I think its that your coming off strange.Most people see each other and go their speerate ways.You are trying to convince them your friendly and if they have seen any of the bandit Youtube griefer videos they know where that ends.

Just lost my character of 3 hours to a broken leg.9000 blood and I aggro and head towards the hills.Dam zombie one shot hits me broken leg.This is just ridiculous and is how I lose most of my characters.You wanna add two infected damage possibilities with one more severe then other.....make it broken arm instead so at least the player is not crawling for next 3 hours if that. :( I posted before about bites but no one is biting.Could even make the harsher infected attack a vicious bite wound.Bandages for small cuts but bite wounds require stitches.Maybe add in infection if not treated in certain time.

I am all for it.Making player walk for 10 to 15 minutes in game is huge to immersion.Just try walking around in game and you will start admiring scenery etc.I also think things like a timed refill icon while filling at water spots,timed manual filling of mags from ammo boxes,timed cooking/boiling water etc add to immersion.

We all want a twist in the DayZ world to fix the reason that we are KOS for gaming reasons right?What about if Chenarus was at war before the apocalypse happened. The Earth is in the midst of an extinction of its primary species,humans.After the Mayan prophecy came true and the polar caps shifted,the Earth couldn't sustain enough food to feed its human populations.Reason is animals that migrated with the seasons using magnetic north have been migrating to the north pole instead.Massive extinctions are happening and its getting worse as the food chains crumble.Governments are dealing with it as best as they can but sadly some have resorted to type of controlled mass extinction.This New World Order(NWO),as they call themselves,are trying to mass murder huge areas of various places in the world that they feel are the least productive to its future growth.Expendable people is what they refer to these areas.Chenarus,was chosen as the first such area where the NWO has decided to test its mass murder machine.Its a small low population area with a few military bases to plan their attack and so they started,but something has gone terribly wrong.The NWO genetically engineered a virus that targets just humans with quick and painless death as their DNA basically melted but instead the humans mutated to primitive,low intelligence creatures hell bent on attacking living creatures they come across.Some people also seem immune to this chemical weapon. Ok,so gameplay.......have it so that you can play NWO or play survivor at a 1/3 server population in favor of survivors.NWO spawn at NWAF and survivors spawn at coast.NWO wear breathing apparatuses to protect them from breathing the DayZ virus that still lays low in the air. NWO is out to clear map by manually killing the infected as well as the virus immune.They move twon to town killing as they go along.The survivors are out to kill these murderers as best as they can. OR it can be something different like a normal war with military VS civilians.Either way,there could be map goals like complete eradication of the opposing force but with infected everywhere adding to the problem.Make it 1000 military must die and server ends session.Make it so that while the survivors have not fallen to the virus yet it doesn't mean they wont.NWO militia not only wear breathing apparatus but also carry the cure in a tiny blue pill etc.Or maybe someone can come up with better idea.Just putting this out there to see what people think................

But the NWO and the survivors are both real players.The AI is just infected and animals.;)

Yeah you will become a better player over time.At first I would run and run with little regard of surroundings.Now that I know how dangerous it is I am becoming a player who looks everywhere and plans ahead by watching the landscape I plan to move thru.Its like in real life or feels more real life to me now and I love it!!

the best advice is orientate yourself to travel away from coast and run for awhile passing any villages you might see at first.They are usually looted already so you'll find nothing.

Those maps are the bane of anti-games.Please stop making them and informing all players of them.Thats just meta-gaming the system when the experience lies in searching the land real time.

Calculate your range?ISn't just lifting the weapon slightly for distance?I mean alot of weapons have grade scales where you just aim up a bit depending on distance.Dont see a reason for zeroing functions on weapons when you can just have a scale on optics.Could be waaaaaaaaaay off base here. LOL

At the Powerplant I found a pair of "Boots of silent walking".Its north of Stary and be very careful as they are a highly prized loot....rare and hence you will be most likely killed for them if you do happen to find them.

I think I have this bug.Watching videos and the animations seem different then what I see on my screen.Thats bothersome but what really gets me is when I crouch walk my footststeps sound like I am pounding my feet on the ground.Does your friend have very loud footsounds when crouching?

Why nerf food then?This way you need to work for blood.Find a ton of cans or hunt and cook some steaks for faster health regen.

Always wanted FPS style games to make the mouse scroll wheel control the speed of the character.Press once and you sprint,again and you walk while scrolling the wheel gives you all other speeds in between like jogging.

How will you ever escape them if buildings do not slow them down and your out of ammo and not near s steep hill??

Why not make it so that when you log out you stay in game for say 2 minutes.Its annoying and all but it removes the possibility of near death log outs.

But sneaking is a real pain in the ass and builds immersion.Plus Rocket is making it more realistic with probability added so that they will start seeing you further away if your out in open...or have a chance to see you.

NAh sorry..Thats Stalker world with radiation.Rocket loves realism inside of game or as much realism as the brain can still take. :) Better is more severe weather with heavy jacket skins,camp fires needed when your temps drop too low,heat packs etc.

EVery ZA movie has military trying to get control.This would add greatly to immersion but also bring its own issues sadly.

I am all for a beginner server.I am just learning the A2 game itself with its many quirks.I played once for 3 hours and finally got an Enfield and felt all good only to then be snipered.That kinda ruined it for me since I wanna try to survive in a more sane ZA where people help each other out.The hardcore server IMO is where most will graduate to since its more life like as many people will go nuts.But of course not 50/50 chances of bad people as it is now.

Call them starter servers and just turn off PVP.When people get good equipment and learn how to play the game well they can graduate to the hardcore servers.;)

Turn broken bones into being bitten with a bite icon.Instead of having to crawl you can now walk but not run due to the intense pain.Now the morphine is to be able to counter the pain allowing you to run.Make it so that you need to find antibiotics if the bite gets infected 50/50% chance. Could leave broken bones but make it arms instead of legs(no two handed weapons allowed) and then have it so you need to build the splint many are asking for. Stamina system where you can run at higher speed for say a real hour if you consume caffeinated sodas.Plain water and your running speed slows down slightly to where you feel it but its not annoying.;) Also Rocket,please change the backpack icons to realistic things.You have built such an immersive world that when things do not click it stands out.Instead of carrying around tires,make it a tire repair kit(possible need of a crowbar).Engine parts=carburetor,helicopter rotor=hydraulic lines etc.

Maybe a system that prevents PVP pr player until you reach a certain level.I just played 3 hours straight.Found an Enfield and a 1911 and was on top of the world.I found myself in a factory town and was slwoly looking for food when a sniper just took me down.That is just not real to me and ruined the experience big time.But that said I would love to do some PVP later on after I tire of the survival aspect.

I wanna see alot of SVD's and the like.This would increase players being able to avoid being sniped since most of the American snipers are just way too overpowered.

Would removal of all food and water spawns from NWAF benefit gameplay?I would think that would mean less camping there.
