Goldstein (DayZ)

He offered a simple alternative to changing the game to a more casual-friendly game since adding morality and even the humanity meter is pretty unrealistic. You then stooped to an ad hominem attack since your nipple got twisted at his correct, albeit harsh alternative. There IS a way to make teamwork more viable, it's just that every suggestion has had glaring holes in it. The beauty of this being an alpha is that stuff can be changed, modified, added and removed. the clincher is though that many things are modelled, yet quite unrealistic. such as hunger/thirst/health/temperature. my observation is that the mental is absent, and could provide a huge element of interest to the game, and potentially solve our 'bandit' dilemma. & I re-assert he offered nothing useful. disagree with me, but at least provide something worthy of discussion other than "LOL omg OP is fucking tardy" otherwise replies will be similar. Because I'm a prick.

Xant, I'm curious gameplay wise- do you think Z's should be a bigger threat than other humans?

who needs beanz when you have beta blockers :D hence why I endorse the psychopath system, because those fuckers should be out hunting for seroquel like it was candy

do you even know who he is..? and what terrible things he could do, and/or is thinking about doing to you...? that's what true love is, my friend.

As a point of reference, if you're looking for a WORKABLE system of mental decay- Project Zomboid is a good game. Medication becomes as important as food eventually when your character has been stuck in a boarded up house for 3 months.

A crush? I'd hardly call waiting upon his next post with baited breath and a sense of total despair a crush. you're stupid. why would you even say that?

I like your initiative. though all your gear needs to be stashed in players inventories/tents. Otherwise people will use the same game mechanics against you. Do you skype/forum anywhere? this idea shows promise

the pilgrims didn't exactly head to the USA because it was all green pastures.. well.. other than the pastures the native americans laid out for you. but that's why we get along. yet hate eachother. similar beginnings :P I wonder how much support I'd have if I went international in my movement.. dayz is one of the few games where I can just go "hey fuck it, what's up everyone? want some steaks?" just need a few bro's to support me, and prove that some of the possibilities in this game don't have to be spoon fed to us by rocket but we can create for ourselves. Want a hospital? start a med team with some friends. Want a trade station? start a caravan with some friends? Want a barbecue, direct chat, katy perry, titty-fest and steaks party? go for it. Stary-Sobor Tranny side-show w/ mountain dew? go for it! strange as it is, this is the direction the game should aim for. because this is the sort of shit that would happen in the z-pocalypse. when the shooting gets boring, we have an entire facet of other human desires that need fulfilled.

btw, i think it's safe to assume everyone has PTSD after the WORLD HAS FUCKING ENDED AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE HAS TURNED INTO THE WALKING DEAD all of our characters should be off their rockers. mental stability should be some god-like pedestal we all aspire to.

LOL.. Ironically if you've played on an Aussie server, we're the least douchiest players around. Had some incredibly fun times (minus the crashes) There may be something to learn from that. Never had game experiences like my first fortnight in dayz. Being helped by dudes, then helping them out and wandering around in the wilderness for a few hours. Americans just shoot on sight. I thought it was just a stereotype but apparently not.. They're missing out on some awesome gameplay, and I feel sorry for the guys who get screwed over. I humbly invite yankee carebears to visit aus servers. we're nice. we'll insult the shit out of you, but I happen to run around giving people free steak and stuff. it's that sort of openness I like about dayz.

going back to psychopaths: their behaviour is generally impulsive, irrational, driven by a god-complex and leads to an early death by others. (sadly quite hard to emulate in virtual reality) If we want to touch on sociopaths, I doubt they'd be doing any shooting at all actually. They'd be the fuckers in some bunker getting everyone else to do their bidding.

I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but a lot of you really miss the point here. Your character is starving, and in the cold. You will happily go to lengths ingame to rectify this. But anything else that impedes your ability to wantonly murder complete strangers is considered a gamebreaking impediment :huh: killing somebody should be a big deal. it should be a threat to triggering zombies, it should be a threat to wasting ammo, a threat to alerting other bandits, a threat to your own characters mental state. if you think you're going to survive the zombiepocalypse by shagging jack, joe and zeke, then good luck to you! some of us embrace the false hope of possiblities of factions, alliances, trying to re-establishing order, trade, and all of that. that's what the future of the game is pegged on, not just DM. a bit of psychological mindfuckery. not just 'shit, that guy is gonna kill me. may aswell alt-f4'

silly thread. if a game is groundbreaking and has the ability to change peoples perspectives, then n00bz should be exposed to it to change their perceptions. else they'll be kept in the dark cloud of.. frigging mass effect. elitism is retarded, you'll learn this with time and as people call you a wanker for using a rediculous vocabulary for similar reasons.

You infinitely restore my faith in Dev's. I'm actually considering studying Game theory and programming after seeing what you have done. Either that or Politics, so I can finally assert my Commie Nazi agenda on this failed imprudent earth :P Have you ever been in a psych ward? hint: I have. They don't carry guns. They generally piss themselves a lot' date=' fuck anything they can, and OD a lot. They won't be fighting the zombiepocalypse. That's the thing. The perspective is skewed from being behind the PC screen. Still means you need beanz right? Still need ammo? Social interraction is a huge part of being human. And coincidentally a part of the game that is lacking, and hard to encourage at the moment. Is there really anything negative that could arise from getting people to work with eachother for a while? would form more friendships, TS clans, etc. Then standoffs, not beach camps. I have a few friends I tried to get into this that refused to play until they were with me on TS being coddled like babies. (I think that's lame, but let's face it, gamers aren't used to it) And the longevity of DayZ involves getting people to get into it, not drowning them in elitist crap because they have no friends they play only FPS' with.

if I had the time and effort to make the game my way, believe me I would MasacruAlex! [edit] I'm quite chuffed that mr rocket even read this given the sheer volume, that's all i'd like to be able to contribute. I hate having my own ideas hijacked, thus generally avoid this sort of thing. really what I think is both easiest and most reflective (god forbid.. realistic!) is the personal experience our character has. we get shot... we feel the cold and get sick... why shouldn't we get severely, mentally fucked up from murdering others? even trained killers in the military have PTSD. It acts both as a gameplay mechanic, and a real-life reflection of behaviour and health..

well I just farted around in the chat for half an hour asking WTF this shit is until someone linked this thread. before the board got hacked I had an elaborate thread about setting up a safe-zone near balota. (I set up a camp-site and give away cooked steak to bro's, I like hunting animals and meeting ppl. killing is boring, and the aussies are usually nicer players. so i give them steaks and meet new friends) but now I have pm's from russians and an audio file. subject is "Што гэта" but that doesn't seem to translate to anything russian? tried translation sites. http://kiwi6.com/file/5tjuhazokb is the file in the message sounds like morse beeping near the end and the rest a lot like the number stations mentioned here. though i'm pretty sure there is the "000 000" in this, which is a russian thing right? I read into it on wiki and apparently only the brits used a piano intro/outro thing. still i can't differentiate russian words for the numbers, and apparently trying to decode them is useless without a codebook. sort of wish someone was nice enough to drop a radio in my backpack while hosting my barbecues though :( this is less endearing.

NO A psychotic character should suffer the mental repercussions an IRL psycho does.

NO Is just bandit skin in another form

YES Mak is too quiet, and ammo is abundant. Need to force ppl to use LOUD weapons to antagonize Z's more.

I heard they're working on a Katy Perry DLC atm
