This thread is mostly useless. Hotwiring sovjet cars is so freakin easy, you dont even need tools for it, even the window can be pushed down without tools. ITT: people who know shit about eastern europe

DayZ Commander isn't always right, also whats up with this shit admins doing whatever they want instead of doing what they're supposed to do: look after hackers report bugs host a normal sever (intended by DayZ devs YES just like time) with this argumentation "it isn't workin? oh download that, it would help" you justify hackers.

There are a few servers with 70-75 and I also saw a japanese or sth server with 100 slots. The problem with the slots is many of this slots are unused, so server admins reduce the slots of a server and set one or two additional servers up with 40 slots. The Hive server wouldn't have a problem with this, it is only a matter of server resources from the admin, if he has some good specs in there he could even go further than 100... but many people tend to go to less populated servers as there are less bandits.

Functioning vehicles are scarce - i get it. But my problem is understanding how a normal citizen is able to repair an engine (even worse an high tech helicopter) without any knowledge, so here my idea: Before you get the option to repair a vehicle, you have to read a manual on how to repair said vehicle OR you must have the manual in your inventory as a tool. BUT - an engine can't be repaired without tools, so the toolbox would again be necessary to repair vehicles. Now players need 2 rare (heli superare?) items in order to repair a vehicle. so the spawn numbers of vehicles could be way higher than now. Yes - I do see this effect could be abused to get many many vehicles, BUT: Third point I don't get the point how a normal civilian is able to fly a helicopter, people without real training would crash and die when attempting to fly with one so again: What are your thoughts on this guys?

please remove those wire fences, DayZ is unplayable with 1.7.4, you can't see anything with those glitches everything is grey. And even more awful - trolls keep setting them everywhere up so you can't play ( or why is are wire fences - which dont block anything - in the middle of cherno necessary).

Operating a tank is quite difficult and needs expertise;) Just like helicopters.. but that said, i do not support fuel and fly helicopters as they are harder to master than planes and thus not realistic to take so easily. Every Client you log in authenticates with the ArmA2: OA Key, so if you ban this Key they can switch usernames and IP and are still banned. But I don't know if this Key gets saved when the player leaves a server, so I think this would be the best way to abolish them.

Than my bad:P

Rocket is currently only working on how to exterminate hackers. As you say, recording XYZ data and warn admins/developers when player moves suspicious when spawning illegal vehicles every player near it gets kicked and vehicle removed (could be abused, still better than a rioting tank) same with illegal weapon insta kick

The character puts the gun on his back, while running you would easily fall because you wouldn't concentrate on the ground, a root or a stone and you would lie on the floor and feed those zombies you ran away from.

As it is now, most vehicles are hoarded by admins/clans. Many people don't ever see a car, but imagine the following: That is because of the ArmA engine, i think Rocket told us we are nothing more than mere civilians. It is an Horror Survival SIMULATOR, it isn't any Arcade game. So DayZ tries to simulate real life as near as possible - and i am trying to contribute. I'd like to hear what in particular is so bad about my idea.

May I ask what is so bad about this idea, no offense against you, just wanting to know what I miss, so I can improve with future suggestions.

I wouldn't make it this way, as you hold the pistol with both hands. I would rather see myself dropping my first weapon to the floor to quickdraw my secondary weapon.

Never saw this when I was in czechia, slovakia, slowenja, hungary, bulgaria nor romania when I was visiting relatives.

I like this idea, slowing players/zombies down, damaging them and making them bleed, this would even more realistic then the current model which breaks your legs.

eh yeah, let me check wire blocking barracks [check] wire blocking firehouse cherno/elektro [check] collect wires, put them everywhere because fuck you [check] wire graphic glitching like shit [check] zombies walk/glitch through wire fences when put in building so good luck with that and loot camping is really awesome, so please let those wires in! tell me what i should do with my friends with those wires, collect em and barricade every spawn point for players? FUNNY IDEA! we stay mostly in the forrest, this tends to be way better holding off zombies and for killing bandits than camping somewhere in town per se wire fencing isn't bad, just when griefers lay their hands on it.... wire fences have to be fixed somehow so they can't be missused, till then i'd like to see them removed

And why isn't it possible to start out with a knife? Don't you have knives at home? Poor you, well most people have knives like this at home so why not take it on a level with a crowbar as an item to start with? oh i forgot it would be overpowered and unrealistic to use every day items

WOAH sorry he hurt your feelings, he forgot zombies multiplicate by a million like every second and it would be unrealistic to kill all of them because they are so many and overwhelm us not only by numbers, but also by technology and intellect. BTT: interesting idea, but i don't think rocket will ever implement this, as this isn't what he imagines under DayZ

Did you ever cut wood? An axe only gets stuck if you do an unproper hit. Zombies die when i hit their brain stem, period. Zombies are infected people and thus work like normal people. The rib cage is by far not solid enough to get an axe stuck, axes work different than swords, swords might not work when they get dull, axes have a different physics than swords.

Increasing the view distance would make DayZ unplayable for some people. Increasing the view distance would make servers send more data to players which increases lag. Awesome isn't it.

You should definetly become a doctor. Your intestines and your skin have more bacteria on it than you have cells. White blood cells? oh nice those are fucking killing everyone except you no no characters in DayZ are completely steril i forgot

the axe i have here from which i get my firewood weighs ~2.5kg so have fun to get struck with that, it doesn't even need to be sharp to hurt, against your head? your head looks funny afterwards

most helpful post since weeks in the forum

from my experience, the latter. reason often same as with snipers, so read further Indeed right, the first thing I do when i spawn at elektro/cherno/balota is getting an hatchet and look up all the camp spots to kill campers - often they get a feeling of my hatchet, sometimes they disconnect phase and spawn behind me just to kill me, srsly nice game mechanics which made me ragequit more than once, same goes with bandits or groups of bandits, saw em killing other players, going to snipe them, as i don't have oneshotting weapons in 99% it ends with an Alt-F4. I go even further, when i see unarmed players i go to them and give them my pistol, dumb? probably, but then from 30 players i helped only 2 or so shot me, so I don't stop because there are black sheep Yes, you can build squads, but the problem I see is there is no need to do so, you can easily play on your own/with friends and don't need to make contact with strangers. It is an option - I would like this to be more a necessity then an option I was trying to say: surviving is too easy at the moment, it should be much much harder imo

So tell us, is there anything else beside PvP which is fun?
