i think i have contacted dyslexia

ditch the payday masks and replace them with a variety of lootable tactical beard attachments

I just want a big foot or something wondering the forests of the north, terrifying lone wolf players

I get what you are saying, say you are coming up to a little town up in the NE where there aren't that many people. You get this bandit alarm, so you assume there is probably a bandit going through that little town you are approaching. Meanwhile the bandit gets no warning while he thinks he is alone in this little town. This creates a pretty large disadvantage to the bandit as you would be prepared to find someone, in effect it turns you into the hunter

the box is just a box, there isn't actually ammo in it

I think there should be some subtle indication to how the player plays, but if you're able to identify bandits at 500m, whether with a heart beat or with bandit clothes, that gives them a stark disadvantage. I think the whole heart beat thing is to prevent you from meeting up with a random player then turning your back and getting murdered, thats why the distance is so low. It isn't really there to prevent or deter KoS. It is a balancing issue on how large to make that distance, but i think the whole heart beat thing when making direct visual contact is a good subtle way of telling what kind of player they are

The idea you purpose isn't terrible and clearly you put some thought into it, but it will never work in this game. Dayz is about freedom, that every player starts the same as the other. Choosing a class like bandit or survivor in which the way you play the game will be affected by that choice goes against that freedom. The karma system can never have such a serious consequence such as after 3-4 kills as a survivor you die. Plus having a bandit detect system would never be implemented as it gives an esp warning that would be completely unrealistic. Besides, people like to change their play style as they get better geared or as their familiarity with the game progresses. My character has been alive since the character wipe with the second patch, since then ive killed a dozen or so players since i got bored, but then i wen't and started helping new spawns. I feel that your system would rely too heavily on the player sticking to a play style.

As much as i enjoy killing virtual babies or using them as zombie bait, if we arent gonna be adding guns for realism, idk how realistic it is to find a stray baby lying around in a zombie apocalypse

I'm saying that KoS and the threat of being shot by another player is just a big a part of the game as zombies. Regardless of how much content is added to keep people busy there is always going to be KoS. Short of making a safe zone there is always going to be some guy who immediately goes for a gun then just starts hunting people.

When I new spawn in, i run to balota and hide in the grass near the military tents. I wait for a geared player to come by and look in those tents. When i see that he is looting i run in and punch him to death and take his stuff. So don't say you stand no chance when there are geared players at balota

Hey wait, Zoidberg is a doctor! eat any rotten bananas maybeee?

Your hit from that Zed probably scratched you and got infected? Im not sure if that is actually implemented yet, but take a painkiller and use an alcohol tincture to clean your wounds

The Barn type buildings and hunter towers dont have loot in them yet. also the volume of water held in the canteen/water bottle are off by like a few orders of magnitude as 10mL max is basically a few drops of water

KoS isn't a "problem" its not even a built in game-play mechanic, its a social tendency that evolved from the freedom given to us in the game. If you're going to complain about KoS or even consider it a problem you might as well ask Rocket to get rid of the zombies

Well, according to the US Justice system, i cant....thanks obama

i like to hide on top of hospitals and fire stations, generally they are pretty safe as noone ever thinks to look on roofs

yea i think the zombie aspect attracts a younger crowd who associate it with crap like COD zombies ect. It takes a certain type of gamer to fully appreciate a game like Dayz or arma. usually it is a more mature person who can process the sheer volume of information given to you in the game like all the items and the crap you can make with them, also different rifles, calibers, zeroing ect. Anyway, teens mistakenly get this game and don't really comprehend the big picture of it Like Dayz isnt as technical as arma2 or 3, but i still wouldn't really recommend it or any other arma type game to anyone under 17 or 18

I think its cause this game wasn't built on Arma 3, i miss my sitting down/prone :(

im happy you wasted your money to fund a project that i will eventually be enjoying

how about some pics.....for science

Why are you raging so hard about restarts? Just wait until you're flying a chopper that took you weeks to get parts for and the server restarts while you're in the air

I like when you used to kill people and the audio glitch would happen where their chat would broadcast to the whole server so you could hear their rage

btw i dont think your gear will transer from a dev server to non dev server or vice versa

Looks like it comes with a bayonet

Anyone else get the feeling that the servers will shit themselves when they start putting in hordes?
