    Experienced survivors (?)

    You can see that the first guy who replyed asked about this, I set 50 hours for the first point (that`s ingame surviving) And how to prevent people from just logging and "leeching" that`s where the other requirements come in, so you can`t just log and sit one place and get feats. But not sure about the time, 50 hours to much or to little? And ALL requirements need to be filled to be able to choose a skill, if you spent 50 hours surviving you get 1 point, you can`t place that in driving unless you have driven for 10 hours +. Some of the feats you can just "do" like collect alot of cans and eat them. But you still have to have 50 hours of surviving, in 50 hours chances are you already eat alot of canned food as long you play normal. Some feats like crossbow require that you use the crossbow, but that`s the least you can do :) I am not sure this came across clear enough in the main post after I read what BazBake wrote (who misunderstud much of the consept). Hope it is more clear now. This is what I ment, perhaps I articulatet myself badly here (english is not my main language) Fixed the first aid, removed the bandage weapon feat, replaced with blood transfusion. And made bandage a little different, it does not heal, but become more efficent and stop further bleedning better. I am not sure about adding to much rng i.e. having bandages work sometimes. Pisses people off :) /agree. A great suggestion and I agree, not sure about the slow regenration of blood, could make pople stay logged in when they want to take a break if low on blood? But eating should restore at a rate and not right away. And I have added your suggestions to my main post, just tell me if I got something wrong :) Cheers.

    Exactly, that`s why you need 50 hours of online game time to get your first "point" or skill\feat. That is true, but how often do you run around with 12 000 hp ? I am often under, and in a pvp fight one bullet, one hack with an axe, one shot from a hand gun and you are way below the "immune" border. I think it`s kinda unrealistic that a healty person with 12 000 blood points can take one single punch and then go to the ground stay there and bleed out. But I see where you are going with this, it might be an edge in pvp, but you would have to go for 4 points here leaving only 2 points in other feats. Hard to know if this one is overpowerd before you try. Seems like we agree on this one, added the steady aim so it would be worth going for. If you are in better shape you regain your resting pulse quicker, if you jog alot you know this :) Love the way you think about getting more fitness, slowly over time. But yeah, there must be a way to keep exploiters at bay here aswell. I did not know this, I don`t see it as a "problem" now, and did not think it needed "fixing". Eating beans give you blood? Ever seen a movie where the bad guy goes in to a room and using a pillow to silence his shot? Bah, maybe a bad example but this is a "make shift" world, you use things you got. I can see by your post so far that you are far from an asshole :) and I thank you for the constructive critisism. As of now the blood bag gives you full blood no matter what blood you are at. So you think it should not give full blood to begin with ? If so, I agree! Great idea :) Loving this idea aswell, mind if I add them ? (Will credit you for them) I hope he does implement this :) Great ! You got the point of my suggestion. Again thanks for reading and replying.

    Actually been thinking alot about this myself. If they remove the respawn it will be too easy, if they don`t they just pile up forever and ever (is it even possible to clear something, other then small sites like heli crash or deer stands?) I think it could be fun if they introduce diffrent types of zombies who have diffrent behavior, dmg and hitpoints. like with the military zombies only expand that idea. And maybe also set a limit for how many will spawn so you can clear for while and actually use your gun in a town. (now that is just silly). A police zombie could have more hitpoints and do more dmg to you, and there could be places that you should avoid due to the zombies in that area. Cheers :)

