DevilDog (DayZ)

I don't mind a safe zone, but it would have to be done right. The idea with AI ect is not to my liking. Also the biggest problem with a safe zone is that people will get murdered going in or out. Just contact the Trading Company and they can help keep you safe for a trade.

Agreed. Players should not be punished by the game for wanting to kill other players.

I made a post about this too. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=23972&highlight=status+effect It included pain killer addiction as well. Great idea though, glad more people like it.

As I said, it does not bother me, but continually seeing "how to fix/nerf bandit" posts gets annoying. The game itself provides a solution to every problem. If you don't have a problem with snipers, then this is not aimed at you. But remember at one point you were that weak noob running around cherno getting sniped by a well armed bandit. Me? I like to head south every once in a while and take care of a couple snipers, just to keep them on their toes. I would help out the weaker guys in other ways but they can't be trusted lol.

This is the best thing I have ever read on these forums, seriously lol. I love this.

"I just can't wait till they possibly make all building enterable, I know I have heard a few E3 rumors saying they would eventually make all building enterable. Would also be cool if he left some of them locked, and added some Utility with the crowbar, making it so you can put it on your Tool belt and use it to Pry open locked doors, then he can also add lock boxes, crates, chests, etc you can pry open either as loot or player storage or both, can eventually make cars lockable with a upgrade / Key, then you can use the crowbar to pry them open or break a window or something. Lots of good stuff I can add to this, could go on for days. Prying stuff open could have a animation (so it takes time) and also make noise that can attract zombie and human attention. Lots of good options here. " I like that idea a ton. Awesome thinking. Anything with more TOOLS in game is great. I really think an end of the world event tools would be very valuable. So the tool box, hatchet, knife, crowbar is a great start. Maybe some gunsmiths tools to apply a suppressor and maintain weapons. Any other tools would be welcomed by me. Also the right click to hatchet/flashlight/knife is great (or right click for buttstroke even).

Ok well in this case we should have to send in a picture of us with our own guns to simulate real life. That makes me happy because I have nicer guns than I can usually find in game :D BUT...most importantly. This V This is correct. ^^^ Funny how many people forget that or just don't realize it. Also it is a MOD, not a game that they paid money for. Go buy Resident Evil or something.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=23343&highlight=bounty+hunter I had suggested this as well. Mostly because I liked it in another game. I don't think you should be magically given his location though. I think you would need some type of tracking skill in the game.

I have always thought a game where you get better at what you do in game would be awesome. Do a lot of in game swimming? Get better at it. Run more and your endurance/speed increases. Shot the 1911 a lot, get better at it. I think Vanguard had something like this.

Things don't save every second. If you found the gillie and then logged off right away there is a chance your character was not saved. Next time wait a couple minutes. Good kill. Anyone with a machine gun or a sniper rifle is an automatic target imo.

I am generally against making this game a SP game, I think it would take players away from the MP aspect which is what this game is about...>BUT, after reading some of these replies I actually think a SP mode that serves as the back story to this point would be pretty cool. It could bring you through the beginning stages of the outbreak. At the beginning you would maybe kill a few crazy bandit types, then lead into the wide spread out break and would have to get through certain places (not on this map), and at the end of the SP mode you escape on a boat, that then sinks off the coast and you swim for it. Want to continue your tail? Play MP. Want to play the SP mode over and over go for it. I think that would be cool. (PS- I generally don't play the online MP part of games and enjoy the SP modes the most (like Battlefield and all the mods); but really think this game needs the MP part)

I don't mind the weapon cleaning thing. Would suck to get shot in the face while your SVD is in pieces on your lap lol. Ever play STALKER? It sucked when you would be in the middle of a fire fight and your shit would start to jam, but it is certainly realistic. The canned food thing is a bit much. If it comes down to me starving I will bash the can open with a rock. The water thing could go in. A slight chance of getting dysentery or something if you don't have iodine pills. As for the smoking/salting thing I just assume I am actually doing that rather than BBQing the steaks now lol.

Just wondering if you will be able to switch servers for ever? This is probably going to stick around unless DayZ becomes a stand alone. It is more of a FPS thing than a MMO thing. The reason I ask is because I like the accountability and revenge factors of sticking to 1 server. I know a lot of people complain about the PVP, not me; and I don't want to change the PvP. But with sticking to one server you get to know people and know who the dirt bags are and who the trust worthy people are. More importantly (imo) though you get to hold people accountable. Some guy attacks you and takes your stuff, you get to try and find him and take him out and get some revenge plus your stuff back. This is not really a suggestion, just a question.

It's a UH-1Y Venom not a Huey. The Venom is the Super Huey, he was not wrong in calling it a Huey. Technically the N model was the Twin Huey but people just left off the "Twin" part. :P Anyway, as for the weapon. It is probably one of the most useful weapons in the game if you play any type of stealth game. If you are a super sniper or a machine gunning nut case it might not be for you.

1) Lowering avaiability of ammo will not stop PKing. If I only have 10 shots and have a choice, kill a player in 1-2 shots or try to loot a spawn with 10-15 zeds the choice is easy; I kill the player and take his ammo. 2) This is a FPSMMO, I don't want ammo to be a rare thing.

I would almost rather everyone starts with a random melee weapon (bat, large wrench, metal pipe). If you start with a knife then you would be able to gut animals and so you are at an advantage right away. A bat, large pipe wrench or metal pipe would have no other use in game other than crushing heads.

The more I hear about the CQF guys the more it sounds like they are not friendly at all lol.

I agree. Also what if the lights were off down there, or at least parts. Imagine how creepy it would be walking down there with a gas mask on and a flash light or flares lighting the way. :)

Can we have a CH-46 instead? It does not get any love in games, plus Arma 2 has the Marine Corps sent to Russia, not the Army. Also they would have M2 50 cals on each side, but no armor (other than minor armor sometimes over part of the engine and front trany). Guess what I did in the Marine Corps lol. Anyway, I really like the idea.

Awesome idea. I think I read one of the Rocket interviews where he says he likes the idea of underground bunkers and Arma 3 will allow him to use them. The gask mask thing would be awesome as well, and would make the M4 (what ever they call it in this game) shotgun from Benelli more useful, or other CQB type weapons.
