Zeromentor

Should be that one player gets 1 tent and 1 vehicle. Which only stay for 72 hours and 48 hours respectively. Clans keep their stashes if they can keep everyone online, and single people keep what they need for storage. This, 'tent city for the solo man', is kind of crazy.

In most games, death means you pop back up at a checkpoint, autosave or save point before you died, or respawn at the beginning of some dungeon, battlefield or whatever. Nothing lost but time, maybe some money and experience at the most. In other games, you lose what you took with you. Or a small amount of it. In DayZ, you lose EVERYTHING. Kills, gear, skins, everything. The only things you keep are what you left in tents and those have a huge chance of being stolen from. You want death to mean more in this game? Then next time you die, stop playing. Because a timer before you can come back (20 minutes, seriously?) would ruin it for many people. Some people barely play 3 hours before they have to leave for one real life event or another, and if you think about it most people die 5 times before they aquire the gear needed to survive. Or they go north, and risk putting in even MORE time for even LESS reward. So you spawn, die to a pack of zombies. 5 minutes alive. 20 minutes waiting. Respawn and die to a sniper, less than a minute up, 20 down. Up again and you move into a town, grab an axe and head out, only to die to a guy with a shotgun, cool, 10 minutes up and another 20 down. Hour spent dead, for only ~15 minutes of play. Most people would stop playing the mod after the first death, maybe even the second. In a sense, you are asking to play alone, because over 600 servers would have far fewer players still playing after the first week. You'd be alone with the extremely hardcore players, who would probably get bored and camp your spawn, to grief you day in and day out. Just for this suggestion, I know I would.

Yeah, I was killed because a friendly couldn't read maps, nor tell basic directions (left from right) told me he was somewhere he wasn't, and when I looked I seen a person, thought it was him. Open my map to help guide me, and the player I seen blasted me. Sure, a customized character (more than face and skin color) might have helped, but so would knowing BASIC FREAKING DIRECTIONS! But yeah, I don't think the engine allows for a change of height, and skins are fairly limited for now, so that doesn't look like it will be changed any time soon.

I would have told him to use Respawn because it is too hard to use Google. But yeah, East to safety.

My bad, you should be locked out of the game once you've died. You are dead, you can't play again. Good right? /endsarcasm

BUMP.

"[...] and walk through walls." He's right, these aren't infected, or undead... They are interdimensional crazyfolk.

Well look at it this way, you aren't getting a full meal each time you eat. And if you stood around instead of running around the map, you wouldn't have to eat so much. So really, you need to slow it down some. I eat like 2 cooked meat in a few hours, so this "every 30 minutes" tells me you are eating too soon and running too much.

Aratar has a point, plus you have the problem of having someone defend themself, but the rest of the server sees: Zeromentor Killed Johny123 Now I look like a bandit, when I just killed a sniper that couldn't aim. I'm guessing that isn't what you are aiming for?

You feel like nothing when you spawn, and even a single zombie is hell on your heels when you have no way to get rid of them. A team of players without guns has more fun than a single person, I admit, but in the end it was for the best. If they do bring back a makarov for a spawner, then no more than 1 magazine should do. That's enough for 2 zombies, give or take aim, skill, and other random factors. And if a player jumps you for the extra mag, you'll probably blow it all in his direction, making his attack pointless, leaving him with less than he started. But that's just my point of view. You get used to the flashlight.

"People have different tastes and play the game for different reasons" You are asking for our reasons of play to be toned to YOUR level, taking what WE want or like and changing it to fit how YOU want it. Of course we will come off as defensive. How would you like it if you bought a house, but I wanted you to tear it down? Or you bought a red car, but the color red hurts my eyes, so I want you to paint it blue? Sounds unreasonable when you have another 200 (random number) people demanding similar things (green car, pink car, orange car, NO CAR BECAUSE IT POLLUTES ENVIRONMENT!). Player-to-Player experience is more than half the game, and taking it out, or toning it down, ruins the game. Like building a castle without walls, or with a picket fence instead. You have a different taste? Then find a different game.

Awesome. One word, can't find a better one. Awesome, as in full of awe or as in awe inspiring.

