Baffling to me why they would change this from ARMA 2...

I would agree with a previous poster - the types of land vehicles are not of primary importance as long as they are relevant to the context of the Chernarus setting. Fully armed military aircraft are something I think the SA could do without. The idea of cobbling together a vehicle from existing parts on rusting junkers is intriguing but will really depend on implementation. For now a simple bicycle would be a lot of fun. Imagine trolling fast through Electro with a massive zom train behind you and circling the idiot trying to kill you with a pistol.... much hilarity to be had with bikes.

Damn tranny hookers in Bangkok.

This guy has never been outside much less tried to hunt a whitetail buck. C'mon DayZ IRL...... Would cull the gene pool in a long overdue kind of way.

Yessir - growing potatoes is basically that easy. One of the easiest things to farm IMO. They are a fairly robust plant that can take a lot of abuse and survive fairly extreme temperatures. I would love to have me a venison and potato stew in-game. On topic - I would like to see the deer stands actually be useful as elevated hides for hunting.

This is exactly what occurs with persistent storage - the "death" of permadeath. Once tents are implemented my group will have base camps set up near all popular spawn points to quickly re-gear in the event of a losing firefight scenario. As long as this is within the rules of the game it will be the meta.

Grats OP - you have crossed the line. Once you get bored with the eternal mindless firefights you begin to look for more from the game. Live and let live can result in some really fun gameplay. KOS is just a narrow hallway ending in the same result time, after time, after time. It gets old fast.

I just encouraged a friend (who was a long time mod player) to put off his purchase as the alpha is still just too much of a mess to advertise IMO. I wouldn't recommend it right now - especially to a new player.

Have some beans OP. Hunting does need to be an art form as it is in real life. As it stood in the mod it was embarrassingly easy. The harder the better IMO for most of the survival elements. I personally would like to see a fully developed agrarian system implemented from seed to final harvest. Finding random patches of potatoes in the North would be sweet and a dead give away for a nearby campsite.

As far as the final product is concerned I totally agree OP. Nothing made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up in the mod like seeing a pile of fresh players corpses and hearing the obnoxious flies buzzing about. The problem with disallowing you to re-loot your own corpse is that it is still possible - as you pointed out - to do it with friends so that issue is still to be solved IMO. As far as I'm concerned perma-death will be gimped once persistent storage is added anyway so I have no issues with allowing anyone to loot dead bodies for an extended period of time. Some of the most fun firefights I have ever been in involved repeatedly returning to the scene of an ongoing shootout and fighting guys over the remains of my last character. Just my 2 cents.

For all the seeming effort here, why not just persevere with the mouse and keyboard? As already noted once you learn you will never go back to the training wheel setup that is a controller. It is a rough transition but great once proficient.

OP resembles a root vegetable. I just keep imagining Beavis shaking and muttering "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE.... "

They are readily available if you know where to look. I won't ruin the experience by telling you. Enjoy the journey and resist the temptation to take shortcuts.

Not only a pistol but a LRS outfitted Mosin with at least 500 rounds of ammo, an M-4 RedDot, big ass backpack full of all the accessories.....................

Consoles? Filthy vermin.

I love the idea of actually forcing voice comms only in-game. However I fear it is impractical. My group used TS all the time and it did confer a huge tactical advantage in firefights as well as navigation.

Exactly. Server hopping will occur no matter what the penalties. Any gaming community will maximize the meta-game. The only real way to stop it is to have characters server bound which defeats the whole idea of a central hive. Liking the quadrant idea but I still see traditional loot cycling working as you could run a loop from Balota to Zeleno and NWAF then hop, repeat ad nauseum. In a closed circuit of say 4-6 chosen servers you could have an infinite loop of re-spawning loot to choose from. Meh. Let's just see where Deano takes us shall we?

So much this^^^^^ Apparently putting the donkey in front of the cart is now considered proper form.

No need to be a smartass. Time will tell. The entire history of the mod says you are dead wrong. There was absolutely no constraints on these things - they could have disabled a lot of the military weapons.... they didn't. They could have not had military helicopters..... they did. They could have made vehicles and parts much scarcer - they did not. They could have regulated spawns to a much greater extent.... they didn't. They could have implemented a lot of care bear features.... they didn't. Seeing a pattern here jackass?

Craftable wind sock? Sticks and rags FTW.

lol You think it's bad now? Wait until the KOSers have vehicles and base camps for backup armaments. If you happen to lose your firefight and the group feels like griefing they will follow you to the coast and repeatedly rape you. How about armed helis when implemented? Sweep the coast and kill all new spawns. Rinse and repeat. There are way more important issues to resolve here than the availability of weapons on all servers. Just stop weeping and re-gear ffs.

Laughed pretty hard at this. Saw a guy in line at the supermarket the other day with a back pack on....... hmmmmmm.... that's a really nice backpack you have there...... <cocks hammer>

Agree with every thing but AI. Totally ruins the player generated experience. If you played the mod and played on any AI servers you know what I mean. Seems scripted and fake. Random generated events make a huge difference as long as there is no known roadmap published immediately by some anal nerd... oh wait... the internet... right.

Thank you - I couldn't remember the terminology. But yeah they all sucked in one way or another. Except the dancing one, I actually had to laugh as it so totally broke immersion. I had a really tense firefight going with a guy one time in Electro (I was a new spawn with shotty) and just as I had backdoored him in the corner café, BAM we both started dancing up a storm. We both just started laughing and talking in Direct and went our separate ways after as neither of us had anything worth fighting over.

lol
