Delfer (DayZ)

Programming difficulty like this guy said, sheer pointlessness of it all, the fact it has no more substance than that of a simply "cool" feature(Which really is not cool at all, pretty lame actually considering the hatchet is like a metre long) makes this a really pointless suggestion

Alright first of all.. Rocket very clearly stated he wants us to meta game. No I won't link it, go find it or believe otherwise, I don't care, anyway thats out of the way Now, No It really doesn't make a difference to gameplay. Everyone is going to flock to Elektro and Cherno anyway, you think an extra walk will change that? Thirdly, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, without it, you take away the only thing that makes playing with friends a little bit easier.. Your argument against these unavoidable hotspots, and this being a "helping hand"(I don't buy that at all) simply can't be enough to make it extra impossible to team up with people.

Tell us all more about what a hardened survivalist you must be

Both sides are idiots. OP is butthurt noob who killed in Stary, big deal. Others are elite warrior tacticians who have the godsent ability to kill noobs and therefore are DayZ's elite Others will state obvious strategies that would have worked, but that no one, not even themselves, would ever use because that shit's boring lol @ realistic shooter

I hate when everyone who posts their butthurt elitist pro-realism comments thinks this game has to be either SUPER F*CKING REALISTIC LIKE REAL LIFE F*CK YEAH or COD!!@@!KIDDIES NO SCOPE YAY!!2!1 No you're all retarded, if you want a fun game you have to have a balanace between realism and gameplay. And let me tell you now, making your badass two line suggestions and comments isn't going to constitute a well balanced mechanic. But I understand, when I first start playing I thought that every little unrealistic bug had to be ironed out and destroyed! The game had to be soooo hardcore, but after playing for a bit, I see that was an unrealistic approach and would only serve to make the game a one time novelty. Contrary to what one may believe, a game does indeed have to be fun if you're going to be playing it longer than a month or two. In short; your suggestion doesn't even begin to address how removing respawn will increase realism And Anyone who takes on a 100% realism stance is a mongoloid

No, are you eight years old?

Obviously this is a good idea, but do you seriously believe it's worth suggesting? Placeholders The guns we have now are placeholders, for more sensible weapons. I'd bet money Rocket planned this from the start, but it isn't a priority at this time, so it's not in game yet. This is a good idea obviously, but I have no idea why people start up with the realist fanatacism. "Nope it isn't realistic to see a winchester in Europe, good observation Timmy"

+1 The thing I'm glad you said the most is about zombie killing being fun. It's so annoying how every time I go in to loot something I have to be a P*ssy about shooting a single shot from my fancy assault rifle because I'm going to have an endless supply tard rushing me until I disconnect or get knocked out(and disconnect) The more I get an awesome weapon like the SAW, and die trying to get loot before I even get to fire it, the less I want to waste hours of my life playing this with little reward. This is after I became a bandit from being pk'd too many times, I will kill other players no problem, but this is something worse. After wasting a whole character of 6 days p*ssyfooting around doing nothing, I just want to get an axe and murder everyone on the coast. In other words, I'm tempted to become a griefing douchebag just to have fun playing this. /that's the rant, end rage But it is in alpha and what Rocket said is very true about him needing well thought out mechanics and not ideas. I'm sure he'll figure something out. And regardless, the novelty of the thing makes it worthwhile for a month and a half or so. Anyway, good post, and I should stop reading these forums entirely my jimmies get rustled (not at this post though)

have you heard of aiming?

Gaidoon stop referring to my goddamn bandit rape family post, I hope you're trolling cause if you actually think I was serious then you have something wrong with your head. That "suggestion" is ridiculous, and would never happen in game, because it's a game and not a western movie brah, there isn't roleplay going on in DayZ, and you can't force it using stupid family mechanics. To conclude, you should be offended by my post. And Calaghan your idea sucks, and I want you to type up a 4 or 5 line response as to why I am immature please. P.S- When a post ends in "If you disagree you're a homophobe" you have to have something wrong with you to take it seriously

Finally someone who gets it...

I forgot to add that all players have a 5% chance of having Syphillis, and an alternative ending to that tale is your wife had it, and you died out in the woods before making it to a town for a gun. realism right?

You're returning to your ingame families camp now, after gathering some wood for the nights fire. Coming into earshot you begin to hear the joyful cries of your beautiful toddler AI playing with your wife. You still can't figure out what that humming sound is but -wait.. Dust clouds? No! Your camp has been raided by a clan, those cries... The sounds of other players forcing your lifelong partner to accept the sex invitation. You can see them now, there's a line and she keeps running through that horrible animation, and what.. what they're tbagging your toddler ai! And then you're shot, you try to fight but you pass out long enough for them to take your weapons, and force you to watch as a rogue clan rapes your family, loots your camp and leaves you to die.. (gameplay features coming) Your family doesn't make it and your sexual anxiety meter is full again but a new meter is now full, traumatic stress meter which has a 40% chance of remaining permanently full, causing shaking, occasional crying and ultimately leading to a permanent fetal position state where you are unable to re spawn and must wait until you starve. Provided your meter does begin to lower, the only way to keep it down is to dedicate the rest of your in game life to hunting down the men who killed your family. If you manage to kill enough of the rogue clan you can get the option to marry again and restore your sanity long enough for it to happen again. Don't like this idea? You must be a homophobe

Speaking of which, Why is there no asian/latino character option? We should be setting the example for mulch-ethnicty in the video game industry and fight xenophobia. Seriously though, I read the first page, and all political correctness/sensitivity/bullfeces aside, this is a stupid *ss idea and it's only getting this much attention because you brought up being gay. If I was gay I wouldn't care whether or not I could play as it ingame, because I'm not an idiot. And no thank you, let's not make this a social movement inb4 homophobe EDIT: Been successfully trolled, but my butthurt flows strongly and so my post remains
