dont be naive. _________________________________ I'd have to say Dead island is interesting but their anti-gun mechanics and thought process made me decide NOT to buy the game. Where as Day Z is gun-tastic but no melee which is hard to believe, I'm sure someone is working on that as I type this now.

Ya been there done that and it can be done. The game mechanic is not there to accomodate this. You take the rifle off your shoulder, simple yet effective. Secondly the crouched position is shit because it really f's up your ability to turn even with a pistol. Arama and operation flash point act like the player character is a vehicle more than a person I always found the player character mechanics of this game slow and clunky as compaired with other FPS games. It's almost annoying, okay it is annoying. To bad the OP did not have the time and date of his deal it could be looked at in the server logs and possibly tracked. Hence a few days off for the offender for glitching / clipping.

Plus Sometimes it time and some times you trigger the spawn. In addition to the above, move from the area roughly 100 to 150 meters and return. You will have to deal with zombies again ( possibly ) Some servers use a faster rate of time so the loot will spawn faster.

Nice to see the trolls getting out from their bridge today! Yes the game has a steep learning curve and playing at night does not help. Connecting to a server is shit at the moment, yes I said shit total shit really compaired with other games don't argue you know I'm right. The thing is there is no way to tell if the server is light or dark. Secondly the servers have issues ( Old versions, old arma updates, ect) so you might not connect at all. Or in some cases get randomly kicked off because they do not want dirty pub players around. I might spend 10 to 30 minutes just looking for a decent server.

The back pack system sucks, not even close to being realistic. You ever notice the magazine in your weapon still takes up space in your pack? Dumb. You would not want to put a rifle in your back pack it should be slung. Or strapped to the outside of the pack. Like it is now. However most rifles would never fit in a pack. Tactical packs would have the space for one rifle or shot gun to be strapped to it. Holster, now thats fucking novel, why the fuck don't we have holsters? Tactical leg holster, on tactical vest holster, for the Rambo types two leg holsters. Pistols take up two spaces in a pack at the most. Tactical vests? Molle gear pouches adds to tactical vest to carry more items, ammo pouches, shot gun shells, grenade pouches, pistol magazine pouches and medical pouches so bandages stop taking up fucking pistol magazine slots.

I still think you should get a bloody clothing skin after you loot the body after all how blood sprays in this game you have no choice. The gear and stuff would have blood on them.

I think the key parts of good team play is being organized. While in game chat is frowned upon ( causes lagg or everyone shouts that) the use of Ventrillo or teamspeak is pretty common for friends or trusted players. But in this game you can find cool people to play with so you NEED voice communication in game. VC needs to be refined so the oppertunity for uncommon players to communicate is easy. Direct seems to work sometimes but only if said player has voice turned on. There needs to be an option to select team members in the player screen. This way if you meet other players in game you can team them which will allow in game text, voice and a ID system. Teams are never displayed to the rest of the server this way no one knows if or how many you have in your team. Each player has to accept the invite or they cannot join. ID system - Since player can look exactly alike each other it makes it hard to not shoot you own team when things get spooky. A friendly ID system would be nice: Ideas? same type and color hat, head band or wrap, Shemaghs ( colored ), apply a team only visable icon on the player back and or front, matching gloves, boots hats ect... Uniform purchase - Like in Arma 2 you can buy items. So in game you can have team members buy the same uniform. Gun skin colors or something interesting. once that color, skin, symbol or design is purchased no other team can use it. Map coordination / interactive map- When all players have a map its possible for players to coordinate each others maps to arrive and or locate each other on the map. This is in conjunction with a GPS or member can mark the route or objective on the map. Distance ID - A reflective patch or symbol or shape can ID team mate from the sky or at distance like the military use of cat eyes or special patches. Enemy ID and locator - Like operation Flash point and ARMA players can use a automated voice target locator that only the team hears ( wisper ). Such as, Unknown player 12 o'clock 200 meters. Or, seven zombies spotted in area at 11 to 3 o'clock position at 145 meters. Team leader overlay - gives the ability of the team leader to designate locations with range to other teammates in coordination to take out the objective. Able to LASER desginate structures or targets. Team play bonuses modifyer - When a team enters an area, bonus supplies or uniques may spawn adds an incentive for players to work together. This can be as simple as a percentage bump on items or amounts. Removal of zombies on objective - When a team engages and kills X amount of zombies in an area the percentage chance for rare items or food items become more common. The zombie spawns will have to be limited and not reproduces as fast thus acting as a temporay secured area. NPC instance - Players can find NPC instance where the players defend NPCs from zombies bonus items are given. Thise intances can include farms, downed helicopters with a surviving crew member, military road blocks, gas station, lost hunter, or anthing else you can think up. The players defend the NPC and after the zombies are all killed inthe instance area the items spawn. After the instance the NPCs leave and the instance moves to another random location. This way it cannot be exploited over and over again.

