Yep. This is a sandbox so I judge killing if I want to... :P I'm not against that killing shouldn't be in the game. I just don't like that you can do it without consequences because IRL there's always a consequence. If you kill everyone there wouldn't be anything left except zombies and zombies are boring. People have freedom in the game but people should use that freedom wisely. But the game is still in alpha so I don't judge too much yet. My overall experience is that people are way more friendly in standalone than in the mod. But I've only played 175h 95% of the time in experimental and beign killed by another player is under 10 times.

Hicks was that you? :rolleyes:

Banned from a server and/or hive and not from the game. I'm not saying that there wouldn't be any public hive what we currently have, I just meant that there needs to be more hardcore option even in the public. For example it feels very different to play Path Of Exile in Hardcore because if you die in Hardcore league your character can't get in that league anymore and DayZ's "perma-death" is really lacking that kind of feeling.
-
Naturally there would also be servers/hive like currently to please more casual gaming.

If something like this could be forced through the game the feeling would be very much different. X hours/days ban would be a big thing and then I could call this game perma-death. Longer ban for people who kill other survivors so you don't just kill someone unless you really need to do. That would make bandits want to really survive long and pick their moves. At least I would appreciate bandits more then because path of a bandit is a real gamble.

I sometimes use external map but I've never used the range calculator. I just count it from the grids of the map. The in-game map just needs to be changed. Part system just doesn't work unless I could combine SW and NE parts for example and town names in English makes the map useless for new guys. I would really love to use it because I like texturless map and elevation lines. Choosing your starting gear would be a cool thing.

Eating and drinking system - Please, just give it up.
St. Jimmy replied to Ham_Sandwich27's topic in General Discussion
At least well energized is still far from maximum energy limit so that's why you don't see the hungry status very quickly. That's why always eat when it's possible. In experimental it's bit harder I think. -
Some tape under the chin also and it wouldn't be easy

How much of DayZ have you experienced?
St. Jimmy replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
Never found someone's tent or made a bow. Just when i've had the tools to make a bow I've always made a fishing rod. -
I dont understand why there is no AUTO RUN KEY!!!
St. Jimmy replied to Bohannan (DayZ)'s topic in Suggestions
I hope they won't add any auto-run key because of all the butthurt. They can introduce auto-run key when the stamina system is enough hard so you really want to walk so it's really an auto-walk key :D -
Why do you need to change those file names?

St. Jimmy replied to Ham_Sandwich27's topic in General Discussion
I wonder how much OP liked the patch in the mod where you logged out and logged in after a time your guy was hungry so you needed to have some food always in your backpack? :P It needs some tuning so walking doesn't burn up so much calories. Also the thing why it's so hard at first is that your character is already hungry when you spawn in. But getting healed so easily when you're energized and well hydrated is too easy thing. All in all it's too easy now but also you need too much food and drink. -
Apply gamma settings -> restart the game. Extreme value could be lower. If someone needs to go that extreme then he already has tuned the gamma from the monitor &/or from the graphic card control. Nobody still can't stop program like SweetFX. About the game darkness vs real life. There are factors that affect how dark it's outside IRL: - Time of the day... - Moonshine - Time of the year (position on earth) - How cloudy it's - Naturally other light sources So there's not one answer how dark it's when it's night. Sometimes you can see almost like in a day and sometimes it really gets so dark that you can't really see anything.

From the store page in Steam and website: "We estimate that reaching Beta version with all key features present will take more than one year from current stage. " It was MORE than one year and not in a year or next year etc. So beta next year unless things are going really well. Vehicles could come before.

St. Jimmy replied to Bohannan (DayZ)'s topic in Suggestions
Real men have wheel and pedals. Just assign pedals and wheel right and you've auto run and you can even move left and right with the wheel while sitting back :D -
Phenomenon: People that constantly talk to themselves
St. Jimmy replied to t1337dude's topic in General Discussion
When I'm playing alone I usually broadcast all the time, sneezing, coughing, sometimes even singing and talking alone when I'm really bored in a middle of a forest. Yesterday I couldn't find a rope anywhere and I was talking "Rope here, nope. Rope there, nope. Any rope anywhere? I just need a rope" etc. -
There's a rag hovering right in the air in front of you so you could've survived :D It was in that guys hands.

Confused about how new features are pushed to stable for testing.
St. Jimmy replied to brazorf's topic in General Discussion
In experimental some new items spawn more often when they're released. Also they don't need 1mil of testing some things when 1k is already enough. -
It's WIP.
-
No infected needed. The wildlife is already deadly enough :D

Dayz mod (vannilla/epoch) or standalone?
St. Jimmy replied to ordomalleus25's topic in New Player Discussion
I've never played other than vanilla and Namalsk. Namalsk was too PvP for me because of the weapon spawns and what I've seen and heard about other mods they're even more just about PvP and that's not what I'm looking for. -
Why does my screen flash a light shade of blue when getting shot at? (Not trolling, I'm legitimately curious)
St. Jimmy replied to cheeseburger8's topic in New Player Discussion
The effect could be a left over from the Arma. In Arma gun also started to shake and there was some excessive breathing. -
Oh yes the street signs and map's names is one of the biggest things why in game map is pretty much useless for new people. It's very weird to have latin map only when every sign is in cyrilic.
-
But the pieces combine system is very flawed. E and W parts don't combine with N and S. A whole map can take three slots from your inventory because of this.
-
Well some work has because 64-bit and DX11 wouldn't happen without consoles.
