You've made friends in game yet reject the idea of teamwork. Whilst posting stupid pictures and making jokes, please go back to 4chan where that is encouraged, we're here to discuss a game. Where teamwork can be introduced. It exists in real life, my friend wont kill me in cold blood, but everyone in the game will, and voice chat is not even close to implementation of teamwork.

So a ceasefire, a recognised military gesture is an artificial mechanic, but breaking my legs getting scratched by a zombie is ok? And please, no it is not a slippery slope. None of those will happen and this idea will not influence them. Killing people is currently in the game, I can pick up a gun, and kill someone. Teamwork is not implemented, there is no recognised or proper way of teaming up, something that is VITAL in any iteration of a zombie apocalypse.

Wow, "ignorant" doesn't even begin to describe you, how about you read my suggestion before you come up with your smart arse reply. Do you actually have any friends mate? Again I reiterate I don't want people to "hold my hand against the bad man" I don't want to fix "bandits" or "griefers". Just an option to team up. You seem to think the whole idea of clans/friends playing together is "hand holding". Maybe you should re-organise your thoughts and reply when you have a cohesive argument.

I do mate. I play my with my mate in real life, we were discussing what it would be like to team up with strangers.

I understand your point, The scenario you guys suggest all involve some player with malicious intent, I have no intention of providing a "fix" for greifers or bandits. This idea merely provides the sanctity of teamwork to players who both want it, you don't want teamwork, no prob kill them. Doesn't worry me. I reiterate, this is purely to benefit those who want to co-operate. No one else.

Umm, dont know how to break this too you, but this is a game, your killing virtual people with a mouse and keyboard, seriously. And not everyone uses voice chat, and this means nothing, people have said friendly in VC all the time and lied.

Yes, absolutely, i should refer you to a previous post someone on this thread made that Rocket does not encourage realism. I would also like to point out that the list of realistic effects you have listed is irrelevant, as none of them have actually been realistically implemented yet (yeah its only alpha blah blah blah). Like people breaking their legs from walking slowly into a railing, a zombie scratching my arm and me breaking my leg, blood pouring out in this weird fountain etc...

This is still doable right now, as i have mentioned, my idea is beneficial for people who GENIUNELY want to team and help each other. That idea of luring is incredibly clever, i dont see it as an exploit, as its totally fine for people to do that, i dont want to remove the whole hazard/danger risk of the game as its awesome, as i said, it will merely benefit those with good intentions, not detract from those with bad. And hey what if the victim, whos being lured, kills player B, player A's friend, that would be akward huh? Player 1: "Hey dude i just killed this guy! Lets loot him" Pleyr A thinks, do i tell this guy he was my friend and i was planning to betray him? or do i loot my friends corpse as my plan failed.

Exactly, a time limit on the ceasefire, if both teammates wish to extend their team, so be it, if they wish to part ways fine. Maybe members of the team could get an aesthetic change, to identify each other, such as similar hat for example, or something more creative, allowing each team member to identify each other, as well as other players being able to recognize these people as a "team".

I literally have no idea what your trying to say.

I understand that, but lets forget the walking dead for a moment, also lets not post spoilers dude, i havent read the comics. But the way i see it the walking dead tv show is the most realistic representation of a zombie apocalyse ive ever seen (if it really happened) compared to stuff like resident evil movies where theres like people running on walls and ceilings dodging bullets with inf mag dual uzi's etc.. But i digress, my point here is simple, the option of KoS is always there, never touched, should you wish to kill them, fine do so. The option to team up doesnt exist currently, i dont think rocket should encourage either KoS or teaming, he should simply give us the option to do both, as teaming up currently requires outside the game connections friends/clans etc

Fine, decline the offer and then kill them. No need to become friends with them and then kill them, thats just cold hearted murder. KoS woud still exist the same way it always has, but the option is there for two people who genuinely want to team up, thats all.

Theme of the mod? Rocket encourages nothing. There is no theme. If were talking realism, (Walking dead comparison again lol) We see that if there was a zombie apocalypse, people would team up to survive, i wouldnt kill someone in real life, they could be a scouting member of a large group of people living in the apocalypse. I highly doubt everyone in the zombie apocalypse would be some sort of lone wolf guy looking for "military tents" to get some "sick guns" and "kill newbs". People would team up in real life, i dont see it any other way.

So im going on holiday soon and ill want to put DayZ on my laptop, how would i go about doing that and still keep the same character and all my stuff? I bought Arma 2 CO on steam, so i was thinking id just backup my steam games on an External HDD, then install the lot on my laptop, followed by redownloading the Six Launcher. Is that right or am i missing something?

Excellent, thanks for the reassurance. Beans.

So, i just found my first tent. I understand Tents are server side saved. But if i go and pitch my tent on, lets call it Server A. Is it possible to again pick up an already pitched tent (with items inside) and log in to another server, and then repitch the tent on Server B, with items inside intact? People seem to think tents are like gold dust. But once you get one. You are glued to that server right? If the server i pitch my tent on is full. What do i do? And people are going to steal my stuff anyway, is there some place i can pitch the tent that's somewhat safe. Surely there must be some benefit to owning a tent, one i have yet to discover, before i actually commit to using the one i found.

Im not joking here. I was on green mountain. Grid Square 0309 on interactive map. I was on the deer stand on the east of the forest. Anyway i was looking around with my CZ 550 and i swear i saw a bigfoot on the ridge of the forest north of the deer stand. I chased after it and switched fraps on. but i couldnt find it! I reckon its in the game somewhere with a low chance of spawning maybe?

Guys, I'm not joking right now, I know what I saw, and it scared me to my bone. I saw it, the bigfoot, it was there, on green mountain. help. HES COMINGFDVNDFSEDKCFLSDSDC X/....................

I am not an idiot. I know exactly what a ghillie suit is, and it was definitely not another player wearing one. This was bigfoot, it may not be the bigfoot we deserve, but it's the bigfoot we need right now.

So should i go into the woods and pitch my tent? What do people normally put in them? i mean i find that if i put valuables in there they will be stolen. What are the reasons for using one REALLY?
