SgtPotatoes added a comment to T111427: Implement notoriety system to flag innocent, criminal and murderers.

If you want to regress that far, your entire life cannot be verified to be 'real'. You could be hallucinating everything you think you know from inside a coma. You could be in an elaborate simulation. You could be an artificial intelligence in a computer program.

DZ has been designed to be as realistic as is possible for a computer game. It's intended to simulate a brutal survival scenario where resources are scarce and you have to make hard decisions about who to trust. Magic popularity badges are out of line with that design.

That you would suggest morality or NPCs at all is indication enough that you haven't been listening to the Devs and are out of touch with what DZ is supposed to be. The only things that should tell you if a stranger is nice or not are their actions. You won't get any magic badges that tell you how many people Joe Survivor has killed and eaten today, that isn't something you can tell just by looking at a person.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T108956: Long Range Scope model possible mistake.

Modeling the LRS with a rail makes it look better when 'attached' to a rifle. And you're right about the Mosin, there isn't any way you would be able to mount anything but a PU (which was manufactured to be used with the side rail of the Mosin or SKS) without additional hardware and possibly having to drill out part of your receiver.

If you look at the way the LRS sits on the Mosin currently, it actually covers part of the bolt, right above the magazine. You would have a very hard time inserting rounds, and FORGET about using stripper clips.

Just another quirk of an unfinished design.

A thousand times yes. This has been one of the carry-overs from the mod that I can't get over. I get why it hasn't been a priority, but it kills the feeling of the game to see the two most important items I carry (aside from clothes or bag) floating over my back. Requiring an investment of an item like rope or cloth in order to keep your hands free fits the flavor of the game perfectly.

Maybe if you kept the hood down on the model, it could work as a shirt/coat replacer while worn, but the sail you get on the hanging material would have to be done very carefully.

'Press X to Navigate' is not something DayZ needs to be doing. Brutal realism has been the goal since the start, meaning if you want to use a map and compass, you learn how to actually use a real map and compass. There isn't anything that can be done to keep players from using Steam overlay or VOIP, and sacrificing an opportunity to learn an actual skill from a videogame is not worth it.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T106167: Military Toxicity (High-End Civilian Loot).

There is no stopping and waiting for item spawns, though. Unless you're talking about server hopping, which is a separate issue altogether. Civilian clothing should spawn anywhere civilians live or travel, but the chance to spawn the best civilian clothing can vary by map region, as I mentioned in my reply to Llew. Folks who live in the colder northern areas of Chernarus will be more likely to own more weather-resistant clothing.

We'll be looking for the best clothing, sure, but we'll be stuck with whatever we can find. The really good stuff can be rare, but it needs to be out there. Clothes get damaged, too. The longer you live, the more chances you'll have to ruin your Gorka and need something else.

And neither civilian nor military issued clothing is designed to give you protection from a bullet. Only a ballistic vest, helmet, or plate carrier will do that.

May 11 2016, 2:49 AM · DayZ
SgtPotatoes added a comment to T106167: Military Toxicity (High-End Civilian Loot).

@Llew:
I don't think that top-tier civilian clothes should spawn evenly across the map, there would need to be a higher chance to find quality items the further inland you travel, and a higher chance in isolated towns and single cabins. Folks living in the city wouldn't have as much of a need to hunt or weather the harsher elements. Keeping medical supplies to hospitals and car parts to garages makes sense, but everybody wears clothes no matter where you go.

@Gramps:
I absolutely disagree with you about the best gear ONLY being found in certain 'high-risk' areas (Which invariably translates to military zones). Like I've said, keeping military clothing on the top is BORING and promotes KoS. There is no reason why we would not be able to find jackets, pants, and bags that are as good or better (functionally) as a military uniform. Civilians need good clothing, there are (were) private companies that produce good clothing to meet that need, and potentially to a higher standard of quality. What do rich Chernarussians wear when they're cold?

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T106167: Military Toxicity (High-End Civilian Loot).

@colonel: The pants do say that, and I cannot figure out why. There are no military buildings in Gorka the town, and the first Gorka suits were made for the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

SgtPotatoes updated subscribers of T106167: Military Toxicity (High-End Civilian Loot).

