    Suggestion: Cast (Broken Bone Fix)

    It makes sense, I'll give you that. But it is far too common occurring for our brittle-bone syndrome survivors to break our legs, while bandages are abundant the breaking of legs is very often accompanied by bleeding. Most people don't carry 5 bandages on them, they carry pistol ammo, which is extremely valuable for killing zombies with. Even if they do have more than 5 you'd now be very short on bandage supply. I'll give you beans because twas clever and original with a viable way of implementation.

    Anesthetics and tranquilizers

    I think this would be very entertaining to have. To have a dart gun to snipe people with. Watching them go unconscious a couple seconds later would be so fun. You go over to them loot them like a normal body and then they wake up and they're on their way, pissed off. It would also be a great way to avoid banditry or the heartbeat noise. The only issue is that getting tranquilized and being looted would be the same as dying, well maybe not actually, because you would have weapons you already want and you just take the essentials. A less bandit...y way of doing things. I like, give beans.
  3. I think the abundance of guns in DayZ makes the game much much more entertaining. Besides melee weapons are kind of bad, the crosshairs don't match the lof. While I don't agree with a lot of the guns he listed I do agree with one thing OP has said, more variety of guns. Also an increase of civilian weaponry is nice, people should realize a lot of civilians own m4's, akm's, mp5, snipers, and other military weaponry. The civilian weaponry you guys want you are gonna find at a pawn shop or walmart. Besides its fuckin russia they're crazy over there. They'll more likely have rpg's than a pistol. What I want to see is more military weaponry at bunkers and helicoptter crashes, deer stands, etc..

    DayZ Workshop?

    Well it wouldn't be a problem of MP being locked as it would still be a part of the DayZ mod. I'm not necessarily talking about mods here, I'm talking about content in general to be added onto the mod.

    Base Defenses ( Document included )

    Ok, first off you didnt read my post well enough or you at least didn't understand what I wrote. Yes I understand that vehicles are often near large camps, but that is a risk that must be thought of and can be avoided, such as moving your vehicle not near your camp. The only thing locks would do is reduce your chance of you crap being stolen temporarily. Vehicles are rare, so it will much rarer for a single tent to be demolished/looted. Also, you should make large camps in general in this game. They should be spread out in a certain vicinity from the a each tent to avoid detection. I can't tell you how many times I've raided tents because they were large groups or vehicles with them, they were very easy to spot.

    Logging out in shock should kill you

    Also no, that is bad. There is no way that would work. You guys need to wake up, this will never happen and if it does it will be terrible. As to aversionfx your reply to my reasons is ridiculous, grow up kid. Shooting your gun and logging out isn't a bad thing. What if you kill a zombie that was chasing you then log out afterwards because you are done? What of you just shoot a bullet for no reason? AS a developer you can't just add these things without thinking of the consequences. There are far too many possible consequences for this to happen, it won't work. The only way your original suggestion is work is you have been shot and log out within, say, 10 seconds and the player shooting you is not dead.

    give us back pistols please

    It's not that hard to start w/o a pistol. Just run and dont stop running until you find a gun. If you get killed or shot in the process no harm done, not like you had anything.

    New Zombies Please?!

    Yeah, I am aware, but that is my suggestion I suppose to add further down the road. Maybe some fans could sumbit some custom meshes + textures for static decoration. They could implement them later on down the road.

    Logging out in shock should kill you

    What? You are aware that shock occurs all the time and not to mention how buggy it is. You have spoken like a true ignorant person as I have listed 4 very good reasons that have nothing to do with exploiting. Fine I'll give you more reasons why it isn't a good idea. 6. It makes no fuckin' sense. There is no way you can successfully add that and keep any immersion. 7. There are alternatives to this rather than dying. 8. If you've been shot, are bleeding out, engage in combat THEN you should maybe be punished. 9. Shock has nothing to do with death. Do you even know what shock is? 10. I'm done giving reasons, I don't need to, I've proven my point. You should really try to make a logical response that actually correlates with the quote in which you are attacking. Save your retort, it won't make sense nor do I really care, if you want a rational discussion so be it. BTW don't double post.

    New Zombies Please?!

    While I don't agree with different kinds of zombies like l4d zeds, I do like the idea of variety for the sake of immersion and authenticity. What the hell does the crawler crawl when he has no visible wounds? How many mythbusters have been zombified? This is suppose to be an infected/zombie apocalypse rated M for mutilation for gods sake. Where is the blood? Where is the gore? I dont care if its static gore, it help with immersion. I want to see blood stains all over the street, splashes of blood and bloody handprints all over windows and buildings, why is every body pit full of unwounded dead people? They were just eaten alive or shot, they should have missing legs and chunks strewn about and intestines falling out! I want some authenticity.

    Base Defenses ( Document included )

    I suggest keys/locks. You aren't thinking outside the box. Why the hell would a tent have a lock anyways? The lock would be on some sort of safe; a big ass safe or something similar and lockable and box-like, another reason i suggest a lock is that they can only destroy your tents with explosives and vehicles which are rarer than players stumbling across your shit. So I'm down with locks.

    Logging out in shock should kill you

    No. Absolutely no. I'm going to list several reasons as to why the correct answer to your suggestion is no. 1. You can get it from falling a couple of feet off some stairs. 2. Shock occurs from any impact as well as bullet impact. 3. Killing someone because they log out from a combat situation does not necessarily mean it was purposeful nor does it mean they logged out from such a situation on purpose. 4. In order to properly dictate what a combat situation would be would require programming that doesn't exist, something that has to make moral distinctions. Such as was this person actually being shot at or was it a stray bullet? Was said bullet aimed to a zombie? Was it a purposeful shot at your friend? Was this person in the process of logging out while at the same time being unknowingly shot at? etc.. 5. That would suck dick. No disrespect but I don't very much agree with you.

