But if that clone dies you're fine, or at least I've logged out while being attacked by zombies multiple times and not been reset upon entering another server. That should at least only happen if you've taken some damage anyway. Well then I guess the game itself could log what the admin does? So Admin1 kicked Player1 and then shortly after Admin1 killed Player1 and loot their body. An instance like that, obvious abuse of power relieves Admin1 of their privileges.

Why can't you just disappear like when you exit on your own? Never experienced this but it sounds stupid. I'm all for admins having some power...but BattleEye or something should at least monitor what they do.

I love all these extremely pointless comparisons like the SA is going to stay as it is. All they're basically doing is copying and pasting stuff from the original mod in to the SA, improving on said stuff and then adding more. Of course it's going to be better, when it's done. This is like comparing a nice baked cake to the eggs, flour and whatnot of a cake that isn't made yet. AKA, stupid.

I find it hilarious when people try to act badass doing military formations and stuff. What I do is just run around people with my weapon down, aggravate them, run away somewhere, take my gun out and then shoot them when they come round the corner. It's also hilarious how easy it is to dodge bullets in close range, the no weapon run speed is insane you're like Usain Bolt in every direction in an instant so very hard to shoot especially with lag and guns just generally having crap aim. Basically I just abuse how limited aspects of the gameplay are in order to get a rise out of people who think they're cool. Employing these tactics I only die if a sniper gets a lucky shot, I run up some stairs(so of course my guy slows down and walks...) or I happen to run in to a tight corridor someone is aiming down. It's a lot of fun, once I ran in to 3 guys near a farm who as per usual just instantly shot at me, ran away round the farm took out my Sporter and chambered it, kept taking shots at them and then just running right past them with the gun away. They must have collectively wasted like 100 rounds trying to kill me with their M4's, got hit 3 times but survived fine. As far as I'm concerned there's more value to playing to win and annoying people than playing it like it's real life, it is a barely realistic game after all.

So I'm not sure if it's my computer or what but when I spawn the game is frozen for a good few seconds until it loads properly, I appear to be in the game but can't move for a while. It seems to happen to other people too, one day some guy spawned in a police station right in front of me and he was just standing there immobile for a good 5 seconds...I...I shot him, he had guns, couldn't take the risk...so I think basically he was in the same boat where it's just frozen for a while, it seems like the world around you still functions though because a few times it's started working and I'm already being assaulted by zombies. As though I just stood there and let them come to me when really nothing was happening on screen just a blurry picture of where I spawn. This isn't a complaint thread just wondering if this happens to everyone and what the problem is, the game, connection or the computer? I've got an Alienware X51 which runs the game just fine, my connection is kind of sketchy though.

Yeah that happens to me a lot too, it's like it just lies when it failed to connect usually if I wait, even like 30 minutes it doesn't load or if I hit exit it just goes back to the server browser as though I never clicked it. I think this 5 or so second wait before you can do things is a bigger problem though, especially if your connection or the server cut out at an airfield or something so when you spawn in another server your character is just standing there in the open for some snipers target practice. I know it will likely be fixed just wondering why it happens, the whole world has to be loaded but could it not just load the vicinity you're in first and quickly so you can be functional immediately, or almost? So like the 100m radius you're in works while the rest loads up, then you can at least hide if you happened to disconnect in a not so safe position.

Well considering the frame rate of throwing objects right now is like 5FPS I doubt they could get crumbling houses worked in to the physics very fast.

So after watching Mr. Moon roleplay as a trader I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if you could set up a sign saying that you're a trader, or just whatever you want? So you could say you're in a certain place, with a sniper guard and trade for things either you need or just to be helpful. Or you could just pretend and shoot anyone who shows up, either way people have to be careful. People who legitimately do it could encourage friendlyness amongst players which is...very rare, outside of groups. I don't mean ADD IT RIGHT NOW DEV TEAM but when base building is going for sure, that would be cool. Along with making an actual stall type thing or lockbox for your goods. I think it would be cool, people could set up a market of sorts, with armed heroes, it would also be fun to commence bandit raids on the markets of course. Maybe something with vehicles too signs on them or maybe you could paint something on them to indicate your intentions. When servers need to be reset a lot less frequently it could probably be a viable option and would make for some nice roleplay.

Well if it's just text no penises but I don't think that would really do anything to the game, I mean have you heard the vile things people say to players with female characters? Far worse than a sign or two saying swears. As long as racist text can be found and the players can be kicked for it it should be a fine addition.

