Just please, please don't let it be the same tired Hollywood reason for every disaster movie these days: "An Evil Corporation's Plan for Power and Profit Gone Wrong". Make it aliens or Nazis or anything else....

Unless the one that found the gun was hungry and wanted the other guys beans.

A metal gate sound when there is no metal gate near is rediculous. There should be NO random sounds. All sounds should be generated by somehting real or they should not exist.

Ruger 10/22 .22 caliber semi automatic rifle. In production since 1964, over 5 million made and sold wordwide. Quite, effective (headshots), ammo is cheap, lightweight, abundant. Also add various magazines in different capacities that are readily available for the 10/22: 10 round, 20 round, 30 round and 50 round drums. The ultimate Zombie killer.

Zeds that are 50 yards away but sound like they're moaning in your ear are annoying too.

Exactly.

I keep seeing this red herring. Yes, it's about zombies. Zombies are not real. We know that. But the remainder of the game should reflect reality to the greatest extent possible! If you take the "this isn't real life, this is a zombie apocalypse" line to it's logical conclusion the game could have trolls, fairies, aliens, jet packs, phasers, hover cars, transporters, flying monkeys, talking unicorns or anything else because after all "it isn't real life".

I’ll also second the matches complaint. I’ve been playing pretty regularly for over a month, I’ve found M16’s, AK’s, hunting knives, maps, watches etc. I only recently found my very first box of matches. And within about an hour, I found a second box. In that same session I found at least 8-10 hunting knives. Evidently "match technology" had only recently been imported into Chernarus. I have an additional complaint that the OP missed. Painkillers. It seems every bottle of painkillers in Chernarus contains only one dose, because you use it and it is gone. And it’s a really big bottle because it takes up as much space as a can of beans, a Coke or a canteen of water! Painkiller bottles should have AT LEAST a dozen uses before it’s used up. Make them rarer if need be, but make them last more than one use.

See link in my sig for an idea that is pretty much what you're asking for.

Yeah the guns in my closet break themselves or run off and get lost all the time. :huh: Geeeezzz, where do you people get these silly ideas???????

I LOVE Bill Whittle!!!

Zeds are infected people, people are found more often in and around towns/buildings. Therefore more buildings, bigger towns equal more zeds. It’s logical. It is not logical to think that zeds exist everywhere at all times and will ALWAYS show up every time a weapon is fired.

Are you talking about making the existing guns less accurate or replacing them with less accurate weapons? Real world weapons should match their real world performance as closely as the game engine will allow. IE don't make an M4/AKM/CZ550/Makarov/M1911 more or less accurate than it should be.

I am a casual gamer and I have as much “balls” as you do. I am a casual gamer because I have a REAL LIFE. You know: a wife, kids. A home to take care of, a lawn to cut and a pool to clean. I play GAMES in my free time. Sometimes while I am playing a GAME I have to stop suddenly and without warning because REAL LIFE intervenes. And why do you care so much if someone logs off while you’re shooting at them? The only reason I ever shoot at someone is if I think they are a danger to me, if they log off well that eliminates the danger just as good as if I shot them. I think someone is just whining over missing out on a “kill”.

Why? Zeds already spawn in towns etc when a player is near and if he then shoots while they are close by they will be attracted. I just don’t care for needless fake mechanics, IE spawning something because a player does or does not take a certain action. It should be as it is, if a player shoots and a zed is nearby he gets rushed, if he shoots and there are no zeds nearby he doesn’t. Realistic and simple.

But what is gained from this "biome" knowledge even if it were realistic? Any survivor can be dirty, bloody, tired, sweaty etc. Afterall, they’re all living outside trying to survive a zombie apocalypse! I would really be suspicious of someone who was clean and smelling of cologne!

No. Again, totally unrealistic.

There is nothing "magical powers" about this at all. It simply allows people to do what they are already trying to do' date=' join with other players to form groups. Yes. Excuse me? Who are you to tell me what to post?

Number 2 is fine but I don't think it is very realistic for a player to be able to precisely identify what weapon killed someone, other than some obvious differences between a pistol, a rifle and a shotgun wound. Nor is it realistic for a player to be able to detect another "biomes" or whatever. See link below for my ideas.

If you want to prove that you are welcome to try to do so. But if you do as you did on my previous post, and just make false accusations based on wild fantasies of your own imagination rather than what I have written, I will call you out on it just like I did on the old/vanished thread. As in your calling this a "WoWification" and "a game-destroying idea"; would you care to explain how that can possibly be given that this is, as I clearly stated and you obviously have ignored again, purely OPTIONAL method that each player could choose to use or ignore? Save yourself further embarrassment and stop making easily disproven accusations now.

I don't believe the issue is that people don't want to group together, it is just that doing so is too difficult for most casual players. I have a proposal to help with that issue: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10900