Murder works as intended, the target is DEAD and you wanted them dead. Pretty simple. Also, canned food lasts a freaking LONG time. And it's not like we've been living underground for 200 years. Also, cooked meat lasts a lot longer than many people seem to think. I'm not talking about salted, which lasts even longer. And imagine this, that morphine doesn't magically fix your leg, you set it, which is extremely painful, and you couldn't even MOVE that leg without that kind of strong pain reliever. Next time you break a leg or arm, try grabbing it and wiggling it around. If you don't want to be shot, jump to a low population server. If you want 'fun' PvP, then go shoot at people. Get a group, attack a clan, it's all up to YOU. And last, I agree that food shouldn't magically give you more blood. Make it HARDER! Unless you have full hunger, you don't gain blood from eating food, and instead of it all being at once it is over time (and non-stacking!).

Nah, they'd spawn as rabbits, cows or boars. Probably pretty funny if they did. I could see it now... "Hey, how did you die?" "Sniper cow..."

I've encountered dozens that haven't tried to kill me, which is funny cause most of those times I had just gotten done killing someone else. And I don't even know how many times someone seen me and left me alone, because I didn't see them. Either play with friends, find friends, or play alone. Or don't play. Pretty simple.

Maybe your shift key is stuck. Change the toggle button to something else and try it like that.

Yeah, even if that guys does log into another server, he'll instantly fall down and bleed out in a heartbeat. Even better, knowing he tried to save his stuff for NOTHING. What a coward, died to a makarov and can't even hold on to whatever dignity he had left.

Yes please, add a map that is much larger, fix it up for DayZ, make sure there are different kinds of locations (Cities, Mountains, Plains, Valleys, etc) and then add MORE. Just more. More military bases, more towns, more random buildings in the woods, more everything. Scatter them all over, strategically of course, and let the players have at it.

Bounties? No. Could work if money had a place in this game, and you can't magically gift people food, water or ammo. So nope.

"I want to be able to grief people without them shooting me" That's all I read from the OP. If this happens, I would gather everyone I know together, assign them to random people, and loot anything they ran across, block doorways, steal vehicles, hide bodies and attract zombies to them. Dumb idea and defeats the purposes of the game, A SANDBOX SURVIVAL MOD with zombies.

Nah, just make it where the barbed wire can hurt people, but they can slowly pass through it. Bear traps are already dangerous because your character might place it too close and SNAP, there goes your leg. Tank traps? I haven't had an issue with them like I have barbed wire.

1. Stop calling bandits, "COD-Kiddies", CS or otherwise. I played Call of Duty from 1 to MW3, and every one of them in between (I like COD1, 2 and 4 the most) and I don't run around like an idiot in a firefight, or try to knife everyone I see. It's an insult where there isn't one. It would be like calling me white. Guess what, I'm white. So? 2. Grab a large backpack, fill it with heavy objects. Grab BDU pants, fill it with lead and metal. Grab a tactical vest and do the same. Add boots, a gun (12 gauge shotgun, or heavy airsoft gun should work, make sure it is unloaded) and a belt, holster and even strap a small hatchet to your belt for the hell of it. Now find a boat in someone's yard and jump from it with all this gear. Make sure you have a cell phone handy because you probably just broke or bent something that shouldn't move like that.

Eating other players? No. Environmental factors affecting temperature? Yes. Clothing? Add more please, don't add conditions for it. Molotovs? Yes. Stamina? Maybe, no. As it is, people would disconnect more. Also, you spawn without a weapon and zombies are kind of random in detecting you, so stamina would suck if you couldn't run away. They really should make zombies no despawn when you disconnect, and instead should spawn in with you. I'm not sure but weight is already partially ingame, but adding a slowdown based on everything you carry would just make a long journey even longer. Seriously, crouch run from one side of the map to the other and time it, that's pretty much what you'd be asking for with more weight.

Excellent textures. Very well done.

Wait 10-20 minutes to respawn after death? To what? Live another 5 running from zombies and getting popped by a sniper in cherno, to wait another 20? I don't curse much on forums, but fuck that.