@colonel: That's a good point, I suppose most of Chernarus is kinda 'country'. Military gear should go down overall while civilian gear becomes more common, even if the really good civvys are harder to find than good military.
'Gorka' just means 'hill', referring to the type of terrain it was designed for. Unrelated to Gorka the town. The suit is pretty true to life, though it's nowhere near waterproof. EMT jackets should be what Gorkas are now.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T105380: .380 logic issue.

I understand, I was addressing the last two lines of your ticket. The Makarov is not a military pistol anymore, .380 auto is not military ammunition. As far as I've read, the Mak wasn't manufactured in .380 auto until it became commercially available after the collapse of the USSR. If there were any candidate for a pistol that you can find just about anywhere in Chernarus, it's the Makarov.

But you're correct, I'm just speculating on the tables.

I would argue, however, that just because the only .380 guns are miltary loot right now doesn't mean that .380 wouldn't be common in civilian areas. They don't have to be married, and it would be a hassle to have to raid military zones just for the second weakest round in the game.

The new animal AI is in EXP, right?
Should only be a matter of time until it's appropriated for zed AI.

Advanced loot distribution is coming Q1 2015. It'll work out.

Slings! We need to shed this 'magic velcro' nonsense. I don't care if it's easy to make one out of rags or rope, just put a lid on survivors lugging around 3+ guns.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T101903: [Suggestion] duct tape and loot hordes.

Spawning a mob around a loot cache seems more like a dinner bell than a guard detail. It's an easy tell. If these folks were hoarding stuff, I'd think they would have died with it, so why not pack the building (or room) with zeds instead?

Outdoors, they could be hidden spider-holes. Making an underground room is hard, which is why the original underground player base idea was scrapped long ago, so a trap door model that works like a chest seems prudent. Players could even make them on their own as an alternative to tents, but they would need to be much smaller capacity.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T101677: other knives then "combat knife" dosn't fit in military boots.

I'll agree with you that more knives should be able to fit in your boot.

However, Mosin and SKS bayonets are much too long to comfortably fit, regardless of what you call them.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T101567: [Suggestion] Bowel Movement and Urination.

Ruining clothing, like destroying its quality, seems a bit severe. A 'soiled' status seems more appropriate... Something you can wash out.

Actually, a hygine stat wouldn't hurt. Smelly things attract animals and the like, being dirty can make you less healthy. Or harder to see in the brush?

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T101562: [SUGGESTION] zombies have realistic loot.

DMYD has the right idea.
A chance of simple loot is good, anything more is overdoing it.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T101130: Moving up hills slow compaired to ARMA 3 and how it should be.

Running uphill that quickly will tear up your thigh muscles pretty fast. A decaying quick run uphill would be good, but running up in the same way we can run cross-country now is too unrealistic in my opinion. Gotta limit it by stamina.

Tear up shirt: Create Rags that retain shirt's color/pattern
Use Sewing kit on colored Rags: 'Craft Armband' that retains rag color/pattern
Use another colored Rags on Armband: 'Apply Patch', select a simple geometric shape, adds chosen shape to Armband in color of applied Rag.
Use Pen on Armband: 'Draw Symbol', select a simple icon (letters, numbers, playing card suits), adds chosen symbol in center of Armband or on an applied patch in color of used Pen.

One base color Rag, one color Patch, one color symbol. No opportunity for abuse.
Only one Armband can be worn at a time, on either bicep.
Armbands cannot be disassembled, but can be torn into plain Rags.

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T95281: Ruined Items Probability from Player/Environment Interaction is Unrealistic.

Degradation from hits needs adjusting, agreed.
Associating a specific hit-zone with a specific item slot would be cool, but would take some doing. I would require an inventory redesign with it, displaying the actual item of clothing as a 'window' of your inventory screen with item slots placed over the zone of the clothing it represents. Hoping the upcoming menu redesign heads in this direction!

SgtPotatoes added a comment to T94042: Mosin 91/30 Not using correct Ammunition.

I'm positive that the Devs are aware of the wrong caliber. The Blaze 95 (Blaser B95) takes 7.62x51/.308 Win IRL.

Heirfuhrer, Gorka is 'mountain' or 'hill' in Russian, and the Gorka suits were designed to keep soldiers warm during their war in Afghanistan in the '80s. Not related to the fictional town of Gorka. :D
