yes to this and well no to suicide bombs but thats just my opinion as well i thought this was a survival game (although it seems to be played by many as a deathmatch with some hidden kill count) blowing yourself up is kinda against survival but an interesting idea anyway enjoy my beans before you go and blow yourself up lol..

LOL now if i could only get you to re read some of the other posts you made then we would be golden ( the elves stuff up was magical pun intended) but i tip my hat to you in the regards i had over stepped what i believed your first post to be so now you get my beans but im afraid the rest of my sumation is dead on the mark and your lack of reply to it screams it in volumes i call this debate a draw then well played sir. But if you dont want hostility to your remarks dont make posts with the intent of making someone sound stupid Zombies fiction ( face palm )

Your passive aggresive a pet peeve of mine but in its not our ideas that matter but the devs so on that we agree have my beans as proof no hard feelings and im not being needlessly hostile, I am responding to what you wrote and giving it exactly the right measure to my mind considering the underlying tones of your intent. Zed children yes or no will be decided by devs (and them considering censorship) but your original post you stated out what you thought was the lore of this fiction and as you now have stated you dont know what the law is in regard to the setting so kinda makes your first post which you direcdted at me redundant...... Scratch giving you my beans as i am not being a dick unless the defintion of a dick is pointing out your obviously eductated but are not using cognitive thought to go with it and just spewing well crap.......

haswell 4770 gtx titan most settings vhigh ( disable clouds i aint flying and strangely i get fps spikes with them ) 30 to 35 in cities (30 at apartments) 80 or so running in the woods

Hmm im chilled just you spewed the you know zombies are fiction at me which is a clear stab at my intelligence. Alright your own arguement defeats your own point just re read what you just wrote about elves and how they are portrayed in 2 different types of fiction but there both still elves hint hint. I am confused at how people add 2 and 2 together and get 5 and again why because there portrayed slightly different which you youself has said can be done in different fictional settings( maybe your right they are infected but its strange to name your game that call it zombie survival and the second main foe in game (players being the main one) is not a zombie..

So people are more accepting of killing avatar adults hmmm bioshock never had a problem with children and that made it into australia. I hate mr you know zombies aint real LOL yes i know this is a game portraying a zed apoc so something can be realistic in a sci fi or horror way maybe if you actually used cognitive thought instead of being parrot educated....... Oh the Zombies in game are not zombies hmmm ok what do you think they are ?? infected like 28 days ?? that would be strange the game is called Dayz as in day zombie the devs call them zeds rocket calls them zeds so i guess that makes them zeds a little education again without cognitive thought is a dangerous thing....

IM sure its been suggested but at 36 pages i aint going to read it all but couldnt you just lock 3rd view to head hieght so you cant just lookdown 45% and get a 10 foot high camera(like having your own personal UAV). That way you can happily play in 3rd with no eploitive mechanic as in when i say head hieght i mean the head of your character so if you laying down you get the no more view other than peripheral than a first person view does. seems to easy to me but what do i know ah LOL

cant choose a bearded character to start your clean shaven but yes to beard growing in then the option to shave off but also to style into side burns a mo what ever lots options more custimisations to makee people look different (oh and for the love of god please give us more faces to choose from not just one face for one race of person....

hell the opening scenes of the walking dead first season has rick nail a child with a toy in its hand( a zed child) censors didnt stop that. it would be realistic to have children zeds and may even make it harder having to aim lower for a child zed head. This whole poor taste thing doesnt seem to wash as what its ok to kill hundreds of adult zeds it is fine to act like a raving mad man killing any human you see its fine to cuff someone drain them of blood feed them rotten food chemicals and or break legs and leave to be eaten by zeds. But oh no you cant hurt the children zeds that would be wrong LOL come on this is a game that simulates a zed apoc why no children.

even 10 to 15 zeds would make a scary thing if and when they fix zeds ( i also like many peoples ideas of there speed and yours coupled with stamina adds realisim and a fear factor).

