I know chernarus isn't america... but a gun shop in every town would be nice. Place to grab shotguns and decent pistols (obviously requiring larger variety than what we currently have) aren't you guys tired of running into a barn to find 6 axes, or a double shotty with 2 maybe 4 rounds?

Standalone: Big cities need to become harder. (endgame)
Charb replied to MasterZ's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
It isn't the point that I need to read what you said, but the fact you need to understand your own words and suggestions. You said you want 4x as many zombies, that is a cause... what is the effect? I used to love dying because it was a fresh start and a new chance to survive within cherno or electro, wouldn't dare go to those towns wearing NVG or a ghillie. Even with tin cans and empty whiskey bottles trying to get around those cities with just an axe is quite challenging. you want to add 4x as many zombies, awesome, great. I'm all for it. However... it isn't a feasible thing to **ONLY** melee your way in, most people currently just LOS and trap zombies inside buildings which when fixed will make city runs less of a joke. Faster zombies indoors, Faster attack animations, I really doubt melee is the way to go... Have you played standalone? Your making a position on something you can't even verify or have played and mocking me without any knowledge of it yourself. more things than just bullets? why would i bother going to a big town when I can get all those items you listed elsewhere? Especially... as a new player. You mention finding a military grade weapon, yea thats great but what about the bullets for it? Whats the point of carrying around a gun you can't find ammo for? Or as i mentioned intially... have a negative balance for consumption. So when I question the value of going to a town for loot with 4x as many zombies i think its a valid question. Picking a weapon should be a hard thought out choice on whether or not you will be able to effectively use a weapon and be able to replenish the munitions for it. This doesn't dismiss the fact that you actually NEED to have the ability to not be ammo deprived for lesser weapons. I went to the airfield with a winchester and 45 rounds, killed 200+ zombies by emptying all my ammo and switching to different weapons on the ground I found there: AKM, M14, Ak-Kobra. I managed to leave with 10 rounds for the kobra in my clip. THAT is how the game should be played. So when you mention adding 4x as many zombies in a city I have a hard time seeing that. Perhaps when you *CAN* enter every single building it may be something that is a possibility. I think we all remember the dangers of using a "dinnerbell". talking about stand-alone? awesomesauce, should talk about that in the dayzgame forums oh wait... don't exist. Also, is there a list of new items coming out? such as melee weapons? or just bits and pieces of various posts and comments from rocket? Other than bullets what else are you looking for? Items that don't exist and haven't been confirmed? My first post was merely a question. I thought the point of the forums was for comments and suggestions to help progress the state of the mod. which is funny because isn't that what your post is about? Stand alone isn't out so none of us have any idea what the game will be like so don't tell me to just melee everything it'll be cool bro. -

What say you to the logistics of firing 120 shots to kill 80 zombies? just to get into town, and being able to find enough ammo to fight your way out? its nice we finally got rid of the infinite ammo bug, but disappointing we don't have enough players to really focus on the practical scenario of requiring x bullets to kill y zombies to loot z ammo. -
Would you Abort if in Danger of death?
Charb replied to abnormalweeny's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Today my friend and I were riding on our motorbike, Some guy started firing at us and we had no idea where from, sadly we were heading straight towards him. When I did finally manage to veer away from him and have my back towards him my poor buddy alas... became a meat shield :) He died and I ran off into the brush. I could have logged out, but didn't, got flanked and died. I lost the ghillie suit I was wearing, 3 more in my bags, 3 NVG, 2 rangefinders, 1 antibiotics, my M249 and 800 rounds, of course a coyote backpack, basically all the tools and some other things eluding me at this time. worst of all... my 750 zombie kills and 330 headshots :( my best average yet !!! On page 1 when I said you should have shot your friend I meant it because you need to be conditioned to this game, once you become more steadfast you can really enjoy the danger in it :) -
Built a new system but old character still loads on old system (seperate steam accounts)

Rocket: Please make some things clear to newcomers.
Charb replied to Yatagan's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
if you read about DAYZ from ***ANY*** gaming review site, all that information would be in the same post. if you came here yourself, well... the information isnt hidden by any means, if you werent part of this "instant gratification" society you would read everything including that hard to read black text. if you had a friend tell you about the game, kill them ingame. 4 months or so until standalone, thats what 7.50 a month unless you were smart and got it for $20 if you shopped around, well worth the money man... (EDIT or is your argument the fact you bought a fully functioning game first, game to the mod site, and then got all hissy because a released game mentioned nothing about a seperate mod?) -
feel free to play Left for dead...

