Yes. Tents DO work' date=' you just have to get to the place you want to pitch it and select 'pitch tent' repeatedly while moving slowly around the place. You will eventually find a spot where your character starts doing the animation and that's it. I know because I have 4 tents in 3 different servers ;) [/quote'] Yes this works most of the times, be careful though, sometimes the player will clip inside the tent resulting in broken bones, massive blood loss, pain etc. I learned this the hard way :) Wha??? Broken bones? That's freaking hilarious :D

Yes, that would stop new players, but what stops 'old' players from camping the coasts with ANY weapon and massacre them? The Makarov gives you a small chance to defend yourself.

One possiblity would be to make it 10 seconds for bodies to stay in game, and 20 - 30 seconds to be able to reconnect to the same server?

Yeah I know, that was a stupid suggestion. But what about hats? Lost of fucking Hats! Hundreds of them. This game is lacking HATS!

Holy fuck, Rocket is on genie mode, granting wishes... Ok so, eerrr, let me think... how about a cowboy skin?

Thanks a lot for this. I Once tested the 'persistence' of the infected chasing you and I provoked one of the crawling infected to follow me. After 10 minutes running non stop, he was out of my sight, so I stopped and waited on top of a hill. A few minutes later, I saw a small thing moving towards me and yes, it was him. So I just could think that I was fighting the most technologically advanced infected in the world using tracking devices and GPS :P

Been explained like 10 times in this thread. Mocap = Motion capture' date=' I.E. how you get animations to look realistic. [/quote'] I guess you are not very familiar with jokes and sarcasm which I can understand is not that easy to read :P Im assuming the motion capture only effects the animations themselves and will have nothing to do with the zig-zag motion of the zombies running at me right? Right. They will still teleport behind you to try to raep you, but with smoother and more human like moves :P

That don't explain anything, gee. Quit being such a lamer. You might be joking or trolling, but here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbjORNGoPS8 I don't understand what that has in to do in relation to anything. some person dancing around in a suit? FFS man. Someone (probably an experienced motion capture actor) did the NEW infected moves. This is, this guy's moves were recorded and will be implemented in the latest patch. That you see in the video is how motion capture sessions look like. Is it so difficult to understand?

WOW. Thanks a lot man' date=' pretty nice description. And a really WTF video. [hr']

:( Can't watch youtube at work. Someone describe the video pls :D

So it was you? :@ yep, same name :D

I have the latest Beta patch installed and none of the chats work for me. Nobody seems to be able to read what I write in the chats I have left (Group, Direct and Vehicle) So I don't 'try' to ask questions and to be nice anymore. I killed two players in Elektro yesterday and one more today in the north. No hesitating, no trying to find out if they are friendly or not, just shoot to kill. I was a nice guy trying to mind my own bussines and to get along with players I met in game but since I've been killed many times like I just killed those players, Mr. Nice Guy is dead.

I do that and I'm not a coward, I'm just fucking paranoid. I play/live in the north where it's usually really quiet, but if you cross in may way, I'm sorry but you are dead. I've seen many, many cases where some douche offers help, he's nice for a few minutes and then shoots the player/players he's playing with, just to write in the chat 'LOLOLOL, don't trust anyone, hurrrrrr'

Exactly, the 'You are playing it wrong, hurr' argument is stupid. Some people are just griefing and trolling. What is the point of playing for days, gathering stuff, only for an asshole to kill you after you've helped him? And yes, some people would get away with killing in a 'real' zombie apocalypse but, for how long? Would they be able to lie and kill absolutely all the survivors in the planet? That's not an easy thing to accomplish without repercussions, without people knowing that you are a killer. With a distintion between Survivors and Bandits, I would think of Dayz like The Lord of the Flies.

I'm totally in favor of the PVP element/Bandit system to stay, it's true that it adds something special to the game. But as I said before, in real life, you can get away with a few 'crimes' but if you keep doing it you build a reputation sooner or later. You trust someone and he kills you, and then he kilss 10 more people, that has to earn you some reputation, you can't go forever unknown doing bad shit to people.

The italian mafia is a term used to identify italian orginized crime, many different gangs or groups have existed and also gave birht to the american mafia groups, which are several. As for the 'lived happily ever after', are you telling me that NONE of the individuals involved in crime has ever been murdered or jailed? They don't have to watch their backs from the police and other gangs? People DO NOT know who they are or how do they look like? So we all know they exist, but nobody nas seen them or can identify them? So let's say Hitler is a Bandit. Would you not be able to recognize him if you find him in an abandoned super market? Just like criminals in real life can't get rid of their faces, appearence and reputation, neither should Bandits. These are the Bloods: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloods and they have a 'dress code', they wear Red clothes that identify them http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/rapdict%20org%20pueblo%20bishop%20bloods.JPG So let's say that these guys tell you "I'm in cherno and I'm friendly" would you get close to them to get some beans?

I made a post about this a few dayz ago (before the patch) but it's now buried. It was a suggestion on how to use the humanity system and to NOT remove the bandit skins. Why? In real life, the are consecuences and prices to pay for absolutely everything, some people call it Karma, some others call it Divine justice, and humans created their own laws and justice systems. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." "What goes araound, comes around", "Who lives by the swod, dies by the sword", etcetera. So how is this a mod realism if there are no consecuences for your actions? I read some post saying "well, people fighting for resources, what a surprise!". Please tell me what game are you playing? In the game I'm playing, many players stay in Cherno and Elektro shooting everyone just for killing. They don't give a shit about resources, they stand on top of a tall building and write on the chat: "Any friendlies in Cherno?" A noob player approaches you looking for company and gets shot in the face, "LOLOLOL" writes the scumbag who killed him. What resources are you talking about when this happens? An asshole lied to a new player and killed him with a sniper rifle and NVG to steal his Beans? Yeah, makes sense!, the only thing is, they do that for hours, and they never take anything from anyone, it's just griefing and trolling. You want to be a Bandit and ruin other people's games? It should not be as easy as it is right now. DO NOT remove the PVP element of the game, DO NOT nerf bandits' aim or mobility, just as many notorious scum on this earth is identifyable (the Yakuza, american gangs like the Bloods or the Crips, the MS13), make them look different, so people know whether to avoid them, or to shoot then on sight, and all these stories about survivors being illed after helping someone (even after adding them as friends on Steam and playing for a few days) will be over.

Alright everybody, chill the FO and let this man do his magic.
