Rags!

Very quickly.

God bless you.

That character on the menu you see?

For me, I normally tell people to stay away from me if I'm geared up enough. They have one chance. If they don't go away then I kill them. I normally try to make friends and communicate with people, though. But I'm still wary. Of things.

All some people think about is how they can get their hands on grass.

I guess some people just want things to bitch about. It's cold in here.

You are not a fun person.

Left 4 Dead and DayZ are nothing alike. One has a chat box that all players can see and voice chat teams use, and all players are close together in a linear path. DayZ is 225 square kilometers with 50 players wandering all over the place. The fact you compare these two is astonishing. It's unconceivable that you could think these two could be compared. What will we lose if players can't say racist words? You lose the most central, fundamental, basic element of what DayZ is... a player interaction driven survival game with no consequences and no policing. You lose the ability to use a word, and no game like this should punish you for using bad language when it is full of murder, cannibalism, and unadulterated player interaction.

Because there's lots of nothing in between the things.

I don't care what offends you.

Then I'll tell you what I think of your idea: I think it's bad. Bohemia Interactive should not be issuing bans against people who use racist language or chat in DayZ. You can't build a game that pulls its greatest strength from unadulterated player interaction and then ZAP somebody out of the world because they said "Kill the niggers" or "Jews have big noses". If you don't want to hear racist language, then that's too bad. Welcome to life. Welcome to DayZ. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. It's one thing to police server messages or names (I fully support that), but policing in game player interaction? That's going too far. You can't have a game where you can do anything to other players and say anything to other players if you have the threat of a ban hanging over you if you say something that some people think is too mean. Because that's basically what this idea is. It's putting a limit on how mean you can be to your fellow man...and in a survival game like DayZ that just isn't good game design. Also, you say that a lot of this is the server owner's responsibility...and that's also wrong. That's extremely wrong. As a server owner, why should I be held responsible if somebody who's ten kilometers away calls somebody a spick or a honky or a porch monkey? Why should I be punished for that? It's one thing to police a forum where you can see everything that is posted in text form for all to see. It's one thing to monitor a game of Counter Strike where you can ban or kick people for cheating or glitching, but in Chernarus, players can be separated by vast distances and some players may only say something racist or incredibly offensive one time to one person...and in a game where you can't tell who people are by just looking at them or a scoreboard or a kill feed...you tell me how I am supposed to police my very own Chernarus. I don't like people using racist language, but it doesn't bother me because I'm mature enough to just ignore it and accept the fact that people who use racial based insults are just not clever, witty, mature people. That's all it comes down to. You can call me anything you want, but...I'm just not twelve years old. I just don't get how people can be so offended by words. Maybe I'm naive like that, but it just seems to me that if some randy nobody that you meet in DayZ can make you genuinely upset by using a racial slur...maybe this just isn't the game for you.

It's possible that the design of the backpack storage area takes into account the intention of people to pack in the items in a variety of ways already. As long as this doesn't go overboard, though, I wouldn't mind it that much, even if the addition of ropes or bulap sacks to your backpack was simply an increase in storage space. Keep in mind, though, that weight will be added in the future. You won't be able to pack mule your rock and lead collection over hill and under hill forever.

You shouldn't have to say you aren't a racist and that you don't like it. That's a given. The fact that people have to actually say out loud for the record they are not racist is silly.

Meh, it happens. I recall a server I joined once here on DayZ and the welcome message was "All niggers must die". Some people are just like that.

At the same damn time.

Feast your eyes on this gloriously beautiful piece of electronic ergonomic handjob simulating plasticness. :wub: This is a Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, but it should be called the Logitech G600 Best Thing Ever For Everything. <-- Look at all those buttons. There's twelve. Jesus could have a button for every disciple. ^^^ Motherfucker has a third mouse button. Shit's insane. Logitech software lets you have profiles for games and people and lets you take all of the functions on this mouse and turn them into anything. For example, my third mouse button WHICH THIS MOUSE FUCKING HAS I have assigned to "=" because no game uses it. Then I just assign it to... Battlefield - Swap to secondary Call of Duty - Melee Guild Wars 2 - Swap weapon DayZ - Inventory Garry's Mod - Voice Chat Plus, if you want to just make it a super easy push-to-talk button for Teamspeak? Yea, you can do that, too. Those disciple buttons? Assign them 1-0 and wreck skrubs because you can swap to any gadget, any tool, any Exo-launcher-rocket-spawnbeacon anything. For DayZ, I can access every item on my quick bar thingy with my thumb. It makes things just so much easier. Buy this thing. It's not expensive. I can't go back to anything else. Now give me beans, you peasant. :beans:

Even if it doesn't work, you tried to help.

Stary Yar sounds like a Jedi. Also, foxes are overused.

I think we'd see a lot of people just...uhm...cocking their guns...

Shoe sizes.

They are actually quite common. They spawn at wooden sheds. Unless you're telling us that you saw hacks, in which case...yea, haven't we all...

This is a lot of work to go through for looking at the sun. I don't really know how many people just stare at the sun randomly in DayZ, but I don't remember doing it. The sunglasses thing makes sense, though, and it should be implemented eventually.

Or whenever fruit spawns it degrades over time into rottenness.
