Bandit Hunter

I'd never have left the building. Bandits are impatient. You lost the real advantage when you walked into his trap, even knowing. The Bandit would likely have only waited a minuet or two before getting bored and entering himself. Counter ambush, no broken leg. Nice video

That is how they can be implemented into this GAME, to add a more available but less powerful grenade alternative. I PERFECTLY understand that a molotov cocktail is NOT a fragmentation grenade, and does not operate the same way. I PERFECTLY understand that the human body is not actually warmed by alcohol. I understand you (CoolestCat) do not yet even PLAY the game, but when you do, you will find it is NOT a perfect simulation of life on planet earth. Your opinion as of now is "oh, well dynamic fire spread would be hard, so lets scrap your suggestion." Thats not how ideas progress.

I agree it shouldn't act the same as a water canteen. I used to think it didn't, and avoided drinking it. However, I don't think the advantage should be speed, as that doesn't make any sense outside of an RPG style game. I know drinking a soda before going running slows me down, in real life. I'd like to brainstorm some advantage/disadvantages, otherwise I like the idea.

Who you are in this game is as literally who you actually are than any other game i've played. Its not in any way an RPG, unless you consider playing a character a role. ' If you call yourself a doctor in game, and trade meds to other survivors, that's what you are. You can call yourself a dock worker and do the same exact thing. You can also call yourself a doctor, and murder other survivors. Its truly open, and thats how most players like it.

If they die from starvation/dehydration after entering a server, it is because they fail to keep an extra can of food and source of water before they log off. There is more than enough time to do 35 push ups, eat, drink, and high five a Zed before you even begin the process of dying. Players have adapted to carrying an extra can of food. Those who log off in the wild without extras, die a few minuets after coming back in game.

That's how it was at the start (correct me if i'm wrong, ancient DayZ survivors.) It was quickly removed, because the player using all its supplies and possibly dying, while out working in the real world, or at school, having a family or social life, ect, was a quick way to piss off a world of fans. I'd rather see food/drink consumption while offline scratched completely.

I don't want to see zombified animals, but I do want to see hostile animals. A hungry dog/wolf to pose a threat to us woodland survivors would be a nice balance to bandits in the city. I'd like to see animals that move. I'd like to see more animals. I like this suggestion in general, and in fact, the general improvement of animals. Big Game Hunter: DayZ

I like it. If i'm reading correctly, it would add spaces to the actual inventory, not act as a backpack. I think that'd be very cool, and make it useful to find.

If somebody chooses to grab a few days worth of food, ammunition, and meds, than make off to a lake somewhere in the North East, that's entirely they're choice. Altering the entire game to force them to struggle isn't necessary. In a real life situation, some will try and stay in the areas of civilization, building themselves up. Others will retreat to the woods and live off the land, unhampered.

I saw some other people saying the same. Post in bugs?

I like the idea of adding alcohol, for the purposes above, and also maybe some disadvantages to weigh its use. I don't especially like the idea of home-brewing in DayZ, I have hundreds of priority way above brewing in this post-apocalyptic survival sandbox. I think molotovs are already in line to be added, I remember a Dev saying something about it.. don't quote me though.

1. I assume sleeping is implied during your periods logged off. Food and Drink status are draining than, so I would assume you're probably still in game taking a nap. 2. You can go much further than an hour on a single food item already in DayZ. I usually play in 3-4 hour bursts, and usually only eat once, as soon as I log in. Secondly, most players won't be playing DayZ for 3 square meals, this would drastically lower the needed amount of food, and making finding food hardly a priority. 3. Boiling water to cleanse it would be easy to implement, I like the idea. 4. I like the idea of camo, Metal Gear Solid 3 style. I vote for this idea too, and consider it worth an entirely separate topic. 5. There is a whole trap suggestion topic somewhere, make a search for it and add your vote, because I love that idea and have been doing the same. 6. Define "take a toll on the mind?"

No problem, choose it. He's just stressing its a final choice, no redos. Its not against the rules to switch it up, its just permanent.

New moral decision. Never hit a girl, but its possibly OK to blow them away with a shotgun. For those struggling with the decision.. its not supposed to be a decision. Its a fact, are you a guy, or a lady. I'm sure somebody has told you by now.

Time check. Hive is server-side, players don't have to worry about it. Stand by until a server updates.

How hard is it to assume when you spawn back on the beach after death, your just another survivor, rather than the reincarnated being of your prior self. I think it'd be more unrealistic to be unable to loot your own corpse, under the assumption that it IS your own corpse. Awkward.

BIS said they'd be incorporating DayZ into a patch. I don't know what it means, its just what they said.
