[QUOTE=Newbienice99;39132125]I got one hit by a zombie when my blood meter was at green.
Not knocked unconscious, 1 hit killed. He hit me, and it showed the score screen and told me to create a new character.[/QUOTE]
Might have been sniped by a player who saw the zeds and found you?
That seems like a more logical explanation to me unless you were playing on some uberhardcore server
[QUOTE=AugustBurnsRed;39115456]I haven't visited the thread since shortly after chernarus banned me for 'teleporting', to date the only server i've been banned from. Does FP still have a common server we use or one of our own?[/QUOTE]
Not like USPVT.

That does sound more likely, because I was in Stary Sobor, but there was only one other person on the server, and I was inside a tent. Can rifles shoot through the tents?

he managed to dodge the actual subject pretty well though
ALSO: apparently nearly all items will carry infections and diseases now? and that might be made into a gameplay element ("oh god I'm dying" "here have my bloodpack" *blood is infected and kills whoever recieves it slowly*)

I like the idea of infected stuff but I hope it does not just become a annoyance factor to the game.
Having to look at everything to see if it is infected and especially food to see if I can eat it.
I would hate to finally find something extremely rare to find out it is to infected to carry. Would piss me off so much.
I think once you die, your corpse should reanimate. Then to get your stuff back, you would have to kill yourself.

But don't zombies spawn and de spawn depending on where players are. This would add more persistent zombies to the world meaning more lag maybe. People die all the time in dayz and the number would rise quickly.
+ this would be a pain in the ass for people who just killed you. Having to kill a zombie as well. Unless the zombie takes 5 - 10 minutes to awaken after player death.

The amount of optimization expected from the jump to Standalone would allow for a ton of wiggle room, allowing for example a higher "spawn around players" radius for both zeds and items, so stuff like "oh there's zeds in that town, someone must be there" and other metagaming stuff would be impossible, and the world would feel a lot more alive when you find items and zeds as soon as you get out of your car.

Sounds like a cool way to cross someone and indirectly kill them.

Kind of like ZombiU?

I'm still hoping on better optimization for shitty low-end PCs

We'll need loads of hand sanitizer!

It could be when another player comes along, so it would reanimate as the zombies around it spawned.
Suddenly the new money is desinfection spray which I actually use daily on my keyboard so it's welcome :v:
Would be cool to have infected bullets so if the shot doesn't kill them the infection would later.
So, I got tired of waiting for the standalone and bought Arma II: Combined Operations, I'm guessing I need this thing called Play withSIX to install DayZ, right?
I hope they have dynamic lighting, it would add ALOT of depth to Nighttime. Flares, Chemlights and other light sources would be so much more useful
[QUOTE=alexojm;39133386]Would be cool to have infected bullets so if the shot doesn't kill them the infection would later.[/QUOTE]
Realistically that'd be impossible for most disease carrying bacteria. The heat of the bullet being fired would sterilize the bullet most likely.

paintball guns, and the paintballs are filled with liquid aids
i'd use em

I'd recommend DayZCommander but thats just me.
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;39133681]paintball guns, and the paintballs are filled with liquid aids

But the thing is, that wouldn't be a dangerous weapon
So the choice would be between killing them with an actual gun when they're shooting you with an actual gun, or just using a joke weapon because if you do get enough hits they die a horrible death while you're still dead and giggling like a bad troll.
Also it'd be useless against zeds

Stuff that you don't put into your body should only be able to infect you if it recently got blood from an infected player on it and you eat something soon after handling whatever it was, otherwise that's just stupid
You don't catch Aids from a car because it once had a hiv positive owner

sounds good to me

also i'm really getting a kick out of the fact that you actually thought i was serious about a paintball gun that shoots AIDS

I mean, the thought of some sort of infection spreading gun/bullet in general
It just doesn't seem like something anyone would actually use in a zombie apocalypse
Poison darts? or crosbow bolts would work, hiding in the bushes you shoot someone with a poison dart, then you stalk them..
[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;39133536]I hope they have dynamic lighting, it would add ALOT of depth to Nighttime. Flares, Chemlights and other light sources would be so much more useful[/QUOTE]
I hope throwing these types of items is faster, I would use them a lot more.

The idea that's been circulating on reddit (again all of these are ideas based on the fact that items can have an "infected" status) is kits for infecting stuff
And those same kits (needle+blood zombie vial) would be used as a stealth weapon to infect people ("hey let me take a look at your backpack" *STAB*)

Damn, all these news about Dayz Standalone made me really excited!
Anyone knows approximately when the Standalone will release? This summer?
