@exwoll Yes the game lacks survival mechanics. There is nothing to struggle against environment wise. What the game doesn't lack is an outrageous amount of military grade weapon and ammunition to load it with. So people get to choose between non existing struggle to survive, and try to kill time in some other passive way, or just start killing each other for at least some amusement. But that shouldn't be worked around by unrealistic bullet damage. And given how we get 2 patches per year now, people get bored. And the most interesting thing dayz has to offer for most of the players is, hunting down other players.

@Funkmaster Rick I have to disagree with the statement that the game is based around not having that much interaction. Considered how centralised the loot is you either get too much of said interaction when you go to the hot spots or almost no interaction whatsoever if you keep to low loot parts of the map. There is no balance, there are hot zones and there are dead zones but there is nothing in between. Besides this game will die a slow death if there is too little interaction. Only the survival hermits will remain with their tomato plants. Loot should be only destroyed locally on players not globally. There is no reason for all items in his back pack, jacket and the vest becoming ruined from two measly bullets which is the case now. Am I really supposed to put that much effort into the game ? Surely not now, I can get fully geared in an hour and stash items for days on end, my characters live is not valuable, not one bit. Maybe in 5 to 10 years when the game is out and survival elements are implemented, but no not now.

What I mean t by that is that I don't like the identification idea, and I also don't think devs want to make this game "friendly behaviour" friendly.

It's that or just Deal with it .jpg

How is this realistic again ? You should only be recognise people you've met before and added as friend or introduced with, otherwise it's not realistic AT ALL. Please do walk me through the though process that led you to arrive at the conclusion that this system is realistic.

1. Not rotten corpses, but why not. 2. Yes, seems reasonable 3. That seems excessive, they are just human. 4. Interesting. 5. How exactly ? 6. Yes 7. Yes 8. Yes 9. Sure 10. Yes 11. Will eventually happen. 12. Yes 13. Was suggested before even by me. 14. Yes 15. Sure

This man, this man above me, he speaks the truth, give this man a beer.

Two short suggestions to consider for the clothing system to help with variable weather. 1. Layers (crude basic version to give you an idea) We divide clothes into three categories , light, medium, warm. Light is t shirts, shirts, skirts etc. Medium is hoodies, sweaters, tracksuit jackets etc. Warm is wool coat, m65, Hunting jacket etc. This gives us up to 3 layers (not including vests) that we can wear. In order to avoid achieving unrealistic storage capacity only top layer retains it's storage slots (maybe something small can be carried underneath it, like matches) System like that allows us to dress appropriately to any all weather condition without discarding our gear and maintaining a lot of empty space in the back pack to store the clothes. It's important given difference in weather between servers, and the fact that in future warm or water proof clothes will hopefully be very valuable. 2. Storing the clothes in our inventory. If I am wearing a m65 field jacket offering 4 x 2 storage and I want to put it away because the server I'm on is sunny and my characters is overheating I should be allowed to move it to my back pack with all it's contents, but when I do that it takes 4 x 2 is if I stored the items in the bag pack, this prevents us from magically increasing our inventory like we used to be able to while allowing us to dress accordingly to current weather. The other option is to allow us to tie the jacket around our waste without the items in it so that we can adjust our clothes for the current weather conditions without having to keep half of our back pack empty like we do now.

Well I hope they get it working it one way or another, because yesterday I was overheating with my clothes off in a rain while sitting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_sign#As_an_insult See the problem with gestures is they have different meaning in different places.

Spring and autumn have variable temperatures. I mean so do summer and winter but less.

Well than I'd more than happy to hear how do devs plan to tackle various weather conditions between servers. Unless the solution is "Server hop until you find one with weather that you're dressed for". As for "time intense" wouldn't have guessed that the devs are actually rushing things. sarcasm

Why are you flipping us off in your avatar picture ?

But if they dim the sun how else am I supposed to get my Kryptonian super powers ?

Sure but it would also be nice to get the game to 1.0 before I'm on the wrong side of 30.

How exactly is it realistic? I killed you and your entire squad, how does everyone else finds out ? Who told them if there was no eye witness ? All people find is a group of bodies with bullet holes in them. Is this some CSI bullshit where they take of their shades and say : - Zod and his man did this, we must find them and stop them before more innocent players die. Is this how they know ? Unless I put my kill videos around the web no one should know I am the sniper assassin. And this is a millionth time when we have a conversation about what to do with KoS. And for the millionth time the answer is LESS GUNS and MORE DANGER FROM ENVIRONMENT. Yes 3 years after I got this game there is still massive amount of guns and ammo lying around. Sure we slooooowly get more and more environmental hazards but until we have complete survival mechanics in place this game will be a shooter. You know why ? Because people don't want to plant tomatoes, sit by campfires and read books in the game. We might not want DayZ to be TPS either (and this is coming from me; I killed A LOT of people in this game) but I'm not playing the Walking Dead season 2 : the farm simulator. I want to struggle versus nature, but I don't want to lose the trill of meeting a stranger, no name displayed, no kos or hero costume, a stranger.

1. Reading books in game. I would rather stop playing games altogether than read books in game. Want to read ? Read in real life. 2. And another let's punish for killing post. I honestly lost the count but I think we need exponents to number those.

Oh the Mod so DayZ wasn't more pve earlier THE MOD was. But worry not devs are on it. Just sit tight at this rate we'll have diseases somewhere in 2020 when we hit beta, it'll be all downhill from that.

Is there a tv series that started by releasing a new episode on a weekly basis and than it got reduced to one episode per 6 months ?

And how do we stop people from using teamspeak ? Legitimately asking. Global chat is unrealistic and IS withing devs control thus we don't have it. Teamspeak is unrealistic but IT IS NOT within devs control.

I never been shot myself, but I'm guessing gunshot wounds without professional help are rather fatal more so without any help. And you don't get to lie around for hours waiting for deus ex machina rescue. Also I'm off for holidays in Phantom Zone, got councils to disband, World Engines to release and people to find, Zod signing off.

It doesn't help him because he owns a laptop, I'm going to make a wild assumption here that he either weighted pros and cons of laptop vs pc or got the laptop on some offer etc. I just don't like "ifs". Also SSD does not affect FPS whatsoever. His problems isn't that he has a laptop it's that the game went from DX10 to DX11 only, AFTER he got it. Expecting people to upgrade their hardware just like that isn't all that fair.

Unless he knows that desktops are better for gaming and yet still chose a laptop, I know a lot of people like that.

Me too, but I want to catch people, using AKM bullets as pokeballs.
