I also get scared, but that's when I'm in a house looting and I hear a door opening on the bottom floor. That's when I shit bricks.

I found this on his website, everything on here is amazing. http://imgur.com/a/b5cK8#0

Oh wow that's amazing! Would love to see this in the game, this is pretty much 100%!

Maybe he saw you and when he realized he was being watched and didn't get shot at, he became really layed back and didn't give a single fuck.

irishroy must be really happy now that he finally got his beloved lever rifle. ;)

**Before I begin I'd like to apologise if something like this has already been thought of** My idea here is basically to implement the animations you see your character do in the main menu, into the game. Meaning that it's a timed idle, if your character doesn't move for some time, as in the menu, he will do an idle animation (Sneezing into his palms, kicking the dirt, putting the gun on his shoulder, etc.) Or, perhaps it should be something that you will press to happen. We've already got the whole row of F's bound to different animations, maybe bind one to create one of these random idle animations? This is coming from a guy's perspective who likes roleplay, don't know what everyone else will think.

Guys, I think a lot of you have me confused, and I apologize as it may be me not explaining myself clearly. There are LOADS of these 'idle animations' in the main menu if you just let your character stay there before you click any of the buttons. I was either suggesting that your character will do these animations if you stand still for long enough (which didn't seem to popular even if I stated the other option). We've still got a few F#'s unbound so I suggest to make the last F# (F12?) to do a RANDOM animation depending on what weapon (if any) you're holding. Who knows, I can just see this expand to the point of your character doing animations depending on his health/mood. If he's got a broken arm, maybe if you press F12 he'll grab his arm and look at it painfully, if you're tired maybe he will wipe some sweat off his forehead. You know, the possibilities here are endless. But I hope I've gotten my point accross and cleared up any confusion.

No, haha! I'm not only talking about the 'putting weapon on shoulder' idle animations. All the idle animations you see your character do in the main menu, I suggest that you bind an 'F#' to do a random one, thus removing the fear of moving if you're idle for too long, you get me now? This would be very rich for RP purposes, for example, if you're standing around a fire with some friends, you don't have a weapon equipped, you press the bound 'F#' key (F1, F2, F3 <--- an unbound F#) and your character stretches his arms or sneezes into his palms. Other example, you're standing around a fire with some friends and you have an SKS in your hands, you press the bound F# for these idles and your character will play an animation similar to one of the several that exists in the main menu (Kicking the dirst, checking his rifle, putting it on his shoulder). The animations we have from F1-F9 are all static animations wave, surrender, sit hush, facepalm. If you spend some time in the main menu and just look at your character you will know what I'm talking about.

I'm really sorry but I couldn't comprehend 70% of what you just said, though it seems like you see this as a negative thing, although I don't see how this will turn the game into "The War Z". perhaps you don't understand what I'm trying to say. What I'm suggesting here is that if you stand idle with your character long enough, your character will perform one of the several animations that exist in the main menu. (i.e this: ) Now, take this animation from the main menu, and put it inside the game. I think that one of these random animations, depending on what weapon you have, should play after either a certain amount of time, or activate it by pressing an unbound F (F1, F2, F3 etc.) As I also stated is that I was unsure about the public's reaction to this, to some, you included, it may seem as an unnecessary and pointless feature, but from an RP lovers perspective, this would be a dream. Also, I love the sneezing into palms animation and the stretching animation your character does if you don't have a gun equipped in the main menu. Just putting that out there.

Yep, that's been my past 10 deaths. Avoid going upstairs in buildings and the game may be more merciful on you.

Omfg, genius!

This is exactly what a friend of mine is thinking, have you ever experienced being hit from a zombie that is swinging for the joy of his life in empty space outside a building, yet he's hitting you? Same as when you try to use a splint or saline bag on a friend that is 50cm away from you it says 'You are too far away'. I suppose according to the 'server' you are in an entirely different location, thus making what you said possible.

Am I the only one who haven't even found a tent yet? Haha!

I suppose that it happens to some more than others, I can't remember last time I died from a player, but I have died quite a lot, and the last 10 deaths or so has been because of this bullshit glitch. That's why I never store anything of value in my pants and I never go upstairs in any building.

Best thread 2014. :thumbsup: :beans:

Very close to the edge of the world I see, can I assume that you're somewhere along the west line of the map?

Well then. Best moment I've had... I think one of the very best must have been when I went on experimental when persistance first got implemented and tested out, I went to the hotel tower in Novod to check a note a friend had left, when I got there I met a guy, and as soon as we greeted each other we got shot at by a sniper, we both got down and crawled around on the floor, we built trust with each other by exchanging items and I gave him a Blaze 95 I had dropped in another room as well as a few bullets I could spare. Then another guy showed up, pretty kitted who was also friendly, gradually more and more people showed up until there were about 5 of us, we then decided to make this hotel tower a safe haven for travellers and new spawns who wanted to get a good start, by giving them everything they needed to survive. (We were still taking fire from time to time from the hill, just putting that out there) So, we began to put down stockpiles on the tabled on the top floor as well as chemlights and gas lamps, we sent out scavanging parties, recruiting parties and we left a few guards in the tower. At the end we were about 10-13 people, had loads of food, medicine, guns, ammo survival equipment. Man, it was amazing. (We were still taking fire from time to time, at this stage we just laughed everyime we heard bullets hitting the walls 'Oh, Sniper McShitty is at it again!) Then we got the message about a server restart, so we began addign each other on steam and told everyone to join the same server so we could continue doing this, and the sever did very much restart. And when we joined back, all of our items were there, exactly as we had left them. (My friend's note was still there with all the text he had written on it!) We were all very glad about this and we just continued doing what we were doing until the server crashed/restarted again without warning, and it never showed up in the browser anymore that day. (Can't help but to feel responsible for that due to the excessive amount of items we had at one place). Some screenshots: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/576776903120194009/5FFEFC6983BB16307327410385892FDC48BD7CA9/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/576776903120201290/E4B35F9D02D01A690EE06542EC79E85B8C345BB6/ The best thing about these images is that they were taken early on, should have taken a picture of the ammo/weapons table during the end, we had literally stacks and stacks of bullets and boxes! That was my greatest moment anyway, the moments that are great in DayZ for me is when you go to and airfield/high risk location and you meet friendly people, or when you meet/see peopel and you can leave the place without either side having blood shed.

As bautschi said, all you do is rant with the hysterically long LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL at the end. When I go on to the patch discussion I don't want to see some random dude with half a brain talking about how bad the game is and how shit everything is in 4 individual fucking posts. Get out.

How about you quote my entire text instead of trying to make yourself look good by just quoting 90% of it? Also, I really doubt you believe I was trying to acomplish accurate stats here, I was just trying to make sense of a situation where you feel like you're the only sane person around a group of, seemingly, idiots in your eyes. I know it has to be hard for you, note that I wasn't putting shit on you in any way and that I don't see you as a lesser being at all. :)

Not saying that you sound a lot like Hitler, but this is VERY extreme. 90% of the population is ignorant, arrogant, or downright stupid in another one's eyes. It's how it's always been, some people don't get along. But by being literal about those who you see as human trash should kill themselves, make you above else ignorant, arrogant and downright stupid. I have met a lot of people who have been, in my opinion, as you described but in no way do I want their life to end just because we came off on bad terms over the internet.

Haha! Looking good, pal! Love what you're doing. :)

Maybe have something like this? For when you need to haul some weaponry to your home base.

Alrighty.

Yes, kill yourself was a bit excessive, unless you mean that he should kill himself in game and start over by playing legit. ;)
