  1. I agree with you Ace. But if this something that Rocket doesn't want then I don't want to become dependent upon it. I'm just hoping we can get a response from Rocket to end the discussion once and for all.
  2. Loot cycling. The process of clearing a building of loot and waiting for it to respawn.

    Players going insane on too many player kills

    Cannibalism would outlaw the game is certain countries from what I understand.

    PK

    Comments like this are useless. You are basically saying you are tired of being killed and want the people killing you to be punished. Meanwhile you don't even bother to take into account that you had to make a fatal mistake in order to be killed in the first place. So now, because you screwed up somewhere, you want another player to be punished. Makes no sense. If you get killed by someone else it isn't their fault you died. It is yours. It has been said over and over that people will not be punished for their style of play. Stop trying to change the game to how you play, and change how you play to the game. You will find a lot more success.

    PK

    There are dozens of incentives for people to group together. If you are having a difficult time finding people to play with, I suggest using the forums and teaming up with some people in the Survivor HQ. If that doesn't work, you need to change the way you are approaching the game. If you were alone with no weapons, and saw another person run by you who was holding a loaded gun, would you just run right up to him? Doesn't sound very smart does it? You need to be careful about who you approach, and a large part of that comes from watching them hopefully before they can watch you. Observe how they act. You might even see him shoot at another player and miss. That would be a really clear indication that he isn't friendly. You can't just walk up to people and expect them to be nice. You prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Not the other way around.

    Infected dogs

    Already a thread discussing this topic.
  7. Never thought the day would come when people would want the enfield nerfed. Everyone I meet can't wait to get rid of the stupid thing.

    Underground Bases?

    Not sure where you read about this idea, but I do like the idea of having underground areas in the game. Sewers should be one of the primary ways of getting around the cities, and I can see huge underground structures at the military areas along with bomb shelters set up around the smaller towns, giving people more of a reason to go to them.
  9. This is the dumbest logic I have seen to date.
  10. Can't believe you actually believe this. Why not say using a better video card or CPU is an exploit also? Maybe I pay for a better internet connection, should that be an exploit also? Because of this, I suggest we all play this game on consoles from now on. That way we can at least all be using the exact same hardware and nobody will have an advantage. Welcome to PC gaming. Come up with whatever dumb RP reason you need to justify this but using 3rd party voice programs that potentially anyone can access is not an exploit.

    Suggestion: Way to allow trading

    Trading already exists in the game, and there is already a large group of people who dedicate their time to making sure it happens safely for both sides.

    Players going insane on too many player kills

    People creating fix PvP threads need to be auto-killed upon log in. Only reliable way of stopping these.

    Season changes in DayZ

    +5,000,000 Need some snow to play in. This is Russia afterall. Russia isn't complete without snow.
  14. You play with friends and complain about humanity? This is a sandbox game. You make your own adventure. If you and your friends want some more humanity, create it yourselves. You complain about humanity and then tell us you see your friends devolving into serial killers. Maybe change the way you play or change the friends you play with if you want a different experience. I assumed you were a noob because you posted the 5 billionth idea in an attempt to "fix" PvP. You brought it upon yourself. The stickies you are supposed to read tell you about certain topics that have been beaten to death. This qualifies. I do prefer it as sandbox as possible because it allows you to do whatever you want. You should not be restricted in a free to roam environment. If you want to help people out, you can. If you want to shoot people, you can. If you want to shoot people preying on people that can't shoot back, you can. You can do whatever you want. So if you and your friends are sitting in the hills becoming serial killers, a few AI witnesses aren't going to change that. You will continue to do what you want. There are plenty of groups that play the game only to help others out, and they do it quite successfully. The game is not supposed to adapt to your playstyle. You need to adapt to it. I can't understand why some people are unable to grasp this. There is no law. There are no rules. If you want law to be enforced, you have to enforce it yourself. You do not change the game mechanics to create it. You are saying you want a law system implemented when you can already do this yourself. So even if they did change the way the game currently works to adapt this idea, you wouldn't care anyway because you would still be shooting people from the hills. You want to discuss this topic but there is nothing to discuss. People who want to play a certain way have to figure out how to accomplish it within the available means in the game. Many people already have. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3910-need-medical-assistance-we-can-help/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/14818-freeside-trading-co/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2216-chernarus-quarantine-force-cqf/ Stop trying to make the game into something it doesn't need to be. If you want more humanity, create it yourself. If your clan members aren't on board with your particual playstyle, change you name and don't join on TS/Mumble/Vent/etc. when you want to play in a group that helps others. As the homepage says, this is DayZ. This is your story. The more effort you put in, the better your story will be. The Devs aren't here to create the story for you.
  15. Here's some new information for you. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28806-experimental-1721-test-patch/ Do you want them to send you a personal email?
  16. Of course you died. This isn't Halo. What did you think was going to happen when you hit the ground?
  17. He said it was his opinion. He didn't demand these are the things that need fixing. #3 is not a problem. If you think 3rd party voice comms are a problem you have issues. It isn't even a topic that is repeated on the forums very much. #4 is a bug which is going to be fixed, again this isn't a repeated problem on the forums. Most people know it is a bug already If you believe this you need a lot more help than these forums can provide you.

    Subtle signs of a bandit

    It doesn't identify bandits. If a bandit shoots at me and misses and I kill him, it will now look like I am a bandit. Now I am more likely to get shot on sight even if I was just defending myself. This by the way, happens all the time.

    How to use a rangefinder

    No. It takes the spot of your binos. Default key is B. N will toggle the nightvision once you are looking through them.

    Rocket, Loot cycling thoughts?

    Just because someone supports loot cycling doesn't mean they do it at every given opportunity. Loot cycling does have its own downsides you know. You do have to sit there the whole time waiting and doing nothing. It is rather boring, you have a high risk of being shot, and you don't control what spawns. I don't see why people would be against this.

    Fullmoon nights way too bright

    Thread can't be serious, hes gotta be trolling.
  22. Trying to uphold the law in a lawless world. I like it. You win the nobel peace prize. There is plenty of humanity left, it just isn't in cherno or electro. Stop running into death traps. Correcting the words presented to you doesn't help your idea either. All it does is turn people off. You presented the idea to us, not the other way around. You want humanity in the game and come to the conclusion the only way it can exist is if a machine is playing AI characters in the game. Maybe you can just try playing with friends

    Don't move DayZ to Arma 3

    Uh, at Rezzed he was pretty certain he wanted to follow the F2P model that minecraft is following. Where do you get your information from?
  24. Glad you think it's cheating. Welcome to 2012 where there are over a dozen different 3rd party voice apps available for free. You aren't preventing anything at all, people will find a way around it. All you are doing is making it more of a pain in the ass to do so. And really, some people do use their computers for things other than gaming. I'd rather not have any program on my computer that is able to monitor what I am saying without me giving it permission to do so. Tell me, how is it cheating when the creator of the mod has stated himself that he encourages Meta-gaming?