Heck I dont wanna play on a server with 50 people it gets crowded and all shooty shooty. With 100 or 200 it would be insane I also do not think there will be enough loot to keep everyone happy hence alot of player kills making it anothe BF3 / COD / MOH

Each play has a unique ID in which you can be banned by. Using that ID could pin a record to it "possibly". Hence your good or bad game play follows you.

Ya this is a horrible idea. I can see a reduction in sniper rifles and scilenced weapons but not all military weapons. However optics on most weapons are pretty common these days while not sniper rifles it's rather typical.

No not at all, I do not except your socalistic anti caffine and sugar agenda post. Soda has calories and water does not. Soda also contains water and you could survive on soda if you had too.

Heres some random ideas or improvements minor and major. Soda - Has calories and will help you restore health. Blood increases over time - IRL you replace the blood in your system as long as you are not starving to death. ** 1000 points equal one pint. One pint replaced in one hour or 1000 points. ** Reduce bleed out time - It takes roughly three minutes to bleed out IRL. While one zombie strike seems to make you bleed like a Hemophiac. Reduce no water blood loss the point loss is way too high. Refine and reduce Climb a ladder animation - Reduce time it take to mount and dismount ladder. Pull pistol/ weapon - For some reason it takes allot of time to pull your pistol. Ironically you could eat three cans of beans in the time it takes to pull a gun. WTF are you doing when you pull your gun picking flowers? Throw animation / mechanic - Somehow If I select throw after I do this my gun comes back u but when I go to shoot it will attempt to throw another item. This is confusing because it shows the gun on the screen thus I think the gun is ready to shoot. Eating animation - Why do you put you face in the ground when you eat? *** Why the FUCK is the eating sounds so annoying? Since when are beans crunchy? *** Rocket you F'n Sadist Random stupid deaths - Too many odd fall deaths do to usual things. Steped over door step and died, watched a buddy die while crawling on ground, stepped off last two steps in barn and broke leg, dies on slope fron three foot fall. Super Zombies - for some reason there are the odd super zombie they one hit kill you, break bones with one hit. Zombie spawn - This game needs a much more realist zombie spwn system No more insta less than one minute spawns. Refine zombie logic - Zombies are too smart and too persistant and insanley fast defying logic and garvity. I like the fact they will go to look for unusual noise but defying logic when it comes to running and other animations like hitting through walls, running through objects. Zombies cannot open doors. Come on man you ever watch a zombie flick? Total revamp of battle eye for hackers and locking down exploits - This is ruining the game, hackers, exploiters, disconnectors and what not is really getting old. Server manipulation - Some server admins are manipulating their servers with outdated updates to keep the public off the server. I have also seen mutilple resets and time manipulation.

that would be great for servers that do not reset time or reset every few hours. So in a stable presistant game world that would be a great set of ideas. I;d like to add placing a bandits head on a stake!

Great idea!

Also experianced a delayed action sound when eating.

Date/Time: June 11th 2012, Approximatley 6:15pm What happened: Entering a lootable structure in Bor I could not walk into the door way so I hit the "V" key and as I stepped up I broke a bone, lost all my blood and instantly died. Where you were: Bor What you were doing: Entering lootable structure *Current installed version: 1.7 *Server(s) you were on: EU25 *Your system specs: *Timeline of events before/after error: Crept down hill rounded the house to aviod a zombie and moved to enter the structure as posted above

Ever notice most of the servers are different? - Different version of the game - Different version of Arma 2 BETA versions - Locked severs - Severs with no zombies and no loot - Servers with no zombies and some loot - Severs with text, say version 1.7 but use 1.6 you don't know until you log in. - Servers that you can never connect to. - Severs you load into and get kicked. It seems the DayZ staff is picky about who they allow to run the game but there is no consistency when you connect. It's a crap shoot and takes allot of time mucking about to find a decent server. Should this be sorted out so everyone can get online faster and more efficiently.

Your dreams of a brokeback mountian experiance should be posted on craigs list personals, but not in this game.

Gouki has the right pic and you find them mostly along open fields "near" town just in the wood line ( where the woods start ) generally in a cluster of trees of near them. Balota Military base also has four of them, located on each corner. Usually teo spwns per tower with a mixed bag of results but you can find military weapons in them.

