I think it would be great if the game forced you to wait 2 minutes or less until you can respawn, if you go unconscious. This would prevent people from rage respawning more often, and maybe improve realism. In real life if i'm unconscious i can't just fucking end my life. I'm not saying get rid of respawn while unconscious, but at least put a delay before you can. What do you think?

Are vests required for maximized bullet protection?
Luftpancake replied to jayfkay (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Press vests protect against rifle rounds, the plate carrier how ever, does not. The plate carrier can take only pistol shots, making it pretty much useless for the common survivor, you have more of a chance of getting hit with a rifle or shotgun than with a pistol. Have a press vest + riders jacket both pristine, and you'll be one hard motherfucker to kill. Tip: Always put pots and pans, protector cases in your vest if you want it to protect against a bit more. -
Oh yeah, I've seen this one before. Pretty good.

While i do see your point, I hate that players can just automatically respawn. For example, a freshie trys to punch me out and i knock him out, I don't want to kill him but he fucking respawns anyway. It just ruins the immersion for me. Hell i've even done that to more geared guys and even if i tell them not to respawn, they do anyway.

It's the only audio i could find, in real life it sounds like a gurgling.

I think this one could work -

Hello, I think that it would be great if the new American ACH helmet spawned at American helicopter crash sites. It's like a ballistic helmet, but better in protection. It can take a SKS shot, or several. It would be rare at american crash sites, since not all soldiers wear these. Here's a video demonstrating it - http://www.geek.com/news/advanced-combat-helmet-stops-an-ak-47-head-shot-1536798/ While you can argue that this is pointless, Day-z is a simulator. This would be realistic to American crash sites since U.S troops are now wearing these. I think this would make the game more immersive.

Fella's that's a bit off topic.

Way too OP? What in the hell are you talking about, boy? The only goddamn thing that protects you from bullets in this game is a gorka helmet and a ballastic helmet and a press vest. THE PRESS VEST ISN'T EVEN MILITARY FOR FUCK SAKES. If you ask me it's under powered! Besides alpha is for adding things, beta is for fixing things. The devs have clearly stated that several times.

Cough simulator cough cough
-
I know, like i said i thought that the stats need to be switched. But what the fuck? It doesn't even protect against 22.? Christ, why don't they just put the press vest script inside of the plate carrier? Is it too much to bother?

Oh hello there, I think that we should be able to spray paint fire fighter helmets in the standalone. In-game a fire fighter helmet can take a 357. round before becoming badly damaged and knocking you unconscious for a second or two. I always pick this helmet over any other civilian helmet because of that. The thing is, well, excuse my language, but that bitch is bright as a motherfucker! You can see it from a mile away! So i think that it would be awesome if we could spray paint it green, black, maybe even to a camo pattern like how you can with the Mosin. I can already predict some of you going to say "No, It's a trade off" well personally that's bull. Could you paint a firefighter helmet in real life? YES. Is day-z standalone the most realistic game out there at the moment? YES. The game is a damn simulator. I don't see any harm in adding this. Spray paint is pretty rare in 0.58 anyway. Please state your opinion, don't hold back. But don't be a douche.

I hunt bandits In day-z. Usually hang around the cities of the coast making sure everything is in line. I also like to hold bandits or first time offenders in the police station jail cells. :)
-
Woah Woah Woah, slow down there. This is probably a no until we get out of alpha. There is currently a bug where you can't pick up stuff without the vicinity menu sometimes. Until they fix this bug, this is a defo no. Also sometimes loot spawns in the ground making it impossible to pick it up. That needs to be fixed too. Once they fix this, yes i would like to see this in the game.
-
Give up on it man, just get a gaming computer. Day-z on console won't have half the stuff anyway.
-
Wowowo man. Hold on there, cash is a pretty cool dude.
-
I agree good sir. I think murdering him in-game will be a pleasure.

Hello survivors of the standalone, I think death could have a new effect. Something along the lines of a bright light rushing across the screen moments before "You are dead". Note that this post is edited because one of the ideas on originally had i ended up deciding was dumb, thank you to Sacha for noting me of my mistake.
-
I know. As is surviving i kind of meant surviving for maybe an extra 2 minutes and then dying due to shock or brain malfunction.
-
Oh, I see. I miss read this. Yee, this wouldn't fit in.
-
I made a topic on that before. People raped the idea of it so i kind of gave up on it being in the game.
-
Guys guys guys, calm your shit, jesus christ! This guy has a decent idea, I think this would be great for alpha. Since the game is buggy and there are moments that you don't wake up even if a person gives you saline, epipen, food water ect. due to a glitch. this could really help the devs out. Players can log how long they were unconscious for. Leading to bug fixing. Have my beans.

It was a grenade, there's no audio when a grenade lands. That's why you didn't hear it.

Also a press vest, a civilian grade kevlar vest protects against more than a ballistic vest. I think those stats need to be switched, like the press vest protects against pistol rounds and a plate carrier protects against every caliber once or twice, like the current press vest does.
