Handcuff + burlap sack someone and then proceed to punch them in the head while rambling inane nonsense or asking ridiculous questions. like "who is your daddy and what does he do?" Bandits gotta spice it up - I'm having a blast with my schizophrenic bandit who happens to have a really odd case of amnesia.

Your first post and this is what you say? This has already been addressed - please use search. I think I agree with you? When you say bikes do you mean motorbikes or bicycles? Because all I want in the game is a pink bicycle with streamers and one of those funny little "ring ring" bells. :D

"Why are you killing new spawns on the coast? Why don't you kill geared people?" Because geared heroes go to where they can offer the most help - the coast Kill/harrass newspawns in high value areas along the coast to lure out the geared heroes and prepare for epic firefights. I usually don't KOS freshies, I harrass them creatively which still lures out heroes and gives the freshie a very memorable experience. Much better in my opinion - everybody wins. EDIT - Try not to be a dick and kill the same one over and over - thats just greifing.

Too many civilian weapons. Needs nerf - obviously OP. Need more military weapons to counterbalance now.

We're talking about enforcing a no KOS policy on a server - which is not allowed I gave the admin death = server reset simply as an example of how if you give people an inch they will take a mile. No one has shutdown the other non KOS? Guess I'll make one too (and thats why we have so many now) Rules are rules and the issue is people are whining because they don't agree with the rules. The people in this thread aren't whining - quite the opposite, they are merely supporting the rules.

Miltiary M4s are not automatic either, they have safe, semi and burst, at least in the states. Maybe the answer is to just remove fully automatic and put it as three round burst. That would solve a large chunk of this "military gear" debate which is 90% centered around the M4 and has nothing to do with the rest of the "gear" (clothing)

Totally agree. Military gear isnt the issue if the only thing everyone keeps referring to is the M4 - that means the M4 is the issue. You could be decked in military gear and be terrible at the game, or you could be naked with a hammer and beat people down. This isn't like other stat based mmos where gear plays the game for you, there are no artificial values to gear like +10 strength or anything, player skill is everything. Besides, people are mostly in it for the pockets, so what would be the difference if everyone runs around in cammies or everyone runs around in a hoodie and cargo pants if they had the same slots and they practically do (2 less total). Perhaps then the issue isn't too much military gear, its a lack of viable alternative clothing. I prefer military gear because that is exactly what I have a surplus of in my house and its exactly what I would be wearing in an apocalypse. Most survivors would head to military camps, police stations, gun shops and tactical stores right away in real life anyway. From a weapon perspective I really don't see the big deal about the M4, its just the generic "middle groud" weapon Sawed off - best close combat Mosin - best long range combat M4 is somewhere in the middle and depending on the parts you use it with you can shift it in favor of either style, but at most it will always be second best to something else. That being said I have never died to an M4 since the average user just sprays and prays, but I have been killed by a host of other weapons.

You can have either the blue berry or the red berry "Theres a zombie behind you look!" *Eats both berries* Like a bo-................................ x_x

Rules for running a server are in place to prevent cheating and gaining an unfair advantage over others. I've been on servers where an admin attacked me and after I killed them they reset the server so they have their character back. People cannot enforce rules that go against TOS and by just letting them do it because "oh its their server" is not the right answer. You'll notice since they haven't been weeded out people think its okay to have their servers and enforce their own rules hence why you see all these private/no kos/clan only servers now and each week there seems to be a new crop of them popping up. It probably is best that you do stay out of these threads now that you voiced your opinion though since it upsets you and people are itching to forum war all the time.

I read your post - did you read mine? It still has potential for abuse.

If you were prone trying to combat someone along a hill your bullets may have just been hitting the dirt in front of you due to hitbox issues for land that isn't flat.

I am against this idea, I see no reason to add this when you can already carry around a pack for someone else that makes more sense; see below. When helping buddies just do what I do, carry around a stick, burlap sack and a rope. It takes up five spaces and you can make a backpack on the fly for someone. It is smaller than the generic packs but looks the best and is still more than enough space as long as you don't hoard unnecessary crap.

Removed a youtube video? Yes I have done that.

