Suggest what Achievements you would like to see in the Final version when released. I know some people don't like Steam Achievements that's fine don't bother posting. As this is a request for Steam Achievements not a request for arguments against it. Have a nice day. I would say that every Achievement should reset when you are killed. There would be multiple Achievements per category for example "Zombies killed with baseball bat - lvl 1 10kill unlock Batter Up lvl 2 50kills unlock (insert witty bat related name here)" Hours alive (must be ingame and active) Zombies killed Zombies killed with (insert every weapon type here) Zombie types killed (insert every zombie type here) Beans Eaten Fish caught Animals killed Animal type killed (insert every animal type here) Meat eaten (insert every... well you get the idea) Players killed Same player killed (none steam friend) Distance traveled Towns visited Special sites visited Special Items collected Items crafted Bullets used Weapons Crafted Steam friends killed Players force fed (good) Players force fed (bad) Players hand cuffed People eaten Time spent sick Times vomited

Upgrade ? what thread where you reading to come up with the upgrade bit ?

Try not running with fists up use the jog speed rather than sprint seems to help sometimes :thumbsup:

Parachutist ? :) Cool idea actually make it .5 meters below the height you fall and die from :)

Good point. maybe its possible to turn off achievements or just ignore them then you wouldn't feel as though they are guiding you down a certain path. Still it is kinda moving into the I know some people don't like Steam Achievements that's fine don't bother posting. As this is a request for Steam Achievements not a request for arguments against it. Have a nice day.

Yer m8 i understand that's why i said Final release. Its a suggestion thread just in-case they do decide to add them at the end of production when everything is finished and polished :P

Name tags go against everything the devs are working towards concerning the HUD. Armbands and different clothes seem a good solotion. Quite looking forward to spotting a group wearing red armbands and then making myself one so I can quietly slip in with their formation as they move :) "set" "moving" "set" "hello" "mov... WTF?"

I love the night as well, so atmospheric. About gamma it should be locked as well as brightness. Yes some people will cheat and increase their driver settings etc. The thing is the Game should NOT allow or promote the adjustments so that seeing a screenshot or video of someone using driver altered night would then mean you can call them out as a cheat. If the anti cheats can detect outside settings for bots and the such I guess they could detect if you have turned up your video settings too high for night time as well. All moot until clouds, gamma, brightness are locked. Also until light sources are fixed. Will be a while though I think as performance seems to be the primary first goals of the alpha atm (which is good I feel).

BL1P replied to autoloon's topic in General Discussion
The walkie talkie seems very rare Found one on day one or day two cant remember which -
Stuff to do with each life. Drop a book next to every letter box you find. Collect bibles from churches then go around the east coast giving them to new spawns. Only eat one food type. Only drink from containers you find. Collect screen shots of every billboard I have 13 types found so far. wear wellingtons and a pink hat only and chase people shouting "I love you" over direct. Run through a town with a group of m8s shouting "run run run the zombies are coming".

Agreed also Stop the ability to remove shadows Stop the ability to alter gamma and brightness Stop the ability to lower textures so players stand out against blurry texture backgrounds Stop the ability to use FOV to zoom in let them zoom out still, in case they get a poorly from moving in a game. Stop Admins being able to reset servers for new loot Stop Admins being able to reset the time on a server All of these on top of the incoming environment and gameplay updates would make Hardcore really mean Hardcore and not just ooo great no 3rd mode.

At the moment the compromise is as the op stated separate servers with soon to arrive separate hives. This works well and both sides get to play in the play style they like. As the op stated it fractures the community. So if the community cannot live with the what I consider good compromise The only other solution I can see working is a harsh one. The devs and rocket in general prefer 1st person (from what i have seen) yes they say sometimes 3rd does have a reason to be in the game BUT in general its not suited for this style of hardcore survival game. So the solution that would stop all arguments would be to remove 3rd totally. Yes yes some would have motion sickness. To help reduce that amount they could remove motion blur and head bob and post process effects. Alot of people who have played OFP, ArmA, ArmA2 and ArmA3 with me over the years have found that turning off those 3 settings will stop the motion sickness associated with first person 90% of the time. Having people not LOS in first not appear in third but reappear in third when in LOS on first is not a solution and it will not work. I doubt Rocket has the balls to remove third from DayZ so the compromise atm is a good choice. If he does have them Ill be a happy man (hmmm does that sound a little broke mountain ?)

Some ideas to make the Hardcore mode, more Hardcore and balanced. Locked would or could equal what ever level the devs decided was best minimum or maximum level that didn't give an advantage to one player over another. An example would be Shadows... min level = medium and max level = Very High. Video settings :- Gamma locked Brightness Locked Terrain detail locked Texture detail locked Clouds locked Shadows locked and anything else which gives an advantage when lowered locked. Things like motion blur and post process might be a bad idea to lock as it makes some people prone to motion sickness when playing in first person Game play settings :- Head bob locked (could be a problem with motion sickness) FOV locked or only allow zoom out to stop people using fov as an instant scope or an extension of a scope. Server and hive settings :- Let the Hive control loot re-spawning rather than the server, so that admins cannot restart a server to get new loot spawns. Make it so a server restart uses the last time before the restart. (only applicable if gamma and brightness is locked) Lock the day night cycle to the hive so a server cannot be 24hrs daytime. (only applicable if gamma and brightness is locked) Make loot respawns governed by the Hive a long long time make it more about survival than looting. Let the flames begin :)

Some Suggestions for the Hardcore Mode and its Hive
BL1P replied to BL1P's topic in General Discussion
terrain is locked by the server same a view distance but the lowering of it in the settings does alter the amount of foliage slightly special over distance. -
Some Suggestions for the Hardcore Mode and its Hive
BL1P replied to BL1P's topic in General Discussion
Head bob is locked so everyone has it set at whatever its locked at by the devs The idea is that all play at the same level of game settings Low terrain = less grass for some clouds off at night increases visibility Lower textures = easier to spot people against low textured walls etc O yes i forgot shadows should be locked also -

What is you're funniest interaction/encounter with another player?
BL1P replied to TheGreatPerson's topic in General Discussion
My funniest one was watching 3 gay guys restrain a guy and make him take off his clothes, right before I shot all 3 in the head. Then listen to the guy in his underwear cry for help before I went of to find some Tuna ! -
You can hit people with fireplaces ?
