    Bambis can kill geared toons if they are not wearing biker helmts. Just offer one proper fist into the middle of the face.

     

    E: Not sure though if the ernegy/hydration levels affect your resistance to KO.

    Within a range of 150m I can immediately tell if I am staring at a friendly in real life. This is impossible in every single game I have played. Player identification isn't casual. It is realistic.

     

     

    True true, but there needs to be a clever way to implement it. Pushing character creation forward could do it, adding height, weight, face variations etc. But Im not sure how doable that option is since the player avatars would be in different sizes and that would just cause more problems/coding to get the items fit.

     

    Armbands,  rags + dye? = armband.

    Whats the fun in that, you see from miles away if its your friend or not OR in hectic gunfight situations were you loose sight on your friend -> just check for the red hovering circle/nametag.

     

     

     

    Stupid magic indicators? Like the status messages telling you that "You are wet. You are not wet." or "Hungry. Healthy. Energized." DayZ already has many unrealistic interfaces in place and I have no doubt more will be added in the future.

     

    Whats so magical about these messages, since the "feel-o-pad" hasnt come out yet it has to be a small text that tells your that if your hungry or wet or whatever.

    I mean, you feel these magical signs in real life, why wouldnt you "feel" them in the game in a form of text.

     

    But identifying people from distance by some hovering name tag or whatever is gonna take sooo much fun away from this game, even though it would only work with friends.

    Communication is a big part of the game, but when your friends are glowing in all possible colors of neonrainbow you dont need to communicate and try to be organized that much.

     

    I hope DayZ will remain the hardcore-one cause A3 mods are already taking the more casual road.

    How and who/which player killed you and in what way. May help to reduce PVP as players will know who kill them and know who to kill/not to trust in the future.

     

    I think thats big part of the game, you just dont know who to trust and who killed you. Could be someone from your group that went bandit on you. And the game already gives you a hint where the shot came from, if you listen carefully..

     

    Lastly, why you want reduce pvp? I dont understand why people cry about bandits but its the first time I hear someone wants to reduce PVP in general.

    Awww crap i don't like this spawn, it's too challenging..... *suicide* 

     

    Cool! i spawned next to the NWAF!!!

     

    Obviously you would need a gun. 

     

    You could also try chocking yourself with the battery or hang yourself from your t-shirt.

     

    But while running in woods and suddenly breaking your leg(s) laying there with pistol in your hand waiting for death just seems stupid.

    But how would you implement them into the game? Allthough they are very simple tasks, but making moonshine, growing pot, shrooms or any other intoxicant requires time to make.

    Finding them from the world, ok. Growing them somehow instantly, no.

    Is cannabis something that's likely to grow in Chernarus? 

     

     

    Hard to tell, its the same time of the year in Chenarus all the time and it seems to be early fall, august maybe. So its too late to plant anything for this year anymore since the growing period is almost over.

    What is the only reason that people want nuduity in game? For sexual pleasure. There is no other reason why and if someone says "it would add realism" my response to that is that a boundary has to be drawn eventually between a game and real life.

     

    If the boobies bounce realistic then yeah, I think they add realism.

     

    But growing weed, how do you wanna do it, press "f" to plant seed and after 10 seconds you get buds?

    Or you want to do the planting properly, dig the hole carry all the soil and manuever there etc. then grow it for 4-5 months (servers tend to reset faster) hoping that nobody steals them?

     

    No i think not, besides its more FUN and USEFUL when you do it non-virtually.

    Ideas are a good thing, I hate the mentality that there is on Reddit where if isn't an idea that the person already knows it gets the down votes.

    Basically making creative ideas dead, and all the conformist ideas right there.

    If you don't like someones idea, you need say nothing.

    Unless it keeps popping up.

     

    Could also have random nudie mags littered all over Chernarus+ as.. I unno... Collectibles? It'd be like a TCG with no game. Just collect till you've got em all to say you did! Or even better... a hidden safe with 10 locks, and 10 keys scattered across Chernarus+. Once collected (and the Safe has been found), the keys can open the safe to reveal........ SOMETHING OF WORTH! I unno... a Night Vision Scope for an M4 (for when night's darkness finally gets fixed), or a Thermal Scope for the Mosin (limiting the range of sight a bit because that's how Thermal works), or even a SWAT outfit that protects the wearer and makes all rounds do less damage to that person (until they're ruined of course)! SOMETHING! XD With the safe and keys spawning in new locations after the next server restart once the safe has been looted!

     

    Topic is about chess, not about totally random ideas.

    Cigarettes would be great, they don't really need any game functionality, for instance a stamina boost would just be a clumsy game mechanic. The RP potential would be enough.   

     

    Exactly.

     

    Adding more animations to an already cluttered engine, i will say no. Its not something that would make or break the game, so unless they improve the engine to hold few hundred zombies, its a no for me.

     

    Adding animation to put a cig in your mouth wont affect your fps anyway, unless its going to have huge smoke cloud hovering over your head.

    Also, we are not talking about adding it in the next patch cause like you pointed out, game is pretty broken atm.

    It would be great, and after you start smoking em youd get addicted to them and would require occational smoke now and then. If not your hands (aim) starts to shake.

    On the otherhand while sitting in the bush with your rifle you would be able to enjoy a nice cigarette or cigar even.

     

    Until then i have to stick with the real ones.

    yeah, sadly not much has changed on the cheat protection front. the fact that the sa has such huge success attracted a crowd which unfortunately contained a lot of cheaters as well... 

    Ive been reading the forums awhile and it seems that people dont realize what state the game is in atm. Usually there wouldnt be 2 million accounts when the game is still in alpha.

    Now that being said, I dont approve cheating anyway but at the moment I think it would be waste of resources.

    Its more important to work on the net code and game mechanics (you can exploit the mechanics in so many ways without 'hacking') and only when the game works should they start working on the anticheat mechanics.
