I see your point, but there is no way to tell for sure that the man was a bandit, even if the system was implemented. Back in the mod, some people had bandit skins that they got in self defence. You could get a false message like that and shoot an innocent guy. On the other hand, if the guy truly was a bandit, and a lone wolf player wanting to change his playstyle to a hero, you wouldn't trust him based on that message

Did i imagine it, or do you raise your eyebrows at 0:12? The idea of looking into the rooms from the roof did not cross my mind, really nice one.

Why? Woud you get a floating text in real life if you had a bad feeling about a guy? And why would you want the game to decide if you have a bad feeling about a player? Talk to the guy and judge by yourself. That is, if you are actually willing to talk to someone. Most of the people just shoot first, then ask questions later

They work on both, but only until restart ;) Joke aside, yeah, only on servers that have persistance on

Wow, this was a nice presentation of a suggestion you have there, not even kidding. Well, here are my thoughts. I like the beard part, but i can't see my character getting chubby. I mean, he is running around all the time and eating nothing but beans and an occasional meat. I would assume he would lose weight rather than gain it. Don't know about this part, seems to overly complicate things. Me and Askelon share the same thoughts about this. The point is to try and survive, and get attached to your character as it represents you in the apocalypse. I am completely against player perks. It would be good on an rp server, but people would just choose the statistically superior one, and we would have 100's of Rambo's running around.

It really doesn't work that way

Please, do share

Either a crash or a server restart

That is why you play on servers which require a whitelist (something SA does not offer at the moment). I promise you, you will get a positive experience on most of them. Regarding the game itself, the mod has more features than SA. Not vanilla though, but hardly anyone plays vanilla anyway.

I really doubt this. You can't really optimise a game built in this engine not to take so much CPU resources. Both Arma 2 and Arma 3 are very CPU heavy

It doesn't seem so long ago, but when i think about it, it is almost 2015. That was in 2012... Good lord i guess it really was that long ago. I checked the mod a few days ago, there seems to be only one populated vanilla server. I remember when my list would just refresh on and on.. This was before DayZ Commander and all that gadgets. What happened? We have a lot of options now, a lot of different mods, but i still remember fondly of the old vanilla, when everything was new and people actually teamed up to survive. There was even an online DayZ online radio station, playing music to the survivors, and broadcasting the events on a single server. Anyone remember that?

Vanilla? I checked it out the other day, it only has a couple of servers, one of which was populated. Its very sad to see..

Oh come on, the guy just bought the game, and you are telling him to come back when it's finished... To answer your question OP, the zombies are bugged at the moment, so running inside the building won't do much. Try to get yourself an axe, then strafe to the side while hitting him. If you don't have any weapons, get into first person view, and hit the zombie in the head. He should fall down for a few moments, and you can use that to escape. Try and break the line of sight to get away from him

Sorry, i worded that kinda badly. What i meant to say is that servers with persistence on spawn less loot for some reason. Check it out: Link 1 Link 2

Was it a server with persistence turned on? There was some word that servers with persistence spawn less loot

Wasn't this in the mod? I vividly remember in Namalsk, i would shake when my character would be cold

They do spawn in the smaller ones as well, but its a waste of time to search them as they have way less spawn locations than the large ones. Just go to Dubky or a similar complex of tall apartment buildings and search floor by floor, room by room. It is tedious, but you will find the tent eventually. I personally like Dubky for this, as it has 6(i think) buildings right next to eachother, and you can cross to the next one through the roof

They spawn all through the building. Check everything, not just the rooms where OP found it

Same here. I make a nice cozy fire, light up a cigarette or a joint, and do some inventory managment or perhaps read a book until it stops

No one is going to read that because it sounds like it was written by an 11 year old. i mean.. I did read it however, but i have no idea what you need help with?

This looks pretty cool in comparison to other photoshop attempts in the thread. Much lighter though

Depends on the range. I don't like to snipe anymore as it takes away the player interaction. For medium ranges i prefer the SKS or any of the Ak variants, and a Magnum for close encounters (that gun is just too badass not to use)

Just got a notification for some reason. Steam name is the same as here, and the picture is me looking bad

Cool in theory, but i can't see how this would be implemented into the game. Also, not everyone would know how to start a fire this way. This is the apocalypse. Survival of the fittest. People who know how to start a fire this way benefit from it, but most ordinary people wouldn't know that. Not that it matters though, as everyone seems to know how to start a fire, how to fire a gun and a sniper rifle, how to make splints to immobilize limbs, and how to administer a blood transfusion..

A definite no. This has been suggested somewhere alongside player classes, and has a very good reason why not. People already kill themselfves to get a better spawn location. If this was a thing, people would kill themselves until they got a 'trait' they wanted.
