RunningScared

Other humans are the main enemies in the game, in my opinion this is a PVP game with PVE mixed in at the perfect amount, makes the zombies harder or easier, who cares? When you make it harder to kill a human, they take more bullets to kill, it doesnt unbalance the game, it will always be balanced between the two forces at war in the game, the human players, so nerfing the guns keeps it actually equal. I personally prefer the aspect of easy kills with bullets, if you get shot, the pain level is so great that you might as well be dead I think, if anything they don't need to increase weapon damage at all, like the Arma 2 patch did, maybe balance certain guns, but just make the damage head/body/limbs, where head is dead, body knocks you unconscious for a bit with pain, and limbs just disable where you are shot, arms get broken speerate from legs, tweo handed guns cant be shot if your arm is broken and what not, and you can not walk like it is if yer leg is broken. stuff like that.

Please don't mess it up :)

In the state it is in right now, minus the hackers and the really shitty loading times to get into the world, and a few of the fixable glitches with inventory and shit disappearing, it would be the best game ever made. Hell, even with it, it is the best game I have ever played. I just make a sincere plee to not mess with the basis of the game as laid out by Dean Hall's ideas he had from surviving in the wilderness of New Zealand on his training missions. Quote from Dean Hall;

Day Z is about making your own story. Not following one that you conjured up in your head, to be dictated to the entire populace. It is an organic game, the highest level of RPG, and if they did things like you are saying, it would ruin the game in every way, shape, and form. P.S. why use artificial intelligence for our main opponents instead of real intelligence for our main opponents? An AI military force of 100 marines is not as scary as one single human intelligence sitting in the shadows of your next turn.

I think that the advantage of traveling and playing with a partner, and then say a trio,and imagine 4+ in a group, the length of your survival time would increase exponentially as the more people you gather into your peoples numbers. This is not the reason that we shoot on sight at all. It is because you can not trust someone you just met over the internet, and everybody knows that, and yes, even if you have skyped with them or been in vent with them. I can only team up with people I can trust, so I have to avoid anyone else, and if it comes down to it, if I see no other alternative that provides my complete safety, if I have any inkling that they might be even entertaining the idea to maybe kill me, I have to kill them. That is the more reasonable reason why shooting on sight is so prevalent. Oh, and the other reason is because people are fucking dickheads and they know its just a game.

How many total vehicles are you proposing? - not including bikes

I honestly thought someone could get on the back of the bike on that rack, I know I have ridden many people behind me on my rack when I used to ride a bike with one.

thanks

Yeah, having the power station operational should only send power to towns/house/streetlights if the power grid lines have been repaired as well with scrap metal or some shit, then you could follow the lines from the powerplant if you wanted to connect a specific city repairing each one along the way, and if your off the grid you get no power, maybe have the repairs degrade at some reasonable level like twice as long as food lasts, also make them susceptible to sabotage like others have said. Actually, if you can destroy them you wouldn't need a degrade on the power lines at all.

yeah specifically maybe more bicycles, would be nice to travel town to town on them, hiding them outside town in bushes and whatnot, thats what I do and it works really well, you basically cut out the running with an enjoyable bike ride, although I do not think I could really go uphill at 25 k/h... That way vehicles retain there rarity and high value, but people don't have to run everywhere.

It does make sense, what doesnt make sense is pretending you go for a headshot on every zombie, including the ones running around like they just smoked a bowl of crack laced with meth and sprinkled with ecstacy.

When I played battlefield I would only play hardcore mode for a reason. I hope they change it back, or at least if the guns don't do so much damage, make it so you get knocked out from the pain of numerous bullets entering your body.

I support the idea of Water being needed more often than food, but it should not give you any blood at all.

Yes.

If you want to make a trade, you both meet in a designated area, and you both have your buddies concealed with sniper rifles aimed at the other guys head. Problem solved. If either of you tries to pull something funny, you both die.

I think I tingle more than when I used to play Asherons Call on Darktide, and that was truly my favorite game of all time before this one. Yeah, my first two kills were from the top of the 5 apartment buildings at the edge of Cherno, shot two people with one shot each in the body with my einfield, it seemed so real to me because they died with one bullet, or at least went unconscious with pain, I guess that would not happen now with the weaker weapons. I hope they patch that nerf out of DAyZ. And yes, hackers suck, but I will deal with them to play.

If you want order to deal with murderers, form a real player coalition. Bringing NPC guards into this game would ruin it, just like zap towers ruined Darkfall, and Intsa Kill guards ruined Mortal online.

You forgot to mention removing the yellow zones also.

Why would I want to be protected by an NPC guard when I can and should be protected by a guard who is an actual player?

I only had to read this. You should change games immediately.

I don't mind the hoarding, because now I have started searching for places on the map that would make good hiding spots for vehicles, crannies in between rocks, groves of trees, one thing that needs to be done is the edge of the map needs to be cut off, you should not be able to hide vehicles out there, not sure if you still can, it would also fix the problem of someone teleporting me 10 miles out into the ocean...

Being eaten by zombies right after spawning is not that big of a deal, you have nothing to lose, plus, it prepares you for the inevitable future of being raped by humans.

Repairing the power station to activate power to street lights and houses is not a bad idea, would have to be hard as shit though, like you have to find rare items like electrical books and shit explaining how to do it and pieces to repair it. Also, I think if someone repaired it, someone would also have to be able to destroy it. That would be cool.

I see lots of cars everywhere, they are all destroyed beyond repair though, the few cars that are still fixable are rare, isn't that real enough?

The real world is a fucked up place, not surprising that this one is also. This is a survival game, it is hard to survive, especially with armed psychopaths running around killing people, but I survive....I survive!
