Aaaaah so THAT might be how the guy I killed yesterday at the NEAF spawned back in after I killed him... ...at least thats the only thing that makes sense to me

Agreed...if someone can't be excited by the fact they've been alive for X # of days, totally wrong game if you ask me.. This game to me isn't really meant to be a "Get geared out and be awesome!"

Lol no i don't. That's why I live longer than every single person who posts a "omg I died looting a dead guy's body in the middle of the airfield runway while standing still and yelling at the top of my lungs on voice chat" thread xD If it is a risk to me, I avoid it. = Survive :P that's just the way I go about it for the most part

.....huh?

I can't wait for the sound to be finished. It will change the gameplay 10 fold I can't tell you how many times a sniper would have been doomed had the sound actually been coming from where he was actually shooting lol xD or I have been unable to hear people 10 feet behind me at a full sprint, or I almost stab someone because that stupid zombie glitch noise WONT SHUT UP! lol xD

The last words your character hears 70% of the time in this game xD

I think it's funny how people are already downplaying the survival elements on a game that's not done yet...there will be plenty of things worth living for in future patches, like building communities for example. Although I can kind of see the OP's point, It's kind of fruitless to argue about this point in the game's production. It's like writing a review about a movie that's not even edited yet.

Okay way to contradict yourself lol. And I and many other people say it is primarily about the journey. Going through towns, meeting different people, experiencing near death encounters, firefights, exploring the expansive landscapes, finding new locations, being startled by a zombie who ran through a wall, making Bambis fight over who wants to be in your group, and the list goes on. Who plays this game simply to get somewhere or to find loot? That's an incredibly sad and ultimately unfulfilling way to play this game if you ask me. So yeah, to me this game is about the journey, and on a journey you meet people, have great experiences, and ultimately have a great time. Why on earth would you want anything else from a game like this?

So you would much rather this be a game where you run around with no potentially hostile player interaction whatsoever, beat zombies in the head for loot in a town, eat, drink, and go to the next to repeat? yeah because that wouldn't get boring after 5 minutes.

The fact that someone would think it's a waste of time kind of points towards the whole mindset problem someone who makes that decision has. This game is totally about the journey, and not the destination, to be completely cliche

Umm maybe because right now it's ridiculously accurate at long ranges with no adjustment to zeroing whatsoever? Not to mention with the way damage is atm the M4 should NOT be a DMR. I kind of explained this lol xD I don't care what it does in real life, we're discussing for purposes of potential balance here

it's what happens when you're not aware of your surroundings :) it's quite a bit more fair in hardcore though, as people can't hide behind stuff and wait to see you logging out

I personally think that weapons being harder to come by for law abiding citizens is much more frightening, but you are entitled to your opinion :D BACK to the topic... Done it. The m4 is crazy accurate for an AR at distances over 500m. Checked it out at NWAF a while ago pot shottin zombies at opposite ends of the runway.

I'd tell you where to look but I WANT THEM ALL FOR MEEEEE! NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE MY LOOT ITS MINE! SWEET LOOT! LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWT!

I'm not gonna lie, I combat logged the other day and am a terrible person because of it. It was just like, my brain got so confused from what was going on my immediate reaction was just "GAH EXIT EXIT EXIT EXIIIT FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" (I won't explain what happened as no one cares and it'd take too long) It sucks because i'm desperately trying to get rid of this "omg i have good stuff CANT DIE OR LIFE OVER" mindset every other game has given me and play this game for what it is but DAMN it's hard to break the mold. I mean seriously, there is so much more to this game than the stuff you accumulate at the end of your military base runs. I mean so much of the fun i've had in this game has had nothing to do with my gear. it's weird too because I have never combat logged any other time...but then again I have never had 2 pristine long range scopes lol...it's kind of sad, really. Hopefully I think on my toes and take my death or resulting survival like a man in the future xD

Devs with a sense of humor are my favorite. and the ones who make awesome games, i guess xD

/fixed second amendment :D I agree to an extent. I think the m4 should have a drastic range penalty in the future. And to the people who would say,"Errrr bert Derthterx, the M-fer is ercurrate ern real lerf erp ter lerk fer-herndred yerds n sterf etc. etc." well I would say that you dont starve in 3 hours in real life, but it's about gameplay balance. M4 should be an awesome town clearing CQB weapon for the game, not an all-around DMR-AR :D

Choppers, the "party bus", and loot respawn i'm all about potential fun :3

Battlefield 3 strayed from that idea and went to caliber fights as opposed to the more balanced hit-system from BC2 and it ended up with some of the most one-sided and gun-whoring gameplay for the first several patches of the game after its release. To an extent I agree with your system

I watched grimey die by tripping over a box in the firestation, and then I subsequently died by going down the stairs too fast. So yea I'd say random deaths just kinda happen and no sense trying to make sense out of them :P

So I was at NE airfield with my buddy John Freeman, and we were totally just logging in to the server and we hadn't been server hopping I promise and then we went to the hangar and saw a guys. This guy was bandit. We shot him and took his stuff because he was a bandit and bandits would kill us, so we shot him. It was bandit or be killed. And then my buddy was like,"Lok out!" and then he turn and swivel and saw 8 bandits run at us from across the airfield. They clearly was server hoppers and we aren't so they are Bandits had M4s and Mossin and had some pistol ass well. This was bad beacuase all I had was revolver and John had only a pistol with three shot left. My father told myself that some day I would live up to my name and be hero. I always want to be hero, because I never server hop. I nevr have combat loged. So I clench fist and said,"It's time for JUST ICE!" I run across to other side of the hangar and yell to my buddy John,"John, Folow me John!" John runs across to me as bullets fly by whizzing by my head right by john by me. John got hit in the backpack and ruined his canteen and he was sad because of that, but we made it to wall and i said,"John, pound up against back of me and push me through wall" John says,"But that is cheating!" I look at john and stare him while bullets rickofshay all around us while bandits keep shooting. "John, bandits are bad! BAD!! We have to do this for all heros." "Okay, but only because you are my best frien" But John died and was shottin head so I had to charge at bandits and kill all of them with my revolver. I kept shooting and shooting and eventually I killed all of them in airfield by myself and I did it to revenge my friend John. Server hoppers are bad and I killedf them because they are bad. If I see server hopper I kill them immediately and shoot them immediately because I don't do that it's lame don't server hop I never do it. That's my story

Looks like it has already jumped over a few :D

' I was totally going for that theme lol xD only more along the lines of HL:FLC

Its a respone to this thread: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/170258-to-the-server-hoppers-in-ne-airfield/page-2. Nah, more a response to all of them ;D just a bit of sarcastic fun

...Why waste the other 13 or so bullets... Sounds fishy
