Strategos (DayZ)

Yup b0rked for us as well.

Good idea , remove a bit more mystery from the game ;) I hope your wrong, and if you arent, I hope Rockets makes them truly random.

lol yeah ive had a sniper fire 8 shots at me as I ran away , missed every one of them :)

This is a terrible idea. Any random start just encourages suicide to get good loot. Any good loot on spawn encourages noob killing. Guy spawns with gun, waits for noobs with the other gear to spawn and farms them Keep it the same as it is no but no backpack either.

Remember the further direct chat goes the further people can pinpoint your location from. In my suggestions thread (link below) i recommended whisper , talk, shout modes like Ravin mentioned above. Also linked to another thread about this stuff. Combine that with radio communication options and we are golden.

Honestly I have a Barret. And in practical terms its not much different to a DMR or even a CZ550. The draw view distance in Dayz is limited by the haze. And all of those weapons will put a target down in one shot most of the time. The DMR also is the only sniper rifle that can be used with NVG and the ammo is plentiful. The Barret has more disadvantages than advantages I think. For one it turns you into a walking radio mast. Think your hidden ? Nope there's a 6ft long gun sticking out of the bush your hiding in. And its insanely loud.

We were discussing just this the other day and I remembered this thread. Thought Id give it a bump, that fog looks ace.

Ok so If I shoot a guy , he falls to the ground bleeding. Then disappears, ie logs off. I see I have a murder. There are flies around the spot, but no body. Does this mean he escaped death? Or he died but denied me his loot ?

Accidently clicked rearm at our jeep and it deleted my Byzon SD. Just a warning to anyone tempted to click the delete primary weapon button. Be nice if the option was removed, along with the eject (suicide) button when ur in a vehicle. Sometimes lag makes u click the wrong one. While we are on the subject be nice if the respawn button was a bit further from the other options ;)

I def agree with this sentiment. There are some issues in the game , but none of the RPG type solutions you see OVER and OVER again are going to cut it. Dayz is something new. Its harsh and unforgiving. People don't seem to realise that this is what makes it so enjoyable. You neuter the game you take the fun out of it. I've said it before the people suggesting things like this are exactly the sort of people that would complain if Dayz had no perma death and someone suggested it. "No fucking way i've worked really hard to get all my stuff i don't want to lose it " etc. But its precisely that mechanic that makes the game game so compelling and has drawn everyone here in the first place, people need to embrace that and let go of their gaming preconceptions.

Is it supposed to delete your primary weapon permanently from the game , forever ?

I think one of the problems is that they will become more common .... eventually. As players die and get looted an other players find them. The other problem is that its generally douches that have them as they are the ones more likely to server hop to farm them or get some from hacking. Possibly the suggestion I saw elsewhere of shots damaging equipment would stop that gradual increase of good loot in the game ? Or maybe equipment wear and tear. Also stop them working with the Sniper Rifle ?

Added a bunch of new bugs I've found in the latest build. And a few new suggestions, all in the OP of course.

Someone is playing the wrong game ;)

It may be in a specific case. Depending what in the storage , but it def deleted my best gun. Like if u take a torch when you have a hand gun you loose your hand gun. I think the take option should also go. Just have the "gear" option.

They seem much more common now, found 3 since the patch. The loot also seems to be much better. One had m14, 2 x byzon SD, Barret 50 cal, and a FAL. All with ammo. My team mate just found one with a Byzon as well.

Id like to see small falls giving you a sprain = limp but still walking, cured by morphine. Serious accidents a break. Maybe needs morphine and a splint ? Or maybe painkillers for a sprain and still morphine for a break. Same for zombie attacks.

Its hard to judge this without a bigger sample as luck is such a factor. Some days I can only find things I don't need, others days I find a sweet setup in 10 minutes.

This is a real bugbear for me. This and crawling down steps killing you makes things feel pretty unfair sometimes.

You guys are so tedious.

I like this idea. Fair enough If Vipeax says it wont happen. But what if the game reads the mic volume and transmits a generic "speech" sound. A sort of garbled talking that doesn't say anything but has the correct positional / audio position. If that person presses direct chat it becomes their ungarbled voice.

Can I have your stuff? oh wait you haven't got any lol

Less bear Grylls he's a ponce, Ray Mears knows what he's talking about :p

I died last night and lost my goodies, but luckily my teammate was there and drove all my stuff to pick me up in our car. Within 10 minutes I had all my stuff back. In fact it was as if i never died at all. This got me thinking, about Dayz and it's perma death paradigm. Every-time someone moans or suggests something on the forum you see a barrage of "man up its a survival game" etc . But of course it isn't a hardcore survival game with perma death , if you have buddies , teamspeak, some tents etc. Your character, YOU are immortal and persistent. When you die all you lose is a little time and some stats. You run straight back to your friends and they greet you as the same person. So in reality you don't actually start from scratch. Once you are established on a server you are no longer (AS) mortal. Now this isn't necessarily an idea I think would be fun or good for the game but i thought I would throw it out there for discussion. What if when you died you were blocked from the server you died on for a certain amount of time. So you HAD to start afresh on a different server and build up new relationships etc, as if you really were a new survivor. You see im not convinced all this clan stuff is really good for the game as a whole. I know people want to play with their mates and horde all the good stuff in fortified camps. But there are a few issues , those ive described above. But also the more you achieve in the game and the more time and effort you put into it the more frustrating the game becomes, when you actually set yourself a goal to achieve , like "repair this vehicle" or "get 5 of us to meet up in so and so town" the game becomes pretty hard work. The best fun I have in the game is treating each life like a stand alone adventure. Getting some good gear, surviving for a while. Dying in some hilarious way and starting again. Like i say im not sure this actually a good idea, I mean working with your buddies all on TS is good fun as well. I just wonder if it would be truer to the spirit of the game if you have to find new friends to work with and couldn't just go back and get all your stuff straight after dying and carry on as if nothing had happened.

I think stopping someone from playing for 8 hours is a bit much. How about my suggestion. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10366
