    Asking people's names

    +1 Awesome idea! Our squad is constantly screaming things like "Oh JE5uS WHO'S THAT COMING UP FROM THE EAST!? SHOULD I KILL HIM?!?!?"....Gets frustrating, but better then playing on a nameplate server... This would be a perfect fix. Do et rocket!

    Cigarettes!

    Huge +1 for this idea. MGS style! Just the stress from playing dayz makes me want a smoke(I quit over a year ago). In a real zombie apocalypse im pretty sure I'd be chain smoking(average life is about 4 hours now? you'll be dead long before the cancer gets you) To the haters: its just a game guys. Virtual smoking won't give you cancer or force you to smoke IRL. Promise.

    DayZ Tea Time

    +100000 for being able to spark up a smoke in game MGS style. Lets be honest here. It's the mthrfkn apocalypse. In a place similar to Russia. Everyone would be smoking. Everyone. Every. Single. One. Won't happen though because then impressionable youngsters will all start smoking....meth.... Hot tea would be pretty bad ass too. Nothing like a cup of tea before murdering someone for their canned beans. edit: someone put this in the suggestion forum if it isn't allready there. i'm too lazy

    Soldiers Recruiting [SLD]

    +1 Some solid guys in this clan. Was a bloody clusterfuck at first, but much better organized now that the TS server is up and running. Nab and pro friendly. Join up!

    Inventory question

    alpha....and flashlights take your side arm slot....keep at it, eventually you'll learn all the little things to avoid doing such as picking up a flashlight when you have a side arm with ammo that you want to keep :D
  8. Servers down? Can't find LEM or TARKOVSKY... :( Please come back!(at least LEM) :D [love your servers! keep doing what your doin!]

    Character Location tied to individual servers

    Sounding more and more like an MMO. Not necessarily a bad thing, but doesn't seem to be the direction Rocket is going. IMO, the only way to prevent death dodgers and barracks jumpers is to implement a long log out timer. Yes this would screw people who get client crashes.

    A new 'status' to encourage cooperation

    I think we can all agree that long term isolation CAN lead to depression/mental issues. So make it random. One life you might have no problem with being alone, the next life you start muttering to yourself after the first couple days in the forest. Ever played Amnesia? :D One of the scaryest games I've played and it used a similar system to this, only darkness instead of loneliness.
  11. eldritch (DayZ)

    A new 'status' to encourage cooperation

    This is one of the best ideas I've come across. Being alone=>depression=>talking to self randomly=>gives away your position Alone for a long time=>insanity=>screaming randomly?(from hallucinations?)(actual hallucinations would be really freakin cool but probably very difficult to implement) This would add a lot to both the horror and survival aspects of the game. Love the idea of being able to find drugs/antidepressants to fix this without having to meet other people, so lonewolfs could stay lonewolfs if they really wanted to. Edit: I'm part of 10man group, but due to working graveyards half the week I frequently play in the early morning and thus by myself. I don't think this addition would change game play for solo players that much as long as the "depression/insanity" took a reasonable amount of time to manifest. It would just be one more type of loot you would need to find to stay alive. Having to find some antidepressants once a day or so wouldn't be that bad, and like I've said, insanity would definitely add to the horror aspects of the game, and new requirements to stay alive/functioning would add to the survival aspects.

    I would like to be able to spawn with friends.

    Would be nice to have some sort of 'group' function. Maybe when your 'group' all died they could all spawn in roughly the same area? It takes so much time to meet up after death that our group frequently doesn't even bother, just meet back at camp.

    M4A1 CCO w/ SD Ammo

    Just tested this out with M4A3 CCO and SD mags. It's silent to zoms but definitely not silent to players. SD rounds in the M4A3 CCO do not follow the same trajectory of the regular ammunition. They don't seem to be less accurate, they just fire consistently higher. Seem to remember being able to zero the M4A3 CCO in the past, but page up/down had no effect this time around.

    How much would you pay?

    I'm poorer then a Romanian gypsy and would still happily pay $60 for a polished, modern graphics, stand alone Dayz game that would continue to be supported. Would also be down for a pay-per-life model. Unlimited lives priced at regular MMO sub fee ($15?) or $1 for a life or two as a sort of trial or for badass players that don't die very often. Some sort of discount or perk(special skin?) for those who have been with Dayz since alpha would be a nice nod to the community. As long as this game never goes pay2win I'm happy.

    Disconnecting - 1.7.1 - Discussion

    easy fix...30 second timer to exit game,,,if you alt-f4, your body stays there for 30 seconds... So when your in a fight, and suddenly you see "enemy's name" disconnected, you know you can walk right up to him and put a bullet between his eyes. 5 seconds isn't enough to take out death dodgers, 30 seconds at least,,,hell, why not a full minute?
  16. YES.! -Would stop coastal makarov duels. If you find a gun, you'll want to keep it/not die. -Would make the coast less ridiculous -Game is too easy, would add challenge

    Low blood, bleeding? WTH

    yep, logging in hungry and thirsty is normal. Makes sense that your char would get hungry just sittin there right? Not sure about the bleeding thing

    How to move a stuck vehicle

    lol I'm pretty sure i know exactly which truck your talking about...There is one in the far north-west that spawns with a pole sticking up through it's flatbed. If we are talking about the same truck spawn, then it can be driven out with time/luck.

    Server Recommendations

    Everyone's a bandit. Don't trust anyone unless you know them in real life, and you are able to go over to their home and slap them if they put a bullet in the back of your head. Also, try the beta servers. They have less cod kids, more HQ bandits :D
  23. same, reinstalled dayz and battle-eye and beta patch....still nothing
