Redrick (DayZ)

Why is it strange though, back on the initial release this was the norm to do when you encountered another player.

I've been playing the game since release and have yet to kill one person who hasn't shot at me first. My little face was at a smile, and not a nasty one.

Both, on all of them I get the words friendly out in through my mic and my keyboard.

Agreed but nothing will become of it. Getting killed for starter gear is just retarteded. Not even a gun, a bandage, and a painkiller.

Ok, I've noticed outside the immediate cooking of steaks, and posing for group shots, the purpose of campfires is seemingly pointless. I mean sure, you huddle around it to keep your temperature up, but beyond the 5 minutes of doing that it's more of a cosmetic feature. I'm wondering what can be added to make campfires useful for prolonge exposure. Maybe it's my inner stalker talking, but it was those seldom campfires where your brothers huddled around just telling stories that truly made me feel safe in the zone (As far as I know STALKER is the only game with random campfires). Perhaps, since Side chat is out, and direct chat is now working, maybe if the game detects a campfire, and another person or persons sitting around it talking through direct chat something positive can happen for the players involved. No, this isn't some "GROUP UP MORE GAMEPLAY MECHANIC GOES GOOD" suggestion. No, this is a natural realistic suggestion that in the real world would make sense. So, what could this positive thing be that would make people actually want to sit down by a fire? (Original thread was deleted, was told it was cool to just remake it)

Nein. Pvp is a welcomed aspect in my eyes, you die, you learn, pvp or zombies. Sure I get frustrated, but I take it as a part of the game. Zombies are the backdrop of DayZ, not the players.

Bahaha, fucking awesome. He mentioned me, I was the guy that posted about having to stop after killing someone and was shaking so much.

Date/Time: Last 5 days What happened: Direct Comms is completely broke. Both VOIP and Chat is broken Where you were: Anywhere in game What you were doing: Anything It's happened on every server, and it's been happening with a lot of people. A handful on each server have it working, but the great majority still have it busted.

I think a nice little feature to add to the atmosphere to the game would be to allow the player to examine corpse's for causes of death. It could range from: "Claw marks are found all over this body"- Indication that he died of zombies and perhaps you shouldn't go forward into the town or area ahead "A gunshot wound is on his head" - Indication that he was killed by another player, and the person may still be about You could even go so far to examine how long the persons corpse has been there. Maybe like: "Based on the number of flies surrounding the body, he/she has been dead for several hours/only a few minutes/the good part of the day/exc...

Please no

FUND It

Rocket makes it clear the game wont be for everyone at the beginning of alpha, he released a patch geared toward making his original image a reality, people bitch and moan about how they arn't able to see at night, shoot for beans immediatly, exc. My face muscles form a wide grin as I welcome back the playerbase that DayZ was originally intended for in the first few weeks, with the others leaving.

Servers with 0 zombies means 0 loot. You want better loot, find a server with a huge amount of zeds. As for the player in black, no clue. The game does give that feeling though doesn't it? It's just way to vast and open, and in a server where it's only 1-10 players you can't help but feel there is something out there that shouldn't be there, something just beyond you eyes. It's a weird feeling, but I think we all have it. Whether or not that feeling is just our nerves, or something is actually there is something else entirely.

He's the hero that DayZ deserves, but not the one it needs right now... and so we'll hunt him... because he can take it... because he's not a hero... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a stranger...

YES Subtle, and it shows your keeping the realism in mind without taking it off the fact that this is still a video game.

Already been suggested, not real enough, get out immediatly. No offense meant, but thats really the reaction your going to get, even though I feel it would be neat.

RELEASE IT TODAY I HAVE THE NEXT 2 DAYS OFF, I NEED MY FIX BRO

I like Oktybar (Im too lazy to look at your name) 's idea. The way he mentioned the tension from getting kicked if you died once sounds awesome. OBVIOUSLY, however, it shouldn't be that drastic. I don't really know what kind of time frame it should be, but yes, something needs to be done.

Roll with the punches for now, or just outright avoid other players. I know it sucks when literraly 90% of people you come across shoot you on sight, but give it a month or two when humanity is re-introduced in a proper way.

Lol, believe it or not I'm not a bandit. I am the guy you'd meet and would yell out "Friendly Friendly!" hoping that you'd respond the same, and would like to team up and cooperate it up. I'm just saying based on past experience, you should assume that every person you come across is trying to get something from you.(No offence meant to any broads out there obviously).

Playing as a female has many more perks then a dude. One can claim they dont have a mic, change there name to a girls, and bam. Expect to never get killed, gain weapons, have protection. Part of the game I suppose, I plan on playing no favorites here.

In all seriousness I think Rocket should add a big foot esque monster for each server. 1 per map, and the cool part is he isn't going to tell anyone if he adds it or not. It will be cool to catch rumors, and the like before anyone actually figures out what it is.

Rocket, just make the damn game the way you want. You'll know if we as a community displease of your actions, then go from there.
