But DayZ is a hardcore realistic game isn't it? It's easy and simplified as it is. Everyone laughs when people try to suggest the game be made more realistic in a way that makes it easier but then they're fine with these magical slots, hypocrites... (that isn't aimed at you newguyzombie) I for one love the adventure of gearing up and if that process took longer, love it. Yeah I was going to add that small weapons should fit round a belt, although it's kinda dangerous to run with a machete in your belt :P This would make it easier for people who already have guns but toning down bambi rampages would make the game have a more realistic mindset, people who used to do that would know they have almost no chance and avoid cities, their life would be more at risk and thus precious which is the main issue here too many "YOLO I'll respawn in 30 seconds anyway" ridiculousness.

I think we should be able to use the craftable leather bag as well as a backpack, to put guns in, nothing substantial a few pistols or an MP5. That would be good enough instead of some almighty military gear everyone would clammer for, it would encourage people to take to the forest and hunt too.

So you don't think it would be annoying if you were new and got killed over and over before you even got to do anything? Killing bambi's is pathetic it's like shooting fish in a barrel and the people who do it act like they're awesome. The mentality of the people who play it should be changed it was never supposed to be a massive GTA deathmatch but that's what you mod players turned it in to and that's what you won't let it change from. Hilarious how you all hate on console gamers for being casuals when you play games just like them. It's not the game, it's the players. KOS is just dull and boring who finds excitement in sitting in an airfield shooting people? Just yesterday I basically let a dude kill me just so I could shoot him a couple of times where is the fun in that? There's no skill or anything involved I had a 1911 and had to walk up the stairs slowly. It's just such a lame way to play the game do people not like a challenge? I love that we get grenades now, camping on the second floor of the building with the jail cell is very dangerous now... I'm just going to server hop and get a backpack full of them just to camp around there and kill KOSers.

It's still lazy and sad though how do people not enjoy the adventure of gearing up. I love being absolutely starving and being able to eat 4 cans of food I've collected, it feels epic to come back from the brink.

All the more reason for people to try stand out and not do shit like that so that the mentality might die down and banditry be a rare and scary occurrence not all there is to experience pretty much. That guy attacking you with the fire extinguisher was hilarious you were feeding him and everything but nope, too lazy to find his own gear...

Beyond barricades there should be NO escape! It's about time zombies became a threat, so I think they should have new skills like climbing up ladders and maybe opening doors(when they don't just run through them) unless they're barricaded or locked by players. This would be fantastic and it would add so much difficulty, you can run away from a horde up a hospital roof but if you don't have a gun and loads of ammo, you're screwed 30 zombies are coming up that ladder. This is how it should be in my opinion, no more safe camping on roofs to shoot everything, if you fire a shot the zombies are coming, make stealth 100% necessary in build up areas. Just that makes it the zombie survival game we need it to be.

Safety should be barricading yourself in like if they let us move furniture and lock doors behind us, you're safe if you keep stealthy too but if you slip up it shouldn't be so easy as climb a ladder! Yeah I think the runners should be fresh zombies essentially, with the motor functions and intelligence to open doors(maybe it could take them a while) And then crawling ones for a start leap a hella distance, unless it's a tall ladder they should be able to jump up so their arms are on the roof and pull themselves up slowly they seem fairly animalistic, monkey like even. Plus maybe they're stronger no normal human can crawl like they do as fast as they do and jump like that. Maybe the zombie virus turns us in to apes... Hilarity aside. It'd be pretty great. It would make stealth weapons incredibly useful and make everyone think twice about shooting anything since they might have to take on many zombies with no escape.

Because people who ruin the fun in exploring for newbies are such nice people. Call me carebear all you want that's just an opinion, I have the asshole opinion of you makes no difference to our lives. Fact is KOSers piss off a lot of people and a lot of them have turned away from the game because of their senseless behaviour. Yeah "arguing classes" that was just priceless. And all the stuff about being trained to use guns etc probably more like watched a few movies or YouTube videos.

But also you can lay on sofa's and bed to restore stamina. Imagine how funny it would be coming across people sleeping in a double bed in the middle of a road I so hope they make that possible.

Yeah currently someone with a backpack full of loose ammo and other metallic objects can run up behind you with big hiking boots on and be silent until they're like 10m away. I'm not sure they can make sound so complicated that you would hear the stuff in their backpack clanging together so environmental hazards like cans is a very great idea.

