General Zod

And a lot of people disagreed with log off spots. "But Rust has that" well this isn't rust. Here is a simple solution for both of you. As long as there is even one more person on the server assume they are right next to you. Assume that just because the room was empty 2 minutes ago it might not be empty now. We could add a sound effect to both logging in and out to prevent combat logging and surprised log out behind someones back.

I would gladly update if the free update wouldn't come with compulsory "telemetry" which just a nice term for we want your data and as well as forced updates. Win 10 still has problems connecting to a free wifi which requires to open a website to connect but hey at least they added a weather widget. Also dropping a OS is one thing even if doubt it was dropped for some major increase in functionality or graphics quality, but dropping it without warning just perfectly sums up 10 years of dayz development.

You should be able to put a full backpack both in the boot or on the back seat, not only that passengers should be able to use some guns to shoot out of the gun, VSD or Lar might be too big, but pistols and smgs definitely should allow that.

In real life you wouldn't even have thse 4 shots. The one to land the first one or two is the winner. And snipers in game already have too big of a damage drop off, 7,62 not killing unarmoured players at 500 metres is a joke.

I am following the conversation. If the characters can move between them then they are not treated as different and / or separate. And it's a good thing the devs don't see it that way. Just because you think that's how it should be doesn't make it the right solution to the problem of duping. And the only thing I'm gonna lay off is continuing this conversation.

Sure, but in real life cigs don't give you any actual benefits apart from maybe calming your nerves once you're already hooked on them. Since there are no nerves in game mechanics I wonder what's the point of adding them ?

Clearly not since the characters do carry over. But thanks for playing.

I was being sarcastic. Because it takes a very long time for smokers to die barring a somewhat rare case of very aggressive cancer which still takes years. No way your character could live in game for this long, if other players or bugs won't get you a wipe will.

I comprehend well enough, you want to limit everyone to one character per server because few people break the rules and use exploits to copy items. I am against placing any and all restrictions on players simply because the game was coding issues that allow such exploits to exist. My rebuttal is that the part of the game code that allows such exploits should be rewritten is such manner that those exploits are no longer possible rather than enforcing limitation on rule abiding players.

You did nothing wrong but some people do use in game exploits to duplicate items so you're denied access to all the progress you made in the game because the server you want to play is full or laggy at the moment. And that's because instead of fixing the underlying issues we decided to place a blanket restriction on everyone. That's like a exam board at uni saying that because few students cheated on their finals everyone will be forced to retake their exams with different questions. The sins of the few should not enforce restrictions on the many.

It is a punishment, I and many other players don't have the time or won't invest the time to gear up several different characters simply because the game allows exploits. Exploits should be eliminated by fixing whatever makes them possible in the first place, not by restricting rule abiding players. If I want to play with 2 of my friends and the server on which we normally play has 30 people queue we won't want to each start fresh on a new server on a different side of the map. If you want to stop duping get devs to patch the part of the game code that allows duping. I'm glad devs ignore suggestions like this, and we had a lot of stupid ideas here over the years, the game not starting unless you have a mic, anti cheat system that constantly views what processes run on your pc, just to name couple.

By wasting my time, forcing me to spend hours to have multiple geared characters. Which on top of cheaters, and dying to random bugs such as cars or falling from heights when I try to climb is wasting even more time. This no different than trying to add log out zones to stop combat logging, another over the top solution. Duping items shouldn't be possible in the first place, it is and devs should fix it. What we shouldn't do is force players to start fresh when their server isn't accessible for whatever reason simply because of another problem with the game itself.

As if people will go start fresh when the server on which they have a geared player or even a base is full. They'll just go play something else. Another idea to fix broken in game mechanics by punishing rule abiding players.

And what did you light the cigarette with ? What ever you used can be used to light the fire. I don't see a point in adding a cigarettes. Adds nothing to gameplay, and wastes the time of the only 2 devs working on the important staff.

