I am really undecided on this. I like the idea to increase value of life but I am not convinced this is the correct method. You also need to realise that this will NOT decrease KoS if that is your objective. Some people, myself included just don't give a shit about certain aspects of the game and just like to kill people. Why do I need to know about blood bagging and heli flying when one of my team who doesn't like engaging can do that? All this will do is penalise the lone wolf'ers out there. Players like me have no need to "skill" up unless there was some sort of weapon buff or perk, which IMO is big HELL NO! IMO, the best way to make you value your life is to make spawning an absolute pain in the ass. For example (I am not actually suggesting this should be implemented, just merely an extreme example) imagine if you spawned on an island and had to swim for 15 minutes before you got to shore or you had absolutely no health and food and a some sort of illness when first spawned. Surviving should be hard when you first spawn, you should die a lot as a fresh spawn... like really hard. Super hard. To me that is the only fair way with hindering any ones play style and without ruining the game.

Winning a firefight while being outnumber 2:1 or more and not losing a single person.

A group of servers connected together eg whatever happens to you in one, happens in all the others. If you find a gun in one, you can use it another server that is connected to the same hive but if you logged into a private server you would be a fresh spawn. Exactly the same. While alpha is going all "Public" servers are connected to the hive and there are two hives, one hard core and one regular. No as long as you stick to either regular or HC, HOWEVER, because this is alpha, sometimes you can lose your character. Yes if you ever see this message LOG OUT STRAIGHT AWAY and join a very busy server. Otherwise you can and most probably will lose your character.

Agreed EVERYTHING should be counterable but most importantly by the same amount of time it took to construct. That was my biggest criticism of epoch. It would literally take weeks of building only to be able to be destroyed in minutes. If a wall takes 5 minutes to construct then it should take 5 minutes to be destroyed. Likewise if it took x amount of supplies to build, it will cost x amount of supplies to destroy.

Yeah thats about right for your specs dude. Check out this thread http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154330-possible-fps-enhancer/

What we do is we look at DayZ mod and go what was fun in that? Vehicles, yep vehicles where definitely fun! Ok lets put that in. There will be servers (when mod tools are released) that might have no vehicles but they will also have people playing them because most people find vehicles fun. While your fear is valid (and it will happen) as long as there are other things to do in the game then it shouldn't become a major problem. For example in the mod there was always a few dick heads who hung round Elektro with .50 cals lighting everything up but they are the minority and then as soon as base building was introduced it hardly ever happened. Plus there is always going to be people who like to come and kill the spawn killers. Stay hidden and get off the coast should be your motto as a freshie.

It makes me so warm and fuzzy inside when that red writing pops up with GLOBAL BAN: Player XXXXXXX etc etc Sometimes I find it more amusing than the game itself.

QFE! Well said!

They are way to easy in the current state. The only thing I think needs adjusting is the damaging and ruining your gear. One hit should not ruin a pristine backpack and all the stuff inside.

This. The FOV minimum needs to be adjusted closer to what normal view should be and then any movement of the slider increasing FOV will zoom out. Removing it completely is a silly idea as I get serious motion sickness from a narrow FOV plus when playing in 1PP servers it is totally unrealistic view and would ruin HC servers.

Respawning is restarting :faceplam: Yeah I would just love to paying 90 bucks a month for an empty server cause no one can join it as they have all died.

This is all that is required.

Yeah it's a frustrating exercise. While I absolutely hate the dark, I liked the 4am start because it made the decision of running into the freshly restarted airfield that more difficult. Should I risk it or should I wait till daylight? How long does it take IRL to go from dark to light? I think about 20-30 minutes is all I can really tolerate.

Will we need improvised pillow ammo? Instead of filling the bullet with gun powder cause that shit is so loud, we fill it with the insides of pillows. Feathers ones, because they are premium can do more damage than the cheap cotton fluff ones.

Dot in the middle of the screen is the only one reasonable idea and that has already been discussed and ear marked for HC. So no but thanks for playing :thumbsup:

Very good server, highly recommend.

Anyone else noticing a huge influx of .pbo file deleters? Is BE banning these people or not possible yet?

It's threads like this I wish there was mandatory sterilisation for the stupid

How about you read other peoples post before posting your drivel that has already been posted and a reason to why your idea shouldn't be implemented. Otherwise we just go round and round and round.

I kinda like the rain but I like the dreariness of the mod to the vibrant SA. It doesn't bother me enough to complain about it but I feel it gave it the apocalyptic feel as does the rain.

So then your issue should be with the messaging system, not he fact it is raining. a) I hardly ever see the rain maybe 1 hr of play in 10 b) If your mood is being effected by rain, I think you may have more serious IRL issues going on. lol

I have a friend who has 3 accounts and does exactly this. Wow a lot of the "solutions" to this non issue would certainly effect lone wolf's and have absolutely zero effect on clans and groups. Me being the latter highly recommend that we don't penalise lone wolf play as they are already at a huge disadvantage. Whats the difference between someone running back to their base and someone running back to another place like NEAF, NWAF, Balotta, etc. I think people who are complaining about this have never played the mod cause once heli's are introduced persistent safe boxes will be the least of their worries lol. Let me explain a situation to you that often happened in the mod. We would get into a shoot out with another clan in the middle of nowhere. Someone would die We would send our heli to pick up respawned player In heli would be everything required to fuly kit up Player would parachute down to re-engage Rinse and repeat This would happen in a matter of 10 or so minutes depending on where the battle and respawn was. People need to realise that the "end game" of DayZ for a huge portion of players is to battle it out but any mechanics or structure we put in the game can't penalise one group of people. Relocating tents - Absolutely stupid idea, you might as well make it disappear. Because it won't penalise the player you are intending on penalising, the will just grab gear from their team mates locker/tent therefore penalising the player who didn't die cause he now has to share his gear (not a biggy I know) and penalising people who play alone as they can't just grab gear from a mates tent. Disappearing tents - See above, Cant use for certain period - Again as above

People complaining about rain at this stage of the game are snipers sitting on a hill with zero visibility. It has absolutely no effect on the game whatsoever apart from that.

No you basically want to get height and then angle the heli downwards (timing is important) head straight for the ground and then you should get enough speed to straighten you up. Fly towards a safe landing zone, get close to the ground and then lose as much speed as possible. At the last second do a "u" turn landing turning towards the direction that you were spinning in before hand and cut all power.

Piano house always have guns in them. Well 99.999999% of the time
