Frozen (DayZ)

FUCK THE AGE RESTRICTION. alcohol HAS to be in game, especially - moonshine. simply because of its medical purpose. thats why i believe thirst and hydration should be separated, to differentiate drinks.

that`s a bad suggestion, actually, because barbed wire shouldnt stop anyone, especially such badly fixated as in dayz

its like private hive servers: they arent supported but they do exist. same with chat - officially its disabled, but some server have it.

I believe most of people`ve played a Bioshock or Skyrim, and remember how hacking/lockpickng works in that games. So i think actions that average people dont know like: starting a campfire(yup, some people dont know how to do it), giving a blood transfusion, repairing a car etc. should be in for of a minigame that represent an action that you are doing. For example a blood transfusion: a player will have to pick a place where to stick a needle, and maybe with a decent angle. it will make thing a bit more complicated, and make this actions a bit more time consuming as they are in real life. It will also differentiate experienced player form new ones and add some sort of character progressing, but instead of character progress a player.

people tend to judge suggestion by thtreads name, so you are right at this point. quicktests, in my mind, associates with series of short question with time limit. sadly but minigames is the only word that actually fits(at least that i know) this kind of action in games.

well skill checks dont sound to me right also, becuase it reminds me of skill requirements in fallout new vegas

well if it would make into a game like you described, that will be fucked up... but the suggestion is to make a minigame(i cant come up with better name) that simulates the action you are doing.

that post just broke my mind

and how would you called em? not quick time events thats for sure >_>

well you can fail with setting a campfire(waste of matches) or assembling a tank trap(wrong shape, loss of bolts and screws). failing with gutting will result in loss of cook able meat - thin pieces will simply burn and become uneatable and thick ones wont be cooked properly. a progress bar will be appropriate for every action, and especially that you cannot fail - eating, drinking, bandaging etc. but applying a progress bar for everything wont include any skill usage turning everyone basically in universal soldiers, which doesnt quite represent reality.

kill noobs in elektro and cherno, not a bad objective i have to say.

well its supposed to represent action like they are in real life(not so long thou), so its no surprise that it will leave you vulnerable for certain amount of time. i`m not a fan of repairing an engine, that take way more then 1 min irl, at super speed with animation of hugging an imaginary friend

do you also run a 1.60 arma patch?

you use shotguns? lol. but yeah, its quite lame.

i imagine sign that says:(translation from russian)"while you alt+tabed from game, to translate this text via google translate, i`ve emptied your backpack"

^this, BUT buying "somewhere else" from somewhere else, can result in ban of CD-key, because trader sold same key twice or even more times. so pick "somewhere else" with caution.

ugh, this "hi-tech farmers".... all that you need to milk a cow is a container to store a milk.

i think it should be white, for proper reference :)

i think rocket should give all testers an optional custom skin, with white shirt that has following text: "I`ve bought Arma2 for DayZ mod. I`ve got killed by doors, trees, rocks and hackers. Now i bought DayZ standalone and all i`ve got is this stupid shirt."

Fraggle can we have an EMO section or something, where people could cry?

what are you talking about? oO

i remember crawling from nwaf to berezino, for morphine >_>

1 agree with this. some bloodbags became unusable, but i guess survivors are smart enough to check only for fresh ones. 2 thats quite an issue in game design. rocket wants that people who know stuff about survival could apply this knowledge in dayz.. if add "medical book" in game that has info about transfusion, upon death you character will lose this knowledge, but player still know how to do it. so at this point there should be a mini game(pick a place where to stick a needle) and a poster in a hospital that describes proper position for a needle. so people who know learned how to do it, wont be forced to learn when they star a new character. 2A. there was a suggestion of adding alcohol, so i hope it will make into standalone :). but if you got shot, you will have more major problem then infection.

if people suicide if they spawned in kamenka they will suicide if they expect to get couple transfusions per characters life. assuming servers population, i believe there left enough O- bloodbags for everyone.

they said that standalone will be soon...
