Are all soldiers mentally ill? Is every gang related murderer mentally ill? I hate this retarded relation with murder and mental illness, and now crime with mental illness. Just because the courts let a dozen murders off because of mental illness doesn't mean they acutally have it. Morality is objective, its morally wrong to kill someone. It is morally wrong to steal from someone. it is morally wrong to fuck your mother. There are people who do these things everyday. Some of them have mental illnesses. The thing is, mental illness can cause someone to lose there morals. You seem to believe this the other way around; you believe that KILLING causes mental problems, espically in a hallucinary and auditory way. Every murder related to mental illness has the mental illness before the murder. However, victims of crime and those who have witnessed murder of loved ones, they're the ones who are scared by murder. If you're going to go about claiming murder causes mental issues as SEVERE as hallicinations, which is some SERIOUS shit, by the way, at least state some damn facts. Also, inb4 shell shocked Edit: OH, and don't forget that people soundly and calmly plan murders every fucking day soldiers are trained to kill, and yes many suffer from PTSD and other mental issues after returing from heavy combat. Not always because of taking the life of someone, but it's a main cause. Including watching their friends die, which would be happening as well in a zombie apoc. Gangs are another thing, I grew up in Detroit, I've seen plenty of gang violence. They grow up being taught by their elders that its ok to kill someone if "blah blah". Thus, they never had the morals instilled in them in the first place. Also, You're talking about minorities, I'm talking about majorities. If your everyday, average joe is forced to kill someone, it's going to cause some serious problems. Yes, hallucinations are uncommon, and probably wouldn't happen, but it'd be a nice addition to the game. Throw in a zombie apocalypse and there will be some serious mental breaks, most will probably opt for the easy way out and commit suicide. Mental illness helps cause murders, yes. It can also be caused by being forced to kill someone. It goes both ways. Hey guys I just killed someone out of survival I totally have auditory hallucinations which have nothing to do with killing someone instead of depression or anxiety or paranoia oh god its like medical degrees/high school biochemistry class don't matter and this is just a cheap shot at bandits because I died THIS JUST IN HALLUCINATIONS ARE GENERALLY CHEMICALLY RELATED FROM A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION AND MOST MENTAL ILLNESSES RELATED TO HALLUCINATIONS YOU ARE BORN WITH UNCOMMON IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

The obvious solution to the problem of if a server goes offline, is to allow for 2 or 3 switches of servers in that 30 minute period.

iono, this just seems like a way to short range identify bandits after you play on a server long enough Guess its not that bad though, maybe a little less range

I think I just invented a new drinking game Take a shot every time you see a hallicination and/or phyco thread that involves hurting low humanity players

Better solution? Initiate a XX minute ban after Y changes in servers within a peroid of Z minutes. If thats too fancy, ban some faggot for 20 minutes for changing servers 3 times in 5 minutes.

But I spent so long flooding that one fire station completely with wire fences! IT WAS A WORK OF ART! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Oh look this thread again Im going out on a limb here saying this, but murder is a MORAL dilema, not a phycological one. Without society to hunt you down and investigate a murder, alot of more criminal types would totally murder you for a can of beans. Pretty much, go back to school, and pretend no one gets in trouble for beating you to death.

Just so we're clear, they removed guns, beans, and water to drastically axe the team matches going on at the shore. And it has done pretty damn good at it, you sometimes find someone else unarmed and bond in a non-sexual manner. Or sexual, if you're into strangers in polygon outfits.

But I don't want to play with retarded strangers I say just nerf miltiary weapons and overall ammo drops

-shrug- I play on night servers all the time with a flashlight and flares. Safer from bandits at the cost of navigation and vision. Its your choice.

Keep it simple stupid. All this suggestion does is make getting back into the game after you goto bed harder, and keeps servers crowded. The obvious solution is the same as the current PVP mechanic. Just force players to sit unconcious for a while after disconnecting and reconnecting to another server.

Looking for tips on hunting survivors. Whats an easy weapon to get for good hunting? Good spots, good locations? What type of gear would you suggest? Where can you find it? How many licks does it take to get the center of a toosie pop? Also, to be clear, Im not interest in where the best prey with loot is, I just want to kill people. And, yes, I realize some people get pissy about that.

Oh man that picture my sides

This sounds like it'd introduce a new teabag mechanic. RAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPE Edit: On a more serious note, this is just stupid. Theres always, you know, just saying your husband and wife. If your having kids in the middle of a zombie Apocalypse, you're a burden to the human race

I was low on blood, had matches, and some meat. I met some guy in the woods and he was holding an axe. I said freindly, he came into view, I blew him to bits with my shotgun, took his hatchet, and made a campfire

I don't buy the don't own guys part, as in rural areas guns are very common. However, removing the Makarov was still a good idea, and I think it should stay, as, for once, I met another survivor who was unarmed and we made a freindship. It was amazing. As for food? spawning with no food is your friend. Bullets aren't free, and if you can't at least provide a garuenteed bean drop, the bandit spam at the coast will drop. As for the "Douchebags" who just kill for fun, well, you can't change them. Its also not like you can't hit any of the smaller inland towns as you go.

having read this forum over serveral times, it all leads to "Punish bandits" "I want natural night Vision" and, what this post is ment to adress "more zombies/exciting things!" However, these posts seem to forget the games hard basis in trying to be as realistic as possible. So the obvious solution is to make realistic offers of possible events. Where is the outside world? What if a small squad of trained and armed soldiers were sent once on a rare occasion to Cherno to clean up zeds? Oh, but don't forget, YOU'RE infected too, as far as the goverment is concerned! If you can fight there group maybe you can recover there weapons and gear; a barracks of loot that fights back! You hear over your radio. A napalm strike is incomming Elektro. In the distance you hear planes flying in, do you run? Do you hide? Will it have a lasting effect? What is one of the pilots becomes a zed and crashes, would you be able to recover any supplies that weren't destroyed? Obviously this would be cleaned up after a few hours. Maybe Zombies begin ot congregate on Cherno when players overcrowd it; forcing players to stay inside cherno as the centration of zombies around it grow, slowly moving inward. Leaving this town after the event starts and is broadcasted would cost you a disconnect penalty of some sort. Or maybe there'd just be a huge zed spawn every rare occasion, in the more populated towns. That's the basis of my suggestion, I'd love to hear your thoughts. these sorts of things would be rare, but add spice to the game in a realistic manner and in a smaller sense sort of make everyone feel a similar hardship together, maybe even form temporary alliances to fight there way out of Cherno. I guess its like the bells and fire in Dark Souls, you can hear and see other people sharing your hardships, and sometimes that brings you closer to your fellow survivor.

>his seems to be a 'pro' strat when you reach this level of dayz PvP. >'pro' strat when you reach this level of dayz PvP. >this level of dayz PvP. What in the seven flavors of fuck am I reading, your talking about this game like its team fucking deathmatch, go play a game that is made for that Mario is for Jumping, Day Z is for surviving, Theres a bazillion games for shooting and team deathmatch, alot of them even fun. While your point is valid and a problem, I needed to inform you that this games purpose is to survive.

On a further note(and to shamelessly self bump) There could be event-Arcs, where certain events happen only durring the course of an arc which may last a week or a few days; miltiary actions, supply drops, random dead survivors from peace corp actions, etc; Basically, events coupled together.

I've noticed that lately, not quite sure why anyone would do that, seems like theres no reason. Maybe to keep the server empty maybe except for those who acutally know what version is running? Maybe its in the process of updating? Can any server owners please clarify what is going on?