Was interested as I have a medkit full of nothing but morphine but the trade taking place on your conditions, server and location is a complete turn off. I'm not going to trek with a full goodie bag to you who many *may or may not actually have the LRS only to be robbed and/or gunned down by you or your mates. I generally play a bandit medic and already made a trade with a full time medic in the past along the same lines but it was morphine for O- blood. After exiting the building I was attacked by two of his buddies and knocked out. Heard them laughing about it as they rifled through my shit and the medic said "sorry bro but I need the medical supplies more than you". At least he bandaged me before he left. Woke up naked with a pocket full of rotten fruit. You can understand my concern. EDIT : fixed typo

I don't really know how I feel about this. I understand why you want it implemented but it has ridiculous abuse potential. People who go unconscious will just log out and be completely safe not subject to zombies, other players or the environment (which will be playing a large factor in the future). So instead of being knocked out and suffering from possible attacks, robberies or succumbing to hypothermia people will just log out and wait for a medic or their friends to get to their location. Then they simply log back in and have someone patch them up to get them on their feet with minimal risk involved. I've been disconnected while unconscious before and I know its pretty lame but I just shrug it off - its really no different than an unarmed bambi/bandit/KOS running up to my unconscious body, taking my shit and beating me to death while I was helpless. I just pretend that's what occurred and being *begin my new character alone, naked and afraid. EDIT - fixed typo

If I have one and transmit on the default frequency will people hear it from one that is lying on the ground somewhere? Or will another player not hear it unless they are holding it in their inventory? Can anyone confirm? I have some interesting ideas now depending on how exactly it works.

Exactly my point I never played the mod and the situation you described sounds awful. I'd definitely like to this this taken out of the interactive menus and just done through pressing R

I have yet to experience an encounter with a hacker - just badmins who will attack you then reset the server as soon as they die so they don't lose their character. This sentence may attract flaming, be careful.

I'm going to say yes but it will depend heavily on the players you interact with. Also don't be surprised, female characters tend to attract more attention in every video game and in MMOs there are so many men that play females, say they are females but claim they don't have a mic. They even go so far as to hit on people or whatever so their clanmates/friends or whatever will be nice and will babysit/gear them. The general rule for most people is that you're a man while on the internet until you prove otherwise. Personally I could care less if you're a man or a woman behind the monitor. If I stop you I'm still going to tell you to drop all your clothes and your pack - but don't worry I've never killed anyone who complied - even if they didn't have a mic. Try the famous wiggle with your hands up, its a generally accepted form of nonverbal communication.

Your character remains on the server for 30s upon log out.

I saw no stats and the only information someone would be able to read is what you've written. But we already have this in the form of notes - I see no reason to fix what isn't broken.

I'd prefer not to be a sitting duck with a holstered weapon at an obvious hot point like a fountain or having to click - scroll - click to just drink once. That would astronomically increase the amount of time necessary to drink enough to become hydrated and opens you up for ambush, especially when you consider fountains don't have any real cover or concealment around them. EDIT - I forgot to mention it also breaks immersion incredibly. In real life I'm not sitting at every door I want to open/close or every source of water thinking "should I open this door / drink water? or should i reload my weapon - let me decide"

I never had this happen before I had speed clips and depending on the situation I do reload in inventory (usually when I need to eject a few rounds, consolidate a stack and reload a fresh 10 rounds) but the issue is it keeps popping up in my interaction menu even if I'm at 10/10 and have no reason to reload. This causes excess noise when I'm moving on the fly and sound is critical for this game. As for the realism effect, in the military you wear a molle flak vest that 98% of the military weave their mag holders onto. There is no searching or anything, just pulling a mag from its holster, not fishing through pockets. If you consider that most of the dayz population wears an assault vest you would think that in a realistic notion reloading from the vest on the fly wouldn't require poking around through your inventory.

I think notes are just fine the way they are and I use them all the time. If I want to reuse a piece of paper that already has writing I'll just hold space for a bit before I start typing, that ensures there is an obvious break in the note. I am against the diary idea, I prefer finding crumpled up notes in peoples pockets, which not many players carry. I think something like 20% of the people I've found dead have a note attached to them, which is a real treat since it is rather uncommon. If every single person had a diary it would take away from the magic of finding that random note on one of five bodies, especially if it records certain player stats, of which are really no one else's business. Say you killed someone because you saw someone firing on someone else. You open their diary to find out they are a murderer, so you feel justified in the killing. Right now you don't have that kind of approval and are left to wonder - maybe he was firing on someone else out of self defense and you murdered them. Maybe he was a hero trying to save a bambi from a bandit or maybe it was a bandit trying to down a hero. Either way you have no approval and are simply left to wonder - I'd like to keep it this way.
