    Well it definitely makes you feel human to blast someone else with a M-4 Rabbits have some difficulties with guns "This morning...a rabbit...killed a hunter It was a rabbit who had a rifle" "Come on, shoot, shoot" BAM "What the song doesn't tell is The rabbit killed the hunter But with the recoil The gun killed the rabbit" No more trolling, I promise.

    Why are you obsessed with my dog balls ? Did you guys meet each other ? edit : oups just saw your 2nd comment. I know a good doctor if you want, he has done wonders on my horse. (I think we should call it a day, orlock is around and as usual he is in a very bad mood)

    Aaah no, with me it doesn't come out of my nose. You should see a doctor, i think it's pretty serious.

    Advertising for big money

    Not sure many corporation would like to see their name associated with DayZ and how it reveals the best inside us. And even if it was the case I'd prefer not to see them ingame. I Don't think money is really an issue right now for BIS...

    Since I have a dog I don't bother with kleenex anymore.

    bambi killing...

    Didn't really like the video but one of your friend had a great idea : Clay pigeon shooting. Now that's original. If you could recruit a few new spawn and get them up one of these radio tower and then your friend would try to shoot them before they hit the ground. Just tell them it's for a social experiment. Everybody likes social experiments in DayZ.

    Do you believe people who shoot on sight are terrible at DayZ?

    Yeah, I've also noticed a lot less KoS on hardcore servers. When I said I didn't got KoSed for 40 hours that was about my hardcore character. The regular one is getting fragged all the time. I think we agree to...agree :)

    This is why we should use ArmA III's Engine.

    Somehow I have the feeling you have no idea what you're talking about...not.a.single.clue. Were you even born 10 years ago ? (if yes but you were still wearing diapers it counts as a "no") ArmA 1 and ArmA 2 had much worst performances at their release.

    Have you/have you not seen a hacker?

    Logged 110hrs and never seen a hacker so far. On a side note, can we report to Youtube people who upload videos of them hacking and put up links to these hacks in their description ? I mean is it usefull ? Does YT do anything ?

    Got my friends to buy DayZ.

    What's wrong with the inventory system ?

    Who said I was getting KoS "so much"? It didn't happened to me over the last 40 hours I already said it earlier, I'm glad people KoS, it makes my experience thrilling even on low pop server. For me going into small towns or anywhere near human installations IS exposing yourself. Let's say you're looting the piano house, how don't you expose yourself when leaving ? That house has no windows on the ground floor, once you're in there's no way to know when it's safe to get out. You can't have full control of the situation, everywhere, everytime. Everybody, even the most caution among us, take a lot of risk because there's no other way to survive right now. I admit it's a lot safer to loot a small town inland but still, you are exposing yourself. And I do play on harcore servers, that's where I have my "real" character. I use regular servers to have fun on the coast

    A KoSer is doing half the job a "friendly" does. That's BS. No matter how you play, as long as we can't hunt and live forever in the woods, you'll have to expose yourself many many times.

    Hunting, vehicles, multiple maps, hordes, wow

    Except it's not the right time for that. BIS gave us the opportunity to buy the Apha to help them on the game. If they had allowed mods from the get go the forum would be a total mess, with people complaining about mod-related issues and not the game itself. And there would be a high risk to turn off the modding community since each update could potentialy broke mods and they'd have to continually tweaks their work. Patience...

    Women Clothes

    I think if you are worrying about how good look then the game has failed as a survival simulator, hard. I understand right now there's isn't much to do but it should be the least of your concern. Someone said he highly doubt that in a apocalyptic world every one would wear camouflage and helmets... Recent events tend to prove him wrong, look at the ukrainian protesters.This is not even the apocalypse and it's an urban environement. You see don't much girls wearing skirts, colored clothes or funky hairstyle either... Your main and only concern in DayZ should be how to survive, if it's not the case either you're approaching the game in the wrong way or, like I said, the game mechanics have failed to put you in this mindset. In a apocalyptic world you would do everything you can to hide the fact you're a woman. You'd probably start to cut your hair short. Long hair are highly impractical and are a nest for parasites and thus infections. You certainly wouldn't want to wear one of these sexy outfits you've suggested in your OP and come across a group a sex deprived men.

    Dragging Comrades

    BIS has been sticking with that scroll wheel menu for more than 10 years now...I bet It's an idea of Marek Spanel and no one dares replacing it :p jk, I like it.

    MUST HAVE map idea/s

    A member of the ArmA community (Opteryx) made an underground map back in the ArmA 1 days. I don't think he ever released it, probably more a proof of concept but it certainly did not look crappy. I'll post the vid if I find it.
  18. I guess it was due to console technical restrictions, lack of memory or something like that. I also remember changing the view distance was altering points you had. Default was, say, 6000 points and 1.2Km view distance. You could raise the VD up to 2000m but then you only had 4500 points left. It was quite frustrating we you were used to the freedom of the PC version. ---- Ah well I thought I knew you, my bad.
  19. I too have been around since OFP. When I'm alone in the woods in the SA I get some flashback from the "After Montignac" mission from the campaign. Such an outstanding mission, I think like many others people it's my all time favorite. It was quite good, not dubbed down at all. The only downside I can remember, despite the lack of mouse and keyboard, was the fact you had a certain amount of point in the mission editor. Each unit or object would "consume" x amount of point. So you could not create really big mission like on PC. And no mods of course... BTW, are you Rhodesy on the BI forum ?

    Suggestion: Partially blind server populations

    I like the idea but there should be some sort of "for emergency only" servers. Just a moment ago I was looting the balota airfield on a nearly full server. I was in the control tower when I lost connection for a good 10 minutes. I not ashamed to say I'm going to look at a server with little to no player to log and get the hell out of there. Actually I'm going to join a server with 0 player since I might end up on a clan server where they're just waiting for server hopper, no doubt they'll think I'm one. So if the player count ever become hidden there should be some special servers, maybe just allowing you to connect for a few minutes before kicking you.

    yup, both dragging and carrying would be great.

    Custom Armbands for Team ID

    Would be great I think the devs have said it will be possible to add markings on your guns and I kinda fail to see how that could be usefull. But armband or being able to write/paint (maybe through some sort of simplified paint interface) something on your shirt would be welcome in my opinion.

    Do you believe people who shoot on sight are terrible at DayZ?

    You kinda miss his point which is : You consider your enjoyment primes over other people enjoyment and I think in the end that's what defines KoSer. They just think about themselves, about the enjoyment they can have, even if it's on other people misery. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame KoSer for KoSing. You guys make my experience thrilling even on a low population server. But I'm tired of all the bullshit and all the twisted justifications people come up with. Just admit you don't give a fuck about other players. You KoS because one player down means one less threat ? That's bullshit, as long as people can respawn the threat level remains the same. You KoS because it means more loot for you ? Again, bullshit, with the number of slots available on servers right now there's largely enough guns, food, clothes and ammo for everyone. and it goes on and on. Before you answer with "lololol another shitty player you got KoS'ed" read again the italic part of my post. No problem with the fact you KoS, big issue with the fact you can't cope you're doing this out of pure selffishness.
