try adding your idea to this thread( its a little lower down on the first page :rolleyes: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165426-we-need-some-way-to-identify-heros-and-bandits/page-41

yeah on top of that i thought it was planned to do respawning zeds before loot or am i remembering wrong???? ( hey i am old the memory is going but i thought they were staging respawning zeds first then loot to test server strain??)

LOL wow havent found one there for many patches (that spot is where i found my first ever ) thanks ill stop risking my life so much then and resume my normal loot explore pattern.... Yeah not expecting anything from this patch besides a hot fix.... but always happy to see any small additions...

what where lol i have spent almost 26 hours in patch .34 to no avail and alot of that ime has been spent risking my life on airfields mil bases ( some rather close calls lol)

Yeah i can agree that some of there choices seem wack( why bullet dispersion instead of sway for gun balance) Ithink for balance of the guns they should try to balance them directly to realisim and then do the balancing of them for game terms by there spawn rate and ammo available. But hey thats just IMHO...

yeah you had to make a split second assumption/decision there and for saftey you shot first id say good decision is there a chance he was innocent maybe he was maybe that guy attacked him but BUT is it worth your life to find out in a situation where you cant get a good advantage no its not. His clothes didnt make you shoot him your quick assesment of risk did cant ask for more than that.... BUT most people dont even do that its shoot on sight regardless of what your wearing( nothing wrong with kos if you want to) but to many people complain about kos then do it themselves but to make themselves feel like the cure rather than the problem they make bold assumptions based on what your clothes if you have a gun or not LOL .. I can call anyone i shoot a bandit doesnt make it corret that they are a bandit.( although with this mindset it be right alot lol)

Sounds like a reasonable idea seeing improvised weapons are also coming.. has no one noted that we are in alpha thus testing everything and strangely everytime there is a new weapon is it by strange coincidence that weapon becomes one of or the most common weapon found i think not.... every patch weapons seem to change both in spawn rate and in firing characteristics seems to me they are testing to well um get it right????

more customization in general yes so we can start to more and more look different... Might help for those complaining about accidental team killing to (although good communication should solve much of that.)

Why worry if these people think you look like a bandit as id say they would all KOS you with no contact what so ever( pretty much regardless of what ya wearing eg oh he has a gun threat bang bang..... A person who is willing to try find out if your a bandit would stalk you see what ya do maybe get jump on ya and try figure it out by talking to you rather than what your wearing.......... If you liked the look and it has as much gear slots as you want to have wear it nothing in the way of cloths will stop you from being KOSed any less people just make excuses for why they shoot you and say to themselves yeah got another bandit without knowing anything about you , your play style...

thanks i have no idea but i am glad you asked because i was starting to think it was my browser or my internet as i would try to log in and get an sql error???

Everyone is entitled to opinions and hey dont change your minds cause we dont agree with you...But by We i mean the majority of the player base Rocket and BIS they choose what difficulty levels are called what and what views etc are allowed in them.. Denial it isnt a river in egypt.... Edit who said hardcore was more elite your only person i have heard say that phillyt personally i prefer a greater challenge...

lol sorry i ran out of time for the test bed for me..(test tomorrow or when your ready) pbo the packed file format of a mod it sounds like your just directly changing the main files of the game with an alternate file yes?? if so never a good way to mod something... Yes i love the feature as well i was originally a battlefield 2 player back when you could mod the game (cant mod the new BF games or badcompany etc) the modding was what first brought me to arma. The possibilities are almost endless with a developer who not only allows but actively supports people modding... I have hundreds of hours in arma (non steam version it could be alot more than that ) but have probably as many in making models etc for it. I am one of those guys that when the game is open to modding will jump straight into making custom stuff for the game (and run a private server to host my version which no wont be easy mode 24/7 day 1000 vehicles etc etc.

No doubt it makes a level playing field we all have the same view ( give or take depending on FOV) 3pp allows looking over walls etc sure anyone can do it but the guy camping doing it has the advantage over the guy moving around.. 1pp if he can see you ,you can see him.. Oh of note anyone who watched rocket play his marathon stream over the weekend ( despite him seeming not that skilled sorry rocket ) must be TRUE HARDCORE as he played the whole time in first person and wasnt till his controls stuffed up that you saw he was playing on a 3pp server , Props i wouldnt try that..

