That is great stuff. How could you kill such awesome guys!? The ending is hilarious, the dialogue between the basement guy and thomas.

23. Forever Alone - he avoids human interaction at all costs, even if that means logging out and become a sitting duck for 30 seconds infront of your sights. He will accept being shot rather than use his mic and voice to prevent that. Usually harmless, they rather try to avoid or escape you than attack. Reasons may be greatly different why - maybe he is ashamed of his voice, have no mic or is unable to speak your language. Whatever the reasons, I always let them be. 24. Trader - while most of time you are being shot on spot, the one other timd you will meet him in a right place and right time. They can be geared to full or below average but they do have something you need in their posession and are willing to trade it for something else than a bullet. Be it food, drink, medical supplies or a weapon, they can give it to you for something they need. Often they take unnecessary risks doing so but they are good people and worth mentioning. 25. Confused Guy - he is unsure how to act in certain situations and often makes bad decisions. Be it surrendering to an obvious hostile group or run into an obvious threat/trap. He is not you-only-live-once guy but his ability to make decisions isn't from the best. Sometimes he will get his friends killed because of his actions.

It just might seem that the problem lays within the game and can be fixed. But I don't think it can. They can move all the stuff server side, hacking will go on. Every game can be and has been hacked. It is rather problem of people. People, who feel the neef to hack, just can't play the game any other way. Their ability to learn is too limited so they are using 3rd party software to compensate. Hacking will go on, only private servers will reduce the amount of hacking.

You need to learn some politness. Thank you.

You removed his name from edited work and replaced it with yours. There is 0.01% of your work on this painting, and most of that is your name covering his. This is not an argument because you have nothing to add to it from your side other than remove that picture from your post.

I know what a copyright is. Now after you have googled it, read it and remember the meaning. Fact that it is on internet, doesn't mean it is free to take and take credit for it. 99% of todays artists are on deviantart. And posting stuff there. You don't obviously realize it but these artists don't spend their time painting for amateurs to ruin their work, tape their name on it and put out as theirs. Nowhere on his account can I see that this is free for anyone to use, only do I see that all his work is copyrighted which makes your both statements wrong (that it is free stock and you have his permission).

The fact that you don't know anything about copyrights tells me a story that you have never paid anything, nor for any stocks or even software you are using, and I rather PM a forum moderator and ask a fair question if they allow a mockery of professional artists and their work to a such level where people even spit on their name, metaphorically speaking. Edit: all you edited in that painting, is a color overlay and your name. And you did that to a piece that took days to paint on a professional level. I mean, I am rarely rude to anyone but what you are doing here, demands it.

It is a copyrighted character design by character/creature designer and concept artist Jerad S. Marantz I will send him a further e-mail regarding his permission to claim credit for his work. I have done a bit of graphical creation in past decade, I did not come here to compete you though but to point out that what you do, is wrong. And original does look better. That is criticism. You must learn to accept it or you can uninstall you editing software right away. Use free resources. Deviantart got loads of it.

So, you take someone elses artwork, edit it, cover original artist name and claim credit for it? Original looks better, to be honest.

I ran to a guy in some military camp barrack. Wanted to talk to him, he logged. Didn't shoot his idling body though. I thought I might have scared him with my look though he was geared decently, as well.

I am glad that DayZ was made into Standalone, at least. It has potential, I am just waiting and hoping that it will do what it was promised to do. I don't give a damn about that few euros I spent, I just want a game like no other that would give me unforgottable gaming experience like mod did, but even better. Being reasonable, I don't think whining on forum helps developing that game. I give them time, as much as they need and hopefully they don't let their fans down. Please, proceed.

I don't care how difficult, just do it. It would change gameplay in an unimaginable way. From what I read, they are making improvements to the engine and servers that would give a better use for particle systems. Now, how I think of it. Work on a ground and object surface and particle collision, add in snow storm as a small particles, stack them over objects. I wonder how much computing power that would take. I think it is manageable though. Once they build up the core of the game, they could work on it. Afterall, it would add unmeasureable authenticity to a survival game that aims to be realistic. Seasons are part of the life and in survival situation, pay huge role. Edit: I don't think infected would die from cold. They are, afterall, fictional characters in DayZ environment and can do whatever they are scripted to do. That is, survive winter as well.

Actually improving some abilities by doing them over some period is not a bad thing. I don't know if it should be limited to one life or all the gameplay throughout but it makes sense that in the beginning you can't run as fast, carry as heavy weights, craft everything in one, two, three, load magazines in seconds and so on so forth. So, if you started out on a lower stage and worked your way up to better endurability, weapon handling, crafting etc it wouldn't specifically draw away from the authenticy of DayZ. As for very specific skills, you already have some sort of system in game. For example, people who are familiar with combat drills, can use them effectively while people who are not, can't. Same goes for using a compass, a map and coordination in DayZ environment. Knowledge of survival skills lets you collect needed stuff more effectively because then you know what to pick and what to ditch. Either way, it is not a bad idea but needs some thinking how to make it work properly.

