or they could add camo sticks to military loot spawns and skip an overcomplicated development process....you can wear a face-bandana anyways.

I'm pretty sure everybody agrees with added discussion about the weight of your character. Sadly, the issue has existed since DayZ was born and for some reason still isn't a priority. You'll get used to it, the way everybody is plays is... Glue your feet to the floor, don't walk off anything, take it slow inside the barn and don't even step off the Supermarket ledge.

I was thinking this today. The LEather backpack is quite bright right? Some Black + Green stripes would be uber

The improvised backpack. It's flat against you back, unlike the hunter backpack, even if you go prone, it gives off a BUMP on your back that people might see.

If anything, they need to be quieter, I think it's a shame that no matter what you do, you can't "creep" around. I think maybe a new animation or option for "creeping" is in order. It's not hard to walk without making a noise.

I frickin love these QS MONTAGE Mockery videos. It was a joke back then and I can't believe it takes this long for people to finally laugh directly in its face

Sometimes all you can do is set an example. Help players in-need/see the truth, show them that resources are abundant by giving what you have (you're most likely well fed at this point). Learn to trade you life for a carrot if needs-be. It's like being Jesus... love all people and forgive them of their sins. (It sounds like crap but it good way to make changes in peoples mentality without being a fascist dictator) You can't stop people from loggin in to the game and hunting players... but you can play your own game. I try to carry a piece of paper at all times, written on this, in my safe-box is, "I have 2 tins of beans, 1 was for me and 1 was for you.", "I have a 2nd tin-opener, you can have it"..."I made a nice warm fire here, I'm fishing for food, you can take over from here if it makes you happy". Things like this can help people realise the abundance of food and resources compared to the lack of human interaction. Scenario : It's night, you're perched on a rock, next to a fire and you're fishing. Shot fired (YOU ARE DEAD)... The person looting you, might think, "this is actually a nice place, I'll take over from here", and he/she fishes and feeds... the next thing is, "I probably didn't have to kill him/her to enjoy this if only I interacted, we could be sharing this (refer to the above notes as an example)". When you have all the gear you need to survive, there's not much fun in the game other than encountering players. If all players were friendly, there'd be no fun in encountering players. The issue is not the players, it's the game, once you're well fed, you have enough energy to play INFINITELY. You'll never go hungry or thirsty. There's too much food in the game, ON The other hand, you could go into servers with your own objective, be prepared to die and in your hand hold the note, "I found a 2nd tin-opener, you can have it" and the killer, with two tin-openers "might" see reason. Sometimes... I find the game so easy, I wish some punk would find me and kill me so I can respawn, cold and hungry with nothing to my name.

Yeah, I only recently found that site so you'll know more about it than I do. Do you have this, teeeeek? http://www.amd.com/en-gb/innovations/software-technologies/catalyst It gives you more control over your settings, here you control your fan speeds, graphic app settings and you can overclock etc You don't need a power-house graphic card, you can tune the settings for the game, balance qaulity and FPS for the optimal experience.

I hope not tbh. NPC bandits can be overpowered if you played some of the custom servers in the Dayz-mod, you'd know. Example. You could see a faint figure in the distance and you'd get out your binoculars... their heads would turn towards you and they'd start firing... every shot is almost perfect. Iron sights, vegetation, prone... it doesn't matter, it's like playing against players who use hacks. They know bullet drop, have aim-bot and don't see how we see so your camo might be worthless

You mean this hasn't been implemented? 2-3 times in the past 3 days, I've had hordes come after me. And after killing 5-6, 1-2 come out of nowhere..(I typed into direct, "Fuk off admin", just incase somebody was screwing with me lol). I run away and still the odd 1-2 chase me. I know it's not a "horde" .. but until melee has found its balance, i'm grateful it wasn't 10 at once. It's odd, cities and large town can be barren but those small towns in the centre of the map can be riddled with zombies,

I have an almost similar setup except i have AMD RADEON 6700.. Look for your AMD catalyst control centre if you can control your fan settings, check on them, mine put it to 40% on default which caused some heat. I put it to 50% then. turned on.."OpenGL triplebuffering" (should be easy to find if you click around) I also turned the shadow quality down in-game, each time the sun moves, the shadows move and it seems to be high maintenance. I did all this 3 days ago and have had perfect performance since.Give it a go and let me know