I'm adding to a suggestion, bullet wounds should depend on bullet type, .308 would be the high damage for players and animals where no armour is involved but with relatively low penetration for amour. 5.56 and 5.45 would be better for armoured player and players behind something like doors, but weaker against soft targets. Currently the only distinction I think there is the Headshot (the brain hitbox) Body and lastly Limb which can result in fracture. I do agree that bullet damage both short and long term should be reworked, gunshot wounds impact players for too short amount of time, unless you get a fracture, if you have a blood bag you'll recover from being shot in very little time which makes non fatal gunfights have almost no consequences. It should take far longer to recover from being shot even once with small calibre bullets. Being shot in a limb should case that limb to be very impaired at first, and then slowly progressing from severely to moderately to low to fully functional. Being shot in the torso should be a huge long term impediment.

Realistically in a DayZ scenario aka no advanced medical treatment being available most gunshot wounds to the torso would be fatal. You'd have to be very lucky and hit with a right type of bullet to make it out alive. Hunting bullets are soft and expand on impact meaning massive tissue damage, extensive internal bleeding and shock from the impact itself would kill if not outright than in minutes. (source: I hunt big game with .308 and 30-06) If those bullets are strong enough to drop a 300kg dear where it stands they'll definitely drop a human. Military bullets are generally FMJ and smaller calibre which means they have a better penetration but far less expansion and while that's good for targets wearing body armour or being behind door some other cover it also means that the bullet can hit a soft target and exit the other side doing little damage. Most damage from the bullet comes not from it poking holes in you but rather the kinetic energy being transferred from the bullet to your body. If a bullet doesn't expand and exits the body it takes most of that energy with it. So unless it hits vital organs and the bleeding can be stopped you can survive the shot. If you got lucky and the bullet travelled via the cavities between organs and major blood vessels you could see another day, maybe even without external help.

Yes, and I'll wake up momentarily, most of the time still in decent health either ready to sprint and vault instantly or in short amount of time if I got unlucky and got couple of cuts. Where is the risk and danger in that ? Zeds are an inconvenience and a mild one at that.

That could be achieved by increasing the numbers and making thema actually kill you, not just knock you out. Health regen on a player char is too quick as well which means even getting badly battered does very little to hinder the players.

They aren't left for dead or resident evil zombies, they are 28 days later infected. Rabid humans rather than undead or mutants.

Hacksaw ? Pliers would be more appropriate tool. They could even add bolt cutters. The idea is good, but cutting wire with a saw sounds like a chore.

And what is the penalty for logging out during the match in the shooter? Slight loss of points or mmr ? Or does your whole progress resets to zero ? It's not the latter is it ? I don't combat log, but I also don't try to implement ridiculous measures because someone does. Increasing the logout time and maybe adding a sound to alert those nearby is more than sufficient.

No I don't always do. Sometimes I need to go the shop and get something for dinner because it was not bought earlier. Or any other valid reason to walk away from the computer. The only bs is the draconian measures some people here want to introduce to deal with small issues in the game that would only work for those who are stuck to the screen all day. If you introduce that measure people will leave this game for good. And how much shit players get from hackers and bugs it's not something the devs should add to the game unless they want to kill it. The guy you were in a stand off logged off. Unfortunate, but ultimately inconsequential, move on. Introduce a longer log out time to minimise it, but don't ruin the experience because of it.

What if I'm far from my base or don't have one at all ? Same goes for being far away from edge of the map. Am I going to have to spend 30 minutes walking to the log out zone ? What I something comes up and I need to leave them game immediately and go somewhere ? Are we going to punish people for having a life outside of DayZ by forcing them start fresh every time something takes them away from the game at a moments notice ? Because that sounds like a good idea to lose players. Log out timer can be increased to a minute or even more to deter combat logging without punishing players who need to promptly leave a game when not in combat.

Why is glass stopping bullets in the first place, clipping or not the bullet should go through any window in the game.

Yes, and guess what. In a world filled with hyper aggressive infected and murder happy survivors you would be doing a lot of things as quietly as possible. That includes taking your clothes off. And yes currently your clothes come off instantly but since we can't even get an option to open the doors slowly I think it's reasonable not to have every action make noise.
