Adding more aircraft variety to the Dayz wouldn't change the game for the 95% of players who never lay eyes on them anyway.

it would be hilarious to see bandits killing freshly spawned businessmen just for their shiny gold watches and beans

I am not saying it should be random, I think people should choose which skin/gear set they start with. Maybe instead of a male/female button it could have a 4-5 option class button. I like the idea of spawning as a doctor, and then teaming up with a friend who spawned as a cop. If the skins all had similar camouflage, then none of these would be that much more desirable than the rest anyway. I would love to see a customization system more in depth than this, but something like this could be an absolute minimum.

I think it would be awesome in the standalone, if you had the option to spawn in a random server, with a random low end weapon, in a wave of other random strangers on the shores of chernarus. The group of lets say 4-8 people could choose to: go there separate ways duke it out right there team up for a bit Maybe there would be 15 seconds of time to chat before everybody spawned, during which people could introduce themselves and talk about their intentions. Possibly their microphones would be automatically engaged so talking would be encouraged. I think this mode would increase player choice, and add an element of randomness to the game. Either extreme, of duking it out immediately on spawn, or going off to loot a city together would be loads of fun.

The current weapons in dayz work pretty well. If it wasn't for hackers and duplications, then high grade military weapons would be super rare and most people would still be running around with Winchesters and Cz50s. My two gun suggestions for the standalone are as follows: more frequent and more variety for low grade weapons. less frequent crazy ass weapons (would probably be solved by stopping hackers and fixing glitches)

So i was just hopping around across low pop servers looking for tents in super markets, when i saw a fucking battleship. About an hour ago it was beached on the shore right near the cherno supermarket on us 1993. Sorry, about the lack of pics, but my screen cap wasnt working. Was this hackers, or is there actually a chance of battleships spawning on the shores of chernarus? Has anybody seen anything like this before?

my friend just got a cough at nw airfield. Does anybody on the unofficial traders list have some antibioitics? and what would you want for them?

i used the trusted medics of the wasteland, they were great

why didn't you guys call up the trusted medics of the wasteland? http://www.trusted-medics-ofthe-wasteland.com/

i am a newish player, and i recently found a dead guy with all the best stuff. FNFAL, multiple ghille suits, nvgs, range finders ect. now i play like a total pussy. I stay away from cities, run away from gunfire, pretty much only go on at night so i can use my nvgs. I now just play incredibly overcautiously. If i did somehow manage to spot another player though and he was threatening, i would protect my good shit too.

So, i've been wandering around chernarus with a buddy the last 2 days looking our first vehicles. We haven't even found a bike. We made our way around the south and later the east coast checking every spawn on the way. When we made it to the hill south of Krasnotav where two atv's apparently spawn and found it empty, we gave up for the night. So I, being the DayZ addict that I am, woke up bright and early this morning to continue the hunt. I have been sitting on the same hill scouring it for atvs and then switching to a new server after about 5 minutes. I even have been googling new servers and looking in some that are less than a week old, but i have had no luck. Am I going about this the wrong way?

correct, vehicles and tents are server specific. Me and my friend have found 2 bikes, one of which we broke, and we have been hunting on and off all day for more vehicles in the interior

thanks nzStalker, i'm on my way. Lucent I might check that one out later as well.

any other ideas?

I am trying to find a spawned vehicle though, i don't want to go trudging off the the other side of the map. Is there a most effective way to check the spawn locations for vehicles, across several servers?

i just downloaded dayz this weekend. I have yet to get it to work. I bought arma 2 combined operations on steam and then got dayz commander. When i try to connect to a server with dayz commander the loading bar in the middle of the screen gets to full and then stops. This has happened a few times, and once i let it go for a couple of hours and checked back later and it was still at full, so i am positive i gave it enough time. I have also had no luck connecting to dayz servers through arma 2 co. The one time I think i did get into a server, I wasn't able to select my gender because my mouse got all fucked up and would not respond correctly. Any suggestions?

Im having this problem. I have the correct versions of arma 2 and dayz. battle eye updated. this screen goes on indefinitley on every server i join.

i just tried it again and it says "you were kicked off the game batte eye failed to update"

anyone else have any other ideas?

i have arma 2 96895 and dayz 1.7.2.6, i don't think that is the problem
