I was told (not sure if true) that if you left the game while handcuffed it killed you to prevent being robbed and abused. I would like to se a feature that stops you from exiting if you are restrained "Cannot leave game while restrained" just to further enhance the fact that when you have someone you HAVE them

hey don't hate the player, hate the game

I just like the idea that they don't even plan on using the blood, but just out of being evil and displaying dominance, drain blood from a poor victim just for the hell of it

or "not sure if anyone has asked, but when are cars and base building coming into the game."

playstation is better no xbox is better no pc is better it programs all games on all platforms and has evolving technology but xbox is better

I get the chainlink noise (wind maybe) i get the clunk noise of what sounds like a paint can or barrel falling over (wind maybe) I like the twigs breaking (deer maybe) But the churchbells have to go. The ambient noises heighten the paranoia and fear of not being alone and add to the tension of the game, but as said above, so long as it has a source and the church bells do not. That said One feature i would love to hear when passing near a town is the distant ambient sounds of zombies echoing in the skies. There is a part in resident evil 2 game when you get outside on top of the police station and you hear the sounds of zombie errily moaning in the distance echoed out by the wind and it was really chilling

It's dean's weekend retreat

and we robbed him blind.

I have played many games over the years, some scary, some that make you jump (outlast) and others that frustrate you because you never get the timing right and you die all the time, but Dayz is the ONLY game I have ever played where I am genuinly always on edge. You walk towards a town and you are always afrraid that someone is going to pop out and kill you. You may be able to scope out a townbefore moving in, but you can never shake that feeling that you are being watched, is there someone there, watching everything i do? did i check all the windows first before stepping out? The one incident i had a few days ago really put me on edge. I had been killed & all my mates were at the army camp south of the nw airfield, so i had a lot of ground to cover to get back to them before we were all due to link up again. So after a few days of scaveging and getting kit I finally made it there. I only had an sks with 5 rounds, but before spawning out i decided to check the barracks and the big military jail building first. One of the main things i do when on my own is close doors behind me, because when you see a door open you immediatly becoime cautious as this means someone is nearby or someone is still inside. So anyway I'm in the 2nd barracks room (all doors closed) then suddenly some guy burst through the door. He then kind of panics as he wasn't expecting a guy to be in here, he jumps back, I jump back (Cornered in this room) and he starts opening fire. I didnt have my headset on so i couldn't tell him i was friendly, but by this point it wouldnt of mattered. The guy makes 3 attempts to run past my door and spraying the room with his M4 and somehow misses me with every shot. I tried to return fire with my sks & I swear i must have winged him, but now I hear the deadmans click. I got no ammo, I got no other weapon & im cornered in teh barracks with some guy toting an M4. Its taken me 3 days to get back here where my friends are and now THIS happens. I kid you not My heart was beating out of my chest & my hands were shaking like I was having a fit, almost to the point where i couldn't hold the mouse. This game was the only game ever to put me in such a real life panic that I was geniunly afraid & didn't want to die. I was quite embarresed to be honest as its just a game... but it didnt feel like that at the time. So bak to the story, I'm cornered in the room, unarmed and vulnerable. Then i hear the sound of a gun reloading, so I don't think, I dont hesitate, I get up and i run, but i got it on free look and walk so im panic pressing the keys to get myself into a proper sprint and i make it out into the corridor, I don't see him, but i know hes there, I then sprint to the door and make it outside, I don't hear a shot, but i dont look back. I then sprint to some of the closed sheds in the area and i dont stop, I keep running and get out of view. I reach the perimeter wall and open the main gate. After this i run up the dirt track that has a bunch of trees going along side it and i keep running til I make quite a bit of distance. I then drop prone, hide in the bushes and i wait. I look and in the distance i see the player run out from behind the concrete wall and hes scanning. I do not move an inch, relying only on freelook to minimise any sudden movements that will attract his eye. He lost me. I should not have survived this encounter, but somehow I did & i think i injured him in the process. He turns around and runs off away from me and the base. And this is why Dayz is the most scary & tense game there is. I jumped out the game after that just to calm down a bit.

