    Noob needs help

    If the game makes you feel so terrible, stop playing, come back when its released. Im not gonna say what stage this game is at atm cause it makes people mad, believe me. Nevertheless in this stage its all about testing things out and if you think people are going to spend hours to find weapons just to be a "legit" player your wrong, you might enjoy it but especially for NOOBS its better to tell how to get items so they can test the game and get a good experience instead of wondering around and getting shot/starved/whatnot. Does it make any sense to you?

    Why not? Most are doing it anyway it just levels up the playfield for him. Things will be better in the future I hope.

    Surviving Day 1 in DayZ

    The sea is your best compass, if its on your right side you will eventually end up to north side of the map. And when its on the left your obviously will end up in south. And about the loot, you wont find much in the coastal ares unless the server has just restarted. So two options, get a fresh server or head more to the inland. Also i suggest you check this video out, its a great example how you can gear up in days relatively easy, you just have to be a little bit bold to make it happen.

    Plan for release of 0.45 to Stable

    Im not sure we have read the same forums. I think hunting has had mostly positive feedback and vehicles kinda split people in two groups, theres no consensus on that matter. And when you really think about it, which one is more essential to the gameplay? Adding cars so slackers can get from A to B faster, or adding survival elements like hunting? Im not saying cars are bad, but really dude, your post made no sense.

    Rocket discusses Smoking and Cigarettes in Day Z

    Thats why I didnt quote you and referred to the other posts in this and the other threads.

    Rocket discusses Smoking and Cigarettes in Day Z

    Its all about how you look at things. I personally enjoy smoking, I can find many benefits from it, enjoyment being in the top of the list. Some saying that it wouldnt serve any purpose in the game, sure. But neither does pink baseball cap or orange raincoat.
  7. Less military clothes and/or more civilian clothes. Full orange outfit > military camo.

    Make mics a requirement.

    I doubt that people who simply dont want to talk to other people would start talking simply by forcing them to plugin mic to start the game? Also once again, people who enjoy KoS arent really bothered about the fact if can the victim talk or not.

    More motivation to stay alive

    Amazing how this pops up almost everyday and always with the same suggestions. Cant we think of something that hasnt already been done million times over? Are we really that brainwashed that when it comes to implementing game elements all we can come up with is SKILLS and PERKS. I know theres alot of other suggestions too but this seems to pop out everyday.

    Silence while unconscious/dead.

    Well it amounts to some funny situations most of the time.

    Silence while unconscious/dead.

    Aww cmon taunts are fun, your not suppose to take them seriously even if the kid whos screaming is. If you get killed, you deserve to get taunted, thats how it goes!

    DayZ Confessions

    Where did I say that? I usually settle for PU and go shoot people like you into the face (ingame), why? Because its fun!

    DayZ Confessions

    What do you mean good enough to do it from scratch, no matter how legit player you want to be the fact is that the good loot disappears from the servers within 10 minutes of restart, if you want the good gear LRS, AKM, whatever, you have 2 choices. Kill a guy whos been hopping servers or start hopping yourself. Obviously the system is broken, but I wouldnt call people incompetent if they want the top items, because thats the only way to get them.

    Creating gear independent character value

    Biggest difference would be that perks passively increase your stats/skills while the AK doesnt do anything by itself.

    This is when the face hits the palm..

    Creating gear independent character value

    I dont know, my opinnion is that since 99% games out there already have RPG elements, it would be fresh touch if DayZ actually wouldnt do it. Especially when you want to rank the perks from 1-3 where the number 3 would be somekind of gamechanger = no game before rank 3 perks. Same goes with achievements, they are just as easy and cheap way to add "content" without really adding anything else than time sinks for players.

    Heli crash

    Why is US military crashing their helicopters into Chenarus after 10 years? I mean they have to be fresh (random spawns) cause they still smoking.

    DayZ Standalone Forum Best Ideas

    I dont get the metro/train idea. First of all, who drives it? Drivers still working on their jobs after the apocalypse? Secondly, what would power the train? Finally, skipping long travels just by sitting in a train doesnt seem to fit in DayZ.

    Perks/skills/professions/stats

    On a side note, I really like reading the suggestion area, people have wild imaginations. If everything would be added there wouldnt be any real reason to disconnect from the hive anymore. Alpha = everything is possible! On the topic, Id have to say no, but mainly because RPG elements are already done in every single game today and I dont really like grinding my skills back up every time I die (yes I like PvP,KoS,Banditing and everything else that puts you on edge in the game). But theres 2 sides to the coin. Some people like pvp and the fear of dying and some people would just like to socialize and craft fancy items. Obviosly only side that looses here (ingame) are the socializers cause they get KoS, and they dont like it. Then they start figuring out ways how to reduce the chance of getting killed by making crazy changes to the game. Like not being able to shoot properly. Or having permanent stashes for loot.

    Semi-Automatic and Auto indicator.

    Keep it open in your inventory, right click -> inspect. Simple.

    electric fence (base building)

    So would the generator noice also attract zombies? Would be easy to clear areas from zombies with it.

    Is vegetation going to be reworked?

    The main difference between Chenarus and Altis is the time of the year. Its a fall in Chenarus and summer in Altis. Thats why there are so many different colors on Chenarus. Also it means that sun isnt as high anymore, so with little imagination you could think that thats the reason Altis is a bit brighter. But in general the light effects are obviously better in Arma 3.
