Well if bohemia would do something to enforce it server rules : aka no locked server, than maybe admins could get more rights, but since bohemia has shown that they care very little about that, which they proved with their answer to the problem being : report the server to the providers, because it's not our job. Than maybe admins could get more power. But I'm against it since most of them are fucking assholes who turn their server is private loot farms. Which for now is against the rules.

Well in polish you have a quasi russian saying : gniotsa nie łamiotsa, which would be - bend not break. Which is used to describe items that are pretty much unbreakable, which refers to hallmark of russian (or soviet union) products, they are very hard to break. AK47 being best example of that.

Oh poor you, would you like a lollipop ? What favour ? Strawberry or deal with it ?

Yes lets give the asshole admins who lock their servers or kick players from their private loot farms even more power.

Fixed

The only clothes that should provide anti bullet protection are Press vest - for obvious reasons Track suits - because that's a marvel of slav tech

I wouldn't say nothing, yes the bullet would still go trough and do the damage, but some of it's kinetic energy would be lost in the process.

Nonetheless youtube suck with their regional block.

Nor is getting shot in a chest with a round with that much power, and all you need is a bandage to patch yourself up. What we need to consider here is what type of ammo we have here, is it full metal jacket or soft-tip? Metal jacketed bullets have a very limited capacity to expand. This generally makes the bullet pierce through a soft target, often leading to less severe wounding, and possibly failing to disable the target. But if those bullets are soft points, than there is a very low chance of survival getting hit in the chest or abdomen. Soft-tipped bullets are designed to expand upon impact, which means they will transfer most if not all of their energy into the body. And that's over 3500 J of energy. Even getting hit with FMJ to the chest /abdomen will do enough damage that without professional medical help your chances of survival or very low if not non existent.

Appeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressive. He understands only one language - action. And he respects only one word - force

Well I was shot on top of grey apartment building while crouching, when I came back for I lied down, so maybe they didn't have clear shot, or they moved out.

Was shot yesterday wearing press vest and a dallas mask. Died instantly. meaning it was a head shot, since press vest will absorb one mosin bullet. Got my gear back, not a single item was ruined.

Well last time I got captured by 3 armed guys, started calmly, asking my name where I form. Than they started trying to humiliate me by asking me to call myself a bitch. I gave them the finger and punched the nearest one, ended up dead. I will never become someone else's play toy just to save a bunch of pixels on my monitor. Death before dishonour.

I must disagree, there is a difference between killing to feel safe or because I want your loot and killing for shits and giggles. Killing for loot is risky because I can ruin it. Killing to feel safe, is more of a mexican stand off that went wrong. Killing for fun is just killing because I want to, because I'm bored have 600 M4 bullets and I won't even bother looting you. First two come from necessity, and large numbers of zeds will affect them, because will those few beans worth not being able to loot the town because there is 30 zeds chasing me ? Is that guy more of a threat to me that a horde of zeds ?

Yes, but larger numbers of zeds and much less will make killing for your fun and misery of others far less common, which is a problem now. Killing for sources will never stop.

Every game with large maps has this problem, and so for there is no good solution, because if you force same draw distance on all players, those with weaker PCs will have low fps.

Yup Imma combat log right now.

Funny how the thread about the good things is about future content, sort of indicating that all the whining about games current state is justified.

Bottle of vodka, with track suit already in game : Slavs all over the world rejoice.

I have a better suggestion

Agree, things like gunshot wounds, fractures etc. should have long term effects, making you slower, weaker. That being said applying splint should make you able to walk, but sprinting should be out for some time, obviously those things should be implemented only when things like fall damage and death trap stairs and ladders are fixed.

True he shoots you, uses up most of his ammo, and find out that either had no ammo, he ruined it or you had a different type of ammo, no more kos for him, and that's on top of alerting nearby players and zeds, keep in mind that we will have 100 players servers and much more zeds. So will wasting half of my bullets for all the be a good decision ? Probably not.

Bots, trading areas, factions. Sounds like a complete opposite of what DayZ is supposed to be.

What if their form of interaction is killing players before they can become threat to them ? I personally don't kill newbies or guys without firearms unless they do something stupid. But I don't think twice before shooting armed players. Too many time I died from "friendly" player or because I hesitated. It has nothing to do with cod or bf, hell I don't even play that crap. Outside of my team I don't trust anyone. So you can write all you want about how dayz is about interaction, but the truth is - ammunition is so over abundant people are trigger happy, and why wouldn't they, but if all they had was only a handful of bullets they would be much more less likely to shoot everyone they meet. So stop blaming it on people thinking it's cod, and realize the true source of shooting on sight.

What the guys above said, 99% of surrenders end with death. If you're gonna go down:Go loud!Go strong!Go proud!