I'm fairly sure it only recently got nerfed. Anything up to 10m is an easy kill that's what it should be used for it's not main weapon material ideally saw it off and use it to clear buildings. It has it's place. Just because you can't kill people from 50m with it doesn't mean they should remove it, else they might as well remove the Amphibia and Sporter and everything else crap and just leave AKM's and M4's because they're good. There needs to be some shit weapons you're forced to use or run away. If you have no weapons and are locked in a house with 20 zombies on your ass and there happens to be a shotgun with some shells there used properly it's gonna save you. Better than nothing.

And a trailer for cars. When it's set up so you can have a base that stays after server restarts imagine how cool it would be if you and some buddies could take a fridge and tables etc and kart them back. Maybe they could add pristine, worn, damaged and badly damaged furniture so your goal could be to create a nice clean base B) That would be awesome.

I've played it like 300 hours or something hold on I'll check... Think the counter was reset it used to say 200 now it says 124 but whatever 124 hours is more than enough so your argument is invalid. Your argument classes scare me bro... I'm not going to bother replying to all that because you've ordered it in such a messy fashion that it's a pain to read but I'll reply to highlights. 1. Are you serious? I'm not talking about getting a bunch of people and trying to kill all the infected I'm talking about getting a bunch of people and escaping while fighting them off, one person can't do that. How the fuck does defending yourself make you a hypocrite? That makes no sense. People would have to form groups for the human race to survive, just because some people would group up and protect each other doesn't mean they wouldn't shoot people who attacked them what in the fuck are you talking about? Sometimes it would be necessary to shoot people but not all the time, maybe if you're retarded or don't want to people to survive. 2. You must be one of these cool hardcore people. Again for serious? No they wouldn't, they would not wade through zombies in Berenzino and sit on a hospital to shoot people, in fact in virtually every zombie movie and book ever the focus is getting the fuck away from cities and the hundreds and thousands of zombies that would be there. A smart person would take what they need and go not camp on a roof and watch it, find some empty cabin in the middle of nowhere. You have very poor ideas on survival my friend. Anyone who sits on a roof shooting people would never get down again unless they had grenades or something to clear away the mountain of zombies that would stand around the building. I...what? Do you realize how dumb that is? Maybe you're shooting a weak link. Maybe you're shooting a monster who could rip zombies apart with his bare hands or a mechanic or a doctor or someone who has the cure to the zombie plague, shooting them on sight is fucking beyond stupid. What a smart person would do is hold them up and try to discern whether or not they'd be useful then either let them go or shoot them if they seem like they'd come back with a grudge. Stop calling me the stupid one when you clearly haven't put any intelligent thought in to how people would survive, people who try to lone wolf it would only survive if they kept away from everything and they're just going to die alone, explain the intelligence in that compared to getting a few hundred survivors, making a base and living on. Not really, shooting isn't hard at all. Shooting someone 1000m away requires some math but shooting in general doesn't or have you never heard of rednecks? People that can't even read can shoot good, math doesn't matter it only helps in complex shots. Shooting something 50m doesn't require an extreme level of skill. I'm 20 how old are you? You argue like you're pre-pubescent. You called me self-sympathizing as if I got shot once and suddenly proclaimed that shooting people is wrong and that the game is terrible. Which isn't the case, plenty of people are fed up with the KOS bullshit and I'm on their side because I and they want to play this game like it's real life, not CoD or GTA where it's kewl to kill everyone 360 no scope style. If they're retarded. If you get in a zombie apocalypse situation and your "surviving" is living off canned goods until death you are stupid. A smart person would find somewhere deserted or an island, get some people and go live there and create renewable food sources AKA farm. People that just collect stuff and move on are merely prolonging death it hardly qualifies as survival. Primal instinct doesn't work that way if you were by yourself and threatened by people shooting at you or zombies, yes. If you wanted to live on and have a family you would find people and live with them. Hardcore man, so hardcore. You could survive on your own just fine, whatever. You would die on your own. Standard civilians who don't have your wealth of knowledge would band together and adapt or do you think everyone has the knowledge to survive on their own? Everyone has different skills a community with a mechanic, doctor, hunter, dentist, farmer, engineer and scientist is far more efficient than one guy. They might slip up and all die like in the movies but not every group would. If you're even legit with all that can you not even picture how people who aren't trained in those ways would operate? Just because you can do that, if you can, doesn't make you some kind of genius. You would enjoy a lonely survival and die when you started getting old or sick whereas groups of people who found somewhere defensible would be having kids and building society again slowly.