Pm sent already know the results have tested before so i am looking forward to this :P Edit by testing a mean a failed modding attempt where i made a custom skin for my clan and it failed to work due to a naming error.... they had files with textures in it but just because i had changed the name of it in my files ( an after thought) they all saw the look on them but not on me...

LOL when/ if they add helicopters go land one in first person and then land one in third and talk to me about which is more difficult or baking a car in first person. Ill never change your opinion i am sure but that worries me little the widely accepted belief by players the devs and BIS in general is first person is harder.. Why am i so sure they think this well um 3pp is called regular first person is called hardcore play any arma game and when you choose the higher difficulty levels what happens oh you get locked to first person these are not opinions sorry there um FACTS try them in your arma games..

LOL i know how to add a custom skin hell i make models and textures have done for years and been playing arma for over 8 years,,,, I would have bet money that it didnt send out info from your client pc to server then to another pc why you say because if you wanted to be nasty you could code a bug designed to that when you play would infect everyones pc.... I dont doubt you can do it and to you on your pc has the look you made plus it would on anyone elses pc who had the same files named in the same way.. But i am still going to cry BULL on a client side pc recieving external files from another client side pc through a server ( many server use a drop box and will upload files to your game yeah that happens. But hey i could be wrong ( RV does have a strangely strong client vs server relationship hence why its one of the easiest games to hack... Lets test shall we i am happy to join you in a game of arma 2 you choose the server and ill join you there with your custom look if i see that custom look ill come here say sorry and eat heaps of humble pie.. If it turns out i am right (and i am damn sure i am ) then you come do the same deal...

No its not hard when you know what your doing...... When you are first starting out it can be dauntng many un familiar ideas etc yes we all know you can bandage by ripping your shirt of and turning it to rags but imagine how hard the game is when your new you get wacked by a zed and dont know what to do bleeding to death etc... Difficulty is relative is that a dificult concept to grasp????

How did it work in the mod most servers required a file check to authenticate game add to that visuals are client side eg thats why we have all the texture files models etc in our game so our game can load them.. It should have a client side pc seeing you with custom gear given a default look ???? You sure it wasnt a required mod of the server you were on ????

May be more effective when they do the intended stamina system ( weight plus health effects stamina) be great to pull away from a zed a bit then start to get tired but zed dont (damn i have to turn and face the music.....

No modding support plus even if you did mod the files and could get it to work only you would see the effects everyone on server would need the same files to see your look...... ( not going to bother going into other reasoning) Edit re read my post sounded negative sorry wasnt meaning to when mod support comes in then yes i am sure many people will be working on custom looks cloths etc etc the possibilities endless..

Lol if my character developed a limp in game from having taken shot to the leg etc sure id be slower running but id have that limp as a badge of honour the next bandit seeing might think easy prey a smarter one might thing hardened survivour....( they would both probably have a shot at me though and i end up with maybe a finger or 2 shot off making me slower to bandage etc id still push on.. The epic story of survivng where would it end what fate eventually befalls my grizzled bearded badass.....

The orange brick 2 story with the arch ( the second story is a fake can go up the stairs but not through door but often a gun at top of stairs,) there is also always a weapon on or by the side table ( not always a gun sometimes a melee ) food and ammo in the 2 connected rooms. Although yes that 2 story pub is also great just with luck i guess i have found more guns in the orange brick building i mentioned...

yeah it has its tension never been startled by a zed in 3pp ( yeah sometimes i play 3pp with friends who will only play 3pp) and paranoia lol i never use a mountain back pack in hardcore because i cant see behind me ..... They both have there place but i prefer hardcore ( but for the sensitive people here trying to say 3pp is harder ill call it first person only servers LOL

Ah i live on a farm and i tried out a 308 on a bible ( i had a mosin shot at close range 5m max the bullet was stopped by the bible in game). the results i got werent scientific by any means but what happened to the bible wouldnt have me brave enough to put one on my chest and get my wife to shoot it not even a 50 m shot lol....(have been shot wearing a vest before hurt like hell but it stopped it but then it was made to...) 308 comparable to mosin sorry i dont own an expensive 80 year old rifle...

I agree there is to much KOS i generally dont KOS except airfields mil bases to much tension there to walk away (well for me any way ) yes i would like the levels to reduce to a more realistic level BUT you say you want this to be more than just a game but your solution is to put a very gamey mechanic in ????? I am hoping things will balance out with what ever the devs have planned but time will tell,,a gamey and very exploitable system as shown in the mod is not the answer...