Exactly what i was thinking it was most likely a guy with the same lame idea of fun as you logging back into his last left spot to do the same shit you were lol feel not the least for you at all really infact karma is a bitch LOL Oh and when they log in there is the reload sound while they are coming if you were any good that gave you time to run move or kill him to busy looking down a scope at guys in jeans and a tshirt to notice....

Strange its my experience that the same people who roam the coast looking for weak sport that are the bambi spawns are usually the same guys who log out madly when faced with a group or individuals who armed as well as they are and are firing back. Stop crying cause you lost your easy sport shooting unarmed guys on sight and head a little north on a heavy pop server and find some real sport. Oh but when you do it just remember your crying about combat logging when you go oh shit we out matched and hit the exit button and in turn come back and now cry about KOS players.

There is no balance for this it is intended you wont know who is who unless you look at them and recognise them or they signal you its them. Dont try take the realisim out of the game cause you want to make it easier lol . This is one of the worst ideas i have ever heard for dayz it has no place in reality or in a game simulating an ulternate reality where zombies exist authentcly. For group recognition im not against finding in game arm bands(or using bandanas as such ) but these would have to be found in game to get all matching colours but even then a stranger by chance could wear the same arm band its realistic its balanced no arcade crap please....

All for a first person server i am sorry but the 3rd person in arma/dayz has always been an exploit yes one everyone can use but those who decide to camp from behind walls and use angle to see everything around them (thats impossible to see unless peaking out and in some cases not even then ) its well just cheap as you know you cant be seen its just wait wait theres another time to blast away. The game is far more intense in first person honestly if they locked it now to just first person alot of people would complain may even loose a few people playing it but i think many in the end would value it greater (plus it would premote team work your view now is what you can see and what your friend can see and relay to you from his spot rather than your magical periscope. Speaking of periscope always did want a mirror or such to peak around corners far more realistic way of seeing without risk than 3rd person lol ..

Honestly i would like to see a huge array of weapons in game (if loot is your level in game then there needs to be variety to make it interesting) its the rarity that matters i dont want to see large bands of guys mil armed and with only 2 or 3 weapons always seen. There should be far more civilian guns floating around double barrel shot guns hunting rifles various pistols of a civ nature(and country of origin in rarity eg you find russian civ and mil weapons more than some of these exotics but the exotics should be there in microscopic amounts for that super rare find. But i have faith in the devs that they will find a happy medium of what there putting in.

Then instead of looking for a clan maybe you should start your own as you will server admin (although this leads or can lead to admin abuse). There are plenty of lone wolf Australian players who would happily join a clan/server specially when any sort of base building storage etc comes online. PS im a kiwi by birth but been living in Aus for 26 years now that kinda makes me Aussie LOL. EDIT you mean you have ordered a public server as unless i am wrong there are no private servers yet merely public ones you can get.

Not so keen on the idea of weekly patches lol why character wipes and i feel many of the patches will require this as many people carrying items etc that have changed so we will be starting a fresh. I would like a prior warning of a patch doing a wipe so instead of playing safe with my characters i can go hey patch tomorrow clean slate and by this then go time to head back south and join the safari shooting down there and havee some fun squeezing of a few hundred rounds on the m4 (or much less if im shot sooner lol ).

Please find a better place to log out if you log out in high traffic are then sorry i feel your asking to get shot stabbed bashed while logging in.. I understand your login took much longer than usual but then if you had logged in safe place would not have been a problem would it... I always have to log out in safe place as i seem to find when i log in (which doesnt take that long ) i usually desync for the first minute lol and i mean to the point it wont register any actions i do other than moving (eg i cant pull gun or melee out , bandage etc so i have to log out in safe place its just a good habbit to get into . Yeah i know real life sometimes mean you have to go there and then which sadly means when ya come back you may loose your character it aint perfect but its what we got.