Yeah I mean when zombies aren't intangible mutants with special powers they should do crap like this, if we can hide in buildings from hordes of them chasing us it will be way too easy.

Yeah this is why losing sanity for killing people isn't needed, in due time PvP will be restricted to empty fields and forests. Although there will still be rooftops that could be a problem one guy could take a whole city since he has an army of zombies below him ready to attack anyone who shoots back... Maybe the new crawling zombies should be able to jump up ladders? Imagine how cool that would be.

It's called sleep bro he posted that at 6:40AM where I live, get your head out your ass. I'm not threatened by some 12 year old on the internet spouting insults. No it isn't. It just isn't, every game with one element of something doesn't make it that genre of game shit like CoD has moments where you work out puzzles or drive, are they puzzle and driving games? Fuck no. Sandbox means you have freedom to do whatever you want but that doesn't mean it's decent to spoil other peoples fun, at least have some kind of etiquette instead of just being a gun toting moron. I actually don't, I've only been killed by people maybe 10 times and like 3 of those were because as a fresh spawn I kept attacking the same guy who shot me to annoy him since I spawned in Berenzino where he was those 3 times. I just recognize that it bothers A LOT of people. I'm wrong because I give a shit that people ruin it for others? Well fuck you too. Funny that you say I only care about myself getting shot when it's you guys who just want to shoot everyone for your own enjoyment even if that means being an asshole. Lol arguing classes? You should keep going bro, endless insults and "I don't like you" statements is not an argument you must be like 12. And for your information I'm a great shot and have no qualms with killing people or zombies I honestly hope a zombie apocalypse happens before I'm too old to be effective, it would be interesting. So let me get this straight I would be the first to go because my first call of action wouldn't be to just murder everyone? Lol that's so fucking stupid, it's not smart to get a group and fight them off? Seriously, who in a zombie apocalypse would act like the majority of DayZ players? That's just too funny. Shooting people would be a necessity in some cases. Freaking nobody but the most broken people would sit on a roof like "There's a cool jacket in that house I AM GOING TO SHOOT EVERYONE THAT GOES NEAR IT!" But yeah, keep kidding yourself that KOS is the smart playstyle for a zombie apocalypse because in fact you'd be one of the first to go thinking by yourself you're going to take on 30 running zombies. Argument classes...priceless. Also Yes because in DayZ there could be only like 100 people left in the whole world, explain how it's smart for them all to kill each other. They have less of a reason to kill each other...how can you not get that.

So many hours ago in game I got food poisoned and was going to let someone here kill me to have my gear because the screen was black and white(even though it was only the olive sick icon...) But I decided screw it and pushed on, slowly getting more sick and occasionally vomiting. Then I found 7 badly damaged charcoal tabs after hitting the brown/red sick status(not bright red) Took all of them, stopped being sick and stopped getting messages about it. For hours it stayed as the same icon but my screen gradually went back to it's usual colourful self some 2-3 hours later. And then I found some blue berries. I seen on the forum that they're poisonous so I thought fuck it lets see if they lied or not! They didn't, more food poisoning! And another charcoal tab quest. I went to the hidden military base where there's 2 hospitals to look for some, none, got an AKM at last w00t. On the way there my sickness got worse. And then after a while it just went away...not complaining... Does healing status cure you? It had been something like 5 hours since I took those 7 charcoal tabs. I took some antibiotics for kicks too, pretty sure they don't help though. If charcoal tabs continue to work 5 hours later I'm not sure why my sickness would stay bad, almost go away and then after consuming another poisonous item get even worse then disappear...

