Remove random laughing as a side effect for cannibalism please.
arlingtine replied to Jhunt7507's topic in Suggestions
I think adding kuru at all is a mistake. If anything it should be a 1 percent or less and never get higher. There have been several cannibal tribes all over the world forever but one tribe in a totally different part of the world suffers from kuru so it has to be implemented? Just doesnt make sense. Not to mention kuru was from eating the brain not steak. Cannibalism is a viable method of survival and should not be discouraged at all. Even the butchering of the meat would only mentally damage the weak minded. A human is an animal like any other. If its chop you up and feed you to my family or let them starve... i dont think i would feel that bad. -
Though i agree that server hopping is a cancer that needs to be destroyed i also realize that they cannot solve the problem this way. If they let you log out less than a couple mins away from the local then it wont do anything and if they make it farther than it would be game breaking for the rest of us. People dont always have an extra half hour to get somewhere to log out. Also if you are forced to log out in the middle of nowhere then you end up losing your berings and being lost constantly. I work hard at never being lost. You cannot use a method to solve a problem that punishes people who dont take advantage of the issue

I like the idea. Injected morphine is much different than the pills. I think they should add an advantage to using epi pin like faster sprint without overheating with the cost of possible addiction. For morphine you could maybe heal instant and be able to take double damage for certain time with same chance of addiction. Then once addicted you could take away sprint and make aim terrible when not on the drug. Make addiction a 5 percent chance rerolled every time you take drug or something you could base on rng.

I still think we should do it. When the world ends the ones with strong morals will be the first to die. Tell you what you come after me when shit hits the fan and i will skin your comrads and force feed them to you before i eat you. Look after number 1 first. That is how you survive
-
Human is meat like anything else. It should be up to the player if they think it is bad to do. U dont like the idea of eating people then dont do it. Dont like getting eaten..... hide better or fight. Skinning would be cool but not much u could do with the hide. Maybe a mask... bloodyface anyone?

Human trophy parts like an Ear Necklace, because we are bored.
arlingtine replied to danceswithzeds's topic in Suggestions
Wow.... Twisted.... and awesome... would love keeping pieces. Though chances are i would eat my victim dont wanna waste good meat. As for the ears. Great idea and necklaces would allow you to do it without filling inventory. Y do u think walking dead tho... diablo was where we all collected ears first -
Third Person View should be Over-the-Shoulder, NOT a bird's eye view.
arlingtine replied to Rags!'s topic in General Discussion
Play hardcore if you dont like third person... -
Why does everyone keep complaining about this. Without cars if u had to jog or walk the game would get very boring. Walking through a field isnt exactly rivoting. Encouraging people to play in groups.... if you want to then do it. I shouldnt be forced to play a certain way. Maybe i find solo more fun. Not to mention the lag i experience when running with others. Right now they have already added something and it is overheating and forcing you to drink more. That is all that is needed. Besides this is alpha. We need to be able to travel the map to see what is added and find out what works and what doesnt
-
Ive noticed (not only after patch) that my sprint speed is significantly lower than that of the people i play with. My sprint is slower than their normal run. Do i have a setting wrong? I have tried sprint. Fast foreward. And run and though they are all different to me they are much slower.
-
Ever hears the story bout the guy who went to his neighbors house to as for help cuz he had been robbed with a butcher knife in his forehead? Even if you stab me in the neck im still gonna have the time to squeeze of a few shots before i black out. Never mind the noise i make dying. Knives are almost never instant just shoot. If you cant then leave. You dont have to kill everyone this is not call of duty. If it is that important to you then sneak up with your axe out.
-
Sp would be amazing. Sometimes i dont feel like playing with others i just feel like surviving and exploring on my own. Not to mention how annoying it can be to play on your own for hours only to have some server jumper kos and ruin it for u.
-
In the status report it shows this is already planned. Not to make sneak attacks easier cuz that is not needed but so that anything and everything can be used as a weapon. It would also allow u to attack with a gun without shooting.
-
Not supposed to be boring either. Hate to break it to u but running or walking for 2 hours between locations isnt exactly rivoting
-
I still dont think stamina is necessary as i think the game would get boring if it took the whole time playing to get from one town to another (not everyone has 8 hours straight to play). It would be cool though to add an increased speed sprint if u used epinephrine on urself.