I'm not necessarily against it but if proper military grade stuff is hard to find...that means it's harder to find and defend yourself against it. So you go in to this gun shop, running from a guy with a pimped out M4, military grade ammo and SWEET JOY you find an M4 and a clip! But it has piece of crap civilian ammo in it and you get shredded. No matter how rare the good guns are people will find them and just camp around with them, killing the suckers who can only find the crap stuff as it's all that's left. I would like some different ammo types but nothing significantly weaker or more powerful than standard, same with guns themselves. Hollow points would be cool I guess, if they made it harder to kill you while you had gear on anyway. No armour piercing 1-2 hit kill rounds though that would suck, especially for the M4/automatics they're godly and spammed enough.

Firstly, they should be there for picking stuff up or maybe the vicinity thing could be tweaked so it knows you're looking to pick something in front of you up rather than having to look right at it. Anyway so shooting is just ridiculously easy in this game and the cursor is why, nobody has a cursor in real life so why in the game? It makes third person view even more godly since you can look over walls and not have to use the iron sights or y'know, have some skill at shooting. I think they should remove the cursor completely so that there's actually something of a learning curve for shooting, in reality no random guy in a survivor situation can just instantly have near perfect aim so it would be cool if people actually had to judge where to aim. When not using the iron sights or a scope it's always going to be a "aim somewhere in the middle" kind of deal but not definite. Just firing with your gun raised, not looking down the sights is far from easy.

Yeah sick of you are getting wet you are no longer getting wet you are getting wet you are no longer getting wet I'm hungry you are getting wet you are no longer getting wet. That one certainly needs to go, I mean it's fairly obvious when you're getting wet. For when you're not getting wet, for example under a tree the sound should be the indicator the rain noise should muffle a bit to show you're not getting hit. Everything else in the TAB menu for a fracture your character should just be holding their arm or limping. Hunger shown by stomach growling. Thirst I'm not sure about though, maybe when you badly need one it could come up saying so.

Well I did wait and see if any similar topic titles came up, all I got was one about pooping :lol: Well yeah but even if they do it shouldn't be a case of aiming at one part of the screen, without using the iron sights there should be a good amount of swaying so putting a dot on their screen only gives them a general area, they might shoot to the left of the dot or all round the dot and everywhere but the dot. That's how it should work, people should have to use the iron sights to have decent aim without them it should be like blind fire that's in various games, though less extreme.

With all the money they have why can't they employ some more people to fix bugs? As someone said it's pointless to add 10 more programmers to fix the same thing, 10 more artists to design the same thing....sooooo....don't make them work on the exact same thing, there are a whole host of bugs and other things in the game. Get a couple of people working on the whole zombie brokenness, others on visual glitches and such. Rather than just a few people tackling all the problems. More money isn't an instant solution but it does allow for more people to be employed to come up with solutions faster. At the rate they're going plenty of other games are just going to steal their thunder by the time DayZ hits beta.

Yeah comparing medieval crossbows to M4's, like they're as powerful as modern crossbows is retarded. They might not look much different but the technology has evolved greatly, in a survival situation a crossbow would be damn fatal, no bandage and morphine would just fix it. As for I how I use it, not had the chance to use it on a person yet I usually find the bow and no bolts or bolts and no bow, then when I find the thing I needed...I've already found an SKS or Mosin with nearby ammo anyway so the bow is long gone. I wish SKS's etc were MUCH rarer and bows were more common so people would have to use them and actually have some skill instead of just getting an SKS and spamming the shoot button until you're dead, with no real need to aim.

How does getting sniped from miles away when you couldn't possibly see someone make you suck at the game? Or if they're in a wall somewhere, or if you just plain get ambushed. The games core is also not just about murdering everyone you see and it's like what 99% of the players do, the point is giving them tanks and giving them even more firepower to do so is fucking retarded. Non KoS and legitimate PVP should be encouraged not just "Hurr durr Im such a badass killin ppl on the coast when they have nothin"

And they're going nowhere so yeah lets give them tanks :lol: There is nothing to do in the game right now yes but a tank is just too much, ridiculous even they're only ever in post apocalyptic kind of settings like in the series Jericho to be eye candy they're not at all viable unless you want to intimidate people IRL. When they add in cars, hunting and base building that will be enough of a goal especially if they add in bears so you can try solo them or get friends to help out, maybe they'll even add in animal tracks at some point instead of just look in to the distance of unrendered territory, BEAR. I'm all for tanks, like I said before, if they stay on designated battle servers but not EVERY server because it will just make the game awful. What about people venturing to an airfield, where the tanks would probably be looking to find some gear? Those places are dangerous enough as it is with tanks relatively fresh spawns have basically zero chance to explore, there's no need to limit the experience of legitimate players just because some assholes want to blow everything up in an incredibly unrealistic scenario. So yes add tanks, if they're only in certain servers.