the perfect reason why characters need to be set to server or make it much harder to jump so often . Your probably saying why i just want to loot well as you said loot doesnt respawn and well instead of learning to go new places eg north into the wide world your going to strip the coast then jump a server strip that coast so on and then we get more people who come here going theres no loot . Sorry this style play is just an ever descending circle i dont want to stop people from changing server to meet up with friends etc but just hoping for loot is well in my opinion just BAD(id like to use other language but cant lol )

Im all for it and if the 12 year olds cry does it matter?? alot of people have had a cry on this forum (many alot older than 12)and yet the game still moves forward. Id like this 1 cause i was an ace fan LOL (not that good a shot but alright) it would stop alot of long range sniper kills by um so called bandits (kos) well atleast till they took the time to learn to actually shoot and then well by gum you deserved to pop me in the head from 800 m. Im all for any elements that add depth to this game and as far as it ruining gameplay LOL didnt rocket say this was an anti game lol .

LOL maybe you miss understood me i like your idea alot would love to see it implemented ( i can see it now i just found a dead guy looted him as well he already dead he dont need those sunnies anymore and then 2 min later i meet someone and try to be friendly which gets me shot alot lol and they think im bandit because of blood trying to talk my way out of being executed brilliant). My point was more for the OP as in what he wanted to achieve by seeing a difference in a bandit was he hoping to stop limit pvp kos etc and if so it wont stop it or probably wont even lessen it ( many guys playing the mod to get the bandit skin and were proud to be and known to be a bandit and more power to them ) Edit I gave you my beans for the idea its brilliant in the same style as damage to goods being damaged when shot also brilliant i am just asking if the OP thinks its a cure for anything or a immersion factor spotting bandits

Welcome to the balota safari were we provide an abundant supply of bambis to shoot lol . Its normal hell even healthy to feel paranoid( healthy in regards to keeping you avatar alive in game lol ) when in an area like this my only question is why on earth didnt you listen to your paranoia and move away from balota in the safest manner (give it a wide birth to go round as i have been nailed by bandits as i went just north of it going through trees and well ran head first into them (my own damn fault to lazy to travel another 500 meters to get clear of the place lol ).

i like this idea alot more for the immersion factor cause as far as spotting a bandit goes you get that close to see his bloody hands your going to get shot LOL. I am wondering what is it you wish to achieve with bandit visibilty ?? because what we mostly have and i apologise to you real roadside hold a mofo up kinda guys, is shoot on sight and half the time not even check the body LOL if bandits where desperate for what you had in way of food drink etc they would hold off shooting as last resort. But honestly a real life bandit cant be spotted as well they can look like anything ( take a look at police records on armed robberies they are as varied as they are often eg we had one here who wore a nice suit and tie and would pretend to be a buisness man to get inside while store was opening up and bam out the suitcase comes the hand gun ... Again i like the idea of bloody cloths hands from looting body etc for the cool factor and uses for water realisim etc but before you implement anything to spot a bandit ask yourself what will you achieve in seeing there a bandit(if you see them at all before they shoot you.)

My critic of your music is more related to my age than to your music lol so sorry on that. Speedofsound actually isnt bad at all doesnt in my opinion ( opinions are like bum holes we all have one) doesnt rate compared to JSRS again opinion . But maybe your a little butt hurt that speedofsound was taking off in the mod world till oh yeah thats right JSRS came out and the people who have played arma for many (to many LOL ) years all flocked to the sound mod that we knew was quality . I believe the Dayz devs have only just gotten a sound guy on board ( can anyone confirm deny this) and if thats the case im more than happy to wait and see what he does with ( i hope we can all agree on this ) currently lack luster sound ( hey its an alpha i aint complaining.......

Your techno Sucks the wang big time on the other hand JSRS is an epic sound mod for arma i honestly couldnt go back to vanila sounds in arma 3 (or 2 ) the guy does an awesome job of adding immersion through sound. Again unlike the disaster of noise you call music applejaxc.
