Rags!

I think with unique item IDs coming into play, automatic deletion of those items would be enough. Banning players with those items could ban innocents who picked up duped items, either by knowing it or not. Once duping becomes pointless people will stop attempting to do it.

I give Bambis bullets.

DayZ: Didn't get the spawn location you wanted? Keep killing yourself until you get what's most convenient for you. Call it "survival".

...so?

What is it with you people? Why did you people even buy the game if all you want to do is play it without any other players? Why did you even spend money on the thing when all you're going to do is go to empty servers and gear up your characters like cowards who don't want any risk or competition? It's pathetic. It's downright pathetic.

No. Stop. Don't encourage him to server hop like a coward.

Yea, why didn't those lazy artists debug the game? The nerve.

It's server and desync related. I may have an odd fix, though. I have been told to hold down "W" to walk forwards as the animation is playing out, and it actually seems to work. You can "cheat" the drinking from water sources, though. After you press "Drink" and your character starts the animation, you will notice that you consume the water at the beginning of the animation. Enter your inventory, click on your melee weapon on your back, then press "Cancel current action" and the animation will cease. Then drink again. Then cancel. Spam this over and over...it's not graceful, but it speeds things along greatly.

What caliber arrows are you using?

I said it before, I'll say it again... Don't trust anybody that you don't have on your Steam Friend List.

You went to the NWAF and didn't expect to be shot on sight? Are you high?

Because shooting at people with nothing to lose is the most merciful form of target practice.

I'm hardly so exciting, but I would love to see a carbine variant of the Mosin Nagant that had less damage at range but a faster time to bring up and swap to than it's longer counterpart.

I have literally jumped out of my seat when I was in a building once and a Zombie just did the Chatanooga Choo Choo right through the door and hit me. Literally. The literal definition of literal. My voluptuous asshole vertically ascended upwards and left contact with the chair. I wasn't expecting that at all, it surprised me more than I can describe.

Well, I think both are silly.

It's really easy to not kill people on sight. Just just don't aim a gun at them and pull the trigger with ammunition inside. You know the risks, yes, but as a human being who is sentient you can't blame anybody but yourself for killing other players on suspicion alone.

If I said that child pornography was a far cry from genocide, you wouldn't say I was appearing to endorse child pornography. Why would you say that make it seem like I'm find with cannibalism because I said it was a far cry from wearing human skin?

No. A thousand times no. A PC will not run a finished and optimized DayZ worse than a Playstation 4 will. DayZ will be like the rest of the console's "next gen" games: running at 30fps. Also, as a PC player, I can barely type the words "next gen console" without laughing.

I literally called the two things a far cry from each other. I even put a little face on it. "Far cry". To clarify this, compliments of the Merriam-Webster dictionary: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/far%20cry far cry (noun) 1 : a long distance 2 : something notably different "The effects of the new law were a far cry from what was intended."

I'm not saying any of this from a moral standpoint, but from a gameplay one. It's the in-game depiction of such items that is different. I am against cannibalism, but that was mostly from a "It's pointless" reasoning. Same as I'm against wearing the skin of other humans. It's pointless.It's not necessary from really any sort of perspective. With cannibalism, the difference between getting human meat from a corpse and cooking it and eating it is identical to an animal. In fact, when you get down to it, the only difference between human meat and a deer steak is the name of it in terms of appearances. Similarly, when you cut up a human body, it's not graphic. Your character doesn't actually cut up the body, leaving behind a skinless, gutted model of a human corpse. In fact, cannibalism in the game is only "implied". You never see how character gut the flesh, blood doesn't gush everywhere, they don't put it into their bag, any of that. Similarly, when you cook the meat it's identical to how you cook an animal steak. Cannibalism in DayZ isn't graphic. It's mostly a text based affair. Your imagination does most of the work. Wearing human skins would require artists to make out and draw human skin versions of masks and whatnot, and for...what? Just the grim factor of it? I can understand that much, but even then...that's really stretching it. No pun intended. Now, if artists wanted to just use the same leather models for the vests that you make from animals, that would nullify their need to design their own models. If that was the case, then the reason I gave wouldn't hold water. Still another issue that I have with it, though. That would mean that every other player would be a potential ten slot leather vest, hat, food source, all that stuff. All this would do, it seems to me, would be to encourage even stronger the Kill-on-sight mentality that already plagues the game. There's no scenario that I can think of where eating another person would be a viable option to survival. With cannibalism, you would have to kill another player, skin it, cook it, make a fire, all that...if you're starving, you don't have that kind of time. I'm not saying it's impossible...maybe there could actually occur an instance where cannibalism was the only way to survive. Maybe. Those times must be incredibly rare, though. Mythically rare. As it stands, the prevalence of food and the ease of farming is a far better option, especially now that you can make stone knives anywhere and cut seeds out of fruit. I never said I liked cannibalism. I've been against it since it was implemented, but I've never made a huge fuss of it. Basically the idea is that I don't think making the bodies of other players actual resources is a good idea. I can certainly live with it, and I won't complain about the in game use of it. I've never complained about cannibalism while in the game...but I still don't think it was the right move. I can deal with it, though. It's no skin off my ba... ... Anyway, that being said, I don't like either things. I never said I liked cannibalism.

Just like with all things DayZ related, the first iteration of a mechanic is rarely ideal.
