Cowboy hats - an invitation to shoot on sight?
drsheepbringer replied to rickyriot's topic in General Discussion
Every time I see one I think of Brockeback mountain and pretty much either run for my life or start shooting them. I mean someone wearing one in an apocalypse can only mean one thing... -
If I'm not mistaken the survivors are immune to the zombie infection thus being survivors. I think the normal infections will be enough :)
-
With limited space you still carry a can opener...I mean you can pretty much opens cans with "anything". If you want realism...carry a knife.

Gas masks, payday masks, crash helmets
drsheepbringer replied to willhelm's topic in New Player Discussion
With gasmasks...I almost shoot, with those idiotic looking klown-thingies...you're a bandit, or something that just needs to be putt out of misery. -
Question - What do organized "squads" actually do ?
drsheepbringer replied to Foolz's topic in New Player Discussion
Why should they have killed you? Many of them are KOS hunters, but they still need stuff too. Safety in numbers. -
How much authenticity is too much?
drsheepbringer replied to LaughingJack (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I like the remove bullet idea and stitches, but as for stabbing...we need a reason why. One comes automatically in mind is an empty gun and you stab someone, but pretty much everyone is wielding a melee weapon also. Perhaps...only a single "big weapon". No more axes and rifles. Just one...pistols can still be used and such, but this would turn the weapons into melee as well. A reason. -
Why aren't there 'fat' characters in DayZ?
drsheepbringer replied to TheMachine's topic in General Discussion
Rule number .... Cardio. -
Alpha, add all stuff. Beta, fix all the bugs and optimize.

bayonets,suppressors, cars, and cooking, what first?
drsheepbringer replied to commanderbash's topic in Suggestions
When they have vehicles they better have fuel problems. This way industry towns would be a key resource, well at least for citybattles. -
Is Sniper too powerfull ? how did the mod handle this?
drsheepbringer replied to Foolz's topic in New Player Discussion
Yeah, but we know how snipers work. They will just camp on hill next to a beach and keep their sight pointed on the spawn point. Immeadiatley when they see someone spawn they just click. Fragged. I have yet to seen any multiplayer game that has used a sniper as it should be used. A sniper doesn't shoot "common soldiers/folk". They have specific targets or missions. Shooting a freshspawn is neither. Shooting down guards and such...well that's another matter. -
bayonets,suppressors, cars, and cooking, what first?
drsheepbringer replied to commanderbash's topic in Suggestions
Cooking of course. Then cannibalism and we have a real reason to kill! The we also have a real reason for bayonets! -

drsheepbringer replied to Foolz's topic in New Player Discussion
I think ammo for snipers should be super rare if found. I mean that's something you really don't find laying around everywhere. Then I came to think about the sniping...how about we make it hard? I mean the scopes could be damaged...so one could only use snipers with ironsight. Odd idea for a sniper, but I mean optics do break :) What we need is that IF someone decides to use a shot..then it has to count. I mean you really really need to get something from it. Making a kill wouldn't be enough. Perhaps shooting a locking mechanicsm so that people can enter a bunker (being that the mechanism would be far away from the door etc.). -
At least I didn't get my legs fixed when I relogged. I was crawling for 3-4 searching for sticks or morphine. Ended up bleeding to death from zombies. Ran out of bandages and ammo.
-
I think they should make access to some buildings via climbing only. I mean one would need ripe and stuff. Now we can enter buildings only if they are open or have doors. We don't even smash doors. I would love to enter some bunker via airducts alone.
-
Well beards, but I would like to see the character look more "scruffier" as the beards would do. I think majority forgot that there are female models also and well beards... I just think bambies should look like bambies and survivors...well look the part. I'm thinking in the lines of "it would be humiliating to look bambi".

Dogfood.

I can imagine a lot of uses for books. - write/draw/notes (maps, codes, recepies etc.) - starting fire (ooh, so much easier), burn them - insulation (ripple the paper and put inside your clothes) - toilet paper - read it (morale) and they could be books about plants,guides, survival ABC and so on. - whack people with them No uses? I would say one would be stupid NOT to take one book with you. Of course it can be those pocket books...
-
I do admit it's tough to find food near the spawns, but when you survive long enough to visit the inlands...no problem with food. I do admit that people suck at looting. Perhaps they just don't do it because you can't shoot food. Also they seem to sprint EVERYWHERE and thus loose more calories. Jog.

FPS DROPS LAST PATCH - MORE INFORMATION (SPAM TO DEVS)
drsheepbringer replied to stationmax's topic in General Discussion
Well if the only solution is to kill of you character then they should do a wipe. Of course that wouldn't solve the issue of those items still being ingame. -
On survival conditions i would take a russian design over everything else. Why? Because they have been designed to work in crappy conditions. There is a reason why AK-47 is good. It's the design that pretty much allows it to function while being abused by the user and the elements. A lot of "modern" guns simply jam when they get a dust particle on them.
-
Stealthy, but not overdoing it. In towns i usually plan my routes and dash from shadow to shadow. Also I tend to keep an overwatch of towns before I enter. Saved my life a few times when I saw someone getting gunned down and managed to suprise the killers :)

Enemies spotting me in the bushes
drsheepbringer replied to BlinkingRiki182's topic in New Player Discussion
Also. Hide behind walls :) -
The server restarts and "fills" the places with loot and zombies. When a player goes into a town (for exmample) and kills all the zombies and takes the loot...the town is empty (time to hike up to the next town...without starving to death). It will be filled again when the server restarts and that's usually like 4h i think. Depends on the server I guess. Usually this means that when you see zombies there is a good chance that there is loot also.

Vitamins, fruits etc. I'm constantly eating and drinking. Been healthy from the gecko more or less and I've healed up quite fast even from bad injuries. Not sure if eating different foods help in the overall scheme (like fish, beans, fruits etc). I've been mixing it so that my food isn't purely beans :) Sodas are quite crap when it comes to "food", but I drink them when I find them. Don't rely on them being your "food for the trip". Just think of them as snacks.
-
Ruined food will be ruined in the next patch. At the moment just don't eat rotten fruits :)
