After reading a few threads, I came up with a great and realistic idea for a PvP looting system. The Idea Item rarity will directly correlate to the probability of taking that item off of recently killed or dead players. Essentially, the more common items a player is carrying will have a higher chance of "dropping" while more rare items like weapons and special equipment will have a lower percentage. Making Realistic Sense After a player takes 4 to 5 rounds center-mass, it's likely that some of his carried items would be damaged. Pros: -Discourage some types of PvPers -Simulate Realism -Broaden the scope of the game as a whole -Players exert more energy into finding weapons naturally -You Decide Cons: -Will piss off some players -No guaranteed transference of power (kill a rival squad, might get their weapons) -Items not dropped will essentially be removed from the game -You decide Alternatives: Just implement a randomizing variable that tells the probability of all items when dropped, eliminating the "rarity" factor and just going for random damage. Discuss.

Thanks for the new truck guys! It's been filled with many magical and wonderful things! http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577835582107664821/0A21E63E0A7AA757585E8CFEA64BAAE5EC4E2406/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577835582107665272/5C0EB5EB1B50B0174089AE96B29C30BA7FF61D5A/ http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/577835582107663900/F172E5D8FE0910997DA1B0BD1377F219C322313C/ I hope the owners wont be mad. :cool:

I'm definately going to watch his stream when he comes online! haha!

To the group of guys outside of Kabanino/Vybor: I discovered a field with two downed helicopters on Seattle 102. I started firing on zombies around one of the helios with my SA50 from a distance, hoping to clear some of them so I can begin looting. I drew zombie aggro and killed the zombie on me but unfortunately, I also broke my leg. Something must have been going on with the server because I lost connection. However, upon entering back into the server, I spawned in the field across from the helios, and I saw you three running towards the Deer Stand that was about 100m away from where I was. At first I thought I would let you go, but then I realized I had a broken leg, and you were about to raid the helicopters that I had been trying to clear out. So as soon as you grouped up, I took out 2 of you with my AS50, the last guy ran away and DC'ed. A few moments later, I killed a female player running directly at me with a bunch of zombies on her. Had to take her out as well. I looted your bodies and one of you had morphine. Success. I just wanted to say I'm sorry I had to take you out, but you probably would have done the same to me. I normally am friendly but in this case my survival depended on it. In the meantime, I'll be counter-sniping bandits in Cherno and Elektro. Good luck.

Whine cry, whine whine cry. Fuss about nothing. What are we talking about again? Oh, that's right OP's, post. Let's get back on topic.

I like using 3dp for crawling around cities, gives me a better view of zombies. I would never use it in PvP because there's essentially no way to aim. Even with crosshairs, the aim isn't true. It's funny that the people against 3dp claim players are using it strictly for PvP to "cheat" around corners, trees, and grass. Isn't that kind of pointless unless you KNOW someone else is there? And if they were on the same server, wouldn't they be able to use 3dp too? Just sayin'.

Reported this before seeing this thread. Same issue here.

Every english speaking country save for the U.S. pronounce the letter "Z" as "Zed" whereas people in the U.S. say "Zee". Quite funny as the mods name in english speaking countries: Day "Zed" And in the U.S.: Day "Zee" Which sounds like "Daisy" Being from the states, it really makes for a funny conversation when you tell your friends you've been playing a game called "Daisy". I'm just going to start saying "Zed", fuck you Ben Franklin.

I try not to shoot unless they shoot first. 1st kill was after a guy camping in one of those log cabin houses shot me with a lee einfeild after rounding the corner (no strafe through doors :(), which knocked me to the ground. On the ground I opened fired on him with my shotgun, hitting him with two blasts. He bled out shortly after but managed to kill me after I unloaded on him. 2nd really true kill was when I heard a guy running towards my friend and I in Elektro. I wasn't sure if he meant harm but I wasn't taking chances in Elektro, from a distance, I plugged him with two .45 revolver rounds. I'm fairly sure he was already injured. He ran off around the street corner, losing LOS, where my friend and I ran after him. Few seconds later I heard him next to the church where he was bleeding out. Put one in his head and looted the body for 2 bloodpacks, several bandages, and some morphine. 3rd kill happened directly after the 2nd. My friend walked in to the church to get some loot. I was a moment behind, still looting the body of #2. I round the corner into the main entrance of the chruch to see two players inside. One taking aim at the other while prone (obviously seeing him come inside but didn't get a shot off), the other one looting a pile of stuff in the back. Confused at first, I asked my friend over TS, "Shit! Which one are you?!" before my friend gets a chance to respond, the guy in the prone position turns to me and starts firing. Luckily, I'm halfway behind one of the pillars and he's a bad shot. Shit was wierd man, it felt so real as a shot of adreanaline kicked in trying to focus on his shots. I round the other side of the pillar and blast him with 4 revolver round, killing him. Friend loots the body and we get out of Elektro within 15 mins of spawning with exellent gear and supplies. I've only killed 3 people within about 2 weeks of playing the game and two of those were yesterday. I've died quite a bit more, mostly to sniper fire. I'm all for PvP but snipers kind of piss me off. I found that snipers kill other players not because they need supplies, but mostly do it to establish they are awesome by killing players from 400m away. I'm pretty friendly, but usually with a group of people I know outside of the game who typically don't take chances with other players.
