Oh, the chainsaw. Such a loud, brutal way to take something out. Yet so enjoyable. Its like instant, effective mutilation. A weapon that allows you to commit atrocity before you even finish killing with ease.

Lets hope we never get PvE or Pussified Private Hives (50000000 vehicools, self-bludbag, spawn with AS50, no zambies, 234053953295 helicoptas, hunger / thirsty removed!!1!)

This thread confused me, then I realized you were talking about the mod.

I want to be able to loot their clothes, helmets, and all that stuff. Military zombies should be a way to get REALLY SHITTY military clothes. Like, all ruined and stuff, maybe a bit of badly damaged stuff, you know, low chance of getting a working product. I really dig some of the zed's styles, though, and I want to BE JSUT LIKE THEM WHAN I GROW UP.

Can you trust a stranger with a loaded gun?
hannibaldaplaya replied to SentencedToBurn's topic in General Discussion
I only do this with random people I meet who go through the process of adding me on Steam or Skype. That way, the chance of betrayal drops, drastically. It shows that you want to be friends. Just my policy. -
The dirtiest tactic i have ever seen so far
hannibaldaplaya replied to TheHuntsMan87's topic in General Discussion
There was a guy in this thread saying they should be permanent banned for saying those things. I'll have to disagree. Sure, they're dickbags for doing it and deserve to get killed in game for it, but permabanning people for saying things will easily be abused. Before you know it calling someone an asshole will result in you have to buy the game again... -
Subsonic and Supersonic Rounds [Torchia Tweet]
hannibaldaplaya replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion
If they add reloading, you'll see people picking up the shells and brass from their fired rounds. People will go to Elektro or Airfields just to pick up empty shells on the ground. I'll attach a bucket to the side of my gun so that it catches all of them .:D -
Some sort of exploit/dupe for infinite mag capacity?

How to get people to join populated servers, and maybe even destroy loot-farm-servers
hannibaldaplaya replied to nudelwalker's topic in Suggestions
No, I am against zombies respawning when you kill them, UNLESS it is done rather far away. In my opinion, the map should be filled with many zombies that respawn overtime, not instantly after one is killed, that are attracted to gunfire and other noises, perhaps even moving in hoards. I am getting sick of zombies just plopping out of thin air, one for each zed I shoot. A gunshot in a popular area should be deadly, yes, but not because it instantly spawns in a zombie when you kill one with it, but because nearby, faraway zeds start moving towards your position. Plus, this would make low pop servers more dangerous. Why? A server with less players has more zombies, as less people are clearing it out. A respawn timer on the zombies that is reasonable and not instant would allow players to do a bit of clearing out. Plus, if the server loses all it players, by the time the next people come on, zombies will have respawned again. -
The TS3 overlay is proven to give your DayZ character cholera. Why? Because its useless.

we need to talk about the walkie talkies
hannibaldaplaya replied to irl-calibre's topic in General Discussion
Hey, guess what? I have a dog at my house, I have other people at my house who talk a lot, and I also have a mic that likes to pick all of that up too! I didn't know that my DayZ character barks, argues with itself using two different voices, and coughs like a maniac when he's perfectly healthy. -
That's a lot of short, journal-style posts.

EDITED: Are you happy with CURRENT zombie implementation?
hannibaldaplaya replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
The current zombies can not be avoided by stealth, which is the main issue I have with them. I also hate the fact that zombies magically spawn each time you kill one with a gun. No. Spawn zombies around towns and areas, and have them attracted to gunfire, instead of making them magically bloop out of the sky and come for you for each zombie you shoot. This is just plain stupid. -

Odd Occurrence, everyone in a server dies spontaneously
hannibaldaplaya replied to silvatos's topic in General Discussion
Why cant they just stick to the funny hacks like spamming music or forcing everyone to dance? ;_; -
(Rocket Stream) Did he say we can jump from public to private?
hannibaldaplaya replied to pacific_coast's topic in General Discussion
No, DayZ's persistent hive allows players to keep their character even after a server dies or if they want to play with a friend. -
Running with a zig zag inspired by LSD
hannibaldaplaya replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
He was OBVIOUSLY chasing the dragon. -
Think of it like this- Everytime a zombie hits you, your press vest snaps a picture, sends it to the nearby Chernarussian Channel 4 News center, and then upgrades your press vest for getting the materials.

I can already see the basic mod in SA already
hannibaldaplaya replied to TheWizard14's topic in General Discussion
The reason you are seeing people doing things they did in the mod is because- 1. We're on the same map. 2. DayZ SA's PVP is a lot like DayZ Mod's PVP, other then SA's fucked up ballistics. Sniping works, a lot of people like to sit on hills and shoot at freshies running through Elektro. Some people like to do this without a LRS, as well, and fancy using a super low FOV to get a huge zoom out of their iron sights. Is this a problem? Well, the low FOV super iron sight zoom exploit is a problem, but other then that, these players are just trying to 'snipe'. Something you might not agree with, but something they can do, as this is a sandbox. Remember, snipers aren't invincible. Other players aren't invincible. When you die, its due to a mistake, especially if you are armed. Always keep an eye on your back and utilize tactics when dealing with hostiles. A bad sniper can be easily flanked and taken out. The best part? Most snipers at Elektro are just that, bad snipers. -
will the bow and crossbow be a primery
hannibaldaplaya replied to hamzzzzzy's topic in General Discussion
Though I agree he should have died a long time ago, I don't think him using a crossbow should determine this. All weapons have their pros and cons. A crossbow does not mean certain death. It has its advantages, which is being quiet, and being able to retrieve ammunition if you track down where it hit. It isn't necessarily as effective against other survivors as a sniper rifle or an assault rifle, but it has its advantages against zombies and unaware survivors. It is also a unique weapon, and in a game like DayZ, some players will just pick certain weapons to mix things up and have some fun. The crossbow will be something I grab not because I think it will be reliable and versatile in combat, but because it will be something and different to use then, say, an M4A1 or an AKM. -
Would you like DayZ on Console?
hannibaldaplaya replied to GhostSlayer (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
DayZ should never port to console, for a few good reasons. A ) The Controller is not fit for the RV Engine's controls. What will be lean? What will be crouch? What will be prone? What will be raise weapon? Etc. B ) The Consoles would not be able to handle the game unless it was heavily optimized. C ) Games like DayZ can be incentives for console gamers to realize why they should buy a PC. It can open up their eyes and show them all of the exclusives, sales, and bonuses of gaming on a PC. This is a bit unlikely, though. D ) How would the inventory system be managed? EH?
