The zombie types are good and will probably come about eventually anyways. The others enforce a certain style of play' date=' which is never cool. A spawn penalty for killing players is absurd. If there is going to be a spawn penalty (something I very much want), it needs to be [i']across the board. You die, you wait, regardless of what kind of player you are. It doesn't force a play-style, but it does force you to deal with the consequences. Griefers can still grief, carebears can still care. I do like the idea of finding weapon parts, but how would that be implemented? While something might be a cool idea, if it can't be done within the engine then there's no sense in suggesting it.

Drink your mtn dew immediately, or someone will kill you and not know what it is. There are some dicks in the world, and I seem to run into all of them.

Dat ass. His hand is a bit too small and the skull might be a bit too big. Not sure why you'd carry a skull/spine around though. Gonna make some soup?

Zombie upgrades: -Zombies no longer stop before hitting you. Instead, they can swipe at you at a run. --This makes runners much worse to deal with, since they don't pause and then miss. --To counteract runners becoming death-gods, reduce the spawn rate of runners and make the primary zombie type joggers. -Jogger zombies hit much harder than runners and replace the current runners in terms of spawn counts, however they run at a slower pace. OR -Zombies no longer stop before hitting you. Instead, they can swipe at you at a run. --This makes runners much worse to deal with, since they don't pause and then miss. --To counteract runners becoming death-gods, make runners only able to chase for a short time before slowing to a jogging speed. Also: -Zombies can "smell" players and will amble towards their general direction. --This makes them a threat since you can no longer just prone-crawl past them -Zombies are essentially blind and can only see somewhat during the day. Replace visibility with scent. --Scent increases as your stamina decreases (sweat) or you take damage (blood) and can be decreased by cleaning yourself off at water sources or using items. --The higher your scent, the farther zombies can smell you. --The more a zombie can smell you, the faster they walk towards you. -Zombie spawn rate is based on number of players nearby, and is generally reduced. --Instead, zombie dangerousness is greatly increased. -If a player is near a structure a zombie can spawn at, the zombie instead spawns outside of the area and paths toward where they would have spawned otherwise. This allows players to secure towns and stops zombies from popping into existence on people. Basically, zombies aren't a threat. DayZ has become deathmatch with some undead road-bumps. Make zombies a threat!

Really now? TIL

No, when was the last time you got close enough to someone else to be able to have any sort of interaction?

That.... Sounds like a fun idea.

Lol, I knew it was gonna happen, but yes! Amazing. We need a "hands up/surrender" thing :)

Original thread here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6849 since it doesn't look like many people read the Survivor HQ subforum. Idea is to set up a player-run item depot on the NW airfield. Loot everything from the airfield, stick it in a pile in the middle, and let people take what they want. I want some feedback. Anyone like the idea or want to try it?

If you're interested, toss me a PM. We need a TS or Vent or whatever. If you've already expressed interest, check your PMs.

Edit: Really, all it hinges on is if we can communicate. If anyone wants to participate and has a TS server, we can go tonight.

Thanks! I do wish you luck with organizing this and hope to see a "Publik's Arms Exchange" in a server soon. Hopefully a better identification mechanic is introduced so people who are on a shit list can be recognized from a distance. Eh, for someone to get on the shit list they have to attack us first. Once they respawn, they gotta hoof it back, so any items they have on return will be minimal. I like the name though :P Had another project, and someone suggested the name "Publik Housing".

Serious. I'm heading towards NW as you lurk. Got spawned on the E coast for some reason.

Which is why I need people acting as security. Even if one person goes down' date=' the rest of the people then know that something's up. As long as there aren't 20 open slots on the server, a huge group of people en masse can't get in. Additionally, even if a bandit manages to kill 3 or 4 people, they can just spawn back and get to the field again. Bandit attacks? Kill him. Put [i']his loot in the pile. Bandit plays nicely? He gets some better gear and can go on his way. I respect a real bandit, IE a player that survives* by killing other players. I don't respect these TDM kiddies who just kill other players for the hell of it. *key word

Oh, being a bandit is fine. Being an asshole isn't. It's clear here that the latter is what's being so vocal. Crashing this party serves absolutely no purpose. Letting it go on nets you more loot to do whatever you want with. You can walk in and take some more ammo and go to another server and kill all the noobs you can find. It's sad that these assholes are here to ruin yet another good thing.

I've been out there with my two friends. And so far against better judgement went out of our way and exposing ourselves from our hiding spot to kill off a horde after a guy, we don't fire first, and I give blood transfusions out as I find people who need them. My character hour wise has added up to about a week's worth of life. And I've only been out to do good. I'm sad they removed the humanity system for one reason. I was going for a high score in humanity. I was up to 6,000 Humanity when he got rid of the number. :c (( It's a lot harder to get it up than down. xD )) Lol. I'll be sure to PM you once I get this thing running.

Soon as I can stop replying to you and get my paper done, I'll be online. Sorry, DayZ is an anti-game. It's not supposed to be easy. But like I said, you're a big strong bandit with a super powerful gun. You can find little 'ol me, right?

None yet, college. I've got a paper and then we'll see if you can find me.

Know what? No. Fuck you guys. I'm gonna do this anyways. You're the vocal minority of shitty people the games industry has produced. Want to shoot me at 800+m with your DMR and do heli gunruns on the field? By all means, I welcome you to it. Gonna shoot me with your MP5SD? Come at me, bro. If you see me in-game my name is Jeff. I welcome the fucking challenge.
