    Horses, the almost perfect "vehicle"

    As rocket said, helicopters should be possible but really difficult to use. This I think should also apply for horses. Don't let them be a car with flesh but a challenge. A horse which cannot become dull due to wrong use, is not a horse. And finally I think we speak about wild horses, since I don't know where trained horses could have survived.

    What I would like is...

    I like to play with americans cause I speak their language. They kind of understand me.

    Less Military. More Apocalyptic. (Clothing)

    Okay, but there are other kinds of clothes which would have real benefits. Like leggins which would be good baselayers for man and woman alike. Or handbags because there will be less backpacks in the future. light content such as longsleeve shirts, sweaters or vests which obviously were designed for women, or female coats of different kind. I couldn't think of any reason to wear a skirt, since you always have your underwear and there is nothing to be ashamed of. And finally I don't think it fits the whole postapocalyptic idea to wear skirts or dresses. The skirt zombies look in fact like waiting for clients but they had not much of a choice, so I forgive them. If I had the choice between different useless items I'd prefer to find hand creme and have the "Ooooh, it's lavender" message, to be assured I smell fine, lol. (not serious)

    Yes, I don't like them. :P

    Survival fitting clothes please. Skirts are useless in Dayz.
  6. If I recorded zombie noises and played them endlessly via voicechat to scare hidden people in my environment up, would this destroy your immersion? Would you say that is stupid, or reckless or acceptable? Serious question.

    Improvised Weapons/Items Thread

    Hello guys, I'm not an expert, so I let you judge yourself. But I liked the idea of improvised suppressors for rifles or pistols (for a few rounds) and I found this: Source: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120913153325AAtSDzy Is he telling stories or could this work? If yes, this would be a very cool improvisation. I'd be glad to get some feedback on this.

    Air rifle

    Useless to kill people possibly but not small animals which would be the primary purpose I guess. This is the kind of weapon you could find in remote areas to just survive and not for combat. Same goes for fishhooks btw. you surely wouldn't expect it to kill anyone, but neither would you say it is useless.

    Air rifle

    Baikal IZH MP-16 would fit.

    advanced camouflage

    As a player with a very low aggression level I made the experience that most people not only don't share my attitude, but that it seems to be very easy for them to spot me. No matter if I lay down or hide somewhere. So I'd love to have more camouflage options, like using sticks and leaves, camouflage (black, wood, grass) and dead-people (blood, flesh) make up, furs, dark and green blankets to cover my body and equal stuff. I really would appreciate if the game supported my "hide instead of fight" attitude more because this is what actually would make the game more enjoyable for me. I'd also love if these items would be more civil, because it's no good to gather all the good stuff in military bases. I think it is easily possible to produce most of these things with civil make up, charcoal and a sewing kit and some old clothes. Thanks for your attention :)
  12. Hello, I am curious. The experimental servers force me to play at night and I actually like it with the new brightness settings. Is it possible for me to use higher graphical settings at night or does it affect fps (?) in the same way as if it was daylight? At the moment I'm using middle high settings for my notebook and I'd like to push it a bit. Is that a good idea?

    graphic settings at night

    A notebook is all I have (except smartphone) and no, I didn't buy it for Dayz. It is one year old. I just try to make the best out of it. :)

    Broken legs -> Friends Help (carry hurt persons)

    I like the general idea to support someone with a broken leg, but I have some immersion problems when female characters take male characters on shoulders. I don't like to limit my own character but it seems unrealistic to me. On the other hand... who cares.

    testservers

    Could anybody explain testservers to me? Whenever I try to join one it says connection rejected and that I have the wrong version. Do I make something wrong? Search function has not helped me.

    testservers

    I'm not in a hurry. Thank you all, got it. :)

    testservers

    Okay, and where to get it?

    Reduce travelling time

    :lol: Maybe you should just stop telling me what I see or fail to see. My senses work fine.

    Gamma/Brightness question....

    I think its rather a game problem. If I am out at night my eyes get used to my environment and I actually see pretty well after a while. That does not happen in Dayz and see nothing at all. I definitely would not use a flashlight in a zombie apocalypse, because I wouldn't have survived in that case.

    Reduce travelling time

    He has understood me very well. This is not Dayz, you don't have to kill me on sight. :huh:
  21. jayleann

    Reduce travelling time

    I think random people repairing helicopters is more immersion breaking.

    DayZ ReAnimated Series - Episode 1 "Elektro Disco"

    Was not boring at all. :thumbsup:

    Share a map with another player

    I really like the general idea of shared items. rain covers or campfires could be shared the same way. And they force you to be static, what could lead to great situations.

    Gamma/Brightness question....

    Better cheating than getting lost in a house with two rooms. I nearly ate my notebook.

    Cannibalism

    Maybe I do. And I agree this is a horror game that should be horror and allow people to act and feel like being part of a horror movie. But even horror movies cut or skip scenes like those you want to have as common part of the game. And I think you have to decide whether you want to have a popular "Dawn of the dead" or a "cannibal holocaust" in the end. Also I think you underestimate how easy it is for little children to be part of this horror experience. My little cousin was 12 when he played the mod for the first time (without permission) and I don't see an age rating anywhere. I don't want to play killjoy though. If you think my objection is nonsense or exaggerated I have to accept that.