Please tell me you have reported said website to the Devs because doing nothing is just as bad as letting them win. At least if the devs get hold of the executable they may be able to dissect it and see the code used and add it to battle eye. this way any fool who pays the money to get it will get really pissed off when they get globally banned for the privelige. No doubt they will cry to staff begging to be unbanned and say they didnt do anything wrong blah blah blah, but if they got it and battle eye detects it they are caught bang to rights and they lose $15 as well as the cost of dayz too

but you wont trash a car just in case the driver one day gets in and tries to run you over, so.... But yeah, the best way to not be a target or look like a target is to wear non military clothes, do not wear a mask or cover your face and stick to pistols that you keep in your bag. If you are seen carrying rifles and axes, people see this as a direct threat, but if you are carrying concealed weapons you can draw them at a seconds notice when some bambi with fists or an axe decides to become a hero. "Hey, you brought an axe to a gun fight dumbass.Should have decided to behave, now your dead"

whats more effective than a dev team trying to find a solution to a very difficult problem? Its us, all of us. Instead of complaining that more needs to be done, if YOU find a mag with infinate ammo, throw it into a bush. it'll wipe during server restart. If everyone did this there wouldn't be a problem. But we live in the real world and there will always be people that decide to keep them. I mean yeah it doesnt solve the problem as a whole and it wont stop people spawning them in but when hackers that use them are constantly reminded that having an infinate M4 doesn't make you invincible and anyone can still kill you, they may not decide to keep using them

absolutely. I find restarts always happen at some of the worst oppertune moments ever

we probably wouldnt have stripped him down if he answered us or wrote back on direct chat, but he just seemed to kneel down and stop dead as if he logged out. Plus we didn't intend to kill him, we were just going to leave him cuffed so he could wriggle out of them, but Mike pressed the mouse to raise his weapon, but he didn't realize it was already raised and he blew his head off by accident. I have to admit i have done that before when i thought my gun was down when it wasn't and made myself jump when i fire a shot

well tents will be coming shortly

its not the one in cherno

I am ashame to admit but I am the guy that runs away from a fight unless I got my mates to back me up. Cowardly you may say, yes this is true, but cowards live longer

no I found quite a few bits myself, I thought i got to the top but no it keeps going. You get quite a bit of vertigo up there too, not a lot of room to move about

you seemed to have quoted yourself in that post there. But yes you can't have everything, true, however if this were a true survival game, you would want to max out on survival tools and any food you can find, however dayz whether you like it or not is a deathmatch game because this is how it has turned out, due to fear and panic shooting on sight, so weapons are the more important items to carry than anything else unless you are in a team and allow everyone to carry something each so you dont end up as the donkey

this thread made me chuckle. It reminded me of when I was on a mafia 2 forum and some guy came on ranting about how his game was broken & how he was so annoyed that they released such a shoddy product, only to be told that the problems he was having was due to the games copy protection activating only when a pirate version of the game is used. And the whole forum came down on him big time & i even think one of the admins (who worked for the developer of mafia) got his ip details and took legal action. because he unknowlingly went onto the official mafia website and admitted his game suffered from a copy protection code he would not of got if he bought the game

and as you are by a fire, you are standing out like a sore thumb

I always find that the main goal of Dayz is to get armed up as quickly as possible to defend yourself against other players that are doing the exact same thing you are. The only problem is that by the time you manage to be capable of defending yourself, you look like a bandit. You come into contact with another player, and you panic, they panic too and you end up dying in a hail of bullets out of fear when both parties were probably not intending to kill other players, but the fact that you spent 3 days trawling the land to find gear you don't want to get killed. There are a large number of players that say friendly then kill you when you arent looking, this is what has damaged the game in the sense that most of the time you kill out of fear of being killed rather than teaming up and working together. The best way (alough still never 100% effective) is to never run around with your gun drawn, don't cover your face with masks because this shows you are covering your identity (just as if you walked into a store wearing a balaclava, you wont get a warm reception) If possible try to survive with only a pistol holstered and no axe. So when another player sees you, all they see is a bambi and not someone tooled up as an immediate threat. This way if they suddenly decide to start swinging an axe at you or try to airm their gun at you, you can draw your pistol and fight back. But shooting bambis is pointless and wastes ammo. True they can knock you out with a punch if you are not wearing a helmet, but dont put yourself in a position where they break you own personal space, until you are confident they can be trusted

another point to add that a backup is REALLY handy was when me and a few friends captured a guy and was trying to get him to join us, Then as i walked round the corner his buddy knocked me out ith a single punch and stole my m4. He then went on to kill one of my mates, what He didnt do was take anything else, mainly because he was a fresh spawn and didnt have room. So when i woke up I drew my pistol and shot him in the back of the head as he was about to kill my other remaining friend. I got my m4 back and i wouldnt have done that without my pistol as a backup. Seriously dude, in this game and this world, sometimes having weapons in your slots is more important than other things. its better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it

The random stop/start weather system of Dayz can be annoying, but not nearly annoying as seeing the text "i'm so wet" which is quite funny to read when you play as a girl, but my point is you see an icon in the inventory saying you are soaked and it comes up in big red letters saying you are soaked through. What impact does this cause ingame? does it ruin items? does it slow you down or degrade clothing?