    Feel like I have to defend the "realistic" argument :) Gave my backpack to my girlfriend and asked her to pack it, she could fit about 50% of what I needed. In the Royal Norwegian Special Forces you actually pack and empty your backpack on the floor to learn how to pack it quick and efficient. If I used a crossbow I might learn how to use it :) And how to do more dmg with it as a result of that. Perhaps I tie the bolts togheter and hang them outside my backpack? When I was younger I had no idea how to drive economicly, I learned how to do that aswell. If you run you get fit :) Run from zombies and guess what... I think you will run faster and longer. Have you eaten a can of beans? It is alot of liquid in that can, at first you might not even eat that, but after a while, when a bug seems delicious you will put your tounge down that can :) (cats can survive longer without food because they get the fluids they need in food, just a fun fact) Sure, not everything is "realistic" but it`s a game after all, I love simulations and I like that it is harder than the normal arcade game. But we need to draw the line at some point. Change a tire in 10 sec, fix an engine in 20 sec and so on? Break a leg, take morphine and the leg is not broken anymore, ehm... well.... Things already in the game. I am just saying that we have to tolerate some "unrealistic" things in games. The reason why I "defend" against your argument is not to be rude, but simply because realism is a thing that is taken in consideration when making the suggestion. Most of the feats are pretty "down to earth" and doable. Not to fancy or gamebreaking. Anyway, thanks for reading and replying :)

    I was thinking you loose you "playtime" when you die. So in one life. But the time and feats are very, what do you say, "unpolished" so the numbers might (should) be altered. What do you think a reaonable time for learing the first feat? About the bandage silencer :) too good, too bad or just a lame idea? (just want to know) Thanks for reading.
  6. Hehe, true :) Not everyone likes beeing "profiled" you know :) and you said a few things that made no sense yourself. "Jeaolus of his succsess" considering his "succsess" was collecting 10 cars, witch is according to your logic just as easy as finding one, it just takes more time :) Fair enough, they do take some strange dmg sometimes and not much to do about it. I will give you this :) Good point, but when one guy have 10 vehicles it kinda makes him the duck in the crosshair of most players ingame, all the time. Let`s hope something is being done with the fragile state of vehicles. Cheers :)
  7. Hoarding vehicles on a server makes the server lack vehicles, so if someone see you they will shoot, no matter what. Why? Because you have all the vehicles. And why would anyone be jelaous on some random guy on a board? Not even on the same server :) I could not give a rats ass what people on a server I am not on do. Hiding 10 vehicles is just as easy as hiding 1 ? It just takes more time ? Well, becoming a body builder is easy, it just takes time. Learning to fly a plane is easy, it just takes more time then learning to drive a car. Everything is easy, some things just takes more time. Well... kinda depends on how you define "easy" :) The long argument between the two of you is prob better to just keep between you, don`t see any "winners" there anyway. But when op asked a question Edward b gave one answer. "Don`t hoard vehicles", while this might not be the best answer, it`s something he can actually do. Hoarding most of the vehicles on a server will make you a "wanted" survivor. Why? Because you have something everyone else wants in a game where killing is the main point. Your answer to op was: and not even to the op, but to the guy providing another answer. And your suggestion was: "Problem: Vehicles in the game get destroyed too easy and it has been mentioned by, Rocket." -> so... how to fix this, ah, that`s right you can`t :) "Solution: You stop being so jealous you can't find a vehicle." -> I know this is not a "serious" solution, but come on! When you start of like this it`s kinda strange to hop right up on your high horse 2 posts lower down. Why would he be jealous? He is not even on the same server. And to top it of: "I don't even know this guy, but I'm not going to be a whiny bitch about his success." But you whine about vehicles not beeing able to take dmg ? So whine about stuff you can`t fix ? nah, I would rather shoot the guy hoarding 10+ vehicles and steal one :) Do you honestly blame someone for thinking you where trolling? You seem like a smart guy (assumption), can you seriously say that you where not "fishing" for an argument? But over to what the op asked :) When I find a vehicle I find myself as a target aswell, but it makes sense. You are easy to spot, you make alot of noise, and you have a freakin car ! You can`t do much about the cars, they don`t take dmg well (some better then others as said in the post already) and invisible barriers are a bitch, sure. Slowing down ALOT seems to help, and staying out of towns, driving around them. But I can`t help thinking I am "Preatching to the choir" here. If you have 10 cars you prob already know about these tips. If not I hope they helped :) Best regards.
  8. I have tried finding a good norwegian server, but it seems like the private owned servers all resett every now and then and end up resetting everything. Tent`s are gone cars are back in place with same old repair needed. I have found some game communities that run servers in norway but they all play on gmt +1 so when you come home from work you have 1-2 hours and it`s total blackness on the server. Don``t get me wrong darkness can be fun and has it`s own charm, but it would be fun to see a little bit of Cherno aswell :) So anyone know about a good norwegian server that is not private owned ? Best regards.

