atmaca (DayZ)

Ok I'm not gonna mention how you totally miss my argument and be like OMG HE JUST SAID K/D RATIO GO PLAY CALL OF DUTY OMGFSDA!!!1!! .... ok, now to the point: Game is designed to be cruel, not a deathmach. Killing other players for benefits =/= Deathmatching. They are two different things, you may kill other player for reasonable causes, I'm totally OK with that. But if you kill for no reason and without getting any benefit from it (including safety, supplies etc.), then you're immature and dumb enough to ruin the game you bought on the developement phase. You can't suggest me substitive game since there's no game that can grant same experience, but you can go play ArmA III if you wanna do more deathmatch. Also you did the same mistake as the guy above did. Read this: what is wrong with these people?

So last time I cornered a guy in a room, told him to surrender but he didn't. I was aiming at the door waiting for him to get out. Then I got shot on back of my head. So this guy just logged out, changed server, left the room, left the building and logged in to my server back again; briefly he just teleported on my backside. We need ideas, good ideas to solve this problem. I don't think a simple log out timer would solve this thing. Then the guy I mentioned can still log out while I was waiting outside and simply avoid that bad situation. I know there are other threads about this issue but I just want to combine all the ideas by putting them in a single thread so developers can read and evaluate ideas better. Some possible solutions by forum users: ZedsDeadBaby - Simple Solution to Loot Farming via Server Hopping ZedsDeadBaby - Spawn Zones Betweenaduck - Sleeping Here's my idea, I'm using the format below, you may do the same if you want I hope my idea will be helpful and I also expect you all to post your ideas. Please avoid text blocks or simple explanations like "put a 10 minute log off counter" or something. Try to explain you reason and mechanics by details, only then we may find the best solution. I also hope developers to read all this and come up with the best solution for everyone. Cheers!

Sorry for bump but there is a great thread on reddit that visualizes sleep idea. I know devs read reddit more so please thumb up that thread. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1ujhx2/how_to_discourage_combatlogging_ghosting/ Also here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqE323oibqk&feature=youtu.be cheers.

First read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man Then read my post again. - I never said they should put Karma system. - I never said game should be full of friendship - I never said killing for supplies is wrong Do it, read it again, even one more time if you still don't get it. I also kill for supplies or when I feel unsafe. I do even prefer killing instead of just trying to communicate most of the time because it's way too risky. That's not the kind of play I'm mentioning. I'm talking about scums who kill: -unarmed players -fresh-spawns -players who are obviously trying to avoid them or run -players who are trying to be friendly by communicating etc. That's right, people kill for different reasons. But there are wrong reasons to and most of the KoS are for wrong reasons in this game, which turns the game into a deathmach. I don't know, this might be too complex for you to understand. Beg my pardon if it is, next time I'll try to explain it even simplier.

seriously? Do I have to do this; argument: The people playing this game as deathmach are having fun because they think they are better than players they killed. However the real reason they are able to kill is that other players don't play the game like that. So if everyone plays it that way nobody will enjoy it since game is not designed to be played like this. Also the people started this will probably be the ones with worst K/D ratios because they are obviously unable to compete on an even gameplay enviroment and immature enough to post their miserable proud to internet platforms. got it? nope? then you deserve insults.

Seriously, bring RANDOM MILITARY AIR DROPS so that would be the ONLY place you can find military gear. DO IT ROCKET.

Just because you can kill unarmed newstarters or players who want to play the game peacefully doesn't mean you're talented. If you or shitheads like you turn this game into a deathmach, believe me you won't enjoy it since you'll be the one who stares at "you are dead" screen all the time.

Sanity system can surely prevent KoS while also adding depth into the game. Btw DayZ is just a game. Just face it.

Don't worry, character wipe or instant death bug will erase your gear anyway

Just drink bleach already

I want a gut that can: - Bring my lost session back - Stop people from combat logging and ghosting - and make my character animations better. Can you do that? would be awesome if you could put a gun like this into game.

Yeah I had to say it's obviously not made by a small team and it's singleplayer. I just wanted to point out it has a quite large map with enterable buildings with proper animations and almost no bugs in comparison to arma/dayz. Also, it's not fair to say DayZ had 1 year of developement time as a standalone most of the game is already taken from ArmA2. However, being a coder myself I absolutely know it's super easy to fix bugs and glitches we are experiencing right now. So stop saying "it's alpha". These simple bugs and clunkyness should have been fixed 1 year ago. I'm just disappointed. Let's list what they put over ArmA2 in 1 year period: - New inventory system - Weapon attachments (broken) - A new server/client system to an extend (broken) - Enterable buildings (broken) - New clothing system (doesn't work as it should be) - Some new items (almost all of them are broken / doesn't work) That's all... seriously? 1 year for this and they as for another 1,5 year to beta? SERIOUSLY? I knew all of this before and I bough the game knowing that just to help it improve. But seeing devs do almost nothing on every patch, makes me wonder if the complete game will be slightly better than this couple years after.

What the fu? http://i.imgur.com/57nhG4J.jpg?1

Why I want an auto-run key: Right now there are no vehicles so we have to run %90 of the play time.Holding W for 50 minutes is really giving my hands acheIt's not entertaining and really stupid to hold a single button, it's not a game nor a simulation element.You don't push buttons or use keyboard in real life action. (holding W is realistic lol)I could do it wih a macro or somehow block the "W" key but: I just don't want to, why would a game force me to use another software other than the game itself?That's something should already be implemented to alpha since DayZ is not meant to be played this way. There are vehicles in DayZ mod. Why people doN't want me to have a dedicated auto-run key They think holding a single button for one hour is realisticThey have nothing better to do than watch a guy running in the woods.They think me being careless and run while I'm afk could hurt the game (seriously?)They're just retarded.

Just kill urself please. Every military item including clothes should be VERY rare and spead through all map randomly.

"xendorway"

happened to me too. :0

I was thinking when I find a dead body I usually wonder how did he get here or what did he gone through. The idea is: players may carry a journal and player character automaticly writes significant things simply as he progress. It looks like this: Day 1: I'm in the woods. I see a small settlement. I found a plastic bottle. I saw a pond, used it fill my plastic bottle. I'm starving. I found a small backpack. Day 2: I saw a military compound. My sickness is getting worse, I just vomited. I'm really thirsty. I found a firefighter axe. Day 3: A zombie attacked me and bit my arm. I found a disinfectant spray. I have a funny taste in my mouth. Player may right click to journal to select "Update journal". Then character then writes down everthing happened from last update time to 20 minutes before of the current time. (just to make sure this function can't be abused in some situations) I know it's too complex and probably never gonna happen but I just thought it might be really cool :D So what do you guys think?

24 here, any chance? =)

In addition to random crash sites or miltary crates all around the map, some dead soldiers who carry military equipment would be nice too. The point is military equipment should NOT be in a specific and known place.

seems undergeared to me.

Well then let's add an option to disable walls either, since it f*cks the framerate in cities

Pushing teamwork won't help because bandits team up with real life friends too. We need some kind of punishment so they can't be like "omg I pwnd 10 bewmbies on balota cuz that's how I roll lololol". I don't care whether it's a holy thunder or a megazombie spawning just behind him. Any punishment can make him give up on that idea will do the job

Put randomly dropped military crates all around the map and make all military items spawn only there = problem solved.