Clothing Pockets (Separate the inventory slots!)
arlingtine replied to jaggardos's topic in Suggestions
Item sizes should be fixed before worrying about slots in clothing. If you seperate the slots then u couldnt even hold a deringer in pocket. Not to mention all the things you could hold but cant already. Magazines is a good example u shoupd be able to carry in pocket of any pants or jacket no problem would just stick out. Space in clothing is fine -
The Effects of Starvation, Cannibalism and injuries on the players body and using the natural enviroment to your advantage.
arlingtine replied to Veteran Child's topic in Suggestions
There have been canibals forever. Just becaus among a tribe in the 50s they found kuru doesnt mean it should be added. They probably had some genetic defect or werent cooking properly. There should be no health downsides to being a canibal. Though i do agree with blood on face that would let people know what they were running into but not until they were already close. People should not be penalized for having a certain playstile diversity in how u play the game should be encouraged -
Not a big deal as matches are quite common. But i rarely need more than one to light a fire. Unless its rediculous windy or raining there is no reason u should ever need 3. They should add more ways to light fire. Sticks. magnifying glass. chemicals. U could use a flare.
-
I think they should leave the run speed alone for the moment. Right now the game is still in alpha and we are basically acting as testers. In order for the dev team to get accurate feedback we should be able to move around the map faster so we can experience everything without it taking a whole day to cross the map. As for vehicles i think they should be common for 2 reasons. One is that it would be realistic. I live outside the city in a small town and even here if me and 5 other people in this town were immune to some disease like this i could take any of 1000 cars in town. In the city even more. Thats just the way it is. Another reason is simply restarts. Right now the average server is restarting every 2 hours. Whats the point of adding cars at all if you have to work to get them longer than you have to use them. Even if they were persistant half the time i dont remember what server i was on. There was no war. No bombs were dropped. There was no group of a million car thieves to steal all of the cars. It only makes sense that they would be common. Even gas would be pretty common as u could siphon any car or even the tank below a gas station.
-
They should rework inventory so that instead of using slots in a backpack items just have a weight and u have a max capacity. Worked well in fallout and would stop things like a single rag taking up a whole slot. Would also fix things like people carying cargo pants inside cargo pants inside cargo pants for extra storage space.
-
I agree that the balistic knife is impractical. Even with the force of a regular stab the chance of killing someone instantly is pretty much zero. Never mind being stabbed by a blade thrown by a spring that probably doesnt even strike point first. NOt to mention that you just shot your blade and are now unarmed. Why would the devs waste their time on a weapon like that when there are so many usefull tools out there that coyld be implemented instead. For example the lockpicks that are being added. Or things to use the tools that are already in game for like the wrench or pliers. I think if u like the balistic knife from cod that much you should just play cod. It just wouldnt work like that
-
Thats what i mean. Just do away with slots altogether and use weight to limit how much is carried.

Tracking character lifespan/lifetime/longevity
arlingtine replied to ricoheart's topic in Suggestions
You can write notes with paper and pen so it is easy now to keep a tally of kills if u want to and when u get bored you can use paper for fire kit. I would like to see a clock to tell you how many hours you have survived for though. Is not always easy to estimate. To be fair i dont know if i have made it much farther than 10 hours yet. -
Awesome idea. I think that would be very amusing and could also be used when u had someone handcuffed. Great fear tactic.
-
I actually think cards would be a great idea. Something to do while sitting around a fire with comrades. Kinda makes me think about playing caravan in fallout.
-
I think the devs should consider doing away with server restarts. They could just make it so that loot rerandomizes and respawns every hour or 2. This way the server could continue through full cycles of day and night and changing of seasons. It would also give people more to do. Right now setting up a base is pointless as after a couple hours it will dissapear. If everything stayed then people would have a reason to go after buildings to protect or eventually cars they wanted to hang on to and maintain. Also when people logged off their bases would become vulnerable to looters. I think it would add tremendously to the game. A group could take over a town as a safe haven and try to keep it.
