Not really, but the pen and paper role playing game "Vampire: the masquerade" has a quite lengthly take on humanity, and the struggle of vampires to keep their humanity and not succumb to the "beast". With the upcoming clothing system for the standalone, skins based on allignment becomes redundant.

My opinion is that you should never be able to "remove" objects out of the game. Any object that you aquired should remain "in game" which means that someone should be able to find then and steal them. Of course the player is technically removing objects from the game when he logs off. But it's a tradeoff, because the objects are put back in the game when he log back on.

That's not what i would call difficulty. More like a calculated risk. Do you rather risk starving to death or will you eat raw meat, knowing that it's not something you should do because of the risk of infection.

I really wish they would get rid of humanity as it currently is: A silly, artificial system that shove everyone in two categories "good versus "meanies". I don't mind the concept itself (even if it would be better used in a vampire game really...) i just hate it's implementation in DayZ.

That's the problem i have with my game prototype at the moment. I would like to add voice chat but i know that if it is even just a little more restrictive than, lets say a skype call, it's not gonna be used.

Just a little thing for the few modelers in here, whenever you put a download link, don't forget to include your licensing terms. the creative common licenses are fairly easy to understand and flexible enough to allow others to use your work, and all the legal crap is already done. https://creativecommons.org/choose/ i would suggest CC-BY-NC which ensure that you remain credited as the creator and disallow commercial use, but there are a few more, or less restrictive ones. It's just that, internet being plunder land for most people, it's better to be clear on that stuff.

Is the texture on the mesh your actual wireframe? if it is, no offense but this is way too heavy polygon for a game grade model compared to the actual surface details.

Well let me clarify things then. You probably heard the saying "do not bring a knife to a gun fight". There is a reason why in homicides involving knives, "multiple stab wounds" usually appears in the news title.

Now OP how about you explain us WHY dayZ needs a tank? Because you haven't explained your reasoning, if there was anything else than the cool factor obviously.

Nice OP, one little criticism tho, you might have gone overboard with the polygons on those cylinders. Fun KSP reference tho.

Pleaaase no "COD" Melees, you have a gun, use it -_-

How about coming up with a "mid level" non modifiable vegetation setting that is forced on everyone?

I suppose but aren't dayZ characters average guys? aka, NOT veteran navy seal able to perfectly execute a choke hold?

I'm all for melee attacks... as long as they are bloody useless: -Start punching a zombie, he grab a hold of your arm and tear the flesh off your arm/bite a few of your fingers off. -Try to strangle an armed player, he turns around and bash your skull with his gun until you stop moving.

Seeing as hip shooting without crosshair and with floating barrel is already the standard in Red Orchestra, i do not see where the problem is.

No need to jump through these hoops, Virtual BattleSpace, which is the military grade version of arma has a "pluggable AI" system, where you can basically outsource your AI work to a dedicated system.

Yeah, to me using loot probabilities without weighting it with the total usage rate of each weapon is pointless if you can force loot to cycle. if AS50 is ment to spawn X% of the time, the game should try to enforce that the percentage of AS50 doesn't go over X% of all the weapons stashed by players. Even if it means stopping to spawn AS50 ammo for several weeks. (this is not specific to the AS50 which i'm using as an example but all loot in general)

For me the real question is the following: What is the place of those rifles in the world of DayZ. Do they even have one or are they there for being some kind of "top tier" call of duty-esque rifle? If we do not get the loot system to take in account how many weapons of a given type are currently in circulation, it's pointless to make "super duper rare" guns because all you need is time and a lot of loot cycling to eventually get what you want. If there is an ounce of competition in a gear based game, nobody settle for "second best rifle".

Lets not even think about what this kind of gun does to your ears if you aren't wearing protections. Even an AK is already over the pain threshold.

Sorry but to me, the admin's job is not to babysit the gameplay, we need technical solutions, not "throw more (free) man hours at it", on a stable game, the server admin should be able to do his job in peace, which is purely a maintenance job. We just need to wait for the SA to lock down what clients can do, it should greatly improve the situation.

As said before, the barrel in the arma engine is the source of the bullet and it's direction, so you have pretty much all the perks of real world hip shooting available to you, it's just a matter of learning it. The same way some people in FLight simulator know their plane so well that they can land without instruments, you, as a player can learn your gun well enough to hipshoot without crosshair.

How about no? I hate having to sift through a few good ideas buried in an ocean of bad ones, all in a single topic. Presenting reasonably ONE concept per topic means that not only the topic title can be related directly to the suggestion (instead of "a few suggestions from X"), and it can be debated properly.

That's part the the challenge of using some weapons.

The way "I" see it is that food needs should require you to move. You shouldn't be able to jsut sit in a corner of the map having all you need at hand. One of the major "points" of consumption of resources is to force you to leave your comfort zone to gather resources.

I think the hug "effect is a bit far fetched, hugging is already a benefit in itself :)