    Underground Bunkers

    Well you pretty much listed the reason why I wanted it that way. But among that the priority would be performance. Something big like this would be taxing on performance. It would also have to be instanced too. You don't want a thousand bunker entrances to slow down your server, you want just a few, plus the single one per person helps encourage staying on one server and not server hopping and the it would also encourage cooperation in my opinion. You want a nice bunker? Get some friends make it go faster.

    Tent's Inventory?

    I know that in 1.7.1.5 tents had a good chance of eating your items as it has happened to me with every single tent I've put down in 1.7.1.5. But I was wondering if this was fixed or if Rocket was at least planning to fix it relatively soon. I haven't heard much on tent issues so it would be great if someone could fill me in. Also if there is a workaround that would be great to know too. Thanks

    Tent's Inventory?

    Honestly, any info at all would be great. For example, if any of you knew if 1.7.2 fixed tents eating your items.

    Banned for picking up M24

    Well I've been kicked before from servers for "scripts" which I have none of. I wouldn't know where to get them, nor would I know how to use em. BattleEye does have false positives or at least server clients do.

    Base in the forest.

    No you are absolutely wrong. The only thing those do is give away your tents. Thank you to all those people smart enough to make there tent a beacon in the dark. I got an AS50, some cokes; needed some I was blinking!, ammo, a fal, and a bunch of tools! All from tents with these "outposts". Don't be silly they've never been useful they never will be useful until rocket comes up with a legitimate way to store your cache long-term. I understand the whole "lose everything in a second" attitude; but then that eliminates the entire point of cooperation, end-game guns(such as the ones I took), any sort of long term play is pointless. No one stays at their tent all day to defend it, if they do, I pity how boring your life is. What we need, is GUARD DOGS, Rocket has mentioned implementing dogs into the game; how about guard dogs that patrol your tent or outpost area as mentioned by OP. Not shitty guard dogs that die from a couple of shots but a couple of them a small pack, that presents an actual threat to any would be attacker, they should be smart enough to avoid any traps you set yourself too.

    Dear Rocket..

    1) Your post is not "funny" 2) The only retard in here is the one i quoted 3) wait for a minute for you to catch up 4) Yes i ment you with 2 5) Have a nice day That was almost a burn you are on the right track try again little buddy but for now lets hear the rage im loving it!! Replying to a comment insulting you. It seems to be working. P.S. no one says burn anymore. P.P.S. Both of you are being immature.

    Dear Rocket..

    Dear people in this thread, Being clever and using the same format as op as a method of telling him your opinion is cool. Congratulations, you tried to be insulting and original. You weren't Signed, The person that doesn't care about your opinion atm.
  20. I found myself amused at this comment. I approve. :cool:
  21. Honestly' date=' who the hell says carebears? It doesn't even make sense, it's not even insulting. This is the result of kids trying to be creative but failing at it. Please, never use that word again. Your comment is very... ridiculous; since I am not allowed to insult you directly that word shall suffice. "...people getting an advantage [over them(not above; that doesn't make sense)']" is the definition of cheating. That's the equivalent of taking steroids for professional sports, it's illegal. OP is right, if it is connected to the hive that admin was in clear violation of Rocket's rules. NOT YOUR RULES, cuz honestly your rules would be stupid and ridiculous. He should be warned at least. It's the exact same reason hacks aren't allowed, it gives people a ridiculous advantage that is undeserved. Sorry kid you are wrong.
  22. Multiple inanimate objects have killed me. One includes a door frame that I was trying to get through on the NW Airfield while prone but instead of going through the door I instead prone walk in place because crawling doesn't let you through a lot of doors. I know from experience that if you wiggle your character around you can get through this stupid bug. But this time I walk through the wall somehow and it instakills me. Dead. Two I was driving a car back to camp and I get it there no probs. I park next to an evergreen to keep it relatively hidden I exit the car look at it and try to save it. I am forced to run all around the car just to find the save prompt like every time I try saving anything. I finally get the prompt and click but I instead enter the car. I get out but instead of getting out on the proper side I get out directly in between the car and the tree. I'm pinned. So I try running in all directions to out from in between it and I succeed only to realize that a branch knocks me out, breaks my legs, puts me in shock, and bleeds me all at once. Thanks DayZ there goes my car I drove across the country with. No saving for me. Three. Deadly doors. Stand to close to the doors path and whack- dead. Please make it so no ever inanimate object is a dead zone. Instead of compensation for poor clipping, just improve the clipping. :@
  23. Honestly, I rarely waste my ammo on zombies. They aren't worth it and theyre far too hard to hit. For me it isn't just one request, it's many. I honestly wish he'd stop adding features and just balance out what he currently has. THIS IS MY REQUEST - PLEASE FIX: The lack of cooperation. The ridiculous speed of zombies. Zombie pathing. Zombie animations. Better storage. Removal of item eating bugs. Removal of ridiculous ways to die(i.e. inanimate objects that break every bone in your body, falling from above the trees). Eating of ammo, hunger that resets upon d/c and r/c. Wire fencing artifacting. Wire fencing. Swimming makes you lose your items. Balance the rarity of items. Balance the bandit(less needed)/survivor(more needed) population. Incentive for teamwork. Tents eating items. Tents disappearing. EDIT: Also doesn't feel like an apocalypse. In the least bit. Work on the mood, ambiance, effects - a lot

    Islands

    As far as I know, no. The Arma 3 map is not an expanded Chernarus. It's an entirely different map that is much, much more expansive than the Arma 2 map. So the scale of it all will increase dramatically.

    New, Better Storage - Easy Possibilities

    I knew he was thinking about it. But as far as I know he hasn't made any mention of it since. It would be great for underground caches. Rocket, sate me!
