you would notice he was just standing there doing nothing waiting for a 15 second timer (or whatever timer they put to it)to run out as apposed to just standing there not going anywhere because he is locked up and has nowhhere to go ?? You have some special powers of observation i tip my hat to you cause i cant do that although again with you standing gaurding him in said cell to shoot if he is going to log LOL why does the door need to be locked you can shoot if he tries opening it just as easily detaining him . No offence i sort of know what ya want but it is not well thought out is all..

possible valid and i havent tested it if you log into another server while cuffed are you still cuffed ( or does it kill you ) cells could be done as a persistant state on a character so what ever server he goes to the door is indeed locked. But i doubt they would do it for the griefing abilities more likely again they would make it so it could be broken open rendering it fairly useless in many situations without posting a gaurd on them which then means you dont need to lock the door at all just leave the armed gaurd lol

Indeed realistic perhaps subject to a little to much griefing. Can i ask what your intentions are for this eg lock a person up un cell and just logg off for the night knowing you have ruined some guys chance of playing??? They would like cuffs have to make it viable to break out of them (which is not realistic at all but another example of having o add mechanics to lower griefing but yet still maintain an authentic experience. I wouldnt use realistic and Dayz together it has some points based on realisim but it is far far from realisitic if you think about it....

I agree and well look forward to say 3 years time when dayz craze has died down those playing the game still are looking for the unique experience that dayz can offer ( not a faster way to gear and pvp well not even pvp kos lol ). I know if given the chance to mod it i would mod it in a way that would make me have to work my ass off for my gear for survival be sitting looking at guys in the distance going i have only 3 bullets left do i waste it on him risking getting nothing for it and drawing a zombie horde on my butt for doing it. Oh wait i have crafted a bow i can make more arrows ( time consuming but possible) i could try take them out with this or heck he may have that one item i have looked for maybe he will trade maybe he is a bandit and i should waste one of my bullets as opposed to person kill him i have 500 bullets on me if i loose fighting him ill gear up again in 30 minutes . i do not believe that was the experience Rocket was going for when he thought of making dayz originaly it certainly didnt feel like that was the idea early in the mods life when loot was hard to find zeds seemed deadly and some people were fighting for life and still some were fighting to kill others for that hard to find loot etc.

I am sure the devs want far more people like you testing things looking for bugs etc you are far FAR more valuable than those using the current build as a death match game you have my beans keep up the investigation ( and reporting it via the tracker so devs can fix ulter stuff you find)

Yeah you could be right on that one i look at modding in a more purists sense so i guess i defend it as such. But indeed there is a risk of this people will head to the easy option ( no changing there mentality its something they have to decide for themselves.) But the people who move to these easier options are usually the same people who get bored of games and move onto the newest latest craze your going to loose most of these people any way . Dayz is getting huge popularity and its strange when it was made by rocket as a niche game a game not for everyone an anti game ( all his words maybe slightly paraphrased lol ) and yet people are screaming to stop modding so that everyone is forced to play there way its strange when some of the same people want to thave there choice in the game how they play i see double standards every where lol maybe time for a break from forums lol ...

Here is my biggest wish also to be honest i think dayz vanila is being watered down no offence to the vocal majority screaming more loot more loot, i want it harder i want survival to be a battle.... Answer ill mod it to fit how i want it harder much HARDER i will play it hopefully others will to if not then it dies a natural death not because a bunch of closed minded people want to hold one modders work sacred( rocket is was a modder yes i know he works for bis but he is a self confessed modder lol )

Strange those maps are mods so you just want to limit what can be modded then just the stuff you like??? easy answer make the mod yourself put it out for other people if they like it they will play it. You worry about the game dying because of mods?? strange mods have added longevity to many many games ( are they still being played in there vanila state yeah in small amounts but people are playing the game they have to buy the base game to play the mod we aint killing shit. What i hear is that maybe not enough people playing the game will want to play it the way you want ??? thats life mate if mods end up having bigger populations in them than vanila your choice is play vanila and hope more people join in or try out the mod people are playing ( you never know you may like it) I dont know why i keep replying in this thread maybe its because i am a modder oh and the guy above who says he has modded that other game pointing out he has done it for ages but suddenly for this game he is against it HONESTLY why ???? if you mod you mod to put things in you like YOU LIKE doesnt mean other will to but sometimes they do and they become popular so many new games have come out of modded versions of games Dayz being one example counter strike another. I believe you are not a modder because i cant see how a modder would be against modding does not makee sense to me but thats just me....