2-3 Months ago, I played DayZ to find it was almost unplayable, unstable, bugged out etc. Granted, it was after a messed up update that caused critical problems AND IT IS ALPHA. (oh this broken realm we are all trapped within) So, I pick it up and play again today, thinking that it should have a BASE VALUE of QUALITY. (Welcome to the DayZ adventure book) I proceed to a house, to find clothes I cannot pick up unless I empty the pockets of the related clothing I'm currently wearing. And I can't simply switch, i had to empty the pockets and find out how to wear trousers, all over again. (Turn to page 3 if you chose to ignore the trousers) There are still rogue zombie SFX popping up. Not to mention the lack of functional zombies or zombie numbers. The melee is still broken. I'm trying to hit a zombie that's got itself stuck under the barn house stair case. I try to kill it, but I'm standing there striking the stairs, wooden boxes and the floor. just when I think I have the hang of it, it still fails. I ignore the zombie and continue, confident that the zombie is so bugged that it won't follow.. I'm correct and I continue. (turn to page 73 if you survived the buggy barn) I walk outside to see a dead guy and I take his shirt, Half my body is invisible. This is literally the 1st 5-10 minutes of playing. I could foresee hours of mind numbing tinkering and bugs. (put the book down, if you could not find page 73 in a ~311~page book) I'm getting the sense that no real progress is being made and that I'll be logging into dayz every month or so to find the same problems, the same lack of progress and new problems and bugs to overcome. This is getting SUPER tedious and it's starting to become hopeless. This whole buggy game is becoming a novelty and i wouldn't be surprised if much of the Gaming community is laughing @ DayZ and not with it. (A post Destined for the Graveyard, at least i got this off my chest )

You went through the trouble of making an account to give me a +1? I appreciate that. I don't want to hate on the dev's but that alone is testament to what i'm talking about.

There's a mountainous expanse to the north east. There's swamps to the south. Deep forests scattered around. We don't even have forests? If you want to be hopefull, now that it's a standalone, there'll surely be DLC to expand upon what you really want that cannot be accomplished with chernarus. Maybe a DayZ DLC idea/request thread instead of this unproductive thread?

:rolleyes:

You could strap a grenade onto the inside of a lock box with duct tape, a knife and string All that would be visible is a square patch of duct tape on the outside, which is holding the string in place that's attached to the pin. (Which adds balance, so players can inspect it 1st.) But it overall, your idea has no real enjoyment, you won't know if the player blew up, you won't be able to enjoy the sight of it and by the time you get back the bodies, most of the time they'd have de-spawned (hopefully, nothing more immersion breaking than finding yourself dead in a field).

This exact idea came to me also but backpacks are not waterproof like you kinda mentioned. I also figured that you could hoist a backpack into a tree with rope and have a tree-top stash

Google urban dictionary. Looks like you might need it.

I think it's a shame, that gaming is part of a sub-culture. A culture, which has shaped people destinies... dare I say.. More-so than Movie culture, you watch a movie, it was nice wasn't it, Now carry on with your life. You play a game and it's more than mere pixels... We've all played the games, you don't consider it a movie... it IS you. You can't pour our heart and soul into a movie character. But with Gaming.... Now you know why, I Consider Dean Hall, a synthetic brother of George Romero. Both reshaped Gaming / Movies. Dean, please have a chat with George. Share what the zombie experience is, There should not be tension. You're not just a Modder, Dean, You're in the big leagues. No shame in asking for advice.

I was quite high

True, true..

It was years ago, back then, it was portrayed as a religious instigation to the masses, "When there's no room in heavan, the dead will walk the earth", (I feel anyway) The term ZOMBIE has been twisted to whatever means, to achieve a goal., In DayZ terms: It's simplifying the enemy, chemical or biological. Sorry for saying, but DAYZ will always be about ZOMBIES. I don't think that even Dean Hall himself can shake off the word zombie, which symbolises George Romero's vision. Which is why I think it would be cool if Dean and George had a chat about DayZ

ok, maybe you're all right.

I hear people here, And I slightly understand. Dean has come all this way to make a MOD into a game, with the vision that THIS is the zombie survival sim the HE wants it to be, coming from a person who's in the range of History, with a pure vision I HAVE supreme trust in him. (They're not zombie's, it's not a sim, but we all know it's both, just apolitical terms) Dean has full control over the project, I'd imagine. Nothing gets past him, that Would/W-not be implemented. It's not like the coders and programmers are running rings around him, tricking him into adding unicorns. Dean is the Bean and always will be.
