REVOLT (DayZ)

No, alpha is not where mods get fixed up. Alpha is for implementing game mechanics and features. Then deciding what is in and what is out. Beta is bug squashing. Open Beta is networking. Fin.

Trolls exist because simple minds are easily entertained.

Fists.

There should be a mechanic to let you hide caches of food stuffs and ammo. The draw back is other players could find them while looking for a place to hide their shit. Here in Texas burying guns and ammo are common. (people bury spares so the government cant take them if they get froggy). They even sell air tight containers to bury AKs and ARs in. Maybe: Shovel + Garbage bag = bury your treasure. There would have to be some small visual queue to add risk. Metal detectors could be added for treasure hunters. :D

Just like any MMO that has characcter transfers. Non-PVP stays on non-PVP and PVP stays on PVP. As long as people can't go to non-PVP for loot then back to PVP to use it. There should be no issue.

I see third person as a compensation for a narrow field of view and the inability to peak over walls.

SKS is no longer in production and are more rare than AKs in real life. I only say this because i used to manage an custom AK shop and learned a lot about guns while I was there. AKs are everywhere. Hell there is an AK manufacture here about 15 minutes from my house.

Make the Quiver take the place of a backpack. Arrows and bolts can only be carried in a quiver. (5 min - 20 max) (common - rare types) Arrows and bolts are retievable. Each use has a chance to break the arrow or bolt.

You can eat raw meat safely if it is a fresh kill. You can't eat packaged meat raw though. The mass of salmonella or other food born bacteria from uncooked meat is due to mass production and poor quality control. That's how people get salmonella from fresh spinach. Runoff from meat packing plants make it to veggie farm. Also, when you cook meat it loses nutritional value. Fresh raw meat would actually give you more blood. I am not trying to disagree with everyone. This is supposed to be a sim and facts are facts. :P Raw meat could have a timer. The older it gets the more likely you will get sick if you eat it raw. Once the game has more stats. Eating raw meat could screw with your sanity or state of mind in some way if you do it all the time.

The problem is there is no consequence for bandits and no way to communicate a truce before you are shot in the back of the head. People want a simulation and I am sorry but everyone would not be shooting everyone in a situation like this. Most people would be happy to see another survivor. It's not getting killed that is the problem. It's that there is no way to find people that don't want to kill everyone and their mother.

A visual queue to simulate the eyes widening from the shock of seeing a bandit would help. Maybe the screen gets a tad brighter for a moment.

Clicked the link and it was playing my great uncle Marty Robbins. I'm sold. :P

Not sure what the gun laws are where this takes place but where i am, guns and ammo are very abundant. Including AK and AR variants. With the mass of society being Zs and not using their firearms. It an actual situation like this. Kicking in a door to an empty house and finding a gun and ammo would be easy. What would be rare is high quality variants, high powered scopes, and NV. Like I said though. The areas previous gun laws are what would make it believable or not. We all live in different places with different laws. For me, I'm in Texas so restrictions are minimal.

Currency could be a resources in large quantity that can be traded in small amount. The brass from spent rounds, unused rounds, salt, sugar, dried foods like jerky, spark plugs, fan belts, etc. Of cousre some skills or abilities would have to be created to make these resources wanted buy everyone.
