DayZ would probably be better without any military gear
Merc. replied to Mukaparska's topic in General Discussion
Well said, weight will have a large effect on how player objectives and styles. Likewise the game will be slowed down so you probably can't travel in one day to the airfield, or at least take much longer. -
Tear gas or an actual grenade from Russian crashed helicopters. Improvised would be impressive. Regardless though I just found this already being suggested under: https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/223840-gas-masks-and-tear-gas/?hl=chemical If an admin wants to move it.

There was a time there where the devs reduced the spawning of new loot. They are still working on loot economy and can change stuff quite frequently, as it is still alpha, but nowadays it's quite easy to find loot. Join one of those servers on stable that are named with state initials in it. Most are empty of players and filled with items. Just have to keep searching.

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Personally I haven't run into any desync problems or anything like that until once recently when I entered a hospital. Hopefully .59 does well to remedy these issues.

All true. Red_design is a good dude! He offered scope for my gun and didn't ask for anything in return.
-
Yeah the Kashtan Scope but I don't have a barrel to give. My list is on the last page.
-
What are you looking for???
-
Only way I could separate from my hunting backpack is for the smersh vest w/backpack and the eastern suppressor.
-
All they do now is protect the stuff in it. But it doesn't safe space, to my frustration.

@ Mr. Hicks: Thank you for your time :) edit: One more question: Any infos you can share with the progress of the Kamensk mine? Or maybe other cave or underground systems? Thank you sir for that answer on the megaphone!

*Crossing Fingers* Hi Brian, I read through the suggestions forum a lot and see good suggestions come up. Good being entirely ignorant to developing. 2 such suggestions that were interesting were 1) Crafted tents - Tents/huts created using the material in nature, such as lean tents, or those seen made by people on the show naked and afraid. Any plans for these down the road? 2) Megaphone - I'm pretty sure this can't be detailed or answered until the new audio setup is ready (unfamiliar with the technical jargon), but any plans for the megaphone to make it in game?

We are talking about fanny packs here right? I think those would be good. But nothing like a 8 slot bat utility belt.
-
Hell I have a hard time spotting my blue tent sometimes lol. This is a great suggestion!
-
Don't see anything wrong with this. Should only be craftable and work only in a few weapons. Essentially to the point of it being not worth to a regular survivor, but worth the time for someone doing that type of experiment.
-
Just an example lol

Though I completely agree that combat logging is low, I feel wrong killing someone when you see them in that pose. To Explain: What if your getting shot at in the game, and all of a sudden you need to leave your house because you forgot to pick up your kids, or you need to be somewhere, or something happened etc...? I wouldn't say "Play it safe," kill him because more than 90% of those situations the person is combat logging, I recommend "Playing it Safe" that this may be that ONE guy that needs to leave. Its SUPER Difficult to make that determination when you get shot at and then the person tries to CLog out... Idk I guess my point is is that it's not clear cut and dry the way some of you guys are talking about it.

Hello All, I have a couple of suggestions here with the main two in the title. I'm suggesting actions that require two+ people along with more animations/actions for player interaction: 1) Carry dead/unconscious/bound player Limits speed.Carrying player can either use two hands or one hand to be able to carry weapon, however there will be a greater speed penalty and lower weapon accuracy.Player breaking out duct tape (see below) can drop out of carry.2) Lift of some objects requires more than one player. Objects include but not limited to vehicle engine. 3) Duct Tape can be used to bind an unconscious player. Amount and state of duct tape determines strength vs wiggle. For example, 1) If someone has been injured in a gun fight and they are unconscious, another player could (with an animation) lift that player on their back. They could then move that person to a safer location. This could also be useful for the bandit role. That is, they could then move that person to their hideout or something along those lines. Closing Thoughts: I have been thinking more about other types of objects that would require a carry, but I can't think of any. Let's be honest though, a car engine block shouldn't be something to fit on your backpack or be able to be carried by one player. I think this put's more towards cooperation (and possibly, betrayal). Carrying Players has always been something I would LOVE to see. As I was writing this I thought about dead players and that would make for some interesting player interactions... "Who's that your carrying?" "Oh, my friend, he's unconscious from a firefight" "Checks pulse, Player is dead" oO As for the duct tape, I've always wondered why you couldn't use it to bind other players. Made little sense to me aside from the fact that they are building the game still, (Duh)

Loving the discussion. Crates stretchers weapons all sounded good.

At first I was all down with being a Zed every now and then. However, thinking about the kind of zombies we have in game, it wouldn't be the same. The Zombies are aimlessly walking around and run straight at you. Put a human in that, and they would be thinking where to pop out of, where to cut you off, and have predatory tendencies; all of which are contradictory to the zombies we have. Good thought though..
