Sarcasm aside? Good luck turning that off XD Once you pop you can't stop!

Just relaying info received from presentations from Rocket + Dev team.

I think this thread is perfect example of how I feel about the DayZ community. You know in Skyrim? When you walk into a town... and people shout: "Outsider!!!" "Lizard!" "Fag" Well, not "fag", but still, there's a serious cancer spreading about being a "hardcore player", and being a hardcore player gives you the right to spit and stomp on people with the same old sentences about softcore gaming, about asking for different things related easy gaming, which is only what they've known so far... So they're changing climate, no reason to make it harder >:( I'm a serious player myself, but I'm not going to spit on a fellow gamer or deter them from playing DAYZ, all i can do is enlighten them or educate them about the spine of gaming. Every Game is different, All i can do is enlighten them about the intention of the game, what it stands for and what the game is trying to portray. If the game is trying to portray misguided fan-boyism.... You win. Not directed towards 100% of you, just the defensive and heavy handed members, who come across as "Too harsh", "THIS IS DAYZ NOT COD!" I've had the same defensive attitude, but I'm trying to change. Life is not just Sword and Shield.

Arma 2, for the first time is like having somebody hold you hand, compared to DayZ. What OP should have done is encouraged his friend to play Arma 2... then DayZ mod or SA It's like being born again, you can't just dump somebody into the world and expect them to walk... You have nurture them, guide them and teach.. constant attention is needed. I've done it before for a friend. It's not so bad. Also... DayZ is for life, not just for Christmas. Don't encourage a friend who is unprepared to take the plunge into DayZ. It's like losing your Virginity. ONE time in my life where Skype/Teamspeak is ok. Guiding and helping a new player. Hold his/her hand and show them the ropes. ​Once they're competent. Sever the umbilical cord.

Nahh not as simple. I used to go into the wood with my dad as a kid. We'd take a combat knife and a bunch of string. We'd make bow's and arrows. SPEARS, throw them at tree's etc. Surprisingly effective but... they'd only be good for a few strikes. Everyrthing gets loose, wear and tear, so to say. Hear me out. Rope/Duct tape (some sort of stick, metal pole) Any Knife Creates Spear... Only good for 4 strikes. Repair with Duct tape.. or have to manually reset with rope. If that's not implemented then I have no idea why I'm posting in this forum

Dude, stop being super sarcastic. I have no idea what you're talking about any more.

Don't presume that you know what I want.

Maces can hurt YOU, just like a person using Nunchaku. Samurai Swords have a sharp edge and blunt edge. Because, the blunt edge is on one side and its what you use for blocking and the blade for slicing, not "hitting", it makes it almost impossible to use (if you smash wildly, you'll shatter the blade).... unless you dedicate yourself to the blade.... "live and die by the sword". Samurai. There's are reason they dedicate their lives to the blade. It's not gun where you point and shoot, it's not a club that you strike people with... it's dynamic weapon that will betray you if you're not worthy. (I'm going off topic here) I think a simple broad sword would quench our thirst.

Wait for Xp updates. Right now, when it comes to rifles, you point, shoot and hope for the best..... why are people so adamant on changing this? :P

Sheet of metal, wrapped in cloth with duct tape... sharpened.. I have yourself a machete. If people can do it in Africa, you can sure as hell do it in Russia.

I asked for permanent markers on maps that player put in.... which could indicate camp site, stashes etc, for long lasting players. So when You killed a player, you'd get their map... a map with markers. All the things you listed... you could mark on the map yourself. Which would indicate where you have been, so players could trace your steps and look for your stashed once they kill you. People didn't like the idea. Yes, TL:DR only because people don't seem to care about maps or its features when they have web browser maps. People want objectives... well, a map with marked locations.... can't get a better bone than that!

A zombie trying live a life. Creep into a house at night or day to find a zombie, poking around at a cooker, a cupboard or a TV.

It's not such a bad idea. The Country I was born in had a castle, which was renovated into a museum. It stores swords, maces and armours. How many Castles are in Chernarus? Could there be a museum? Would be cool, don't ya think?

I think if Rocket abandoned the ~ Hero / Survivor / Bandit AND humanity setup ~, he did it for a good reason.. Why he'd go back on his tracks and implement a similar sanity setup is truly beyond me. I hope moderators bury all related topics (after reading, just in case some good might come from them). Otherwise, title your sanity topics as, "Rocket, you're wrong, make the game the way I want it to be"... which is what's happening.

You've just been revived with epinephrine, you aim your gun and.... (what do you think should happen?) You've broken a leg (/or arm for later updates) , you've administered Morphine, you aim your gun and... (what do you think should happen?) You've just taken some painkillers.. " " . (what do you think should happen?) You're sick.. " " . (what do you think should happen?) I could go on a little more, with more detail on related scenarios when aiming a gun. I might be thinking too deep but it seems that the grouping of bullets is configurable depending on your player status so why not use this to create more depth?

Edit: oh you edited the quote, hehe. I see your points, it's just a game and medical gear is there to do its job.

There is the flesh effect. Arma 2 gunshots hit dead-centre every time as if they were fired from a gun welded into place onto a steel girder, I always thought this was inaccurate and I'm kinda glad DayZ has improved this. A person holding a gun. A person who has flesh, bones and all that sinew. The recoil of the weapon when standin, crouching and prone... is ALWAYS different. Bearing in mind it's alpha and soon, there might be a skill system in place that will improve shot grouping. The current system feels fixed on Zero Xp for marksmanship.

There's already a sanity system in place. It's human psychology, there's no game design in the world that can simulate this.

get some duct tape, tape your mouse mat to your chest or stomach area... worth a try :P Have some priorities dude. If you strain yourself during the healing process, it could impact the wound. DayZ is a good good game but I'm sure Rocket would hate to see you in pain just to play it.

You'll never take my apple orchard!

I thought I'd find fresh apples scattered around forest areas but nope, so far. There are cultivated tree's on the map if you haven noticed. Look around South Berazino. Territory wars over apples would be hilarious. All hail the apple KING! OP Is right tho. Perhaps in desperation, for "Fresh, healthy Food options" the dev team overlooked realism.

Look on the bright side, the more feedback you give. The better your feedback is, bug reports etc... the quicker progress will be. Theoretically

Who'd like to see this? Why not? DayZ is the Big Leagues now! Other games have celebrities, right? There are celebrities out there who might like Zombie stuff or even DayZ ^_^ that would do it for a nickel (EDIT: maybe not a nickel, but it's not entirely uncommon) In the intro? There could be an intro, why not? With a fallout style "War never changes blahblahblah" Theme, relating to DayZ. A short intro by Morgan Freeman, detailing how Chernarus gave birth and fell to its own creation of...the virus. Story line aspects? If we could find recording of scientists, soldiers, civilians each and every one that's unique, adding atmosphere... would be cool to hear, Ving Rhames, Woody Harrelson etc Which Celebrities and why?

Raunchy. If she'd have some rough whisky, right before recording... that'd be great.

There are Russian celebs out there, even ones that can mimic the accent.
