do you need a gas mask, are you well enough fed in order to get through them? The other suggestions have been made before, but are still very good. Have my beans!

So yeah really quick, I think you should be able to look "around" your backpack while in first person. I mean in real life I can just bend (edit:) twist my upper body to the side so I can look behind me (I just tried it with a large trekking backpack ;)). So having your view blocked by your backpack in first person mode seams kinda silly. Thats all, thanks!

Well that escalated quickly! :P

Where did I make an assumption about you, that wasn't established through an observation I made about you? You called someone an idiot who disagreed with you. That makes you immature. There's no assuming. It's a fact. You on the other hand made the assumption that I would do the same. AND made an assumption about my age. Where did I say I was older than you? Never even mentioned age, aside from the fact that you behaved immaturely. Also I'm done with this thread now. Have fun in WoW kiddo! Edit: Also: Everything that RazRaz said!

Yeah sure absolutely! It's not supposed to be a marker you can see from a mile away. It's just like you said, there, to compensate for the fact that you can't distinguish two people the same way you could in real life.

Bad choice of words on my part! :) But since you can't really twist in DayZ, there needs to be another option so that your view is not obscured by your backpack. That's what I'm going for. I mostly play 1st person only, but the big backpack is really hampering the gameplay a bit. (for me at least)

Not entirely true though. Alpha is for adding features and beta is for bug fixing. That's why a beta is also referred to as "feature complete". Just sayin. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Alpha last sentence ;)) But I get what your saying. They have their hands full with other stuff. But let's not go on any further about that. Point is, I made a suggestion and now the community can decide if they like it or not ;)

Well the initial problems would remain. 1. You could still identify a certain playstyle by looking at someone. 2. It favors one side more than the other. That's just something that rocket wants to avoid.

Well if someone replies with "you idiot", he sounds like a kid to me. Don't care how old you are, it's immature and doesn't help your case one bit. And please don't make assumptions about me, you don't know me. Back to topic, if you don't know if it has been suggested, how about using the search function? All of what you suggested has been suggested lots of times already, and the community to which you are very new (not that that is a bad thing), doesn't like NPC's, OR any kind of honor/ranking systems very much. Lets just leave it at that.

It was filled yes, and of course it's not "easy", but it's at least doable. I just think it's silly that you can't look behind you with a backpack on your back. If everybody disagrees, that's fine too ;) Wont lose any sleep about it.

You still didn't use the search function. NPC's have been talked about, and got the "will never happen" answer from rocket. So there's that.

I know that, but this doesn't seem to be an "it's alpha" issue. I think it's more "didn't really think about it all that much". And besides, giving feedback is what I'm here for. That's what I'm supposed to do during an alpha test. It's not like I'm crying or bitching about it. I simply made a suggestion about something that I think needs changing.

Calling people names will get you nowhere kid. Also your suggestion is reeeeeeeeeeeeeaallyyyyyy stupid, has been mentioned and crushed a gazillion times, and will never happen, ever.

I think it's a bug with the spray painted mosin. I had a normal one and could still load 5 rounds. After I spray painted it camo, I could only chamber one at a time. Also this is something for the feedback tracker not the general forum. (there is already a ticket open about it) http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=7185

Completely read over that :)

Did you try different M4's as well? Like has been said before, the weapon itself has a condition as well, you just can't see it at the moment because the tooltip is bugged.
