Wow. 8 vehicles? In over 140 hours of playing DayZ on many servers over the past month or so, I have seen only 1 vehicle in motion. Actually, I heard it at night on some server going down some road North of the North West airfield. Only seen it for about 4 seconds as it passed me by. Tried to type in chat "hey hold on, friendly here can you pick me up?" But it was too late, and the driver didn't give a shit to respond. Oh wait..I did see a bike. That was my brother, whom I've been trying to meet up with for about the same time in the game. He rode the bike all the way from Elecktro to Polana where I was at. I spent about 50 hours finding gear for him. By the time we finally met up, the aggro of the zombies caused the framerate to crawl. I ended up dieing because the zombies were also coming through the walls (no-clip issue) of the building I was in. He came back and collected my gear and we logged off. The following day we were finally going to try meet up again. Soon as he logs in he get's sniped by a bandit. Moral of the story? Nerf bikes. Add trains. And there should be molotov's to burn zombies and bandits to hell.

What exactly am i looking for Look at the top corners :P A Tiger? Don't tell me someone opened the gates at the zoo in Cherno. XD Them sonof a $#@%!

Bandit's can of beans should turn to fuel. That way, when they get shot, they explode into nice bite size chunks for the zeds. Problem solved.

Maybe it relays coordinates to a bunker or an underground lab? Could it be Morse code?

Can't wait to buy a few of these t-shirts. Gonna need a few extra, I'm about out of bandages. The zombies are ruthless.

Cannibalism is best suited for zombies, isn't it? Like it or not, it's gotta happen. This game can do it right with the foundation already being set. The game has been called an "experiment" but I just know that it's a whole new game in the bigger picture a few years from now. It's something we should all be proud to be a part of. DayZ is truly one of the most important games that have come along in quite some time. If I eventually turn into a zombie and need to scour the land for brains, tear and gnaw at animal flesh to survive, beat down doors and barricades with my zombie clan of the camps survivors have created, so be it. It'll be a hell of a lot of fun. That would be the only way I would resort to cannibalism.

A friends list would be a nice addition to the game. My brother and I have been trying to find each other for a while now. If you find a map and compass in the game it shows yourself as a "blue dot" on your map. It helps, but the other player has to have a map and compass as well. Maybe once the game expands, players could provide other roles such as a taxi service? I posted a thread in the Suggestions tab called "Gyrocopters". Maybe they would be good for transporting. While it is a long shot, and the game is somewhat still in it's infancy, it's something to think about. Maybe cans could be used as a monetary system, especially if they were able to be smelted into melee weapons. That functionality alone in my opinion, would open up the world of Chenarus to even more ideas.

Great ideas here BoneZ. I would like to add an idea for the cans and bottles. Maybe there will be a purpose for them? If melee weapons or classes were introduced, one I think of is a blacksmith. For example you find 20 cans and a few empty bottles. You could go to a factory and smelt the steel and glass to create melee weapons, molotov cocktails, tools, or parts for vehicles.

Haha very cool. Good position with a lookout over the ridge. Would be awesome to be able to build stands to trade or sell goods.

Ohhh that's scary! Nice find. Does it open?

Good ideas. Maybe some of stores in the towns, or certain cargo containers could have the lightbulbs and power cables in order to fix the lighthouses.

Here is a 2 seat version. This one could be located at the airfield(s) or near a radio tower command post high up in the hills. Maybe in a unsuspecting broken down warehouse.

Well thought out. I agree with the "rewards" idea. Maybe even "badges" players could receive for zombie or bandit kills and vice versa for player kills by bandits. Sort of an experience type system which would make the player stronger. The more you engage in zombie or PVP combat, explore the elements, the more the player is able to sustain damage, increase weapon accuracy, and ultimately progress in the game. Drinking soda for example could have an effect on player stamina, maybe it already does?

After putting many hours in the game, I have thought of something which I think could add more mechanics and replay value to the game. Something simple and easy to make (with the right parts of course). In order to "make" one, you would need: 1 Helicopter rotor piece 1 Engine 2 Scrap metal (frame and console) 2 Wood pile(s) (console and on board storage container) 1 Wheel 3 cans Fuel (not as much as the helicopter) Radio (like the one in the military/medic tent near the NE airfield) Some of these items may not be available, as this is just an idea. Here are some examples of a Gyrocopter: US type gyrocopter German type gyrocopter Here's a video of one in motion. Imagine this is you after finding the parts. With your gear packed in the storage compartment, off you go into the great unknown. Searching for survivors, dropping some gear off to a team mate, or hunting for your next prey.

I like this idea. If they could be anything like how the horses are in Red Dead Redemption (animation wise) then I'm all for it. There are rolls of hay out in the country side and near some rural areas. With that in mind, a whole new mechanic for horses would have to be created to keep with the theme of the game. This includes keeping them fed and hydrated and the ability to trample zombies and bandits of course.
