Hello, how's it going? So with DayZ aiming for a realistic feel, the majority/most also wanting the game to be as realistic as possible, I thought of an idea. Now before we begin, I am not going to suggest things such as illegal drugs (Marijuana, Cocaine, Meth, etc). I don't really see the need for those drugs in the game really, I could imagine already see the "Breaking Bad Simulator" jokes if Meth was ever implemented, but I'm getting sidetracked. My idea was that your character could overdose, if they were to take too much medication at once. I've seen cases in the game where somebody will be injured, and they'll just spam as many painkillers or antibiotics down their characters throat as they can. Anything to try and get their character 'healthy' again. Perhaps by overdosing, your character would pass out for a while - where you could be injected with an Epi-Pen to wake back up, as usual. Of course, if this doesn't work, your character could just die. It would add caution to Medicine and such, so you don't just use as many and as much as you can when you're hurt. Aside from that, it's more of a rough idea/suggestion. If you think there is anything that could be added/changed to it, go right ahead.

Yeah, I think at the worst you'll just get sick from it, which I think would be a good punishment for spamming Antibiotics into your character.

If it was a guy in that scenario instead and you shot him, would you feel bad? If so, then fair enough. What difference does it make that you shot a girl? You could have just went your separate ways, but instead you handcuffed her and sound fairly surprised when she catches on - shooting you. To be fair, if a random survivor attempted to handcuff me, I would shoot them without questions asked, I'm just surprised it took her that long to react, otherwise she would have had the upper hand. You refer to girls as 'them' as if they're some kind of alien species that cannot comprehend video games. Come on guys - girls play video games too, it's not much of a surprise and is no reason to white knight for any girl you see, otherwise you'll find yourself being shot down. It's like on Xbox Live when a girl enters the lobby and all the guys in the lobby swarm them as like a creepy pack of wolves. I'm not trying to white knight or anything, I'm just making a point. Gender shouldn't matter in video games.

This may have been mentioned before, but I mainly skimmed through the topic. Most of the time, people are held up and handcuffed so bandits can rob them easily without any risk of the victim pulling out a weapon, sounds fair. However, if given the choice between dying and losing your stuff or having a bandit steal your stuff - either way you're still losing your loot. I understand your point, you don't get why people would rather die then to continue living, but it's up to the victim and what they would rather have. Also remember that there are some irrational bandits who will handcuff you, rob you of your loot and then kill you (Whether by gunshot, forcing disinfectant down your throat or any other ways to kill). With that in mind, people would rather go down quickly then wait.

What if somebody shoots at you, you shoot back and kill them. I don't see why you should be punished for simply retaliating to an attempting KOS. Considering that many focus on the realism of the game, having some kind of luck system (Shoot somebody with a chance you'll die) wouldn't prove realistic. Not really. In a situation where weapons, ammo, food and shelter becomes scarce and all while the undead roam the land looking for new food (you), people would be very willing to kill others - even at random. Anything to keep themselves surviving.

Why does it bug you? There are many players who aren't apart of the forum that play the Standalone, this forum also having over 160,000 which is a lot, but compared to the million that have bought the Standalone, what about them? I'd easily say that with the large amount of active members on the forums too, the DayZ community will do fine without this one person posting bug reports. However I'm getting a bit off the topic though and wouldn't want to derail anything.

I don't see any issue with posting a friends problem. If the friend has no interest in the forum, what's the point in making an account and wasting time to make one post, only to never return. However, I can vouch for him by saying that I also know this friend. In no way is this is a conspiracy or a lie of some sort.

Throwing rocks would be interesting, you could throw a rock at a wall across the street, provoking any zombie nearby to investigate. I like the idea! Smoke Grenades would be good for surprising any other players, giving you the upper hand.

I agree, and seeing as the soundtrack would constantly play the same tracks over and over again, it got fairly repetitive very quickly. A new soundtrack is needed for the SA. For me, soundtracks are a large part for games and movies. I feel like the SA needs far more soundtracks than the mod, and it needs a specific theme to it.

I'm sure it's not entirely impossible for somebody to stumble upon an 'FPS Booster', curiously downloading it and then finding out their account is then banned. Who knows, maybe the website had positive feedback, but that's just speculation.

The mod isn't absolutely ridden with hackers, it is still very playable and from what I've heard, the SA has it's fair share of hackers, although I haven't seen any yet.

Aside from the popular answer of 'everybody being equal', which I agree with. People would hunt down players specificially wearing that vest just to make broadcasters and Youtubers extremely butthurt.

It would put a use to the flashlights too, as it would be very dark. It would actually be really intense to be chased by enemies through the sewers - human or not. I really like the idea, maybe have a few manholes in the city where you can climb down into.

To be fair, in the older Resident Evil games there weren't particially a lot of zombies in every room, just sayin'. For special infected, while it's good in Resident Evil (Although there aren't exactly different zombies types, unless you count the Crimson Heads from the Remake) and Left 4 Dead, the idea doesn't sit very well for me. Your idea about acid-spitting zombies would be interesting (Like the Spitter from L4D2), but I could imagine it being irritating if it happened in a building. However, the idea of zombies with different conditions would be interesting. Such as fatter zombies running slower and zombies dressed in military gear take more bullets to put down.

Ever since last Monday, 13 hours. Bought it on release date but was on holiday until last Sunday, otherwise it would be much more.

If you're in need of a headset, you can pick them up for cheap prices. I've had mics with fairly good quality that were under £20.

"Yeah, you'd like to do that you creepy bastard..." That line was brilliant, made me laugh. Great video, definitely an interesting idea.

I actually questioned if it was possible to do this a few days ago, that's hilarious.

Good video, he definitely wasn't having a great day. I like the handcuffs in the game, as you said it encourages less KOS kills and is an interesting concept, I've seen some harsh situations where players will handcuff their hostage and leave them there to starve.

My two deaths so far have been because of glitching through walls in second story apartments and dying. Unfortunately both times I've had decent equipment, however I've been avoiding those buildings.

Joining a server the other day, I came across an M4A1 in one of the school classrooms which I found fairly strange but didn't question the opportunity anyway.

10/10 story, would love to see an adaptation staring Nicholas Cage and Macaulay Culkin, teaming up for the most explosive action blockbuster of 2014. Hilarious story, people need to tone it down a little and understand when humor is there.

There is a lot of focus on military weapons, how about civilian weapons? How about this? It could be found in a houses. Two bullets, not too powerful and not made for fighting head on. A weapon like this would be one that you would find in an abandoned household and think: "Well, I guess it will have to do..." What do you think?

I was going to suggest that also, as all of the male characters begin with short hair, perhaps their hair and beard will grow the longer they're alive?

While interesting in the movies, having all of the loot in the middle would be silly in the game because it could be easily exploited by the other players. Imagine if somebody got hold of a gun in the middle and just camped it out as players would eventually run in attempting to get supplies. They would get shot and it would be an easy victory.
