And who do you want to scare off with that? Zombies? Most players won't bother.

You can scare people without having to rely on tons of gore. You'd have to create a certain athmosphere though but DayZ doesn't have it when you hear gunshots all over the place. Nowadays gore is like every other cgi effect/explosion/nuke...way too much and always present through the whole movie/game.

Well it's true that the quality of gamers ( skill and personality ) really went down in the two decades i've been playing online...all they can do is point, shoot and bunnyhop ( had a player shooting another teammate with a drummag PPSH below 20m with double tap, firepower and penetration across the street and got owned by a revolver at 1m, yes my buddy was closing in while beeing fired upon at 1000rpm and 99% of the players i encountered were like that, map start grenade spam shoot from spawn to spawn through walls ) with no skill at all and insult you when you kick their asses in every session. Just too bad they never go extinct.

Some things should just be left IRL imo...

Don't really need it...in fact there is already too much in games already and often surreal anyway.

Not sure why they used western vehicle crashes when there were enough models of russian vehicles around..i mean if theee was a military intervention why didn't the russian army come? They are practically next door. And mobs only have those super modern P90, G36, AA12, AS50, M107 and whatever hip weapons in action movies...they also have a tight budget. Any surplus AK from the black market works as good and is like 100x cheaper...want a 50$ rifle that kills or do you need a 3000$ rifle to do the job?

I had to...it was just too tempting even if it is kind of out of question for a post-soviet farmer.

OMG!!!! Get ready for the bashing!!! I do agree some people don't understand certain parts of the game...if hunger, thirst or wounds were not in game they wouldn't miss it. It was already just a nuisance in Wasteland...not really necessary to carry those barrels and tables around when you plan to die anyway.

Yes it still is, if you had to go up- and downhill you would have a terrible average speed but for they already increased the average speed of a player for the sake of gameplay so why not turn a blind eye in this matter, too?

Every person is healthy until hit by a projectile...i'd like show you a pic of a 5.56x45 gunshot wound on a thigh but it would be too graphic...here's the x-ray instead...the bone was fractured but it's rumored it wasn't hit directly. They mention the shot was taken from about 45-50m distance. The tiny bits are bullet and bone fragments, it's a miracle the artery wasn't ruptured. This is for people who think shooting someone in game or in movies just puts a hole a lot of pain into the victim...Talk about healthy... LOL Edit: Found the statement of the doc who handled the case.

Well Guppy what is dark for you? If he turned off his lamp it would be as black as the original background from the forum. You can't balance black...

Did you install modified pbos? Did you look into the game folder if there are left over pbo files? Afaik the uninstaller doesn't delete files it doesn't recognize as original.

Bikes are too fast...i want to see that guy who can pedal to 60km/h over hills, they have to fix that first before implementing them. I could barely hold 45km/h on my mountainbike on a level road for a short amount of time, 30km/h would be a tolerable cruising speed...if you don't have a mega backpack full of ammo and weapons.

It depends on the individual/group mentality of course. But judging from the rant about nighttime in the mod and SA i am sure it will still be the same even if they made a 1:1 copy of the mod on the "new" engine and told players this is the SA. People will still want nvgs because this is the only way they can keep their old ways of KoSing instead of playing a survival game, nobody would even make a fire to warm up they would rather freeze to death even if their virtual life depended on it before creating a light source players can target because of the KoS mentality. It's not "Oh look another group has made a campfire, let's ask if we can join them, safety in numbers." it's "Oh look a campfire, let's kill everyone there". When we were in a group one or two had nvgs but the others didn't and when we didn't have any nvgs we relied on players who had weapons with flashlights or some players volunteered to be the guys swinging a flashlight instead of a secondary lighting up zeds or other players ( like the poor guy who attacked our group of 15 in the middle of the night when we were using red chemsticks to mark eachother to avoid FF lol ). Nobody even thought of increasing gamma back then... 1.8.x is so much different than the mod i played a long time ago before taking a longer break ( around the time when the AS50 became popular etc. ). It really is fun to play from dusk til dawn ( without tinkering with the gamma settings ) and i got so used to it i really feel uncomfortable playing during daytime.

There would be a hundred rant posts like... "WTF bad fps" "GAME SUX LAG IN THE CITY!! "OPTIMIZE THE GAME DAMNIT!!!!!" "*********" "DAYZ DOWNTOWN ALPHER? NEVER AGAIN!!!" "Looking for donations to buy a NASA computer..." ...

If you make a face model or every state the face is in...yes. But...how would you get a scar when you get KoSed anyway?

Stop coming here after watching those zombie series and suggest something that can only work there.

Those "hardcore" daywalkers would just hop to another server for the next 3 hours... The only thing that needs fixing is the fear that players have playing in the night. You can add tons of light sources you can use in game yet everybody wants night vision goggles like everybody owns one because they don't have the balls to "expose" themselves to the "enemy" ( < which enemy? ) The bug that walls don't reflect light can easily be fixed, not that wall reflects light but at least lights your surroundings.

Imo it's more of what rocket decides on a whim...you can lose track of what you do or wanted to do very easy when you become popular too fast. You feel the need to satisfy the wrong people and forget your fanbase.

They didn't say when the outbreak happened but it's clearly in a "post-soviet" country. I'm sure eastern bloc weapon fanboys don't want western weapons gone...just less likely to find compared to native equipment.

The M4s were brought into the country by a regiment of spec ops soldiers, that's why they outnumber the amount of AKs you can find in the country. I bet they dropped their M4s and took the AKs home because they are more reliable. ;)

The old AK recievers are still built and even prefered to the stamped one in terms of sturdiness. Of course the market is flooded with Type 56s, too. Type 56 come in stamped and milled flavors unlike the grand daddy AK47 and the son AKM.

Better not, you might end up breaking your leg and dying from the shock and bloodloss. :lol:

You're a sadist but i like your idea. Instead of having the person starve to death when logged out for weeks like on suggested a long time ago you just get a minor/major thirst/hunger problem so you can't go KoS right away but have to feed first...

It really sucks that you can bypass a ban with a new steam account..people should know what they are doing when they "try to hack"...
