Coach (DayZ)

Hard to observe the rules of fair play at cheaters paradase =) But I'll try. Anyway i found it on a "usual server" where i play rarely. Mostly i play on a server with a private hive, good admins and low number of cheaters. And i feel happy with that =)

So I should not be afraid of using hacked items? Because I just killed a sniper at the top of the mountain. He's got some stuff i've never seen (like rangefinder). I was scared of taking all this, but i was too greedy and couldn't leave L113A3 LLR :P If i properly understood bans are for hacking, because it is saved in logs on the server. But not for the using hacked items. Am I right?

I agree, priority is low, but implementation is simple like "click - done".

To make it clear. This mod is awesome, but right now it is PvP-shooting-and-looting-game. If you like it, go and play Battlefield. We must make people search for food and water. That's how Day Z will become real survival game.

First, there are at least 10 supermarkets. Second, if you are a new player you will die with your first 2 cans of beans in a bagpack anyway, at Cherno, at Electro, at Balota and so on. Third, if you are half-experienced player, you'll get knife and matches in 40 minutes. So you'll have a choice, going for food in a store or hunting. Looks like the game is hard for you. Or shooting zombies is your goal? Remember, the main threat is not a stupid zombie, it's a human being.

First of all sorry for my bad english :angel: But I hope you, Rocket, will read this. Foreword. As far as I know "Day Z" is a "zombie apocalipse survival horror anti-game" :D And we love Day Z for it. So. This game has a great feature: the necessity of getting food and water for living, surviving. But... at the present time this feature doesn't bring fun into the game as it should do. Food and water are not a problem at all. Cans of beans, pasta, sardinas (what else) are everywhere. The map looks like an overturned truck with food. That's not apocalipse. That's MacDonalds. There are also stocks of cola/pepsi at every house. That kills "fill bottle" feature. Who needs bottles of water when there are always cans with soda. ========================== My suggestion: - remove coca-cola and pepsi; - spawn food only at supermarkets. ========================== Purpose: - make use of water bottles! This is a great feature. Why can't we use it as efficiently as possible? Without cola/pepsi people will overestimate the importance of water scources. They will plan their travel routes in advance, based on the locations of wells and lakes. Or will be carring more water for future use. Water is a very important rescource in post apocalipse world. - make more use of hunting animals; - make storages (supermarkets) much more important places on the map. This is really easy to implement, but this will add much much more fun into the game.

I agree. This would be nice.

I disagree with TS. Makarov is ok. Last time i died it took me 40 minutes to get fully equipped (exept NVG's).

Right now the crossbow is the worst weapon in dayz. Benefits: - low noise (bowstring) for PvP and zero noise for zombies - and... THIS IS CROSSSSSBOW!!! Limitations: - Hard to aim - Magazine size is a joke: 1 bolt - 1 slot - Very slow rate of fire - Effective range: 30 m Comments and suggestions: Effective range. It's real to hunt animals at 75 and even 100 meters with a crossbow. Make it at least 60. Very slow rate of fire. It's ok. Magazine size. The main drawback. So, 200 ammo for a machinegun is a 2 slot item. Nah, better take 2 bolts for your crossbow! 1 slot - 12 bolts, or implement quiver for crossbow bolts: 2 slots - 24 bolts. Hard to aim. Most modern crossbows are with an optics. But i don't care. ============================================ To sum up: - Make magazine size bigger: 1 slot - 12 bolts, or 2 slot - 24 bolts. - Make effective range at least 60 meters. ============================================ P.S. I thought it's possible to pull out the arrow from the dead body, when shot a zombie for the first time. But it wasn't. If we are talking about realism, this should be implemented too.

GIGABIT, I understand your opinion. I don't like this dark, but this is part of the game. I think it is for developers to decide what game should we play: casual or hardcore. And one more thing. If we remove dark part of the night, then flares and chemlight will become useless. Is this what you want? As for me using any source of light in the dark night is a part of in game atmosphere and its great.

Sorry for my english. My two cents about first post, nights that are DARK_AS_FCK and the opinion that those conditions are not realistic. _________________ I play big airsoft games for about 5 years. It's not a computer game, it's not paint-ball. You can google. And "big" means 400+ people. What can I say? When there is no moon, it's DARK_AS_FCK. It's REAL. Just like in DAY Z. While in the forest you can only see tree tops. You are completly lost without a light or NVG and can't move or move very slowly abd carefully. After 15 minutes in those conditions u'll have optical hallucinations. Once i was close to death, when I thought I explored the terrain well at daylight and decided to run 30-50 meters. I didn't make even 10 and felt into pit. So... don't change anything, don't screw nights up. No moon = no light = no vision = pain ;) P.S. When the moon is in the sky, everything is fine.

Was alive for about a week, fully equipped and got 700+ Zeds kills. I was going to change video options, when missclicked and pressed "Respawn" :D R.I.P Demoralization complete :D Please, make additional conformation for "Respawn". Smth like: "Are you sure? If you press *Yes* you will lose... blah, blah, blah,... To stay alive and to continue the game with your current character press *No*" Thanx!

Yesterday it was ok. Right now no one can join the game. I tryed almost every server. People are sitting in chat, looking at black screens, waiting for response. Some of them are happy and spawn in a "forest". I've lost several hours trying to join the game.

Now i'm dead. So there is no need to kill me now.
