Didn't even bother to read your post after the thread title. Have you seen the sticky on this forum? did you search this topic? do you know this gets posted 10 times any given day? The devs are aware of the problem.

Can we get some stickies on this sub-forum explaining etiquette and rules of posting? I've nearly given up on this sub-forum because of the rampant re-posts and shit-posting. Stickie popular threads / idea's so they don't get re-posted within the hour.

This has been posted before. NO. IV / blood bagging is a quick solution to low blood, its quick because it requires a level of cooperation. if you want to "solo" then you have to get back blood the slow way, by eating and drinking food until it regenerates.

Its like i'm in the movie groundhog day, but its forum posts that keep repeating.

This, this, this. Why do so few people understand this?

So, you want to remove a core mechanic from the game and turn it into "looting and hiking sim 2014"? As long as you can't bring your baby-mode character into the real servers, whatever floats your boat dude.

Remove it, its unbalanced anyways.

I'd rather get quality content when they see fit than some arbitrary patch schedule.

You're either very slow or a troll. move along, nothing to see here.

Agreed 100%. As much as I love extra gear space I hate looking like a bandit out for a fight, would love some alternatives.

I agree, Days and nights should be long but not 1:1 by any means. Food and drink is fine IMO.

Been suggested before, still a good idea though.

Unless you're using sub-sonic ammo for the silenced version It should have zero effect on range. The only difference would be accuracy or handling because of the weight. Other than that, sure. These make great CQC and PDW's.

Agreed. At the same time though, I think its that obnoxious so it can give away your position if you're foolishly eating around players. Same with the loud drinking sounds.

Top quality post.

This has been suggested a number of times, and shot down.

No SKS?

There's this new fancy thing called a flashlight.

"Makeing DayZ harder" Is one of your tags. I LOVE THIS. I see SO many posts about "making DayZ easier" on this forum it makes me sick. Thank you for putting this together, its communities like yours that are going to make DayZ great.

No thanks.

Lets just shrink the map down to 1/4 its size, no more running! While we're at it, lets remove zombies from the game, because they really don't add to the gameplay and are more of an annoyance.

Yes, because its an alpha. Breaking a part of the game to fix something broken in the game is asinine. Be patient and let them fix it, or don't play the game until full release.

ALPHA. Also, No. Thirst and hunger are a part of the game, and you shouldn't be able to run all the way to NWAF without doing some survival first. Stop running near zombies and they won't see you, find an axe, play the game.

Add this so I can shoot people running through the woods not paying any attention to the game they are playing. I Actually don't want to see this, people are trying to turn DayZ into a game that plays itself. Back in my day we held that W key for hours, and we liked it.

This seems a bit silly. In a survival situation I would gladly eat the same food every day, day in day out, If in meant survival. If you get hungry enough, you don't care what it tastes like.
