Just bumping.... You have been alive for XX hours. You have wasted XX lives and your average life time is XX hours. All this time you have managed staying alive for XXX hours for once.

Read the text before hitting "OK" button when you launch the game...

That And the helmet needs to be replaced. :D

Well, IMO, just to show you were here for long time and experienced. It would be; a scar in the face, Eye band on the left eye, Missing finger on a hand, closed bullet wound in the arm, Which will just stay on your body, will just reflect your experience. Nothing less nothing more. Also this can be used by the account age or the play time, not only for alpha buyers. after a month you get a small scar, after 6 months you can get a missing finger, 1 year an eye band 2 years closed bullet wound and so on... You got the idea.

I have not tested with bullets yet. But the tactical vest looks different when left on ground. It stands still just like if there was a torso in it. Also its look, on the sides and back is much more like it is a bullet proof vest. Which pushes me to think it might have some different properties. Other than that it has same tool tip with UK assault vest and 8 storage slots. By the hope, it would stop a bullet, I left my assault vest on the ground and picked this black vest. When I get shot, I will let you know the outcome too :)

You really deserve getting KoS, don't you ? :D

Thanks for replying. As the game is in development, discussing things would help it get better and every idea worth reading or giving a thought. Here is a fact why i ask for a little more players on this map; I spawned close to factory, at east. Ran in to construction, looted, kept heading north till i reach the air port. From there i ran to black mountain, then the castle. From there I ran to communication tower or what ever it is called. From there to a major city and down to the military base. I finally logged out in bush around military base. Server population was 30-35, I have seen 0 people. I have shot around 15 zombies. So IMO we clearly need more players... Or I can just run back to shore get a camping position on good sniping position and shot the ducks which is quite pointless for me and I would never prefer to do so. Other things that I was talking about are just things that can increase the flavor of the game for the explorers like me.

That is right, I respect the people that does not combat log and thank to those who does not server hop. When I got shot, I try to take cover and bandage up... But death lurks everywhere.

I made my thinking and spoke the come out. I can understand that you have no idea about servers, bandwidths, hardware and just talk on your experience with silly FPS hosts. With today's hardware even 10k is possible, all you need to do is adjust your codes while your game is at development state, just like in alpha...

I work around 70 hours in a week, spent a lot of time taking my dog out and other daily stuff. I also must mention that I started DayZ with SA and never played the mod. Yet; I never died because of hunger or thirst, never ruined a can because of lacking can opener. Never been killed by a zombie, Never had issue finding a fire axe. Never server hoped. I like the way how rare loot is. But I would love to get a system which cant be abused so easily with somewhat same or less level or loot.

Been there done that both ways as the hunter and the hunt.

Game is already MMO, it is not just another MMORPG. I like it this way but creating a richer game play will not harm the game anyway.

I actually liked the idea. But just thinking how it would effect the game if applied. You would see players standing in a corner, applying all the bandages he found to get skill on that. Or a military guy doing reloading and shooting to empty fields just to get better handling... This would become some kind of macro farming. However, I would love finding recipes for cooking, guides for defibrillator, or a guide to repair a car. Which would let you do things you could not do before. Which would be consumed when used so players will have to interact to have the knowledge they had besides than taking those from pockets of corpses...

I just had my first automatic rifle and took some shots with it, i might have even killed one. I definitely felt the power of gunpowder! But today it came to my face and I had to share it here. Why do i find a M16 instead of an AK47? IMO even today if we try to find a weapon in Russia, I am sure you can find hundreds of AK47 and if you are lucky one or two M16... Aint that weird?

I know that, I just wanted to share the fact and placed in general chat not under suggestions or development etc.

Going down would be faster, I agree that. Falling when running would never hurt more than a bullet in your head. Going back up is another story and its speed is right as it should be.

Today, we were on hunt for the food and some medical supplies by 3 of us. I yelled "STOP, STOP or i will shoot you down!" I do not know if he was deaf but he kept moving. Now I know that he is death for good... Sometimes you just have to stop and put your hands up instead of trying to talk and moving around. On the other hand, there are 3-4 zombies in cities and they not likely to be able to kill anything and if players were not killing each other for food or water or loot, at this stage, the game can not be a survival game.

When i saw your post, I understand that you have no idea of the samples of MMO i mentioned and what an RPG means...

MMO stands for Massive Multiplayer Online not for Massive Map Online. :)

I am sure they did, I just wanted to give my thoughts out as an old gamer who have seen first days of computer gaming and grown with games. I like DayZ now and I will be around to try getting at a better spot.
