Small price to pay to slow down and annoy server hoppers. Sure it doesn't stop them but 12 hops means an hour they aren't stealing loot from legitimate players.

You can already zoom in as if you had binoculars, any more would be broken imo so I am against the idea unless we become unable to zoom without a pair. If that were the case I would back this idea 100% since it would give the ability to have a sniper and a spotter.

All the munching makes me hungry in real life and I tend to eat fruit, rice or tuna while playing.

Prepare to have a new character.

double post

Why post this? You got KOSed so you're leaving - no reason to draw attention to yourself and regardless of whether that was your intention or not that's what you did. Your post makes it sound like you are trying to be some type of martyr which in turn makes you seem like a self righteous dick. PM your friends to let them know you're quitting and wish them luck. Anything beyond that is unnecessary.

I'd recommend just waiting it out, I'm sure it will be addressed in a timely manner and we can all get back to our real lives (in dayz)

If you're already in a server stay I guess. Don't try to join one if you're not already in one though.

Like a boss

Yea me and a buddy were just killed by a badmin so we logged to a different server and each one we try is experiencing long wait times, is unable to connect to hives when you do get in and most people have lost their characters

Nothing to whine about, it was great laughs to know that I went down because I spooked the shit out of someone just by being at the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time :D The game is an absolute roller coaster of emotions - If the final product evokes even 20% of this I'll be ecstatic.

It was great and I laughed with my steam buddies about it. I wonder if his pants we're ruined after that encounter :P

Well if being pissed on is one person's fetish like that girl way back when with R.Kelly being pissed off would have been worse

Although this was well written and thought out I am against this idea - first it seems far too complex to bother being implemented containing far too many variables when there are several better features that need focusing on. Second, (and admittedly probably a better point) not everyone is susceptible to stress and fear the same way as others. Some people are deathly afraid of spiders, while others have them as pets. Sure there may be people who would be haunted from killing someone, or paranoid because of the moans of the infected but then you must look at the other side of the spectrum - people that have survived long enough they are numb to this and feel nothing. Or even those that feel gleeful euphoria and the thought/feeling of murdering puts them in the greatest bliss. I assume from your avatar you are or were a Marine so you should know that some people piss themselves when they receive IDF and cower under the concrete barriers, while others have rock hard boners and run with their SAW to the berm hoping to mow a motherfucker down.

Last night I was rolling with a buddy clearing buildings and due to the low server population, closed doors and zombies all over the town I became rather complacent. So it was no surprise that I stumbled upon a player who lit me up at close range just spraying me with an m4. I believe 4-6 out of the 15-20 shots that were ricocheting off the cramped walls hit me and I was down - unconscious from a lack of blood, but not dead. Luckily for me my buddy was with me maybe 50 meters away and took out the KOSer who didn't even bother to say anything the entire time. I am currently rolling a combat medic so my buddy fished around in my pack for medical supplies to get my back from the brink of death. A bandage, two bags of saline and a zap from a defibrillator later I was conscious but unable to stand, my leg was shattered from the hail of 556. After a morphine stick and chugging down some water I took a survey of my gear. Ruined pants, ruined boots - not even a scratch on anything else. I'm grateful the KOS couldn't aim for jack and just sprayed and prayed. It seems you can riddle someones legs with 4-6 556 rounds at less than 10 meters and only break their leg, knock them unconscious and leave them bleeding, (which can be a death sentence without friends or kind strangers) but not do direct fatal damage. I know for sure a single 762 to the face - not head (a pristine brain bucket can fully absorb one shot dealing no damage but ruining it in the process) is absolutely fatal. Usually 2-3 762 in the chest of a geared player will drop them dead. I do know I have killed someone before with two rounds of 762 in the chest but the character went through a slow death animation. He was standing then slowly dropped to a knee as if he was crouching and then finally went prone. I thought he was just trying to duck into cover but he just stopped moving. It took maybe 2-4 seconds before he was prone and motionless from standing, so that may be what you encountered and in a panic just dumped the rest of the chamber into him. Your best bet is to perform a failure to stop drill - two in the chest and one in the head. Regardless of gear it will put a player down, and if you missed the head shot at the end at least hes bleeding out and probably unconscious or already dead from the two in the chest.

Since we cannot play Russian Roulette normally with the 357 I give you the next best solution. Step 1 - Harvest blood from someone - anyone will do it doesn't matter. Step 2 - Combine the blood bag with an IV start kit. Step 3 - Stop someone else - repeat steps 1 and 2 - put the new blood bag in a different pocket. Step 4 - Administer the first IV to the person and wish them luck. Step 5 - If they are still alive hook them up with your gear (I usually fill my pants with food, water and some ammo and hand them over. Helps the boys air out) Happy gaming

I see what you did thar

I already addressed this - this is Hot Potato with an explosive.

A heavy duty maglite would one shot stuff if you hit them in the head

Beans please :D

Honestly I love some of your improvised weapon ideas - especially the frying pan. However your best bet now is just to book it away from the zombies - they're pretty slow and clumsy in relation to your character. Outrun them, ditch them in the tree line and circle back for the goodies.
