I remember to a time before standalone, well a couple of weeks really if I remember right, but The devs were saying that they were going to make area's where players were killed ofter, Cherno, Elektro, Major Cities, etc. were going to become filthy with diseases and zombies would be attracted - I know the zombie numbers will increase further into the year, espiecially with the new renderer, but I haven't heard a thing about the medical / disease aspect that they were talking about, couldn't see anything on the roadmap about it either and it sounded like a really cool idea! Have any of you heard a thing about this or about whether it's been scrapped or not?

Yeah same, i was sitting at work, listening to someone moan about the phone plan - when this came to mind about the diseases and what was happening with them! ...I clearly love my job

check this post for the diseases! http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/107637-feedback-on-status-of-infectious-diseases-in-dayz/ Kudos for B4GEL for finding it!

yeah brilliant bit of info there if anyone has read what Rocket posted about the diseases then its definately worth a read! most likely will be a part of the diseases that will be in Q1 of 2015

Couldn't see anything about it on there.. Have it bookmarked though :D cheers!

....... we dont

So whoever played the mod would know that if you got knocked out and a zed was eating you (or doing the eating animation because they don't eat flesh.......) you'd remember the shouts and screams from the player! Be great if these sounds were brought back eh? Or if you were being chased by alot of zeds if your character would get upset? Or if you were in extreme pain - shot to bits / broken legs / something painful / dying would result in a loud scream that could be heard from a good distance away Nightime would be terrifying! Any thoughts?

Good point, i was just thinking of atmospherically speaking, a scream for a fall is a nice touch though!

Same here man, must be something wrong with us then eh? :P

I assume that you probably play epoch and the like then? When the mod first came out it was a harsh game, when the modders took over almost all went for the base building / rust experience after DayZ+ (a few months after release) Only mods like Namalsk and DayZero actually made the mod a little harder - namalsk was very cold - and DayZero was very little food or guns to get by on, a true DayZ experience Which is what the Standalone is going for - a realistic apocalypse - to the extent of gameplay of course - no Sky towers and everyone with Armored Tanks and BDRM's is ridiculous - when and if it gets modded again this may suit your taste better, but myself and a few others im sure prefer searching for ammo, and having that moment when you actually find a handfull of rounds for that magnum... Glorious

I personally like it as it currently is - otherwise going for a run and you start overheating - especially in ghillie's - and you have to go lay in a pond to cool off quickly - just means that you can't stay still for too long - but if you put you're tinned food into a fire it will warm up and actually keeps you warm for a while!

It happens when you die, and then respawn in close to when a server restarts - when this happens your character can't connect to the server and that little bridge at Vybor is actually the Debug zone (in the mod it was way out in the plains with no trees) so when something goes wrong it basically spawns you in there. CommanderPixel on Youtube does a great vid on explaining why it happens

The man I was named after.. I'm on the same pligrimage as you, and I am yet to find the Macleod Longsword Maybe we should meet one day and have a battle to determine who may last :D

haha be nice wouldn't it? The Ping is set fairly high because we all live in Ireland and the UK, but theres a guy in our group from the states that is able to play on it!

So as we all know, Cannibalism is in - we can kill a guy and eat him - very satisfying Downsides to Cannibalism as it stands are Kuru - Uncontrollable Crying and/or Laughing What I was thinking was adding another layer to the mechanic - when you have raw human steaks, they can be thrown and that will attract a zombie to them, that way we don't necessarily have to eat them, but they can still be used and be effective! And it would also help in stealth when the zombie AI is implemented Any thoughts?

Our server runs from 5pm through to 9pm - so its late afternoon through to the nightime - if you're interested just search Terminus in the server browser

Well, on the one had it would make all the deathmatchers leave - but on the other hand it does market the game for that mode at the same time - thus getting more of those player's into the playerbase On top of that, it also defeats the purpose of what the game is about - its supposed to be a zombie apocalypse - a world where supplies are limited and the people left are trying to survive - hopefully when the game is finsihed the environment will be a lot more malicious and harder to survive - and ammo shouldn't be nearly as plentiful as it is, then we will have a better game more suited for what it is trying to define - but until that happens KoS will always be there, it is needed - just not to the extent of 90% of all encounters

Try changing the Video options for everything down to low - change the resolution to match your screen too - then see what your Fps is

That is an interesting point - if an 'Easy' Mode was around - it would slow down the KoSer's - DayZero was probably the most difficult mod to survive in and it was amazing!

Man i remember DayZero! That was so hard, loved every second of it! had to crawl through the long grass to get to the airfield while another group was fighting beside me, i didnt have the ammo to fight so i layed low and made it through haha - absoultely beautiful map too - Podagorsk I think it was? :D

Well if it goes anyway like the mod did (which IMO i hope it doesn't) there will be plenty of servers that let you spawn with high powered rifles and ammo - if servers were if you donate then you spawn with your preferred loadout - i actually like looting and trying to make do with the few rounds i can find - getting decent with the bow and arrow now too! But if that's what you're looking for then when and if it gets to be modded by the community then Epoch and Overpoch servers will let you do just that!

Its far from every other shooter....

I have a RAT9, few extra buttons on the side so I just use them for zoom in and out

haha laughing away here

Welcome to Dayz! If you want to know how to fit something in to your inventory then click and drag it over - the size of the item is the same as the number of slots it will need - disinfectant spray for example is two vertical slots! Tip - dont drink it! and a windowed mode? just press alt + enter haha anyways enjoy your time here!
