Address gun damage to BIS, otherwise the DayZ team would have to either make their own gun models or modify the ones in the game which would be ridiculous because the damage system is good enough as it is. damage is defined by the type of bullet and not by the weapon. f.e. the M240 and M14 would use 7.62x51ball, the M9 and G17 would use 9x19mmball ect. Modifying it wouldn't be so difficult but would throw the game extremely off balance. Abundance of ammunition won't be a problem anymore with the next patch.

It sucks to be you....in fact i was in the same position some time ago. They could rethink the whole feeding drinking feature but because players don't play the game 24/7 it has to be done another way so looking for food or supplies doesn't become unimportant. If you only had to feed 3 times and 2L of water a day players would never need to do so and campers would never move from their bush. And having a timer coutdown even when the player is offline would be bad because if you go on a vacation your character would be dead by the time you return. Wasn't there a feature in the earlier versions when you take a longer off time that you need to feed? The system seems to be a bit buggy anyway. I know i lost blood, was hungry and thursty the one day i was playing but when i played the next day everything was reset, on another day i kept my stats.

I understand where you are coming from, there is a diary but i doubt you can write something in it. If you really want to keep track you could just write it down on a piece of RL paper. You should know the distance and location if you are an experienced player.

Only because they are common doesn't mean they have to be everywhere...all bikes are in China ( both types ). I'd rather expect to see more motorcycles and smaller cars in an eastern european region than tons of bikes. Where i was born you hardly saw a bike in fact the only bikes i saw where the ones you could rent and ride on a very huge parking lot. Most were cars, jeeps, trucks and busses. It's already suicidal to ride a quad....double suicidal to ride a bike that almost goes that fast. Most ppl will complain afterwards that they can't control them crash into something and die because they are too fast...the same happens with motorcycles btw...once they roll too fast you are a passenger. BIS handles the speed limit. Reduce Jerrycans then you can raise the amount of cars on the streets, make ppl fight for fuel and food ( and ammo ).

This is not CoD, BF2,3,4,5, and 6 where you have or need stats like that. I personally would never go to my victim just to write down his info, where i hit him with which bullet from which angle and what effect it had. Maybe gutt him and look what he had for lunch... I only need to know if the player i shot was a bandit ( in most cases the guy shooting you is one ) or a survivor which would make me feel bad ( what it did when i shot my second of two, maybe three players i killed during my career as survivor ). And how long i survived.

I can find my stuff really quick, either a double barrel shotgun or an axe. After that it's uphill for me. The best solution for ppl who want stuff shoved up their ass are too lazy to play the game and need a magic box apawned next to them to give them the best surviving chance in pvp. Come on ppl you even have an online map as an extra even without an in game map where all the sweet spots are marked, you even want a taxi to bring you there? Sorry for speaking it like it is. BTT Randomizing gear can be exploited but you counter that by having a player spawn with the same gear for a whole hour regardless of how many times he tries to respawn. After the countdown is finished the player will be spawned with a different type of gear etc. With this a player either chooses to make the best of what hes got or sit it out an hour and try again and be lucky. No chance for exploiting.

Too many PVPers....avg life exp. dropped by a minute!

Could be added via action menu, but a shot would be the most secure way to eliminate a target because you don't really get close that often.

Bad thing is you always find ammo for the weapon you currently don't have :( Stick to your preferences.

I had a Zombie give me a blowjob once......ONCE

You could let them live and kill them another day when they have more loot :D

You can't defeat TI except you kill yourself and become "cold". There is a way to delay the heat signature buildup by using a blanket or a special uniform but eventually they will warm up and show your position, too. To be completly invisible you need a cloaking device.

Cowbars and hatchets are remodeled guns with 10000 "shots" from what i read, did you see the dust you throw up when you hit the ground and the sound? Sounds like a ricochet, they are working on a sound for them already. One thing i hope is that they widen the cone of the melee weapons because you swing them around, i only can hit targets that are directly in the deathzone, 10m further to the side and you miss, quite difficult when you use TrackIR even in 1st person.

Yep, finding a spawned corpse with survival gear on him would be nice. We got lucky today finding two player corpses. Must be unlucky ones who were sniped by a camper, they were just killed and still had full gear.

Vehicles are a dangerous asset, loud and big targets. Nothing you really need if you want to survive a long time :D Buddy found a bus and honked the horn, you could hear it and even the engine from afar.

Invi spawn doesn't work in ArmA, you recieve the damage you die. As Dave and Flashhawk mentioned, log out in safer places, keep your distance to eachother and don't log in as a group. Might even surprise the bandits when they leave or start looting and get shot in the back. What happened to you is just the worst form of bad luck. Wrong time wrong place.

You don't even need that long. Buddy and i got killed and we had good gear, guns ( shotgun and bolt action ) and supplies in 10-15 minutes utilizing axes and pistols at first. You just need to have the guts to get out there and look for it. Those who don't look get nothing. I do hope the powerful weapons are toned down more, we stumbled over lots of assault and sniper rifles when we were looting western/nothern Chernarus leaving most of them behind, no need for a scoped rifle if you move a lot. I would be happy to find a more common weapon to this region more often that western guns...the AK.

The melee system in ArmA sucks. There was already a mount and blade like mod but the dream was shattered because until the sword swinging animation was ended the target just stepped aside, and the game wasn't meant for brawling anyway. The Z attack is an animation and a trigger that damages everything around the Zombie and not like f.e. in Skyrim.

You can already save each players data on the server he is playing, you just need to programm the mission that way.

There are ambient sound modules in the editor but i don't think the one or two you need are there.

Bandits are the so called PVPers you and i are talking about. They will not and will never care about this system because even if they were prompted to answer the question they would still shoot. And exactly those ppl ruin the game because they think it's a pvp only game, it was and is the same with Sahrani/Chernarus/City Life just with Cops vs Civs in their eyes. Player who don't intend to shoot a person on sight will never shoot anyway. And with what i understand an "innocent" respawner should be delayed with this feature while the bandit gets to kill the first in an instant? If that happened to me i would have died already because i ran into a bandit when i was new to the game and he just started shooting after he recovered from his shock, so did i. Even i tend to shoot or avoid a player if he is already shooting Zs or other players because i know he/she is on the edge and will shoot ou on sight. Until now i only engaged 2 players ( 1 bandit, 1 survivor ) the whole time i was playing and was attacked by players at least half a dozen times. The system you want doesn't make sense to me, it can't be built into the mission anyway because BIS never saw a need for that feature.

If i happen to survive a week and get good equipment i don't need a dog tag, badge or anything of that kind to see where it got.

Give Zombies guns, too before they start complaining about the game beeing unfair to them...

The nametag system isn't good because there is no possiblity to limit the distance and because this "scan" feature is frowned upon because you can see everyone even if you don't see them yourself on your monitor because the name tag and distance show up so most servers don't have it. And you don't need a system to think it over if you want to shoot someone or not, use your brain and restrain your triggerfinger. The game as it is it wouldn't stop PVPers from killing the others, they would just press Y.

Server bound characters are beeing worked at afaik.
