Paladyn

I`m not sure, if IQ can go below 0... ;P I know my English is weak, but at least try to write some constructive opinion about my idea. Internet is already full of useless junk...

Paladyn is`t english word :P Btw. despite my poor english, do you have any constructive opinion?

Short version for whose who don`t like to read a lot: Add new parameter to animal/human object - attractiveness. This would be another addition to decide if zombie attack or not. If you are not attractive (covered with zombie guts), zombie won`t attack untill it smells you, but it will gladly jump on poor rabbit meat You brought. Longer version: I don`t know how many of you guys watch "The walking dead", but for whose who watch. In last episode there was guy, who was using animals to attract zombies (rats, rabbits in cages). This could be quite fun feature in Day Z Standalone - catch a rabbit into cage (made with new great crafting system), then use it to attract zombies in city - which allow to loot some places which are overrun. How I see this working. I`m not sure about how Arma models are build, but I would add "attractive" variable to object (women model always get 100%!). When zombie see some actor (animals/people are the same object?)will check actor`s attractiveness. If there are two models in same distance it will choose more attractive. I would add some function to count attractiveness with distance, sight, smell values. This could be quite fun feature - some other objects could have +/- addons to attractiveness - for example red shirt give +10 attractiveness and red shirt covered in zombie guts -10. This makes a lot more possibilities to avoid enemy (of course it won`t affect PvP). Adding some items which effect attractiveness could be quite good addition to Standalone (dezodorants, face/body paints, smell protectors?...). Btw. I was always wondering why zombies don`t eat animals. I would be funny to see 100 zombies running after small rabbit

First, make the game as long as you feel it needs. I would prefer to play very late alpha then unready one. My money is stored in "Only for Day Z standalone" shelf till end of year ;) Second, I like devblogs like this. Last Alien game had great dev videos, but game was crap. It can be otherwise with Day Z. Short IDEA that came to my head after watching this devblog (footprints feature). I don`t know how many of you guys watch "The walking dead", but for whose who watch. In last episode there was guy, who was using animals to attract zombies (rats, rabbits in cages). This could be quite fun feature in Day Z - catch a rabbit into cage (made with new great crafting system), then use it to attract zombies in city - which allow to loot some places which are overrun. How I see this working. I`m not sure about how Arma models are build, but I would add "attractive" var to object (women model always get 100%!). When zombie see some actor (animals/people are the same object?) and check it`s attractiveness. If there are two models in same distance he (it?) will choose more attractive. I would add some function to count attractiveness with distance, sight, smell values. This could be quite fun feature - some other objects could have +/- addons to attractiveness - for example red shirt give +10 attractiveness and red shirt covered in zombie meat -5. This makes a lot more possibilities in avoiding enemy (of course it won`t affect PvP). What do You Rocket think about his? Will such feature kill server CPUs? Btw. I was always wondering why zombies don`t eat animals. I would be funny to see 100 zombies running after small rabbit ;)

I didn`t thought someone would find this idea after such long time. I`m glad you like it and I hope Rocket will notice it also. It would also be great thing for all people with shitty voice ;)

This patch is great! And preventing Alt + F4 is one of best thing here, but for one of people who have issues with Internet this means end of playing Day Z for me. I hope in standalone there will be logout time not sudden death (this at least gives a chance, not to be killed when Internet connection is down). Still good job guys!

It really looks amazing! I`ve just imagined Seattle map (from first video) remade for Day Z (with all buildings accessible)! This would be more then amazing! O.O

Change Arma II squad commands to voice commands. It can make game easier to all people who don`t have mic (or just don`t use it very often). F1 -> shout F2 -> speak F3 -> whisper 1. Friendly 2. Cease Fire 3. Drop your weapon 4. Surrender 5. Watch out! There is a zombie! 6. Leave it! This is my loot! 7. Please! Don`t kill me. 8. You damn hacker! Etc. It could also look this way: 1. Move 1.1. Forward 1.2. ... I personally would choose Rocket to record his own voice, but some community "voices" would be nice also :) Please, don`t write posts without arguments for/against this idea. Discussion is now open!

To everyone with graphics problems after hotfix: Have you tried to update your graphics drivers as well?

Hi guys! I`m playing Day Z since about 4-6 weeks (I know it`s not long). First I was playing without any help then after 4 weeks i`ve tried playing with looting map from DayzDB. I feel like this two are different games. First one is post apocalyptic surviving game with great alone/fear experience and many surprises along the way and second one feels more like FPS with a bit of equipment greeding (you always know where to go by items you can find there). Also second way of playing makes a lot easier to KOS (because it feels like FPS). I think that playing with DB destroyed most of this mod atmosphere. I wonder how you guys feel about this.

I hope it`s not bad, but i`m refreshing discussion for people from different time zones :)

So this makes trading day -> good clans trading meeting. Also sounds good.

I didn't thought about hackers... But should we be scared of them? Ban hammer is working quite good here.

Nobody is forced to come. Still more people probably would mean more fun. If "good" clans would join us as security on at least few servers this will end up as success.

Great! Quick reaction is what i like best.
