Frozen (DayZ)

why no just add zombies to the forest and increase their quantity in night time?

well, usually server is running 50 player. if we combine two we get 100( a bit rough calculation, but anyway). in this case i dont see any reason to combine more then 3-5 server. or we get massive overpopulation, and a lot gunfire. its technically wont change anything, but just increase quantity of slots per server.

why make such unimportant thing such complex? you shoot it and it just dies, and never stands up.

thats bullshit. have you imagined what happns to a body if you unload into it, lets say for instance, 50 buckshots? or few mags of .50cal BMG? cuz thats goin to happen with them with you system. probably not, and i doubt that something would`ve left after that. and you want thats bits of ash to stand back after 10 min? damn...

for me such change wont bet a gamechenging at all, so i voted "yes". and yes it will solve many problems that current system has and improve performance(less or even none data to send to hive), but this is not going to happen, because if Rocket wanted character bound to server, he would`ve done it from the start of the mod, but he wants characters to be persistent trough servers.

there is no problem spawning without wepon(lets pretend that fists aint weapon), the problem is actually with picking up weapon. for instance, you runing with a zombie on you tail, and see a hatchet what would you do?- duck and grab, then chop the bastard. seems right? now what survivor does: stop, crouch, takes it and place it on the belt, removes it from the belt(lets ignore reload part), and only then tries to chop the bastard, which was slapping survivor for about 5 seconds. so yeah, inventory system and picking up object way too fucked up for such game, which cant be changed till game become standalone. and yeah, game by itself way too easy, which leads too unreasonable gunfire

wow a whining sniper, seriously?

zeroing on .50cals is fine, but what i`d like to see that m107 and as50 were replaced by barret m99, approximately same shit, but its a single-shot rifle, in arma its means 1 cartridge per mag, and they can be refilled via relog. and issue with amr rifles is solved.

that trap wont hold humans leg, it will just cut it off, so person who was cough in it, just free to crawl away and die from bleeding :D

the problem with consoles its not thier hardware or community, the main reason i`m against them, its because most of the games are crossplatform, and thus pc gamers receive dumbed down games for consoles, with fucked up mouse controls.

its a standard attitude that you get after spending some time on particular forum: same shit repeated over and over again, just piss you off. as is said, there are server with local database that dont suffer from serverhopers, and currently i`m playing on one of them, so you are wrong

will you people just die? seriously, its just fucking annoying. Rocket said thats hes working on the system to prevent al+f4, and if you dont like server hoping, you can play on server thats is connected to the hive, meaning its have local database, making server hoping impossible.

if you can fill bottle with pond water and drink it safe, i dont see any reason to penalize drinking without bottle.

just for the experiment: ps3/xbox360 gamepad has 16 buttons(d-pad included). buttons that you need to play DayZ: esc q e z x c lshift k l m ctrl+m g f r v alt lmb rmb scrollwheel num enter 20 buttons total, since i cant imagine use of q and e on gamepad, we can just exclude them, thus we have 18 left. z, x, c can be bound to the same key meaning we have 16 left. i think its possible. bu this will probably require to change system of picking objects to that like in TES, which would be a good thing for pc as well.

air drops of meds and food seems logical, but dropping weapon is not. who would drop military weapons in zombie invaded land? except its some sort of damn tv show

a medkit without antibiotics and alcohol?

remington 870 already in the game. i dont mind adding more shotguns, bu i`d like too see magazine fed one(siga, usas,aa-12, usas-12),to reduse frustration of using a shotgun because of arma`s ammo mechanics

probably because that towns dosnt look like complete shit hole that doesnt have a drugstore. but that probably just for me.

it seem a little bit unrealistic that big town like zelenogorsk or vybor doesnt have atleast a drugstore

when thread name doesnt describe the suggestion, i usually skip op and read the comments :D

well i dont know hat happen earlier: arma 3 or standalone dayz. if arma 3 will be first, then it should be ok(the proper ammo system will only be good for arma 3, and i hope bis realize it) if standalone dayz comes first, then it will bo probably be using current engine, and i hope this wont happen, and i hope that dayz`s team realize that improved engine will be only good for the game. same thing as with wall - you have to find the place on zombies body where bolt hit it.

magazine fed crossbow(pretty much like in half-life) is the only type of crossbow that fits fucked up Arma`s mechanic for ammo. i know its intended to be realistic, but its only realistic for magazine/clip fed weapons. and the other weapons(tube fed shotguns, crossbows etc.) pretty much fucked. the only thing left for us is to hope that in arna 3 they will remake this crappy system in rea onel: leave current system for magazine fed weapons, and just add the "standard" system what we see in cod and battlefield for other weapons. until then thread like this completely pointless

event though it was suggested already, i say:yes.

i dont actually care about this. you cant already find server with local db, and they usually half empty(for obvious reasons). so if you want to be protected from ghosts and loot farmers, you just need to find them.