LOl nothing badass about zed boxing with how they currently are . I am not sure if it is just me but i find it easier to kill zeds boxing than i do with melee weapons ( apart from the 2 axe types). But that might just be me?????

when it is one on one i have actually gotten semi decent at punch killing zeds( timing shots hitting the head to knock them down ) the fun really starts when zed 1 draws another 1 or 2 to the boxing match. I had a desperate fresh spawn boxing match going with 3 zeds ( i had lost alot of blood i was getting hit to much desync or perhaps i was out of time this day boxing ) I saw a full armed guy with m4 and first thought i am saved ( stupid i know but i was having such a desperate fight for life lol ) true to form ( he was a good shot ill give him that ) about hundred meters away pop one shot black screen i am dead. I sit and listen to hear the next few shots to kill the zeds they never came i just have to wonder if your willing to waste a bullet on me as a bambi ( probably a kindness cause after had i won which i think i would have would have been a long haul to full healthy again lol ) why not waste a couple on zeds ??? Oh to answer the threads question lots never really counted, one of the first things i did when i got the game day one was practice zed boxing....

LOL the Zombie apoc the new battle ground of feminisim.(not saying feminisim and lesbianisim are the same its a joke) I wish you had recorded it i would have loved watching it..

I nevr argued for such systems merely pointing out an inncorrect assumption. I agree people deal with it differently hence we do have those who feel no empathy at all serial killers and such. I do wonder why you failed to quote the end part of my post?? Specultaion i point to someone who is already ( and i mean there rp of the game not personally although i wonder sometimes) suffering a serious mental disorder and said they dont need any penalties because they would not suffer frrom doing what they are doing as they have no empathy. Please read my posts i know they can be hard i so rarely use punctuation ( a flaw i just type quickly what i am saying in my head lol ) but so often my meaning is lost and people jump to there own conclusions.......

Actually if you had read some peoples posts on the whole mental stress thing (none are my suggestion) a few actually wish mental stress to include dealing with zeds with having to kill for defense against people and yes of course the punishment includes killing toruring people. I wonder at the end of the day who would be worse of mentally those fighting for there life to survive and a group systmatically torturing and killing people for there enjoyment ( doesnt sound like they need any penalties they sound mentally screwed already yes LOL)

LOL see an idea i like would actually make your play style for you more fun ,people would be more likely to surrender in hope of living( all those tortures you enjoy so much ) But as you wear such distinctive cloths people will just combat log on ya currently that is...

there are teleport hacks(scripts) and speed hacks(scripts) and many other types of scripted cheating ways although at current state there are alot desync problems which can make someone appear to be using these when they arent the vanish re apear move strangely fast all because your desynced..... Now about RV3 hmm to late to go use that engine ( and there has been some solid reasons not to . But yes incremental stances would be awesome and i hope rocket indeed does add these to the game which is possible they are still at base the same engine just had more work done to them . He is adding ragdoll( well is in his list to add) which is a feature of rv3 i am sure if enough of us want it and he wants it to no reason we cant see incremental stances. Lets not forget he has already used a decent number of assets from the newer version of the rv engine..

