I appreciate leaving the dogs and horses alone, but what the fuck are you going to do with the bike? Just take your fleshlight and go where the sun don't shine. For you people who didn't get that (NSFW)

I am insane IRL, do I get mechanics to make me behave 'normal' ingame?

If you get a decent shot at getting his creditcard credentials; applicable when broke as fuck. *sorry couldn't resist carry on.

Guess that explains why they can move through walls as well... they just be Dim Mak'ing the bricks. Which is very good, but brick not hit back.

Carreer advice: become a politician, you'll fit right in. OT: It's a nice idea, but I can imagine it would take a toll on performance (they still have to be rendered even if they're inanimate). Better is to have a proximity check and make sure the Z's respawn X-meters away from players so you won't notice them popping in existence and break your immersion.

Confirmed. I hope there won't be helicopters, but if they have to at least make them a lot harder to fly/maintain.

Little disclaimer: This might be a controversial topic to some, so if you are easily offende.... wtf are you doing here? Right, that said... I might be a little sick in the head, but I had the idea the other day of being able to play as a child. Now I understand that this is a high cost - low gain development situation, so I have no illusions of it ever happening, but I wanted to gauge opinion on the matter anyway. Now ofcourse it would have to be implemented in an elegant way that not everyone plays as a kid because of smaller hitboxes (think severe limitation to usage of items such as not able to wear the bigger packs, restrict use of rifles or increased recoil, limited in performing medical treatments etc.). Maybe it's just my desire to rp a family where I have to protect my kid from harm and can bitch with my wife about how to do that, but where does a non-rp'er stand on this subject? Any die hard KoS'er out there who would think twice to pull the trigger when he sees a child in his scope? Or would he still think "fuck it, I need his schoolboy pants to make bandages"? Or could it lead to extreme situations where people would really feel sick after witnessing a child excecution? "A 27 year old male commited suicide after witnessing a massacre of children in online game" How's that for a slice of bad publicity? I really don't know what people's feelings are regarding this, so discuss away.

^ what he said without the unneccesary insult. It's probably a hassle to implement and when they do people will circumvent it. I think a better bet is just to find a server which has a community around it with a gentlemen's agreement to refrain from the use of 3rd party voice programs.

Hypocracy; the 2nd most recorded thing that comes out of people's mouths, right after breathing.

High cost - low gain situation and on top of that I don't think it holds a place in DayZ. Maybe being able to climb small sheds and up trees, but don't get your hopes up for an Assassin's Creed type of movement.

You're right the sprint is a part of the development style of scrum (http://www.scrum.org) which is a pretty nice method for handling projects with multiple teams working on different aspects. A friend of mine is a teacher and he introduced this method for school projects.. he had distress calls from parents that "they [their children] couldn't stop talking about school projects" and his peers are now reviewing on a broader implementation throughout the school.

I'm sure he has some left from that 40 billion that dissapeared to bring us the Olympics. In regards to the Crimea shit; just devide the country like Czechslovakia in the 90's, let the Putin-huggers have their Russian way and those EU freaks can have their country be declared bankrupt in a few years. Everyone happy.

Yeah you will, at 100k you'll notice buildings with low LOD pretty close; if someone shoots you from the window you won't be able to see him because the house he's shooting from is still a cardboard box placeholder on your screen. I've got mine at 450k and take the 25-30fps in cities for granted.

Wait what... they didn't quadruple the dev team? Where's my pitchfork and torch!

Sorry for derailing, but my god what a bunch of political correctness going on... Can't make jokes about the holocaust? Wtf is that bullshit? I guess you can't make jokes about cancer either? Or starving kids in Africa? People fucking die... lots of them... daily. And humor is a great way to ease pain or relativate the situation, now I'm not saying you should intentionally be hateful and some jokes are in bad taste (like the NRA holding a pro-gun symposium in a community that just had a high-school shooting), but common' it's been 70 years noone on this forum is going to be genuinely offended by it. I'm also not trivialising the situation, I know my history; I've visited old concentration camps and got pretty emotional and disgusted when we entered the showers. But not being allowed to make jokes about it just seems like PC bullshit to me.

Thank you for reminding me of that awesome song (and movie).

Didn't Hideo Kojima once said he wanted to make a game with permadeath like this? I guess some sane people slapped some sense into him. I have been thinking about a semi-permanent MMO where servers bloom and die like flowers... that's a bit vague. Let me give an example; a zombie game; people start out and do stuff, but once you're dead you cannot rejoin that server; the zombies grow in numbers effectively making the map smaller and smaller, eventually everyone on the server is dead and it'll restart the cycle... how long per cycle? A week? month? year maybe? This idea has some issues though: people would be pissed if they can't play with their friends until the next cycle or they need to get all their friends to a new server when one of them dies. How would you handle people logging on a server for the first time when the cycle is about 75% in? And some other issues I can't be arsed to pen down. So in conclusion OP's form of Permadeath seems like a chore, but there is some room for harsher mechanics to induce more rage on people who die. edit: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/kojimas-mad-zombie-game-idea

Because the use of improper language can really convey something completely different than you intended. For instance I was with my mate the other day and at some point I tell him "Me and my girlfriend fuck like rabbits!" He looks a bit weird and responds "Wow dude... I only fuck... like... my girlfriend." I stole that joke [http://youtu.be/dT1v1GmPCtE?t=3m40s]

I don't mind these hacks which point out loot; if people want to ruin their own experience fine, but when they compromise other people's fun I'm a bit less forgiving. With that said is there even an aimbot out there that actually works, taking into account the realistic ballistics and zero'ing? I don't really know, the last time I've used hacks was with my clan in CS 1.5 to find wallbang spots. Also to completely ruin the game like what happened to the mod, you'll need pissant annoying cheats like these:

Not going to jump to conclusions regarding DayZ's development, but holy balls what a poor chosen time and wording to bring this news.

You want them to act badly and behave borderline retarded?

The OP is like a stick... that somehow managed to manouvre it's way a bit too deep in the ass of some people and now you're puppets dancing to his twisted tune. I like it! Continue please.

I was coming in here as a nay-sayer, but the OP isn't about airdrops or WoW style quests so I have to adjust my stance a bit and give a thumbs up! Environmental events and zombie hordes should definately make it into the game, however they should not be announced in any way. It's more fun running accross a worn out group telling you "Don't go north, it's hell up there" than reading a box on your screen saying "A blizzard is approaching from the north."

That might take it a bit far and make it even more of a hassle to implement, but I like it! "Shut him up honey, they're hearing us!" .... "Not with the g'damn rattle!" *gives off hateful look and cocks gun for approaching bandits*. It's a bit of an alternative route to 'end' game instead of boarding up houses, maintaining vehicles and building bases. What would happen to the baby if you can't find anyone to spawn into the child though? Just remain a baby? Turn into an NPC child (I wouldn't like this)? Or cannibalism? Also with pregnant woman there might be another reason to refrain from KoS because of RL implications with more emotional involvement than any artificial system would.

I used to be an UFC fighter like you but then I took a knee to the face...(Not sure if still acceptable or made an ass of myself) OT: Good post, I like most of the ideas. Except maybe the skill system, I've seen better suggestions for that (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158609-sa-suggestion-introduction-of-microskills/). Maybe choosing a 'background' for your character could add a little head start on some skills, but nothing that has anything to do with gun handling as I think that'll probably force a lot of people in the military/police background. I absolutely adore the passports you mentioned, if only for rp reasons... there would need to be a little more customization though.
