Thing is most are not imagination deprived but we have seen every variant of zombie/slenderman/ big boss zed/ mutant rabbits/ nazi alien zeds etc in this suggestion part of the forum over the time and it is not what the 'zed' part of the game is about, That takes it away from the infected type of non-undead npc that dayz has. We all call them zeds, even Rocket, but the idea is simply an infected person as in the much mentioned 28 days. These people have not died and then crawled back out of the grave a la Romero style, and they certainly should not possess an unbelievable super power of sorts or some colour shifting ability. Having the infected suddenly shoot fireballs from their eyes takes it in an entirely different direction and twists the game into a more arcadey type direction imo :) Imagination is a great thing but you still need to stay within the confines of what is trying to be created with Dayz. For example instead of a different type of uber infected person i would prefer more elements added to the risk of the forest like bears, wolves, snakes and stray feral dogs in cities. Additions like that would keep you keyed up in the forests, as long as it is not overdone, i don't want to bump into a bear every time i play, but the possibility of it happening is enough.

pew pew ..why you steal my heli brah, oh look, there is another four over there ;)

Impossible to ignore.

Well avoid the buggers then. Just because a moving bit of machinery is in your vicinity does not mean you have to start sending lead in its general direction. Why this insane need for people to start pew pewing everytime a heli/car/bike comes into gun range. Idiots. And i mean that is the nicest possible way. Idiots.

Definitely try a vanilla server first, you will miss the whole point of dayz by joining a 30 helicopter 200+ car modded server. If you do happen to 'lose' something out of your backpack..look around you in a five metre radius on the ground, if there is not enough slots in your backpack the backpack will reject it and throw it out :) enjoy.

Wow, was that the pic of the survivor down at Balota ? The survivor memorial one..man that is old if it is the one i am thinking of. Classic shot. Betcha it isn't even that one. Whatever you guys. Piss off.

I believe Rocket uses the term authenticity over realism in the respect with what you can actually do (within a game engine/enviroment) and how it needs to be sometimes in a game, not as a referral to the dumbing down of anything like guns etc.

Heli with a mak. We have a new myth.

The back road leading behind Balota ? Looking North West towards Zeleno, there is a small homestead at the end of the dirt road.

I refuse to clam my tits..unless you are offering ?In that case i already have my shirt off, you bring the clams.

I'm angry and i haven't even played the new patch yet !!! I will use this anger to focus on hunting you down, or consuming more rum..let me flip a coin..*zing* .. ..rum it is. Lucky.

Dayz has created so much love and hatred in the debug plains..so much pitiless murder, may you both journey far and value the friendship of two warriors cast aloft and relying on each others banter to pass those trying hours. Salute ! my bretheren of the seemingly endless debug world.

Beaned for lack of :beans:

I'm going 22 $ or 19.95$

same. As soon as i see the ocean i relog and all is good.

Helis are awesome as long as you do not care about losing them when you are offline. Have a tent where you can stash your repair parts so you are not just adding them to the chopper as you go, if you have not finished gathering the bits by the time you want to log put them on you in case anyone finds said tent. Learn how to fly or its all down the tube. Learn how to fly fast and low so you can minimise the time you are under fire, don't hover like an idiot over hot pvp spots :) Carry spares onboard. Best combo is someone on the ground in a car and and two in the chopper , you can fly high enough to be out of range and a good recce unit for them , covering them while they are looting a wreck or an area. Even by yourself though you can have a ball. Just treat them the same as the number 1 'dont get attached to your gear' rule.

I thought there was a toggle ? Maybe i am having a moment.. i would like at least F9 through 12 opened up too please Dean :)

lol..advancements were amazing huh ;) I could not game like that but then again my setup is probably no good for you either..customisation is king. I hate having to chase keys so always have my setups for fps type games based around the arrows (movement) were everything is easy to find without ever having to look or run across a keyboard.

WASD never made any sense to me but it is default since forever :) Maybe it's just me.

I don't really get the thread either. Why even start with default when you can customise to your own preference ? Done it since day 1 of gaming..when i was a nooby mcnoobsta.

No. I can constantly get chars up to 4,5,10 and 20 dayz without a shoot on sight mentality. Part of the reason so many get kos is because they rambo run into every situation like a stupid tit :) Oh look someone in the shops/firestation/hospital ...run run run right up to the other player..hey man sup..pew! pew! pew!..WHY YOU SHOOOT ME BRAH ! I HAD NOTHING ! After several times of being shot in similar circumstances instead of changing their gameplay they turn to kos ( if you can't beat 'em join 'em) and then blame other players as their reasoning. To me that is a shit argument :) I have managed over a year with well under a hundred kills (excluding mega military island Namalsk) maybe i am just a weirdo being too patient and sizing up situations. Running around in hotspots like a whackjob i expect to be shot repeatedly though and blame nobody but myself for being a tool. The other cited reason is boredom (lack of imagination and patience syndrome) and of course the common bandit who then is well within their right to kos as their playstyle.

One hopes so.

How to make friends and influence people.

rolls off building.

No beanz ? no coke ? y u have empty slots in backpack ? I got so much svd ammo that i use it to kill the zeds, sometimes i just shoot at the birds or the Skalka rocks.
