I like the idea of a weapon misfiring or wearing out. I read in the forums that hardcore players want more realism, this would add to that. Imagine lining up that perfect sniper shot and... click.

What to do on skalisty island?
islandjack1 replied to Thundirah's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I swam there to go "Lord of the Flies" but nothing had spawned in any of the buildings and I died of dehydration next to the water pump. -
I had just ate and drank and I was full when I logged off the server after playing for a few hours. {Thanks for the beans Azlum] When I logged back in to play again after 2 days, I had all my gear but my hunger and thirst meters were flashing red. also, I had 3 rounds left in a 1911 and when I logged in I had 7. Do you get hungry/thirsty while logged off/disconnected?

Get hungry/thirsty when disconnected.
islandjack1 replied to islandjack1's topic in New Player Discussion
Probably what happened. The gear thing ruined my initial plan of heading for the island and going all "lord of the Flies". I'll get killed eventually and that is the plan. I met a friendly guy just after I spawned to, so I have met more good guys than bandits so far. can't wait to explore more of the map than the coast. -

islandjack1 replied to islandjack1's topic in New Player Discussion
Not sure but even more bizarre, I died, respawned and had all the equipment in the game, .50 cal supressed m4, night vision, supressed pistol 6 mags for each, ghillie suit and a backpack full of meds and food. Then as I was going along the dock a car appeared next to me and was drive-able!! I don't know what to do. I ran to the woods to practice with the equipment I never had before and then logged off. I hope I have the stuff when I come back. My guess is a hacker, but a benign one.! -
I would say that the game magnifies personality traits that are already there. Adversity reveals character.

I won't kill except in self defense. Have met others at night when we were the only two or three on the server and we teamed up, I traded ammo for beans. What are the odds of the only three players on the map meeting in the same barn at the same time? They never talked back to me but we commo'd through direct channel and worked together. I'd rather kill infected and work together. That is the REAL challenge.
-
Is it possible to have non-player vs player servers designated for those of us who want to unite against the Z's instead of just killing each other for cans of beans? Maybe these already exist and I can't find one? I understand that there are several online games of this type that do that.
-
I usually play on the US 1338 server, If I see you there, I'll give you a salute and a can of beans. Player name Nhan [stupid but I can't figure out how to change it, last guy who owned the computer's name]

Servers with no PVP, for those to kill just Z's

I'd like to see it impossible to shoot unarmed players
islandjack1 posted a topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I'd like to see it be impossible for another player to kill an unarmed player. Give a new guy a chance to find some stuff before killing them instantly with a sniper rifle just after they have spawned. Also, lets have other areas for spawning like around the north or west side of the map in the woods. -

islandjack1 replied to islandjack1's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
That "ridiculous". I guess every idea that you don't agree with is "ridicules". If everyone said the same thing this would be a boring forum. Also, what is QQ-ing? Not up on text/nerd speak. Couldn't the poster have expressed himself without the swearing? That was my point. -
There should be shoes in the game that wear out eventually and you have to find ones. Make shoe wearing quieter than bare foot.

SHould have shoes as spawnable,lootable item
islandjack1 replied to islandjack1's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
OK, still that a lot of running on one pair of shoes. Wow am I stupid, didn't even think of that, so glad there are people out there correcting us dumb people. Thanks again Cherio! -
Same thing happened to me, I was sneaking up on a town, then suddenly, me and all the local zombies flew up in the air about 1000 M, we all fell back breaking legs in the middle of a plain, [off map] inn it took forever to die. I put a small handle on the W key to start crawling then went and practiced my guitar for an hour before dying, what the F***. Also came across a blue chemlight floating in mid air in the ROG castle room near the entrance while playing at night. The ghost of Rocket perchance?

islandjack1 replied to islandjack1's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I've never seen a set of boots that can go 225 KM without wearing out. That's one side of the map to the other. -
Yay, Bandit and Hero identifiers are coming in
islandjack1 replied to tuleg1t's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I like the idea. Hate the KoS thing. Maybe killing large numbers of Zeds would help the hero thing. My humanity face is gone from the screen, how do I know how much humanity I have/Don't have? -

Servers with no PVP, for those to kill just Z's
islandjack1 replied to islandjack1's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Who is Rocket? I presume a designer? Anyway, I give up. I'll play an hour or two a week when I have time from the real world's demands and just keep getting killed the minute I enter a barn that some schmoe is guarding as his personal property. -
just got killed after 3 hours of gameplay
islandjack1 replied to lonewolf12's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
3 hours is way above the curve, congrats! I've never even seen a rifle. Every deer stand I come across has been looted or has a Z under it that gets free and chases me. -
I saw it to. Flames to the right, helicopters gunning down players to the left, tried to crawl through cherno and Z got me...... wasted time.

Soldier Blackburn, Thank you for your service to this country. In this game, everyone is a jerk and will kill you for fun, even if you don't have anything to loot. Trust no-one but guys you know to team up with. The take one for the team lesson you learned in the service means nothing here. I WILL NOT shoot another player unless he is shooting at me, but I am a rare bird. Thank you again for your service to our country. Stay safe. -Scott

Recruit/Regular/Veteran/Expert difficulties
islandjack1 replied to RadikulRAM's topic in New Player Discussion
I've encountered every variation on recruit regular and veteran. Try to play recruit mostly because the game is too hard. -
Servers with no PVP, for those to kill just Z's
islandjack1 replied to islandjack1's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Can't we separate the servers and you lose your loot if you go back and forth? I thought you genius programmers could do anything. Those who like the PVP can stay, others can go to PVE. Or maybe something like the recruit servers. Some sort of practice area. It's always a better business idea to give the customer more choices. I would buy a commercial version of the game faster if it had this option. Just sick of the sniper rifle types that just shoot because they can.