Admin abuse US1320, restarting the server after vehicle is stolen
Charb replied to holycheeseboy's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I think people need to realize everyone is so upset with this issue as a whole and not specificially with the individual. 50% of the servers I have played on had admins who rolled the server back every 5 minutes, and the other servers were total crap buggy pieces of garbage that just deleted tents placed 10 seconds ago or didnt update properly. you find a car, steal it, server shuts down. you find a tent, loot it, server shuts down. you kill a player from that clan, server shuts down. admin abuse is rampant, how dare anyone here try to defend someone in a situation like this. how dare anyone claim the community has no right to voice its opinion. this will be the downfall of the game when it is released. I don't understand how the Dev team expects this to be a working model as a "polished" stand alone game. If server admins are so concerned with their worthless digital items in a FN alpha mod of a game, how much MORE will they cheat to protect their worthless digital items in a WORKING standalone? This current system will fail and at this point it pains me to say the standalone game will be nothing more than a money grab. I'm still going to buy it, hell I've purchased combined operations for friends to get them to play this, i'm just afraid we will encounter the exact same bullshit we do now in alpha. -
No one needs a map other than new players and veteran players prefer to not use the auto-map-gps feature on "Regular" servers. These items are only going to take up the place as most worthless item to find other than empty soda can or empty tin can. You should use something like http://dayzdb.com/map with an ingame compass, even then, figuring out North from the beach is easy peasy, and moving east-west isn't too hard either, so you can determine where you need to go without even a compass... New additions are great for the game, but I'm sorry that this just isn't worth putting in. (EDIT I like the idea of easier GPS kits, they should be more common, and yes should use batteries as I think the community agrees on that)

Would you like some face with those bullets??
Charb replied to NightFire661's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE SHAKING ? Its seriously making me nauseous... -
I honestly thought this would be dumb, I've seen so many terrible hitler parody's, but you did a fantastic job with this !!! really good work :)
-
I like this but seriously... turn down your ingame sound effects and turn up your mic for next video
-
People playing online games because they have no friends IRL? Nonsense !!!
-
my only thought is you repaired the wrong wheels... some cars pop up with 2 choices for axles, additionally flat tires are driveable and you can clearly see they are flat by how "inflated" the tire is, an axle without a tire... is clearly a different story
-
no instances ever. no boss fights ever. THE ONLY THING which would be instanced would be player owned bunkers because you would have to load a unique id

please kill me im stuck! (i have alot of loot, MAP, ak-47, pistol, blood, morphine, food/drinks and you can have all of it!)
Charb replied to DoctorCrazy's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
you have to eat every 30 mins or so, then its just about bleeding out until you die. staying logged in and going afk is what u should do, you could have done that overnight. please come find me and kill me is going to take far longer.... -
as much as this sounds good, how do you explain my buddy who played on a server, went to dinner, came back, and was coast spawned when all he did was reconnect to the same server? I haven't found any reliable info on why that happened... I should say he on several occassions would get coast spawned when trying to reconnect to the same server day after day as we had to find new homes with the latest patch several days ago...

How do so many ppl have snipers and top guns?
Charb replied to TheMove's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
some of us have been playing for a very very long time... I never used the AS50 or the M107 but at one point we had 3-4 of each (group of players = win). I personally prefer the DMR if I'm using a sniper rifle TBH M249 or GTFO, thats what I prefer. versatile ammo, and nothing beats having a 200 round box for when it hits the fan !!! -
well I like the fact you put in how your friend got the as50 TWS....
-
have i got a new story for you
Charb replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
as much as i like your narrow escape... your on the coast bro... are you trying to get killed? -
Mysterious vehicles disappearing... happens alot, and you wonder... was it stolen? why did they take the gaz when the van and offroad truck is here fully loaded with better stuff? Gets annoying but w/e you lose stuff, you get more stuff. I think the people that accept this enjoy the game more. I'm not saying it doesn't suck for your or that your a whiner, but it happens and there is nothing we can do. Good luck on your next vehicle !!!

hardly a "chase". more of a crash...

if there was a DAYZ screenshot contest, this would win... beans for you my friend, my newest desktop image !!!

What could me and my cousin could've done better?
Charb replied to Krawger's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
Way too exposed... Also... playing on a server with tags = lame. join the big leagues !!!
