assuming many more features, systems making survival even harder/complex and tons optimizations and ai improvements... the smallest towns having 30 zombies and the biggest maybe 200... i could see some value in a single player game. It wont have all the replay value of multiplayer of course.

Have you talked to many people in real life? Play a game of poker this weekend, youll be amazed what you can see.

Making any contact with players is a risk, but a risk that can put you on edge as much as the gunfight. Trying to speak to this person you dont know... you might be sharing a beer in a minute or exchanging shots... but wait did he offer you that beer to occupy your hands or did he pull a gun to shoot a bandit behind you? Theres a whole other game in the social interactions if you ask me.

There is a means to report, you feel you are owed another way to report because they did it once. If you cant handle the current method to report, cuz 2 minutes to email is harder then 30sec to post a thread... then dont.

Im not totally for against the original suggestion, i kinda like its idea in theory but like you point out in practice there may be many holes in it. I just think in a game theres definitely a place for text messages for things you would know like the thirst example and maybe in the right circumstances other things.

Pretty true... theres 2 types of people who say they are friendly in dayz... truly friendly people and unfriendly people who dont have the advantage at this moment.

Can you look into the animated person eyes and see what they are thinking? Did you notice that animated face twitch as he said he was friendly? Did the perfectly still animated character slowly move his right hand towards his pistol? When you drink water do you have to check which green status bar you have?

If we go by the definition of a player who interacts with people while/before robbing, torturing or killing them... then a bandit would be the rarest player type in dayz. Ive not bumped into 1. I think the rarity is why the KoS people just got stuck with the term bandit... everyones been killed by a KoS player, twice, today LOL... but a bandit by the above definition is like finding a unicorn.

I have similar experience. Having found 3 M4s, 4 PSO scopes, a dozen-ish ignored folding buttstocks, i have found zero bipods.

you are an amazingly whiney toddler... does it come naturally or did it take practice? If you cant report a server with out stamping your little feet and screaming at the top of your lungs, then dont. The other players reasonable enough to see reporting servers benefits us the players will hold your hand and do it for you. tldr: have a lollipop little buddy ... there there... there there

Ive been to a lot of helicopters and bases... ive not seen one bipod in .49

Ive reported a few, replies are normally within a few minutes to a few hours. They tell you action was taken, however what the action was is between them and the renter.

Do you really think posting an IP would help people avoid it or send dozens of people into to abuse it?

Put the range finder on top of a stack of papers.... the papers will not blow away.

You use more then twice as much energy moving, and almost four times as much water when moving. The game doesnt care between walk and sprint, theres still and moving.

most of the lowest choices were too long

What I really hate is how many FNX clips I can find... rarest pistol in the game but apparently every man woman and child had a clip for it.

hmmm i must be crazy i find 3rd person axing much easier

What makes you think people are causing them?

Cool story, I enjoyed it. One thing kind bothered me... why do the signs in this foreign land have some English on them?

Ive never found anything like that myself either. If I had to guess... this is why persistent servers seem broken, the loot is spawning in areas that dont get looted often, like this room. This room probably hasnt been looted in a week on that server. But meanwhile people cant find anything worhtwhile near spawn points. Just my guess.

Imagine for a moment people played the game correctly... you spawn in ... and its night... and you arent going to just cheat your brightness/gamma up...

now imagine a world that doesnt deal with only absolutes... most of the elderly / children couldnt survive the virus....

Would it really be hard to picture why no children or elderly survived to become zombies. Situation #1 --- Dead before chance to get infected. disease is spreading... children and elderly are easily prey for zombies and easily trampled by people escaping them. Situation #2 --- children and elderly do get infected.... oops their weak bodies cant handle the infection they died instead of getting taken over by infection,

Why dont you try it and let us know how it goes? "FU buddy, you are so lucky I dont have ammo, you are so dead when I find some, but please dont shoot me till I do find it? kthnxbai"