    Defibulator

    Just wanted to pop in and say that I like this idea, seems fairly tought through. And I belive this will only increase the gaming experince for everyone, can`t see why not. (atleast with all the required stuff and the difficulty) Could perhaps add: "People who have been resesitated can not be used a de-fib on for xxx amount of time" /agree to the idea :)
  10. Curtis19 I was actually answering the opening post where he complained: and I quote: "So after just being murdered for the 10th time by someone with a AS50 that was a top the large industrail building in Cherno" That`s why I said what I did. I though that was pretty obvious :) ?

    Not shooting an unarmed survivor...

    Done this MANY times. myself. You felt like a hero? Yet you where not rewarded? Seems to me like you just described someone who is NOT a hero. "Yay I did not shoot an unarmed man trying to survive in the same zombie apocalypse hell as myself, now give me a medal" Wanting a reward for common courtesy does not seem very "heroic" in my mind :) Best Regards.
  12. To be honest it seems to me that you have justed been snipet in a big city an went right for the forums. Suggestions made in anger after a rage quit might not be the best ones. I HATE snipers myself, but it`s a part of the game and I work around it. That way it adds flavour to the game instead of anger (sure I get angry) This game is easy enough already, the snipers in the cites keeps me on my toes. And I could choose to be one myself, only reason why I am not a sniper is that it require a little more to keep me entertained then laying on a rooftop thinking I "own" others :)

    Norway 13/11 - Hacked weapons

    Last night a group of players just got killed on Norway 13. I was walkning in an open field when I just fell over and died. I saw serveral other "xxx where killed" like 8 -10 people at the same time.
  14. Hello everyone. Fairly new to this, (but we all are in a way, since it`s new) played for about 2 weeks before I made an account on the forum. In those 2 weeks I have played with about 15- 20 of my rl friends, we all have one thing in common, none of us have EVER seen a vehicle (that we could interact with). So my question is how is the Mechanics behind this? I know you can save vehicle on a server and it will stay on that server. But is it like in bf where when a vehicle is "in use" it can not spawn new ones? If there are only a few vehicles I am sure people who spend more time ingame then in rl will just camp these and keep them to themselfs for the rest of the game, leaving us searching the entire map for nothing? I can`t belive we have just been "un-lucky". As I said 15 - 20 rl friends, playing about 2 weeks now, a few hours every day, everyone searching for vehicles (and other stuff ofc). I just wanted to know this so I could stop searching if it`s pointless. Best Regards.

    Add Bears to forests

    /agree. I like this idea :)
  16. Been playing enough to know all about the map and the spawn points. The first few Dayz (see what i did there, hehe) I did not use the map, to see how it was, but after finding alot of gear I wanted to progress abit and started using the map on DayZdb. But the math speaks for it self, 15-20 people playing a few hours every day for 2 weeks using maps and looking around spawn points NEVER ever seeing a single vehicle. But I guess people who have a car already just drive around and round up the rest and just save them in a camp or something. But thanks for the answer anyway. Best Regards.

    When you die, do you keep your Ghillie suit?

    Ah, I see. Thanks for quick and good answers. Best regards.

    When you die, do you keep your Ghillie suit?

    I can just ask here instead of making a new thread. Is it possible to loot a Ghille suit of other players? Killed one who was wearing a suit but was unable to find it in the backpack or on the char. Best regards.
  19. Meats could and should perish imo. Not so sure about tyres, gaskets and so on, mainly because I have played this for about 2 weeks now (a few hours every day) and I have NEVER EVER seen a vehicle of any sort. Not even a bicycle, and yes I have been around spawn points many times. So if I after a very long time finally got a vehicle of some sort just to have the tyres pop I would prob just log of and find another game. The Meat perish thing was a good suggestion !
