I wouldn't drink from a jerry can unless I felt like I'm about to die anyways. I don't think you can get them clean enough to store water to drink.

His point is actually a valid point. He didn't say "anywhere" on the map. Just being able to choose which spawn to use to get grouped with friends. However a better idea might be to be able to make a group before de game starts and be spawned randomly but together.

That's why I liked the good old Ghost Recon. Bullets didn't have a chance to kill you, you had a chance to survive the bullet.

Let's get nukes and armored tanks into the game, they are real and surely to be found on Russian territory. I also want a mingun and bomber aircrafts in the airfield.

Rescue is not the point of the game. For some reason the characters you use like Chernarus a lot. Maybe they are criminals sentenced to death that escaped from a prison island. That would explain most people behaviour and why they like the anarchy and hell of Chernarus and using the helicopter to jerk around the place instead of using it to escape.

I'm not that sure on that 49 minute stat on the DayZ page. I have lived way longer than that except maybe on my first life and I'm pretty sure a lot of people do too. If that stat is correct I'm sure it is "contaminated" by first timers quick deaths, buggy deaths, debug forest deaths and the old respawn until out of kamenka deaths.

I wouldn't like to see NPCs on the game. Player only interaction is more appealing to me. Also about currency...... currency doesn't work very well on games. It only thrives in games where in can be sold for real money. Remember Diablo 2? The game standard currency (gold) was sunk into oblivion and stones of jordan started to be used as coins. Funny to think about it.

Defibrillators are fun in games like Quake Wars and so, I know, I love the medic role whenever it's available. But they are not realistic. A defib won't close your wounds and restore your blood levels. Technically, the epi-pen in this game covers the defib function of other games.

Yeah, Chernarus is a place where lighters don't exist and we get more sniper rifles than matchboxes. Sad truth.

Postal 2 multiplayer had this concept for sniper rifles. When someone aimed at you with a scope the edges of the screen became dark with a little distinctive tension sound. I'll try to find a video to post it, but the game wasn't very well known so it may be hard.

I like darkness. My first playthrough was in a night server but it was just unbearable. If you do get zombie aggro you are fucked since you have to run blndly since your character cant hold a flashlight pointing ahead. I know that would get me shot, etc, etc, not the point. I really liked the atmosphere and would like it was more playable. I wouldn't play on night even if I had nightvision by the way. Green screen breaks atmosphere.

I played at night. I wasn't a complete noob since I read a lot and watched a several gameplay videos before. I lived through a few hours, I wasn't very cautious really, just walking with my flashlight on almost all the time knowing that could end my story. But it didn't happen. I managed to live long enough to get overfrustrated when I did catch zombie aggro and had to run flailing th flashlight everywhere except in front of me to see where I was going. I discovered that running blind in the night with a zombie behind wasn't funny so I never played in the night ever again. I died when I took the game again the next morning, I got hurt really bad during the night chasing with around 1000 blood so a random faint got me killed. However I really liked the atmosphere of walking in the dark with a flashlight. I would like it was bearable to play at night. I would always play at night.

Greetings. I would like to play more in first person but I get this zoom like effect that bothers me a lot when turning around corners and so. I find it very uncomfortable. I guess it is related to fov, like if it was at 60°-75°. Is there a cvar to increase it slightly to I dont know 85°-90° without being considered a cheat? I say so because some games have this feature limited because some people set it to ridiculous values and get to literally see behind their backs.

Wow. Thanks for that link. I don't now why it has to be that tedious. Most games have a sort of "fov X".

Helicopters mean pushing bullsht too hard. It makes no sense. THey don't make sense in balance, and they don't make sense in realism either.

When you are under 9,000 Blood any hit has a chance to drop you unconscious and they start eating you until you get up. Knock down duration is very random but sometimes is somewhat long and if you are alone it can easily get you killed.

They already have a chance to knock you down and eat you. Almost like grabbing you.

For people saying PVE is boring. Remember you don't have to play on PVE servers, you don't even have to acknowledge their existence. So it wouldn't be your bussiness if they are boring or not.

Only time I get very frustrated with knock outs is when Im at about 6.5k blood, I let my guard down just a sec and a zombie hits me once and I fall down for about a minute or I don't know how much time, and ruins my life in one hit. That only happened once to me, I'm not saying it happens very often, but that one time got very frustrating. It's like zombies are easy, easy, and suddenly, one hit kill. Bad luck.

I almost always prefer first person point of view in games. However, there are games where it is not quite well implemented. For example World of Warcraft and this game have like a zoom effect that prevents me from effectively calculating distances when turning around the corner or something. I guess it could be fixed be increasing the FOV but I haven't taken the time t see around the internet if there is a console command to adjust the FOV.

The concepts you are using are defined and thus, they exist. And they happen in this game. Some people support them, some people frown upon them. But you are wrong by saying "There's no such thing as X". I will assume you tried to say that "It's not wrong to do X" in which case again, it's all a matter of personal taste. There is no right answer.

From what I have experimented, flashlights have no effect on zombie behaviour. However zombies have very erratic behaviour, sometimes you can be just one step from a zombie with flashlight on and nothng happens, but sometimes you can be pitch black and hear a zombie aggro at 100m away from you. Also in the day I sometimes get zombie aggro from really really far for no apparent reason. Bottom line: Flashlight doesn't affect zombies in any way but don't trust them, they behave very randomly. P.S: I would really like to be able to run without flailing the flashlight all around so I could see where I'm heading. I would still play during nights that way.

I like this, except the ammo capacities. That goes too far. But I always wanted to at least be able to merge partially used magazines. Firearms, the old half-life mods does this.

Since I read the plan is to eventually release a stand alone version to sell, I'm pretty sure he will end up doing it when he has to decide between selling 500,000 copies or 1,000,000. Options give variety, variety gives market, market gives cash.

Calm down. First I don't know how much time a simple cvar like "mp_friendlyfire 1/0" would take to implement. No new hive is needed, I have read of servers having a private database. I'm pretty sure that is all they need. When zombie AI gets improved it benefits both "communities" and no harm was done. I don't know if I'm missing something.