Now here is an honest answer LOL we could always well try one of those duels that one of the moderators made a thread about lol. Ya know the old fashion back to back 10 paces turn and shoot (most likely result of that though is bystander seeing 2 armed guys pistols drawn back to back will just shoot us both ). Not many situations in life or in Dayz is strictly fair ...

not having been there cant say for sure on anything lol but id say if they were hacking they wouldnt need to ghost because they could just teleport.. As for seeing someone up high from street level id guess your playing 3rd view server?? If so try for your self adjust your field of view as far back as it will go now when you lean forward it raises much much higher you would be amazed how high it can be raised lol Hence i only play (when i can ) on first person servers lol Oh desync can make a person seem to be ghosting infact i read nothing conclusive of cheating at all well except you admitting to combat logging. Again i wasnt there so i am guess based of what you have written and what i have experienced lol

Hence why my idea of skills starts you in the negative of what you can do. We are in effect superhumans now there is no skill any player cant do straight of the bat from spawn if he finds the gear..... I want it so you have a chance of failing at everything (most everything lol ) till you have tried it a so many times till your skill gets to what it is now perfect and only needing a pristine item to do it perfectly. Could make it even a little deeeper and have a past life skill that starts you at what your skill is now perfect in that field dependant on having a pristine item. eg mechanic would automaticly have the full skill to fix cars that we as fresh spawns have now ( when cars come in ofcourse. You all look at the idea of passive skills making it easier to play when i actually want them to make it harder to play but rewarding when you do and live to learn things that will help you survive up to a cap of our current spawn skill which is again perfect for every skill doesnt make sense to me....

a mind set developed from years of playing FPS games where the rule is it moves you kill it thats how you win. They bring the same idea to the game here and bam KOS goes wild. hard to un learn the habbits of years of shooting in fps and now it is what they expect what they enjoy this certainly isnt the only reason but id be guessing its quite a big one its merely the mindset of the majority.

I dont believe its his pc as well my specs are well above the required but sometimes when i log into a server i get a 0 on everything as in 0 ping 0 bandwidth 0 desync as in at that point it is so desync it doesnt even tell me what people have for ping etc everyone says 0. Usually fixes when i just pick another server and has only happened couple times but i think thats what he is getting lol If its that what he is getting on that server he wont be able to use or do anything doors dont register etc etc and generally just rubber band back to where you started ( i played like this for a while as my frames were smooth and i had no broken chain didnt know there wasa problem till i tried to draw my weapon . I cant be sure cause the 2 times this happened to me just picking another server fixed it completely .... EDIT perhaps something to do with having a shitty connection as well my net aint the best but honestly dont know

Any of there ideas intended features can be axed at this point I kinda hope a guy who is a modder at heart ( does it in his spare time to chill from making dayz) is not going to stop modding lol As for watered down achievement by playing a modded version lol depends on the modded version doesnt it?? some moddders have been known for making games far harder than the original game id be happy to last 10 days on a server running a modded version that had half the loot and more and tougher zeds but maybe i just want hardcore mode??? with a mod i could get that or that feature that never quite made it into the SA due to time ya da yda a mod might put it in even if it isnt done quite the same way rocket might have if he got to it. But sure you go on a 24/7 daytime 1000 vehicle etc server than well you are watering it ddown cause your obviously chasing quick loot to just pvp people or what ever it is you wanted lol.

plenty of herb on the farm here mate i might just join ya for that HIGH 5 lol ( non endorsement of illegal activities the opinions of the poster do not reflect real life)

Sounds perfect id game with him i can imagine now over the chat zombie dude, Wooo i think he hitting me dude ( tactical no but id find it fun lol peace brother .....

Hmmm there are a lot of factors to consider prevailing winds time this smell lasts strength of the smell ( eg can you really smell it etc etc) the base idea may be ok but i am getting the feeling some people believe there character to be well gifted like a dog. There are reasons man kind has been using dogs for hundreds and hundreds of years they have senses far greater than our own . I use a dog when i hunt he can smell way better than me track way better than me he can hear way better than me and is trained not to bark like an idiot but signal me of him sensing something. Actually can we add dogs into the game id like a survivour dog as a hunting partner lol ....

Its a strange day when i agree with hellcat but i do bring on the suffering make it hurt ( although some of giboonz ideas might be good to who knows if we tried them we might like them ) Also i agree with those stating if your always hurt your doing something wrong again am i the only sick twisted one who thinks getting back to healthy is well far to easy ????? EDIT yes i know its alpha and not fully implemented but as it stands its to easy yet people are complaining about the ill affects of being hurt when in less than 30 min you can be in tip top shape again (dependant on your damage and abilities to find sufficient food water etc which is easy)