Ah, well I wasn't actually healthy I hit healing status after eating the berries and some steak, it must have helped. But it seemed to do it so quickly, if that's how it works you don't really need charcoal pills :lol: Nope sorry I was using an SKS before. I actually like my AKM as a sniper right now(PSO scope) awesome gun. Perhaps about the disinfectant was just to get people to try it :P

I'd like the option but I'm not sure what use it would be other than for lols like using the defibrillator in Battlefield to kill people, spray can flamethrower I mean. It could be a good torture method I guess but it's kinda useless, maybe to burn bases down? As for fire + zombie = deadly flaming zombies that makes no sense these aren't magical zombies if they're muscles were burnt off they wouldn't be able to walk any more. Fire is only sometimes ineffective in movies realistically against non supernatural zombies it would work fine, there would maybe be a minute or two of a burning zombie doing some extra damage to you. With their noses burning off and their eyes boiling they're not going to be very dangerous for long unless they have ESP...

But if a server was on for hours with 100 people eating cans of food and using other waste producing things it could become a problem. However 64 bit servers might handle it just find guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The option to drink disinfectant is just an authentic option. Can you drink disinfectant? Just because there are some things related to PvP doesn't mean it's a PvP game. They're adding vehicles soon, will that make it a racing game? It doesn't have a focus on PvP that's just a guideline because people act as bandits are you stupid or something? How about looking at practically every info site, Wikipedia for instance. It's an MMO survival horror that's the official genre. Oh look, it even says "survival" Sometimes you need to survive other players. But picture this, nobody fights each other ever which is entirely possible as nothing forces PvP. Is it still a PvP game? Your logic is full of holes.

Suggested before but I'm not sure about fruit peels, I like that. It would be cool since you could track people who weren't being careful with their thrown away banana peels... Not sure if this has been suggested but cans could be used for traps, place them behind a door so when it opens you hear it rattle. Or maybe you could tie them on some string between two objects as an alarm system in your base. There would no doubt be litter everywhere too non player generated, I doubt before this apocalypse happened all of Chernaus went on a clean sweep. So there should be lots around urban areas for you to knock over and attract zombies/players. Zombies especially, when stealth is possible we need somewhat natural traps to give us away like that. It would be very cool. (I feel this topic might get shot down since most has been suggested already so I'm adding more :P)

Survival. Not PvP. There is PvP but it's not a PvP game. Sometimes PvP is necessary for survival but it's not a PvP game. Just because you play it as a PvP game doesn't mean it is, it's an MMO horror survival game it has never ever been stated to be PvP centric.

Um have you even seen how many people already hate it because most of the people are assholes? There's already tons of people who won't buy it because of pricks that KOS everything instantly instead of letting them enjoy the game. I never said PvP at all would harm the sales but killing fresh spawns does. Did you never see the rage over games like CoD when spawn camping was possible? They had to rework it in the next games because people complained so much. Same thing. If that doesn't make sense to anyone there's not much point in me trying to explain. At what point did I say only you and only you were going to do that? You must not have went to Berenzino as a fresh spawn then on a high pop server it's a very rare event that someone isn't on the hospital or a rooftop with a buddy watching their back killing everyone. I've stood right behind people as they've done it(by themselves) multiple times, not thinking to look behind them because the only thing of importance is killing other players which is just stupid. Yes people, we have FREEDOM in this game! :lol: And what do the people do with it? Treat it like every other shitty game with guns. I'm probably right in concluding most of you play this because it's hardcore, not some shitty "casual" game. Well why the fuck do you play it like it's a casual game then? Might as well be Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption online, play one of those and the only difference you'll find is the land scape, play style diversity is virtually identical. Maybe DayZ is a "hardcore" game. But you play it like casuals while hating on casuals and it's absolutely hilarious. They play killing games to kill people you play a game with an extreme amount of freedom...to just kill people, hardcore? It's beyond a joke.

He made this topic because he felt he had to justify it because he knows he's being an asshole to people, simple. It harms the games future, it isn't this guys fault entirely of course but everyone who behaves like this stops people buying the game and for what? "The lols"? The fuck legit reason is that. Just because you have the freedom to do something doesn't mean it's totally fine to do it, I could come burn your house down if I felt like it there is no restriction stopping me, so because there's no restriction does that mean it would be fine? Very faulty logic. If people stop playing this alpha and don't buy the full game because of bami killers and general KOSers then they've directly had a negative impact on sales. Not really, target practice and testing are totally different things, do you think he reports his findings to the devs? No he has his "target practice" for sheer selfish enjoyment, same with all of them. Target practice is building up ones skill in shooting a weapon which is completely irrelevant when they're going to be completely different in the full release, as I explained. Don't even try saying "Lol I'm just testing the guns" everyone sees through that.
