For the good of the game: everything needs to breakdown!
BossFi posted a topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Items and weapons that last forever will kill the gameplay. Rare items will become more common as times goes by. Example: 1 Player picks up rare item. He gets killed and looted while another rare item spawns in the world. Now 2 players have that rare item, eventually everyone you loot will have that same rare items. Once you have nice loot, there is no reason to find heli crashes or go back to supermarkets for a box of matches etc.Also new spawns just need to kill another player because he is more likely to have all the tools and other stuff you need. No reason to loot buildings for that special loot. I suggest: As examples (which can be expanded for other gear) Anything that takes batteries runs out after so many hours of use and has to be thrown away, cannot replace batteries! (need a battery life indicator) Box of matches: used up after 50 uses. (need uses left bar) Weapons breakdown from wear and tear (need health bar)- 35 replies

I gave up with public servers and joined a private hive. Private hive was down so I joined a public server (which i havent played on for 2 weeks) and within 10 mins everybody died from a hacker. So i agree public servers are pointless playing on. At least on a private server the admin can just rollback the database a few hours so hackers cant affect your character.

BossFi replied to BossFi's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
NVG's are a rare item and to keep them rare they need to break themselves. Replacing batteries defeats the purpose of rare items. If batteries are made rare then they won't be enough for the common items like a torch. Same with rare weapons, they should degrade, not fixable otherwise everyone will have them still. -
Unconscious by 1 hit by Zed nearly every time!!!
BossFi posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Whenever you have around 9k blood a zombie hits me and I go unconscious. This is happening so many times this must be broken. What is the point letting a zed knock you uncouncious anyway? Your dead if that happens no matter how much blood you have left. May aswell just kill me with 1 hit instead of waiting for the countdown. Stupid mechanic doesnt add anything. -

BossFi replied to BossFi's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The point is: when ur knocked out by a zed, your already dead!!! So what is the point, may as well be a one hit kill. The outcome is both the same except one is instant and the other has a countdown of blood loss while zed finishes you off. -
Went prone next to my tent and I broke my bones, bleeding and uncouncious. Say no more!

Did anyone else pronounce it as Day-Zee at first?
BossFi replied to Rising (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Day Zee sounds gay like Daisy (the flower) I prefer Day Zed and I will always refer to it as that regardless! -
Taking away even more access to our servers?
BossFi replied to Soujyo's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I understand the restrictiions for the benefit of the game but if all servers are now going to be the same (can't ban disconnectors, exploiters, hackers) then there aint gonna be any decent admin'ed servers to play on. -
How to use tents without them glitching away items?
BossFi replied to Langdal's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Safe way I use works ever time: Place new tent, save then wait for server restart, then put your loot in and save. -
Such an Immature suggestion!
-
Players with fast computers but running the game on low settings to remove grass so players can be seen even if your hiding in grass has been a problem in other games, not sure if it effects this game. But I agree gfx can be exploited.

Global ban (NOT AN APPEAL) or complaint
BossFi replied to PotatoChip's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
He was global banned, NOT LIFETIME BANNED!! Nothing wrong with buying a new key! Get off your high horse FFS! -
WTF Why cant I dislike this idea? OMG there should be a dislike option!

Realistic? Remove the ability to respawn.
BossFi replied to steeve21's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
If you dont want to use the respawn option, then simply do not use it. Just because I use it doesnt make your game less realistic :rolleyes: -
Boats are pointless atm: - So slow that you can actually run faster. - Your temp drops while on a boat so need to get on land to warm up. - You cant eat food or drink or anything while on a boat so you always need to get off to do this. - Your a sitting duck for other players because you can't shoot back. - And they take more fuel than vehicles do to travel the same distance.
-
Where players spawn should be of no concern of yours watsover!!! You basically want to make the game easier for yourself and take all the loot from Cherno without having to deal with any respawning players?! :rolleyes:

Tool Proposal - Flare Gun - Reposted from General Discussion
BossFi replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Something is needed to light up a big area in pitch black and a flare gun would be just right as long as it stays in the sky for a few mins. I could have done with this when I needed to find an animal in pitch black. Very helpful for us guys without NVG's! -
Firearms Should Not Be The Main Instrumentality Of DayZ
BossFi replied to hoak's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
The shoot on site in this context means.... ... not having any time to do anything else apart from shoot when a player suddenly appears in front of you in point blank range. Nobody is going to risk walking around without a weapon in their hand, or start waving hankerchiefs in this situation. In experience those that pretend to be friendly (like waving hankerchiefs)who dont shoot on site with their feeble gun will kill you after you start looting for your shiny gun. So I dont trust those players either! -
Firearms Should Not Be The Main Instrumentality Of DayZ
BossFi replied to hoak's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
This is exactly why friendlies are shooting friendlies on site. Your suggestion of waving hankerchiefs doesnt work as your already dead. The only valid option to fix this is to let players who want to advertise they are friendly by letting them choose to wear a friendly skin. And to stop griefers exploiting this, it should only be wearable by players who have high humanity. -
You can't punish Bandits that are playing the game how it is supposed to be played (like killing players for their loot). Then you will argue that they are killing for fun. Well now your talking about griefers not Bandits! :rolleyes:

Pro tip: swim back to shore on server UK 26, that's what I do. Seems like that's the only server that's has the enabled fix for losing items when swimming. Fix is mentioned in the beta which looks like a server option that needs enabling.

Can't see character in 3rd person. Due to camo?
BossFi replied to catch_22's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Your invisible to other players. So enjoy until a hot fix comes out! -
The "What items did you lose?" thread
BossFi replied to Mad Z's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I am attached to what I lost - my body!! -
Funny how you guys accept placing a tent through the trunk of a tree is acceptible, yet not being able to access it isnt? Hypocrits!

Probably only gonna be exploiters and hackers left to alpha test this game if it carries on!
