Haplo (DayZ)

Failed that one didn't you rec0n_uk. Tell me more about the other trends you follow.

Quite a simple addition and it would fix load issues to a small extent. It's not going to speed up the process but it will ensure everything is laoded and ready to go. I've had friends spawn in next to me, a standing character visible for quite some time before they are in game. Perhaps the motive for your attack is the Brony profile pic but. who's the one with the problem here, Reptile?

Makes sense, probably simple to code. I see no sense in not implementing this, but perhaps it should have an idle timer before a forced spawn or a kick.. Thoughts?

This quote was in regards to the rampant hackers threads popping up. Perhaps a subforum could have all the spammed subjects pinned to it? Then the warning system could be used for people that don't wish to read, or then use the search function. Do you get 5 warnings? Do they degrade with time? So hard to find a decent conversation here.... You would get one strike for posting about a spammed subject. Edit: Perhaps no strike is given if it is a new thread in the "Spammed Subjects" subforum, to keep the whingers happy.

Can we please have these? http://nerdapproved.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/silly-string-rifle.jpg?cb5e28 They obviously exist, so why would they not be in DayZ!?

NEEDS to. they should impair vision if aimed at the eyes

bumping this. needs to happen

PvP is really all this game has.. As you suggest, the "endgame" is very lacking, and getting the highest tier loot isn't hard once you know the fundamentals of the game. I haven't gotten much positive feedback on this suggestion I made, but I think the basic idea is pretty cool, and it would help add to long term objectives. It may not be the perfect answer but the game needs lots of somethings like this. I'm drunk and I can't be bothered summarizing so I'm just gonna quote myself.. The original thread can be found here if anyone wants to help bump it along.. Or flame it, I'll take you http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/38928-community-minigames/

i thought my story (4 up) was pretty legit :(

i think the game already does this? not too sure, but i know i still have the heartbeat of a madman even after death

i made a suggestion of my own to encourage PvP in a simple, non-intrusive way. it doesn't change the mechanics of the game too much, but makes it easier for fresh spawns (survivors and bandits alike) to group up before taking on the world. my suggestion also gives "hardcore" survivors the option to hunt bandits. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46485-how-to-encourage-pvp-in-a-healthy-way/

at this stage? didn't the OP state that this should be implemented when "the standalone game is released"? of course, the bugs would have been killed and the map close tested at that point

Chernarus doesn't work for DayZ.. It was never intended to accommodate a loot system, which is just the beginning of it's flaws when it comes to a game like DayZ. Map making is actually relatively easy for someone who knows how. I went to like 4 of my 3D modelling classes and even I could make a shitty map. Edit: Forgot to mention; Rocket has stated that if this goes standalone, it will have it's own map, but if not it's still something he will try and consider. Once the coding is finished, it would take little more than an hour to port into a new map. Dave, I made my own suggestion on how I think the map could be structured. I think it should be an island, making it harder to find north (at least for the first few hours). I'd like to see a big city (3 times the size of Chern and Elektro put together) in the middle, that is absolutely crawling with zombies, to the point where moving through it without silenced/melee weapons is certain death. At the middle is the most rewarding military base, but power tools are required to get in. The noise would aggro zombies and alert players, increasing the tension, the adrenaline, and the sense of reward. if you wanna check the full thread you can see it here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46485-how-to-encourage-pvp-in-a-healthy-way/ ps. why does everyone on this forum try and shut down legitimate suggestions? this is a very reasonable idea which makes perfect sense. you're not funny or badass.. you're just a cunt, and if you spoke to me like that at the pub i would end up getting kicked out.. but you would be broken.

why do these threads get so many hits whilst good suggestions get ignored?

3-4? i'll give you as many mags as you give me. teamspeak or ventrilo are way better than skype hey..

i was metagaming 2 guys via teamspeak, stalking them for about an hour. they split up and i waited in the middle, for when they regrouped. i almost killed the first guy as he was running through the forest (the prick DCed), then i dropped the second as he came over the hill to look for me. i acted like i had just returned to my computer: me: "hey guys, just heard the tail end of that, got dropped, eh?" 2nd: "yeah i got hit hard" me: "did you try DCing?" 2nd: "nah, i got hit in the-" 1st: "yeah, i did, i did. got away too.." me: "yeah nice man. keen to group up at all? i'm just near *wherever it was, +1km*" 2nd: "nah i'm over it" 1st: "uh, yeah alright, i'm pretty close by" we met up, and the guy states he's hungry, so we go looking for a pig around green mountain-ish. i was holding an m16a2, and planned on pulling out my DMR and pinning him when he was gutting the pig or something. i hesitated multiple times. i felt really bad about this. yeah, he DCed on me and i was pissed off, but i had actually met up with and been talking to this guy. we stumbled across a deer stand, and he starts scoping it out with binocs. this was it, i'd hesitated too many times. "i'm just gonna take point in those connifers" i stated, which i did, but then doubled back around the top of the hill. he was in the open, standing still with his binocs out. i was holding the DMR, with a strong sense of pre guilt welling up inside me. still he should have already died so BANG. me: "dude, i just heard a DMR *over there*.. there he is!! taking shots!!" 1st: "i'm dead..." me: "what? oh.. well, i got the guy with the DMR.." i did feel pretty bad about this. he said earlier he'd been alive for 17 days, but he didn't have the rangefinders i needed.. so i hid the corpse, destroying an AS50, M4A1 CCO SD, NVGs and the like in the process Edit: i got this whole sequence on fraps. from stalking him, to the first time he DCed and i killing his mate, then up to the final blow. will youtube it when i can be bothered :)

I can't remember dude, I didn't even need to use my GPS. They were easy to find. What you gonna do?

it was me now what?

gets so frustrating hey.. i don't care for the loot, i would like the kills to count though. a few nights ago a mate and i should have killed 5 diferent people in the space of 2 minutes, but every single one of them logged. it was kinda funny though really.. 15 minutes and a few more almost kills/kills later, we were on a mad buzz, got flanked, and died like men

as50 and a few m107 rounds?

Why would I need or want lights? In real life I would probably use a candle or something anyway; they're easy to make, don't need a generator, and won't give your away your position as badly. I know Rocket wants to implement underground base building, but it needs to be something more than a hole with lights in it. In real life I'd even be looting kitchen and bathroom appliances amongst all the various other things.. To survive means to continue living, which for me includes making myself comfortable. I honestly think an apocalypse would make my life better in that respect. I will have all the loots.

Seems legit. Is that how you introduce yourself to people at the pub, Teiwaz? Grow up bro. Let me rephrase that for you nicely OP: Considering the current restrictions DayZ faces this may not be possible. However, it is a great suggestion for if and when DayZ becomes a standalone game. I however can't multi-task that well and will have to disable this feature. Personally, I would have looked at that problem and stated; how about a head torch? Follows where you look as well as freeing up the hands.

i don't see any reason for this not to be implemented. making gillie isn't hard,

without doubt the loot system needs remodeling but i don't think this is the right approach. admins could abuse this, they already 'cheat' in a number of different ways

this would really take away from the immersion. once you know about this cue, you will constantly be looking for it. you should just be constantly looking for players. i don't see the point in explaining with this thread sucks, but if you can judge with 100% accuracy when someone is watching you IRL, you should be able to do it in game too, without some dumb mechanic telling you. i might agree to this if it only worked 1/100 times people looked at you
