Chernarus isn't necessarily an island. It is actually part of the real world http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/48159-chernarus-in-real/

I know I am probably not the first to think of this but I think that splints should be added to the game. Splints would be applied to broken limbs to allow the player to limp around. Limping would be slow, but not as slow as crawling, limping would be louder/more visible than crawling or maybe even crouching. Further limits could be applied such as you can only walk so long on the limb without taking a break. Maybe a splint could heal a broken limb over time. (Not my favorite idea but it makes more sense than morphine..Morphine would still heal as it does now.) I am not sure if the mod could support it but it could certainly be an option for the standalone. Splints would be found in the same places as morphine and blood bags. There could be small chances of finding them in supermarkets, houses, firestations, military tents, etc. Your thoughts?

Oh. No, I meant that over time healing splints would be alternative items you could find and use to walk on broken limbs too. Morphine would still fast heal.

I'd like to start off by saying you have quite a few good ideas listed here, I am going to give my opinion on some points. I personally don't like the idea of being specialized, but I believe the best way of going about what you are aiming for is have player's not able to carry every item they will need ever. So essentially it would take a team of let's say a guard, a medic, and an engineer to maintain a small crew properly. Map viewing together is an interesting concept and I would like to see the ability to mark just your personal map. You may want to try looking harder my friend, Ursa Major/Minor and the North Star are already there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqelc7x70vQ This is interesting and adds an amount of realism but I wouldn't count on its implementation soon. I disagree that all flying vehicles would escape. They still need fuel and where better to find fuel than Chernarus. Also, heli's add options to gameplay style and quick transportation. They already require fuel and maintainence which is good in my book. They provide more endgame for geared out players. This is a nice idea and will more than likely be a part of the standalone. Weapon consumption should be approached delicately because weapons don't actually degrade that often in real life. I have heard better alternatives like the requirement of cleaning them every once and a while or else they jam. Lock picking if ever added should be an ability that can be done by anyone with the proper skills (slight of hand,etc), not the proper stats. I believe gaining stats or perks ruins the realism and the equality already established. Overall, some great ideas. I love the idea of sleep and would like to add that maybe with sleep deprivation you start to hallucinate. Hallucinations could be random sounds of seeing zoms or vehicles that aren't there. Eventually you would pass out from exhaustion.

Yes to humans and animals. I say no to zombies unless it is a headshot because in most versions of zombies they have no circulatory system to spread the tranquilizer throughtout the body. But overall, good idea! I like it. I personally would like to be able to drag dead and unconscious bodies and put them in vehicle as well. Imagine getting knocked out and you wake up in the middle of Green Mountain like WTF HAPPENED

I extremely dislike any form of building stats or picking starting location because it takes away from the game. The only way I see something like this working is having an achievement system and having certain rewards that are strictly aesthetic, like skins. Even this has its flaws because some may argue that certain skins or whatever would help you blend in etc,etc.

I was in the teamspeak to witness all this, I then met up with these two and I would vouch for - Valkyrie -. ______ This evening I helped out Fameus (http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/user/93420-fameus/) in Stary and I am seeking to get whitelisted in the future.

Do you still need assistence>?

sigggggghhhhhhh.... why just why

This is stupid. You can already lower your weapon, salute, and friendly dance sooooo yeah

What server is this on?

Paying for the standalone is how it will be funded. Bohemia recognized the popularity of DayZ and took the correct step toward a standalone. Support the things you like with your purchases, the alpha is going to be heavily discounted anyway. Life is too short to cry over 5 - 10 $.

I would like to join but the forums I'm supposed to register to appear to be closed. I love the idea of a colony and I'm interested in joining.
