Raged

I'm still waiting for the Axe of Karma to come down on me in DayZ. But so far nothing. When it does though, it will be loud. I'm really hoping the magic K can forgive all the cows I've murdered.

I'm with you on this part. If I hadn't been so pleased with the mod, I'd need proof of awesomeness first.

Unique. Can't say I'm not interested in the idea. When it comes to adding real-world items and possibilities to Dayz, I'm rarely against it. :beans:

Knowing the mod is strictly a mod, the fact that it's becoming its own entity will keep me enthused until release day. Screens or none. Although those ones earlier in the week were quite sexy.

Beans for productive first post :beans: As for the idea, I have no knowledge of game engines, but this is definitely something I'd enjoying witnessing/experiencing for myself.

You quoted me w/o even addressing anything I said. :thumbsup:

The very fact that you're rewarded is an incentive to play one way. It doesn't matter how you say it but the fact remains that one play style having benefits while others don't isn't "balanced" as you originally stated things should be. There was a great thread posted concerning the down turn of a "Shoot first, ask questions later" play style, in which someone stated that the enhanced medical system and the possible mortality of one gun shot wound, would in fact make you want to stop and talk before killing someone and risking you or your parties own safety. If a firefight I survived still killed me later because I failed to dodge a bullet to the knee, I'd definitely think before firing in any given situation. Morality in a Zed infested world is a crippling burden when it comes to personal preservation IE This IS a Survival game. You shouldn't hold back benefits from one player because they refuse to shoot themselves in their foot. (figuratively) And no, I'm not a bandit. I'm a woodsman. But you know what they say about assuming.

You're forcing a playstyle on players if there's a benefit to one and no benefit to another. Your opinion on a survivor created justice system is correct, it would be difficult, but that's exactly what Rocket has stated he wants. The aim of having Dayz as an Arma mod was the fact that it would be the most realistic zombie survival mod at the time. If what you're looking for is character progression and a rewards system, then WarZ is the direction you want to go. Dayz is supposed to be realistic as possible. It isn't about pandering to general audiences, but instead the community who helped it get where it is today.

Why, exactly, do bandits need to be punished? Edit: Are loner survivors/woodsmen going to be punished with randomly falling trees? And do the "good" survivors get better gear for being "good"? Elaborate on how this occurs in reality, please.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/86294-wilderness-survival-aspects/ I have to advertise my own post here because of the fact I've gone into detail, and this is generally part one of my original post. Search function currently broken though so its understandable.

I posted about this awhile back, but it got buried relatively quickly. Went a little in-depth with the construction aspect if you want to check it out. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/86294-wilderness-survival-aspects/ Totally supporting this idea. :beans:

I don't believe he said "I think we will." I'm pretty sure he said, "It IS being completely revised." Fair enough. I just got off work, kind of edgy. My bad.

Does literally nobody read what Rocket says anymore? F-n A.

Did literally nobody in this thread see that Rocket explicitly said the Medical System is being completely redone?

I'll give this a chance and try to help. At least I'll be there for the fireworks/satchel explosions.

Title above profile picture (Scavenger, heli hunter, bean king, etc.) should be based on beans you've been given by others, not post count. It feels odd to see a so-called "bean king" posting in the format of: "OMG so lame, go die noob" Anyone with me on this? (If this has been discussed or doesn't belong here, please delete/move)

Beans for profile pic alone. The video was sweet too.

False. He'll survive longer than anyone that is more concerned with 'other' people's safety,

This. But as far as server moderation goes, I'm only a player, not a host, soooo....I dunno.

Which is what giving beans is for. Do you not understand the idea? Posting the same comment 300 times to become Bean King doesn't give you the right to the title. Having 300 people give you beans is. Sorry I had to elaborate a little more on the concept for you.

If your entire post is going to be sarcasm, don't waste the finger strength.

Wait, so are you asking to write the story? Or are you suggesting Rocket completely uses Pye's novel as the base explanation? I have no idea who Pye is.

Google translator will work wonders for you. Even if it doesn't get it perfect I'd understand it better. As for your idea, maybe. Rocket has stated we will get more insight into the plague but he hasn't specified how yet. This could be a vehicle for that information.

Even in small communities the circle of life exists. The strong beat on the weak until the weak become the strong. Trying to be moral about it is limiting survivability. Just my opinion though. Not saying yours is wrong/invalid.

You were rewarded with loot, what's the problem?