But there's no guarantee that there will be multiple teams fighting over them and a whole clan could just have all of them, or all the resources for them. It would divert some attention away from the coast yes, but only for a while. And also no sane solo KoSer would bother going up North if they were obviously going to get bombed so it encourages solo players or small groups to just dig in and enjoy ruining the game for coast spawns. I don't see how they could have vehicles not respawning completely work properly, if people left then they'd just be leaving this armoured up car or a tank for anyone to find so that just makes it even easier because it's already set up. Then there's helicopters too, finding the tanks would be both a piece of cake and take no time at all. Most KoS cowards aren't interested in fighting people who might actually kill them.

How would they even work? Mines on a road? People would just see them and avoid them. I don't see the point in ships either there's like no reason to go in the water, there's not even much of it. Maybe if they added some off shore town or island with good loot but why, still just makes it more of a war game since anything good would be weaponry. I don't know how bad it was in the mod but killing people on the coast is like all people do that, airfields, anywhere they see people and Berenzino but mostly camp around the coast because somehow it's fun to kill fresh spawns. NOW IMAGINE YOU CAN BLOW THEM UP OH YES So no, it only caters to douchebags who want an extremely unfair advantage. Again it doesn't matter if they're hard to maintain a squad of dudes can just server hop until they have enough shells and fuel to last forever, or they they can just spawn in where it drops. I kind of like the idea of a static tank or two though, with one shell added and maybe nearby there could be a destroyable building. Just for fun. But it would be a pain for them to implement just that. Someone explain to me why they "should" be in the game, I'm seeing that a lot in this thread, why should they be in a survival game? Who the fuck has that as a priority over not starving to death? Also armouring up things...I like the idea but how would it work? No person could carry armour good enough to actually do anything and why is anything worthy of being armour even laying around? The best people could get is corrugated metal sheets which would do nothing but suck, realistically. Or should people be able to put big heavy plates of metal in a backpack? Only for everything done to the car/tank to be reset in a few hours anyway, with the amount of time it would realistically take to set up the kind of crap mentioned in this thread the server would be almost resetting so it's even more pointless.

Yeah as soon as you get a chopper you can go anywhere with your friends and just get all the food/ammo in a map they're so damn pointless. "They make it faster to get around the map" You're not supposed to be able to get everywhere in minutes, it's a survival game there are no fast travel options in real life, you can't just pilot a helicopter with no training in real life so why should DayZ be like that when it's supposed to be as much like real life as possible? Play the mod or play ARMA/Battlefield if you want to have helicopters in a game, instead of turning DayZ in to more of a war game than bandits already make it.

As with helicopters I do not see the point. This NOT a war game, why make it one? It's a survival game and as said if you have tanks you need to have rocket launchers. Which every asshole will just camp with in Berenzino or wherever an annihilate anything that moves. They make no sense to add, especially not with the lack of a destruction engine in the game this game is about realism so shooting at someone in a house and it not blowing the crap up is retarded. Cars will be enough, they will be tanks in this game and I think they're all that should be added in the way of vehicles, except maybe motorbikes or bicycles. Taking on a group of guys in a jeep or something would be hard enough as a fresh spawn don't give people tanks too god damn... The coast would just be hell and the game would just be terrible, absolutely terrible.

Well a red dot sight would be fine, provided it was on well enough to not be shaking around. If you had no other way of attaching the sight it's the best option, not perfect but something. I've had people kill me with an M4 from way up a hill, like 300m at least so if they can do that I don't see why the SKS shouldn't be allowed the long range scope.

Not in the game now but there should be later on the PU scope isn't that great, it's kind of annoying how the M4 has like 10 different attachments or something and the SKS, which is debatably as good has basically one since the bayonet is useless at the moment(and probably will be even when usable) Even just duct taping a red dot sight to it would be nice.

Well I don't have much trouble doing it, do you actually click the heads of the zombies or try to time the axe swing so the animation hits their head? I find that clicking the head actually hits it, even if they run past you and the animation completely misses since everything is lagged out anyway it tends to hit them.

Wouldn't it be cool if some zombies could get knocked out or take a hit to the head with an axe or whatever, appear to be dead for like 10 seconds or maybe even just spawn on the ground looking dead and then suddenly get up to charge at the player? It would be annoying as heck but it would add to the difficulty in an interesting way I think, especially when zombies actually have loot on them you could go over to check it and then it jumps up at you, so you shoot it and probably attract more or have to melee it and possibly take some damage, especially if you see that it has something you want but you didn't have the time to take it, like a bandage or can of food. Or in the case of military zombies much needed ammo/magazines. You could get round it by just double headshotting them but it would still make things a bit more difficult, and in stereotypical zombie fashion you've all seen a movie or played a game where something seems totally dead and then it suddenly comes to life and does something annoying. Right now they do seem to get knocked out or just fall over but it's only for like a second or two so it would be cool if they expanded on that and made you think it was safe, turning your back on what might just kill you. Maybe when they do more than just swing their arms around they could jump on your back and start biting you too, your lack of caution giving you a serious and possibly fatal wound.
