I never felt compelled to commit suicide. I mean, you're just going to be in roughly the same situation and you'll only increase server load by constantly trying to spawn elsewhere. (I might be missing the point behind comitting suicide but I assume you just want to spawn elsewhere)

Seeing bullet counts in character/bag screen
King Raptor replied to timoseewho's topic in Suggestions
Do not see in why that would be a problem. You can not -feel- the pain so you might as well get a visual indicator ... Dunno why spicing up the interface would somehow make the game worse. Mechanics will stay the same, it will just be more informative and thus more user-friendly. More user-friendly means more people will play it. Anyhow, if you want to make it realistic there should be no ammo count at all but just a rough indication and a way to weigh clips, like in Red Orchestra. -

Signs to tell if someone is hostile
King Raptor replied to natelawrence's topic in New Player Discussion
What about wearing a hat? Pretty sure I saw that discussed somewhere! -
We also ran in into the same problem with some people hearing gunshots and others weren't even though we're practically right next to another.

Poll - Why aren't people playing hardcore mode
King Raptor replied to TimF's topic in General Discussion
So obviously there is less risk when looking over walls in third person, is there not? When you look from first-person, you need to look around corners, hence you can get shot in the face. No such risk when looking over a wall in third person. So you would say it is just as safe to get shot in the face as it is to stick a camera above a wall? Obviously, there is not much of value to the object they would be shooting at in your case but for most people, that does not apply. In other words: 1st person = hard mode 3rd person = easy mode Just to make sure we're on the same page here. Ah, that explains what I ended up in! Signing out. -
I recall the game being rather laggy in the mod when the server cap was increased. In fact, I recall experimentation with the server cap that lead to them reducing it once again. More players would be nice but not absolutely necessary. I think the demand for more players will largely be offset by the introduction of larger zombie groups ... No fun getting shot at when you're running away from a horde of zombies.

60% explorer, 53% killer, 47% achiever, 40% socializer. Chance of KoS: medium (might fear gear loss or just want to test that new weapon) That being said, I need to see for myself if the shotgun really is broken. I'd be very saddened if it was.

Poll - Why aren't people playing hardcore mode
King Raptor replied to TimF's topic in General Discussion
Yeah except that you can not get shot when a guy peeks back at you. So. No. Not just as balanced. I do not really know what this conversation is about but I had to step in to give you minus points for saying stupid things. Carry on. -
Anyone like the idea of a more complicated reloading system?
King Raptor replied to MONKAYPOO0's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, I never quite understood that either. Maybe they want to make sure that everyone who follows karate lessons does not bother the instructor with not holding their arms in the right position? Ah, young grasshoper! You learn quickly! Why, thank you sensai! I play DayZ! I have been playing some State of Decay and I can't help but wish that DayZ was so fluent. climbing stairs, dodging zombies, searching for items (And that's a console port!!!) ... Not saying they need to make DayZ less realistic but they definitely need to make it more fluent. -
Ah thanks for bumping this! I tried to take the test but got interrupted and couldn't find it any more.

Signs to tell if someone is hostile
King Raptor replied to natelawrence's topic in New Player Discussion
Now, now now ... 900 hours and you only had a few friendly encounters? Maybe you are doing something wrong? I have logged less than that and most encounters with human beings end up being all sploosh. -
-
You'll probably go hungry faster when they introduce sickness, contaminated water, a penalty to being soaked ... You know, once the environment can actually kill you. I recall it being a lot more difficult to stay energized in the mod than it has ever been in SA.
-
I like your name.
-
Yeah, I can force people to walk around with pillows and then take pot shots at 'm! Approved. I will, however, have to insist that you use the propper spelling "armour".
-
I'd like to see you run a marathon with a dust mask on! Yes you do.

Poll - Why aren't people playing hardcore mode
King Raptor replied to TimF's topic in General Discussion
Oh but the hash tags ... ? -
Good, can't wait for everyone in my team to spawn as an engineer and the only doctors available shoot on sight. But yeah, I'll just run around bleeding out thinking how much better the game is than it was when we could all mend our broken bones ourselves. You guys are just doing this to troll us! You sillies.

A new approach to the bandits and heros situation
King Raptor replied to con_hathy (DayZ)'s topic in Suggestions
OBVIOUSLY! Sjeesh, we should just start banning people who play within the boundaries of the game as laid out by the developers. I think the easiest way to discern "bandits" from "heros" is as follows: "heros" should not carry guns. Simple. Stop carrying guns if you do not want violence to occur. And when someone robs you, try not to run away and try not to shoot back. No!!! Better yet, heros should have auto-aim and bandits should have infinite storage capacity! 3-month Steam ban should be their ability. And the more they level it up, the longer it'll be. What? I thought you all liked leveling stats! -
lol @ the "wtf are you saying to him"
-
Bad day at work? Pretty pointless albeit somewhat amusing. Or perhaps he stayde alive all that time or decided to start playing again? I had an M4 left over from a few patches ago, hadn't played for months.

Make server restart warning compulsory
King Raptor replied to General Zod's topic in General Discussion
They should just include respawnable loot already. Get it over with. -
Anyone like the idea of a more complicated reloading system?
King Raptor replied to MONKAYPOO0's topic in General Discussion
Exactly! That is what bothers me as well. As if though it would somehow be more realistic if a game emulated every single step that would otherwise be second nature in real-life. -
They must have tweaked it then because I used to break legs left and right with it. Everyone who got hit, instantly surrendered 'cause they felt the powah of my sword. Had an effective range of 10 to 20 metres...
