Malek (DayZ)

Welcome elgandarko! I know the Internet is a new and scary place, and you must be new to forums, but these topics never work, an example is the fact that the topic u just posted is a duplicate! It's a never ending cycle! The fact is that the mentality on ANY forums is "my idea is new and important, if I search and just post on an existing topic no one will take me seriously! I need my own topic! This idea is important enough!" It's sad but true.

Totally agree! Not against people who want to hunt other players if that is their playstyle. But dont at all support a mechanic that will encourage it. (IE: let you know how many murders you have or provide competition for most kills/ lowest humanity) just play how you want to play, no reason to brag either way.

I don't mind the change, i just wish rocket waited till the direct chat system worked more efficiently before changing the bandit skin. At least in the pervious version, you could get a ROUGH idea of whether a person was friendly or not based purely on visuals, now you have to communicate, trying to use a broken communication system. In the new version, the only way to have an idea if someone is friendly or to say that you Re friendly is to communicate, but the communication system we have is very difficult to use effectively.

It would be cool if later on if/when npc's get added if we had survivor and bandit bases or strongholds. Where members of the groups could safely trade. But it would definately have risks, of course the bandits would camp out a lot in front of of survivor base, but either way it would be an interesting mechanic.

Love this idea! We need an easy way to move a little faster, I have been playin this for a few weeks and have never seen a vehicle, let alone ridden in one. I think repairable bikes would be awesome, make the parts fewer and easier to find, maybe bike tires only thing needed to repair or something. I agree for the speed boost you need drawbacks, one for instance comes automatically, being easier to spot by bandits, since we would be a little higher up and moving faster. Some other drawbacks could be added by code, maybe making your thirst depleat faster when your peddling a bike, also making it easier for zombies to spot you as already mentioned.

1) Take your left middle finger 2) Press "W" 3) Keep your finger on "w" until the desired distance is reached If it accidently slips off, don't freak out! the workaround is simple, just go back and repeat steps 1-3

Yea it really added to the post apocalyptic feel. Desperation of people in authority, doctors givin up hope. Was really awesome. I didn't even think to check the bodies to see if they had anythin. I just wish I had frapsed it. But I did read that interview, it's awesome.

I posted on another thread about this, but someone said its impossible, so I thought I would open this up to see if anyone has seen something similar, I was walking through cherno by the hospital. It was starting to get dark, as I crept behind the hospital, I noticed two figures on top of the hospital, I dropped down waiting to hear gunshots till I realized they had jumped off. The two figures fell from the roof and hit the ground. I got close and saw that they were in lab coats. I assume this was a little scripted easter egg of sorts, has anyone else seen anything like this?

Isn't there already some random scripted events? I seem to remember seeing two doctors suicide jump off the roof of the Cherno hospital?

US3 is generally light till late at night for me, (pacific time) but its a beta patch server so it doesn't always have a ton of players if u like that.

I know theres a lot of talk about pvp problems as far as players complaining about being killed, and many bandits who no longer play DayZ to survive, but only to shoot other players. What if after your humanity drops below a certain point your spawn points change. You start spawning on the north edge of map instead of south, more concentrated in the wilderness area, taking you longer to get to cities with major people. This really accomplishes a few things: One being bandits spawning closer together, let them fight it out with each other, allowing newer players or players who enjoy more the survival aspect a chance in the more southern towns. Two it doesnt change PVP at all, players will still shoot and kill each other, bandits are still allowed to kill anyone they want, but it will make them think more. currently if bandits die, they respawn right in the thick of the spawn, and can just repeat what they were doing, if this was implimented, if a bandit dies he would have a long treck to get in contact with humanity again.

Interesting idea, and id love to be a part of it if you manage to organize something. However your request for a private server goes completely against what you mentioned in your topic. SURVIVAL walking dead style. If you are to actually survive there must be risks. So getting a big group of people to join together and try to gather suplies and store them in one defendable location is an awesome idea and could be a lot of fun. But it wouldnt be any fun if there was no risk involved. Of course there will be risks of other players so you have to make sure you have guards in the area the whole time. Imagine the shootouts over supplies!
