So I just played the game with the new update after taking about a 3 week break. First time with no weapons and it sucked, but I get it. But I don't get why it's half assed...meaning I really love the game but if you start me without weapons than at least make me able to pick up the axes I see stuck in tree stumps in villages? Because in reality that's what I would look for and grab...there's a ton of them and it would help when you first start out, easier to find them guns but harder to use.

Man this just made my day...it really did, this is just pure awesome. Bikes all the way. Thinking of a band of heavily armed survivors on bikes just trying to live in a world full of zombies...yep sounds like a bad yet awesome movie from the 80's. This has to be on the next update.

You'll notice my health is negative 14,000, as this group was feeding on me I took 2 morphine shots which allowed me to get up and run away. I eventually was at negative 60,000 and had to kill myself by jumping off a building. But this is a cool picture because I'm being feasted on but the screen isn't in black and white.

I like 1 and 2 but would probably be more likely to wear design 2, as someone else said it's simple. On the 2nd design I still think it would be cool to throw something on there or one the back about being a part of the Alpha test, maybe just a stamp on the back of the shirt "Alpha Test Survivor" or something like that?

Oh ok, thanks. How are you already doing this with barriacades? Do they stay when you log-off or stay with different servers?

I know base camps have already been mentioned as well as tents. But how about creating strongholds. Any zombie we see that's the main goal, but that' isn't really something that can be done in Dayz. What if a couple of buildings could be turned into strongholds. Somewhere people could go to trade weapons and gear, maybe a safe place, it could be barricaded from zombies for awhile but people have to keep fixing it up to ensure it doesn't get overrun. So the players have to work together in a sense. You can meet here and maybe go out in groups look for supplies which would still be limited. Like The Walking Dead, they have a safe place but still have to protect that from other humans who are aholes. So maybe the stronghold could be an existing building or buildings on the map but maintain some type of integrity that you see the % of. If it fails and is overrun it can be fixed but it would take people coming together to clear it from zombies and fortify it again. I like the idea of looking for supplies and I get if I die I lose all of that. I'm fine with that, but like any zombie movie or show everyone comes together, some ruin it but I think helping build this into the mod would be cool. Again just using building already there but giving a place people and try to hold, maybe it will only hold for a few days or week until the zombies take over, maybe people in the stronghold will get greedy and ruin it, but I think this would work.
