What could that possibly add to the survival experience? You want to run around in bright coloured hats because they remind you of South Park? I fail to see the relation to zombie survival, DayZ, realism and a whole bunch of other things. Besides, we already have brightly coloured items ... Slap those on if you're in need of a neon-fix.

That is not what I said so I will not answer your question but I will humour you with how I feel about it: Sometimes a server goes down and I want to continue my game or the server is not full enough to my liking and I want to run into more people. Why should I randomly spawn elsewhere, spending up to 30 minutes to get back where I was possibly getting killed doing something really boring, namely holding down W till I get to where I was? Then I have to wait on everyone I have been playing with to do the same and by the time we are all together again, it is time to log off. Next day, we might not be able to join the server because it is full or it might not be there for some reason and we get to do it all over again. So no. Random spawns are bad. ghosting should be fixed some other way and server hoppers will hopefully become less and less frequent with respawning loot

PETITION: Do you want to see the Gas Mask/Ballistic Helmet combination reintroduced?
King Raptor replied to Grimey Rick's topic in General Discussion
I was disappointed that I couldn't use my mask with pilot helmets any more. It just looked so quaint! Don't care much about the clipping, wonder why they disabled it. As if though they do not have other priorities to work on? -
More ideas for the devs (gym & toilet feature)
King Raptor replied to archamedes's topic in Suggestions
No. This is not State of Decay or GTA. Having to take a dump in the game will be amusing once. After that, it is just going to be annoying. -
Horrible! Some people like to play in teams and it would be completely unrealistic to teleport from one place to another, not to mention annoying.

I think the chemicals bind themselves with the chlorine and saline creating large enough chunks for to get stuck behind the filter. Funny how no one on youtube tried it yet they're willing to trash new iPhones, Xboxes and whatnot.

I think that could be done by just having different door states instead of trying to model all sorts of difficult things. Breaking down the door could be limited to just having it disappear after a few hits. Locked making it impossible to open and barricaded just giving it more health before it breaks down. Good idea, though. The doors in this game annoy the hell out of me. I'd break 'm ALL down to get even.

Grenade as a life preservation device - must read
King Raptor replied to Pokerguy12's topic in Suggestions
New spawn finds a grenade, has nothing to loose and runs into a bunch of friendly people he just asked for help. Lulz ensues. At least being forced to throw it warns people ahead of time and requires some skill to get it right. -
800 roebels? What is your beef with overweight virgins, any way?

So .. The music is that bad? I don't get it. You can't disarm someone with a firearm if you aren't trained to do so. These are ordinary citizens. Besides that, I've seen people train thinking they can grab firearms. For some reason, they always assume someone isn't just going to shoot 'm in the chest as rapidly as they can while they execute their slick moves or that the other guys with the guns are just going to stand there and congratulate the guy on being all Hollywood. Also, there should be no animations that lock someone in with another player. No finishing moves and no weapon grabbing where the other player can't act would be a bad thing. Getting a punch in and throwing someone's aim off would be fine. Way too military btw, it's about zombie survival. Sleeping gas? Sounds to me like you'd rather play ARMA. Stuff needs to be makeshift. Think State of Decay: firecrackers, crying baby dolls. Stamina-thing is good, though. Definitely needs that.

To the server admins in military gear patrolling the east coast
King Raptor replied to Robert Neville's topic in General Discussion
EAST COAST WHAT UP! -
Hm, that is once again very reasonable but once again not punishing those who are cheating which sends out the wrong message. If you pick up the mag, the M4 and then proceed to use it you're just as much a cheater as the guy who put it into the game. Should be some form of punishment if one cheats. But yeah, all for patching the exploit. Of course.
-
Well, nothing left for you but to try! Just remember that a ping of 500ms basically means half-a-second of delay between you performing your actions and the server receiving them so you can kind of imagine how that would go if all your actions in real life had half a second delay. I think, judging from the kind of ping I would have on US servers in many games, you would probably be around the 300. Assuming you have a decent broadband connection.

You getting ready to do some grade-A "It puts the lotion on her skin"-business with semi-real people, degude! Remind me to stay far, far away from you in-game. Especially your fascination with air-bubbles ... But yeah, darts are cool! It was already suggested a few times, I think they should only include a dart that will knock you unconscious eventually. Like after a few minutes? Give someone a chance to fight back or apply treatment and negate the effect (At the cost of like a blurry screen or whatever). Shouldn't be all powerful.
-
Yeah, sounds realistic. In fact, I think I saw it in the re-make of Beverly Hills Ninja.
-
That is far too reasonable. I understand that cheaters have wallets too but they tend to piss off your other paying customers and scare potentional customers away. We nearly quit playing the mod if it wasn't for private hives. Cheaters need to be dealt with HARSHLY. M4 + infinite mag = ban how can they NOT notice it when they have the M4 equipped? And where did they get the M4 from, any way?M4 + no mags = suspicious but no action takenInfinite mag + no m4 = Delete mag.Seems simple to me. If you're using the M4 and you found an infinite mag, you're basically caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

As annoying as it may be, they don't have to. -
Signs to tell if someone is hostile
King Raptor replied to natelawrence's topic in New Player Discussion
Sounds more like someone with ADHD. Why are you being discriminative? Seems relatively new? Oh, you mean like shiney? Washed? Polished? -
You want to ... Roleplay? With .. Russians? Anyhow, given the time-zone differences it often isn't a lot of fun to play on servers that aren't in your region because. At least from my experience. People staying up way past their bedtime make for grumpy gamers.
-
Haha, I was wondering if they could do that.

What's the best DayZ tutorial to read?
King Raptor replied to OptiKill34's topic in New Player Discussion
We just started playing and then looked up the answers to the questions that arose. Also keep an eye out on the change logs, they're the best source of information for new features -

sawn off .22 sporter poll ...should we be able to
King Raptor replied to slippery gypsy's topic in General Discussion
Exactly. Better focus on ideas that are actually game changing.
