So let me get this straight. If you have a bullet proof vest in real life, it doesn't protect you from pistol rounds?

Not really. Every hero I know and met is friendly, and alot of them are like me and medics. I have a legitimate 30k humanity and I know some other TMW members have upwards of 100k. And for the bullet proof vest, I haven't noticed that at all, but if you are trying to go around PvPing with a 9mm, you aren't a good enough bandit to deserve that kill. How many shots does it take to kill with 9mm? Around 13 or so? So a few extra shots shouldn't matter if you can already get 13 shots on the guy. Most of the heroes are going around, being actually friendly and helping people out; and dying a lot because of the fact that we don't kill other survivors, but for some reason they have no problem killing us. And you're complaining about a fucking vest that makes you fire a few extra rounds into a guy that probably isn't firing back?

I think the hunger, temperature, and thirst icons at least need to stay in. Sight and sound you don't really need, but it helps for the newer player. Blood, I'm not sure about.. The reason for this is that the game can only simulate real life so much. In real life, you know when you are cold and hungry, because you can feel it. In game, you can't and you have to rely on UI icons for it. I might not notice the sound of my stomach growling. Sometimes I have to play on a lower volume and I might not hear it. And if I'm sneaking around, I don't think it would be hard to mistake the sound for a zombie. For blood, I think there is an effective measure of how much blood you have just by the screen color, so I don't think it's necessary to have the icon, although it is helpful when I'm bleeding because for some reason I often don't see blood spurting out of me when the icon says I'm bleeding. I'm not sure why, probably a glitch but it is annoying. However, in removing these icons you are also upping the learning curve of the game, which is already insanely high to begin with. Removing these icons will give the player very little information and when a new player starts dying of hunger or has a cold, they likely won't know what's happening.

You are still missing the point. Rocket decided to put the AS50 in the game. I'm not sure if you are aware, but there are many weapons in Arma 2 that aren't in DayZ.

There are ways to counteract that. For example, you can disallow spawning inside that building, so they spawn in a predetermined area outside of it.

I can help you out, I'll call you on skype.

Time for another PSA... The only good idea up there was the Siberia map, and you stole it anyways from Hydra anyways.

Apartment building in Berezino. Drank it right away because I didn't know it was rare.

Don't use the "Go back to X", as you clearly don't understand what it means. This idea's relation to GTA is sketchy at best; in that there are gangs in this idea and gangs in GTA. That's about the extent of the similarities.

If you start losing blood and need anti-biotics, post on this thread that you need help and where you are. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3910-need-medical-assistance-we-can-help/ Someone on there will help you, although it might take a little longer than a simple blood transfusion because anti-biotics are the rarest of medical supplies and not all medics have them.

Must I post on one of your threads again? If anyone is unaware, our friend apache has posted essentially this same list of ideas about 600 times in the past week, and refuses to stop posting because he wants popularity for his (shitty) ideas.

They are hacked in. They are not in any of the DayZ loot tables, including heli crashes or in vehicles. If you found them, someone dropped them there. If you find and wear them, you can't get global banned but you can get server banned.

1. Haha. No. 2. I like how you don't know where you will spawn and you have to deal with the situation given to you. This would ruin that. 3. Probably the best idea of the three. It's hard to say whether it would work or not; for some reason I can't think of anything really gamebreaking about it except that it takes away from some of the authenticity of the game, but I won't disregard a decent idea just because of that.

Wait, what? How do you even follow your own logic? From what I can recall (and I did scroll up to check again), you said your suggestion was to make zombies more like zombies. He said that zombies are subject to their creator; some zombies are different so you cannot specifically say "Zombies act like this".

Wait a bit and try to send it again later. He's a popular guy; everyone sends him messages. He reads them pretty often so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

I was thinking along the lines of Spirit's post; pre-created underground areas like basements, cellars or shelters that can be customized and expanded.

:beans: for the ambition. Going to take alot of work and even more luck to get this project off the ground, but either way I want to see what happens. You may want to consider speaking and possibly allying to the Coalition, who has similar ideals and already has several hundred members backing it. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/73671-the-coalition-changing-the-culture-of-dayz/

Good idea, but I would like to see another way to obtain them because if killing people is the only way to get them, it just gives people even more of a reason to snipe and KoS.

Agreed, that guy seemed like a quack to me.

Appreciate the effort, but the only problem is if we consistently operate on a single server, bandits will be much more likely to find us. We could counteract this by asking patients not to post their location on the forum, and only in pm, but then often times the patient will be far away from the medic. Had he posted his location beforehand it's very likely that another medic was nearby and could have helped him sooner.

Go back to your precious bandit forum.

Dogs are being implemented into the game as followers, and they require food/water and likely make players with them more visible.

I Agreed. This game doesn't need a K/D ratio.

I guess it's just about the time of the week for this thread to start again...