I find all kind of shouting annoying. Everyone knows it is alpha and everyone knows it has serious problems in current state but stating those facts in every other thread only wastes internet space and gets on everyones nerves. I am all over calm discussions as they are much more productive. Well, for me at least. I doubt any dev cares about my discussions. But that isn't even important for me. Positive interaction gives much more and get to know and talk new people. I agree. There shouldn't be strictly limiting any playstyle in favor of balance but creating similar options for all. Most important thing I see in this game is that it would follow the freedom of choice path. I can do whatever I want with my life, or even others if it becomes mine to decide in situation. But making the atmosphere authentic for all kinds of people. Scarace of weaponry, ammunition, shelter, vehicles like you would expect from a place that turned to wasteland. The need of maintenance for parts of equipment in order to keep it working and so on. I would see helicrashes as an option if they spawned the gear other than weaponry but high value for survival. Specific medical supplies that would be pain to find otherwise, character customization equipment that would be exclusive to crashsites, maybe food rations that are more efficient than can of beans and milk powder that you usually find. Radios, GPS, maps, protection gear and so on, so forth. Not sure how that would look like.

More or less, you are correct. However, making the slaughter easier will increase slaughtering. Too many lazy people that have no intention to search for content. Just a quick fight, death, repeat. I don't mind any playstyle. It is up to player to choose his way. But I can't support the add-ons that give better odds for one style, less for other. I haven't made a single shot at player, in Standalone, that wasn't absolutely necessary from my position. Simply because I have different goals that can be achieved without killing anyone. For me, and this is personally my opinion, any weapon is sufficient to work with. I am out to survive. I can make my way out of unpleasant situations with most common weapon or without any, at all. I don't find placing helicopter crashsites, that would spawn rare and more powerful weaponry, justified. As it is, my own opinion and feel free to disagree. In my eyes, it gives more advantage to one playstyle, that is slaughtering, and less to survivors. I wouldn't play more or less though if these were implemented. I am ready to adapt to any changes that could be made in Standalone. Hopefully they will still keep all the people in mind when making updates. Everyone should have equal possibilities by environment, and balance between different playstyles. I remember the mod days. It was bloodbath. No one even tried to play it in survival key. And who did, quit after few attempts and joined the mess.

I would love that feature. Someone runs up to you to rob you and before he gets to you, you use up all the good resources and holding your gun to head, pulling trigger when other guy is watching all that. Would be a lot more to it of course.

Hopefully more people think that way. I am not against new ideas but I explain my experience in mod. I logged on with couple of my friends, about 4 or 5 of them, on our regular server. First thing we did, was to find a helicopter. It wasn't hard for us because most people used same hideouts and some helicopters even sat in their spawns forever because there weren't enough teams to loot the parts and fix them. So, we randomly took one heli with which we found many others. Then we went through whole map and cleaned every single helicrash site, stored the loot and ran around killing everything on our way. Rarely anyone else got anything from helicrash sites besides mine and the opposing group in that server. Helicrashes were about finding weapons and equipment that we couldn't get elsewhere but for only to kill other players more efficiently. What I am trying to say, is that helicrashes didn't add more content to game that drew players from slaughtering eachother. It just gave more weapons to give more options on how to do it. Nope, I don't want that back. I rather run around on an empty 225 sq km map than take part of that again.

Well done, had a couple of good laughs. Beans for you.

Not strong enough. And in too few numbers.

If we are speaking of that particular gas mask then yes, it appears so from clipping issues. But overall, every military-grade gasmask is designed to be worn with helmet.

I am not sure about technical correctness of following statement but even a fracture can cause you unbearable pain. I do have experienced both broken bones and fractures several times in my life, I can't say a certain fracture is any more comfortable than broken bone. I don't know all the terms for those injuries in english so don't shoot me if something isn't in correct form.

I totally feel the apocalypse when playing.

After reading those comments, I feel like going out and shooting everyone in the face. That's why I hate people. They are whining babies. Nothing wrong to make such posts on this forum. It is still worth three times more than all the whine and crap all the commenters post around daily. You are a good guy!

Hey, I still have my pristine ballistic helmet with gas mask. Been alive since mid february. I am attached to my life more than gear though. Only because I find more good in game when I look at it that way. Doesn't stop me from playing, awesome experience every time I played.

So the reloading sound wasn't made on purpose? How unfortunate, great add it was. Anyway, once you learn to play, you will come out alive from those type of interactions. After that you won't really care anymore how people behave since it won't make a difference to you. To get there, play and learn the game. Have fun.