People thinking admins do not have the power to control their server, hack or be dicks is kind of silly.

I must be looking in all the wrong place for guns. I keep seeing these videos of people with ultra rare loot drops, DMR's, NVGs, and heres two dudes holding two really rare drops. Me thinks something is afoot.

LOL heres why: Spend 3 to 15 minutes connecting 1. Spawn and get mobbed by zombies die in ten minutes - Spend another 2 to 5 minutes connecting 2. Spawn live 15 minutes get mobbed by zombies die - Spend 3 minutes connecting 3. Spawn get spawn killed by player camping the spawn sites - Spend 5 minutes connecting 4. Play for 30 minutes - Sever looses session 5. Log in on another sever it's black as a nats ass, you can see shit cause its dark. - Log off find another day light server 20 minutes wasted 6. Log in play for 20 minutes find some interesting stuff, player kills you, you never seen him. - Spend 3 more minutes connecting again if you did not leave the server. 7. Start in an unknown location run for 15 minutes find a town get trapped by zombies shoot several but they respawn in less than a minute kill some more, run out of ammo and die. - Fuck this server! spend 15 more minutes finding another one that works. 8. Play for 45 minutes find a player willing to work with you and start finding cool stuff, BANG! he shoots you in the back of the head and takes your shit. - Rage quit. - Come back an hour later and maybe a couple of beers, spend 30 minutes finding a server, new patch out and you have to download that. 5 minutes to 20 minutes files updated, 10 minutes of server surfing again. Log in and its pitch black and raining. Log off and look for another server 15 more minutes. 9. Your in! run to an new town get a compass map and hunting knife and a new Lee Enfield rifle fire it once and you get mobbed by zombies and die. - Log back into same server 3 to 5 minutes wasted. 10. Start off again finding loot in ______ city and fight of a few zombie attacks, find some beans and in the distance you see a hospital, explore the hospital desperate for meds. A player shoot you dead. - WTF join the server once again out for blood!!!!!! 11. End up on the opposite side of the map, so much for revenge, loot and scoot good game for the night. - Try to log in and the servers are not working !! wtf oh you need a patch for Arma 2 and DayZ 10 -15 minutes patching. Dig through the server list to find only some have the right updates. 20 more minutes of server surfing to find one that works, its night, fuck it play anyway. 12. Night play run around get lost in the woods, this is no fun, run, run, run, out of food and water because you have to eat every 30 minutes of hour for some reason. find a town crawling with zombies but you have to eat so you sneak and crawl for ever find one fucking house with a can of beans. Find a pond so you get water. Boring night log off - Dont play for a day or two, 15 minute log in. 13. Your food and water is blinking red and you are loosing blodd points at a insane amount. You ate and drank before you logged of WTF! you run for the town you logged off near you find food and water again but loose 3000 blood in the process. You hear about a Town called Stary Sobor has some good stuff you head for it. An hour of trying to find it and running around. You spend 35 minutes finding the base evading zombies and start into the base Bang bang bang your dead again. - So much for being nice, so much for all that work to get to this place, Zombies may as well be your friends. Log back in it;s time to kill. 14. 20 minutes after you log in you get a few items out of a barn A winchester and some food as you are about to leave a Survivor wanders in Bang he's dead and it does not bother you, a few zombies run in and you kill them also. You spend an hour or so learning where your at and gettinga few odds and ends. - Log on and again patches to download the servers are mixed up and its hard to find one 26 minutes wasted. 15. You log into some strange woods and you cannot move BANG your dead - Debug forest hack FUUUCCCCKKKK! - You post it up on the forums, get back into game 20 minutes go by looking for a server. 16. You log in again, start all over again, you run around for 2 hours and get your kit and head towards Rog castle for some exploring as you enter the gate you see a dead zombie or two and as you walk up to the tower entrance theres three players bang, bang, bang, bang, your dead again. - Well this is starting to get old. You take a day off from the game. 17. You log back in more ptaches and shit oh thats cool they took the bandit skins away not like that mattered much since everyone just shoots on site. Again you run ,sneak gear up and head up north on the way up some dude drive past you and they must have seen you, they stop and open fire with full auto military weapons, your dead again ...... - Spend 10 minutes log in 18. Okay back in game again the pain of getting your shit set and two hours in you die, no shots fired but its a ton of people on the server get DC'd someone hacked the sever and killed everyone. This is pretty much what some people go through, this is why they quit ... after awhile its not fun anymore, after awhile you find that there is no point to the game, after awhile you hate everyone and cannot trust anyone. The cherry on top is the fucking hacks people use. *** Thats not my personal experiance but you get the jist.
